‘I want to propose a toast.’ Helen stood up and placed the glass on her very pregnant stomach. Everyone started laughing. ‘Things have changed over the years. Good things and bad things have happened.’ Helen stared at the friends sitting at the table. ‘Nic and Bryan, let me start with you. You got married the proper way. And thank god you made an honest woman out of her, Bryan.’ Bryan winked at Helen as he lifted his two-year-old son in his arms. Helen raised her glass and sat down. Yvonne rose to her feet. 'I want to propose a toast to Helen.’ Mark cleared his throat. ‘And off course Mark. Although we still haven’t forgiven you for marrying her on that Island.’ Again the room was filled with laughter. ‘You two waited a while but you made up for lost time. Who would have thought that Mark was able to produce twins? Cheers guys.’ Mark’s jaw fell to the ground. ‘Twins?’ He stuttered. Helen gave him a quick kiss on the nose. ‘Surprise daddy-to-be.’ Jaclyn stood up as Yvonne sat down. ‘It’s my turn to toast to Yvonne and Ronan. Love like yours is one of a kind. But can you please stop having kids? You are driving us mad.’ Ronan shrugged. ‘I always wanted a big family.’ He said with a smile. ‘Six is big enough for us.’ Jaclyn raised her glass and sat down. Georgina remained seated. ‘I want to propose to the newly weds.’ Everyone raised his or her glasses. ‘Kian, you keep surprising us. Never stop doing that. I hope you and your wife have a long and happy life.’ Kian looked at his wife. ‘To Kian and Rachel.’ Kian softly kissed Rachel. He grabbed his glass. ‘I know only the girls can do the toasts but I would like to propose one. This band had its ups and downs. We can all remember the time when Jaclyn and I were together. Who will ever forget Shane kidnapping her from the hospital? I still thank him every day. I wouldn’t have met Rachel if he hadn’t done that.’ Kian looked at Shane. ‘Our friendship has been through a lot but as your friend I’ll tell you this. Marry the damn woman, you fool.’ Shane started laughing. Jaclyn raised her glass and took a sip. Suddenly her eyes grew big. ‘Oh my god.’ She placed her glass down again. She turned to Shane only to see he wasn’t sitting beside her anymore. ‘Shane?’ ‘Right here.’ She turned around and saw him down on one knee. ‘Jaclyn.’ He took her hand. ‘Will you do the honour to marry this fool?’ Jaclyn nodded. She had already seen the diamond ring in her glass. ‘I’ll marry you, you fool.’ Shane rose to his feet and kissed. ‘I’ll promise I’ll never be a fool again.’ And he sealed the promise with a kiss.
