Let's begin! ~Newsies Fanfic

"I do."

Ben and I walked downstairs, still in our pyjamas. We find a lot more presents under the tree and see almost everyone sitting at the breakfast table.

Jeremy, Kara, Scott, Andrew, Ben F. Tommy and Mike. I looked behind me at Ben. Who was still half asleep. His hair was a mess as he was rubbing in his eyes, yawning before sitting down on the table. I chuckle, sitting down in between him and Jeremy.

"What did I hear!" Kara says as we all start eating. "Did Ben really proposed?" She squeals. I nod happily, showing her the ring. "Oh my gosh! It's beautiful." I look over at Ben who was sipping from his coffee.

"You're not gonna get anything out of him before 11 AM." I say with a laugh. Ben looks at me in confusion which made the whole table laugh even more.

"You do have a video of the proposal, right?" Andrew asks. "Nick filmed it, I'll ask if he sent it to me." I say with a smile. 2 hours later we're all sitting around the christmas tree with a cup of coffee. I sat on the ground with Ben, under a blanket and against the coutch.

Everyone was cuddled up against each other, it was the best christmas ever. "Hey Andrew, Nick send me the video." I say. My phone goes around the group before it ends back at me.

"You were stressing out so badly." Kara says with a laugh. "What do you think! He decided to go on one knee! I'm 17! I can't smell that it is only a promise ring."

"Only?" Ben asks, one eyebrow raised. "No- I didn't mean it like that! I would love to marry you! But 17 is just so early! I was just saying tha-" I stamble as Ben interrupts me with a kiss. "I was messing with ya." He says.

I feel my cheeks turning red when I notice everyone starring at us. "Right, shall we start with the presents?" I mumble, hiding my face in Ben's shoulder.

"When do you wanna get married?" Ben asks as we lie in bed that evening. I think about it for a moment, snuggling against Ben as we both look at the ring.

"When I'm 21." I say, matter of factly. "21?" He asks, facing me. "That's pretty early." I smile at him. "I know, but it just feels right. You'll be 24 by then." I say.

"21 it is." He says with a laugh. It stays silent for a moment before Ben speaks up again. "You know?" He says. "Hm?" I respond, still starring at the ceiling.

"Lizzy Cook, I like that." I laugh shoving him to the side a little bit. "You're such a dork." I say with a laugh. Again it stays silent for a little bit, but this time I speak up.

"Did you ever think about the future? Us growing old together, getting children?" I ask. "Yeah, It was the only thing I thought about today."

I frown. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Us sitting around the christmas tree. A little boy and girl happily grabbing their presents."

"A boy and a girl huh?" I say with a laugh. "Hmhm, an older boy, and a younger girl." He respond. When I look over at him I see him staring at wall, he really dreams of this.

I smile softly to myself. "That sounds great." I say with a smile.

*5 years later*
"Benjamin Tyler Cook, do you take Lizzy Jordan as your wife." Ben smiles at me and I saw a tear rolling down his cheek. "I do." I feel tears rolling down my own cheeks and let out a small laugh.

"And Lizzy Jordan, do you take Benjamin Tyler Cook as your husband."

"Nope." I say. The whole audience becomes silent and I begin to laugh. "Ofcourse I do." I say with a chuckle. Ben sighs in relief and I stuck out my tongue towards him.

"You may kiss now." Ben dips me and pushes his lips against mine. I laugh as everyone starts cheering and whistling.

That evening at the party Jeremy comes walking towards me. "May I have this dance?" He asks. I smile, looking over at Ben and finding him with his family. "Ofcourse." I say with a smile.

We walk onto the dance floor as a slower song comes on. "I can't believe it's already 6 years ago I met you. You were just this little, nervous girl. Always hiding in the shadows. And look at you now, already grown up and married."

"Stop it or I'm gonna cry." I say with a laugh, but I already feel a tear falling down my cheek. Jeremy laughs, spinning me around.

"Too late." He says. "May I steal her from you." Jeremy and I turn around to see Ben. "Ofcourse." Jeremy says before handing me to Ben.

"I can't believe I married an idiot." Ben says with a smirk. "Oh? I didn't know you married Josh." Ben laughs and as we turn around we see Sky and Josh talking at the buffet.

"There have to be more bacon Sky!" We hear Josh yell. "You already have a plate full, you don't need more bacon!" Sky says with a laugh. "Don't you underestimate my power!" Josh yells back.

I chuckle, turning back towards Ben. "Yeah, he is an idiot." Ben says with a laugh. "Lizzy Cook." Ben suddenly says. I look up at him and frown. "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Nothing, I just want to call you Cook every minute of the day." He says with a grin. "Okay I think you're the idiot here." I respond, punching him in the arm.

"I know, but I'm your idiot." I smile, laying my head on his shoulder. "I know." Ben smiles back before kissing me softly.
