What A Feeling

Becca looks around, trying to find Niall. She can clearly hear him singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Closing her eyes for a moment, smiling. She had no idea how much Niall singing that song would affect her. Turning to look at Kara, she finds her friend smiling.
Then she sees him, her perfect Disney prince. He’s coming out of the dugout, wearing an all white baseball uniform. Damn! Well that’s another fantasy I can check off.
He flashes her that amazing smile of his. Her heart skips a beat. Becca takes a quick look at the dugout, behind Niall. The players are all lined up outside it, watching.
As Niall reaches her, he kisses her on the cheek. “You look beautiful, B.”
“What’s going on, Niall?”
He grins, then finishes the song.
Becca’s eyes trail up to the large scoreboard. Niall and her are on it, for the whole stadium to see.
“B, I love you, and you’ve taught me to love baseball as well.” He pulls a ring box from his pocket. Opening it, to reveal a ticket to tomorrow nights baseball game.
Becca grins, recognizing the gesture from the movie, Fever Pitch.
She leans in to whisper to him. “You’ve been watching baseball movies without me.”
He smirks. “Will you go to tomorrow's game with me?”
She smiles. “Of course I will, Irish.”
Raising his hand, to cup the side of her face.
“One more question.”
Niall drops to one knee at home plate. “B, will you take me out to the ballgame, for the rest of our lives?”
He pulls the ticket aside, revealing the most beautiful, unique ring. It’s a fairly large round diamond, two trails of tiny rubies cross it, making it look like the red laces on a baseball.
Becca’s eyes immediately fill with tears. “Yes!”
Niall stands, gently wiping her tears. “Marry me?”
She puts her hand to her heart. “Yes, Niall. I want nothing more than to be your wife.”
He grins, removing the ring from it’s box, sliding it onto her finger.
“It’s beautiful, Niall.”
The crowd screams and cheers.
Niall puts his hands on her waist, drawing her close. “You’ve made me so happy, B. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Wrapping her arms around his neck, they kiss. A long passionate kiss captured on
the large screen, for all to see.
“I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect proposal, Niall.”
He smiles. “I was hoping you’d like it.”
Kara runs up screaming. “Congrats!” She gives Becca a big hug.
“You were in on this, weren’t you?” Becca asks.
“Maybe.” Kara teases.
“Thanks for being such an amazing friend.”
“I’m so happy for you, Becca.”
Steve gives Becca a hug. “Congratulations. The boss says you have the rest of the night off.”
“Thanks, Steve.”
He walks them to the pitcher’s mound. Standing back, and pointing them out.
Becca and Niall, holding hands, wave to the crowd. The stadium speakers begin to play Celebration by Kool and the Gang. They wave to everyone as they make their way off the field.
“Hey, Irish?”
“Yeah.”
“You get to keep that uniform?”
“Yep.”
She smirks. “Good, I’ve got an idea.” She trails her hand from his back, down to his ass.
Niall cackles loudly.
