《His Proposal》His Proposal - Epilogue
Advertisement
Two years ago, Jai was approached by a television network after they found out that he was the Brother-In-Law of upcoming football superstar Nate Knight. They wanted him to host his own football show.
He told them that he had a number of conditions before he would do anything and they accepted them. The first was that he wanted me to host the show with him. The second was that he wanted his friends that played football were able to join us during filming whenever they were available.
Nate's going to be on set today. I'm looking forward to talking to him on national television.
The third condition was that our children, Tyson and Paige are allowed on set and if they happen to wander on the stage during filming that they could keep rolling.
Paige enjoys coming on the show. She plans to surprise her Uncle today during the taping. She's never been on stage with him. So, it's going to be good to see how he reacts to seeing her with us.
"Mommy, breakfast is ready."
I open my eyes and look at my daughter. "Thanks, baby." I kiss her cheek. "Where's Daddy?"
"In the kitchen feeding Tyson." She laughs. "He keeps spitting the food out. Dad's wearing more food than Tyson's eating."
I climb out of bed. "I should help your father." I waddle downstairs.
Currently, I'm pregnant with twins and they're due any day now.
I just hope I can make it through the show without any problems.
The twins start kicking and I place my hand on my tummy. "Babies, please stop kicking. You're hurting, Mommy."
Jai walks over to me and he kisses my cheek. "Morning, baby. How did you sleep last night?"
"I didn't sleep much." I point to my tummy. "You're son and daughter spent most of the night on my bladder. It felt like I had to pee every five minutes."

He starts laughing.
I slap him. "This is your fault I'm in this situation again. Maybe, if you kept it in your pants I wouldn't have to go through having twins."
Jai wraps his arms around me and leans forward. His lips touch mine as he says. "You love me. That's why you keep getting knocked up. Besides, you look beautiful rounded with my babies inside you."
Smacking the back of his head I say. "That's every girl's dream of hearing their husband say something like that. Get changed we leave in half an hour."
Jai walks out of the kitchen
The twins kick again. "Please, stop," I whisper to them.
"Can I feel it?" Paige asks.
I nod. "Feel here," I place her hand on my tummy and the babies kick again.
Paige looks at my tummy and she says. "I'm your big sister Paige. I can't wait to meet you." She smiles. "I'm going to be a big sister again."
"Pa" Tyson says.
Paige skips over to her brother. "Yes, Tyson?"
"Cars?"
"After breakfast," she looks at me. "Mommy, I want waffles."
Just then the front door opens and Teresa walks in. She places the waffles on the counter. " I knew you would want these before you go to work." She places some on a plate for Paige and I. "Chloe, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure," I rise and follow her out of the kitchen.
Teresa stops close to the kitchen door in view of Tyson and Paige. "I'm pregnant."
I hug her. "Congrats,"
Teresa looks at the ground. "I'm scared to tell, Nate. He told me that he wants to be married before we start a family. He hasn't proposed to me yet." She looks at the ring on her finger. "All he did was make promises and he's done them all, but I was hoping he would have done it by now." A tear falls down her face. "He's been acting weird lately. Phone calls at weird times. He has to leave the room to answer it."

"There's a perfectly good explanation for why he's doing this."
"He's cheating on me isn't he?"
"No, he wouldn't do that, Teresa. He told me what's going on. Please, trust me for a little longer."
"Alright,"
I walk into the kitchen and have breakfast.
***
At 11 am, Jai and I walk into our combined room and sit next to each other while we get our hair and make-up done. He looks at me. "Why was Teresa crying this morning?"
I type my response on the phone, as I don't want the people in this room to hear something that their not supposed to.
If they hear it they will tell the bosses and they'd ask us to tell everyone about, which is something I don't want to do to Teresa and my brother.
A smile spreads across his face. "Well, she's in for a shock today."
"Jai, Chloe, you have three minutes."
I walk over to Tyson and Paige. I give them both a kiss. "Be good for Uncle Drex."
"I will," Paige says in a sweet voice.
I know she's up to something and I can't wait to see what it is. I think it has something to do with her other Uncle appearing on the show.
A couple of weeks after Paige was born I called Drex and we sat down with Nate and got to know each other. He's a great guy, but he had a not so great life growing up. He was moved from one foster home to another. By the time he was eighteen he was recruited by the CIA and that's when he learnt his true identity and about our parents.
Jai takes my hand and we walk onto the stage. In the corner is a blue sign and it says. "The Marshall's Footy Show."
The guy behind the camera does the countdown. 3, 2, 1.
Jai looks at the audience. "Good morning everyone. I'm Jai Marshall and this is my lovely wife,"
I continue where he left off. "Chloe Marshall. Today we have a special guest at the studios. He's number one on the field and the most talked about a football player, my brother Nate Knight."
The audience applauds and Nate walks onto the stage.
He walks over to me and gives me a hug. He whispers. "You're about to burst."
"Shut up."
He laughs and then walks over to Jai where he gives him a hug. Nate sits next to me.
Jai and I start asking him a question and he answers them as honestly as he can, but when it comes to things about football he gives vague answers.
After ten minutes Nate rises. "Could you bring out my girlfriend? I need her on stage for this."
Teresa walks onto the stage and she freezes when she sees Nate kneel and pull out a box. "The last time I did this I was promising you things, but this time I'm offering you the world. Teresa Clemon's, will you marry me?"
"Yes," she screams and she runs over to Nate.
Nate slips the ring on her finger.
I feel something trickle down my leg as I'm sitting on the couch.
My water just broke on TV.
Feeling a sharp pain in my stomach I scream.
Jai runs over to me. "What is it?"
"My water just broke."
