Why Did It Have To Be You?

I pull out my phone and go to video call her. She answers right away. “Dang, you couldn’t even wait until Friday to show me the bracelet?” I can tell I am grinning like an idiot and I just shake my head no. “Alrighty now. Let’s see it.”

I turn the camera around but instead of showing her my new bracelet that I never got, I hold out my hand and show her the huge rock on my finger.

There is silence for a moment and then “Holy fucking shit! Is that what I think it is?”

I turn the camera around again so she can see me and Dean. “We’re engaged!”

Ally squeals and we both scream excitedly for a moment. Then Ally is crying. “Oh, my little baby is all grown up.” Of course then I start crying. After a few seconds Dean pipes up. “Alright ladies that’s enough. This is supposed to be a happy occasion.” We all laugh.

Then suddenly Ally screams out. “Oh my god! Please tell me you haven't told anyone else yet.”

“You’re the first one, why?”

Ally smirks. “Well, I do think I remember you promised me when you and Dean got married one day, I’d be the one to get to tell Brian you are going to be his stepmommy.”

We all laugh. We talk for a few more minutes, and then I hang up the phone. I look over to Dean and smile. Even though our story started so complicated, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Yeah, so it’s a little weird I’m technically going to be my ex boyfriend's stepmom, but I love our little family and all its weirdness. Dean keeps glancing my way, so I ask, “What are you thinking about?”

Dean gives me one of his devilish smirks. “Just how much I want to rip that dress off you when we get back.” I bite my lip and smile back at him. Oh yeah. This is going to be one good life.

The End
