Too Late (Calum Hood Fanfiction)

Kingdom Come.

AN
HEY YOUNG JEDI'S!
I know you all probably hate me right now for prolonging Ruby's answer but I promise I'll make it up to you now, it's CHRISTMAS break and I'll have all the time I need without studies. YAY! Ok back to the story...

*Flashback*
"My princess, my beloved princess. As I look into your captivating beauty I say to myself 'How did I get so lucky?' Then I remember that you were the Christmas gift I kept on asking Santa for 4 years straight, you're my other half of the Oreo, you're the Jasmin to my Alladin, you're my Mount Everest and my everything. But there is one thing you're not." He said breathless.

He got down on one knee, pulled out a velvet box with a diamond ring sparkling as bright as his eyes and asked

"Will you be my Queen?"

*End of Flashback*

Ruby's P.O.V

Was this a proposal?

Are we ready for this kind of commitment?

Is he doing this just because we have a baby?

Those were the main questions that were dying to come out of my mouth but I wouldn't dare ask the last one, that's just plain stupid.

"I-I-uhhhh." I stuttered. Great that would be the worst thing that I could've said right now.

"Is this a engagement proposal?" I asked. Now I regret asking it, I bet Calum thinks I don't want to be with him.

"Oh no! No it's not like that. This is like a promise ring but it's also like an engagement ring. It's in between, but I'm not asking for your hand in marriage." He said quickly.

"I get that you don't want to be my queen, well who wants to be I'm just plain, boring, sometimes not even funny and especially not enough for you but mo-"

"Just shut up and be my king." I cut him off.

"Huh?" He looks confused for a bit so I just gave him a quick kiss and held out my hand.

He smiled at me, his smile that would easily make the grumpiest person smile and the saddest person want to hug him. It was like he was a failing student finally getting an A+.

He slid the ring on my index finger hugged me like both of our lives depended on it.

"Finally someone who can rule over the kingdom with me." He said as he intertwined our fingers.

"The strands in your eyes
The color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath."

He started to sing I'll Be by Edwin McCain. This was the song that he used to sing to me always before we got to sleep.

"I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest King of your life."

I started to cry when he replaced the lyric fan to King. Then, All of a sudden he placed both on my hands behind his neck and placed his hands on my lower back and we swayed back and forth and back and forth while he was singing.

After the song ended he placed his forehead on mine and whispered

"My Queen."

And I replied

"My King."

Then he gave me probably the longest and most passionate kiss he has ever laid upon my lips.

After the kiss we decided to lay on the sand, and look at the stars. I know, what a cliche moment but at that time it didn't feel cliche at all it felt like that moment was meant for us at that exact time because I knew that he would be the man I would spend my life with until death do us part.

The next day

Calum and I accidentally fell a asleep on the sand and the waking up part was very uncomfortable since there was sand in places where sand shouldn't be, you know what I mean.

"Damn it Calum, we fell asleep! Who took care of June? Did I leave any appliances on? What if I left the stove on? Did I leave the stove on? Shit! I think I left the stove on! Why did I leave the sto-"

Calum cut me off by kissing me, which for some reason that's what we always do when one of us talks to much, aww maybe kissing will be our forever, Goodluck to us and chapped lips then.

"You're worrying too much my queen, you need to take a chill pill." He says in an accent. Oh god if only I can rein-act it.

"Ok but can we go back now?" I ask and he just nods and pulls me away from the beach and onto the pier.

"I truck should be here somewhere." Calum says helplessly looking around the parking lot which shouldn't be so full since it's just- oh it's already 10 am, well then we overslept.

"Ah! There it is." He exclaims then drags me to the truck.

"Wait isn't this the truck the boys brought me here in?" I asked.

"Yah, this was the only car available so..." He trails off because when we opened the truck door, there lie three boys sprawled across the truck and I literally mean sprawled across. Like a hurricane just passed through them.

BEEEEEP
BEEEEEP
BEEEEEP
BEEEEEP

I instantly covered my ears and looked to the left to see Calum's hand continually pressing the horn to wake them up.

"Could've warned me first, my ears are ringing." I say in a serious/laughing manner.

"'My beauty sleep is ruined" Luke said.

"5 more minutes mum." Ashton said.

"Someone open the door." Michael said.

"Awww aren't the three little piggys just a bundle of joy." I say in a cute and sarcastic tone.

Michael flips me off and Calum slaps his hand away.

"Don't flip off my queen." He says 'threateningly', it's ok, he tried to sound tough.

"I can flip off anyone I want and that includes yo-" "Your queen? She said yes?" Michael cuts himself off.

"Yup, it's official." I say as I hold out my hand with the ring.

"Awww." The three of them say together as they gush over the ring.

"Alright three Maria's, time to go home and see if I left the stove on! Hurry!" I suddenly rush and end up driving the car myself.

After a long car ride and some side comments about my driving by the three Maria's we finally came home and as I walked down the stone path towards our house constant bickering followed me everywhere.

"Are we dead?" Ashton said.
"Is this the afterlife? Why are we sweating?" Luke said.
"Is this what the walking dead feels like?" Michael said.

"Oh shut up, I haven't driven since I had June." I said back.

As me and Calum proceeded inside the house we split into two, Calum went to June and I went to check on the stove.

After checking out the stove I skipped upstairs to June's bedroom, yes I literally skipped.

"How's the bebe?" I asked Calum emphasizing the word 'bebe'.

"I believe she's sleeping, look how adorable she is." He says as he gently strokes her face.

"Look how beautiful our princess is my King." I day leaning my head in his shoulder.

"All because of you my Queen, your beauty shines on her." He says as we look deeply into each other's eyes.

"Damn this is super cheesy. But we are one Royal Family." I say and kissed my King inside my Kingdom.
