*Malina's POV*
I covered my mouth with my hand. I was not expecting that. I am so happy when I am with him, and I honestly want to spend the rest of my life with him. My eyes started welling up with tears of joy.
"Oh my god!" I said excitedly. The ends of Jimmy's mouth curled into a little smile. "Yes! Jimmy, oh my god! Yes!" I said. Jimmy smiled really big and stood up. I wrapped my arms around Jimmy's neck, and gave him a long kiss. A tear rolled down my cheek, I was so incredibly happy.
When we let go, Jimmy put the ring on my left ring finger.
"It's so beautiful." I said. Oh my god, what is this life?!
"I was so worried because we've only been dating for 7 months and-"
"I don't care about how long we dated. What matters is how much we love each other!" I interrupted. Jimmy smiled in relief, and gave me a tight hug.
"You're right." Jimmy said.
When we let go, I jumped up and down. Jimmy laughed.
"Oh my god! What is this life?" I said. My heart was overflowing with love.
"I mean, we can start a family together, and, oh my god it makes me so happy just thinking about our future!" I squealed. Jimmy smiled from ear to ear, and took my hand.
I covered my mouth with my hands again, still shocked. A tear of joy rolled down my cheek.
Then, my phone rang in my pocket. I pulled it out. It was Lorne.
"Hello?" I said when I clicked answer.
"Malina? How are you?" Lorne asked.
"I'm doing fantastic, how about you?"
"I'm happy to hear that you are recovering well. I just wanted to say that you can come back to SNL whenever you feel like it, and there is no rush." Lorne said.
"Wait, rehearsals for next weekend's show starts tomorrow, right?" I asked.
"Yeah." Lorne responded.
"I think I could make it. I'm doing fine enough to come back I think." I explained.
"Great! We'll see you tomorrow then?" Lorne asked.
"Yup! Thank you."
"No problem, Malina. Bye!"
I hung up, and put my phone on the coffee table.
*The next day*
It feels like it's been forever since I've been at NBC Studios. I don't think I even remember where to go for rehearsals, it's felt like that long.
Jimmy and I went into the studios, and I skipped in there, so happy about what happened yesterday. But, I didn't look forward to answering the same question. Are you okay?
I skipped to the girls dressing room. I saw Ana Gasteyer, Cheri Oteri and Molly Shannon.
"Hey!" I squealed.
"Holy shit! Hey Malina!" Ana said, and gave me a hug. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing great!" I said.
"You're very happy, what's going on?" Cheri asked. Oh god, should I tell them?
"Well, uh, it's, uh, just something about Jimmy." I've always been the worst when I don't tell someone the full truth.
"Hold on, let me guess..." Molly said, closing her eyes and thinking. "He, uh, proposed to you!"
"Damn, you're a good guesser!" Once I said that, all three of them had their jaws dropped.
"No. Freaking. Way." Cheri said, her eyes wide.
"I know right! I wasn't even expecting it." I said, warmly smiling.
"Aww, Malina! I'm so happy for you!" Molly squealed, and gave me a hug.

During rehearsal, Lorne gave us our scripts, told us who was in what sketch, and I was excited to find out that I was going to show up in the monologue.
