My breathing showed up white in the crisp fall air. V pulled me along the path until we got to our favorite water hole. It was deep but not too deep. I smiled and stood there looking at the water before something orange caught my eye. I gasped and looked at V. "Hey Jenny. I'm down here with a serious question... Will you marry me?" V asked kneeling in a little ice water that overflowed onto the rocks. I giggled and nodded, "YES!" He stood up and wrapped me into a hug. "Taken any longer and I think my knee would've froze." He chuckled, and I shook my head, "I would've taken care of you." I laughed as he rose his eyebrows. "Oh really? I'm pretty sure I'd be the only one who could take care of anyone." He smirked and I shuddered thinking about the office before hitting his arm.

"Babe?" I asked looking at Alexandra who was sitting on the floor with DiNozzo and Ziva. "Yeh?" She asked looking up. My heart sped up and I smiled, "Let's go for a walk. Christmas is the most beautiful time of the year." She shrugged and extended her small hands out before giggling. I rolled my eyes, but helped her up anyway. "You're so lazy." I grinned and picked her up after she put her coat on. We walked through the lighted park a little ways before I got  on one knee. "Will you marry me Alexandra? You're my whole world and I need you." She nodded as tears raced down her cheeks. I picked her up and slung her in a circle before just hugging her.
