"Daddy are you home?"

"In here baby."

"Hi daddy."

"Hi sweetheart, Shawn well it's been a while, how are you son?"

"I'm good, how are you sir?"

"I'm doing very well thank you. I'm glad you and Angela got to spend New Years together."

Shawn smiled, nodded and sat down on the couch with Angela.

"Well daddy that's what I wanted to talk to you about"

"Oh?"

"Well actually it's good news"

"Continue"

"Daddy, Shawn asked me to marry him"

Cornel Davis smiled; he could see the happiness beaming in his daughter's eyes.

"And what did you say?"

"I said yes" Angela held up her hand for her father to see.

"Well congratulations baby." At the immediate sound of her name Baby perked her head up from the floor but immediately placed it back down when she saw no attention was being put her way.

"Well Shawn I shall keep my promise, I'm stepping aside and am going to let you be the most important man in her life." Cornel Davis stood up to shake the hand of his future son in law, but at the last second changed his mind and pulled him into a friendly embrace. Shawn at first felt weird but eased into the hug, Cornel Davies a big man, a strong man, but it surprised Shawn a great deal at how gentle he could be.

"Wait daddy you knew?" Angela was on her feet in shock.

"Of course baby, Shawn asked me before we left for Europe. Now you didn't think Shawn was the type of man to ask a girl for her hand in marriage with out her father's consent did you?"

Angela smiled, "You really asked my father?"

"Well yeah, I mean you are his daughter, and he loves you very much. I thought it would only be right."

Angela said nothing she just kissed him.

"So Shawn it is getting late maybe you should be getting back to your apartment."

"Oh no sir I'm staying with the Matthews', we don't go home until Saturday."

"We?" Cornel Davis was puzzled.

"Yes sir, I have a house in the village, with Cory, Topanga, and Eric."

"The village? As in Greenwich Village, in New York City?"

"Yes daddy, I was going to go with Shawn to New York."

"Oh well of course; you would want to be with your fiancé. You're a big girl now, like I said I will step aside, Shawn you will take good care of her right?"

"Yes sir and don't worry it's a sizable house. There are five bedrooms.

"Well then let's get you packed, Angela"

"Really daddy, you'll let me go?"

"Yes"

Angela hugged her father, and they went to her room to pack.
