"I don't suppose anyone took pictures-"

"Dammit Dominic, shut up," Bronagh snapped to a smirking Nico.

"It wasn't that bad... besides he let me off with a warnin', it was a success."

I rolled my eyes then jumped when I felt arms come around me from behind.

"Hi," Alec whispered in my ear.

I smiled. "Hey."

"How's the pup?"

I beamed. "He is great. The doctor said we can take him home in three or four days."

"I'm tellin' you all that dog is fakin' it."

"He was shot Aideen, give him a break."

I walked over and high fived Kane. "Thank you."

Aideen glared at Kane. "You keep out of this, germinator."

I smiled while Kane growled in annoyance.

He has been sick the past two weeks, so Aideen dubbed him " The Germinator" and he hates it.

"Leave him alone," Branna frowned and hugged Kane.

Kane grinned and hugged Branna tightly. "Yeah, leave me alone."

Ryder glared at Kane and shook his head.

"I'll serve dinner now that everyone is here," Branna said.

"Praise Jesus!" Nico shouted.

"Would you stop? You eat every five minutes, you're not starvin'."

Nico groaned. "Stop watching what I eat and how often I eat, it's driving me insane woman."

"Like Marco insane?" I asked.

Alec burst out laughing.

"Not that insane," Nico smirked to me.

"Keela."

I looked at Alec and walked over to him when he nodded for me to.

"What?"

"Hi," he smiled.

I chuckled. "Hey."

"I got you something."

I smiled. "You did?"

Alec nodded and reached into his pocket and took out a small black box.

"Oh my God!"

He got down on one knee.

"Oh my God!"

He held opened the box and revealed a beautiful diamond ring.

"Oh my God!"

He smiled.

"I didn't ask you properly the first time, so I wanted to do it right this time."

"Oh my God!"

Silence.

"Keela Daley, I love you and I'll spend the rest of my life proving just how much I cherish you. Only you. Not even your girl crush to-do list can get in on this. Will you marry me kitten?"

I laughed.

Would I marry Alec?

"Hell yes!" I replied.

Cheers erupted from behind us as Alec slid my engagement ring onto my finger. He stood up, took my face in his hands and kissed the daylights out of me.

When we broke apart, the girls attacked me while Alec's brothers slapped hands and hugged him.

"Congratulations!"

I hugged all the girls, then the brothers.

"Can I call you sis now since you're going to be my sister-in-law?" Nico asked me.

"You can call me whatever you want to."

Nico grinned and just as he opened his mouth, Bronagh whacked him across the back of the head.

"I wasn't going to say anything!"

Bronagh grinned. "Good."

Nico grumbled under his breath then grabbed Bronagh by her arse and pulled her down onto a kitchen chair with him.

I laughed at them then stared down at my ring.

It was beautiful.

"Do you like it?" Aideen asked when she popped up beside me.

"I love it."

"Good, because I helped pick it out."

I shoved her. "You're so sneaky."

She grinned and gave me a hug.

"You know you're me maid of honour, right?"

Aideen began jumping up and down excitedly and so did Bronagh and Branna when I told them I wanted them as bridesmaids.

"You have it easy," Alec said to me when I found him in the home gym a few minutes later.

"How?"

"I have to pick a best man out of four brothers. No matter who I pick, the bastard will rub it in the face of the other three."

I chuckled. "You're brothers, it's to be expected."

Alec sighed then kissed my head when I put my arms around him.

"I'm nervous about seeing your mom tonight, how do you think she will take the engagement news?"

I shrugged. "I don't care how she takes it, we're happy and that's all that matters."

I leaned up to kiss Alec when suddenly Aideen graced us with her presence.

"I have to give you the talk, Slater."

Alec looked up from me to look at Aideen and grinned. "What kind of talk?"

"The don't-hurt-me-friend-or-I'll-kill-you talk."

Alec nodded his head. "Ah, that talk."

I snorted.

"I like you Alec you're a good lad, but if you ever harm me friend in anyway, I will kick you so hard between the legs that your balls will be picking your balls out of your teeth for a week. We clear on that?"

Alec stared wide eyed at Aideen for a moment then flicked his eyes to me and whispered, "Was I just threatened by a leprechaun?"

I nodded my head.

Yes, yes you were.

Alec turned back to Aideen and hesitantly smiled. "Crystal clear, beautiful."

Aideen grinned. "Flattery doesn't work on me, blue eyes. Remember that."

"How about chocolate... does that work?" Alec asked.

Aideen froze then murmured, "Dairy Milk, Carmel."

I laughed. "So it's okay for him to hurt me once you get chocolate off him?"

"But it's Dairy Milk, Carmel... that chocolate is amazin'. World war could be forgiven with that chocolate."

I shook my head and laughed.

Aideen frowned. "I'm a bad friend."

"Go help Branna with dishin' out dinner, crazy."

Aideen smiled then pranced off into the kitchen.

"She drives Kane crazy."

"Only because he wants her and can't have her."

Alec laughed. "True."

I smiled up ask Alec and he sighed.

"You know something?"

"What?"

"I love you to Neptune and back."

My heart warmed as I laughed. "You mean you love me to the Moon and back?"

Alec shook his head. "Nah, Neptune is the furthest planet from Earth in our solar system so the greater the distance, the greater my love."
