Skyler's Pov

His hand felt warm and comfortable, as it always had. We were walking in the forest, and since it was summer, it was very green. The light had manage to make its way in the forest, resting on us.

I had decided to take Grayson out on a trip, but he didn't know where. He had brought his camera with us, and were going to vlog the whole day. We also decided to bring little Sammy with us, even though he's not that little anymore. Gray seemed to appreciate this surprise. I doubt anyone has ever done something like this for him.

We had ended up somewhere outside New York, on the country side. Not many lived there, but since I grew up in NY, I knew much about this place. I knew exactly where we were going, and I was super excited. My only wish was that Grayson would love it as much as I do.

The forest was still very green, but the ground was starting to change. Instead of dirt, it was slowly changing to stones. Grayson talked to the camera and smiled at me, as if he had figured out where we were going.

(a/n: I know nothing about NY, just read and don't overthink the nature!)

"Why won't you tell me where we're going?" Grayson asked curiously.

Instead of answer, I smirked and kissed him.

"Sam, come here!" I smiled while hugging my baby. I started jogging beside him and looked at my boyfriend. He got the sign and jogged beside us. Quickly, we started running with Sam between us. We ran to the end of the forest, and I've never seen this family happier.

The forest ended, and so did our running. Instead we walked on the stones. The three of us looked up, and saw a big cliff. Then we looked forward, and Grayson's jaw dropped. This was the destination.

I don't think he had expected this. In front of us, a mini jungle appeared. In the middle, it was a big pretty lake. Sammy ran down to the water to play in it. The trees were even greener, and it was a big beautiful waterfall. We walked over to the waterfall, and discovered a big cave behind it.

Amazed, we walked over to our dog. I took of my clothes, exposing myself in front of Grayson. He smiled and gave me my bikini. I smiled back at him, while he changed into his swimming wear. Then we walked in to the water. It was perfect warmth, not even a bit cold. The lake was not very deep, but I walked until the water touched my shoulders. Gray followed me in the water with his camera.

I smiled at him, "Do you like it?"

He smiled, put his hands on my back and dragged me near him, "I don't like it. I love it!"

We kissed passionately, until I heard our Sam bark. I laughed, and Gray let go of me. We walked up to him and I sat down with him in the water. Grayson started to play with him, while I recorded.

I recorded myself for a short while too, "I don't think I've seen G that happy, ever. It makes me happy and warm. To know that I have the ability to make him this happy, even after all the things we've been through. Gosh, I love him so much. Go skayson!"

The camera turned to the rest of my family, while I stood up.

"Grayson?" I called.

He looked up at me while patting Sammy, "Yeah?"

I smiled happily, "I wanna go to that cave behind the waterfall, you coming?"

He nodded and walked towards me, grabbed my hand and walked with me and Sam to the cave. I held his camera and he held a bag he had brought with us. I guess he had packed some food if we were going to be hungry.

The cave was pretty big, and charming in its way. Outside it was a lots of flowers, Sammy immediately started smelling them. I smiled at him, and kept walking into the cave with my boyfriend.

It was basically just stone, but it was paintings on the walls. I let go of Grayson's hand and dragged my hand around the paintings. He walked to the other side of the cave and recorded. The paintings looked like different animals, and some people. They were also a sky painted. I was beyond amazed. Then I felt something soft in my neck, I smiled. I turned around and faced him. The love of my life. We kissed, it started of soft, but quickly turned to something more fierce.

Since we were still in our bathing clothes, we had nothing to take of of each other, unless we wanted to expose us fully. Instead, he placed his hands on my ass. I lost control for a second and stopped kissing, just to smile. He was about to undress me, until I realized, "Grayson, not here!"

He stopped kissing me and moved his hands up to my waist, "What is it Skyler?"

I looked at our dog, "I don't wanna have sex in front of our dog, that's gross."

"Right," he said a little embarrassed.

I pecked his lips and smirked, "Don't worry baby. When we get home, we can do what ever we want!"

He smirked back and kissed me once again, "How about we get something to eat?"

I nodded and he opened the bag. I was right, he had packed some food. We sat down on the stone floor, whom surprisingly wasn't that cold. We heard and saw the waterfall, it was so beautiful. Grayson gave me a sandwich and gave himself one too. He placed a water bottle in front of us, and took up Sam's food. He came running towards us and started eating from his bowl.

"It tastes delicious, I didn't know you could make food!" I joked.

He shook his head while grinned, "Really Sky? It's a sandwich, nothing can go wrong with a sandwich. It's like the easiest thing ever."

I laughed with my mouth full of food, "Don't say that, Michelle were once making me a sandwich. The first time, she used ketchup. Who does that? Anyways, the bottle like exploded so the ketchup went everywhere. Not that great. The second time was when we were at the beach, and she decided to make a sandwich. I tasted it and it was good, if you wanted a sandwich. Somehow she had manage to pour some sand in it."

"I didn't know she couldn't make food!" Grayson laughed.

I shook my head, "No, that's the thing. She's a terrific cook. But she can literally not make sandwiches. Or pancakes, she always burns them or uses too much salt!"

He though, "You two are pretty peculiar, which makes you pretty similar. You fit together."

"I know, that's why the terrible sandwich maker is my best friend," I laughed with love.

He laughed too, and ate his sandwich.

When we had eaten up our food, and Sammy was laying beside me, touching my leg, Gray reached for the bag. I didn't mind him, so I started patting our son on his back.

"Skyler?"

I snapped out of my mind and looked at Gray, "Yeah?"

He cleared his throat, "I suck at speeches, but I'm gonna try anyways, for you."

This was odd, I looked at him in confusion while listening on what he had to say.

Gray grabbed my free hand, "We met each other on Insta, and I'm so thankful for that. If I hadn't seen your profile, I would never be as happy as I am now. Well, we met in NYC, and from the first moment I saw you, I fell for you. And I fell hard. Every day after that day, I've just fallen deeper, getting more in love, day after day. When you said yes to being my girlfriend, I was practically flying. I didn't think I could get any happier, but I was wrong. Here I am, happier than ever!"

I saw a tear on his cheek, and I felt one on my as well.

He continued, "Yes, we've had our ups and downs. We've both cheated, cause we were too afraid of losing each other. Some people may think it's unbelievable and wrong that we keep forgiving each other. I don't. I wouldn't be this happy if you hadn't forgive me. I wouldn't be Grayson. Thank you, for keeping me staying true. Thank you, for believing in me, even when I don't even believe in myself. Thank you, for loving me, when I feel the loneliest. Thank you for being her with me, for being mine!"

Now we both sat like two fools, crying out of happiness.

He moved closer to me, taking the thing he had hidden inside the bag, and got up on a knee. For a second my heart stopped and my jaw dropped. I sat there crying with Sam pressing himself against my leg, as some sort of comfort. I patted him on his head, while looking deeply into Grayson's eyes.

"Skyler Emilia Jones, will you marry me?" He asked with tears flooding down his cheeks.

I nodded over and over again, not believing the words that just had come out of his mouth, "Yes, of course I will marry you!"

He put on my ring, and as soon it was on, I threw myself over him. I sat in his lap, my face buried in his neck.

"Grayson?" I asked.

He hugged me tighter, "Yeah honey?"

"I," the rest couldn't anybody hear, because I humbled in his neck.

He pushed me away from him, just enough so he could look me in the eyes, "What?"

I ignored what he said and kissed him instead. After our shared kiss, I looked back at our son, "Sammy baby, come to mommy!"

Sam got up quickly and walked over to us, and I lifted him up to put him in my lap. He licked me in the face, and I kissed him on his nose.

"My happy family," I whispered and saw Grayson smile.

I didn't think I could get any happier than this.
