"all she did was squeal, cry, and nod." michael explains to Lauren's mother.

"promise you won't tell lauren yet?" she asks, grabbing michael's hand and squeezing it. she's out with the girls. michael was with the boys until they had to go plan his bachelor party in advance.

"i promise. now i have to go to adelaide and break the news to my parents." he smiles. she waves goodbye, michael waving back.

he gets out of the hospital, calling his brother. she answers moments later, "where's mom?" he asks.

"at the hospital with pete. there's something up with the baby or something." he huffs. "why?"

"im engaged."

nick must've choked on whatever he was eating or drinking. he coughs a few times. "dude, you're fucking with me. you're michael."

"thanks for the support." michael rolls his eyes. "i need to break the news."

"they should be on their way back."

"okay. im on my way."

"no, im here to announce something and im leaving."

"it's a simple hug." pete spoke.

"im engaged. im getting married next year." he explains, showing his mother the ring on his finger from lauren's step-father.

"i don't approve." she spoke simply, michael laughing.

"i don't approve of this baby, but you're doing it anyways. im getting married whether you're there or not." michael explains. "nick you coming?"

"yeah. don't we have to visit your dad?" he asks, grabbing his jacket.

"daryl? no, you-"

"i can if i want." he cuts off his mother, leaving out. the two boys get into the car. the drive there wasn't long, but when they arrived, his father was outside playing football with a boy.

nick stays in the car. "mikey! meet my girlfriend's son, jake."

"okay. im going to make this simple. im engaged, and mom doesn't agree. if you don't, i don't car-"

"i give you my blessing! that's amazing, michael." he grins, patting his back, then a hug. michael grins, chuckling.

"i've gotta go, dad." michael grins. "bye jake!"

"bye michael!"

"love you mikey, don't fuck it up." daryl chuckles.

"love you too, dad."
