She's Your Giver

It's Time

Six months after his third anniversary with Tina, Newt found something in his dresser.

He had buried it under his clothes months & months ago.

Gently, he picked up the small velvet box & opened it.

The ring glinted brightly.

Newt paused for a moment, deep in thought.

It was time.

The next day, while Tina was at work, Newt went to the bakery.

It was closed, but Queenie was still at the counter.

Almost as soon as he entered, Queenie had flung her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly.

"You're doing it!!! Newt, I can't believe it!!"

"That's what I came here for. I would like to ask for your blessing," Newt smiled.

"Newt, lemme tell you something," Queenie beckoned for him to lean down so she could whisper in his ear.

"YOU'VE HAD MY BLESSING FOR 2 YEARS ALREADY!!!!!"

Newt laughed.

There was a crash from upstairs.

"NEWT!!!!!" Alexa screamed, racing down the stairs.

"Yes?" Newt tried not to smile at the frantic girl.

"I'm so happy for you!! I always knew you were going to marry her. As soon as I met you, I just knew it!!"

Alexa quietened down & closed her eyes.

"What is she-" Newt was cut off by Queenie.

"Shhhhhhhh."

Alexa's eyes opened her eyes & a wide smile crossed her face.

"Oh my god, you're soooooo in love!!!"

"What's going on?" Jacob emerged from the kitchen.

"Newt's gonna propose to Tina!!" Alexa & Queenie screamed.

"Really?!" Jacob's sunny smile filled the room.

"Yes," Newt blushed.

"That's amazing!!"

"Do you know how you're going to do it?" Queenie chirped.

"Yes," Newt nodded. "I just hope she says yes."

"I'm certain she will," Alexa patted his arm.

The three of them chatted for a while before Newt had to leave.

"Hey, Tina?"

"Hmm?" She looked up from her book.

"Let's go to London."

"Yes! We haven't been in ages!"

"Good, I'll buy the tickets tomorrow." 

Newt smiled as he watched Tina get up excitedly, kiss him on the cheek & hurry to her room to pack.

Newt followed her into her room.

Tina was picking out clothes to bring when she noticed Newt leaning in the doorway looking at her with a small smile on his face.
