It was now Saturday, the couple apparated to Gretle's house for the party.

"Uncle Alfie!" Abigail yelled running towards her beloved uncle.

Alfons gladly picked her up and they walked inside.

"Hey you two," Gretle greeted, happily.

Alfons greeted his oldest sister and in the process handed her daughter back to her.

"That's unfair!" Abigail whined.

The siblings chuckled as Gretle greeted Lisel. By the end up the hug, Abigail was in Lisel's arms

"I'll meet you in the living room, love, I need to discuss something with Gretle."

Lisel nodded and took Abigail to the living room leaving Alfons alone with his sister.

Once she was out of earshot Alfons began pacing in the kitchen.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to propose at Abby's birthday? I don't want to take the attention off her."

Gretle said. "You know we rarely have a party for her, this is just a guise so you can propose."

Alfons nodded.

"So, do you have the ring?"

Alfons noded and took out a small velvet lined box and put it on the table inside was a very simple but elegant diamond engagement ring.

"Do you think she'll say yes?"

"Of course, she bloody loves you!" Helga exclaimed walking in the kitchen.

"That's what I thought about Zoe but she left me at the bloody altar!"

Helga patted her younger brother's shoulder and said. "Lisel wouldn't do that, like I said before she bloody loves you."

That's all the encouragement Alfons needed. He pocketed the ring, walked to the living room, sat next to Lisel and wrapped his arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder comfortably.

After the presents Lisel noticed Alfons was quite nervous.

"Alfie, what's wrong?" she turned to him worriedly.

"Nothing."

"You sure?"

Alfons gulped and glanced at his sister who was sitting across from him she gave him an encouraging smile.

"Lotte?" Alfons asked, turning to his beloved girlfriend.

"Yes, Alfie?"

He took a knee, took her hand and said. "Lisel, I've loved you since you were sixteen. I can't imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"

Lisel nodded tears in her eyes as he slipped the ring on her finger and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

"Alright, you two you can continue that when you get home."

The newly engaged couple broke apart not even ashamed. After a few more hours they went home. The minute they arrived home a passionate snogging session ensued. By the time they reached their bedroom they were both shirtless.

"Are you ready, future Mrs. Herschel?" Alfons asked.

Lisel nodded and they made passionate love.

The next morning Alfons woke up holding his fiancée close. He glanced at the ring glittering on her finger and grinned. He hadn't quite processed the fact that she was his fiancée.
