About the time they stop I see Kaye move over to Travis and turns him to face her.
“ Travie I have loved you since the first time that we meet. Your smile stole my heart and I always hoped that you would be mine. Then our parents got together and I had to hide my love for you as we were stepsiblings. We have both changed for the better as we have come back into Heath’s life to protect him as a older sibling should. What I’m asking my love is will you marry me?” Kaye asks as we wait Travis speaks
“ Kaye the same is true of me….you were and are my first true love. I am sorry that our parents got together as we had to hide our love. Now that they are divorced and Tyrone is gone we can be happy. Yes we have changed and you are right we have changed for the better. I will not marry you though.” He says as Kaye looks sad as Travis takes a knee and pulls a box out of his pocket
“ Because I want to ask you to marry me Kaye.” Travis says proposing as well getting Kaye to smile as she kisses him. As they break the kiss she punches him in the arm
“ I thought you were gonna leave me hanging.” Kaye says as Travis shakes his head
Why would I turn down a smart and beautiful girl like you unless I had something planned? Travis says as they both smile
I’m standing here with a box that contains the ring I got for Michelle but am too scared to ask. I let out another breathe as I look up at the woman I love with all my heart, but scared at the same time. I know Michelle told me she would never hurt me but I haven’t had the best luck with women except for my new family. When I asked Heath about proposing to her he hugged me and told me he approved as long as I made sure she was happy. I walk to Michelle before stopping.
“ Michelle…” I say as she turns and looks at me as I try to continue,”Will you…I mean would you….” I’m stubbling through my thoughts scared that she would flat out reject me
I feel a couple hands come on my shoulders as I look and see Heath,Jack and Chris all nod telling me they had my back. I take a deep breathe as I draw all my courage as I explode in one breathe.
“ Michelle Ann Thompson will you please do me the honor of being my wife?” I say pulling the ring out and show her
I look at her and she is looking at me like I had asked a stupid question and I start to pull back but my brothers stop me from retreating. Michelle surprises me by flying into my arms.
“ Yes Adam I will marry you and we will be together with our huge family forever.” Michelle says as she seals the deal with a long lingering kiss
I smile as I enjoy it before Jack makes his presence known.
“ Hey no softcore porn in front of the kids.” He says as all the moms and sisters smack him
That night I ask for a meeting with the family as I tell the whole family all about my past and why I am the person I am. The dads all are pissed that my mother treated me this way, as the moms give off the killing vibe and tell me ‘Screw that bitch you have seven loving moms here for you whenever you need us’. That comment makes me smile as Jazz/Hannah/Diamond and Tiffany all hug me and give me a kiss on the cheek before Jazzy speaks,’Abs just know like our moms said your family is here and we will protect you and make you happy.’ Selena/Mandy and Sierra get up to hug me telling me the same. Kaye tackles me,’I’ll shank the bitch that tries to hurt my little brother.’ Her comment makes me laugh.My brothers all hug and congradulate me…even Travis. As we talk into the night my thoughts turn to the one that gave birth to me, Mom you were so wrong….I CAN AND DO HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME AND WILL NEVER LEAVE ME’.
