#1 in Bob Floyd
#2 in...
These past five weeks I have been waited on hand and foot, Bob has basically moved in with us to be an extra set of hands. Helping me shower, change, eat and basically get around. The first few weeks were really hard, my ribs were sore, my face was beat up so bad I looked like I was in a fight and I still had to be in a wheelchair. When I looked at my face in the mirror for the first time I could see why Bob felt so guilty about what had happened, I looked terrible. Bob has been taking me to my physical therapy appointments and making me practice at home which I hate doing. But because of him I am healing faster than anticipated. I got my walking casts off this week, my ribs don't hurt anymore and all that left on my face is a little scar on my forehead.
I was finally able to go back to working full time this week too. Penny was working extra hours due to the fact I wasn't able to help around as much. I felt terrible that she had to work so hard for these past four months, but grateful that Bob was here to take care of the house. It was fun watching him be my little house husband, cooking meals, cleaning, taking care of Amelia and helping her with homework. I would be lying if I didn't admit that the image of him with her made me want to have children with him. Bob would be such a great father, so understanding and patient. Falling in love with Bob has been the best experience of my life, this world does not deserve someone as special as him.
Bob was tucking me into bed for the night, laying next to me like he had every night in the past few weeks. We would talk about our future, his day and how stupid new recruits can be sometimes, and how crazy drunk people are. We would just sit their laughing, enjoying each others company like every night.
"I love that you come home to me every night" I said to Bob as we began to fall asleep.
"Why don't you move in with me on base then?" He suggested rubbing my back.
"Don't you have to be married to do that?" I laughed sitting up to face him.
"Then we will get married" Bob smirked looking back at me.
"Is this your way of purposing to me Bob Floyd?" I joked back at him.
"No, when I purpose to you I want to do it right" He laughed trying to play it cool.
"When?" I asked Bob slightly confused.
"Yeah, when, I love you Y/N and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" Bob confessed.
"I love you too, and spending the rest of my life with you might not be enough, I think I might need an eternity with you" I blush looking him in the eyes. Enjoying that we are both head over heels for each other.
Getting ready for tonight I put on more makeup than usual, shaved my legs for the first time in four months, and actually made a big effort to look good. Because tonight Bob and I will be attending a military ball on a naval carrier, to celebrate the birthday of the Naval Academy. Apparently it is really important and we are supposed to look our best, at least that is what Bob told me while forcing me to try on different ball gowns. I had to meet Bob there at the dance because he needed to help set things up and wouldn't have enough time to come get me. Spraying perfume on my neck and wrists I hear my phone buzz, looking at it I see Bob sent me another message and another picture. Bob loved sending me pictures, he said its a fail safe if he ever leaves for another mission or gets reassigned somewhere.
Bob: Excited to see you tonight

Walking onto the ship it was a surreal feeling, there where string lights everywhere, food and drinks everywhere. The music was played by a live band, I didn't realize that was even possible anymore, taking in the scene around me I spot Bob across the dance floor. Looking at how handsome he was in his uniform I couldn't help but think about how badly I wanted to drag him into a spare room right now. Walking up to him I called "Hey Floyd" trying to get his attention, Bob's eyes met mine for a moment before he slowly looked me up and down, his mouth opened slightly. "Well hello Miss Benjamin" Bob pulled me in for a kiss "You look absolutely amazing might I add".
The night passed in a blur, Bob and I danced most of the night before he pulled me off to walk around the ship. Holding my hand I could feel how sweaty his palm was, which is odd because his hands are never sweaty. "Are you okay Floyd?" I ask him laughing slightly.
"Never better" Bob smiled pulling me in for a kiss "okay come on let's keep walking" he pulled my hand as we walked to the front of the ship looking out into the ocean. Bob let go of my hand putting it in his pocket before speaking.
"Y/N?" I looked at him before he continued "I know we have only been together for five months now but I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, take you with me whenever I get reassigned. But you already know that can't happen unless we are married." He slowly got on one knee and pulled a box out of his pocket, opening it to reveal a beautiful engagement ring. "So Y/N will you marry me?".
Covering my face with my hands I could feel them shake from the excitement and nerves of Bobs proposal. "Yes" was all I could say before Bob stood up spinning me around and pulling me in for a passionate kiss.
Breathless he says "I know you wanted to wait longer before we got married, its just I can't move away from you I love you too much. We can elope if you want get a prenup anything you want if it means you'll marry me".
Laughing at how unsure of his proposal he was I respond looking him in the eyes "Bob, I want to marry you, I know I have only known you for a short period of time but I mean you're in the military what else did I expect?"
Rolling his eyes Bob looked away slightly hurt that he now fits the military stereotype "Ouch". Bob pulls me in and we began dancing to the song softly playing behind us, swaying back and forth just enjoying the silence.
Lifting my head to look Bob in the eyes again "So Floyd what should we do now?" I asked him smiling.
"I don't know Floyd, should we get out of here?" He asks before grabbing my hand walking me back to the party.
