The crowd fell completely silent as Bella stood there, tears streaming down her face. Paige and Zack looked at each other confused and Alex chewed his lip, suddenly wondering if this was as good of an idea as he first thought.

Bella was dumbstruck, but the kick in her stomach brought her back to reality, as if to say "What the fuck are you doing? You love this man, and he loves you, so marry him. You idiot."

"Fuck.." Bella thought. "Isobel has a good, smart head on her already."

Bella looked at Alex through teary eyes and nodded faintly.

Alex smiled the biggest smile ever. "I don't think I heard that, Bella." He urged.

"Yes!" Bella shouted as Alex squeezed her hand tight, looking at her as she nodded. The crowd went absolutely wild. He took the ring from the box and threw it into the crowd, as he held out Bella's ring finger and slid the engagement ring on. It was a perfect fit, and it was so beautiful.

"I love you, Bella. And I can't wait to marry you." Alex said as he smiled up at Bella, standing up and giving her the biggest and longest kiss they had ever shared. Bella looked at Alex longingly, as he wiped the tears away from her face, jokingly grimacing at the black smudges all over his hand. Bella couldn't stop the tears as she carried on wiping her eyes.

The crowd were still cheering loudly as Paige, Zack, Rian, Jack and all of the available crew members ran on stage to congratulate Alex and Bella. The newly engaged couple just stood in the middle of the massive group hug, looking at each other and smiling wide. They kissed. They laughed. They cried. And they kissed some more.

Everyone eventually parted the group hug and went back to their positions, and as Paige guided Bella back to the sidelines, Alex called the introduction to 'Vegas'.

"Tonight, we lie awake. Remember how the coffee made us shake on those long drives, one more long night.." The music kicked in and Bella stood there, watching her fiance sing his heart out. He looked back at her on the odd occasion, smiling as new tears formed in both of their eyes. Alex messed up a couple of lines, but given the situation, the crowd cheered the band on regardless.

Bella and Paige embraced.

"I can't believe it! Why didn't you tell me?! I wouldn't have worn so much makeup! I look like a fucking panda!" Bella screamed at Paige over the music, laughing hard and poking Paige. "Oh my God, I can't fucking believe it, Paige! I'm engaged! To Alex fucking Gaskarth! What the fuck just happened?!" Paige laughed some more, still wiping away her tears.

"Would you really have wanted me to ruin a beautiful moment, like that?" Paige questioned, holding Bella tight.

"I would have rather kept my makeup on! Oh my God, I'm a mess! And my feet are fucking killing me! Why did nobody tell me that these shoes were a bad idea?!" Bella laughed, still in a state of hysteria. Paige knew not to bother answering the question. Instead, she gave Bella a knowing glance and leaned down. She removed her dolly shoes and handed them to Bella, who just laughed and took the shoes from Paige. "Can you do me a massive favour, best friend?"

"Oh God, what?"

"I'm not used to this massive stomach. And I can't even see my toes, let alone reach them."

"How on earth did you get the shoes on in the first place then?!" Paige exclaimed.

"With great struggle! Now please help me! My feet are about to drop off! And I've heard they come in useful for walking down the aisle on your wedding day!"

Paige just laughed and knelt down to unbuckle Bella's shoes, balancing her as she stepped out of them and slipped on the dolly shoes. Paige buckled her own feet into Bella's heels and staggered as she tried to stand up. "Fucking hell, Bella. Never wear these again because I will not swap with you anymore." She laughed.

Bella felt a pair of hands around waist. She turned round to see Alex, still singing.

"From coast to coast, I'll make the most of every second I've been given with this crowd. Without a doubt, you're all I dream about." He kissed Bella, missing the next few lines of the song and not giving a single fuck. He picked her up, carrying her back on stage as the crowd once again, cheered even louder. Bella stood in front of Alex, exactly where she had been standing less than fifteen minutes ago, when he was down on one knee, proposing to her. She burst into tears again and he laughed during song, wiping her tears away.

Bella woke up the next morning, next to Alex.

She hardly remembered the night before, in fact, she didn't even remember how the hell she got in to bed. The last thing she remembered was sitting next to a slightly intoxicated Alex on the tour bus, as they drove each of them home.

Rolling over in bed and laying on Alex's chest, memories came back to her. The smell of him; he smelt of her favourite deodorant of his and a vague hint of alcohol was also present, but it wasn't overpowering. In fact, it was somewhat soothing. She remembered they went to drop Jack off home, and they stopped and he refused, telling them to stop being silly as he was going to carry on the party. They stopped outside of Rian's house, who had pretty much said the same thing. So they dropped everyone off at the last stop; their house. Alex and Bella's house. Zack and Paige's house.

Bella snuggled into Alex's chest as he hummed in his sleep, pulling her closer and holding her tight. She remembered that everybody had been drinking, apart from her. She was the sober one because she was the pregnant one, but she didn't care, because she had Alex, she had her best friends. She was surrounded by one big family.

Then she remembered that Paige and Zack had disappeared upstairs, and Paige had winked at her and she knew exactly what was about to happen. Bella remembered how everyone whistled when they heard Paige's slight moans. And then the laughter when the moans stopped and everything went quiet.

She remembered how Alex said it might be a good idea for them two to go upstairs as well, and when she'd asked why in that tired yet sexy tone of voice of her's, Alex had simply pressed her against him and she realised why. The two of them had headed upstairs and he'd kissed her all the way from the top of the stairs and up to the bedroom door. And he'd kissed her as he pushed her through the doorway and pinned her against the door as it shut. And he'd kissed every single part of her body as he undressed her slowly, paying attention to every piece of skin of her's that he rendered bare.

Bella raised one of her legs over Alex's, trying to close the distance between their bodies even more. "Damn, is this a symptom of pregnancy? Being turned on all the fucking time?" Bella thought to herself. She laid there and let herself relive the previous night.

She bit her lip as she remembered how he'd kissed up the insides of her thighs whilst she was still standing there, completely naked. Completely pregnant. And yet that hadn't put him off. Bella remembered how he had pushed his tongue so deep inside of her, and his hands had wandered all over her body, and she'd gone so completely weak at the knees that she had to beg him to take her over to the bed. And he'd done just that and carried on.

Bella remembered how he had thrust inside of her, and they had made the sweetest love ever. But yet at the same time, it was the hottest sex they'd ever had. She remembered how he'd drunkenly leaned down to her bump and said "Please try not to come out yet, it will be very awkward" and she'd tried to contain her laughter as he kissed her so passionately and.. and full of love.

She opened her eyes and found herself grinding into Alex's body.
