[Paris] Beneath the Stars (Adaline)

Kai was so glad to be completed with school but he was even more glad to have a lovely lady and a handsome little man by his side as he did so. After graduation, he had given Adaline her very own key to a tiny little townhouse that he had saved up for since finding out about Silas. It had taken him months of hard labour and his parents had eventually agreed to help him out because they were proud of him for stepping up as the father of Silas. Really, when thought about it was a graduation gift to the both of them.

Now, the day that Kai had been waiting for had finally arrived. He had asked her father for his daughter's hand in marriage as a proper way of doing hings but he also let him know he was to marry her whether he gave his okay or not - to his excitement he said yes. He had told Adaline that they were to take Silas to Disneyland in Paris and they did. However now that the sun had set, Kai took Adaline out to a romantic picnic on the grounds in front of the Eiffel Tower. Silas was fast asleep in his pushchair as the two ate and sipped on some champagne. Kai started up conversations about anything and everything under the sun but all the while he thought of the small navy blue velvet box in his coat pocket.

They had been together for over a year now and time had seemed to fly by. What was even more important was that time with Silas was flying by. In just two weeks he was going to be six months and Kai couldn't believe it, even though Adaline had warned him that babies grew up fast. Kai loved his son, his namesake. Every morning he woke up to his bright blue eyes and listened to his babbles. It truly was a great experience and he couldn't have been happier to give up partying.

As he glanced at his girlfriend and hopefully soon to be fiancee, he couldn't help but think about what Travis would be saying if he were still alive. Taking a deep breath, Kai grabbed Adaline's hand and kissed it. He pulled her to a standing position just as the nightly fireworks began and pointed up to the sky. He used it as his distraction to slip the small box from his pocket and get down on one knee before she turned to see where he had gone. "Adaline Aurora Harris," his voice shook a bit, "would you do Silas and I the honour of taking our last name and becoming my wife? I promise to love you and cherish you for as long as we both shall live." He gave her a smile as he waited for her answer.

The Ring:

The first time Kai had slept with Adaline he knew there was something different about her but what he didn't know was that she would become pregnant and that they would fall in love resulting in a marriage and their own home. He didn't ever think he'd have his own family, nor was it ever actually a plan until his seventh year at Hogwarts. Only then had he really begun to grow even more serious about his relationship with Adaline and his son.

He realised he needed to grow up, he needed to be a man and support his girlfriend and their impending arrival whether he wanted to or not. Kai was one who knew the difference between right and wrong and reality and fun. It didn't mean they necessarily could never go out and party again. It didn't mean the couldn't drink ever again but it did mean that neither of them could sleep around because Kai didn't tolerate cheating. Though that never seemed to be an issue as they loved staying inside with their son and each other.

He knew his proposal was probably cheesy and cliche but by Adaline's tears and priceless reaction, he knew that it was just perfect for her. At her answer, he took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her left ring finger before standing up and allowing her to plow into him. His arms went around her in a tight hug and once she finally looked up at him, his lips met hers in a kiss.

"I can't promise you the world, but I can promise you that I will do my very best to make sure your's and Silas' needs are met and that you both always know that you are loved." He smiled down at her, his arms still wrapped around her waist his lips planting a kiss on top of her head. He was being sappy and he needed to quit it because Kai wasn't sappy.
