You opened the front door to the cottage to see Jefferson knelt down in front of Grace. As soon as the pair saw you they both smiled widely at you.

"Hello Y/N," Grace smiled, "I'm going to go to my room."

You smiled at her although you were slightly confused. Grace always enjoyed your company it was rather odd that she scurried from the room as you entered it. Although Jefferson wasn't shocked by his daughter's actions, he was just happy to see you

He rushed towards you pulling you into a warm embrace.

"Hello my love," he smiled kissing your nose.

"Hello," you smiled in return, "is everything okay with Grace?"

"She is fine, why do you ask?"

"Did I interrupt something? You two were talking when I got here, and as soon as I arrived, she left the room. Did I do something wrong?" you frowned, slightly confused.

"No," he laughed softly, "we were talking, about you actually. I had to ask her something about you, before I could speak with you about a rather important matter."

Your frown wiped from your face, although you were still quite baffled.

"Why were you discussing me?" you asked softly.

"I wanted to know Grace's thoughts on you. She has always seemed to like you, but I didn't know if she truly did enjoy your company. Not that I doubted it, but I know my daughter, she wouldn't tell me if she was upset, if it meant I wasn't happy. But as I expected she loves you nearly as much as I love you," he smiled sweetly.

Your smile grew. You knew that Grace liked you, but it was certainly nice to be reassured of her feelings towards you.

"So what I wanted to ask her was whether she would be okay if you joined our family, and she responded with that you were always part of our family. Although that is correct, I'd like to be able to make it official. We love having you here, and it could only be better if we became a proper family. I love you Y/N, will you marry me?" he smiled softly, getting down on one knee holding out a ring to you.

You nodded frantically, with your smile spreading further across your face.

"I love you Jefferson," you grinned.

He stood up slipping the ring onto your finger, before pulling you closer to him, kissing your lips. Once he pulled away from the kiss, he wrapped his arms around you. Quickly another set of arms wrapped around the pair of you.

You looked down to see Grace smiling at the both of you.

"I told you she'd say yes," she smiled softly.
