Chapter 17: Permission

Emma Pov:

We spent the day at my grandparents playing music and singing. My grandpa and Colin talked about guitars forever. I liked guitars but not that much. Everyone seemed to be getting along great. My mom looked so happy. We all ate dinner and then got ready for bed. Colin and my mom were sleeping in her old bedroom and I was sleeping with Evan in her sisters old bedroom. I wasn't that tired yet so I walked downstairs and found my mom in the kitchen drinking a glass of water.

"Mom are you alright"

"Yes honey, just a little sick from the"

"Yea I know"

"Are you okay"

"Yea it's just weird sleeping without you. Plus Evan kicks a lot"

"Sorry sweetie we just don't want to leave him in a room alone"

"I know, are you going to tell your parents"

"I was thinking of telling them before I leave. Now that my dad likes Colin I don't think there will be a problem"

"Yea Colin and grandpa get along amazingly well"

"I know. Alright let's go back to bed okay"

"Alright goodnight mom"

Colin Pov:

The day at Jens parents house went perfectly. The kids had gone to bed and Jen was getting ready. I told her I'd be right back. I knocked on her parents bedroom door and asked to talk to her father. We walked into the music room a couple doors down.

"Mr. Morrison"

"Please call me David"

"Alright then David I'd like to ask you something"

"Oh alright then"

"I'd like to ask your permission to marry your daughter"

"What!"

"You see I really love her and I'd like to ask her to marry me, if that's alright with you"

He came over and hugged me which was surprising

"Son, of course you can. I've never seen someone who makes her this happy. And you know you are the only one to ask my permission"

"I'm a bit old fashioned I guess"

"Thank you for asking me. Can I ask when you plan on asking her"

"I haven't quite planned that yet, I was thinking of doing it soon though. Maybe before I see you guys again but I'm not sure"

"Will you all be here for Christmas"

"I assume so. I want to possible ask her Christmas Eve, I assume she would like you all to be a part of it"

"She'll love that"

"Yes, and I would like it if you could keep this a secret."

"December is 4 months, I don't know if I can. But I'll try"

"Thank you sir"

I hug him and we both walk back to our rooms. I pass Jen in the hallway.

Jen Pov:

I head back from the kitchen and see Colin in the hallway

"Are you alright babe"

"Yep I'm fine how are you feeling"

"The baby making me a bit sick but I'm alright. Let's go to bed"
