Emmett drove home with me so we could tell my dad together. When we walked into the house dad was on the couch polishing his gun, which made me even more nervous. I know Emmett couldn't get hurt, but if dad shot him we would have to tell him our secret and that would put him in danger. "Dad we have something to tell you," I announced. "You better not be pregnant," he said. If I could blush, my face would be as red as a tomato. "Dad! I'm not pregnant!" I exclaimed. "Then what is it that you wanted to tell me?" he asked. "Emmett and I are engaged, he proposed this morning." I said happily. He didn't say anything, he just sat there. "I know you might not like this, but...." he cut me off. "I can see that you two love each other, and I'm not going to stand in the way of your happiness," he said. I was so happy that I hugged him. "Okay, I'm going to go turn up the heat, your freezing." he added.
