Disclaimer: Katie: I don't like the sound of this chapter...
Me: Well! Hmph! I can do as I wish!
Katie: No you can't! Only Rick owns us!
Me: Oh, Uncle Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!! *goes off*
Katie: She doesn't own PJO nor HOO, thank goodness!
About: Travis has been thinking about it for a long time... Now it's time to pop the question! Can he do it?
Time: 13 years after the war. Katie's pregnant. It's Christmas time.
Travis' POV:
I was going to do it! I would!
I was going to propose to Katie! I would do it!
Oh, gods. Deja vu just hit. I felt like I was back to the point where I was going to ask Katie out.
Christmas time was usually my favourite time of the year, but today I felt like I was going to be sick.
"Travis! Sweetie! Are you up yet?" Katie's voice shook me from my thoughts. I hadn't realized how long I had stayed in bed.
Longer than usual, I was sure.
"Travis?"
Katie peeked around the doorway into our bedroom. Her hand was on her steadily protuding abdomen.
I smiled weakly at her and got up.
I quirked an eyebrow at her Santa hat. Katie shrugged, laughing.
"I thought I would humour you this year." she smirked. Her smile faded quickly though, as she took a good look at my face.
"You okay? You look a bit pale." she asked.
I rested my forehead on hers. "I'm fine. Just a little tired. I had a rough night."
That was no lie. I had been up all night wondering if my plan would work. I had a special way to propose, but I didn't know if it would work.
Katie smiled again at me, raising her chin to brush her nose against mine. "Well, it's Christmas, ya know. Cheer up. I'll get you some coffee and then we'll have breakfast."
"Then presents?" I tried to sound cheerful, and thankfully it seemed to convince Katie.
She grinned and ruffled my hair with one hand, the other resting lightly on her stomach. "I'll see you in the kitchen when you're ready."
I glanced at the clock as she left. It was already 9:45. On any other normal Christmas, I would have thought it a crime to still be sleeping in so late.
Today, I just wished I could sleep all day. I couldn't afford to chicken out, though. My man card would be taken away for sure.
And I would lose another chance for Katie.
That was the most depressing part. Nevertheless, I dragged myself from bed and got ready.
~PRESENT TIME!
Katie's POV:
If there's one thing I want for Christmas it's Travis.
I want Travis to propose. I'm just scared he won't. That he'll chicken out, or he doesn't want me at all.
I slowly rubbed my stomach as the child inside of me kicked slightly. I already had a slight suspision that the baby was a girl.
I eased myself onto the ground in front of the Christmas tree.
