Feedback: Yes please ;-) It makes my whole day.
"Jason, Lucky's not the father of this baby. You are." Elizabeth had practiced saying it so many times in her head but actually saying it felt so unreal. And the look, on his face, he looked so shocked and so profoundly hurt that her heart ached for him.
"You just let me believe Lucky was the father? Why didn't you tell me?" Jason said angrily, his face contorted in pain.
"I'm so sorry," she said, her eyes filling with tears. "I never wanted you to hate me." She hadn't meant to hurt Jason, that was the last thing she had wanted. "I could never hate you," he said, his voice growing softer.
Jason looked at her, his Elizabeth, she looked so frightened and small. His eyes traveled down to her stomach where her child rested.
Their child, he mentally corrected.
He knew it couldn't have been easy for her to keep this from him. He understood her reasons.
Looking at her he felt his love for her wash strongly over him, something he hadn't allowed since she'd walked out on him all those years ago. It felt so natural, so right, that she was carrying his child. And he knew all the people that would be hurt, all the lives that would be torn apart, but he couldn't think about that right now. He had to do what was right for him, and for his unborn child.
"Marry me?" Jason asked, staring into Elizabeth's eyes.
Elizabeth's mind flashed back to all their times together, all that they had once shared, all that they could share and her heart lept with happiness, only to come crashing down the next second.
"You'd choose this baby over Sam?" Elizabeth asked, tears running down her face.
Jason shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Didn't she know?
"I would choose you and our baby," he answered bringing his eyes up to meet hers. Elizabeth felt her heart leap at his words. "I want you and our baby, this miracle we made together, more than anything," he said softly.
"Marry me?" Jason asked again.
"Yes," Elizabeth answered, rushing into his arms.
The End
