The Proposal Of A Lifetime

Becky and Charlotte were enjoying a relaxing massage at the spa before heading off to the sauna.

Charlotte: Oh god, this is the life, eh Becks?

Becky: Too right, I mean, don't get me wrong I love the kids and Alex but it's nice to just have a bit of me time every once in a while.

Charlotte: Speaking of Alex, I've been meaning to ask you something about him.

Becky: Go on...

Charlotte: I was just curious, but you guys have been together for over a year now, do you think he's gonna propose to you soon?

Becky: Well, to be honest, I don't know. I mean, he hasn't mentioned anything about marriage to me, but I really want to marry him, he's definitely the one I want to commit to. I just don't know if he does, cos I know he had a few issues back from when he was with Billie.

Charlotte: True, but to be honest, I'm surprised he hasn't done it yet.

Becky: I won't blame him if he never does ask me, but I won't hesitate to say yes if he does one day.

Charlotte had a wry smile on her face as Becky looked and stared at her ring finger. Then they headed to the hot tub room for a bit more relaxation, and even fell asleep. That was a sign of how relaxed they were. Luckily, for their sakes, they weren't asleep for long as they woke up about half an hour later.

Charlotte: Whoa, can't believe we actually fell asleep!

Becky was still asleep, so Charlotte asked Alex how everything was going.

Charlotte: Hey Al, how's the planning going?

Alex: Brilliant! We've got the dresses for the babies, as well as the candles and rose petals! All we need is the roses and we're set! Still got a couple of hours yet, so you two dress shopping after! I want her to look her best!

Charlotte: Don't you worry, I've got it all in hand!

Becky: Who you texting?

Charlotte jumped when Becky spoke and almost dropped her phone in the water.

Charlotte: I... er... nobody... just Peyton.

Becky: Come on, Char, I've known you long enough for me to tell when you're fibbing!

Charlotte: Honestly, it's just Peyton!

Becky: Okayyy then... well we'd better get out of here before we fall asleep again!

They enjoyed all sorts of treatments and relaxation therapies before heading for the next part of their ladies day, clothes shopping.

Charlotte: So I thought maybe you could get a new dress to maybe impress Alex with for dinner tonight?

Becky: Nice idea... maybe you could get one for yourself as well, for a certain iconic Australian...

Charlotte blushed heavily as they looked at the dresses for a good half an hour and tried lots on, until they eventually came to a decision. Becky chose a black lace dress which flowed down her body, and trailed behind her, while Charlotte went for a tight dark blue floral dress which hugged her curves very nicely.

Meanwhile, at the beach, Peyton, Billie and Alex were all set for Becky to make her appearance.

Alex: Ok, one last check. Dresses for the babies?

Billie: Check!

Alex: Candles?

Peyton: Yep, check!

Alex: Rose petals, rose arch, and roses?

Peyton: Check, check and triple check!

Billie: Okay then! We're all set! You excited, Lewis?

Lewis just laughed and clapped his hands in excitement.

Alex: How about you, girls?

They both smiled at him and also giggled.

A few minutes later, the sun began to set. Charlotte drove Becky back to her house, and got dressed into the dresses they bought, and then Charlotte got a taxi for both of them to the beach, although Becky didn't know that. She blindfolded Becky so she didn't know for certain where they were going. But the blindfold was making Becky suspicious.

Becky: So why do I have to wear this thing again?

Charlotte: For the third and last goddamn time, I can't tell you because it's a surprise!

Becky: Okay...

Charlotte: Now, come on, we're nearly there.

Charlotte: Hope everything is ready, cos we're on our way and from the looks of things, very nearly there!

Alex: Just relax, everything is set! Just waiting on you both to get here!

After a few more minutes, Charlotte and Becky arrived at the beach. Charlotte helped her out of the taxi, and paid the driver, before helping her walk down the beach, towards where Alex, Peyton, Billie and the kids were.

Becky: Okay, I think I know where we are... but why are we at the beach, Char?

Charlotte: Hang on... Just stay here...

Becky: Wait, why?

Charlotte left Becky standing still and quickly got into position, next to the girls and the kids.

Charlotte: Well, take off the blindfold and you'll find out!

Becky removed her blindfold and teared up at the sight before her. She saw Charlotte holding Rhiannon, Peyton holding Samantha and Billie holding Lewis standing in the middle of a rose arch, which was in the middle of candles set in a love heart shape.

B

ecky: Oh my god...

She saw Rhiannon and Samantha wearing little baby dresses and as she cuddled them, she saw what was written on them...

Becky: Mummy... Will you... marry... our daddy?

Alex cleared his throat to signal his presence behind Becky, and she turned around to see Alex on one knee, with a ring in his hand.

Alex: Rebecca, since the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that one day, we would be together, and here we are, over 15 months later. We've been through a lot together, had 2 beautiful baby girls, and now it's time to put the cherry on top of the cake in our relationship. Rebecca Quin, will you do me the honour of being my wife and marrying me?

Becky was crying tears of happiness as she gave him her answer...

Becky: Yes, yes I will marry you!

Alex slowly slid the ring on her finger, and then got up to kiss her as the girls and the kids cheered for them in the background as they were handed their kids.

Becky: Hey babies!

Alex: They've been with me all day today, you've got Peyton, Billie and Charlotte to thank for helping me put all this together!

Becky: So that's why I was asked out to the spa by you today!

Charlotte: Yeah, it was all a distraction so these three could get set up and look after the kids.

Becky: Oh god, I love you all so much!

Everyone gathered around Becky and Alex for a group hug. Everyone was crying except for Alex, who couldn't stop smiling.

Alex: I'm so glad you said yes...

Becky: I've been waiting for you to ask, Charlotte was talking to me about it earlier today!

Charlotte blushed, turned red and hid her head in Peyton's shoulder.

Alex: It's okay Char, I don't mind!

She slowly raised her head and smiled back at Alex.

Becky: How long have you been planning this babe?

Alex: About a month now, since before the babies were born.

Becky: Aww, babe!

She kissed him once more before hugging him in front of the girls, who were getting all emotional. Charlotte hugged Peyton, while Lewis hugged his mum, Billie.

Becky: And yes, all of you are invited! Charlotte, I need to ask you one big favour... Will you be my bridesmaid?

Charlotte: Oh god, yes! Definitely!

Alex: And Lewis, come here, buddy!

Alex took him from Billie and asked him a big question.

Alex: Lewis, my main man, can you do me a massive favour and be the ring bearer? You get to give them to us on the wedding day!

Even though Lewis barely made out what Alex said, he nodded and giggled as Alex handed him back to Billie.

Billie: Aww, isn't that amazing?!

Lewis then got all shy and hid his head in his mum's shoulder.

Becky: I love you... so much...

Alex: I love you too... I can't wait until the day we finally seal the deal and become husband and wife...
