The Love that Hasn't show: Time isn't a problem

"Marry Christmas." I said to everyone, we're having party at the hotel that used to belong to Grandpa Alex, but now belong to those yahoos.

I even brought Eli, Mia and Bonnie with me this year. I know, people are surprised to see Bonnie, but I still think that it's important for Mia to spent the Christmas with her parents.

"How are you feeling?" Grandpa Jake showed up.

"Never been better." I chuckled, "I finally found the love of my life, and I'm happy that he also loves me back."

"We were worried," Grammy Sky pulled me into a hug,

"About that, what actually happened for you and Grandpa back in high school?" I asked, curiously

"Well, he was an ass." She chuckle

"Hey! I was not." He short her a look, then turn to me, but not before he asked "Have you ever told people the truth?"

"You almost got me expelled." She exclaim

"That was Gr 10!"

"You got my clothes full of blue dyed.

"That was an accident! Beside, I bought you a set of new clothes."

"Aww, the good old day." Grandpa Alex walks towards us.

"What about your high school days?" I asked him.

"Don't asked him, he spent all of his life trying to get that ass out of trouble." Grammy Lace said, pointed at Jake.

"Hey! I wasn't an ass!"

"Do you want us to list out everything you've done to Sky?"

"Alex?" Jake looked at his best friend

"No, my wife still have a bone to pick with me about the Greyson triplets, I'm not helping you." He give him a look.

"Thanks for the loving support." Grandpa Jake sigh.

I learn one thing from this talk: No matter what happened 40 years ago is probably their stuff to deal with.

"Hey." Eli pull me into a hug, "Do you think was should get some food?"

"Do you even need to ask?" I give him a look.

He chuckled as we went for food.

"I still wants to kill him." Daniel sigh.

"Hey, she's twenty-six," I said, "and he's thirty-four, they're adults."

"You should have let me punch him."

"Nope, not going to happen."

"Just one?"

"No!" I give him a look, "Do you want our daughter to be happy?"

"Fine." He groan.

"Looks like your youngest one have one heck of a journey like yours." Kyle chuckle as we saw Bella taught Mia how to dance, and Eli is just smiling at them.

"I just want her to be happy." I said.

"We all do, Ponytail." Chloe and Arthur said as they walked in, "We all do."

"Do you think she'll say yes?" Faith asked

"No." I said as they all looked at me, "I know she'll say yes."

"Not that I'm not happy about this, but did you stuck your foot down their relationship?" Rose asked

"What do you think?" I whistled

I mean I didn't do anything on purpose, if they're not meant to be, they'll not get together even if I want to.

Then I saw Eli give Mia to Bonnie, and then drag Bella out of the hall.

"Let's do what we did the best." I said to the gang, as I mentioned towards the door.

We sit down on the bench in the lobby, away from others, I wonder what he wants to say.

"I got you Christmas presents, so what do you think about marrying me?" He joked as he passed me a teddy bear.

"You're proposing with one teddy bear?" I give him a look, "Try harder."

"Okay, apparently, one is not enough." He chuckled as he grab another one, and another one.

I'm shocked, it only takes him like one minutes for him to bury me in the mountains of teddy bear.

"Eli." I giggle, "that's way too much. Where am I going to put all of these?"

"It's only the start." He pulled out a keychain, with our, by our, I mean, Mia, Eli and I's picture in the front. When he flip to the back, it has a line of handwriting.

I love you, marry me.

Tears are forming in my eyes.

Lastly, he pulled out a box, with a ring laying inside.

"Ella, I know we only been together for two months, technically four but you spent two in the hospital. I fall in love with you way before that, you make me so happy, and if you say yes, I'll spent the rest of my life, try and make you feel the same way." He smiles, "Now with a little one on the way, Bella Paige Hope, will you marry me?"

"Geez, I don't know, I mean you're not letting me out of this teddy bear trap if I say no, right?"

"Oh for the love of god, say yes you yahoo." Helen shouts and I turn to see everyone standing there.

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Yes." I turned back to Eli and smile, "it'll be my honour."

"I call their wedding planner!" Helen and Ma shouted at the same time.

"I called it first!" They shouted at each other.

"Actually, none of you two will be planning my wedding." I said.

"WHAT?" Ma me a look, "Excuse me, I give birth to you and raise you."

"This is getting good." Paris and Willow are eating popcorn.

"Who's doing it?" Helen give me a look, "Bella Paige, you better come up with a decent answer."

"Eddy is." I said, "Last time we went on bonding, he said that he will do my Wedding."

"AND YOU SERIOUSLY SAY YES? YOU HAVE A MOTHER!"

"AND A SISTER."

"And Eddy is my brother." I said.

All of those two turn to face Eddy, but they can't find him anywhere.

"Oh yeah, Eddy bolted away after Bell told you two  you're not going to be her wedding planner." Josh said to those two. My guess is he went home."

"We have a bone to pick with him." Ma and Helen said as they walked out.

"Are they gone?" Eddy asked as he walked out from the washroom,

"Yeah." I laugh.

"Anyway, welcome to the family." He pulled me into a hug

"You know, Bella Harley does have a nice ring." I chuckle.

"Yep, it does." Eli give me a kiss.
