Always and Forever

Gabrielle Kovac · Jul 29, 2011

Gabrielle Snow ran a couple of fingers through her messy blonde hair, she had yet to brush it and honestly right now she could care less if she looked like crap or not. Sometime around this morning Gabrielle started feeling this horrible cramping pain in her abdomen. She didn't consider that it could be labor pains because she was only eight months or so along. Which was far too early to be giving birth or anything. But those pains kept on and on and it was getting to the point where Gabrielle was actually get bothered by them. They hurt like hell but she had always been pretty good at holding back when she was in pain. But the issue was, she didn't want to worry Colton at all. When he started to worry things got a little nerve racking for everyone. He was probably the biggest worrier anyone could meet and if he found out that she was in pain she would never hear the end of it and Colton wouldn't let her do anything. The past couple of months have been both wonderful and obnoxious to Gabrielle. She had her boyfriend back. Which was the best part to her because she missed him so damn much. Every single night they cuddled together and woke up together. He always kept her really warm and comfortable. They took turns making breakfast for one another, Colton always gave her really nice back massages when her back was sore. He was just perfect. But, her being pregnant made him awful bossy when it came to when she could be out of bed, making sure she ate healthy food that wasn't all that tasty or appealing to the eye. Oh gosh and then there was that nasty medicine he made her take all the damn time. He said he wanted to make sure that the baby remained healthy and so did she. But Gabrielle thought that this was all a bit much. Especially because he was worried all the time and she felt there was very little to be worried about. For some reason Gabrielle found herself worried about other things besides her health. Like when her and Colton might tell one another that they loved one another. She knew he did love her, but it just wasn't time. But whenever would be the perfect time? Then there's them possibly getting married. Would she ever find herself one day walking down the aisle in one of those beautiful white gowns as his bride? She could only hope that one day he had the courage to ask her if that was what he wanted.

It was early in the morning, nearing four in the morning and Colton was still asleep, he looked so precious. But Gabrielle's pains made it hard for her to enjoy just laying in bed with him. And it seemed that the longer she stayed there the more pain she found herself in. So she carefully got up from the bed, being extra careful not to move around too much so she woke Colton by accident. The pain nubbed at her and Gabrielle bit her lip and continued on her way out of the room because she figured moving around along with a walk would help her out. The house was cool and quiet, especially with Ariah being at school and Colton being asleep. But it was peaceful here and Gabrielle loved it no matter what it was like. Gabrielle opened the curtains a little bit so she could peer outside, it had rained last night and since Colton lived semi close to the woods, there was a mist of mist floating around the tree's and giant rocks. This would be romantic if there was a fire light and her boyfriend wasn't resting. 'I wish I could go to bed, I'm exhausted.' Gabrielle breathed out as she waddled through the living room, trying to keep her mind off the fact that something wasn't feeling right. Telling Colton was something she knew she probably should have done but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Having him worry was the last thing she wanted. Another wave of pain greeted her and Gabrielle held her swollen belly and breathed out. The only thing she could hope for right now was that it faded.

Colton Kovac · Aug 10, 2011

Colton was laying asleep, deep in a dreamless sleep that he would not remember the dream of. He did not like it that he was sleeping so soundly, but then again, it was around the eighth month of Gabrielle being pregnant. He was sleeping a lot better than he ever had, so that was a plus. That was all because he had Gabrielle back in his life because he was in love with her and wanted the best for her. He was going to remain here for her and for their son. However how he was undisturbed by Gabrielle was rather off. He was sleeping like he hadn't in years, which those three months without Gabrielle that is what it felt like, years. Colton had yearned to hold her while she slept and he would wait a little bit before he too would go to sleep. With this baby, he wanted to make sure that everything went by smoothly because he did not want anything bad to happen to Gabrielle, same with the baby. Sure, he might have worried too much but that was the type of person he was, a worrier. He could not help it, and he wanted to ensure that Gabrielle would have the baby safely. He had made her take some medicine he had made himself. Colton could maybe make it taste better if he wanted to, but he did not want to risk taking it himself and something happen to him. He had no idea what it would do to males if they were to take the medicine, thus why he restrained from making it taste like oranges or something. Colton was not going to take something like that and risk putting more estrogen in him or something. One person in the house with that was enough. Gabrielle was nice though, he liked having her around, so he would keep that in mind. It was not long now until they were going to be parents. Colton honestly could not wait for the baby to come so that he knew that Gabrielle and their son would be safe. All these things and more were always running around through his head. There was more thoughts as well, but the ones about Gabrielle and her pregnancy remained on top.

Very little movement in the bed had actually caused Colton to stir, which he had just turned over in the bed. However, there was something else too. When he turned over, his hand slipped against the end table, scratching it slightly. His eyes opened and he blinked several times. Sitting up in the bed slowly, he rubbing his hand where a light red mark was, before he turned his head over to see Gabrielle. However, her side of the bed was vacant. He checked with his watch to see that it was merely four in the morning. He did not think that she had work this early in the morning, or why anyone would want to be up at four in the morning. Sure, sometimes he got up at five, but that was an hour from now. Darkness still filled the room, and he slowly stepped off of the bed. He wanted to know where Gabrielle had gone because this was unusual for her to him to be wondering around this early in the morning. Was something wrong? Colton glanced down at his clothes that he slept in, which was a loose shirt and loose pants. Eh, he would not bother putting on anything else because chances were, he was going to be going back to sleep. He walked closer and closer to the living room, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. He even tried to fix his tussled hair but it was not working at all. Giving up about half way to the living room, he looked around as he entered, to see Gabrielle. However, his eyes narrowed, as he side stepped around to get a better look at her. Was the baby kicking her that hard, or was something up? Colton inquired, his voice amazingly awake and alert, "Belle, is something wrong?" Of course he would use that nickname, he barely used 'Gabrielle' anymore because he was so used to the nickname that he had given her. Slowly, he made his way to her, and he wanted to hug her or something, but he was a little cautious. Plus, when he was waking up, he was not the best comforter in the world either. He was what he was. Yet, he could not help but be worried.

Gabrielle Kovac · Aug 24, 2011

Gabrielle felt her stomach drop and she jumped when out of nowhere she heard a voice. The young Healer wasn't expecting anyone to be awake at this early hour. She probably shouldn't expected any less from her ~~husband~~boyfriend because he slept so lightly. He was most likely woken up a bit ago when she tried to get out of bed without waking him. Her head turned in the direction of Colton's voice and her sky blue eyes reflected a sign of relief that it was only him coming into the living room. Her body seemed to feel more at ease with him awake and able to take care of her if this pain persisted but she also worried that he would start to worry over her sake. Gabrielle hated anyone fussing over her. It always made her think Colton would do something irrational or worry too much about her and forget about himself in the process. There was no doubt in her heart that this would worry him if she told him what was wrong as well. Smooth lips curled up into a soft smirk when he used her nickname that she loved oh so much. It was cute and simple. The meaning behind it was enough to make her smile and it was a nickname that he and he alone called her by so to her it was even more special. "I'm sorry if I woke you up, you should go back to bed....you look exhausted." For now she felt like she had a control over that uncomfortable cramping feeling. Her due date wasn't for another month so she figured the baby had just lodged himself somewhere uncomfortable. Babies were not her forte nor were they something she studied up on so she couldn't be one hundred percent sure on the issue. If it persisted she would tell Colton but she didn't want him to worry when he should be sleeping and relaxing before he had to go to work or something. Before Gabrielle answered his question she breathed out and looked out the window back at the scenery outside. She was indeed stalling from having to answer him. Her body was in pain and it was uncomfortable but she didn't want him to worry. Even if she did want him to worry she wouldn't know how to explain what was wrong anyways. This was even more of a hassle then trying to keep her feelings she felt for him on the down low. How did her mother deal with these sort of issues when she was younger?

"I wish I could say there wasn't." Gabrielle bit out as she finally got tired of looking outside and shut the blinds. The room would have been completely black if she hadn't used her wand to light up one of the lamps. Giving the room a bit of light but not enough as there could have been. Partially she was hoping she end up going back to bed when and if this passed but it seemed like this pain was going to be relentless on her body. Gabrielle closed her eyes as she tried to fight back a wave of pain. She was trying the absolute best she could to not make it seem obvious that she was hurting because once Colton noticed she was sure he would get uncomfortable. A strong breath left her and she let her hand float up to her face so she could run her fingers through the smoothness of her hair and tie a hair band around it so it was out of her face, but she let her bangs hang down and frame her face. "Now if I tell you what's wrong, you cannot start to worry okay? I am feeling very painful cramps. They hurt to the point where I can't even sleep them off anymore." Gabrielle told him softly as she stared at him. normally she would have hugged him or something but since he looked pretty tired and she was hurting, she remained standing by the blind covered window and staring up at him with those beautiful blue's of hers. Perhaps he could tell her what was wrong and then she could go back to sleep, or take a nice warm bath. Whatever she could do she wanted this to stop. If she had to she would even take some dreaded medicine. Giving her medicine normally took a battle and a half for anyone who tried. Even her beloved Colton had to fight with her about taking the medicine she needed to take for the baby. Yes it was good for them both but Gabrielle hated taking medicine with a burning passion. If had such a vile taste and feeling when it went down her throat. Surely Colton was able to understand that much when he tried to make her take the damned stuff.

Colton was slowly waking up even though on the outside, he looked wide awake and alert, if not in a rather sour mood. However his voice when speaking to Gabrielle was not anywhere near the words 'sour'. Even when he was half asleep, he loved her and treated her with the utmost kindness. He was just glad that they were back together and loving each other more than anything, even if it was going unspoken. That was the way that Colton preferred it until they were ready to speak it. It would come out naturally, and it sure as hell was not going to be coming out at four in the morning. Not from Colton at least. He had not even had his morning coffee. Colton was even more observant than usual in the mornings considering that Gabrielle was pregnant, and she was at risk as long as she was not being taken care of properly, which Colton had made sure that he would be doing. He needed to ensure that nothing would be wrong with her or their son. Colton was just worried, but at least he was taking care of himself now. He was out of depression and ready to get back out in the world, which he was doing right now. Colton could not resist raising an eyebrow at what she said. He looked exhausted? Colton was not feeling it right now. He looked over to see his reflection in the window. Faded as it was, he could see what she meant. His hair was messed up and everything. Colton shook his head and he said in a tired voice, "Not alone, but I wake up early. You would know this." Colton smiled lightly, and he kept his eyes on her body to see what is going on. What he did catch on immediately was that she was not answering the question. Of course he would catch this. Colton folded his arms across his chest and he narrowed those brown eyes at her even more. What was going on that he could not see, and it could be affecting Gabrielle. She was looking outside, which made him look outside too. Was there someone outside that woke her up? It was probably a raccoon or something that lived around here. Colton was getting more and more worried but he refused to show it. Perhaps that was why she was stalling because she did not want him to worry too much over her. That was something that he would never help, and he would continue on.

Then it was said. Her answer which was something that he did not want to hear, but Colton wondered what was wrong. So there was something wrong, but she was not wanting to say what it was. He might get overly worried at times, but there was always a good reason for doing what he did. He noticed that she seemed to be fighting something but he did not know what, or she was good at hiding it too. He wanted to start tapping his foot on the floor but felt that it would be unnecessary. Gabrielle would end up telling him what was going on, but he was already getting a little uncomfortable with what was going on. Something was wrong and he did not know what it was, thus making him a little stiffer than normal. Colton was getting more and more nervous, because he was starting to get a bad feeling about all of this, and he needed to listen up and make sure that he was paying attention to every little detail. She tied her hair behind her head, and Colton wondered if it had something to do with the baby. When Gabrielle finally told him what was going on, he placed a hand to his forehead. How in the world did she not want to tell him this? Cramps were a sign that the baby may be coming. She cannot even sleep them off anymore, so something had to be up. Colton let out a sigh and he said, "It could be one of two things. Either you are going into labor early, or it could be Braxton-Hicks which are false contractions. How far apart are they?" If they were getting closer and closer, he would have to take her to the hospital to ensure that everything is fine, or he could have her give birth here at home, whatever she wanted to do. Colton wanted the best for his girlfriend, and he rubbed his eyes again. He needed his coffee but he had to know what was going on with his girlfriend. He may have to check her out to see if she was dilating, or something. And to see if her water broke. He had not felt anything wet in his bed, or a puddle on the floor. If the water breaks, then they were in for hours of labor.

Gabrielle Kovac · Sep 5, 2011

Gabrielle knew that Colton had a habit of getting up early, she didn't know how he could stand to do such a thing but he had been doing it for a long time apparently. Normally he didn't look as exhausted as he did now and that was what worried her. "Yeah but hun, this is early for even you." Gabrielle commented as she leaned close and used her fingers to softly press some of the bangs from Colton's forehead and apologetically kissed his forehead. She still felt pretty horrible if she was the one that had woken him up. Gabrielle wasn't one hundred percent sure if he had work today or not. Work was out of the question for her since Colton insisted that she take off as much time as possible so she barely worked this days. It was frustrating to be stuck in the house without something to do and without someone to keep her company other than the baby that was trapped inside her stomach. Sometimes she would try to clean or go out for a walk but Colton worried when she did those things too and when Colton got really worried he got frustrating to deal with. Gabrielle loved him too much to make him worry like that anyways, she didn't see him in that kind of mood because it made her feel like she was the cause of his problems and stress. It just made her feel bad when he was feeling bad. Apparently that was how lovers reacted to one another when they were deeply and truly in love. They hadn't admitted their love to one another but it was still there. They both knew it too. Colton knew how she felt about him and she knew how he felt about her. That was all that mattered until they were both ready to admit to one another. After they admitted it though Gabrielle wasn't quite sure what was going to happen, but she was eager for the day when she would be able to tell her boyfriend exactly how she felt about him. Sometimes she felt more pressured to say it to him because they had a baby and were not married and stuff. A lot of people seemed to be really surprised at that when they in her wing at St. Mungos. Well the ladies that visited didn't seem to mind so much. They thought Colton was the cutest thing, and that he would have such cute babies. Plus they cooed over her and Colton anyways, they thought that the two of them should take their time and enjoy their lives as it is. The middle aged couples seemed horrified though. Like they knew anything at all though. Her and Colton cared about one another. Gabrielle didn't see much of a future in store for her in marriage but she would spend forever with Colton if that was what he wanted. "Why are you look at me like that?" He was giving her a scolding look. What did she do to deserve such a look from him? She started to feel like a child again with that look bring given to her by her boyfriend. She shrunk down and averted her gaze to the floor. He seemed to be upset with her and she didn't like that.

"Um, about every seven minute's. They last for quite a bit too. Colton I'm only eight months, it'd be way too early for me to have the baby now...right?" Gabrielle asked, blinking softly as her hands rested on her large belly. Well she knew very well that she would go into premature labor but she thought she was doing so well with this pregnancy. Gabrielle wanted herself to believe that every single thing was going by perfectly. She wanted to think that her baby was perfectly happy, that her son would be born on the exact date she was told he would be born on, and that she wouldn't have to suffer like this. It wasn't fair that thing after thing went wrong with this. After losing two children in the past she wanted to have her son so badly and have everything be perfect. Turning to Colton she gave him a look that that displayed that she was scared and worried for their baby's sake. Was he worried too. The darkness of the room minus the little light she had turned on may have masked a little bit of the worry she was feeling but it wasn't enough to probably convince Colton. When a wave of pain that she had been feeling all night got strong and took a powerful hit at her abdomen, Gabrielle clutched her stomach and leaned over. That was painful. "Okay, that one hurt a lot more than the rest." Gabrielle whispered to Colton. It felt like this one lasted forever too but once it was done she breathed out and let her body straighten itself back up. She was tired and in pain, this was just great. After a moment she looked to Colton, hoping he would be able to tell her what she should do and if the baby was coming or not.

Colton Kovac · Sep 9, 2011

Colton knew that this was early to him, but he did not mind it. This was his love here, in pain or something. Colton shrugged and he looked down at her, because she was so close to him. He wanted to be even closer to her but he was worried now because there was something wrong, and she had told him that it was pains. Colton wanted to wrap his arms around her and hold her safe. However that would not be the case right now. Colton was just excited that he was going to become a father with Gabrielle, and they were going to be parents to their son. Even though they have not said anything that they loved each other or not to each other, because it was mutual. They both loved each other, and they would share it eventually. Colton did not think that he would be able to do that anytime soon, but he wanted to be there for Gabrielle through thin and thick. Colton was asked why he was looking down at her so sternly and he just could not help it. He was worried so he just lightened his stare at her, and he simply caressed her cheek and told her simply that he was just concerned, and he thought that he should have been told. The contractions were kind of close together and though she was only eight months, he shook his head, "Actually, not too early, but it is early. The baby would be fine as long as he is not born longer than 8 weeks before he was due." Colton thought that the baby might be coming, but it was his hunch. He hoped that she was going into labor actually so that she could be with him. It sounded like she was going into labor, and the pains were getting worse and worse. He could definitely see it. He was even more worried, but that did not compare to how he felt when he saw Gabrielle's eyes closed and she fainted. He was lucky he was able to catch her before she hit the ground. Colton slowly lifted her into his arms, and he knew then, she was in labor. Heavily so. Colton was scared to death, but he let his mind start thinking like it should, because he needed it.

The Healer needed to think rationally. His son was on his way, and they needed to get on the road. He apparated them off to Saint Mungo's to have their baby. Several working hours later and the screams of Gavin could be heard for miles. He weighed a little over six pounds, and had the bluest eyes. And he had a few strands of brown hair on his head. At least he was not completely bald or else that would be miserable for the young baby. After he made sure that their baby was good and well, before he made sure that Gabrielle was stabilized. Colton needed to be sure that Gabrielle was good to go home, even though she was still knocked out from the labor and everything. He wrapped Gavin in a blanket before he asked a nurse to carry him, and he picked Gabrielle's body from the bed, and carried her to the nurse before they both apparated to his home. The nurse was soon gone after Gabrielle was settled into his bed and resting comfortingly. Colton cradled Gavin into his arms before he settled himself on the bed next to Gabrielle. Gavin seemed to be asleep now resting in the soothing arms of Colton. He was proving to be a great father already, and he was so very glad that he had his family, and he was a son. After losing the last two children, he was able to build a nursery, and finish it. It was blue and everything was in the boy theme. They had gotten Gavin everything in the world that they would need for him. He could not resist being here for the child, and he was happy. Colton was tired because he actually delivered the baby, and he was sure that Gabrielle would be sore when she would wake up. Muscles were stretched and everything so he would expect her to be in pain, but the worst part was over now. Gavin was in the world now, and he was safe. He was alive and he was safe, that was all that mattered. Gabrielle was perfectly fine too.

Gabrielle Kovac · Sep 11, 2011

Gabrielle had been out cold during her entire labor. The pain had been just too much for her small body and she let it overcome her. Being unconscious took away the pain and the fear that she had which would probably be so much easier on Colton because he wouldn't have to see her suffer or have her freak out because she hated being in a Hospital and poked with stuff. She was fine doing it to other people when they tried doing it to her she got nervous and upset. A whimper escaped Gabrielle when she tried to shift a little bit in bed to be more comfortable. Her body was so sore and tired that it felt like she had literally be stomped all over by a dragon or something. The pain reminded her that she had been hurting before she went into the hospital and immediately her blue eyes revealed themselves. It was dimly lit within the room, so Gabrielle was able to tell that the lamp on Colton's side of the bed was turned on but all the other lights were off. Gabrielle wondered how late it was right now. It didn't feel too late but she knew it was sometime in the evening. Gabrielle tried to recall what had happened because she couldn't remember much from earlier. What did happen? All she could recall was passing out within Colton's arms and then waking up here in an immense out of pain and feeling so tired. Her hand absently searched her stomach to check and see if her baby was feeling as restless as she was. It was always comforting to rub her belly too, knowing that the baby was all fine and dandy within. But this time instead of feeling the bump, her stomach felt flat and no longer swollen. 'Wait, the baby!' Gabrielle panicked because her bump was no longer there. Quickly she tried to sit up but that was probably the dumbest idea she could have chosen to think of at this time. Pain coursed it's way through her abdomen and she hunched over to groan in pain. Why did she not think a little bit more clearly before she decided to go and pull a stunt like that? The pain lasted for a good minute or two but then she felt someone shift in the bed beside her and she lifted her blue eyes away the from the sheets and onto Colton. "Colton what-" Gabrielle didn't even get to finish her sentence asking what had happened before she noticed the tiny bundle within Colton's arms. It was a sleeping baby. It was their baby that was sleeping within his arms.

"Is that?....." She drawled off. Her eyes never leaving the baby. Oh he looked so precious and small. Like, small enough to where Gabrielle was worried that even her boyfriend's gentle hold would break him like he was glass. How could a human be so small? Sure Gabrielle was once a baby, and was probably just as small. But it was hard to imagine that a person was made by her and Colton and actually existed. Her son. He looked just like his father too. At least in the face. The tone of his skin matched Colton's perfect, and by god so did his cute little nose. There was also a mass of thin brown hair on the top of his tiny little head. Yeah he definitely looked like Colton. Which she didn't mind because she thought Colton was as handsome as could be. Gabrielle wasn't sure what to say or do because her eyes were just fixed on that baby, watching his every movement. She had wanted to be a mother so badly and after too miscarriages the fact that she finally had a son who was healthy and alive overwhelmed her. Never had she thought she would actually be able to have a child but it looked like she had passed the test. Her first child was so perfect. He was all she would need. Gabrielle wouldn't fuss about having more kids ever. Sure she would love a few more but she had pleaded with Merlin that just one would survive her family's plague. This one did and forever was Gabrielle grateful and happy. Moving forward and leaning over she kissed Colton softly across his lips, thanking him. He looked so good as a father already. "What name did you decide on?" Gabrielle told Colton he could choose the baby's name, especially since she was horrible at naming anything. Plus well she felt like Colton would want to do something like this. Her tiny body scooted over so she was sitting next to Colton. He felt warm and comfy. Gabrielle felt the urge to hold the baby but he looked perfectly comfortable with his father's arms already. "You look like such a natural. I'm jealous." Gabrielle confessed as she leaned her head against Colton's toned shoulder. Her fingers absent drifted out and ran across her baby's sleeping face. His skin was so smooth and flush. He was going to be such a cutie pie when he got older. Gabrielle knew the fun years didn't seem like they were now but she was always warned that once the kids could walk it was trouble all the time. All of her siblings, except for Alyssa who was due next month now had children. Gabrielle wondered if her father would have been proud of this or not.

Time Passes: March 27th, 2029

<COLOR color="black">

Gavin Castiel Kovac was five months old now, and he was settling in nicely in the playpen, those eyes closed and in the house. Rather than going out for the night, Colton and Gabrielle decided that they should stay in and have a romantic dinner. Though it had just started, and it was dark out. Lights iluminated the area outside, and a small table was decorated for the two of them. A baby monitor was on the table next to them in case Gavin should want to wake up, and they would be right here to comfort their baby. Colton had the best night planned and he wanted to ask Gabrielle Desidera Snow to marry him and become Mrs. Kovac. Colton wanted her to be with him and though neither had said that they loved each other, they both knew that it was mutual. Colton looked down at the table at the empty plates where they had just the dessert next. Colton did not mind dessert, but he took a sip of his wine, that had the smallest percent of alcohol in it so that he would not end up getting so drunk that it would not work. Colton had the engagement ring in his back pocket of his black dress pants. His black button-up shirt looked real neat on him and his long hair was combed neatly. He needed to trim his hair a bit, but he was not about to cut it short again because Gabrielle did not like it like that. Colton looked over at the monitor and it was silent, though turned on. He hoped that Gabrielle was ready for the pie that he had made for them, but he did not know how he was going to pop the question. He could stick the ring on the piece of pie, but he did not think that it would be too obvious. He wanted something subtle, something that only he would be able to think of. Colton did not know how else to really do it. His mind was whirling, and he was just excited that he was finally going to be able to ask her to marry him, something he had dreamed of.

The dinner was wonderful, and the night air was peaceful. Everything was going so well and perfectly. Colton could not have asked for a better night to propose. Colton smiled at Gabrielle and he murmured, "Everything is just too perfect tonight, isn't it? Gavin is healthy, we got some time to ourselves and a night off. And best of all, no one has bothered us." Colton did not want anyone to just burst in during his moment, the time that he was going to propose. He wanted to see how everything would work out, and he was just so amazed on how beautiful she was looking right now. She was like an angel from the heavens, and everything was too perfect. Colton was thinking that something had to go wrong, Gavin start crying, but the night was getting later and later, and he was sure that one of them had work tomorrow. Colton was sure that he had to work tomorrow, early too, an early shift. He had forgotten if Gabrielle worked or not. But he did not want to stay up too late, and it was getting close to eleven at night. He would have to be in bed in an hour at least. Colton smiled sheepishly at Gabrielle, and he wanted to just ask her now, but to get himself a breather, he told her that he was going to get the dessert before he stood up and he walked inside the house for a moment, going into the kitchen and getting some apple and strawberry pie. He took the warm pie out of the house and back out to the table where they were seated and he smiled over at Gabrielle. He set it down and handed Gabrielle a knife. He hoped that she would want a piece of it. Colton had to ask and he just asked softly, "Gabrielle, you know that I love you, but I want to know, and hear it, do you love me too?" He knew the answer, but he wanted to be sure. And he felt, that it was the right time. As soon as she answered he was going to pop the question.

Gabrielle Kovac · Sep 24, 2011

Life had been nothing but perfection for Gabrielle since the day Gavin was born. He brought a lot of happiness to the young couple's life which only ended up making them fall even more in love with one another. Gavin was so precious it was hard not to fall in love with him either. He looked a lot like Colton, except his hair was maybe a little thinner and he had blue eyes, but he was such a charmer. All together he was actually a very shy baby. He had a tendency to get upset if he was being held by a stranger for too long and refused to stop crying until Gabrielle or Colton reappeared and let him know that they were around. He always had to have his mommy and his daddy around, the only other person that she knew of that could hold him and have him be calm about it was the babysitter and that was probably only because she had been around since the first couple of months after he was born. Most of the time Gabrielle or Colton was around to watch him while the other was at work but there had been a couple of times where they both had to work at the same time or one didn't get home until after the other person had already left for work. He was cuddly though, which Gabrielle loved. She loved cuddling with her baby, even more so when Colton was home to cuddle with them too. Tonight Gavin was asleep though, which Gabrielle was thankful for. Because her and Colton wanted to have a romantic night to themselves without having to worry about the baby hogging all their attention. Gavin must have enjoyed his trip to the park today. Since Gabrielle had the day off she took her son out so he could spend some time outdoors and around the playground. He was only five months so he couldn't do much but he did enjoy the swings. But now he was home and his slumbering was allowing his parents to have a nice evening together. Gabrielle was really enjoying her night with Colton too, instead of going out they decided to spent the evening at home, having a romantic dinner together. It was completely wonderful. Gabrielle knew Colton could cook but tonight he honestly outdid himself a bit. Gabrielle laid the fork she had been using down onto the plate and smiled softly at Colton. Her hair was straightened tonight instead of the subtle waves she usually left it in. Colton looked handsome himself and it took everything within her not to jump him right now.

"Shh you might jinx it." Gabrielle teased with a small wink as she folded her hands in her lap and smiled graciously at him. Tonight was just too perfect and she wanted nothing to ruin it. They had known one another for almost over three years, and if one didn't count the three months they had been separated for, they would have been together in a relationship for a little bit over two, and Gabrielle had never been happier. They could do just this forever and she would be happy. This is where her life was and she didn't want anything more. Gabrielle didn't even want to take her mother's place as the head of the Lefevre's any longer. Gabrielle just wanted to be with her little family and live happily without the drama being like her mother. "I do have to agree though, tonight has been so wonderful. Oh, you made pie too? Goodness Colton you went all out tonight." Gabrielle knew that Colton wasn't a huge sweets fan so when she saw that he had made a pie she knew was really trying to please her. Pie was so tasty! A knife was handed to her and Gabrielle took herself a slice of apple pie. Some of the filling fell onto her finger and Gabrielle placed her finger in her mouth to suck it off. Colton was good at making pie's too, was there nothing he couldn't do? The only thing left for Gabrielle and him was to get married but she didn't think that would ever happen. This would do, them in love and spending their days together and with their son. Gabrielle tried to dry off her fork so she could eat her pie but then Colton told her that he loved her. Which she knew of course. But he wanted to hear her say it. "I do love you. So much. You make me so happy....you and Gavin both are my entire world." Gabrielle set her fork down and leaned across the table to kiss Colton passionately for a moment, then she pulled away and pressed her back up against the chair and started to focus on cutting her piece of pie into pieces. Tonight, if Colton didn't have work she hoped he would want to cuddle with her and stuff.

Yvo Rowan · Oct 7, 2011

Yvo felt bad that he barely spent any time with his siblings these days, he felt like he was being a horrible brother to all of them. Normally he was considered to be the most friendly but as of late he figured that this might have been untrue. So he promised himself that he would try to visit Colton, Adrian, and Ariah whenever he could. Bring them some lunch or something so he could catch up and be more responsible about being with his family while he still could. Issue was he could never keep track of where Adrian was with him switching because of the muggle world and the Wizarding world. He did have an important job and all but Yvo suspected that a lot of his motivation had to do with that girl that chewed him out for being, well...like he was? But Yvo had written him and explained that sometime soon he wanted go out to lunch or something. Hopefully Adrian actually got it though. Then there was Ariah who was at school. He wanted invited to her Graduation and he intended on going to that but until then he wouldn't be able to see her that much. He and Ariah were probably the closest out of him and his siblings so he would be happy that soon they would be able to hang out all the time. Yvo would definitely want to take her shopping and stuff. She had a whole year before she was supposed to get married and stuff, so he needed to spend as much time with her as he could. Since both Ariah and Adrian were busy he decided that he would go see Colton first. He and Colton were slowly becoming closer. Colton had already known Adrian from school and Ariah was contacted by him right after their father had died. Adrian was the last to get to know him, but Colton was decent so Yvo didn't mind getting to know him at all. If they had been raised together as children he could probably have seen them getting along. Colton was quiet and semi serious like Yvo was. Hopefully he wouldn't mind him visiting tonight. He was only coming over this late because he figured Gabrielle and the baby would be asleep, he didn't want to disrupt any family time that might be going on. Colton knew that he'd be coming sooner or later too so he didn't think that he had to worry so much about knocking either, he didn't want to wake anyone up by doing so? So without a single knock he opened the front door and headed inside his brother's home.

It took a moment but once inside he was able to hear noises coming from either the kitchen or dining room and headed that way. Maybe Colton was eating or something? But once he went inside the kitchen he saw more than just Colton. Gabrielle was there too. It looked like they were having some fancy dinner together and stuff too. Then it clicked. Oh he must have walked a date or something? Colton was glaring too. It looked like he was severely pissed by Yvo showing up and the blonde was pretty sure that if he stayed Colton might throw something at him. "Oh...sorry you two! You know what, I'll just come by some other time. See you guys later." Yvo hurriedly left the kitchen. Yvo wondered why he was so upset. Maybe his time with Gabrielle was really important to him or something? Yvo had never been in love so he didn't understand why it made people insane. He would apologize to Colton later about all of this.

Colton Kovac · Oct 25, 2011

Colton nodded when she said not to jinx it because he did not want to think about how he managed to live without her. It had been years since Colton had known happiness, that was, until he met her. Everything changed when that happened, and he never wanted to have that happen again. He never wanted to leave her, and this was the first time in a long time that he had felt anything like this. His son would be cherished and loved in a world that he had dreamed of belonging in. And tonight, he was going to have his family be united in some form. Colton wanted everything to be perfect for the night that he would ask Gabrielle to be his wife. Colton had it in mind, and everything would have to be perfect. He chuckled when Gabrielle said that he had gone all out which was true, he did. Well, he wanted tonight to be absolutely perfect. Colton nodded at her before he smiled, "Well, I have to make tonight worth everything." It was true for him, and he wanted nothing more but to enjoy tonight and make it worth everything he had in him. Colton had to have Gabrielle in the best of moods. Colton started to eat a little of his apple pie as well. He used an old recipe that his adopted mother had passed on to him. He had little to no idea that even his biological mother was missing, or dead. Though he did not even care much anyway, because his mother never did anything with him, just sent him some letters now and again, and they had stopped coming when he was sixteen. Colton now needed to hear her say it, as the ring in his pocket was burning a hole in his pants, dying to come out. She did say that she loved him, and also added that he and Gavin were her entire world, which is how he had felt inside. He wanted to kiss her then, but it seemed like she was on the same wave length as she kissed him passionately. He of course returned the favor, as he would be a fool not to have done so. Colton smiled when she started to cut the pie into pieces. He placed his hand in his pocket, ready to give it a shot, because it was time to ask, right now.

"That is good, because, I have something for you. I would be-" Colton was very rudely cut off while his heart was pounding, but none other than his brother Yvo. He had one go at this, and it was something that he had been waiting for. Everything had to be perfect, and Yvo, the nicest brother, managed to ruin it this time. Colton turned over with his brown eyes, glaring and him being more pissed than ever before. He never thought that he would have been this pissed off in his life. Tonight had been ruined, and Yvo did the right thing to do which was leave. Managing to finish as he took his hand out of his pocket, without the ring, "damned if something had to go wrong." Colton looked over at Gabrielle, to let her know that she was not the object of his anger. He reached over and stroked her shoulder before he stood up. He heard Gavin in the pin, sort of whimpering, and figured it would be time to put him to the crib for the night. He might sleep the entire night, he was unsure. But what he was sure of, was the fact that he had work in the morning. Colton slowly stood up and he shrugged, "Sorry, Gabrielle, one thing just kind of, you know... Gavin needs to be put to bed anyway, and I have work in the morning." He smiled gently down at her before he headed into the living room and taking Gavin into his arms. He cuddled with his son for a bit, before he took him to the nursery. He was not too sure if Gabrielle would be following her now, but he wanted to, and he had a feeling that she would want to lay down with him until he were to fall asleep. An idea came to mind, because he always got up first, he could slip the ring onto her finger while she slept. He did not bother changing pants, as he went into the bedroom, but he took off his shirt instead, and slipped on a lose one. He folded the covers back, before he slipped into bed. So much for having a perfect night, but he was going to be able to take care of everything later. In his own way, he was going to have his own way with proposing. He would not have to say a word, just let gestures take their lead.

Gabrielle Kovac · Oct 30, 2011

Gabrielle noticed easily that Colton was acting rather odd tonight. She had never seen him worry about perfection as much as he did tonight. It kind of worried her for a moment because she wasn't sure if something was wrong or if it wasn't. It was fine if he wanted to make tonight perfect but Gabrielle worried that he was stressing himself with this. Honestly Gabrielle could care less if it was a romantic dinner or a movie night at home she just wanted to spend the night with him. All the perfection in the world didn't matter to her. But it seemed like it meant a great deal to Colton, so she didn't say much as he tried to tell her that he had to make tonight worth everything. What was so special about tonight? The kiss that they shared couldn't have been more perfect either, it was sweet and passionate. It made it easy for her to tell that they had strong feelings for one another. When they broke apart and Gabrielle started to eat away at the delicious pie Colton had made, she smiled at him when he started to talk. Her blue eyes drifted up and watched as he slid his hand into his pocket. Was he going to give her something? Gabrielle eagerly sat up, wondering what he was reaching for. But a noise coming from the living room alarmed her to turn her head. What was Yvo doing here? Didn't he know that Gabrielle and Colton were trying to have a romantic evening by themselves? With the baby it had been hard for them to get any time alone where they both weren't exhausted. In fact their life in the bedroom was practically nonexistent by this point. But Gabrielle could care less because there were more important things than that. Things Colton did that made her heart soar. Like how he gave her a kiss when he left for work, and when he came back from work. How they always cuddled whenever they were together. It absolutely made Gabrielle's day. Especially when they got to cuddle with Gavin too. He was a very cuddly baby. The moment that Yvo left Gabrielle breathed out and turned to her boyfriend to ask him what he was going to say again. But it appeared that his brother showing up had upset him. She felt him reached over and stroke her shoulder, before he stood up. "But Colto-" Gabrielle started off as he said that Gavin needed to be put to bed and he had work in the morning. Yvo must have upset him so much that he ended their date short. Once he left the room Gabrielle flopped her cheek down onto her hand and sighed. Well there went her romantic night. With a bit of annoyance and sadness because he was upset and she wanted the night to last she leaned up and blew the candles out before she cleared the dished and cleaned what she could.

Gabrielle had an idea though. She knew she could easily fix Colton's mood for the better. It was a gift she had acquired after taking some time to get to know him. Sometimes Gabrielle wondered if that was a good thing or not. Tonight she intended to use it to her advantage. Turning off the lights to the rest of the house, she crept into Gavin's room nursery and gave him a soft kiss on his head. He was the most wonderful baby, the best she could have asked for. Once Gabrielle had checked on her son she then headed back into her and Colton's bedroom. She could tell that her boyfriend was awake easily just by the movement his head made when she entered the room. "Hey." Gabrielle greeted him as she kicked off her shoes and pulled on some comfortable sleeping clothes. Gabrielle crawled onto the bed and moved herself so she was leaning over Colton. Her hand smoothed out his hair and she kissed him softly. "Look, I know you're so upset about tonight....but I don't think you should let it get to you. I love you and I really don't like it when you're mad. Pleaaaase don't be mad Colton. Pleasse." Gabrielle puckered out her lip and tried to please with Colton not to be upset. Also to keep him awake so she could keep this day being perfect. She had an idea on how to finish out the night. That would definitely get his mind off things. Shifting a little bit more so that she could straddle his body she brushed some of her wavy blonde hair out of her face and leaned down to kiss him again softly. This time she kissed his neck though. Softly but lovingly. "I know you have tomorrow. But how about you stay up just a little bit longer. This night was so perfect hun. It would be a shame if it had to end so soon." Gabrielle kissed him again and her hands rested behind his neck. Trying to coax him into staying awake and spending a little bit more time with her. He would easily be able to tell what she wanted too. He wasn't stupid.

Colton Kovac · Nov 10, 2011

Colton looked over at his girlfriend when she had entered the bedroom. His brown eyes went over her figure as she had kicked off her shoes, and then undressed in front of him. Colton would not have minded if she had left those clothing off, but she had pulled on the more comfortable clothing. Gabrielle will always be the love of his life, and he was not about to change for anyone. That was why he had this whole night planned out, and the Yvo ended up ruining it for the two of them. It was ridiculous. Colton ran his fingers through his hair, and he greeted her with a simple, Hey. It was soft, but it was gentle. Naturally speaking like that only to Gabrielle, and she ought to know it by now. There was more underneath him than ever before, and no one had touched his heart like Gabrielle Snow had. She had warmed it, and healed it, and saved him from becoming a workaholic. She had changed his life all for the better, and he had changed hers as well. She had wanted to be a mother, and Colton had discovered that he wanted to be a father, and they both had Gavin Kovac together, and he survived. He was a miracle child, and he was loved by both of his loving parents, and the baby was a pureblooded child, one that would be cherished by many. Gabrielle kissed him softly which he had returned of course. Colton listened to Gabrielle's pleas about not being upset, however it was not even her fault, so she didn't need to think that at all if she was anyway. Colton smiled a little bit at his love. "I'll get him later, but it is still frustrating. He could have picked any other time. But okay, for your sake, I won't go to sleep angry." Colton never had a proper night's rest with being angry. Gabrielle started to straddle him which he did not have to think too long on what Gabrielle was wanting to do. She was soon kissing his neck, and Colton closed his eyes as he felt the usual bodily feelings when Gabrielle was trying to get him to become, well, wanting to have intercourse. "You know, I guess we can end it with a good time." Colton sat up slowly, as he passionately kissed her back, his hands going under her clothing, feeling the softness of the skin that rested beneath the fabric. Colton thought that by their intimate night, it would help him get his mind off of his brother and back onto Gabrielle, which was actually working.

Into the next morning, Colton opened his eyes to find himself laying on his back, still nude from the events from last night. The pants were on the floor still, as was his shirt. He looked down to see Gabrielle cuddling him, but sadly enough, he had to wake up to get ready for work. Gavin was making little to no noises within his nursery, but he would still feed him before he left to go to work, and change his diaper as well. It would take some work off of Gabrielle. Slowly, Colton got out from beneath the covers, and he picked up his pants. He got the ring out of his pocket, and he looked over at Gabrielle. He smiled as he slipped it onto her left hand, on her ring finger. It was subtle, and she would recognize it when she woke up this morning. Colton slipped out of the bed and got dressed in some comfortable attire before he showered for the morning but not before he put some coffee on to start brewing. Now that he was showered and smelling fresh, Colton was dressed in his typical healer clothing. He went into the nursery, and he lifted Gavin out of the crib. He took his beloved son into the kitchen where he had a bottle ready, and he started to feed his son. Colton thought that he had heard some stirring in the bedroom, but he was not too sure. He turned his attention back to Gavin, as Gavin seemed to be enjoying his meal and trying to hold the bottle himself. Colton used magic to have it hover for a moment as he poured himself a glass of coffee too, and he took a sip. He functioned mainly on coffee nowadays. Gavin was fed, and Colton changed him before he settled his son back into the crib. Colton went back out of the nursery, shutting the door behind him as he went back into the kitchen. It was about a half hour before he had to leave for work. He was leaning against the counter, sipping his coffee, just wondering what Gabrielle would think when she woke up from her sleep and noticed the engagement ring on her finger. He was going to propose last night, but Yvo ruined it. In a way, this was a better proposal, and it was quiet and subtle, like himself.

Gabrielle Kovac · Nov 16, 2011

Gabrielle smiled to herself softly as she began to wake up, feeling more comfortable and satisfied than she had been in the longest time. Her heart was literally feeling as if it wanted to burst with joy. It was such a romantic night. Dinner, candlelight, and then there was what happened behind closed doors once Gabrielle convinced Colton to cheer up after being interrupted by his brother. It didn't take her long either to get him feeling better. That absolutely made her night too, because they finished it off with just as much love and romance as they had started it with. Gabrielle was living one of those dream lives every girl wanted, even her mother probably desired them in some form. She had the perfect job, a perfect guy who loved her for her, and the worlds most precious baby. Gabrielle had a little family. It was all her own. It was also one that she didnt intend to share with anyone else. With another sigh of contentment Gabrielle opened her eyes and took a peek around the bedroom. Technically it was only Coltons room but since she ended up getting lonely when she tried to sleep in her own room, she sort of moved into his. Gabrielle had become very accustomed to sleeping next to her love. He kept her warm, and he made her feel protected. A small amount of sunlight peeked through the blinds and Gabrielle went to cover her eyes instantly due to the fact that light hallways bothered her when she first started to wake up. Her hand met with her face but an uncomfortable pointy and metal object ended up meeting as well. Ouch! Gabrielle muttered under her breath. Whatever it was, it hurt pretty badly. Carefully she extended her hand out to see what it was that had poked her. As soon as she did this though, a shocked gasped hitched in her throat. Upon her left ring finger, which happened to hold a strong significance to anyone who knew what that meant. A ring such as this upon that finger was in blunt terms, an engagement ring. It was absolutely beautiful. It glittered in the light. There were plenty of diamonds on it as well. Gabrielle could tell straight away that it most likely very expensive. More expensive that she would have wanted it to be. That ring wasnt there last night. So what happened? Gabrielle lifted her body up immediately and held the sheets to her nude body carefully. Colton was nowhere to be seen. Gabrielle looked at the clock and figured that he must be getting ready for work. Did he ask her to marry him last night? Was this all a dream or some joke? Maybe Colton was just buying her a ring and failed to pay attention to where he put it on at? Gabrielle so dearly wished she could remember. There was no way he could actually want to marry her was there?

Deciding to ask him, she lifted the covers up gently and searched for some clothes. She ended up deciding to wear a white and blue floral summer dress; it was something simple but quite cute. She didnt bother to brush her hair or anything because she was too distracted on trying to think on what she wanted to say to Colton, or rather ask him. For a moment she stepped into Gavins room. He had already been fed and stuff so he was taking an early morning nap. Colton sometimes tended to him in the morning so he could get his quality time in with his son and to make it easier for Gabrielle to get her rest, he was such an amazing guy! Gabrielle left the nursery and made her way into the kitchen where Colton was, drinking his coffee as usual. For a minute she just stared, and stared, and stared. It was like she was either thinking or terrified. Inside she was a flurry of emotions. What was she going to say to him that didnt involve her crying? Her stomach panged in hunger and Gabrielle bit her lip. He was waiting for an answer wasnt he? That is if the ring on her finger was really for engagement and not anything else. Opening her mouth she finally figured she should say something, but what came out of her mouth was not quite what she expected to. Do you really want to get married? Damn she was supposed to ask him if that was an engagement ring. Now if he wanted to marry her, that would mean she was assuming on what it was. Gabrielles eyes were full of questioning and she looked almost a bit flustered and nervous. Well she was actually a bit nervous. Never in her life did she expect to see a ring on her finger. But here it was. Of course she wanted to say yes! Why wouldnt she. She was just unsure if that was what he wanted and if he was ready to take this step like he thought he was.

Colton Kovac · Dec 3, 2011

Colton was very cautious about this morning, drinking his coffee like he would any other morning, even though this morning was different than the rest because he had slipped on the engagement ring onto Gabrielle's finger in the night. Colton was sure that if she woke up this morning before he left, she would be questioning him with everything else. Colton remained where he was, and he continued to drink his coffee that assisted in making him function. Sleeping next to Gabrielle right now really sounded good but he did have to work a long shift today, and he was dreading it because he wanted to stay home with Gabrielle Snow. Why did he have to work today? He did not want to. "This day needs to go by completely fast," said Colton to himself. Gavin would need his dad around too, and he was most certain that Gabrielle would want Colton around the child a lot, but he would need to tend to the household too. Supplying galleons was not an easy task. Colton heard something in the bedroom and thought that Gabrielle was starting to wake up. He had been awake for a while now, but it was something he did, waking up before dawn to shower and everything due to the fact that he was a morning riser. Colton loved waking up in the morning because it made him feel better. He definitely heard footsteps and thought that Gabrielle was getting up from the bed, and she was waking up. He did not hear her scratch her face with her ring, but he turned toward the stove and figured that he should be getting to making some breakfast. Colton started to fry some bacon and some bagels seeing as he was getting a little hungry himself. He would fix Gabrielle something as well, thinking that some warm breakfast would brighten her mood up even more. He was sure that she would be surprised to see the ring on her finger. Colton set his coffee mug to the side, and he reached up to get a few plates as he perfected the bacon. He finished the bagels, and he set them on two plates, along with some bacon. That was a good breakfast in his opinion. He smiled a little bit to himself because it was obviously one of the better things to do in the morning. Colton poured himself another glass of coffee because he needed some more. He did not want to start yawning and everything at work. That would show disrespect, but who could blame him after after a child, and then taking care of Gavin with everything that he could muster. Everything he was doing was going toward Gavin Castiel Kovac and Gabrielle. Buying her an expensive ring, and then perhaps if she said yes, then he would have to save up for a nice wedding too. He was sure that she would want everything to be perfect, and he was here to deliver it.

The moment that Gabrielle showed up in the kitchen, Colton looked toward her, and he could see that she was wearing this beautiful summer dress, and he could not resist smiling. 'She is so beautiful,' thought the Healer with a light blush attached to his cheekbones. However for a while, they just stared at each other, and by the look of things, she seemed surprised that he had put a ring onto her finger, and she was speechless. Colton was currently waiting for what she would say, but he wondered how she would word it, if it would be pleasant or if she would throw the ring at him. That was the whole purpose of hearing that she loved him, to see if she would accept the proposal, because he was tired of being girlfriend and boyfriend, he wanted to be her husband one day. When she asked if he really wanted to get married, he let out a sigh, and he set his cup of coffee to the counter. He approached her, and pressed his lips to her forehead before he spoke, softly, taking her left hand into his own, "Yes. I had been waiting for the moment, and it came last night. I was pissed at Yvo for ruining it, but I thought that, the moment doesn't not have to be perfect, as long as I have you in my life, anytime is perfect." Colton took a few steps from her, before he set the breakfast in front of her, hoping that she would eat it later on. He would take his to work with him. He took another drink of his coffee before he turned to her, and he smiled even more. He inquired, very softly, "So, I want to get married to you, but the question is, would you like to get married to me?" He was hoping that the answer was yes because he did not think that he could take a rejection, and he felt that it was time. However when they would be married is the question, but one step at a time, because Colton would freak out otherwise.

Gabrielle Kovac · Dec 19, 2011

Gabrielle was still very overwhelmed by all of this. It was a good feeling though, because Gabrielle knew Colton loved her. He loved her enough to even want her to marry him. When Gabrielle was younger her caretaker used to tell her that she would make a very pretty bride. It was no big deal back then though. Gabrielle would have preferred to go outside and play with the other kids then listen to the old woman talk about marriages and handsome men. She must have known what she was talking about when she said this though because years later here was her handsome man. Gabrielle was happy to have met him, even if the circumstances were a little bit grave. Even now she still felt bad for yelling at him that day, she didn't have much of a right to. He was only trying to help. But if she hadn't been like she was then she might not have had the experience of being with Colton like she was right now, things might have been totally different if she had been kind and quiet during her visit there. It was a miracle that he had volunteered to teach her more healing, and even more of a miracle that he had asked her to go out on a date with him. Their relationship with one another had gone very smoothly and for the most part, traditional. Minus the fact the fact that their first child was born out of wedlock. But that part didn't matter to Gabrielle because she loved her son. He was the most perfect baby. He looked like his dad too. Which gave Gabrielle even more of a reason to adore her son, he was practically a mini Colton. "Colton...." Gabrielle drawled off when she saw that he had been making breakfast too. Could he possibly be any more sweet? Knowing him there was an ultimate possibility that he could. He had given her the ring, took care of the baby, made her food, that was certainly enough to keep her happy for a lifetime. Gabrielle paused in her thoughts and realized that she hadn't even finished her sentence. Which probably looked bad because he was waiting for her answer wasn't he? Her decision on whether she wanted to marry him or not. Surprisingly enough he wanted to ask her last night. But Yvo had ruined it by appearing when he did. Gabrielle wondered if Yvo had arrived just as Colton was about to pull out the ring too because Gabrielle did recall him looking as if he was going to reach into his pocket during that time. She didn't blame for Colton being upset if that had been the case. But hopefully her being intimate with him cheered him up a little bit. He seemed happier. Gabrielle looked down at the breakfast plate and figured she would eat the food soon. But right now she needed to spend time with her man. Without even another word to him Gabrielle stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him in a loving hug. Her head burying itself into his upper chest for a moment.

"I never thought that you would..." Once again she didn't finish what she was going to say. Gabrielle wanted to tell him that she never thought he would love her enough to want to marry her. Even Gabrielle could admit, she was difficult at times. But she was happy. Having Colton as her husband one day instead of just being her boyfriend sounded wonderful. He would make a wonderful husband too. He worked a decent job, he sometimes cooked, he helped take care of the baby, and he was also very loving and romantic when he wanted to be too. He was perfect and Gabrielle considered herself lucky to have him. Breathing out against him she knew she needed to give him an answer. "Of course I want to marry you." She admitted as she pulled her head away from his chest but remained hugging him tightly. How could he think that she would ever say no? So now that she had accepted, did it mean they were officially engaged? Gabrielle felt like a child almost because she had no idea about anything beyond this point. Especially when it came to planning a wedding. All she knew was that she needed to have a date. With the rest she had no idea what to do. She would probably have to ask help from Vincent and Alyssa or her mother. Would Colton know? Gabrielle grew nervous about planning a wedding. "Do you have to go to work today? Please tell me you don't." Gabrielle asked as she looked up at him. Hopefully he didn't because she honestly just wanted to cuddle with him and stuff. He just asked her to marry him so she felt that a romantic lazy day was in the works. She had the next few days off luckily. But it wasn't going to be any fun if her man wasn't there to spend it with her.

Colton Kovac · Jan 9, 2012

Colton hoped that he was not going to be rejected. He had heard that once a proposal was rejected, the relationship never lasted long after that. That was the last thing that he wanted, but he did truly want to marry Gabrielle Snow, make her his bride and have her in his life until the day he died. He cared so much for her, hell he was in love, so that would be why he would want to marry her. And it would bring the small family that they had going right now with Gavin closer together, and they all would share the same last name. From the moment he had met her, he did not think that he would be standing here right now, proposing in an off-handed way but one that was unique as well. He started to wonder how she had discovered that ring upon her finger. Colton hoped that the ring had not hurt her somehow, and started to feel slightly bad even though it would have been hilarious to see her face. Things had certainly changed between them, and Colton could still not believe that he was a father, and he was with the most perfect girl in the world, despite the fact that they had broken up for three months, and during that three months she had been pregnant with Gavin, and the child had lived while the others had not. Colton would have loved to have kept them all, but no one could also replace Gavin in his heart because he was sure if the others had not died, then Gavin would not have been formed, and they would have lost the opportunity to know who he was. Colton still missed the others, but he did not know how to completely move on other than just honor them and pay them respect. He heard his name passed through her lips, and he looked upon his love with his chocolate brown eyes. He was waiting for an answer but he was not expecting one right away. He knew how Gabrielle was, and Colton could respect her hesitation, even though it did worry him to an extent, but he was sure that whatever happened, it would be for a good reason. Perhaps they were too young to marry? Colton did not think so. He was not seventeen, and it had been a long time since he was seventeen. Marriage seemed ideal right now, but he was not about to elope either. He wanted a great wedding, one that would make Gabrielle cry in happiness, and one that would make others envious. He did want someone to envy him because he had the best girl in the world, and he had the happiest family despite them having their ups and downs. Colton took another drink of his coffee, the substance that kept him running every morning right before he went to work. He was going to have to go to work today, no matter what happened. She did not even say anything before she approached Colton and gave him a hug. Setting his cup down on the counter, he wrapped his arms around her, before he nuzzled his face into her blonde hair. If she knew how much he loved her, her heart would probably burst.

The healer heard the words that she said, but she did not finish again, and he looked down upon her. Her thoughts were quite similar to his own, he never thought that he would ever love anyone enough to get married, but alas he was eating his own words that he had said perhaps when he was fourteen. He never thought that he would be the marrying type, but he was, and he apparently wanted to marry Gabrielle. His brothers might think that he was nuts, but he did not care. They could both stay out of his business, he did not even have the same mother as they did. Right now he was angry at Yvo for more than just one thing, and that was the first time that Colton had ever threatened someone like that, and the first time that he did not storm out over being mad at Adrian. Adrian went through the same thing as he did. Brown met blue when she said that she would want to marry him. He could not even fight the grin that spread across his lips. They were officially engaged! He could tell everyone at work on what they had done, even though very few knew about his plans anyway. He had bought the ring about a month ago, and was planning on the perfect moment to give it to her. Colton could wait on a date on when they could tie the knot. He leaned down and gave her a soft, lingering kiss upon her lips, the very ones that he loved so much to taste. He pulled away, and then he heard her question before his grin faltered into his usual blank expression. Oh boy, she did not want him to go to work but he had to. It was not like he had any other choice. Colton pulled from her embrace and he motioned toward his clothing, what he wore to work. "Unfortunately I do have to work. But it is only for a six hour shift. I will be home before you can even miss me. But I have to leave in about ten minutes before I am late." Colton hated to leave her disappointed, but they had all the time in the world to themselves. They were going to be together forever and always. It was a great feeling to have.

Gabrielle Kovac · Jan 25, 2012

Gabrielle couldn't hide her disappointment. This morning had been so perfect, and the fact that Colton had to leave in ten minutes really killed the mood. She actually wanted to spend the afternoon with him. In her mind, she figured that another romantic day would be in store for the two of them due to the fact that they were newly engaged and Colton's proposal was just the sweetest. But his job seemed to have better plans for the two of them. What a mood killer. She pouted for a moment as she pulled her body up to the counter and sat down on top of it. She didn't blame Colton though, nor did she really blame St. Mungos for destroying her afternoon either, much. It was kind of easy to see how much Colton enjoyed his job sometimes. So he probably didn't mind going as often as he did. Gabrielle didn't mind her job either. But sometimes she got really creepy patients that made it hard feel comfortable when checking to make sure they were healthy and healed to their former glory. Gabrielle's shortened legs dangled off the side of the counter and for a moment she didn't look at Colton but instead stared down at the breakfast he had prepared for her. Chances were that if he stayed it wouldn't get eaten anyways because their morning would've continued back in bed. Even if it was just cuddling with their baby, she would've wanted to just remain close to him while relaxing. Now that they were engaged, they had a lot of things ahead of them. Like deciding on a wedding date and how big they wanted the wedding. There would also be things like the flowers or the dress. They were going to be busy with all of this once they decided to actually plan out the wedding. Gabrielle worried about telling her mother but she knew at one point that her mother would find out either way. So it was just the task of deciding whether she should tell in person or write her. It would be wise to do it in the way that had little confrontation. What if her mother wanted to meet Colton? That made Gabrielle more nervous than anything. Breathing out Gabrielle pulled Colton close to her, so she could rest her head on his chest while still sitting on the counter. Ten minutes wasn't nearly enough time to cuddle with him as much as he wanted. As soon as he left Gabrielle would likely turn to Gavin for her company. He loved to cuddle so long as he wasn't moody. Six hours is a long time, hun. Just saying. Promise me that when you get home tonight you'll spend the night with me though, please? Well he lived with her so of course he would spend the night with her. But she meant like cuddling, or literally spending time together doing stuff instead of him working on his potions or something else he might need to do. They needed to celebrate. Glancing at the clock she leaned up and place a soft kiss on his lips before she made him back up so she could get off the counter. She retreated to Gavin's room before she returned with her son in her arms. Gavin didn't look too pleased but she figured he might as well get up sometime so he would let his parents sleep tonight.

Gavin seemed transfixed with the shiny new ring upon his mother's finger, it was really cute actually. She just hoped that he didn't try to stick it into his mouth. Gavin will keep me company while you're gone. Even if he is being a grumpy butt right now. Gavin was a miniature version of Colton in looks. Gabrielle was jealous on how much he looked like his daddy and how little he looked like her. Alyssa's baby was the same way. Chacen looked more like Vincent than he did Alyssa. The only baby that really got picturesque Snow features was Theodore's daughter who looked a lot like he did, but since he was a guy Gabrielle wasn't sure if he counted or not. However, Gavin was such a shy baby. He threw fits whenever someone other than she or Colton held him. He seemed to like Alyssa too but that ay be due to the Veela charm. Other than that he was not a people person. He got moody easily too, like right now. He rested his head against Gabrielle's shoulder and stared at his father tiredly. Poor baby. She knew he had already been up this morning because he wasn't whining about being hungry when she had gotten him. But he must have had some trouble sleeping last night if he was already tired. Gabrielle wondered if she could get Gavin to be responsive to Colton but he looked cranky. Do you need some more coffee before you go? I'll get you some if you'd like. Gabrielle offered as she sat Gavin down and went to go pour herself some juice. Coffee was okay every once and awhile but it sometimes made her jittery and too hyper to sleep and function as well as it helped Colton.

Colton Kovac · Feb 26, 2012

Colton knew that him going to work was going to have to disappoint the morning, but there was not much he could do about it. He had to go to work. It was his responsibility. Colton shrugged once before he looked down at his floor before he brushed his brunette hair aside. He hated having to do this to his now fiance. This was something that he had not planned on happening in the morning but in the evening the previous night. When she said it was a mood killer, and how she pouted, Colton approached her before he leaned in and gave her a lingering, affectionate kiss. It was the least that he could do. Colton smiled gently, "We have all the time in the world to spend together. Six hours won't be anything compared to eternity." Colton was feeling rather sad about having to leave too, but it was not much he could do on it. He would have to get started on telling others that he would be planning a wedding date for himself and Gabrielle, and how he would need to get down to invitations. The only thing he hoped for was that Gabrielle would have some help with her siblings on getting a wedding dress and all those girl things. Like Xavier's wife, and Alyssa. Jezebella and Alyssa, they should be able to help her. He stroked Gabrielle's back, as she leaned against his chest. He smiled softly, and he closed his brown eyes. "I promise that I will as soon as I get home." He would do just that. It was not like he was going to leave off somewhere. He normally came back home, and spent time with Gabrielle and his son. He did not want to miss time with Gavin. Ever. Colton watched as Gabrielle got off of the counter and went into their son's room, before she came out with Gavin in her arms. Colton looked down at Gabrielle before he chuckled. Their son looked rather grumpy right now. Colton took great pride that his son looked like him. What father would not? Colton walked over to his son before he gave him a kiss upon his soft forehead. Colton grinned over at Gabrielle before he said, "No, I'll be fine. Just take care of yourself, and Gavin. We will celebrate our engagement tonight." He gave her one more kiss before he apparated off to Saint Mungo's before he was late on the job.
