And Face Today (Sequel to We'll Brave This Storm) [COMPLETED]

"Andy...I...."

Andy looked up at me, and for the first time in my life, I saw him nervous. Andy- the man who has performed in front of hundreds and hundreds of people and dealt with more than his fair share of haters, and he was nervous about asking me a question.

"Yes...I'll marry you," I said.

A smile grew on Andy's face as he slid the ring onto my ring finger. Andy got off of his knees and spun me around. A laugh escaped my lips and Andy set me down gingerly. We looked into each others eyes for a drawn-out moment, then he crashed his lips into mine.

I felt him smiling into the kiss, and I couldn't help but smile too. I was engaged to Andy. I felt like I was floating on cloud nine in that moment.

I pulled away from the kiss and picked up Skylar, who I had previously set on the couch by her wall of stuffed animals.

"Hey baby-girl! Guess what! Mommy and daddy are getting married!" I grinned.

She looked at me with her blue eyes sparkling.

"I don't ever want to forget this moment....ever," I said.

"Care to share a bit of this moment with the rest of the world?" Andy asked, waving his phone in front of me.

"Hell yes!"

I leaned up against Andy and held Skylar to my chest. We smiled and Andy took a picture on Instagram.

I looked at the picture while Andy was typing in the caption 'my baby @mel's_bells is back home with me again....we may have some news for you guys soon ;)'. Admittedly, I didn't look my best with bed-head and no makeup on, but for the first time, I didn't care what everyone else would think. I was happy and so was Andy. If others couldn't accept it, then fuck them. I was done being self-concious. I was done thinking that I did something wrong when 'fans' would send me hate messages. I was done taking crap from people.

"You look beautiful, babe," Andy mumbled into my neck as he covered me in gentle kisses.

"You're too sweet."

Andy chuckled, causing his vibrating lips to tickle my neck. But, our moment of peace was interrupted by Andy's phone buzzing in his front pocket, making him let out a slightly frustrated sigh.

"Let the hate begin," I laughed.

I quickly made my way to Skylar's room and set her down in the crib. I couldn't let her be in the room while we discussed haters. I wanted her away from that conflict for as long as possible.

I soon made my way back to the livingroom where Andy was focussed intently on his phone. I took out my phone and checked Instagram. Not even two minutes and there were already loads of comments.

whysosickly72: Aww! You two are so adorbs!

losingtheirreligion: Skylar looks so cute! She'll break a few hearts, I can tell! <3

aintthatsucky66: Mel, You look like you've been hit by a truck. I honestly can't see why Andy is with you. Your relationship won't last.

"I got some mixed responses. Do you want to really piss the band whores off?" I asked Andy with a smirk.

"Do you think they could handle it?"

"Ehh...probably not," I replied.

"Let's do it."

I took my phone and aimed the camera at us. I kissed Andy's cheek while holding up my newly-ringed hand and snapped a photo. I shared it on Twitter and posted it on Instagram with the caption 'I'm engaged to the most amazing man on earth! I feel like the happiest woman in the world!'

A few seconds later Andy commented on my photo.

andybvb: You look beautiful, Princess. Can't wait to be married to you <3

"You're adorable, you know that?" I said, pecking his jawline.

"I try my best. Oh....Shit!!!" Andy said, apperently realizing something.

"Andy? What's wrong?"

"I forgot to tell my mom!"

I widened my eyes. Amy deffinately wouldn't be happy that she wasn't the first to know. This couldn't be good.

"Well, call her! She'll murder you if you don't!"

Andy fumbled with his phone and dialed his mom. The phone rang three times before Amy answered it.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey, mom. It's Andy."

"Andy! I'm glad you called! I haven't talked to you in ages!"

"Um...yeah...sorry about that...." Andy mumbled.

"It's fine. I'm sure you have been busy with Skylar."

"Yeah...anyways, I have some news for you."

"Really? What is it?"

"Well, Mel came home last night...."

"That's wonderful! How is she?"

"She's great, mom. But, I have something even bigger to tell you."

"And that would be?" Amy asked, slightly concerned.

"Well, I just proposed to Melanie."

There was a brief moment of silence.

"What did she say?"

"She said yes."

"Oh my goodness, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you! CHRIS! ANDY IS GETTING MARRIED!!!" She yelled to, I'm guessing Mr. Biersack.

"Um, mom. I gotta go, but I'll talk to you later," Andy said.

"Okay, honey. Tell Melanie I'm excited to have her as a daughter-in-law."

"I will," Andy said as he hung up the phone
.
"Well, we dodged a bullet on that one," I said, letting out a deep breath that I hadn't realized I had been holding in.

"Yeah....I wonder how the guys are going to take it, though."

"I think they'll be excited, but you sir, have a very difficult decision to make."

"I do?"

"Yes. You have to chose a best man for our wedding."

Andy gulped.

I knew this wouldn't be easy for him. Who would he choose? Ashley? Nah, he'd probably get a little too drunk, plus he wasn't a wedding sort of guy. CC? Probably the same issue as Ashley. Jinxx? He's a possibility. Jake? Another possibility. Matt Good? Him and Andy have been best friends for forever, so he's probably close to the top of the list. Danny Worsnop? Andy is really close with him as well. The list of possibilities goes on and on. I was more fortunate in this aspect, because my only girlfriends were Sammi, Ella, Kenzi, and Diamond. I loved them all to death, but I would chose Diamond, hands down. I've known her for such a long time and she's like a sister to me.

"Do I have to have a best man?" Andy asked me.

"Yep," I said, popping the 'p.'

"Do you have any advice?"

"Well...which one of your best friends looks best in a suit?"

"Probably Matt."

"Then choose Matt."

"He'd get drunk, though."

"Yeah, and so will everone else. As long as he isn't drunk during the ceremony, then it doesn't matter," I said, bluntly.

"Matt it is then...So, who is your maid of honour?"

"Di. You know she'll go ballistic when she finds out," I laughed.

Andy wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "You know, this is my favourite Christmas ever."

"Mine too," I agreed as I pulled his face to mine to capture his lips in a loving kiss.

NOTE: Sorry for taking so long to update. I know you all probably want an excuse, but I don't really have one. I've been a bit off lately and I've been really lazy. I love you duckies!
