Short Stories: Modern couples living the family life

to look at Tom as the song "Until the End of Time" began to play. He step onto the stage and started to sing. Alana simply stood and stared as in all the years they had been together she was unaware of the wonderful voice Tom had. She joined him in the duet and their voices blended beautifully. As the song ended Tom had one last surprise for Alana. He reached into the breast pocket of his jacket and brought out a ring box. Alana simply stared as he opened the box and knelt on one knee. All she could manage was to do was shake her head whisper the word "Yes".

Alana signed a contract that evening with Maxwell Fox to see over her performances in the future. She agreed to sing on weekends in the club where she had waited tables for the last ten years. Her grandmother beamed as her granddaughter decided to follow in her footsteps.

Alana had a surprise of her own for Tom. As they returned home after their night to remember, she told him she was ready to start a family. Once they were married she wanted to have their child. They knew there would be challenges ahead with both of them working and Alana's new adventure in music but together they could face their future with enthusiasm. Tom was shocked that so much had changed in such a short time and this truly would be a night to remember.
