I can't help but laugh as I look down at my damn expensive shirt now covered in sick thanks to my handsome son.

"Daddy can't go out like this." I laugh as Jake’s green eyes look at me as he chews on his hand. I finish baby wiping him down and getting him in some new clothes, while I carry on smelling like sick.

"Oh dear." Maisy giggles, coming into the room looking amazing in a tight, blue dress. Her shiny hair is straight, flowing around her shoulders as she walks.

"Wow," I say, forgetting about my shirt as her sharp, brown eyes meet mine.

Izzy and Blake are babysitting for us tonight as we are going out for a date. It's the first time since Jake was born six weeks ago that we are going to be alone together. We haven't had any time to be close or sleep since he was born, so a whole night of being together sounds perfect.

"Here, hand him over." Izzy walks around Maisy, coming to take Jake from me. I kiss his head before handing him over.

"Daddy's going to miss you, but I need some Mummy time. You will understand when you’re older," I tell him as he just looks at me like I’m mad or something.

I hear Izzy and Maisy laughing at me instead.

I leave Maisy to say goodbye to Jake and head into Elliot's room to borrow a shirt. I knock before going in and see he is on the phone. 

"I will meet you then. Don't be late," he says tensely, looking like he wants to break the phone as he ends the call.

"I'm guessing you need a shirt?" He raises his eyebrows at my sick-covered shirt. 

"Good guess," I say sarcastically. 

"Don't be a jackass, help yourself," he says with a snort before leaving the room.

I grab a blue shirt, which I bought Elliot, because I know it will look good. I chuck it on before heading back to Izzy’s room. Izzy has the cot all set up and everything ready for the night.

"So, you promise to call me if there are any problems?" Maisy is asking, looking down at Jake in Izzy’s arms.

"Yes, but we will be fine. Have a good night." She winks and shoos Maisy out of the room and toward me.

"Blake will be here in a bit, and I'm sure Harley isn't going to stay away for long," Izzy tells us and then goes back to put a sleeping Jake into his cot.

"I feel bad leaving him," Maisy says, coming to stand in front of me.

"I know, but he is safe, and I want my beautiful fiancée to myself tonight." I pull her up to my chest and kiss her slowly. I hear her moan, and I have to pull away before I get a hard-on in front of my sister and son. It's been torture sleeping next to her warm body every night, knowing I couldn't touch her like that yet, and we both were too tired to try.

"Come on." She smirks, and we walk out to our car. 

"So, what's the plan?" she asks, as I've kept quiet about what I've had in mind.

We had Christmas two weeks ago with all the family. Allie and Elliot ended up arguing. Blake and Izzy disappeared on us not long after Izzy opened Blake's present, which was a lovely necklace. The rest of the night, we all sat around drinking while Harley refused to put Jake down. It was perfect. We stayed in for New Year’s Eve, but I know everyone else went out. It didn’t bother me like it might have before because I spent it with my own little family.

"It's a surprise, remember?" I wink at her before starting the car and driving to the lake.

I have a small camping fire started in one of those fire pots on the deck and a table with chairs. I spent the day decorating the deck with fairy lights too. Luke has set up the fire and left a bag of Chinese food on the table. 

"Sebby," she whispers as we pull up and sees what I've done. 

She gets out the car quickly, with me following, and stops near the table.

"Thank you, this is way more than I expected." 

I turn her to me, kissing her lightly.

"This was how I was planning to ask you to marry me. I thought you deserved to see it." I panic a little, worried how she will take it.

"I would have said yes a million times over, but how you asked me was perfect." She kisses me again, and, this time, neither of us let go as the kiss turns more passionate. I pick her up, pushing her against the wooden fence on the decking and kissing down her neck. 

I pull away. "Wait, I have to tell you something. Let's eat first."

I take her hand, leading her to her chair and pulling it out for her to sit on. I serve up the Chinese food while she frowns a little at me.

"Everything okay?" she hesitantly asks.

Shit, I've worried her when I didn't mean to.

"Sorry, baby, I didn't want to worry you." I pause, putting down my fork to hold her hand.

"I wanted to tell you that I bought into Harley’s gym. I paid for the expansion that’s happening soon, and Harley made me half owner with him. I was never like you. University wasn't a dream for me, but I know I’ll enjoy working with my brother." I stop speaking and look at her shocked face.

"This means once you’re ready to leave Jake with me, you can apply for university or college. I know you had great grades when you left, so I know you can do anything you want when you put your mind to it," I finish, watching her stunning, brown eyes.

She doesn't say anything for a long time, and I'm sweating, nervous of her reply.

"Please say something," I ask, getting worried.

She gets up and throws herself into my lap kissing me. I groan when she runs her hands up my shirt, playing with my chest. 

“I love you so much, Sebby,” she whispers against my lips.

"Baby, does this mean you’re happy?" I struggle to say while she is kissing my jaw and down my neck.

"I love you so much. I can't believe you did that for me, but I love you more for it. You’re so sweet." She moans when I play with her breasts through her dress. 

"How about we go home, and you can show me how happy you are with me?" I grin at her. 

"Take me home, Sebby." She moans in my arms.

“Not until we eat. A little teasing won’t harm you,” I say, making her laugh and not being able to wipe the big smile off my lips as she kisses me again.
