Violet POV

As weeks flown by, I've been getting the amount of support that I need from Jason and Aubree of course, but mainly Jason since he has been improving so much since the funeral.

He let go of the grief and celebrates with happiness, remembering the good things about her and how she has done for Jason and Jessica.

Jason is different now, which makes my heart filled with bliss and warmth. I've never been so happy to see how much he changed over the past few weeks.

''Okay, let's do a final touch, right here,'' Jessica said, placing a Fenty Beauty gloss-bomb on my lips. ''Wow, Violet, you're so breath-taking,'' she tears up.

''Please, don't cry, you're going to make me cry Jes.''

''I'm sorry, it's...been hard for all of us and you have been the light of the tunnel for Jason and I want to say thank you.''

''It's my pleasure.''

Jessica snuggled in, "You're the only person I know that gives indefinite hugs."

I snickered, "Well, love, where else would I rather be?"

A knock echoed through the door and it was Aubree standing there with her full-face of makeup, holding a tag that says ''It's a girl.''

''Are you ladies done? Jason is being a bit antsy,'' she singed, at the antsy part.

''It literally has been an hour and he's freaking out?'' Jessica questioned, jokingly.

''We should go, we don't want to worry him,'' I added.

''Agreed,'' they both said.

We went outdoors at a venue that the girls put together for the baby shower. Everything was beautiful outside. The table setting was set with a rose pink, white, and yellow flowers all over the table, adding with gold utensils.

An orchestra was there, people that I knew and remembered from Vella Empire were there, including Coast Apparel.

I wasn't expecting so many people to come, but it was very refreshing to see the amount of support Jason and I had with our family and friends.

''Well, hello my love,'' Jason said coming to me. He kissed me on the cheek and touched my chin softly. He looked so handsome, wearing a rose long-sleeve shirt along with his khaki jeans and white sneakers.

''Hi, love.''

''You look beautiful.''

''Oh, it's nothing.''

''If I say you're beautiful, then you are beautiful. Got it?'' He smiled.

I laughed and bit my lips. ''Got it.''

''Come with me,'' He said.

''Uh..''

''Come baby,'' He grabs my hand and escorts me to a fountain. Behind the fountain, there was a hallway of white and pink roses with a cursive print on a clear frame ''It's a girl!".

I could still hear the orchestra from afar as they play You & Me by John Legend. Wandering, I looked up and continue to examine the roses, taking a huge breather from this beautiful moment with Jason.

Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream.

Damn, these hormones.

I sniffed and finally said ''Jesus, Jason, why are you the most amazing, caring person-,'' I turned around and jolt, seeing him in one knee with a ring on his hand and the mini-wedding box on the other.

Every emotion is fleeting, every thought gives way to a new one.

"You're on your knee,'' I whispered, knowingly what this means.

''Yes, baby, I'm on my knee,'' he smiled and cleared his throat lightly.

I wish I could turn my tears off, I really do. The teardrop ring was beaming through the sunlight above us, it glowed so radiantly, so alluring; it was hard for me not to look at it.

Jason took a sighed, and clenches his jaw, trying to not cry in front of me.

''I don't know... the exact words to say, but...,'' he was nervous and continued to clear his throat. ''Okay, I'm going to say it.''

He sighs. ''You have inspired me to be the best version of myself. I am grateful for all the laughs we've shared and the great times we have had. You've always been my strength in tough times and the sunshine when its cloudy outside. You have brought so much light into my life. You make everything else feel meaningless because the only thing that matters is you. You're my soul mate and I love you so much. You are the love of my life. Without you, I don't know what I would do. Together, we have created a beautiful world, and I want to continue our journey as long as we both live on this earth, I do not want to waste it without you.

Violet Johnson, will you marry me?''
