I had it all set up with Gray that after Avah left for work that he was going to take me down to the jewelry store.
I made it out to the porch on my cane and sit in the rocker waiting on Gray.
"You ready?" He said walking up.
"I've never been more ready Gray. Let's go get my girl a ring." I smiled.
"So what brought this on? the baby or Courtney or what?" He asked.
"Not one thing I mean it's just her. She loves me and Violet. She shows us what real love is and I don't want to be without her." I said.
"Sounds good enough for me Levi. I was just making sure." He smiled as we pulled up at the jewelry shop.
Gray helped me out and we walked in. This is where Gray got Remi's ring. An older man smiles at us and Gray tells him what we are looking for.
He takes us over to a case and I stare down at the rings and look over each one as he talks but none stand out. "Wait there is another case over here that's a little more expensive." He said.
When I walked over and looked down I saw it immediately. "That one," I said.
He smiled picked it up and handed it to me. "This is it, Gray." I smiled.
"That sure is a beauty." He laughed.
"I'll get that ready for you, sir."
"Thank you!" I said turning to Gray.
"Levi holy shit that's expensive," Gray said.
"I know but she's worth it to me Gray." I smile.
"Will you help me set up something romantic? Put some chairs on the beach? Maybe some Remi cookies with sparkling cider?" I said.
"When you want to do it?" he asked.
"Tonight." I smile.
"Shit Levi." He laughs.
The man comes back with the ring in a blue box and puts it in a bag. I pay and we walk out.
"Let's go-to cookie grounds and ask Remi," Gray said.
"Alright, I'm down for a cookie." I grin.
We make it to cookie grounds and get out and go inside and sit at a table until Remi walks out smiling. "I want to see the ring!" She squeals.
I pull it out and show her and she gasps. "Oh my gosh! Levi she's going to love it." Remi smiles.
"I hope so. Will you help me?" I ask.
"So I have cookies and slushies and I can bring them when your ready or get Hunter too." She smiled.
"Slushies are better than cider anyways. Her fav is cherry and she loves the strawberry cookies." I said.
"I got you covered Levi." She said as Joy brought me a plate of cookies to eat.
Gray gets me back home and I sit at the kitchen island and stare at the ring.
I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to say. I manage to go into the bedroom and put on some jeans and a nice blue v neck shirt. I had to put on flip flops because I can't get my shoes on.Gray walked in saw my shoes and said no. He got me socks and shoes and helped me put them on.
"I'm nervous Gray! I need to tell Violet what I'm doing. Send her down to the beach ok?" I said.
"You got it. Let's get out there." He said helping me down the steps.
Once in the rocker, I told Violet what I was doing and she was excited. She decided to be my lookout and lead Avah to me and then go to Gray's house.
Ten mins later Hunter showed up with the food and drinks and then we heard Avah's car. Violet went to go get her and bring her to me.
When I saw her I begin smiling. "What's all this?" She asked.
"Just a little treat for you and me." I smiled. Violet led her over to a chair and then run to Gray's.
"So you got me a cherry slush and my favorite cookies?" She smiled.
"I did and why not sit out here and enjoy this nice warm breeze. I would have had a blanket in the sand but I can't get down." I laughed
"This is nice Levi." She smiled over at me. I held my hand out pulling her to her feet.
"I want you to sit on my lap," I said.
"I don't want to hurt you, Levi." She said.
"I will be fine just come on but sit easy." I laugh.
She sits on my lap gently and I wrap my arms around her and kiss her neck. "I know this is unconventional but I didn't have any other way and Gray and Remi helped me what they could," I said.
"This is lovely Levi." She turned to smile at me and I had the ring box open.
She covers her mouth. "Oh my gosh, Levi!"
"Avah Elizabeth Jax will you do me the honor of being my wife and Violet's mother?" I asked with my hand shaking.
She bites her lip and smiled. "Of course I'll marry you Levi and I would love nothing more than to be Violet's mother." She said turning gently to kiss me.
I slide the ring on her finger and hold my hand up in the air and Violet comes running. "Did you say yes?"
"Of course I did! I love both of you and sticky bun." She said.
Remi and Gray and the kids come running down as well smiling. "That's one beautiful rock Avah," Remi said.
"Thank you! I'm still in shock." She said looking at me. I lean up and kiss her again.
"Now it's time to start planning a wedding!" Violet said.
"Oh wow, you want us to get married soon?" I ask.
"Of course daddy! I want you to get married tomorrow. Then Avah will have our last name along with sticky bun." She said.
"Well, I guess that's sorted." Avah laughs.
