'Hey, Dean and I need you to come over. It's important. Be here by Saturday night, please and thank you. :)'
Texts along those lines had been sent out to their inner circle after Dean proposed to Casey, and now the couple was relaxing on the couch, just enjoying their June afternoon together.
"I love you, Casey."
"I love you, too, Dean. This is a really pretty ring."
"Seth picked it out, actually. But I'm glad you like it, kitten.
Casey and Dean sat in their bedroom, Nikki and John were already downstairs and letting everybody into their apartment while they got ready. Nobody knew why Dean and Casey had assembled their closest friends and family into their apartment on such short notice, but nobody had an issue with it. Casey's parents, her sisters and their beaus, Seth, Roman, Wade, Brad, Ted and a couple of Dean's close Indy circuit friends had come to gather for a "party", as their very vague text messages claimed.
"I can already see their faces." Casey laughed and Dean chuckled as he buttoned his sleeves and she fixed her hair. "So you're going down first?"
"Of course."
Meanwhile, everyone in the room was chatting amongst themselves, mingling and such.
"Do you think he did it?" Brie asked and Nikki nodded.
"Or she's pregnant. Both if we're lucky." Nikki muttered and John nodded from where he sat beside her as Dean snuck his way to the middle of the staircase and looked down at their friends and family mingling and totally unsuspecting of what they were about to tell us.
"Hey, Mox! Tell us what we're all here for!" Sami Callihan called from where he sat talking to Wade, and Dean chuckled.
"Alright, alright. I know you're all curious as to why Casey and I wanted you all here on such short notice with such little information other than our address and what time to be here, so I won't drag this on. Please allow me to introduce you to the future Mrs. Ambrose of Moxley or Good, whatever name you want to use." He announced as Casey walked down the steps and they shared a kiss.
"That's right, fuckers. I said yes." Casey informed before the room erupted into cheers and Nikki shouted "stay right there" before taking a picture of the couple. In that moment, all that mattered to Dean was Casey, and all that mattered to Casey was Dean.
A short little epilogue to this, as my Christmas present to you all who have enjoyed this as much as I have. Be on the lookout for a sequel some time in the next couple weeks that will follow their engagement, I've just got to plan that one out a bit more, and come up with a decent title. So...yeah. The story that is Dean and Casey is far from over, even if The Third Bella is. Thanks so much, you guys, and have a happy whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year! :)
