KAITLYN POV
****FOUR YEARS LATER****
I anxiously woke up and immediatly got dressed. It was the week of Erin's eighteenth birthday and I had a lot to do before she came home today. I had her present ready, though she won't be getting it for another three days, I thought it be fun if I sat it out and had it taunt her until she could open it. I am a devious person. Besides, there's another part to her present. I had something very exciting to tell her.
Liam was still laying in bed, but I didn't give a shit. It was nine o'clock in the morning and Erin's flight comes in at three o'clock. There is way too much to do and so little time. I got dressed, and was noisy on purpose to see if I could subtly wake up Liam. It had worked but he was a bit grumpy about it.
"Babe, what on earth are you doing," Liam asked.
"I need to get ready. There's a lot to do. Like clean the house, toilets and all," I said hinting. He never seemed to clean the toilets when he cleaned the bathrooms. "I need to make sure the yard looks nice, and replace the chemicals in the hot tub. Who knows how long that will take. And I need to get go out and get the things for dinner. Not to mention picking Erin up from the airport."
"Honey, her flight isn't in until three. Finish getting dressed and come back to bed with me."
"No, Liam. I have shit to do. And I could use your help."
"Please, Kaitlyn. Just for an hour? Come cuddle," he said holding out his arms for me. Oh this lazy bum.
"Fine," I gave in. "But only an hour. You try to pull a fast one on me and I'm making you hose off the deck chairs by yourself."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the hour had passed, Liam reluctantly let me up. I proceeded to the phone. I was about to call my parents. I've done this every day since I got emancipated. After two years of not getting a call back, I toned it down to once a week. I'd call both of them at work and their secretaries would put me on hold for two minutes, then tell me they were unavailable. And I am sure that they have gotten caller ID because whenever I call one of them at home, it goes to voicemail after one ring. It upset me. I love them, despite everything I have been through with them. And even when my mother resulted in using violence towards me, I still tried to find ways to connect with her. But it looks like she no longer wants anything to do with me.
I held my cellphone in my hand, my thumb hovering over my mother's work number. Liam, having slipped on a pair of shorts and a white T-shirt, stood behind me. He put his hand over the phone, locking it, and taking it away from me.
"You need to stop calling them."
"But what if something happened to them?"
"Then you would hear it from someone else. Babe, its been four years. Its clear that they are not over this. And if it has been this long, then they probably never will be."
"You're right. I just feel like I fucked everything up."
"You didn't. It was your parents, and then your mom proved that by throwing you to the ground in front of the court house." I shuttered at his comment. The images replayed in my head. Liam massaged my arms, "Everything will be okay. If they don't want anything to do with their daughters, then that there fault. Erin still has you, and you have me."
"Thank you, Liam."
"I guess now would be a good time to ask you something."
"Ask me what?"
He walked over to the dresser, opened his underwear drawer and pulled out a small blue, velvet box. My heart stopped, and my hand went over my mouth. Was he about to...
"I know I am not dressed up, but I couldn't wait any longer." He got down on one knee, opened the box and said, "Kaitlyn Sawyer, would you do me honor of becoming my wife?"
Tears began to form as I said, "Yes, Liam. Oh my god, yes!" He slipped the ring on my left ring finger, then kissed me passionately. I felt the world around us disappear. "I guess we have two things to tell Erin now," I said when we pulled away.
"I guess we do," he smiled and put his hand on my stomach.
"C'mon. Lets get cleaning."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We had picked Erin up from the airport. We were back home, and Erin was settling in to her room. She hadn't noticed the giant rock on my finger yet. Liam really did pick out an extravagant ring.
Erin came strolling down about an hour after she got to her room. She came and sat in between me and Liam. "Have you had any luck contacting Mom or Dad?" Liam began rubbing her back to comfort her when I told her the bad knews.
"No," I told her looking into my lap. "I mean, after four years, I should just give up hope, but I'm still hoping that they at least have the decency to call you on your eighteenth birthday, even though they didn't for any of the others." I played with the ring on my finger.
"Yeah me too-" Erin stopped mid sentence and looked down at my hand, "What the hell is that?" She said, jumping up excited.
I scooted next to Liam and said, "We are engaged. Liam asked me this morning."
"Oh my god," was all she could say, looking at us in awe.
"It wasn't as romantic as I'd hoped," Liam started, "But I couldn't wait any longer."
"It was perfect."
"Wow," Erin said. "Congrats. OMG! Do I get to be the maid of honor?"
"Yes. You and Anna."
"Oh yayyyy!" she shouted with joy.
"Should we tell her the other news?" Liam asked me.
"What other news," Erin said confused.
I stood up, walked over to her and said, "You are going to be an Auntie."
"WHAT?!"
"I'm pregnant!"
"Double Oh my god! This is amazing! I am so happy for you!" She gave me a hug. "Have you picked out names yet?"
"We've pondered," I said laughing. "If its a girl, Rebecca Anna. And if its a boy Brian Taylor. After Liam's father."
"Cangrats, you two. This is the best day ever! Wait, what is that?" she asked pointing to the big box sitting in the corner of the living room.
"Your present. But you can't open it until your birthday!"
"Then why is it out and not hidden?"
"She wanted to torture you with it," Liam said.
"It is not torture," I smacked his arm. "Its so she wants it more. It will be way more exciting when she opens it."
"You are evil, Kaitlyn."
"I am not. Now come on and help us with dinner. We are making your favorite. And then we can all watch a movie. Don't worry. Liam won't be picking. Remember what happened last time?"
"Hey it was not that bad," he said in defence.
"Liam, both us were scared shitless."
"But I was there to protect you..."
"Yes you were. Now come on! I'm starving. I'm eating for two now, remember?" I said dragging them in to the kitchen.
THE END
