Morning Surprise

AN: Hello everyone!! This piece is a long time coming and has been sitting in my drafts for a while. It is the first fiction piece I have ever published. Writing is something I’ve never been confident in, especially when it comes to writing actual stories. But after being a part of the Queen/BoRhap fandom for the last year or so, I was feeling inspired. Please be kind, but I welcome all comments and criticisms. I am definitely looking to improve.

Special thanks to the Thirsty Hoes TM for the confidence boost and support. I am so lucky to have found the most wonderful group of internet friends. I love you all 🥰🥰🥰

Warnings: none?? other than some good old fluff. It’s terribly cheesy but the world is in a terrible place right now and we all need some cheesy fluff in our lives. It’s inspired by the story line in Valentine’s Day with Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba except it’s happier than that lol. Maybe some implied smut at the end? Blink and you’ll miss it. Flashback scene in italics!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the sun peeked through the window, Y/N woke up with a groan. After a long night at work, she had literally come home, taken off her clothes, and fallen into bed. Her boyfriend, Joe, was already asleep when she got home but upon feeling the mattress shift, he put his arms around her and gave her a sleepy kiss on her forehead as she quickly drifted off in his arms.

As she stretched and rubbed her eyes, a cold metal feeling touched her skin. Confused, she completely opened her eyes and outstretched her left hand. Upon it, on that finger, the most beautiful ring she had ever seen. A gorgeous amethyst stone in a silver setting, exactly what Y/N had described to her best friend years ago and exactly what she would be asking her about as soon as she figured out what the hell was going on.

Y/N was in complete shock as she continued to stare at her hand. She had been with Joe for 3 years, officially moving in together a year ago. They had talked about their future together in the hypothetical, but never actually had a serious discussion about it. That is, until about 2 nights ago…..

“Seriously Y/N, just think about it!” Joe exclaimed as they both were watching the Yankees lose to the Red Sox on national television. “We can have enough kids to field a whole team! And then when they’re old enough, we’ll buy a team from someone in Major League Baseball. Even if we have all girls, we’ll make history!”

“Uh huh, sure, you’re just trying to distract yourself from the fact that the Yankees are getting completely destroyed right now.”

Joe grabs some popcorn from the bowl they are sharing and chucks it at Y/N while she laughs and tries to block it. “Ok, ok I may be kidding about the ‘whole team’ thing, but what do you think about the idea in general?”

“What? Having kids?”

Joe nods but looks down at his hands and fidgets with them, clearly anxious about what Y/N’s answer would be. It was something he had thought about since the moment he met her. All he wanted was to spend the rest of his life with her. He wanted it so bad and didn’t want to pressure her if she wasn’t ready but man, did he wanted nothing more than to marry and start a family with Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N.

Y/N takes a moment to look at him and she has never seen him this quiet. But as she watches him, she can’t help but picture their entire future together. How chaotic Joe would be as a dad, but also how loving and caring he would be. She thought of Joe teaching their future kids about sports and teaching them all about acting and maybe even getting them to participate in some obnoxious YouTube video. He would absolutely be the best father and she couldn’t picture starting a family with anyone else.

Grabbing some of the popcorn Joe had previously thrown at her, Y/N tosses it back to get his attention.

“Hey” she says with a smirk as Joe turns to look at her. She takes the opportunity to move closer to him, placing her forehead upon his.

“I would love nothing more than to have a family with you.” She says as she leans in and kisses him gently “But I am not having nine children.”

Tears forming in his eye, Joe laughs as he pulls Y/N into his chest and wraps his arms around her.

“Fair enough, now let’s watch the Yankees pull off a huge comeback right now.”

Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound from the kitchen followed by a few choice expletives from her boyfriend (or fiancé?)’s mouth that broke Y/N from her daydream. She doesn’t know why Joe is awake right now, being that this was the first Saturday that both of them have had off in ages and catching up on sleep was definitely on top of the list of things to do. Now wide awake and full of questions, Y/N silently made her way towards the commotion and smell of coffee.

Silently standing in the doorway, she watched and smiled as Joe hummed to the music playing from his phone, which Y/N soon realizes is their song. He was making waffles, bacon and hash browns, all of Y/N’s favorites. It wasn’t unusual for Joe to surprise her with breakfast in bed. However, when they had made plans to sleep in, this was definitely unexpected. Y/N watched Joe for a few moments more before clearing her throat to get his attention.

Turning around his lips turned up in a smile but his eyes went wide in shock.

“Y/N! Shit, you’re still supposed to be asleep” he says nervously as he sets down the ladle he was using to scoop batter in the waffle maker.

“Well good morning to you too” Y/N chuckles “I thought we were sleeping in today”

“Well yeah we were but…” Joe hesitates, visibly forcing himself to look her in the eyes and not look down at her hand, knowing full well he has some explaining to do.

Y/N, sensing his struggle, slowly lifts her hand up to eye level. “Care to explain this?”

Joe takes a deep breath and chuckles softly as he runs his hand through his hair, still wild from sleep.

“I had this whole plan figured out. I slipped the ring on your finger and was going to come back with breakfast in bed and a big speech about how much I love you…. Because fuck Y/N, I love you so much. I can’t imagine my world if you aren’t in it and I never want to find out.”

With tears starting to form in Y/N’s eyes, She opens her mouth to speak but Joe is too wrapped up in his speech to notice so he keeps on going.

“And kids? I don’t care how many we have. Two, ten, one and a couple of dogs, I don’t care. All I know is that I want all of it with you.”

Hearing a pause, Y/N closes the space between them before Joe can continue, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling them together.

“I love you so much Joe, and I cannot wait spend the rest of my life with you.”

The tears that have since started to form in Joe’s eyes slowly make their way down his face and he breaks into the biggest smile Y/N have ever seen.

“So you’ll marry me? Spend forever with me and our nine children?”

Letting out a laugh, Y/N playfully hits Joe’s shoulder while she watches him feign injury.

“I think you mean three, but yes. Yes I will marry you.”

Letting out a breath that he didn’t know he was holding, Joe brought his lips to Y/N’s as he slides his arms around her waist, lifting her up and spinning her in a circle. As they broke the kiss, they stayed in the embrace for a few moments longer, swaying to the music, still completely wrapped up in one another. As the song fades out, breakfast is soon forgotten as Joe carried Y/N to their bedroom bridal style for their own private celebration before they share their happy news with their loved ones.
