"this was a great idea..." she said softly and smiled.

"this was a great idea..." his grip faltered on the ring, which he clasped tightly in his palm a moment later, jumping slightly. admittedly he hadn’t been watching the movie that closely for the last five minutes, lost in his thoughts and paranoia that roxy might say no, that it might be too soon for her… and for a moment he’d had an absurd fear that she had read his mind and now knew of his plans. her words registered in his brain a moment later, and he gave her a quick smile as her lips pressed against his, returning the kiss. ”don’t you know by now, i’m full of them,” he chuckled, pulling her closer towards him with his arm that was around her. for a moment he almost moved his other hand into the open, but of course chickened out at the last second. at this rate he’d never propose. "i figured we'd better make our last valentine's day alone an extra special one." it would be even more special if he could man up, though.

"i figured we'd better make our last valentine's day alone an extra special one." she half grinned and gave a slight nod. "yeah.. next time i suppose we will have a third to consider." she said softly, finding it nice to be able to talk about, rather than shying away from it or something. she shifted again, trying to get comfortable after having been pulled closer and she suddenly found herself about to topple off the sofa. her eyes widened as her balance went out the window and she reached out to try and grab his arm to avoid falling. before she wouldn't have been that bothered, even if it'd meant falling in the food it could have been cleared up. but now if she fell.. it could end up hurting the kid, and as much as she hadn't planned it, she would never want to harm the child.

"yeah.. next time i suppose we will have a third to consider." "you, me, and baby makes three," lucas chuckled a bit, trying not to let the thought terrify him. parenthood at eighteen... definitely not what he'd envisioned for himself when he was younger. for the longest time as a kid he'd thought that he'd be thrust straight out of hogwarts into a professional quidditch career, to get all of the fame and glory that little boys dreamed of in their sleep while the girls dreamed of castles and fairies and being carted away by their prince charming on a white horse. nowhere in his plans had he ever included leaving hogwarts to find a job, any job, the second he left its doors, just so that he could support his girlfriend (possibly fiance) and their newborn baby. he was startled from his thoughts as roxy tried to shift and ended up sliding, nearly falling off of the bed. his arms instinctively jerked out to grab her, wrap around her, and keep her steady with him on the couch, and as he did the priceless object in his palm flew out, hitting the hardwood floor beneath them with a small clatter that lucas wasn't even aware of. his mind was focused on keeping roxy on the couch. sure, it was only a small drop to the floor, but he seemed to be extra protective of her now with the new life in her stomach. "easy, babe. i've got you."

"easy, babe. i've got you." she half smiled when he called her babe, liking the endearment and how natural it sounded. she settled and regained balance, relaxing. "it's fine, i'm okay." she said lightly, and was about to put her head back on her chest when she saw something sparkly on the floor. she'd thought she'd heard something drop but before she hadn't been certain. frowning slightly and reached down over the edge of the sofa to pick it up. "what is..." she murmured more to herself than lucas and then she saw what it was and her eyes widened. "lucas.." she whispered his name as she took the ring in her hand carefully, scared she'd break it. an engagement ring? an engagement ring?! she couldn't quite believe it... and what was more was that without even needing to think.. she wanted to say yes.

"it's fine, i'm okay." he breathed a sigh of relief as she steadied herself against him, relaxing with her. he’d always been protective of roxy, as he was with all of his female friends, but since the baby news his protectiveness had almost become a paranoia of something happening to her. this kid might not be expected, but he somehow still knew that it would absolutely crush him to lose their first child, and he suspected roxy would feel the same. years early, yes, but the child growing within her was still their baby. it was a part of their relationship now, and always would be. he didn’t want that part to be reduced to ‘what if’s and tears of thinking what things might have been if the child had been born. to ensure that didn’t happen, lucas felt like he had to always look out for his girlfriend, no matter what. she and the baby had to be safe. his relaxation quickly ended, though. all at once every muscle in his body tensed as he noticed the object she picked up in her hand. he opened and closed his, looking at it as though that would magically make the ring reappear in his grip, erase her memory of ever seeing it… but magic wasn’t that miraculous, even when you were desperate. "what is..." his mouth felt dry, his heart pounding a million beats a second. "lucas.." any chance of backing out was now gone. she knew… it wasn’t like he could claim it was just a simple trinket ring for valentine’s day. she should know that he couldn’t afford casual jewelry after the necklace, though he’d never regret getting that for her. the look in her eyes… she knew what it was. he was being forced to make his move, and in a small way, though the surprise of it all was more or less ruined, he was thankful that he’d dropped the ring. it’d given him the needed push to speak up. he gently closed his hand over hers, trapping the ring between their palms, and when he pulled away his fingers it was in his grasp again. she’d have it back in her possession soon enough… he hoped. he shooed away the paranoias… now was too late for them to eat away at his brain. ”roxy…” oh god, what was he supposed to say? he’d thought he’d known exactly the words, but now that it was time to actually speak them his mind was blank. all pre-planned speeches went out the window, leaving him speechless for a few seconds as he tried to collect his thoughts. he took the time to move them, wrapping his arms around her and sitting them up on the couch so that he wasn’t lying down any more, though he made sure to keep his grip on the ring tight so that he didn’t lost it again. his one arm kept her close to him, while his hand holding the ring stayed between them, firmly gripping the priceless piece of jewelry between his thumb and finger. ”this whole baby thing… you know i’m going to be there for you through all of it, right? i mean… it’s our child, not just yours. whenever you need me, i’ll be there for you.” even if they weren’t together, he would still be there for her. the child was his as much as it was hers. he wouldn’t abandon her. ”but…” he hesitated again. ”i don’t want to just be there for you. i want to be there with you. for all of it. the sicknesses, the cravings, the mood swings, the birth… i don’t want to just be the father to the baby… i want to be their dad. and i don’t want to just be the boyfriend who knocked you up… i want to be the husband you’re starting a family with.” the ‘h’ word rolled easily off of his tongue. weird as hell, yes, but easily because his statement was entirely true. and then suddenly he was nervous again, cursing his stupidity for doing this. they were seventeen... who wanted to get engaged at seventeen? "i- i know we're young, but that doesn't matter to me. i'm in love with you, roxy finnigan. and i want to know... will you marry me?"

he was just giving her jewellery right? or maybe it was something he'd had on him a long time, a remembrance of someone he'd lost? a good luck token? something like that. it didn't mean what she thought it meant. but that didn't mean she didn't want it to mean what she thought it did. in fact, at the idea that it meant he was proposing, her heart pounded harder, not with fear but excitement, with love..with all the good things. okay a little apprehension and fear, they were only young, who's to say that they truly knew what they were doing, and no doubt countless adults would tell them they were stupid and yet.. and yet she wanted him to ask her. oh heck she did. yeah, she was scared about this whole baby thing, scared that she would have to do it alone or at least partly alone for what boyfriend would really love her or want her throughout the whole thing? as much as lucas was an amazing man, as much as she loved him and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, she didn't want him to feel forced into anything, to come to resent her for taking his life. yes, they had made this child very much together, but that didn't mean he couldn't escape. she couldn't, and it wasn't that she really wanted to now, she already loved the child as her kind heart knew she would anyway, but he could still run, if he wanted, even if it killed her. she didn't want him to do something because society said so, because he thought it was the right thing to do.. she wanted him to ask her if he truly meant it, if he wanted to do this as a husband and wife, for the rest of their lives. her head was a mess of thoughts and all she'd done with pick up a ring. she mentally shook herself, blinking when she realised she'd been staring at the precious gem within her hand. it looked so beautiful and delicate she was scared she'd break it or drop it - she was hardly known for her grace, in fact she was probably one of the more clumsy people you could meet who had a seeming passion for making her potions explode or catch fire. a trait inherited from her father she'd been told many a time from adults all smiles. still now was not the time to be thinking of her father - whom she was yet to confide in about the child. she had told them briefly in a letter that her and lucas were once more together if only to ask if he could come to dinner in the half term - when they planned upon explaining the whole pregnancy thing. hopefully seamus wouldn't try to kill lucas. he'd always been most protective over roxy, seemingly for the fact that she was the eldest, she didn't always get on with lavender, and she was most like her dad. seamus and lucas had always gotten on well before. seamus had noted that he'd liked lucas the most of roxy's few boyfriends - for being the most sweet, the least to muck her around. aside from lucas and cade, roxy's couple of boyfriend's hadn't turned out the nicest. she sometimes had a trouble of attracting the wrong sort with her gentle, passifist nature, but seamus and lucas had always seemed to get on well... though her father had been dubious about this second relationship after lucas had hurt his daughter with the break up before (because of course it was all the boyfriends fault for the girlfriend's father). she felt lucas stiffen beneath her, his muscles tensing as she spoke his name in confusion and looked up at him. she didn't pull away though, she showed no signs of horror at what he might be about to do, if anything she showed signs of wanting him to ask her already, because the yes was already on her lips, begging to be heard. she couldn't take her eyes off him as he closed his hand over hers before taking the ring away and smiled slightly, softly as he spoke her name. ”roxy…” it always sounded so good on his lips, said with his voice and she looked at him expectantly, almost teasingly for the way he seemed unsure of what to say. anything would do for her, she loved him, she wanted to say yes.. she just needed the question, though a part of he was curious as to what he would say. sure they had said they loved each other, committed to raising a child together but they had never truly opened up a whole load just yet, and she wanted to know what was on his mind. she shifted when he did and made to sit up, not moving away from him, wanting to be close to him as he began to speak, and she looked at him. ”this whole baby thing… you know i’m going to be there for you through all of it, right? i mean… it’s our child, not just yours. whenever you need me, i’ll be there for you.” she smiled slightly and gave a small nod. "i know.." she said softly. she knew that he wouldn't walk away, no matter what happened, he was the most decent man she had ever met. ”but…i don’t want to just be there for you. i want to be there with you. for all of it. the sicknesses, the cravings, the mood swings, the birth… i don’t want to just be the father to the baby… i want to be their dad. and i don’t want to just be the boyfriend who knocked you up… i want to be the husband you’re starting a family with.” she blushed, a flood of rose colouring her cheeks as she looked at him, riveted. his words made her stomach do little flips, her heart pound her rib cage. she wanted all that too... she wanted to be his wife, to be the one to make him breakfast in the mornings, to kiss his cheek when he went off to work, to be there every evening when he came home, to watch over their child together. "i- i know we're young, but that doesn't matter to me. i'm in love with you, roxy finnigan. and i want to know... will you marry me?" she couldn't help but grin widely as he finally asked her the question and since he had been so honest with her, so incredibly sweet she wanted to give him a little taste of her mind before she told him that yes. she raised a hand and made to touch his cheek gently with her fingertips, her gaze gentle, adoring. " lucas... you're the most decent man i've ever met... and though i know i don't deserve you i want to spend every day of my life, trying to earn what fate has given me. that day we woke up next to each other at christmas, after the night we made this child, was one of the best in my life, and i want to spend every day waking up like that.... of course it's a yes, a hundred time's over yes... i love you and i don't want to spend the rest of my life with anybody else. " she spoke gently and looked at him with a grin..her fiancée.

" lucas..." the teen bit his lip as he looked at the beautiful gryffindor. even if she completely crushed him with a harsh rejection, he prayed that she at least wouldn't break up with him for his hastiness. he couldn't lose the perfection before him. he just couldn't. "you're the most decent man i've ever met... and though i know i don't deserve you i want to spend every day of my life, trying to earn what fate has given me. that day we woke up next to each other at christmas, after the night we made this child, was one of the best in my life, and i want to spend every day waking up like that...." the beater was pretty sure he was unconsciously holding his breath as she spoke to him, her words seeming to take hours to sink in to his brain. this was... a good sign, right? she wasn't just baiting him before destroying his hopes, right? that would be too cruel for even a cold hearted slytherin, let alone the girl he loved. "of course it's a yes, a hundred time's over yes... i love you and i don't want to spend the rest of my life with anybody else. " there was the grin back on lucas' face, full of relief and love all because of one 'y' word. there. it was decided. the rest of their lives were going to be spent together, waking up beside each other each morning, raising their adorable baby, maybe, maybe, having one or two more in the future if they so decided. they could do whatever they wanted, as long as they were together. the smile still plastered on his lips, probably not going to disappear for at least a year, he gently took her hand in his, sliding the ring onto the proper finger. then, keeping his hand clasped firmly around her hand lucas leaned over to the gorgeous seventh year, kissing his fiance for the first time.

"it's perfect," lucas smiled, looking up from the ring to her face, his eyes shining with his happiness. he wasn't just talking about the ring, he was moreso referring to the fact that it was hers now, and that she was his and vice versa and everything that the single piece of jewellery represented for them.
