"She can come up,"

---
"Whwt were you like as a teenager?" She asked, leaning her head back to look at him.

"Pretty much like what Belle is now." He told her.
_________

Belle moved aside. "Well there you go." She watched Isadora walk up to him.

"A pain in the ass?" She teased gently, adding with a playful grin. "Not much has changed there then."

-----
Geo quietly headed back to his room, holding the door open for her.

He smiled softly.
______

Isadora followed him.

Geo closed the door behind them, whispering, "So I uh.... What - What exactly are you?"

----
Peyton returned the smile, lifting her hand up to brush her fingers down the length of his jawline. "I love you."

"I'm the daughter of a fallen angel." She told him.
_______

"I love you too." He told her.

"Whats a fallen angel? What do they do? What does it mean for you? I- I don't understand."

---
"Mm, prove it." She challenged.

"Okay, so my dad used to be an angel, as did my mum, but he was cast out of heaven after her death and I was cast out with him, our wings are black our souls are dark." SHe told him. "I can do magic, and I can hold the lives of humans in my hand and make the choice of death or mercy." She told him. "I fight demons and stop them from reaching humans and the heaven." She told him. "It doesn't mean much for me, it means I'm stuck here and I can't go back to heaven and I don't age."
_______

"Hmm, how would you like me to prove it?"

"You.... you have wings? Can I see? What was your dad cast out for, what did he do?"

----
"Mm, surprise me."

"He killed the man who killed my mother." She told him. "I do have wings, but I can't show you them here."
________

He smiled softly. "Well, I have something for you."

"I'm sorry about your mum," Geo told her quietly, "We can somewhere you can show me the wings, if you want to show me them or we can stay here. I don't mind I dont want to pressur- how old are you really then?"

---
"Oh?" Peyton asked with a eyebrow raise, turning her attention to adjust the collar of his top so it was more tidy.

"I'm sixteen." She told him. "We can go to the garden if you want."
______

He smiled softly and he disappeared for a minute before he came back.

She tilted her head to the side as she watched him, "What is it, Dre?"

----
He nodded, leading the way.

"We have been together for sixteen years, we have two children who yes are a pain in the ass and yes we fight but the fact that we are still here shows me that we are the strongest couple I know, so I want to ask you if you would consider taking this as far as we can and become my wife?" He asked as he got down on one knee in front of her holding a ring box out to her.
___

She went with him.

Geo held the back door open for her so she could enter the garden, "After you..."

----
Peyton's eyes widened, hanging on every word and slowly lifting her hands up to cover her mouth.nodding her head slowly, but not speaking; too busy silently crying happy tears.

He watched her. "Sweetheart, don't cry." He told her.
_____

She walked outside and she moved to a large open area of the garden and she took her school blazer off before she took off her ring on her finger.

"I can't help it," She half laugh, half sobbed. "I- I uh... actually..." She stumbled over words, heading into the kitchen for a few minutes, coming back with a blood lolly that had the glint of a ring frozen into the middle. "I- I was going to ask you too, I was just waiting for the right moment."

---
Geo watched closely.

He laughed. "I have to admit, your way is much more creative."
_____

When the ring was off, her skin became paler, her hair darker, her eyes became black and she had two black wings resting folded against her back.

"My way is a choking hazard," She laughed, before pulling him into a tight hug. Tangling her fingers in his hair gently.

----
"You're beautiful," Geo gasped, blown away by it all. Taking a couple of steps forward so he was close to her, studying her closely before glancing to the wings. "Are they big? Can I- Can I touch them?"

He held her close.
____

She held up a hand to stop him and she spread her wings, the feathers blacker than black and shiny in the sun.

"Your the best thing to ever happen to me," Peyton whispered, tangling her fingers in his hair and burying her face against the crook of his neck.

----
"Wow," He whispered.

"And you are the best thing to ever happen to me." He told her.
_________

She smiled softly.

She smiled warmly against his skin, just holding him, firm and close.

----
Geo hesitsted before allowing his own eyes to darken, and the veins beneath his eyes become more prominent, giving her a fang-filled grin.

She smiled softly. "Little vampire."
_______

He kept her close.

"Just as little as you are,"

----
Peyton pulled back from the hug then, "Can I wear the ring now?" she grinned.

----
Lorelai was coming back from a swim, wandering through the forest and toward Koby's pack contently. Her hair still soaking wet and dripping.

----
"You do know those burgers are actually disgusting though, right?" Sam asked Max with a frown from across the lunch table. "You see the inside of the van it would put you off."

"Nothing will ever put me off that burger van," Max shook his head, "Nothing."
