Molly swallowed quickly and took a moment to comprehend what was happening. The camera was in her face, Kymmi and Skylar were crying and screaming and the rest of the audience seemed to be frozen in silence waiting for her answer. She looked at AJ, who was standing there with the most beautiful look of total devotion on his face and she wiped the tears that were forming in her eyes. AJ and the boys walked off the stage and he walked towards her, never taking his eyes off of her face. He reached for her hand and on one knee he looked up at her and waited for her answer.
Molly ran her fingers over his face and smiled "I will Alex, yes I will marry you, oh my god yes" AL scooped her up into his arms as the 5,000 people in attendance cheered and clapped and the television audience was treated to an up close view of AJ putting the ring on her finger and kissing it. "I love you Chipper"
Everyone settled down and turned their attention back to Rosie who was standing on stage in shock. "Well folks this is turning out to be quite the adventurous evening. We found out that one of the boys is going to be a dad, they all proclaim their love to their girlfriends and wife and now one has just proposed on national tv. I can see all the girls now flocking to NSYNC. Speaking of the newly popular band here is NSYNC. As the next award was presented the friends all leaned in and tried to congratulate the couple without causing a scene.
"Congratulations, that was so romantic" Jennifer Lopez leaned across the aisle and whispered to AJ.
Molly stared down at the ring that now decorated her finger and she smiled. She felt AJ staring at her and she met his gaze with a kiss. "Baby this is something I will never forget"
"This is only the beginning Chipper, the world is ours to discover and that we are going to do.....as one" AJ kissed her hand and winked at his mother who was crying.

"Well if winning two grammys wasn't enough, I got to witness the most romantic proposal I have ever seen" Kim Ann and Nick were heading over to the after grammy party and were talking about the proposal.
"It was wild, but AJ never does anything predictable,. I almost died when I realised what he was doing. Holy shit." Nick ran his hand up and down Kim Ann's thigh "So did you like my little speech?"
"You threw me for a loop, I mean we are not even dating and you singled me out on national tv."
"Well if we are not dating then we must be some close friends because I know I don't usually kiss Brian like this" Nick kissed Kim Ann who pulled away and grinned "You kiss Brian?"
Nick laughed and continued kissing her, letting his lips give her the answer.

"Did you guys know about what AJ had planned?" Jessi and Howie were cuddling in the back of the limo and talking about the show.
"I knew he had bought the ring, and I knew that he wanted to propose tonight but I was not expecting him to do it on stage..Did you see her face, oh my god she was in shock?"
"I have never heard such silence. Wow the media will be talking about this for years to come." Jessi looked at Howie and asked softly "Are you okay with this, I mean I know it has to be hard to see your best friend ask your ex girlfriend to marry him?"
"I love Molly and always will, and I love AJ like a brother and if they both make each other happy then that is all I need to know to make me happy" Howie played with one of the curls that had escaped her coif "You know what would make me really happy?"
"What?"
"This" Howie kissed her and smiled.

"I cannot believe that you announced that we are pregnant again, at least now everyone found out at the same time." Skylar and Kevin were the first to arrive at the party and were walking down the path towards the house where the party was.
"I was so overcome with emotion that I had to blurt it out." Kevin and Skylar were bombarded with well wishers as they walked into the already full house.
~~**~~
"I really wish we could skip this and go home to the peacefulness of our house" AJ and Molly were getting out of the limo when they heard Nick call them and they stopped to wait for him and Kim Ann to catch up.
"We will have plenty of time to spend with each other in the future, tonight is a night to celebrate and I want to celebrate with the man I love and all of our friends" Molly kissed AJ's cheek and turned to greet her friends.
"Thanks for waiting, so is the happy couple ready to celebrate? Nick and Kim Ann walked hand towards AJ and Molly.
"We have lots to celebrate, let's head in"

"Oh my god that is Eminem...Oh my god Dr Dre, I think I wet my pants" Kim Ann was sitting on Nick's lap drinking a beer and watching all the celebrities mingling.
Nick kissed her ear "You are not wearing any..and if you want to get wet we can arrange that when we get back to my place"
Kim Ann patted his crotch and smiled evily " You are on little man" she nipped his lips and smiled when his mouth engulfed hers.
"They seem to be getting quite comfortable" Sarah said to Crissy as the two danced and watched Nick and Kymmi.
"I guess he likes the loud and obnoxious girls" Crissy said
"Girl are you okay about that, I mean we all know how much you like Nick"
"I will be fine, besides Justin from 98* has been checking me out all night" Crissy and Sarah started to giggle.

"My book should be released next month" Jessi and some of the hootchies were talking, when Eminem took the mic and started free styling.
"Make sure you send me an autographed copy" Kel said as she and Brian made their way through the crowd to get a better view of the impromptu performance that was taking place.
Jessi felt two strong arms surround her waist and she leaned into the familiar and comforting chest. "I could never have dreamed that my life would change because I called myself a hootchie, I cannot believe that I am at a Grammy party with all these celebrities and that I am here with you" She placed her hands on Howie's arms and watched the hootchies dancing and laughed when Andie flashed Fred Durst.
"I think Andie is going to be experiencing a Limp Biscuit tonight" Howie laughed as he and Jessi moved to the music, never turning to face each other but content in the safe and private world that their linked bodies formed.

"AJ congratulations, that was an incredible moment" Steven Tyler hugged AJ and turned to look at Molly. "You are one lucky woman, this man is special and I know you both will be very happy. I better get an invitaiton in the mail" Steven hugged them both and went to talk to his daughter, who was on the arm of Tyler Hawkins, of the FOO Fighters.
"Alex I need some air" Molly took AJ's hand and the two disappeared outside.
"Are you okay baby? Do you want to leave?" AJ looked at Molly with concern.
"I am fine, it is just too crowded and smoky in there, besides I wanted to catch a quiet moment with my fiancee" Molly looked at her hands, that were cupped in AJ's and studied the ring. It was a fair size, about a carat and a half and it was a marquis cut with 2 baguettes on either side. " I think I am still in shock, Alex whatever made you decided to propose on stage?"
AJ wrapped his arms around her waist and as he looked down at her he rested
his chin on the top on the top of her head "I just knew it was the right
time"
