Toby's POV
          I leave the store and prepare myself to make the biggest commitment  that will ever happen in my life...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          I wake up and look at Happy. She looks so peaceful when she is sleeping...I wonder what happens to that peacefulness when she wakes up. I smile to myself and get ready. Once I'm ready, I head to the jewelry store. When I walk in, the man behind the desk smiles and asks me if I need any help. I say that I'm looking for an size 5 engagement ring  with a 3.2 carat diamond. The man looks at me like I'm crazy, but I just stare him down until he finds the perfect ring for Happy. It has a big diamond in the center and a bunch of small diamonds around it. I buy it and hide the box in my jacket pocket. Before I head home, I stop by the mall and buy a jet black tuxedo, a black tie, dress shoes, and a white button down shirt. Tonight has to be perfect. Once I'm done, I head back home to a very UNHappy Quinn.
"Where have you been?!" She asks worried. I quickly make up a lie.
"Sylvester needed me because Birdroni kept malfunctioning." I say nervously.
"Really? Birdroni caused you to leave me alone this morning?" She says hopefully jokingly.
"Hehe, yeah" I reply awkwardly. I walk over and give her a kiss.
"Hey, Happy?"
"Yeah, Doc?"
"Let's go out tonight."
"Um...okay?" She says unaware of what is happening.
"Wear something nice too. We are going out of town."
"Okay then." She says. I smile and walk away.
-----------------------------------------------------

           Happy and I are finally ready and she looks so beautiful. Soon it is 8 o'clock and Happy and I leave to head to my secret place. I had the team set up the area with candles and Happy's favorite food. About forty-five minutes later, we arrive. I get out of the car and help Happy get out. I tell her to sit down and I quickly head back to the car and move the ring from my jacket to my tuxedo pocket.
"So...How do you like it?" I ask and take a sip of my water.
"It's really pretty here. It would be a great place for our wedding." I nearly choke on the water. She looks at me suspiciously, but just continues eating.
"Yeah. It would be pretty great." I say smiling. Then when we are both done, I get everything ready for my proposal. I pull out my phone and start playing "Marry You" by Bruno Mars. I ask Happy to dance with me and she says, "Okay." We sway back and forth to the beat and once the song is over, I pause it, and get down on one knee. I pull out the box and her eyes fill up with tears. Then I start my speech.
"Happy Quinn, you are the most amazing woman that I have ever met. The day that you walked into the garage, I fell for you instantly. We have been through so much together and soon we are going to become parents. I know that you and I haven't always gotten along well, but deep down I know that we were made for each other..." I look up at her and smile. She has tears rolling down her face and I wipe them away before continuing. "I love you so much, Happy. I'd take a bullet for you and I'd do anything to keep you safe. You are the most beautiful woman and it would kill me if I didn't marry you... What I am trying to say is, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Happy Quinn, will you marry me?" I finish my speech and tears escape my eyes. I look at her and she wipes away her tears. Soon enough, she looks at me straight in the eyes and says...
