Catalina: *breathless* It’s getting late here. C-can we continue the call tomorrow? Yeah, okay bye.
Alfie: *playfully* Done already? I was just getting started.
Catalina: You are in a big trouble, Mr. Frederick.
Alfie: Ooh~ I’m so scared.
Catalina: You’re not sleeping tonight until I’m done with you.
Alfie: Is that a threat, Mrs. Frederick?
Catalina: *scoffs* It’s a promise.
Indirah: Wow, you ordered more than usual. Are you getting the cinnamon roll for Alfie?
Catalina: Huh? This? Nope. They’re mine!
Indirah: Whoa, you must be very hungry. I thought you hate those?
Catalina: I just want to give it a try. They’re not too bad!
Indirah: *chuckles* I’m glad you’re enjoying them then.
[Scene transitions to Lina and Alfie going on an engagement, maybe cutting ribbons for the opening of the children’s library? Alfie reads a book for the children.]
Alfie:…the King fell in love with the Princess after seeing her beauty and asks for her hand in marriage. But the Princess has set several conditions for him before she can agree to his proposal.
Ali: What are the conditions?
Hanna: Yeah! Tell us, Mr. Prince!
Alfie: The Princess’ conditions are; the King must build a golden palace for her to live in and a golden bridge all the way from Mount Belcoast to Mount Silvie for her to walk to and from. She then would also want seven barrels of tears from a young maiden for her to bathe in. And a bowl of the blood of the King’s young heir.
Hope: Whoa! That sounds crazy impossible!
Ali: Right? Why would she give him all that conditions?
Catalina: Well, that’s actually her way of subtly telling him that she doesn’t want to marry him.
Alfie: Exactly. And in the end, the King got the hint and returned to his Kingdom. He’d rather not sacrifice his child just to marry someone.
Hanna: Wah~ The King is a good dad! Just like my appa!
Hope: Tell us more stories, please!
Catalina: You’re going to be a great dad one day, Alfie.
Alfie: Why’d you say that?
Catalina: You’re good with kids. And I know you’re going to be great to our kids.
Catalina: It’s just like a dream I had. You and the children, asleep on the bed after you read them bedtime stories.
Catalina: Just remembering that dream again makes me so happy.
Ginny: *content sigh* This feels like a dream. Everything feels so perfect.
Rainier: Well, if it is. I don’t want to wake up.
Ginny: I can’t wait for our wedding. It’s going to be perfect.
Rainier: I know. I can’t wait too. We’ve waited so long for this.
Ginny: You make me so happy. I don’t deserve you.
Rainier: You do. You deserve everything good in this world.
Rainier: And I’ll continue to make you happy. Until we’re old and grey.

Gardenia Estate, Belcoast (7:56pm)
♫ Music plays in the background ♫
Belle: Dira! Over here!
Belle: We’ve been waiting for you! What took you so long?
Indirah: Sorry for the wait, Aunt Bee. The traffic was quite bad.
Belle: It’s alright. You’re here now. Niamh, you remember Dira, right?
Niamh: Of course~ It’s nice to see you again.
Indirah: Same here.
Niamh: Oh, this is my nephew, Dom. Dom, this is Dira. You went to her brother’s wedding a few years ago with Saoirse and me, remember?
Indirah: Nice to see you here. I didn’t know you were related to Auntie Niamh.
Niamh: Oh? You know each other?
Indirah: I’ve met him several times. He lost his wallet the first time we met and he also got lost in our Campus.
Domhnall: *chuckles* That’s me. Sorry I didn’t recognize you sooner. You look different without all that tiara and stuff.
Indirah: *scoffs* Is that so? Do I really look that different?
Domhnall: Well, if I’m being honest, you look prettier without them.
Belle: Dira, dear, why don’t you take Dom to Ginny and Rainier over there? He arrived a few minutes before you and hasn’t greeted them yet. Maybe you both can greet our couple together?
Indirah: Yeah, sure.
Domhnall: What are you doing?
Niamh: Nothing~ Just go with her. You’ll thank us later.
Domhnall: Aunt—
Indirah: Dom? Are you coming?
Domhnall: Yeah, give me a sec!
Sofia: So Ginny told me that you guys are trying for a baby now. How’s it going?
Alfie: We’re still working on it.
Darien: Have you decided how many kids you want?
Alfie: We haven’t talked about it yet.
Sofia: Well, you should. Don’t go in blind. Being a parent is not like playing house.
Catalina: We’ll talk about it soon. I’m sure we’ll figure out how many we want.
Darien: You better stick to the plan or else you’re gonna end up like your Uncle Em here.
Emery: Hey! Don’t be mean. Belle and I planned to have a big family. We love the chaos.
Sofia: Mhm. Sure you do.
*Darien & Emery laughs in the background*
Catalina: Alfie?
Alfie: Hm?
Catalina: We never talked about how many kids we want.
Alfie: Mhm. I thought I’d let you decide that. You’re the one who’s gonna push them out.
Catalina: I know that. But what if I told you I only want one baby? What are you gonna do then?
Alfie: Then one child is what we’ll get.
Catalina: *clicks tongue* Alfie! Is this not important to you?
Alfie: Of course it’s important to me.
Catalina: Then why aren’t you telling me what you want? If this is important to you, we would’ve had this conversation before we got married.
Alfie: It just never crossed my mind.
Catalina: Oh, so you’re saying you never thought about having kids with me before?
Alfie: Don’t twist my words. Of course I’ve always thought about having kids with you. I just never gave it a serious thought.
Catalina: *huffs* Fine then. Since you say it like that, then I guess we’ll only have one.
Alfie: *sighs*
Alfie: Three kids, max.
Catalina: Just three?
Alfie: *snorts* What? You want more?
Catalina: *scoffs* Three is fine. Not too much. We both have three siblings too and our parents can handle that. It won’t be too hard.
Alfie: Eh~ We’ll see. If our kids take after me, they’re going to be a handful. I was a naughty kid, y’know.
Catalina: I know. Nothing I can’t handle. If I can handle their dad, I’m sure I can handle them too.

Ayu: Nah~ I just want to check in on you. Got any plans for tonight?
Ginny: Yeah. It’s date night.
Ayu: Ooh~ You guys going out?
Ginny: Hmm nope! Rainier wanted to watch movies from home. He’s worried that I might be too tired to go out.
Ayu: Aww~ How sweet of him. Well, tell him I said hi when you get home! I’ll see you next Monday.
Ginny: Alright. Be careful on your way home!
Luxe Apartments (7:30pm)
Ginny: I’m home~
Rainier: I’m in the kitchen!
Ginny: That smells good. You need help?
Rainier: Nope. I’m done. I just need to set up the plate and then we can eat.
Ginny: Okay then, I’m gonna shower first and then I’ll come down and join you.
Rainier: Mhm. I’ll wait for you.
Ginny: Thanks for dinner tonight, sayang~ I love it.
Rainier: I knew you would. I’m glad you liked it.
Ginny: Of course I liked it. My boyfriend is a good cook!
Rainier: *chuckles* You flatter me.
Rainier: Go pick a movie you want to watch tonight. I have something to get in my office.
Ginny: Is there anything you want to watch?
Rainier: I don’t mind anything. As long as it’s not a Zombie apocalypse movie.
Ginny: Okay~
*door opens and closes*
Rainier: *exhales deeply* You can do this.
Ginny: Oh, hey. I found—
Ginny: What are you…?
Ginny: *gasps* Wait, is this really happening?
Rainier: Mhm.
Ginny: Oh my god…
Rainier: I was planning to get you a ring but then I remembered how much your late mum’s ring meant to you. So I got you a bracelet instead. Is that okay with you?
Ginny: You didn’t have to get me anything for this. Really.
Rainier: Yeah, but I want to.
Rainier: I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. These past several years have been amazing and I never thought that the girl who knocked me over at that summer market would end up being the love of my life.
Ginny: *laughs* Please don’t remind me of that moment, it was embarrassing.
Rainier: It was not. I think it’s cute. But then you completely forgot about me. I was hurt, y’know?
Ginny: I’m sorry…You know how bad my memory is.
Rainier: *chuckles* I’m joking~
Rainier: Ginny, I love you. And I want to be with you until we’re both old and grey.
Ginny: And watch the grandkids play around?
Rainier: Mhm. So what do you say? Will you marry me?
Ginny: I’d be delighted.
Ginny: Also, we can get my ring modified to follow your family’s tradition. As long as the original diamonds are still used, I won’t mind a little change here and there.
