1 ONE (1/2)

Veronicas POV

'It's been 5 years since what happened with the Callahans... Just before the funeral, we found out I was pregnant. Nine months later, a little girl, and little boy popped out of me. They're four now. And things with Xander and I have never been better. I do fear the things that could happen with Marie and Abel.. After the funeral I told Xander what happened and the pack house has been on high security ever since, it's to the point now that I don't think anything is going to happen, but Xander is a little paranoid so I've been entertaining the security idea.' I set my pen down on the nightstand beside me and folded a side of the page in my journal down before stuffing it in the drawer.

”Hey, Xanders not supposed to be home tonight right?” Becca had asked as she peaked her head in the door way.

”Yeah he had a pack meeting for the retreat tomorrow with the trainees.” I responded and watched Becca smile before nodding ”ok” and walking out the room. 'What was that smile for?' I asked myself before shrugging it off and grabbing out my soft blue colored night gown and walked into the bathroom quickly taking a shower.

As I walked out of the bathroom I rang out my hair with my towel and looked up to find Xander standing in the middle of the room, a heart of rose petals around him.

”....Hey baby, what's goin on? You're home early.” I said as I walked over to him as he then kissed me on the cheek.

”I told them I'd go back after I did this because I can't wait anymore. And I want to do this right.” He responded as he went down on one knee and I dropped my towel from my hands, almost positive my jaw was on the floor which caused Xander to chuckle.

”You... mean the absolute world to me, and I never should've pushed you away all those years ago. And hell, you gave me two beautiful children that I couldn't live without now that I have them. You're so smart, beautiful, kind, funny, and I was blessed to have you as my mate, and Luna. You are, and always will be my mate and my queen, so now I have to ask....” He paused and reached into the back pocket of his suit.

”Will you, Veronica Malia Snow, accept my rejection?” I felt my body go limp as I passed out on the floor.

-----

”Veronica?! Hey come on, wake up!” Xander was yelling and as I looked up I felt his arms around my body.

”No, no no no, I'm not accepting your rejection! Don't ever say that again....” I said as I clutched his suit jacket, burying my face in his chest.

”Reject you? God, I'd have to be the stupidest man alive to reject you V,” He paused as he took my chin into his hand, lifting my face to meet his eyes.

”I asked if you would marry me...” He said. 'I- I imagined it... He's asking me to marry him!' I thought to myself as I looked down, then back up as his eyes never left me.

”Yes.” I said as a smile came over both our lips, then Xander leaned down and landed a deep kiss on my lips.

”Yay!” we heard as the door swing open and Alexi, Becca, Claire, and Lincoln came barging through.

”Mommy and daddys getting married!” Claire said aloud in her sweet little voice.

”.....Wait, what does it mean to get married?” She then said and Xander stood up, taking my hand helping me up and pulling me flush against his body.

”It means that you bind yourself with another in holy matrimony.” Xander said in response to Claires questions.

”What's matress money?” Lincoln said and Alexi, Xander, Becca, and I couldn't help but laugh.

”Matrimony seetheart.” I said as I picked up Lincoln, while Xander took Claire.

”You'll learn when your older. You too Claire.” I said which caused Xander to look over at me and slightly glare.

”Oh not if I have anything to say about it. I'll introduce any boy that walks through this door to my shotgun.” He said and Claire let out a small giggle.

”No boys.. Ew, gross.” She said and Xander smiled down at her then planted a kiss on her forehead.

”Yes, very good.” Xander said with a tone of approval, then Claire looked up at me as we both shook our heads then laughed.

”Ok V, gimme Lincoln we've got some video games to play.” Alexi said and took Lincoln from my arms.
