Brian and Barbara went out to dinner with the family at a fancy restaurant, celebrating Barbara's freedom. Everyone smiled as they noticed Brian and Barbara were holding hands the whole time.

"Barbara, we got something for you", Lois said handing her a small box.

"A gift?" she asked. "Guys, you really didn't need to."

"Go ahead and open it", Meg said with a smile.

Brian nodded as he watched her. Barbara chuckled and opened the box. She gasped as she looked inside it. It was a collar with a name tag already on it.

Barbara Griffin

Spooner Street, Quahog

"A collar?" she asked. "For me?"

"That's right", Lois said. "Welcome to the family, Barbara."

Tears came to Barbara's eyes as everyone hugged her. She had never been this happy before. The band onstage played slow music as some couples started dancing.

"Come on", Brian said taking her hand. "Dance with me?"

Barbara smiled as she took his hand. Brian held her close as they swayed to the music and he started singing.

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Barbara rested her head on Brian's shoulder. She was so in love with him, she felt like she could burst from all the happiness she felt.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

"Oh, look at them, Peter", Lois said as she watched.

"Yeah, yeah", Peter said uninterested as he focused more on his meal.

Stewie watched Barbara and Brian for the first time feeling happy for them. He knew what Brian had planned for her and hoped he would get to it soon.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Brian dipped Barbara as he finished.

The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by…

Everyone in the restaurant applauded for Brian. He and Barbara returned to their table before speaking.

"Everyone I have an announcement to make", he said. "Barbara, I know we married just for court, but this time I mean it."

Everyone watched as Brian got down on one knee.

"Barbara, will you marry me?" he asked. "This time for real."

Barbara cried tears of joy as she wrapped her arms around him. She gently kissed him and answered his question.

"Yes. Yes, I will."

The family clapped as they watched Brian and Barbara hug.

"I love you", she said.

"I love you too."

Brian took the collar everyone gave her and put it around her neck. Barbara was now one of the family.

"Just one question", Peter said ruining the moment. "Where are they going to sleep?"

That's a wrap, folks! Brian and Barbara are getting married for real this time and Barbara now has a home and family. What does the future hold for them? Find out in my next story!
