You Two Talk About Getting Married

Chris:
You were patching Chris up after his dad had just beaten him. You were in the kitchen, dabbing his bleeding back when he suddenly winced in pain.

"I'm so sorry, Chris. I know it hurts," You said.

Chris mumbled in response, "It's fine."

Once you finished cleaning him up, you sat on his lap and he wrapped his arms around your waist. You gently kissed his temple in an attempt to comfort him. For a while, neither of you dared to speak. You learned from experience that Chris didn't like to talk after stuff like this happened. Therefore, you never started the conversation. You would wait until Chris spoke up that way you knew he was ready to talk.

Finally, Chris said, "I swear, I'm never going to treat our kids this way."

"Our kids?" You asked out of surprise.

This caught you off guard because you and Chris had never really talked about marriage or children before. Of course, you two loved each other deeply and told each other that often, but you had never talked about anything that serious.

Chris paused for a moment, most likely amusing he said something wrong, before starting to backtrack, "I didn't mean to...I just meant that...if we got married one day then..."

"If we get married one day, you'll be the best dad in the world," you told him, "and I'd be honored to be your wife."

You smiled at Chris as he said this. He smiled back at you before continuing, "And we'll live somewhere far away from Castle Rock, and have...two kids, maybe?"

You nodded at that, "Two kids. A boy and a girl. And we'll live in a nice house with a giant backyard so you can teach the kids to play baseball."

"I like that idea," Chris said, still smiling.

You responded, "I like that idea too."

You leaned in and gave Chris a kiss that he glady reciprated. When he pulled away, he said, "I love you."

"I love you too," you responded.

Gordie:
Your parents decided to have a vow renewal for their anniversary, and have a nice party at the country club afterwards. Of course, both you and your parents invited Gordie, and he was more than happy to come.

Gordie sat next to you during the ceremony, and held your hand the entire time. Occasionally, he looked over at you and smiled, and you always smiled back at him. You knew that Gordie loved seeing your parents, not just because they were wonderful to him, but also because he loved seeing what a healthy and happy marriage looked like as he never saw that from his parents.

Afterwards at the party, your parents invited both sets of your grandparents as well as you and Gordie to join them on the dance floor for the first dance. Although Gordie was a little embarrassed going up in front of all your family, he was mostly honored that your parents included him.

As you and Gordie slow danced, you whispered to him, "Are you enjoying yourself so far?"

"This is amazing," Gordie responded, whispering as well, "To see how much your parents still love each other after all these years, it makes me think..."

Gordie stopped after that, but you knew that there was more to his thought. You asked him, "Makes you think what?"

Gordie took a deep breath before answering, "Makes me think that it could be us one day."

You smiled at him, "I've thought about that too."

"Really?" Gordie asked with a hopeful smile on his face.
