When Brendan had said to Melody he had booked the holiday to show her how much he loved her, he saw her smile and shake her head a little and then she spoke telling him that he showed her that every day that they were together, but thanked him again anyway and then he felt Melody squeeze his hand, which he returned. Brendan smiled deeply at her, “Ya deserve to be shown the love every day tha’ we’re together.” He loved Melody so much and couldn’t wait for her to be a proper part of his family, to be his wife.
When Brendan had proposed to Melody she had said she didn’t know what to say which had prompted him to say he should have waited and it was too soon, but then Melody looked back at him and smiled and soon answered him, saying that she would marry him and then wrapped her arms around his neck. This made Brendan stand up taking Melody with him and then swinging her around gently before placing her back on her feet. Brendan had then said he was glad she had said yes and took her left hand to place both the rings onto her finger and then he kissed the back of her hand and told her that she was the most beautiful and precious person in his life right then aside from Libby and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Brendan then caught a single tear fall from her eye at what he had said. Melody then said she loved him too and couldn’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him.
Brendan had then leaned in to kiss Melody for a minute or two with passion behind it and soon felt Melody wrap her arms around him, he still couldn’t believe he had never felt this way about Melody back in school, or maybe he did and he was too scared to admit it back then because the age gap was slightly more evident back then even if she was in the same year as him. As they kissed and Brendan revelled in the embrace they were sharing he suddenly realised that they were going to be a whole lot closer later, he just hoped to god he wouldn’t hurt Melody because he knew that it could be sore for a female at first, he would have to be really gentle with her. Brendan had then pulled away saying he was going to check on dinner and headed into the kitchen.
As Brendan was in the kitchen checking on the dinner he could hear Melody on the phone, not that he was prying into the conversation, he wasn’t too sure what was being said, but the one thing he did make out was Melody saying he had proposed and she had said yes, a deep smile spread over his face then. He really couldn’t believe how happy he was now when he thought back to a few months ago and thinking his life would never get back on track again. This time it was right, he could just feel it. Melody was everything his other girlfriends weren’t and the fact that they were friends before anything else just made it all the more magical as far as Brendan was concerned. Soon enough he heard Melody approaching and then she spoke telling him she had just phoned her mum telling her the good news.
“Yeah, I sorta heard ya, not everythin’ mind, but I heard ya tellin’ her I had proposed, made me smile.” Brendan saw that smile of Melody’s and he couldn’t help but grin at her and then he went back to what she had said about meeting her mom. “Well, I think tha’ can be arranged, don’ ya reckon?” Brendan knew he would be able to get any time off he needed, he just had to get someone to cover for him, and with the amount of employees at the newspaper and magazine, there would always be at least one person who could cover what Brendan would usually do. He couldn’t wait to meet Melody’s family, he wanted to tell them how much Melody meant to him, and how he would take such good care of her.
He then felt Melody wrap her arms around Brendan and ask what she could do to help. He turned round to face her. “Well, to be honest with ya, dinner’s ready, an’ I already set the table, there ain’ much else to be done, unless ya wanna put the vegetables into them glass bowls there so we can help ourselves while I carve up the turkey?” He asked, as he pulled her into the hug some more waiting for her to reply. Then he gently let go of Melody and playfully slapped her backside, “Jus’ gonna give Libby a shout, back in a sec.” He then kissed Melody quickly and made his way out to the back garden. “Kitten, time to get yer cute butt indoors, dinner’s ready.” He chuckled after it, he couldn’t help but talk about Libby like that mentioning her cute butt, probably strangers hearing him talk like that to a young girl would think he was some sort of paedophile when he was just using a term of endearment toward his daughter.
He then came back inside and soon enough had the turkey on the table and began to carve it, he would sing his song to Melody to later, and give her the words, when they were together in their room, well his room, but really it would be Melody’s room as well now. He looked at the time and then turned back around again, “Well, guess it’s jus’ gonna be the three of us, don’ look like Gray’s gettin’ home, kinda pissed to be honest, he coulda told me, ya know? Libby loves his bones, if he’s done some sorta disappearin' act, she’s gonna be real upset.”

Libby had had a great Christmas so far, she knew she had been truly spoiled what with all the gifts she got from everyone, but she made it known how grateful she was to each thing she got. The best gift of all she reckoned was getting the horse at the stables and the riding lessons, she couldn’t wait, she just loved horses. She had also gotten a bike and she was outside in the back garden cycling it around the paving stones. She wanted to take it for a spin around the streets but knew that dinner was going to be ready soon and on top of that, her grandpa was coming to get her after dinner to take her to Texas to spend a few days with him and grandma. She knew that she was going to be celebrating her birthday there, but she still had no idea what was actually planned for it, because everybody had been keeping it a secret.
Libby had to giggle when she heard her dad shout on her, telling her to get her cute butt indoors because dinner was ready. She quickly stopped the bike, and put it into the garage for safety which was where her daddy had told her to keep the bike when she wasn’t using it and then she made her way into the house from the patio area. Soon enough she came bounding into the kitchen grinning. Libby was definitely the happiest child she had been in a long time. Then she almost stopped in her tracks when she heard what her daddy said about her uncle. She had been so happy and now her heart fell, she loved Grayson, he was so much fun. Not that Brendan wasn’t, but he was her daddy, Grayson was like another daddy, but, well, he wasn’t quite so strict.
“He hasta come home daddy, it ain’ gonna be the same without him, an’ ya know it.” Libby said in a soft voice, but trying not to sound too sad, because she had been so happy and didn’t want the day to end on a sad note. Then she shook her head and began to laugh a little, “I bet he’s jus’ ran outta gas or somethin’, he’ll be back.” She then bounced back to the happy little thing she was when she first came bounding into the kitchen. “Y’all hafta to know I’ve had the best Christmas so far, I love ya daddy an’ Melody.” Libby said as she ran to Brendan and hugged him around his middle and then went to Melody and gave her a hug too. She loved Melody, she was so nice and a heap of fun and she made her daddy happy, something he hadn’t been for a while before he had met Melody. Libby then made her way to the table and sat down waiting for dinner.

After Melody told Brendan that she would marry him, and then he had put the rings on her finger, she just couldn't stop from smiling. She was truly and madly in love with Brendan, there was no doubt about that. Melody had always imagined what it would be like to be with a guy like Brendan, and now it was all ready, and she loved the feelings she was having. But then in a couple of hours or so, she woud finally be intimate with him, which she couldn't wait for, but at the same time she was nervous thinking about it. Though knowing it was Brendan she was going to lose her virginity to, she knew she would be okay.
As Brendan had gone to check on dinner, Melody had gone and rung her parents, with her mum answering the phone. She told her straight out what happened, with her mum being happy for her. And it was mentioned that they had to still meet Brendan. So now Melody knew that that date would have to be set. She had nothing to hide from her parents, and knew that Brendan was going to be the one who she was going to spend the rest of her life with. Melody had a ready made family already, what with Libby there in the mix. But she saw her niece and nephew from babies, and couldn't wait to have one as well. Now she might have the chance with Brendan. The first step though was to be intimate with Brendan, and that was to be tonight. Who knew when she would have kids, but if they were anything like Libby, then she would be happy to have more than one.
Melody soon hung up from her mum, and headed into the kitchen, telling him who she had just rung. She smiled, when Brendan commented about what he heard, making him smile. He then replied about the whole thing about meeting her parents. She nodded, "Yes. I am up for any weekend, as I don't think I have anything work related." She had then wrapped her arms around him, asking if she could do anything. Melody nodded at what he said, and looked at the vegetables that needed to be put in the bowls. She nodded, as Brendan pulled her closer, which made Melody rest her hands on his chest. "Sure thing Bren."
She looked at the vegetables as Brendan pulled away, and then she jumped, then laughed a little, when he slapped her arse. Melody shook her head, then nodded at what he was going to do. She kissed Brendan back, and let him go. She grabbed the bowls from under the bench, and began to put in the various vegetables that Brendan had cooked up for them that night. Melody heard what Brendan said to Libby, which made her shake her head a little. She had all the vegetables in the bowls, and slowly placed them carefully on the middle of the table. Brendan then had the turkey on the table also, and she sat down as he started to carve it for dinner.
Melody then got up and got a bottle of water out of the fridge, and brought it back, sitting down, and saw Brendan look at the clock. She knew that there was still Grayson to come yet, and she hoped he would come, because she knew how Libby felt about her uncle. Melody gave him a weak smile, when he commented about how it was only going to be the three of them for dinner. She slowly put her hand on his arm. "I am sure that wherever he is, he is thinking about us. But I agree, she will be upset if he has gone." Just then Libby came in, and Melody sat up in her chair, removing her hand from Brendan's arm. She gave Libby a small smile, as she listened to what Libby had to say. Can't get nothing past this one, thought Melody.
Melody nodded, grinning a little. "I bet that's it Libby. And I am sure he would have been here if he could. Why don't you try and call him later. I am sure he will want to hear from you." Melody went to give Brendan her plate to put the turkey on, when Libby continued to talk, this time sounded much more happier. "That's great Lib." She watched as Libby ran to Brendan, giving him a hug, then headed towards Melody. Libby hugged her, which made Melody wrap her arms around Libby. "I love you too sweetheart." She let go of Libby, and watched as she sat down at the table.
As Melody put her plate down, and reached for Libby's to get her some turkey, she smiled at Brendan. "Do you want to tell her, or shall I?" She bit on her bottom lip, looking down at the rings on her hand.

When Melody said she was up for any weekend for Brendan to meet her parents, he nodded his head, “Well, any weekend will suit me, am sure I’ll be able to get someone to cover fer me at the weekend, so whatever weekend suits ya best, will be jus’ fine fer me an’ all.” Brendan smiled deeply at Melody then. He couldn’t wait to meet her parents, for all that they were friends at school he had never met her parents, and he wanted to show them how much he loved their daughter, to show them how much Melody meant to him. She had then wrapped her arms around him and asked if she could do anything to help. He loved the feel of her arms around him, and would have been quite happy to just let her do that while he worked, but he knew it would get awkward eventually, so instead, he asked if she wanted to put the vegetables out into bowls, all sorts of vegetables other than sprouts. Sprouts were the one vegetable Brendan hated and Libby didn’t eat any green vegetables at all, so there were carrots, corn and potatoes for Libby. When Melody answered him, he gave her another deep smile.
Brendan had playfully slapped her backside before he went to shout on Libby to tell her dinner was ready and he saw Melody jump a little and then laugh which made Brendan chuckle. After he had shouted on Libby he went back into the kitchen and put the turkey on the table and began to carve it. Brendan had then looked at the clock and realising that Grayson wasn’t going to be here on time for dinner he had said to Melody that Libby would be real upset if Grayson had done some sort of disappearing act. Melody gave him a weak smile and he soon felt her hand on his arm and spoke saying she was sure that he would be thinking about them wherever he was, but that she agreed Libby would be upset if he had gone. Brendan replied saying, “Yeah, I jus’ hope nothin’ bad has happened to him, I mean it ain’ like him not to call or somethin’.”
It was at that point Libby came bounding in the door and right away caught what they had both been talking about and exclaimed that he had to come home as it wouldn’t be the same without him. Brendan’s heart lurched for his little Kitten. “Yeah I know it ain’ gonna be the same, but jus’ remember tha’ yer old daddy here loves ya enough fer Gray an’ all, alrigh’?” Brendan said to her in the hope that if Grayson had left for good, that it might help to soften the blow somehow, if that was even possible. Then Libby spoke again saying he probably just ran out of gas or something and he’d be back. Brendan wasn’t too sure about that, but not wanting to bring the night down anymore he smiled at Libby and said, “Yeah, yer probably righ’ sweetheart.” He then side glanced to Melody and gave her a look as much to say I damn well hope so.
Then Libby said that they should know she had the best Christmas so far and that she loved him and Melody and soon she was hugging him round the middle. Brendan bent down and kissed the top of her head and replied, “I love ya an’ all Kitten.” Libby then went to Melody and hugged her too and Brendan couldn’t help but smile when he heard what Melody said to Libby. When Melody reached for Libby’s plate so she could get some turkey, she asked Brendan if he wanted to tell her or would she. Of course she was referring to their engagement. He took the plate from Melody and began to put some turkey onto it for Libby. He then looked at Melody and then to Libby and back to Melody again and grinned. “Ya can tell her if ya wanna, girls talk an’ all tha’.” Brendan really wouldn’t have minded telling the news, but somehow he figured it might be better coming from Melody than him.
Once he got the turkey onto the plate for Libby he passed it over to her, and then he took Melody’s plate and began putting turkey onto it as well. So while Melody was telling Libby the good news he put Melody’s plate in front of her and then began to fill his own plate with turkey. “Well, looks like we migh’ have enough fer turkey sandwiches fer the rest of the week.” He said chuckling, he had gotten quite a big turkey thinking that Debbie and Grayson would have been there too, but obviously they weren’t.

When Brendan told Libby that he knew it wouldn’t be the same without Grayson but that he loved her enough for Gray as well she gave him a bright smile and went right back into her bubbly self, “I know ya love me daddy.” Libby replied, and then made a comment about Grayson running out of gas for his bike. Well it was the only thing she could think of, because she knew that Uncle Gray wouldn’t just disappear like that, would he? Brendan and Melody both agreed that was probably what had happened, that Gray had ran out of gas for his bike. She just smiled at her daddy and then turned to Melody when she suggested she phone him later, saying he would want to hear from her. Libby nodded her head, “Yeah, I migh’ jus’ do tha’, if he’s gonna be much later in gettin’ home, he’s gonna miss, ‘cause ma grandpa is comin’ fer me after dinner ain’ he daddy?” Libby said, and asking Brendan the question about James coming to get her after dinner.
When Libby had said she had the best Christmas ever and hugged Brendan and then Melody saying that she loved them, Brendan had kissed her on the head which she loved and he said he loved her too, and when she went to Melody to hug her, she wrapped her arms around Libby and hugged her back and she too said she loved her. Libby was grinning from ear to ear, feeling so happy and because she belonged in a family again. Libby had then sat down at the table and watched as Melody took her plate to give it to her daddy to put turkey onto it and then she asked Brendan if he wanted to tell Libby the news or should she. Libby saw her daddy look from Melody to Libby and then back to Melody again and saying Melody could tell her if she wanted to, mentioning something about girls talk.
“Alrigh’ wha’s the news, one of ya hasta tell me now.” Libby said in a frustrated voice as she smiled looking from Brendan to Melody to Brendan and then back to Melody again. The last time she had heard news it was a few months ago and it was that she was going to be a big sister and then that all turned out to be a lie. Somehow if Melody was going to say she was going to be a big sister she would know that it was true this time, because she could see the love between her daddy and Melody, it was evident every single day.

{ooc - I am SO SORRY that I didn't do this one sooner. I could have done this instead of the Dom thread with Stacey. I feel so bad....}
Melody nodded, "Okay. Well I will see when I am free in my phone later, okay? I am sure we can plan something before or after, you know." She gave him a cheeky smile, and then laughed a little. Melody was nervous, and also rather excited over what she was going to do with Brendan later. After wrapping her arms around him, she asked him if she could do anything to help. He asked if she could put the vegetables into bowls. She said she could do that, but then as he let go of her, he had slapped her arse, which made her jump, but laugh also at the playfulness of it all.
Soon enough Brendan had called for Libby, and Melody had put all the vegetables into bowls and set them on the table, in the middle. She watched Brendan bring in the turkey, and then saw him look at the clock, then begin to carve the turkey. Conversation about Grayson started, and Melody had given him a reassuring touch of her hand, and quiet words hoping to reassure him. She nodded slightly as he spoke more about it. "I think he is okay. Maybe he is out of range for his phone or something." Whatever was the excuse, Melody hoped that Grayson was okay, for all their sakes.
Then Libby came in, as they were talking about her uncle. Melody heard what Brendan said to her, and then her reply to it. She smiled at Brendan, knowing that he had a lot of love for all of them, especially his daughter. Hopefully they could all make up for Grayson's absense for Libby's sake. They then agreed to what Libby said, about Grayson having run out of gas. Melody hadn't missed that glance from Brendan, and she gave him a weak smile, hoping that all was well with his brother. Melody was glad that Libby somehow liked the idea of her calling Grayson later. Then as Libby mentioned the fact that her grandpa was coming to get her later, Melody wondered if Grayson would be home before that or what.
Libby had commented on how the Christamas had been the best ever, and had gone to each of them, hugging them individually. Once Libby sat back down, Melody had reached for her plate, letting Brendan place some turkey on it. She then asked him if he wanted to tell her or should she. Melody saw Libby looking at both of them separately, then Brendan said she could tell her. She looked back at Libby, as she basically demanded that someone tell her now.
Melody had to hold back a laugh at Libby's reaction, watching Brendan give her her plate with the turkey on it. She smiled at Brendan, as he took her plate, then decided to tell Libby. "Well, Lib. Your dad asked me to marry him, and I said yes. Are you okay with that?" Really, Libby was part of the family, and even though what Brendan asked was his own decision, she felt like she had to make sure that it was okay with Libby. Melody then gave Brendan a smile as he put her plate in front of her. Once the discussion of what Melody had to tell Libby was over, Brendan made a comment about being enough turkey for sandwiches for the rest of the week. "Great. I will have to take some for work, as long as there is cheese to go with them." Melody giggled a little, then reached for the potatoes.

{ooc - don't sweat it Mel, look how long it's taken me this time, I hate when I'm on my period it really throws me off key}
Brendan nodded his head with a grin when Melody said she would check her phone later to see when she would be free to visit her family and he replied, “Tha’ sounds good to me Precious.” Brendan couldn’t wait to meet her parents; he just hoped that they would think he was good enough for their daughter. He liked to think he was, but he couldn’t deny he had broken a couple of hearts along the way to get to where he was now, however, he would never break Melody’s heart, he couldn’t, he was just too much in love with her and he couldn’t wait to show her just how much he did love her, later on that night.
Once Melody had the vegetables into bowls and on the table and Brendan had called for Libby, he had begun to carve the turkey but had taken a look at the clock, noticing that Grayson hadn’t arrived yet and didn’t think he would. Brendan was a little annoyed that he hadn’t even thought to call, but he wasn’t upset at Gray missing out on the meal, he was upset that Libby might not get to see her uncle before she left to visit with her grandparents until her birthday. Brendan had to admit that it was very unlike Gray to do a disappearing act without warning, so he just hoped that everything was alright with his brother. Just as he was thinking that Melody spoke saying that she was sure he was okay and something about his phone being out of range. Brendan sighed and shrugged slightly, “Yeah, maybe yer righ’, I sure as hell hope so.”
Then Libby had come in and caught them talking about Gray and Brendan had told Libby he loved her enough for both of them and she replied saying she knew that, Brendan just grinned at her, “Am sure glad ya know tha’ sweetheart.” Then Libby bounced back saying Gray had probably just run out of gas or something. Melody had then suggested Libby try phoning Gray after dinner and she seemed to like that idea but then commented that Gray might miss her because her grandpa was coming to get her after dinner and then she directed the question at Brendan as if getting it confirmed. “Yeah, tha’s righ’ Kitten, he should be here soon after we finish I reckon.”
After Libby had said that it had been the best Christmas for her and she had hugged him and then Melody, Melody had then mentioned about their news they had to share and should she tell Libby or would he. He had replied saying she could but before Melody could say anything Libby had said one of them had to tell her which made Brendan laugh, “Give Melody a chance Kitten.” Brendan replied and chuckled as he then listened to Melody tell Libby the news. Brendan had to smile as Melody basically asked Libby if she was alright with the proposal, but really he didn’t think Libby would have much of a problem with it, he knew she loved Melody just as much as he did. Once Melody had told Libby the news he had then remarked that there was going to be enough turkey for sandwiches for about a week.
Brendan had to chuckle at Melody’s response when she mentioned about taking some to work but added about having cheese with it. “Am sure ya can get yer share of cheese fer them sandwiches, wha’ ya like?” Brendan replied chuckling, and then he watched as Melody reached for the potatoes. Soon enough they all had their dinner on their plates and silence fell for a short while as they all ate their dinner. Fifteen minutes later Brendan was all finished and he stood up taking his plate and putting it into the dishwasher along with his dirty cutlery, “Everyone finished?” He asked, and waited for a response before taking away Melody and Libby’s plates as well. He then went into the fridge to bring out the dessert, “Alrigh’ who’s fer strawberry cheesecake an’ ice cream, or ya can have some trifle if ya prefer?” It wouldn’t have been Christmas dinner without a dessert but Brendan wasn’t too keen on Christmas pudding; it was too rich for him so he had stuck to simple desserts.
Once dessert was over with he knew that his father would soon be arriving to take Libby away for the rest of the week leading up to her birthday party at the vineyard in Texas.

When Brendan had said that he was glad she knew that he loved her Libby just smiled at him and then she reached up as far as she could and then used her hands to bring him down to her level and then she kissed him on the cheek and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding onto him tightly in almost a vice like grip of a hug for a few seconds before letting him go. She loved her daddy so much, especially when she had grown up for ten years thinking that he had never wanted to know her, or that he was dead.
When Libby had then said that if Grayson didn’t hurry up and come home he would miss her because her grandpa was coming for her after dinner she had questioned Brendan with it wanting it confirmed. She grinned when he replied saying that yeah he should be there the soon as they finish. Libby replied, “Tha’s awesome, am sure lookin’ forward to spendin’ some time with them again.” Libby loved her grandparents, and even though they had a bit of a rough time over the whole Grayson being a secret thing, they seemed to have gotten over it and were building their relationship again which Libby loved.
Then Melody had mentioned something about telling her the news and Libby being a bit excited at wanting to know what the news was had more or less demanded that one of them tell her what the news was now. She grinned at Brendan as he told her to give Melody a chance, “Am sorry, am jus’ excited abou’ wha’ yer gonna tell me tha’s all.” She giggled slightly then and looked back at Melody to see what she was going to tell her. Libby’s eyes began to open really wide when Melody began to speak and told her that her daddy had asked Melody to marry him and she had said yes and was Libby alright with that.
“Are ya kiddin’ me?” Libby asked in a really excited and loud voice, “Am I alrigh’ with it? Am more than alrigh’ with it, I think it’s fuckin’ amazin’.” Then she realised she had just used one of those words Gray told her she was never to use, she couldn’t help it, she was just so excited and Gray was always slipping up and swearing in front of her. She turned quickly to Brendan, “Sorry abou’ tha’ daddy, am jus’ real excited an’ it’s Uncle Gray’s fault anyway.” She then got up from her seat and virtually ran to Melody and threw her arms around her, “I love it, an’ I love ya, an’ I know yer gonna make ma daddy real happy.” She then went back to her seat again.
Brendan had then made a comment about there being enough turkey for sandwiches for a week and even Libby had to laugh a little when Melody replied about having cheese to go with them. After a short while Libby had finished her dinner and soon after Brendan had asked if they were finished, “Am finished mine daddy.” Libby replied and watched as he took her empty plate away and then after he took Melody’s plate away he asked about dessert. “I’ll have some trifle please.” Libby replied and grinned and looked at the clock knowing that grandpa would be there soon enough and as much as she loved her daddy and Melody, she couldn’t wait to see her grandparents again.

Melody knew that Gray not being at dinner was annoying the hell out of Brendan. But she knew that he was okay, or hoped so anyway. Though the discussion about Gray had continued when Libby entered the room. Brendan had told Libby that he loved her enough for the both of them, and he had said that he was glad that she knew that. The idea of Gray running out of gas was looking like a winning idea for what had happened to him, and really it was the best thing for Libby to think about, as if it was bad, then it was going to make the whole thing bad for all involved.
When Brendan said that his dad would be there to pick her up after they finished, Libby got all excited over it, saying she was looking forward to spending time with them again. Melody smiled, but knew that she would soon have time with Brendan on her own, knowing what was to come, it kind of gave her goosebumps. She had heard a little about what had happened about them all finding out that Gray was their brother and son, and how it got out of hand. But hearing that Libby was happy to go, made it sound that all was going well.
Brendan had said that Melody could tell Libby what the news was, and Libby pretty much demanded that someone tell her what it was. Brendan told her to give Melody a chance, and the whole thing was making Melody just laugh all the more. Once she stopped, she told Libby the news and asked if she was okay with it. Then Libby asked if she if was alright with it, then said it was fucking amazing. Melody gasped, then giggled a little. She looked at Brendan, wondering what he was going to say with her saying profanity. Before any of them could say anything, Melody watched Libby turn to Brendan apologising for what she just said.
Melody shook her head at Libby's comments, knowing that really it was Gray who used the language, no matter where he was. Though she knew that he had been trying hard to minimise it around Libby. Melody then watched Libby run over to her, throwing her arms around her. She put her arms around Libby warmly, listening to what Libby was saying. Melody looked at Brendan, smiling, then spoke to Libby, moving out of the embrace. "I love you too, Libby. And I hope so. He has made me more than happy."
After Brendan had made the comment about the turkey, Melody had said that she would take some to work, as long as there was cheese to go with them. She laughed a little at Brendan's remark, and Libby's laugh hadn't gone unnoticed either. Soon enough they were all eating, and fifteen minutes later, Melody placed the last piece of turkey in her mouth, as Brendan stood up taking is plate over to the dishwasher. When he asked if everyone had finished, Melody nodded, swallowing the turkey. "Thanks," she said as Brendan took her plate, then Libby's. Melody picked up the bowls that were half full or almost empty, just placing them on the benches, knowing that she would deal with those while Brendan said to goodbye to Libby when she went. Melody would also, but she would let Brendan say goodbye on his own also.
Melody sat back down, as Brendan asked who wanted what he said, and she looked. "I might have some cheesecake and ice cream, thanks Bren." Once it was dished up, Melody began to eat, and soon enough it was gone. She sat back, and placed her hands on her stomache. "Now I am truly full. Haven't eaten that much for a while. But it was delicious." She turned to Brendan, and smiled.

When Libby said it was awesome because she was looking forward to spending time with her grandparents again Brendan ruffled the top of her head, “Well they’re lookin’ forward to seein’ ya again as well.” He then looked at Melody and sighed gently and then smile, “Am sure glad tha’ everythin’ settled down with them after the whole Gray thing.” It hadn’t been an easy time for the family when they had found out about Gray, in fact Brendan himself had had a go at his mom about it, but really it had happened ages ago and she had just felt like she couldn’t cope with twins at the time, so really he had eventually understood, he just wished that she had been honest about it instead of covering it up.
Libby had then got excited about what the news was Melody had to tell her and when Brendan had chuckled telling Libby to give Melody a chance she had apologised saying she was just excited. Brendan shook his head slightly but grinning deeply, “Ya ain’ the only one whose excited.” Well it was true, Melody had agreed to become his wife and later that night they were going to become one, something Brendan was really looking forward to because he knew that he was going to have to be as gentle as possible and yet pull out all the stops at the same time.
Melody had then told Libby the news and asked if she was alright with it. As expected Libby reacted in a rather excited way, so excited she had sworn. Brendan knew where she had gotten it from and could only roll his eyes and smile behind Libby’s back, but when she turned to him to apologise he quickly tried to take the smile off his face but from his smiling eyes it was evident that he was desperate to laugh out loud at the situation. “Ya know yer uncle ain’ half got a lot to answer fer. It’s alrigh’ Kitten, jus’ try not to do it in front of yer grandparents, ain’ so sure they’d be so forgivin’ ya know?” Brendan shook his head again and chuckled once more.
Libby had then went to Melody and threw her arms around her and said she loved it and that she loved her and that she knew she’d make her daddy real happy. Brendan grinned and replied saying, “She’s done tha’ alrigh’.” He then looked at Melody and mouthed the words ‘I love ya’ to her and then grinned when she said that he had made her more than happy. “Am real pleased to hear tha’ Precious.” Libby then went to sit back down at the table again after hugging Melody. Brendan felt really happy right at that moment, he felt as if he had a little family of his own once more and he knew that this time it was for keeps. He loved Melody so much, the love he held for her was so intense it was like all the love he had for her back at school which had never surfaced was breaking free now a hundred times over.
Soon enough Brendan was dishing up dessert, Libby had asked for trifle and Melody asked for some cheesecake with ice cream. “Alright’, tha’s no problem fer ma precious girls.” Brendan said as he put out a serving of trifle and a serving of cheesecake with ice cream and handed the bowls over to Libby and Melody. Brendan then put out some cheesecake for himself and sat down with it. A few moments later he was finished and he put the bowl into the dishwasher and once Melody and Libby were finished with their desserts, he put their empty bowls into the dishwasher also. He then sat down and leaned back in his chair and patted at his stomach, “Well, I think tha’ was rather tasty if I do say so maself, an’ am feelin’ rather stuffed.” He chuckled then and that was when the doorbell sounded and then the sound of it opening.
Brendan’s parents always did that when they arrived, they would ring the doorbell and then let themselves in with their key. He looked at Libby and grinned, “Well there’s yer grandpa here, ya best go get yer stuff as I imagine he’ll be wantin’ to get ya back to the airport as soon as possible fer the return flight.” Brendan then got up to greet his dad and brought him into the kitchen. “I proposed to Melody dad an’ she said yes.” James grinned and slapped Brendan on the back, “Well done ma son.” He then made his way over to Melody, “Sure is nice to meet ya, an yer even prettier in the flesh if I do say so.” He then kissed Melody on the cheek before shouting out, “Where’s ma Libby then, we got a flight to catch ya know.” He chuckled after it knowing full well she’d be running into his arms soon enough.

After Libby had sworn saying that she was really happy that Melody had said yes to marrying her dad she heard Melody gasp and then giggle slightly, but she had quickly turned around and apologised to her daddy for swearing and blamed it on her uncle Gray. She had to smile when Brendan said it was alright but she was to be careful not to do it in front of her grandparents as he didn’t think they would be so forgiving. “I promise daddy.” Libby replied and then she had gone and thrown her arms around Melody telling her that she loved it and she loved her too. Libby grinned when Melody said that she loved her too. Libby loved having a mother type figure to look up to again but right now she was still just calling her Melody, not feeling quite ready yet to call her mom or mommy. She had started to call Stacey mommy Stace and then her dad and Stacey broke up, so she didn’t want to jinx anything.
They were soon all finished dinner and onto dessert and Libby had asked for some trifle while Melody asked for the cheesecake with ice cream. Libby grinned at Brendan when he said it was no problem for his precious girls. Soon enough she was handed her dessert and Libby practically wolfed it down knowing that all too soon her grandpa was going to be here to take her back to Texas. She couldn’t wait. Soon enough they were all finished their desserts and Brendan had put their empty bowls into the dishwasher. He had then patted at his stomach saying that he was stuffed and that it was rather tasty if he did say so himself. “Yeah, it was awesome daddy, I really enjoyed it.” Soon after saying that the doorbell sounded and then the door was beginning to open. Libby knew who would it be and she didn’t need Brendan to tell her twice to go and get her things.
She zoomed out of the kitchen and up to her room. She grabbed her bag because she had packed earlier that day and then pulled on her jacket and shoes and was ready to head down the stairs again just as she heard her grandpa ask where she was. She ran down the stairs, threw the bag on the floor and threw herself into his arms and he automatically lifted her up and swung her around and then kissed her on the cheek. “It’s sure good to see ya gain ma little cherub, yer grandma can’t wait to see ya again.” He then went to Brendan and gave him a man hug and then approached Melody and hugged her too giving her a kiss on the cheek. “Sure good to meet ya Melody, we’ll have more time together when ya come through to Texas fer Libby’s birthday.” With that he grabbed Libby’s bag and then took her hand and soon enough they were gone.
{ooc – Libby out!!! LOL}

Melody gave Brendan a bit of a smile when he commented on how he was glad that everything had settled down after the whole Gray thing. Brendan had told her a bit of what happened, but she didn't dig too deep, in case the situation just brought back too many bad memories. Though from what he did tell her was just enough to be sitting in there in awe of what happened all those years ago.
When Melody told Libby the news, it got her so excited that it made Libby swear. Of cause she apologised, and Brendan made a comment about Gray, then told her that she should try and not do it in front of her grandparents. Melody tried to hold back a snicker, knowing that it might be true. She never did swear in front of her own parents, as that was the way she was brought up. But if she got a few drinks in her, or something happened, Melody would let a few fly. Libby then promised that she would be careful.
Libby then came over and threw her arms around Melody, and said that she knew she made her daddy real happy. Hearing Brendan confirm that, made Melody smile all the more at Brendan, and caught him mouth 'I love you'. She mouthed back 'I love you', and then added that he had made her more than happy. Brendan replied, and Melody then watched Libby go back to her seat.
Brendan then served dessert, and both her and Libby asked for different desserts. Soon both had their desserts, and Melody ate hers, rather quickly, as it was so good. Once she was done she had sat back, and commented on being truly full, and that she hadn't eaten that much for a while. Everything was then put in the dishwasher, and Melody had to giggle a little at what Brendan said about it being rather tasty and that he was rather stuffed. "I have to agree with you there." Then as Melody got comfortable in the chair, the doorbell rang, and she knew who it was going to be.
Brendan confirmed who it was, just as Melody had guessed, and soon enough Brendan's dad was there in the dining area, and she got up out of her chair to say hi. She smiled as he commented on what he did, and what her reply was, and watched as James grinned and slapped his son on the back. James then came over to Melody, and commented that it was nice to meet her and she was even prettier in the flesh, and he then gave her a kiss on the cheek. She grinned, "Why thank you. And nice to meet you too." James then shouted out to Libby, which made her laugh, and remember how Brendan was, shouting out to her before when dinner was ready.
Libby soon came down, and Melody watched as she interacted with James. He then said his goodbyes to Brendan, and then to Melody. "It was nice to meet you too, and yes, see you then." Then Libby was gone. It seemed like a rush of goodbyes, but soon the house was quiet. Melody turned and hugged herself into Brendan, resting her head on his shoulder. "Maybe we should finish clearing away the dinner things," she murmured. Then Melody pulled away, not waiting for a reply to that suggestion. "Or we could take a drink into the lounge room?"

After dinner was finished with and Brendan had made the comment about dinner being rather tasty and that he felt rather stuffed he had to chuckle some more when Melody replied agreeing with him which had made Brendan give her a warm smile. It was at this moment the doorbell rang and Brendan knew it would be his father James arriving to collect Libby. James made his way into the kitchen and as he did so he watched Melody stand up to greet his father which made him smile deeply what with being ever so proud of Melody.
Brendan’s dad hadn’t wasted any time in telling Melody that she was even prettier in the flesh and gave her a kiss on the cheek, it was clear to see where Brendan got his charm from with the way James was acting. Melody thanked him and said it was nice to meet him too. James looked at her and grinned, “No need to thank me sweetheart jus’ sayin’ the truth how I see it. Ma son’s sure one lucky fella I reckon.” James said the charm just oozing out of him with ease. When his father had shouted on Libby Brendan caught her laughing a little and he had a feeling it was because of the way he had shouted on Libby earlier. He and his father were quite a lot alike.
Soon enough Libby had got what she needed and had come flying down the stairs and right into his father’s arms. Brendan sighed gently just enjoying the scene between his father and his daughter; it was so good to see Libby so happy. After James and Libby had greeted each other James had then said his goodbyes to both Brendan and Melody and as he spoke to Melody she replied saying it was to meet him too and that she would see him at Libby’s birthday in Texas. He had then given both of them another smile and soon enough he and Libby were gone.
When Melody had hugged into Brendan and leaned her head on his shoulder, he sighed gently and wrapped his arms around her hugging her to him. He knew that now that they had the house to themselves that Melody’s special Christmas gift to him would be happening very soon. Melody then spoke saying they should finish clearing away the dishes, but Brendan shook his head slightly but didn’t get a chance to say anything as she had pulled away and suggested that they could take a drink into the lounge room. “Well I was jus’ gonna suggest to ya tha’ there ain’ nothin’ else to really clear away, I managed to get them all into the dishwasher, its jus’ the table condiments an’ table cloth tha’ needs clearin’ away, we can do tha’ later. So yeah I think a drink in the lounge sounds like a good idea to me.”
Brendan then went over to the cupboard pulled out two glasses and then headed to the drinks fridge and pulled out two beers and poured them into the glasses and handed one over to Melody and then put his free arm around her and walked into the lounge room and soon had them sitting on the sofa. Brendan took a sip of his beer and then placed it on the table and soon put his arm around Melody’s shoulders and pulled her gently close to him. Then he said in a soft voice, “I feel real lucky to have ya in ma life Melody, real lucky.” He honestly never thought he would be this happy again, but he had proven himself wrong.

After Melody thanked James for what he said about her, he told her that there was no need to thank him, adding that he was just saying the truth. James then said that his son was one lucky fella. "Well if you put it that way, I have no objections. I think he should be lucky to have me." She smirked at Brendan, then laughed a little. Then James called out for Libby, which had made Melody laugh a little. She saw Brendan look at her, and she giggled a little.
Once James and Libby had left them in the house alone, Melody had hugged herself into Brendan, resting her head on his shoulder. She soon felt Brendan's ams come around her own body, and Melody close her eyes a little, with the feel of them around her. It was nice, but then she got thinking of having to clear away the dinner things, and mentioned this to Brendan. But then she pulled away, and instantly suggested that they could take a drink into the lounge room. Melody nodded at Brendan's reply. "That's good then. Let to do then." She gave him a smile, and followed him, as he pulled out two glasses, then in the fridge pulled out two beers. Brendan poured the beers into the glasses, handing her one. Melody smiled as he handed it to her, and she quickly took a small sip. He then put his arms around her body, then she walked with him towards the lounge room.
Melody sat next to Brendan, and took a mouthful of beer, then looked at him, as he pulled her close to himself. Her free hand move to sit on his knee, and she looked at him, with a small grin on her face. Brendan then spoke to her in a soft voice, and it gave her tingles, and then a feel on contentment. "Well, I am glad to have you in my life. Wouldn't want it any other way." Melody lent forward to put the glass down, then lent back, to get into the same position as she was in. She then began to absentlymindedly massage the knee that she had had her hand on before, and then looked at Brendan, "I can't wait to marry you." She then lent her head on his chest, and closed her eyes for a few seconds, just takng in the moment, taking in the scent of Brendan. She truly was loving him in her life, and she loved him with all her heard. Melody knew that what she wanted to do that night was definately the right moment.
Melody shifted a little, then lent in to kiss Brendan, softly at first, with one kiss. She looked at him, with a serious look on her face, then she went to kiss him more. Her hand went up to his face, leaving it there as she kissed him tenderly. Melody then felt herself want to do more then just kiss his lips. As she parted her lips slightly from his, she kissed his cheek slowly a couple of times, then moved her lips down to his neck. Melody could feel her emotions started to get the better of her, feeling her heart beginning to beat a little faster. She then moved from his neck, and looked back at him again. "I think I am ready, Bren."
