Ant POV

The next weeks were a bless. Dec and I were constantly together and we couldn't love it more. We liked a moment to ourselves now and then though, but we felt perfectly when the other needed that. Although there were some struggles in Dec's family, everyone loved us being a couple, being together.

"So, the last episode of this series." I said with a sigh. I loved doing SNT, but I also loved the two weeks of freedom after the end of the series. "The end of the series end of the show show is gonna be really cute this week." The director said. "There's gonna be a marriage proposal." Everyone was immediately in awe. "So you prepared the song with Robbie Williams, right?" the director asked. Dec and I nodded in sync. "Well, Dec's gonna disappear to get the guy who's proposing, Ant, you just keep singing. When Dec's back, the crew is gonna get the girl out of the audience and bring to the stage. Then there's a pause in the song where the proposal takes place, then the end of the song and the end speech from you, guys." The director said shortly, giving us all the script. This was gonna be so cute!

My mum straightened my tie. "Go mum, the show starts in 10, you have to be in the audience." I said, giving her a kiss. Dec laughed. Both our families loved what we did and we managed to bring most of them to the last episode of SNT. My mum was here with Sarha and her husband and Dec's mum with 5 of the 6 siblings of Dec, with husbands, wives, nieces and nephews. We were so excited! "Ready?" Dec asked. He seemed more nervous than other shows. He was always more nervous when family was in the room. "I'm ready." I answered. I gave him a kiss and pulled him in a hug. "I love you." I said. "I love you too, pet." Dec said.

The show was done perfectly. We even managed to do some improvisations here and there and the audience loved it. "Here is Robbie Williams for the end of the series end of the show show!" Jennifer Lawrence – our guest announcer of the week – said. Robbie started singing and we changed as fast as possible. We sang our part of the song, going full for it. Dec disappeared backstage to get the man who was proposing. "We have a special guest tonight." I said, enthusiastic. I loved live marriage proposals! "Here he is" I wanted to read the autocue, but it stopped rolling. The doors of the stage opened and I couldn't believe my eyes. All my family and friends were there. I hadn't even realised our family weren't in the audience anymore. I saw Stephen, Simon, David, Holly, Ashley,... Our mothers even brought the dogs! "Ant, I know you were not expecting this and I'm sorry to give you this freak out." Dec said. No, he couldn't do what I thought he was gonna do. "We're officially together for only 3 months, but I think the nation is ready to know now: we've been together for over 20 years." Dec told. I heard the public gasp. Tears were filling my eyes. "If I think about it now, I would've done it differently, I would've have chosen you over the girls I had in my life." Dec took my hands. The public awed. "I'm so happy now we're in the open and everyone is so supportive!" Dec also had tears in his eyes. The happiness radiated of his face. "I just love you so much it hurts, so Anthony David McPartlin," Dec said. Dec's youngest niece gave Dec a black box and he went down on one knee. Tears were streaming down my face. "Will you marry me?" he asked. I cried and nodded. "Of course I will!" I said. I let me fall in his arms. "I love you so much." I said. The audience went totally crazy.
