"...with your daughter's approval, our daughter's approval. I'd like to ask you Emily Prentiss..." he said as he got down on one knee.

"...Will you marry me?" He asked with the opened box in hands.

The entire room went silent. Everyone waited anxiously for the answer.

Emily was speechless for a while.
She took a deep breath and in that moment the world seemed to have stopped. She also couldn't imagine her life without him there. She had never felt like that, she had never thought of marrying someone or made plans of a long future with someone but her special someone was right there and there was only one thing to say.

"Yes" Emily smiled. "Yes" she laughed.

Everyone cheered. Penelope and Hilary were crying and everyone in that room was smiling.

Derek got up and hugged Emily. He placed the ring on Her finger and kissed her lips. Then he let go and picked Bella up and hugged Emily again. Isabella had so many tears streaming down her face, she was so happy she didn't even care to wipe them.

"You approve?" Emily asked her.

"A thousand percent yes!" Bella said and everyone laughed. Derek put her down and kissed Emily again.

Suddenly the pizza arrived.

"The food is here" Chloe told her mom and everyone laughed. JJ and Will went to the door.

"you're getting married!" Bella said and hugged her mother. Everyone laughed.

"Congrats" Rossi told Derek as Penelope ran and hugged Emily.

"Finally a wedding!!" Penelope cheered and everyone laughed. Everyone was so happy.
Happy that Chloe was home safe and happy the couple had engaged. Isabella was all smiles the entire night. They watched movies and ate pizza and candy. Everyone had a great time. Around 11, people started to leave. Hilary felt a little bad about staying there since they had just got engaged so she asked Derek if he was sure about it. He had already explained the situation to Emily and both insisted that she stayed. So at around midnight Hilary went upstairs with her girls so they could get ready for bed and left Derek, Emily and Bella alone in the living room.

"Hey! come here" Emily said and Bella got up from the floor and sat on her mother's lap. "Are you okay?" Emily asked.

Bella nodded.

"Still a little scared about what happened to Chloe?" Derek asked.

"Yeah... I guess." Bella said. "But I'm okay. I'll be okay. And I'm really happy you'll get married" she said and suddenly her eyes filled with tears.

"Why the tears baby?" Emily asked as Bella hid on her.

"I don't know, I'm just happy" Bella cried.

"So these are happy tears?" Derek asked.

"Yeah" Bella said.

"Sit up" Emily said and Bella did as told. "We love you" Emily said and wiped Bella's face.

"And you know what else I love?" Derek asked.

"What?" Bella said.

"That amazing chocolate ice cream that is on the fridge." He said with a smile and asked "who's with me?"

"I am" Bella smiled. He picked her up from Emily's lap.

"Why not?" Emily smiled and they went to the kitchen. Derek placed Bella down and they sat to eat together, just the three of them.

"Happy proposal day... or whatever you call this" Bella said holding her bowl of ice cream up so they could make toast.

Derek and Emily laughed and said in unison "happy proposal day" and they clicked their bowls. Then Derek kissed Emily and Bella just watched with a smile. They ate and then went to get ready for bed. Emily talked to Hilary and they decided that Hilary and Chloe would stay in the guest bedroom and Millie would stay with Bella. So everyone got ready and went to bed. Millie fell asleep really quick so Emily tucked Bella in and Hilary kissed Millie goodnight.

"Anything we're right next door" Emily told Bella who nodded. "I love you" Emily said and kissed her forehead.

"I love you too" Bella said and the grownups went out of the room.

"If you need anything feel free to knock and get me" Emily told Hilary.

"Thank you... for everything" Hilary said and Emily hugged her.

"Go enjoy your girl" Emily smiled and they headed to bed.

Prentiss met Derek in their bedroom.
"Everything okay?" He asked.

"More than okay" Emily smiled and kissed him. They laid down on the bed and Emily cuddled up to Morgan.
"I love you" she said.

"I love you too, future Mrs. Morgan" Derek said and Emily laughed. They kissed again and soon decided to sleep.
It sure had been a long day.

The next morning they had the day off so the kids missed school and had a lazy day at the house. In the afternoon, Hilary offered to watch Bella so Derek and Emily could go out alone to celebrate their engagement so around 7, they went out for dinner and after that Derek surprised Emily with a stay in a fancy hotel. They had an absolutely amazing night.

.

The next morning was a Wednesday and sadly they had to go back to work. Hilary called them around 7:30 in the morning to ask if it was okay for Bella to miss school again. She explained that Chloe was still shaken up and that she had talked to Bella almost all night about it so they didn't really sleep well. Of course Emily agreed and the kids missed school again. They watched movies and talked and Bella was glad Chloe trusted her but she felt more scared when Chloe talked about what happened. Even though she didn't like it, she decided to be brave and just be there for her friend. So whenever Chloe wanted to talk Bella was there to listen.

Emily and Derek got home around 6 and brought Mexican food for everyone. Bella asked about the dinner they had the day before and told them she had a lot of fun at home. Later at night everyone got ready for bed. Before tucking Bella in, Derek asked if she could stop by his room for a little while. So she followed him there. Emily signed and Bella went to her lap.

"Bella, since I gave a ring to your mom, I felt like it was fitting that you got something special too" Derek said and handed her a box.

Bella opened it and found a gold necklace inside. It had a moon, a heart, and a star, just like her beloved bracelet.
The day before, during dinner, Derek told Emily that he wanted to get Bella something special like the bracelet and when Emily told him what it meant he couldn't think of anything more perfect to give to the girl.

"You know what they mean, right?" Derek asked and Isabella nodded with tears in her eyes. "And that's from me to you" Derek said.

"Thank you" Bella said and started crying.
She knew exactly what they meant and she couldn't hold her tears. Just like her bracelet, that she never took off since her mom gave her, she knew the moon meant that he would always be there even if she couldn't see him all the time, the star meant she was his little star and the heart meant that he would love her no matter what.

Derek picked her up and she cried into his neck.
"Do you like it?" He asked.

"Yes I love it, dad" Bella cried and Morgan held her tight.

"Why don't you stay here with us tonight, huh?" Emily asked.

"Can I?" Bella asked and looked at Morgan.

"Of course you can" he smiled and put her down next to Emily. Emily hugged the girl tight as Derek went out to let Hilary know.
Later He walked back in the room to find Bella cuddling up to her mom as Emily wrapped one arm tight around her. Derek put the box on the nightstand and then laid down and threw his arm over both of them.

"I love you... both" Bella said.

"We love you too" they told her.

"Always" Emily said.

"I can't believe my mom and my dad are getting married! Jeremy is going to be so happy for me" Bella said and Emily smiled. She knew her daughter's half brother would be beyond excited that there was a wedding happening soon.

Emily hugged her tight and said goodnight.

"Goodnight" Bella said and hid her face on her mother's stomach.

"Goodnight, my girls" Derek said and Emily and Bella laughed.
