The off season was shortly about to end soon for Joe and so is Serenity’s pregnancy. Just last month, they moved into their new house and they finally got everything to place. However, there was only one thing left for Joe to do and he knew when it was going to happen. Six months into the relationship, Joe was working on a ring for Serenity and was planning on proposing as soon as the couple hit one year. Now did it look like he was proposing because he got Serenity pregnant? Yes, but it was far from that. Baby or no baby, Joe was going to do it anyway.
The couple were packing finishing packing their bags to go to Greece when Anita ran in the room.
“Mommy, I’m ready for Greece!” She smiled
“Oh lovebug,” Serenity hugged her. “Don’t you remember, this is a trip for me and Mr.Burrow.”
“But I will bring back a souvenir from our trip ok?”
“Ok mommy, but do I have to stay with daddy?”
“Yes you do but at least you will be with your little brother.”
That only made Aniya want to go with her mom and Joe even more as she clung to her leg. “Please let me go with you mommy. He’s really annoying!”
“Oh I’m sorry lovebug but I promise you, we will be back in a week.” Serenity reassured her.
On the night before they had to leave for their trip, Joe was looking at a small red box in his hand before putting it in his suitcase.
“I have to make sure I do this right.”
“Do what right Mr.Burrow?”
Joe turned around to see Aniya standing right behind him.
“Oh Aniya, umm it’s for your mom.”
Joe nodded his head yes and showed her the ring he was planning on proposing to Serenity with.
“Aniya, how would you feel I became part of this family, permanently?”
The five year old jumped up and down with excitement! “You are going to marry my mommy?”
“Shhhh, tone it down, I don’t want to spoil the surprise but yes I am.”
“Can I be the flower girl?” Aniya asked.
“Yes, but first I need to ask her the most important question.”
Joe put the small box back in the suitcase before placing the bag by the door. He planned to propose to her on the second to last day of their trip before returning back home.
“Now Aniya, will you behave at Daddy’s house while I’m gone?”
“Yes mommy, I will be good.”
Joe pulled up into the driveway of Jacob’s home to drop off Aniya with Serenity. Upon arrival, they saw Jacob playing with his son Malcolm in the front yard.
“Look Malcolm, it’s your sister,” Jacob pointed the car. “Let’s go get your sister.”
The two walked up to the car and helped Aniya get out.
“Have fun on the trip,” Jacob said flatly. Now he accepted that Serenity have moved on but he was still a little but salty.
“Thanks,” replied Serenity. “Bye baby, have fun with daddy and we will be back next week.”
“Bye mommy,” said Aniya waving.
One Aniya was set with Jacob, the couple drove straight to the airport, making sure to park the car in a secure parking spot.
“Joe, I’m so glad we are able to fly to Greece before the start of the season!” Serenity beamed with excitement.
“Yeah,” said Joe, grabbing the suitcases out the car. “I’m looking forward to all the sightseeing and countless hours of sex.”
“Now don’t get too cocky now Joseph.”
Serenity only called him by his full name to tease and only riled Joe up.
“I am such a lucky man, let hop on the flight.”
The flight was approximately 12 hours and 5 minutes. Joe try to keep his composure around Serenity but the man was a nervous rack. In his head, he was constantly going over what to say to Serenity leading up to that special question. He wanted to make sure that every thing was going right for him.
“Joe are you ok? You seemed nervous babe.” Serenity held his hand.
“Well yeah,” he replied. “This new adventure for us, it’s such a surreal moment.”
“Yeah, but hey, we are doing this together Joe and that’s what makes it better.”
At that moment, Joe wasn’t even nervous anymore. His mind was clear and he was ready to ask her that question.
When the couple landed in Greece, they started making a list of what they wanted to throughout their short stay.
On the first day, they stayed in the hotel mostly because Serenity had extreme jet lag from the flight. As Serenity slept, Joe text the guys telling them about his plan to propose.
Yoshi- So Joe, when are you proposing?
QB9- On our last night staying here. NGL im nervous af 😬
Uno- Dude, I remember you were nervous to talk to her when she first moved right next to you, you gonna be alright 🤣
Tee- Yeah man, just relax, also you sure not proposing because she is having your kid?🤨
QB9- No 😑, we have been over this Tee. I have always planned on proposing to her way before she is having my baby. Sometimes things just take a different direction.
Yoshi- I told him to lay off the fucking 🙄
Old man Flacco- Hey, sorry for the late response but I just want to tell you Joe is just breathe. The guys are right. Just relax and everything will go according to plan.
QB9- thanks guys, I really need the encouragement and Yoshi, mind your damn business
Day two of their trip, they did a little sightseeing, learning about this country and even trying some of the food. Serenity couldn’t get enough of the moussaka, considering she made Joe take several plates back to the hotel.
“Don’t judge me Joe, I’m carry your baby!”
“I wasn’t Seren, but you could at least share -glare from Serenity- or maybe not.”
On day three, the couple took a tour of at the National Archeological Museum which Joe mostly looked forward.
“Serenity, do think the baby will like Museums as much as I do?”
“Well Joe, babies inherit the personality traits from their father so yes.”
Day four was their last full day because they would be leaving tomorrow since training camp would start back up soon and they wanted to make sure Joe was back in time. Throughout the day, Joe distracted Serenity because he wanted to make sure she didn’t accidentally discover his plan. The sun was starting to set as Joe was finishing getting dressed to take Serenity out to dinner. The ring was in his back pocket and he constantly went over the words he was going to say.
“Babe, are you ready to go to dinner?” Joe asked, peaking in to the bathroom.
“Yeah,” said Serenity. She wore this black dress that fit her so perfectly and all Joe could do was stare at her in awe.
“You look so beautiful tonight Seren.” He kissed her hand.
“Thanks Joe, by the way what’s the occasion that we are dressing up for?”
“You will find out later on today.”
Dinner was nice, they had a candlelight dinner by the ocean, viewing the sunset. As they finished dinner, Joe led Serenity to the beach.
“Joe, what’s going on? Why are we walking to the beach?” Serenity asked.
“You will find out in a few seconds.” Joe replied.
They continue to walk down the beach until they reach a trail of rose petals and at this moment Serenity couldn’t help but tear up.
“Stop, please don’t tell me what I think you are about to what I think you are about to do Joe?”
He smiled and lead her to the arch. He caressed her hands in hopes to help her calm down.
“Serenity,” he smiled. “Do you want to know the first thing I thought when I saw you? I thought you were the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I could think about picturing a future with you. The past year of being together, I grew to love everything about you. From how hard you work in career, to how much you care and do a great job being a mother to Aniya. You came into my life, and made it better.”
He slowly grabbed the ring out his back pocket and slowly got down on one knee. “Serenity Patterson, will you marry me?”
Serenity couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. “Yes Joe, yes I will!”
He gently slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her. “What a great way to end the off season.”
“How long have you been planning this? It must have taken a lot of work.”
“Well I had began making the ring six months into the relationship and planned on proposing on our anniversary.” Joe explained as they began to make their way back to the hotel.
Shortly after Joe and Serenity arrived back from Greece, their phones were bombarded with congrats from the news of them getting engaged. They sat on the couch, cuddling and slowly enjoying the last few days before training camp started.
“Hey, so when do you want to start wedding planning?” Joe asked.
“Well, we can wait a couple months after babygirl is born so that way I can get some rest and adjust to two kids in the house.” Serenity replied.
“That’s sounds like a good plan. Just to think, in less than two months, we will be hearing the cute little sounds of baby Jamila.”
