Request: Can I please have a part two? I wanna experience my heart exploding from cuteness

~ Your POV ~

The sound of a key twisting in the lock at the front door of your house wakes you, and brings you to full alert, despite how quiet it is. Gavin jumps to his feet and speeds down the stairs, skidding on the floors and sometimes slamming into the wall with excitement, because he knows as well as you do who's standing at the door right now. With a bright smile on your face, you drag your tired body out of bed and check the time, to see that it's 4am. From downstairs, you hear your favourite voice in existence whispering to Gavin.
"Hey buddy! I missed you too, but we've gotta be quiet, your mom's still asleep, it's real early in the morning, and we dont wanna wake her, ok? Yeah, you know it, let's go!"
You giggle to yourself as an idea pops into your head, and you quickly tiptoe back over to your bed and cozy up under the covers again, this time facing the door when you close your eyes and pretend to fall asleep. A few minutes later, Ethan's footsteps are deliberately light, but some of the floorboards still creak, and you hear him cursing under his breath, which would normally make you laugh, but you're on a mission right now. Using all your strength, you remain as still and emotionless as you can, keeping a straight faced expression as you pretend to sleep. Ethan tiptoes along the hall, with Gavin waddling at his side, and they both stop their motions when they find you "asleep" in bed.
Ethan sighs "Look at that sleeping angel, have you ever seen a prettier lady Gavin? 'Cause I sure havent, and I know I never will. Your mom? She's the best, one of a kind, the only girl for me." He tiptoes over to your bed and strips free of all his clothes except his boxers, then gets under the covers with you and pulls you into his arms.
"I love this girl so much." Ethan whispers, before kissing your forehead.
Not being able to keep up this charade any longer, you lean up to kiss him softly and say "She loves you too."
Ethan gasps "Were you awake this whole time!?!"
You giggle and nod mischievously.
Ethan frowns and shakes his head at you playfully "You sneaky little shit!"
You beam at him "That's me! I heard you talking to Gavin downstairs about not wanting to wake me, so I got back in bed and pretended to be asleep, just to see what would happen."
Ethan smirks "Well, lucky for me, I had a suspicion you'd do something like that, 'cause I know you, so I took Gavin into the living room to discuss a secret plan with him, where you couldnt hear."
You raise an eyebrow, the curiosity already eating you alive "What was it?"
Ethan laughs at your immediate persistence "Do you want me to do this now, or tomorrow? I was planning to do it tomorrow, because I thought you were asleep, or you'd WANT to be sleeping."
You scoff "I'd WANT to be sleeping as soon as you got home? Are you SURE you know me?"
Ethan chuckles "That's a good point."
You stare up at him with big eyes "To answer your question, Im totally fine with whatever it is, to happen right now."
Ethan sighs "I should've known." He looks over at the doorway, where Gavin still sits obediently "Go get it Gavin!"
Your son barks excitedly at your boyfriend, and then speeds off back down the stairs again.
You raise an eyebrow "How did you teach him to go and get the exact thing you want him to go and get, in the five minutes between you opening the door and beginning to walk up the stairs, when we havent even been able to teach him to high five us?"
Ethan laughs and shrugs "I guess it's that whole like-father-like-son thing."
You raise an eyebrow "How is he acting like you in this instance?"
Ethan grins cheesily "It takes him a long time to do basic things, but when it comes to doing things for you, he'll do them immediately, just like me!"
You place a hand over your heart "The fact that you're now allowed to legally say cute shit because you're back home and I can kiss you, is going to kill me very quickly." Sticking by what you said, you kiss his cheek.
Ethan smiles bashfully "Im not complaining about kisses!"
Little feets tippy tappin come back into earshot, and both you and Ethan look towards the bedroom door as your son bounds through with a small box in his mouth. Your eyes widen as you recognise it to be a ring box, and alarm bells echo inside your head. Please dont say Ethan's going to propose, oh my god, you're not ready for that! You're way too young, and marriage has always seemed like such an adult thing! Oh god!?!
Ethan kisses your temple "Dont worry, Im not proposing just yet, I have the same opinion as you do on that."
You breathe out a sigh of relief, causing Ethan to laugh as Gavin puts his front paws on your bed to drop the box in Ethan's hand. If it's not an engagement ring, then what is it? The curiosity is going to cause you to self destruct like those androids in Detroit: Become Human. Even though he's told you it isnt an engagement ring, Ethan is visibly very nervous as he fumbles to open the box, and his nervousness is something you find absolutely adorable. Your hands gently wrap around his to calm him down, and he smiles at you gratefully, then takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. Once he opens them again, he opens the box with ease, and you see the most beautiful ring you have ever laid eyes on.

The silver band is plain and solid, until it gets to the centre piece, where it splits off into three strands, the middle one dotted with small and clear gems, leading to three, bright blue, heart shaped gems in the centre

The silver band is plain and solid, until it gets to the centre piece, where it splits off into three strands, the middle one dotted with small and clear gems, leading to three, bright blue, heart shaped gems in the centre.
"I-I chose this one because of the three stones, to me it represents that you brought this family together, you're the centre piece of me and Gavin. You have the biggest, most beautiful heart, and that drew both of us in, then magnetised us to you, and we wouldnt want it any other way. I-It's a promise ring..."
You can tell that Ethan had to cut himself off from rambling further about the symbolism behind the ring and how much you mean to him. Tears sting your eyes.
"E-Ethan, I-" You start, but he cuts you off.
"I know it's not some overly fancy, gold flashy ring, a-and I can take it back if you dont like it." He blurts out.
You shake your head frantically and stare at him as a few tears slip down your cheeks, you laugh "Ethan, you're the biggest idiot I've ever known, but my fucking god do I love you." And with that, you pull him into a passionate kiss, one that he wasnt expecting.
You pull away first, and continue to talk "The ring is beautiful, the meaning you've given it makes it even more so, I cant even put this into words! I love it, Ethan, I really do."
He grins, a light blush forming on his cheeks "So, do you want to wear it?"
You nod wordlessly, and without hesitation Ethan removes the ring from the box and effortlessly slides it onto your ring finger. Holding your hand out in front of you, you admire the ring, fully understanding the meaning behind it, and the weight of this commitment, which you welcome with open arms. You're completely lost in your own thoughts, until Ethan sniffles beside you, and when you turn to look at him, he's trying his hardest not to cry.
"Im sorry, it's just, seeing you wear it, and what it means...it's doing something to me, I dont know, but I know that this was the right thing to do, I've never been more sure of anything in my life than I am of being with you. Even with youtube, I had my doubts, I never dreamt I'd be able to make it my full time job, but with you, there's never been any of those doubts, because I've known since the start. I love you, so much, and this ring is the promise that I am serious about that love, about us, and our future. My future is you, plain and simple." Ethan smiles at you, and can tell that this time, he didnt have to stop himself from rambling, he said everything he wanted to say.
More tears fall from your eyes as you tell him in a hoarse voice "I guess it's a good thing Im not going anywhere then."
Ethan laughs, and then pulls you into another heated kiss, which would have lasted much longer if Gavin hadnt launched himself onto the bed. You and Ethan both pull apart, and upon seeing your son's expression, you start laughing.
"Mooom, put Dad dooowwwnnn, he only just got hooome!" You imitate Gavin's voice, causing both you and Ethan to laugh harder.
"You guys arent allowed to fuck now, because Im here, so ha!" Ethan adds, imitating Gavin also.
You gasp "Gavin! Language!"
"Sorry Mom..." Ethan replies in a baby voice, while Gavin stares at you with a look of utter disappointment as you both burst out laughing.

But even with that look on his face, you can tell that Gavin is overjoyed for his parents.

He cant wait to carry the wedding rings down the aisle.
