Butterflies - a Ricky Wilson fanfiction

Chapter 20: The Finals

Emily's POV

As I sat in my dressing room getting ready for the finals, at the corner of my eye I could see Ricky standing in the doorway. I looked down and smiled, seeing Ricky alone made me happy. The stylist and make up artist walked out of the room when they were finished and Ricky walked in. I was still sitting down and he pulled up a chair and sat beside me. "I just had to see you one last time before the show." I smiled and quickly kissed him.

He squeezed my hand "how's my two favourite people ever?" He asked, putting his hand on my stomach. You wouldn't tell that I was pregnant by looking at me. I could still sing but that wouldn't last much longer. "We're good thank you." I said, trying to control my nerves. Worrying wasn't going to do me or the growing baby in my stomach any good. Ricky had to go and take his place in his red chair.

I went on stage and I stood there while the judges gave their feed back. I felt sick, I hadn't been sick all day and knew it had to be when the show was going on. I rushed backstage and got to the toilet just in time. This sucks, I knew as the baby grew I wouldn't have to put up with this as much but right now it makes me feel like shit. Ricky knelt beside me rubbing my back and holding my hair back while I was sick.

I sat on the floor crying, it was already getting to me, it was going to be a long nine months. He held me in his arms while I sobbed into his chest. He didn't say anything in fear of making me worse. I sat up straight and took a deep breath, I had to have my make up redone quickly in the break. "Sorry Ricky" I said to quietly.

"You have nothing to apologise for, you are going to get emotional, it's fine." That made me feel better.

I got shooed onto stage for the results of who won.

Ricky's POV

There was a tense silence around the studio. It felt like forever before Emma said who one. "The winner of the Voice is....."

"Emily Anderson." Emily froze. I couldn't feel happier for her, she was overcome by the whole thing. I rushed up to join her on stage. I hugged her "well done baby, you deserve it." I whispered in her ear.

I was shaking. There was something I needed to do before the show was over. My chance was coming up and if I didn't take it, it was game over.

"Ricky, you must be so proud if her." Marvin said turning to me. "I'am. She's so talented."

Marvin knew about what I wanted to do and he promised to help me out with it. "Is there anything you want to say to each other?" Marvin asked. This is my chance.

"Emily. When I first saw you I knew that you were special. Despite everything I've out you through, you still find a way to forgive me and for that I'm eternally grateful. I love you Emily Louise Anderson. Will you marry me?" I was on one knee and a deadly silence fell I the studio while we all await Emily's answer.

Tears started streaming from her face. "Yes. I will marry you." She said. I felt a wave of relief and happiness rush over me. I put the ring on her finger and picked her up as the audience cheered. This was the best day of my life.
