Forever Together

No. 6 I Do

NERIC

Summary: Eric finally pops the question. What will Nell say and will her answer change the dynamic of their relationship.

Chapter 1

Nell and Eric had been dating for months but nobody knew until yesterday when they told Hetty and then the team. It wasn't easy but the team smiled and supported them both.

Eric's POV

Nell and I had dated for months without anyone finding out and yesterday they all found out. I wanted them to find out because I was planning on proposing to Nell, and I wanted them all to know before we possibly get engaged. "So, Nell can we talk?" I asked wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her neck "sure," she said I took her out of Ops and to the parking lot

"8 o'clock tonight at 'Petés' I made reservations" I told her

"Ok then I'll be there, is there a dress code?" She asked.

I remembered she'd never been to Petés before even though there was no dress code I played along for the special occasion "yes, smart casual," I replied

"Then I'll were that short white dress you like and tomorrows Saturday we can sleep in," she said winking at me. I smiled, we kissed and then walked back to Ops hand in hand.

Chapter 2

Nell's POV

It was 7:30 and my date with Eric was in half an hour and he would be here to pick me up soon. I quickly got showered, dried off, did my makeup and even curled my hair, cleaned my teeth and then I put on my red knee length dress. It was Eric's favourite, boy I loved him and I knew he loved me too, suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted my thoughts, it was Eric I smiled and got up I grabbed my red high heels with a golden ribbon and put them on, I opened the door to find Eric in a nice black and white suit. I put my arms around him and he put his arms around my waist we kissed for a while and then left for the restaurant, I had a strange feeling in my stomach something was different.

"This restaurant is beautiful Eric, thank you so much," I said after finishing my meal I smiled at my boyfriend, he smiled back and stared at me. Suddenly 3 waitresses came towards us and Eric stood up "Eric what's happening?" I asked confused and Sam, Callen, Kensi, Deeks and Hetty came out of nowhere and they started walking towards us. Eric pulled out a little dark blue box and got down on one knee oh my gosh this is really happening he's about to propose, isn't he I thought.

I couldn't hide the huge smile that crept across my face

"Nell since the first day we met I felt a connection, the day you agreed to go out with me was the second-best day of my life, today is the best day no matter what the outcome is. I just know that... I want to spend the rest of my life with you." I started to cry

" So ... Nell Jones, will... you... marry...me?" He asked smiling, I smiled right back at him "Yes!" I said excited, he picked me up in his arms and spun me around we kissed and then left the restaurant to celebrate.

*3 months later *

Chapter 3

Eric's POV

"....and do you Eric Beale, take Nell Jones to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Asked the minister

"I do," I replied smiling at Nell. She looked beautiful in her dress

"...and do you Nell Jones, take Eric Beale to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The minister asked Nell

"I do," she smiled. I let out a sigh of relief

"You may now kiss the bride," he said. We kissed and then walked slowly down the aisle hand in hand, we then got into the limo and we were then driven to our hotel.

***

"Here we are," I said to Nell grabbing her hand, she had a huge smile on her face she started to kiss me, we wrapped our arms around each other I slowly moved my arms down her back. We separated for air but we didn't stay apart for long, we started to celebrate our marriage in ways that are too good to describe. I loved my wife and this was the start of something special.
