December 4, 2006
Thanksgiving was a depressing day that came with loads of leftovers. Which is why I’m sitting here eating turkey and giblet gravy. Honestly I’m bored out of my mind. I’m seven months pregnant and my feet hurt. I looked at my watch and growled. Brendon and the guys would be back home in six more days. I laid my plate on the ottoman and let out a sigh.
“Tired?”
I glanced over at Julia who was going through a Sears catalog.
“Bored. Tired. Sore. Missing my baby.”
“Your baby will be home in six days,” Julia said with a hint of a smile.
“That’s six days too many.”
“I know sweetie but you’ll just have to find something to occupy yourself in the meantime.”
“Well, I need to do some Christmas shopping.”
“Do you want to go to the mall?”
“Sure. As long as there are places for me to sit down and plenty of bathrooms.”
Julia laughed as I stood up to go get dressed.
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
“Ok so where do you want to go first?”
“ Lets stop here in FYE for a minute.”
Julia and looked around in FYE for several minutes before I chose two My Chemical Romance, three Simple Plan, and five Beatles CDs.
“Who are those for?”
“The Beatles CDs are for Ryan and I think I remember Jackie and Crystal wanting these My Chem and Simple Plan CDs .”
“Spencer’s sisters?”
“Yup.”
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Three stores and ten bags later we found a clothing store for babies. We had to go in.
“Dani, you’ve already bought the baby several onesies from Hot Topic.”
“Oh I know, but I just wanna look.”
Fifteen minutes later Julia and I walked out with three bags.
“I thought you just wanted to look.”
“Sorry.”
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
“Hey Brendon, guess what?”
I could just see Brendon grin on the other line.
“What?”
“So today I bought some onesies from Hot Topic. My favorites are the Rock Alphabet one and there’s this cute one that says ‘ I learned to rock before I could walk.’ ”
Brendon laughed, “Nice between those and the one I bought him there’s no doubt he’s gonna be a rocker.”
“Of course. And the fact that my brother bought him a toy guitar.”
“Hey, it was on sale and it was the only one left,” I heard Ryan say in the background.
“So I take it your finished with your Christmas shopping?”
“Yes.”
“What did you get me?”
“Like I would tell you.”
“Just thought I’d ask.”
“My feet hurt.”
“I’m sorry. When we get back I promise I’ll give you foot massage.”
“Aw, will you really?”
“Yes. Hey I’ve got to go. This is gonna make the eighth run to the bathroom today.”
“Baby on bladder?”
“Yes. Bye.”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
I hung up the phone and started for the bathroom when I heard Julia snicker.
“Baby on bladder? Priceless.”
I rolled my eyes as I exited the room.

“Well Fender. Your daddy and uncles will be here soon,” I said rubbing my tummy.
Fender kicked me and I giggled.
“I love how you ‘answer’ me, you know that? Well, just two more months little boy. Then I’ll be able to hold you in my arms and your daddy will be off tour. Your due date is February 25. I think it would be pretty awesome though if you were born on Valentines Day. Then you really would be a love child.”
“I love how I always find you having random conversations with your baby,” Kara, Brendon’s sister, said.
“I talk to the baby, Brendon talks to him. For the past three months I’ve played a different Beatles album every week and put the head phones on my tummy.”
“You know playing classical music supposedly helps a baby’s development or something.”
“I know, I’ve been playing some of that too.”
“Good to know. My nephew is gonna be a genius. I promise you.”
“I wouldn’t doubt it.”
“There they are,” Kara said opening the front door for me.
“Come on Fender, let’s go greet the men in your mommy’s life.”
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
“Hey baby. I’m finally here. Not leaving tomorrow or anything,” Brendon said giving me a kiss before squatting down.
“Hey Fender,” he said rubbing my tummy, “Hey buddy.”
Brendon raised his head and smiled at me. I returned the smile as he stood up and took me hand.
“I have something I need to tell you when we get inside the house.”
I nodded, “Ok.”
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The four of us entered the house and settled in the living room. We talked about how the final show went and the trip home for about fifteen minutes before there was a lull in the conversation.
“Brendon, what was it you wanted to ask me?”
“Oh. Thank you for reminding me,” he said standing up.
Brendon walked over to his duffel bag and rummaged around. Several minutes later he stood up and knelt at my feet.
“Dani, I’ve loved you from the first time I saw you. I had never believed in love at first sight until that moment. Over the past few months I’ve realized how much I love you and need you in my life. I’ve thought this over and I’ve decided I want, no need you as my bride. Danielle Roxanne Ross, will you marry me?”
My jaw dropped.
“Oh my gosh, I-uh. Yes. Yes I will.”
Brendon’s face lit up as the guys , Julia, and Kara all began to applaude.
“I picked this out especially for you. I know how much you love sapphires so I found this one,” he said slipping it onto my finger.
I gazed at the two sapphires one on each side of the diamond.
“It’s beautiful.”
I lowered my head so that our foreheads rested against each other while he entwined his hand with mine. Briefly we looked into each other’s eye before we shared a small kiss.
