Chapter 22 - Surprise, surprise, surprise

Liz POV:

I'm getting ready for my birthday evening with Dean, I said simple and nothing to flashy I have a feeling he won't listen Dean is too thoughtful for that. As I finish straightening my hair and applying my lipgloss. I put on my hot pink six inch heels that pair perfectly with my sky blue maxi dress. I then hear a ping noice.

Dean: hi baby please meet me at our spot. I can't wait to see you. X

It's quarter to twelve I have a feeling it's going to be a long day but luckily I have two days off to recover and I have a feeling I'll need it.

Dean POV:

Fuck I'm so nervous, she makes me loose control of everything, I've decided to go big or go home so I've found a few houses in Italy near my parents, I am aware that Liz is a few years younger so she will want a career which is great a few of these houses have big enough space for a cookery school or restaurant if she prefers big enough for a family and a future I also have work lined up after 18 months at sea I have decided a change of pace and land legs for a while would be a good thing. I have a teaching degree so I decided that it's time for a change but I want liz. I send her a text asking her to meet me at our spot while I try and keep calm.

Liz: "hey sweetheart, I said nothing big just small and simple it's almost like you enjoy ignoring me mi amore"

Dean: "I'm sorry angel I just wanted this birthday to be special" as I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss the back of her head I start to countdown.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZZIE, WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Liz: "what, you umm Dean what?"

Dean: "I know I know it's so fast it's so fast that it's scary but I love you, you are it for me there is nobody else I will do everything and anything to make you happy"as I open a small red velvet box which contained a ruby studded ring with diamonds on a palladium band. It was my mother's.

"So flower, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me, marry me so that I can spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Liz: "I love you so much and yes yes I will marry you!!!" As the ring slipped on to my finger I kissed Dean as my arms wrapped around his neck and his hands wrapped around my waist

"Dean, I Dean I"

That's right I fucking fainted

I fainted moments after getting engaged.

Doctors wing on ship:

Ship doctor

Dr Evans: "just take a moment miss Stevens, drink some wanted and take these tablets."

Liz: "thank-you, what exactly happened?"

Dr Evans: "well your body has been under some stress we ran some tests while you were asleep so if you could just sign the papers to say that I would appreciate it, Dean is outside I'll just go get him so we can talk."

Dean comes over to the bed and hold my hand

Dean: "everything ok mi amore?, what's going on doctor?"

Our fingers are locked together as we wait for the words to come out of the doctors mouth

Dr Evans: "oh everything is fine I just think it's a wise idea to speak to both of you regarding early stages of pregnancy about two months along I'd say"

Liz: "WHAT?!"

Dean: "PARDON?!"

Happy fucking birthday to me!
