Nikki and Jack both are currently finishing off their Pizza's while looking out over the City of London's skyline, "Beautiful isn't it" Jack smiles as he places his hand on top of Nikki's as she continues to admire the picturesque view.
"Mmm" is all Nikki responds with as she feels so relaxed watching the sun gradually setting over London.
"I love you Nikki" Jack smiles and strokes her hand a little as he watches her, Jack then moves his hand and messes with his pocket. He pulls out the small box from his pocket and holds it tight in his hand before shufflings about and getting to his one knee, "Nikki?" Jack says as he opens up the box and Nikki looks at him. Her heart beats really quick as she witnesses first hand what Jack is doing."No, Jack," She says as she flushes bright red.
"How about it ay? me and you against the world? Our little Hodgson clan? Ever since I met you, it has always been you, it always will be you... you are my entire world Nicola Alexander and I want to share my life with you, I want us to be two old people sat in joining armchair at the sunny view nursing home TV room with you, I want to have as many children as we can together, give them the upbringing we never had. I love you with all my heart Nikki, it's you or no one else... I love you with every beat of my heart, how about it? Nicola Alexander, will you marry me?" Jack smiles.Jack looks at her as Nikki stares into his eyes with her mouth open in complete shock, there is no emotion at all from Nikki apart from the look of shock written across her face, "Erm... Nikki... answer me, my knee is going to sleep" Jack chuckles.
"Wait... what?" Nikki says snapping out of her own little world. "Oh that, sorry" Nikki laughs as she realizes she isn't dreaming the whole situation.
"So?" Jack smiles awkwardly."Oh... erm... yes" She smiles and pushes Jack back and straddles his waist in the middle of the field, she leans down and kisses him, "Of course I will you big idiot" Nikki smiles.
She lets Jack sit up and she continues to straddle his lap.
Jack grabs her left hand and takes the ring out the box and then places it on her finger, "More perfect than I pictured" Jack smiles and kisses her passionately "The future Mrs. Hodgson" Jack mumbles between kisses.Nikki lies next to Jack on the grass and looks up at the sky, she lifts her hand up and admires the ring on her finger and how beautiful it is. "I love it Jack" She smiles admiring the larger diamond surround by smaller diamonds.
"All for you" Jack smiles and he rolls onto his side and admires his fiancee, "So what type of wedding do you want?" Jack asks.
"Woah... it's a bit soon don't you think" Nikki replies as she also roles onto her side and looks at him. "For now I am happy as your Fiancee, you're the father of my daughter, you love me and I love you... that is enough right now. But I would love a small intimate wedding in time" Nikki replies happily and leans forward to kiss him again."What every the lady wishes" Jack smiles.
"Nothing too soon, I'll be huge and ugly and pregnant" Nikki mumbles.
"You won't be any of those things... you're going to look gorgeous" Jack replies as he rolls onto his side and looks up at Nikki placing a kiss on her cheek.Nikki smiles and looks at him and just smiles contently. Before long Jack and Nikki decide to go home as it's dropping cool and getting late. "Come on then let's get you up" Jack smirks as he helps Nikki to her feet.
