"Brooks, hey, wake up."

Bailey touches my shoulder, and I open my eyes.

I am still laying on the couch, and Beatrice is in Bailey's arms.

"RaeAnne and Austin are at the door. They wanted to come over and see Bea."

I nod, and stand up.

Bailey hands me the baby, and she opens the door.

RaeAnne runs over to Beatrice, and takes her from me.

"She's beautiful!" She says.

Austin holds her next, and he smiles down at her.

I freeze.

"Austin you can't tell anyone about this. You either, Rae. It's nobody else's business besides us. When we get everything signed and she is officially ours, than you can tell everyone." I say.

They nod, and Austin and I head off for football practice.

Bailey and RaeAnne stay at the apartment, and talk about Beatrice.

When I sit down in the truck with Austin, I break the news.

"I'm going to ask Bailey to marry me."
