Life has moments hard to describe, feeling great and feeling alive

Ruby gratefully let Ally scoop her smelly child away. Ruby thought they were cute and sweet and adorable. Until they did something gross, at which time they became Ally's and so not hers. Don't get her wrong she'd changed a diaper of two, and a whole bunch pre-demon days, but still. No thank you.

Not long after the baby was handed off like a baton

He actually tugged her out onto the small balcony. He wanted this to be private. At least to start with. Don't get him wrong, he wouldn't complain if she like the gift enough to wave it in everyones face, but the giving he wanted to be private.

He stood behind her with his arms wrapped around her, and something closed in his right hand. "I was gonna plansome thing nice, but. . .well everything went haywire, and some how this seems like a good, fitting time." It was true. He had been thinking maybe a picnic on the Space Needle or a classy restaraunt. But things had started to go to hell in a hand basket and the rings had been livng in his pocket ever since. Just being changed from on to the next. They had even gone to the funeral with him.

He turned his hand palm up so she could take the small black box sitting there. He'd broken traditon and told the jewler that they could keep their engagment diamands. He wanted rubies.

Ooh, a small black box. Velvet. Oooh, maybe he'd gotten her earrings. She shook it a little and then gently, because they were on a balcony and she didn't want her present to plummet to it's death, she opened it top

He smiles so brightly it hurts. "You like them? They wanted me to get diamands but. . ." Okay he's nervous. Give the man a break. "Every woman gets diamands. And you're Ruby and therefor special. I'm babbling." The box had all three rings in it. The engagment ring and the two matching wedding bands. He had spent some time with the engraver to. The scroll work wasn't simply decoration, it was protection charms. Ally had helped him put the partern for it together. So it looks nice instead of just a jumble of runes and such.

"I like rubies better," she said with a nod, slipping them out of the box and into the palm of her hand. Closing her fist around them, she put the box on the railing and turned around in Alec's arms so she was facing him.

"They feel good." She smiled up at him and then cocked her head to the side. "Is it just me or do you feel like you're proposing again? I know we're already married, but it feels different. New."
