“Yes”

Dana heard only that one word all of the cheering and yelling meant nothing to her only the one word yes.

“Alice you have made me the happiest woman in the world”                                                “No Dana you have made me the happiest woman in the entire world.”

Dana got up from the floor and kissed Alice. They put everything they had in to this kiss, forgetting that they were in public.

“Okay you two break it up.”

Both women broke from the kiss and blushed.

“Okay I’m going to make a toast everyone get a glass.”                                                                ”This is so unlike you Shane.”                                                                                                           “I know Bette just get a glass.”                                                                                                       “Well alright Miss Bossy pants.”                                                                                                   “I’d like to propose a toast. I hope that each and everyone of us has a wonderful new year. I see nothing but bright futures of all of us. I’d also like to propose a toast to Dana and Alice. I wish you the best of luck and many years of happiness. I couldn’t think of two better people to get married. It took you guys a long time to realize your feelings for each other but in the end I think it only made the realtionship stronger. The two of you have set a high standard of what a relationship should be and I only hope that one day I can live up to those standards myself. So heres to you and your new life together.

There wasn’t a dry in the gang the only noise coming from the Planet at the very moment was sniffling and the sound of the glasses clinging together. It was getting late and everyone arranged for taxis to take them home. Dana and Alice wrode home in complete silence but it an extremely happy silence. It wasnt untill Dana and Alice where home changed and in bed for sometime when Alice spoke.

“Dana baby are you still awake?”                                                                                              ”Yea Al what’s wrong?”                                                                                                           “Nothing I just wanted to tell you that I couldnt be more proud to be your wife. You have made my life full and complete. I don’t know how I ever lived my life without you in it. You are my everything, Dana.”                                                                                                               “Al I couldnt be more proud to have you as my life. Some days I think I dont deserve you and then all I have to do is hear you say I love you are hold you in my arms and I know that I deserve you. You have done so much for me Al. You have made me the happiest woman in the world not cause you agreed to marry me but you have always made me the happiest woman in the world. Without you I would not exist.                                            “Awww Dana I love you so so fucking much.”                                                                               “I love you Al.”

They managed to snuggle just a tad bit closer before drifting off the sleep. Dana and Alice had to get up early the next morning. At Thanksgiving they had made plans to get together at Dana’s parents house for New Years Day dinner. Alice got up and got ready and then went to pick up Lenore. Lenore knew right away something was up she could see it in both of the women’s eyes. They arrived at the Fairbanks residence and Sharon had the same thoughts that Lenore had. They were just getting ready for dinner when Dana broke the news.

“Mom, Dad, Lenore, Howie, Alice and I have something we need to tell you.”                     “What is it honey?”                                                                                                                       “Alice and I are umm….engaged i propsed last night.”

Dana took Alice’s hand and showed everyone the ring.

“So getting married for real this time no strings attached.”                                                  “Yes mother I am very much in love with Alice and nothng could come between us. I want to spend the rest of my life with her.”                                                                                       “Well good cause she’s the one I want you to spend the rest of your life with.”             “Mom you havent said anything.”

Truth be told Lenore was in complete shock. The thought of Alice getting married had never crossed her mind, but none the less she was happy her for daughter.

“Alice honey I think that you and Dana will have a great marriage filled with love and understanding. You two are perfect for each other.”                                                                      “Thank you mom.”

Alice and Dana were in complete awe both of there parents approved the engagment.
