Remember My Love (A Sanvers Story)

3. A proposal

Alex' pov

J'onn was standing in the hall with blood on his hands, Maggie's blood on his hands.

"Calm down, Alex. She got attacked by an alien. Maggie came to the DEO to give you a present for your anniversary but you were already gone with Kara. She wanted to wait for you, so I asked her to check on the alien. She stayed away for awhile, so I went to the cage. I saw her lying in her own blood, I took care of her, and now she's doing okay. She needs a lot of rest, can you take care of that?"

"Can I see her?"

"Yes, be careful. She's still asleep. She should wake up soon."

"Okay. Thank you, J'onn."

I went into Maggie's room, took a seat and held her hand.

"Hey, babe. It's me, you scared me like hell. Everyone is here, Kara, J'onn, Winn, Mon-el and James. We're waiting for you to wake up. Can you do that for me? Just open your eyes."

"Of course." she mumbled.

"Hey, Saywer. Welcome back."

"Have I missed something?" she whispered.

"Well, you got attacked by an alien. And no, as an answer to your question, you haven't missed anything. Except that your girlfriend almost lost it when she heard that the love of her life was wounded."

"I wanted to stop by to give you your present for our anniversary. I know it's a little early to give it because our anniversary is next week, but I couldn't wait." Maggie said.

"Okay, but now you need rest. You'll be on bed duty for a week or so... until your wound is healed. Understood?"

"Yes, Agent Danvers." she said, while I pulled her into a kiss.

1 week later

Maggie's pov

Today was the day that I went back to work. Alex wanted to make sure that I was fine. She cares so much about me, that's one of the reasons why I love her. I came home late because I had to catch up with everything. I opened the door and heard music playing. I immediately recognized the song, it was Thinking out loud, our song. Candles were everywhere in the appartment.

"Alex, are you home?"

"Hey, babe."

"What's all of this?"

"This is for our anniversary and also for something else."

"What are you talking about?"

"When I was younger, I never felt normal. I thought that my sister was the reason but I was wrong. The problem was that I was gay. And then, you came into my life. You are the person who helped me to find the real me. You are the reason why I'm so happy and I am so thankful that you chose me to be your partner. I want to be the one who calls you my wife, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And I hope you want that too. Will you marry me, Maggie Sawyer?"

And she got down on her knee, took a little box out of her pocket and opened it.

"Will you?" she asked me with a smile.

"I-I'm sorry, but I can't." and I left the appartment.
