   Beau's POV
I was panicking a little, I had planned everything, of course, there was always the tiniest possibility that she would say no, but I had to put that behind me, she's the first woman that has ever made me feel like this, she's the sweetest, most selfless, smartest, most beautiful woman I've ever met, I can't imagine what my life would be if she wasn't there, so was I panicking a little bit, yes but was I also overly excited, also yes, she is the love of my life. We got to Olive Garden, and before she could get out of the car I got out and opened her door for her
"Well, thank you, beau," she said
"You're welcome, love," I told her
We went inside and waited to be seated, we got a table and ordered our drinks,
"Beau I don't even know if I'll be able to eat anything," she told me
"You can try, and if you can't we'll find something you can, I'm sure there will be something that will sound good to you," I told her
"Hopefully you're right, I'm going to be pissed if I can't eat anything," she said
The waiter came with our drinks
"I have a coke for you sir and a water for you ma'am," he told us as he set our drinks down
"Are you guys ready to order?" He asked
I looked up at Estella and she shook her head at me
"Not quite, we need just a few more minutes please," I told him
"Okay, take your time," he said as he walked away
"Do you see anything that sounds good love?" I asked
"Ooh, the shrimp Alfredo sounds really good," she said
"Love you don't like shrimp," I said
"I know but it sounds good," she told me
"Okay if you think you'll be able to eat it, I just want to make sure you can eat something," I told her
A few minutes later the waiter came back over
"You guys ready?" He asked
"I think so," I told him
"Alright, what can I get you guys today?" He asked
"The shrimp Alfredo please," Estella said
"Alright, shrimp Alfredo, soup or salad with that?" The waiter asked
"Salad please," she told him
"Alright and for you sir?" He asked
"Herb-grilled salmon with a salad please," I told him
"Alright, what kind of dressing for those salads?" He asked
I looked at Estella, she looked at me and mouthed "Ranch please"
"Ranch for both," I told the waiter
"Alright your food will be out soon," he told us
I watched as Estella drank almost her whole glass of water in one go, she put her cup down and smiled at me
"What made you decide to eat out Beau?" She asked
That's when I started to panic again, I suck at lying
"Um, I told you, I have a surprise for you and I wanted to take you out to lunch first," I told her as I picked up my drink so I didn't say anything stupid
"Well, what kind of surprise is it?" She asked
"Remember that surprise I told you I got for you and the babies a few weeks ago," I asked
"Yeah?" She said
"It has a lot to do with that," I told her
I hoped she couldn't tell that I was acting a little weird, we talked a little about baby names while we waited on our food,
"Okay, what about Luke?" I asked her
She scrunched her nose up at me
"Luke? That's such an overused name" she told me
I chuckled at her
"What do you mean it's overused?" I asked
"I mean, we both have names you don't hear a lot so I think our kids should have names that you don't hear often, don't you think" she said
"Yeah, you're right, they should have pretty unique names," I said
"Okay then, what about Jayden?" She asked
"Mm, I don't know about that," I told her
"Come on we could have Jordon and Jayden," she said
"I thought we were having a boy and a girl," I said playfully, she nudged my leg under the table
"Jordon can be a girl's name!" She said
"Meh, I don't really care for those names," I told her
"Ugh fine what about Atlas and Athena?" She asked
"I kinda like those," I told her
That's when our food showed up,
"I have a shrimp Alfredo for you and the herb-grilled salmon for you sir, is there anything else I can do for you guys?" He asked
"Uh, I don't think so, thanks," I told him
"Ugh, Beau did you have to get the smelliest thing on the menu?" Estella asked as she covered her nose
"Sorry love," I told her as I hid a smile
Her face started looking a little green
"Are you okay love?" I asked
"Yeah, I just need to go to the bathroom I'll be right back," she said as she got up
While she was gone I got the waiter's attention,
"Is there something wrong with your food sir?" He asked,
"No, no, it's fine, but while my girlfriend is in the bathroom I wanted to ask, she's most likely going to want dessert so whatever she orders I want you to get whoever makes it to write 'Will you marry me?' On it" I said
"I can definitely do that sir," he told me
"Thank you," I told him
