Zack

"Are you ready to go?" I hear Kimberly ask me, running her hands through her hair, making sure she still thinks it looks beautiful, but she does that when she's nervous.

"Yeah, babe." I say, shutting down my Xbox and kissing her cheek. "Whos driving?" I ask her.

"Me?" She replies. "I guess I will."

I take her bag and help her into the car by opening the car door and closing it, she starts the car as I get in, and I can't help but smile at her gorgeous ring that she picked out.

We get to her parents house in about an hour, she was really stressing out, and I don't know why, because I had gotten her parents okay and the same for her aunts. I know she's just nervous because maybe they might have changed their minds.

We pull into the driveway and immediately her parents run out and hug us, happy to see their little girl and her fiancé.

"Mum, dad. We have things to tell you! But first we have to Skype Auntie so I can tell you then."

"Oh, tell me now! I can't wait! I'll act suprised." Isobel begs.

"Mum, no." She chuckles, kissing her moms cheek.

We go inside and set up Skype, and call her Aunt. "Hey sweet girl!" Her aunt coos.

"Hey Auntie! So I have news!" She grabs her purse, pulls out the ring box, and presents the ring on her finger. Her eyes had lit up, and so did everyone elses.

"I'm getting married!" She coos.

"Well, I sure hope you'll be getting married to Zack and not someone else." Her aunt jokes.

"Yes I'm getting married to Zack." She smiles and leans into my shoulder and I kiss her forehead.

"My baby girl is getting married!" Mr. Gaskarth coos, hugging her and I.

Needless to say, they're all taking it well. The sisters had already started planning while her dad took me out to the back room.

"You're a lucky man." He tells me. "I thought she was going to marry Denny, and I'm sure as hell glad she didn't."

"You know?" I asked, baffled.

"Alex told me, but Isobel doesn't know, so please don't tell her. I nearly went up there and kicked his sorry ass." He grumbles. "Thank you for helping her."

"It's no problem at all." I swore.

"Promise me something?"

"Yes sir."

"Never, ever hurt her. In any way, on purpose. Never lay a harmful hand on her." He pauses, and I start to promise, but he cuts me off. "Not that I think you'd do that, Zack, but if you were to even think about it."

"I would never, ever hurt her on purpose, and I'd never lay a hand on her in a harmful way." I gauruntee. "She's my girl, and I love her to the moon and back a few thousand times."

"Alright, son. And don't dicorce her, you're marrying her to put up with her."

"Yes sir. I won't even consider that, ever."

"I love you, kids, and I won't want to see either of you hurt."

"Yes sir."

After a little while, we go home, and get changed into our pajamas and cuddled as we fell asleep, happily.
