Underworld: Retaliation

Selene and Eve played on the swings for ten minutes. Angela sat on a bench feeding the birds.

Eve: [Jumps off the swing and runs to sit beside her Grandmother] Grandma, what you doing?

Angela: [Looks at her] I'm feeding the birds. Want to try?

Eve: [Nods smiling and holds her hand out]

Angela: [Hands her some birdseed and holds her hand out] Open your palm and hold it steady.

Eve: [Holds her palm open and steady watching as a bird lands on her fingers and eats from her hand] [Laughs] It tickles!

Angela: [Giggles] See? They won't hurt you.

Eve: Can I do it again?

Angela: Sure. [Hands her more birdseed] This time, toss it to them on the ground.

Eve: [Does as told and watches as they eat] This is so cool!

Selene: [Sits beside Eve] Feeding the birds?

Eve: [Looks at her] Yeah. Grandma showed me how. It's fun.

Selene: [Smiles] Well I'm glad you're having fun.

Eve: [Feeds the birds one last time and runs to the sea-saw] Mama, come do the sea-saw with me.

Selene: [Walks over and sits on the opposite end] Hold on. [Plays with her daughter]

Eve: Weeeee! [Giggles] I love the park!

Selene: [Giggles] You're silly. But I'm glad you're having fun.

Michael: [Walks up five minutes later] Hey.

Selene/Eve: [Stop and get off]

Eve: Daddy! [Smiles and hugs him]

Michael: [Chuckles] Having fun I see.

Eve: Lots! I love the park! [Sees David and runs over to hug him]

Michael: [Shakes his head smiling then looks at Selene] She's gonna be a handful.

Selene: [Giggles] At least we'll get to let her have a normal childhood. Well, as normal as possible and for what's left of it anyway.

Michael: Agreed. [Wraps his arms around her waist] What do you think of my Mom?

Selene: [Wraps her arms around his neck] I think I like her. She taught Eve how to feed the birds about ten minutes ago. She seemed to like it. I think your mom may actually like us. That I was wrong about her.

Michael: [Smiles] I'm glad to hear that.

Eve: [Runs back over dragging David with her] Do it, Daddy!

Michael: [Looks at her confused] Do what?

Eve: [Wiggles her fingers at him as a sign]

Michael: Oh! [Looks at David] Did you tell her?

David: She asked. I wasn't gonna lie to her.

Michael: [Looks back at Eve who's smiling and sighs] Oh, alright. [Steps back from Selene and gets down on one knee pulling a small box out] Selene Alexandra, will you marry me? [Opens the box to reveal a silver band with a medium clear diamond in the middle]

Selene: [Tears up smiling and nods] Yes, Michael. I will.

Michael: [Stands up with putting the ring on her finger and smiles] I love you.

Selene: [Wipes her tears and kisses him softly] I love you too.

Eve: Yay! [Hugs both her parents from the side]

Selene/Michael: [Pull away and laugh hugging her back]

Angela: I think it's time for lunch.

Michael: [Looks at her] Good idea, Mom. [Wraps one arm around Selene's waist and walks to the car]

Eve: [Grabs David's hand and drags him to Angela's car] Where we going?

Angela: How does Mexican food sound?

Eve: Ok!

Selene: [Gets in the passenger seat]

Michael: [Gets in the driver's seat and looks over at Selene]

Selene: [Looks at him and smiles] My life couldn't get better than this.

Michael: [Turns on the ignition and follows his mother while putting his free hand on top of Selene's] Just think, we'll be officially a family once we're married.

Selene: [Turns her hand over and intertwines their fingers] I can't wait. What if we do the wedding in two weeks?

Michael: So soon?

Selene: Yes. I want to be officially yours as soon as possible.

Michael: Alright. In two weeks then. We'll start sending invites tomorrow.

Selene: [Smiles and bends over to peck him on the cheek] Sounds good.
