[CLOSED] safe and sound.

"Fine, don't tell me." She said teasingly, sitting down in his lap. She plucked the remote up from the table, curling up against his chest as she flipped through the channels. She stopped on some crime show, setting the remote on the couch next to them. She trailed her hand up and down his chest slowly, her head resting in his shoulder as she watched the TV. She was just starting to get interested when she heard Beau cry from his room. She got up, grabbing his pacifier. She walked to the back, picking him up and putting it in his mouth before sitting in the rocking chair, rocking him slowly until he fell asleep again. She laid him down then walked back, sitting next to Caine.

"What did I miss?" She asked, laying her head back on his shoulder.

He hugged Dallas tightly as she sat on his lap. She fit in his lap so perfectly. He smiled, watching as she flipped through the channels. A fluttery feeling creeped over his body as she brushed her hand across his chest. Caine's ears perked at the sound of Beau, then he felt the pressure of Dallas fade and disappear. He waied for her to come back, looking at the clock and checking the time. He knew he would have to bring Beau with them, and had made a special place for that.

When Dallas returned, he pulled her close by the waist, resting his head upon hers. "I'm not sure.. I was thinking.." He laughed, his one of his hand moving to hold one of hers. "Is he sleeping?" He asked, kissing the top of her head and leaning forward to see her face.

[dallas emery atkins]

She squeezed his hand gently, smiling up at him. "Sound asleep, curled up like a little froggy." She laid her head on his shoulder, curling up against him as she finished watching the rest of the episode. She looked over at the clock and saw close to forty five minutes had passed since she had lain Beau down. She raised her arms over her head in a stretch, collapsing onto the other end of the sofa. She smiled over at him, laying her legs across him.

"Ooh, you're not going nowhere now." She said with a laugh, reaching over to take his hand again. "Do I get to know what all the hullabaloo is about now or do I have to wait forever?" She asked, biting her lip. She had no idea what he had in mind.

[caine johnson]

Caine laughed softly, stretching her legs out over his as she laid down. He drummed his fingers against her leg as she asked once more. "Well, I need you to do something." He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a blue blind flod. Reaching over, he wrapped his arm around Dallas's waist pulling her onto his lap. "Don't be scared.." He said as he gently tightly the blind fold around her eyes. He pulled her lips to his, kissing her softly. Lightly, he lifted her to his feet and then stood on his own. "Stay right here, I'm gonna go get Beau." He whispered in her ear.

Quickly, he returned with Beau. Caine took Dallas by the hand, pulling her close to him. He intertwined their fingers and carefully began to lead her toward the door. "Nervous?" He laughed, letting go for an instant to open the door and lead her out. He closed the door gently, before taking Dallas by the hand again. "Don't peek, or cheat." His lips pressed softly against her cheek, before his steps lead her slowly up four flights of stairs, up to the roof. He opened the door, letting Dallas walk through frist. Caine switched Beau around in his hands, and walked Dallas out to the middle leaving her there, while he placed Beau in a high chair he had brought up here.

"Ready?" Caine asked, as he walked back over to Dallas, standing behind her. His fingers went to the blind fold, working the knot out. "1..2..." He inhaled deeeply, "3" The blind fold dropped to the ground, and revealed lights strung from random poles on the roof. A table with three seats and plates set in the veiw of the night lights of the city. A rose stood in a vase stood in the center of the table. Caine grabbed Dallas by the hand, leading her over to the Table where Beau was sitting. "Do you like it?" he asked shyly.

[dallas emery atkins]

"I'm not nervous." She said with a laugh. More curious than nervous. She followed him blindly up the stairs, wondering if this was how people who really couldn't see got around. She looked around when he took the blindfold off, a hand pressed over her mouth.

"It's beautiful, Caine!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around him. She pulled his face to hers, kissing him gently. "You did all this for me? You're amazing, you know that?" She hugged him again, burying her face in his neck. She didn't know what she had done to deserve someone so amazing, so wonderful. She pulled him close for another kiss, keeping her arms tight around his neck. She brought one of her hands to his cheek, stroking it gently.

[caine johnson]

Caine laughed, barely able to keep up with her kisses. "I'm not done yet," He smirked and pulled her close to him. His tongue traced the bottom of her lip as he brought her in for a kiss. His hand slid her chair out, and he sat her down gently. In a turn, he walked over to where a trey sat with a giant cover in the middle and in Caine's hand held a bottle of sparkling juice. He placed the trey in the middle of the table, and set the bottle down next to Dallas. Slowly, his fingers removed the cover and revealed two plates of spaghetti and a baby bottle full of formula that was still warm. "I didn't make the spaghetti, but I did make the bottle." He ran his fingers through his hair, before taking a seat.

A smirk sparked across his face as he looked deep into Dallas's eyes. His fingers fumbled around his pocket, pulling out a tiny black box. "Dallas, you are a wonderful, amazing girl. I can't even describe the way I feel every time I look at you. And now with Beau, I.. I don't even know how to say how happy I am. But I hope this help.." He looked down at the tiny box, opening it slowly to reveal a double hearted pendent attachted to a silver chain. "Do you like it?" Caine asked, looking up to see Dallas's reaction to the necklace.

[dallas emery atkins]

Dallas chuckled at his comment about making the bottle. "And you're a good bottle maker at that." She said with a smile, running her hands down her legs. She looked over at him, and bit her lip when she saw the necklace. 'I'm dreaming.. I have got to be dreaming. There's no way I got someone so amazing.' She thought, tears falling down her cheeks.

"It's beautiful, Caine.." He whispered, gently taking the box from him. She ran her finger across the hearts, then looked back up at him. "Do you want to put it on?" She asked, smiling over at him. She couldn't help but chuckle at the way Beau was curled up in the high chair. 'He really is just a little froggy.' She thought, then looked back to Caine. Her heart pounded in her chest, realizing just how handsome he was all over again. She couldn't help but wonder if she was falling in love with the man.

[caine johnson]

"I'm glad you like it." He smiled, scooting back his chair and stepping from his seat. He walked over to Dallas, running his fingers through hair and moving it to one shoulder. Caine reached down, taking the box from her hand. He removed the necklace, and opened the claspe. He put it around her neck, letting it rest along her collar bone. Gently, he let the claspe fall closed around he little circle, and slide through his fingers. He bent down, kissing her cheek.

"You looke beautiful." He whispered in her ear, before returning to his seat. The question he was about to ask set his nerves on edge. "Will you be my girlfriend?" His voice was quiet, and chewing on the inside of his cheek as he waited for the answer. Caine looked toward Beau, smiling, the infact looked so cute. He hoped Dallas would say yes.

[dallas emery atkins]

"Thank you." She said with a smile, looking down at the necklace. She took it into her hand, playing with it for a moment before letting it settle on her chest. She blushed at his next words, and nodded slowly, the words not seeming to form in her throat. 'He's really asking me to be his..' She thought, the fact of it barely sinking in.

"I can't think of a single other person I would rather be with." She said with a smile, reaching across the table to take his hand gently. She ran her thumb over the top of his hand, gazing over at him. She couldn't be any happier; she had her two favorite guys here, and a beautiful view of the city. Eternity was a long time to spend with someone, but she thought she would be happy if she got to spend it with Caine and Beau, granted Beau wasn't a human. But she didn't want to think of seeing her son die one day.

"Thank you. For everything." She said quietly, squeezing his hand gently.

[caine johnson]

His heart raced at her answer. A bubble feeling overwhelmed him. At the feeling of her hands, he wanted to move closer. Letting go, Caine stepped from the table, and placed the chair closer to Dallas. "Anything for you, princess." He laughed softly, kissing her on the cheek. He reached over, grabbing his plae of spaghetti, before sitting Dallas's plate down in front of her. Grabbing two glasses and the bottle of sparkling juice, he popped the stopped out and began to pour it into the glasses.

"I'm glad you like the necklace.. I've been freaking out all day." Caine placed a glass off to the side of Dallas's plate, looking into her eyes. "Oh, I got Beau something too." He almost forgot, and reached under the table. He pulled out medium sized rectangular box. He opened up the lid and looked over at Dallas. "I know he's to young for gifts, but I thought this would help after baths." He laughed, pulling out a green colored cloth. Opening it up, he revealed that the cloth was rather large, but on one side it had a hood. Holding it up by the hood, Caine showed the froggy features on he cloth and hood. "It's one of those baby towels." He handed it off to Dallas so she could look at it.
