“You said it not me.” He joked as he got back to his feet. “I didn’t want to assume anything. You can wear whatever you want. It’s your wedding day. Mum’s going to be thrilled. I think she was looking forward to that part more than even a grandchild. She watches all those sappy rom coms and shopping for the bridal gown is like a rite of passage. She had boys so I think she was afraid she’d never get to do it.” He scooped her up and carried her over to the couch and sitting down. “I love you too. You, Arlo, Abel. I think from now on we should just share birthdays. All of us. It’s not just one persons birthday it’s everyone’s. We all get presents. Though I’m sure the kids will insit on the most presents and a party.”

“As much as I enjoy a good power suit, I think I’ll pass when it comes to our nuptials. I’m not always old fashioned, but I am when it comes to that,” she told him with a smile. “Really?” she questioned, a bit shocked. She knew first hand how much his mother had been looking forward to Ben giving her a grandchild. But it made sense, she thought, once he’d reminded her of the fact that she’d had all boys. “Wait,” she said, big eyes staring up at him seriously, “Does this mean I get to have my very one movie montage dress moment in real life? My dream come true!” she teased, before a small giggled escaped her as she was suddenly in his arms and on the couch. Reaching out, she lazily ran her hands through his hair. “Oh god, Ben” she laughed at the thought of it. “You’re really just trying to make sure they’re extra spoiled, huh?”

Ben slipped the ring on her finger before standing back up. “I love you so much. I have my parents on a flight out here tomorrow. My mum’s excited. She can’t wait to have a daughter finally. I think she really wants to go dress shopping or suit shopping whatever you feel like wearing. She won’t ask though because she doesn’t want to impose but she keeps asking what you’re wearing. My dad wants to know what music we’ll have. I told him he can play the piano but it has to be rolling stones.” He laughed. “I’m nto sure but this might just be one of the best birthday’s I’ve ever had. I mean my fifth birthday is pretty close because I got this really awesome ride on mustang. The car not the horse. Though that would have been great too. Gonna have to look into that for Arlo and Abel.”

The ring was gorgeous, and just her style. Sometimes it was like they’d been together forever -- he just knew her that well. She smiled up at him, nodding her head, listening to all the plans he’d been making. She chuckled, “I just think it’s funny you threw in a suit for me as an option. Between the two of us, you know you look better in a suit, so I’ll leave that to you. And I’d love to have your mom shop with me.” she told him. Not having a mother of her own, she’d basically gone it alone in her first marriage. She couldn’t help but think how nice it would be to have someone so interested in all of it. Hearing how excited and interested his dad was made it all even better. She was beaming up at him when he went on about his past birthdays. “I love you,” she said, “I love us, our family. I almost feel like it’s my birthday. Good to know that I can beat out a Mustang, though.”

Ben had been standing in the living room, exchanging messages with his parents and assisstant setting things up for them to fly out here. Hearing the door open he put his phone away and waited for his girlfriend to come find him. Wrapping his arms around her he smiled and shook his head. “Technically I floated the idea. I didn’t actually ask you. Asking you over a text is a terrible idea and my mum would have my head.” Stepping back he reached under the hood of the piano and pulled out a ring box. Turning back to her he grinned and got down on one knee. “This is how you propose.” Opening the ring box he took a breath. “Leighton Marissa Meester I have loved you since the moment I met you. There was always something pulling me towards you but I was stubborn and blind and it took me a little longer to see what was in front of me. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You, Arlo, Abel and all the babies we have in the future. You are my family and I am yours. Forever. Will you please let me be selfish here and marry me so I can wake up every morning for the rest of my life knowing I have the best wife in the entire world?”

“I don’t care if you asked me over email, Ben.” she told him truthfully. He wasn’t wrong, but the girl couldn’t help getting caught up in it all. They’d been heading down this path since they’d gotten together. But still, the idea of moving forward, taking the next logical step excited the actress. Watching him, she was shocked he’d already had a ring. But leave it to Ben to be so prepared, even if it had caught her off guard. Listening to his word, she couldn’t help the few soundless tears that made their way down her face. How did he always know just what to say and when to say them, she thought. But she didn’t question it too hard. Why should she? If anything, she told herself she was just going to have to get use to the fact that he was basically perfect. And she was going to be lucky enough to spend the rest of her life with him. Shaking her head yes, a light laugh escaped her lips. “Ben....” she said. It was now that she was regretful she wasn’t great with words, the way he was. “Yes. I mean...of course, yes.” she said, still laughing, having a hard time trying to find better words then the obvious.

Getting out of the car having dropped Arlo off with Adam, Leighton couldn’t help the butterflies she’d felt in her stomach. The last year had been just about a dream. She hadn’t even been aware that she could even be this happy, since she never had been. But things with Ben had just come so easy, so natural. The way he was with Arlo and now Abel just cemented the fact she already knew, was that she wanted to be like this forever. So naturally the next step was marriage. She’d pretty much knew she wanted to be with the man since she met him, the timing had been off. But it wasn’t anymore. Walking into the house they shared, she first stopped in to briefly check on her napping son. Creeping back out, she went to find Ben. Phone in hand, still opened to the texts they’d been exchanging, her smile grew as soon as she found him. Without words, she basically threw herself at him. Arms wounding around his neck, fingers creeping up to run her hands through the back of his hair, not being able to control the small giggle that followed shortly after. Slowly pulling away to look at him, leaning her forehead against his, she spoke “Did you just ask me to marry you?” @ben-t-barnes

Ben: I was thinking we should get married. I know that's not exactly how a guy is supposed to propose but I can do it properly but I just kind of want to see where your head is at with it. I love you and I want us to be a family. We don't have to make a thing of it. We can do it at the house. Just us and the kids. My parents will fly in and they can be our witnesses. An at home elopment. Please Abel would not be dragged. He'll do anything she tells him too. He loves her so much.

Leight: Where my heads at? Ben...do you really think we live in a world where I'd say no? Because I'm not sure I could ever say no to you about anything, which is kind of scary but I tend to try not to overthink it. I've never had much of a family, you know this. And ever since we've been together...I dunno. I guess I've just wanted to be the one to give you everything you've wanted because you've given me the things I've been craving for most of my life. The details don't matter much to me, I just know that I wanna be your wife. Because I want this whole forever thing with you.

Ben: You did give me the best early birthday present ever. Nothing will ever top it. Nothing. Although I have been having a thought lately. Oh I'm sure. I mean she has three very dramatic parents. It's bound to be over the top.

Leight: I'm swooning over here, are you sure it's not my birthday? You're attractive AND you have thoughts in your head? What a guy! What're these thoughts you've been having? You're not wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if she drags poor Abel into it, too.

Ben: Never.

Ben: I wasn't but we can pretend.

Ben: I just need you and the kids. We can order in food and watch musicals, dance, have cake. Be a family. That's the best gift I could ever get. I've wanted a family for so long and now I have one. There is nothing on this earth that could make me any happier than I am now. I can't wait to see what she's got up her sleeve.

Leight: You make me question daily on how you're so perfect. Just so you know. That sounds great, I can do that. So basically what you're saying is I gave you the best birthday present ever, early? That's how I'm choosing to take it. I'm sure whatever it is, it's over the top.

Ben: You are amazing.

Ben: Oh good. I was worried for a second.

Ben: Is it boring of me to say I just want a nice day at home with my gorgeous girlfriend and kids?

Leight: You're gonna give me a big head if you don't watch it.

Leight: You were not.

Leight: Maybe a little. But that's okay because that means I'm boring too since that sounds like a great idea to me. Arlo has been working working on your present since I told her earlier. I'm not allowed to know what it is. But are you sure you don't want anything specail or specific? I feel like I'm dropping the ball here if I don't do something more then just be here.

Ben: Aww I love you so much.

Leight: Of course you do, I'm amazing!

Leight: I love you back, by the way.

Leight: But back to the issue at hand, what do you wanna do for your birthday?

Ben: I didn't know it was Ryan Reynolds birthday. I'll have to send out a tweet.

Leight: Benji!

Leight: Ryan Reynolds has nothing on you!

Txt→Benji

Ben: Really? Who?

Leight: I'm blanking on his name right now, but he's very attractive. By far the best looking guy I've ever seen. And really charming and smooth to boot. I hear he can easily charm the pants right off women and men alike. But on top of all that? Probably his most attractive quality though? Seeing him be a dad. Wowowowow. He's basically perfect.

Leight: Still can't seem to remember his name though...

Txt→Benji

Leight: Pretty sure someone has a birthday coming up...
