"Jane?" Peter called out.

"Yes Peter? What is it?" Jane replied rushing to his side.

"Where are we? What happened?"

"Well Peter, you were fighting with Hook, and somehow he ended up stabbing you. I pulled you out as fast as I could and brought you here to this cave. Tinkerbell did some magic to keep you alive, but even still I'm amazed that you survived. I honestly thought you'd leave me Peter," Jane said as a tear rolled down her cheek. Peter reached up and gently wiped the tear from Jane's face.

"Why Jane," he said. "If I didn't know better I'd think you actually cared for me."

"Well of course I do Peter, after all you are my make believe husband, and well I er..."

"You what?" Peter asked looking at her curiously.

"Nothing, nothing at all. The anxiety has just overworked me a bit," Jane said trying to brush her words off.

"No, I think you were actually going to say something Jane," Peter said. "Now come on tell me. You shouldn't keep things from your husband." Jane laughed.

"Well actually I was just going to tell you that I do care very deeply about you Peter." Peter stared at Jane for what seemed an eternity, and then he slowly got up (Tinkerbell had healed him remember) and stood facing Jane. Their bodies were mere centimeters apart and Peter stared down at her. He cupped her chin with his hand and smiled.

"And I you," Peter whispered before he closed the distance between their faces and brought his lips to hers in a gentle kiss. When he pulled away Peter found tears rolling down Jane's cheeks. "Why Jane," he said. "Whatever is the matter?"

"You...you kissed me!" Jane said.

"Yes...yes I did."

"Why?" Jane asked.

"Why what?" Peter asked.

"Why did you kiss me? Why would you go and do something like that Peter?" Peter shrugged.

"Because I think I'm in love with you." He mumbled.

"What?" Jane asked.

"I said I think I'm in love with you," Peter said a little louder.

"What? How could you be? You loved my mother, how could you love me?" Jane asked.

"I never admitted to loving Wendy," he said.

"No but I'm sure you did Peter."

"Well maybe I did care for her a bit Jane, but...I didn't have room in my life for love then."

"Oh and you do now?" Jane asked looking at him skeptically.

"Yes, I believe I do Jane. I don't know how it's possible, maybe it's all those times I left Neverland to hear Wendy tell those stories, or maybe it was simply the time I spent with Wendy...in any case I've changed slightly. I've grown. I out grew my clothes and had to buy new ones, my voice got all squeaky for awhile...I'm older Jane, and now I believe in love."

"It's not fair," Jane said quietly looking down at her feet.

"What's not fair Jane?" Peter asked as he put his arms around her gently.

"That you have to tell me this now. You had to convince me that you were capable of love now, and convince me that I loved you back." A big smile lit up Peter's face.

"And why is now so much different than any other time?" Peter asked.

"Because I must leave Peter," Jane said looking up into his eyes.

"You have to leave? Why?" he asked pulling away from her.

"I've been away too long Peter. I know my parents must be missing me greatly. We were planning on moving soon and if I don't hurry back my parents will not be able to leave. My father's gotten a job over in America and we're supposed to be moving there."

"So, let them move and you stay here with me," Peter said simply.

"I can't Peter. I miss them, my parents that is. I love being here with you and the lost boys Peter, but I can't stay any longer. I must go back." Jane said simply. Peter nodded.

"Come with me," he said and grabbed her arm. Together they left the caves and flew back to the lost boy's dwelling. "All right boys assemble yourselves!" Peter commanded. The lost boys quickly stopped what they were doing and formed a line in front of Peter.

"Now, our wonderful mother here seems to be having a touch of homesickness. She wishes to go back to her home with her mother and father," he said. The lost boys gasped and quickly fell to pleading with Jane.

"No mother please!"

"Don't leave us mother!"

"Stay with us mother!"

"Who else will give us our medicine so we can beat up the big ol' pirates?"

"Now boys boys," Jane said. "I've really spent much more time here then I should have. As much as I hate to go I must." The lost boys all groaned sadly.

"I'm afraid she plans on leaving immediately so say your goodbyes now," Peter said. The lost boys then all crowded around Jane to hug her and bid her goodbye. Bye the end of the farewell there wasn't a dry eye left in the group. Finally Jane was through. "Why don't you go gather your things Jane and meet me outside. I've got something to talk with the lost boys about," Peter said. Jane nodded and waved to the boys as she left the room.

When she finished packing Jane went and sat outside under her favorite tree and waited for Peter to emerge from the dwelling place. Finally Peter came out accompanied by Tinkerbell who looked as if someone had just stepped on her house. Peter gave Tinkerbell a little kiss and then he said goodbye and placed her gently on a leaf.

"Isn't she coming with us?" Jane asked.

"No, she needs to stay here with the lost boys," Peter replied. "They need her more than I do." Jane nodded.

"Ready then?" she asked. Peter took her hand and smiled.

"As ever," he said. Then the two lifted off into the air and started flying away from Neverland back to London.

"Peter," Jane said as they were traveling along.

"Yes Jane? What is it?" Peter asked.

"What is it that you had to talk to the lost boys about?" she asked.

"Well I had to say goodbye to them and then make sure they all realized that Jasper is now in charge."

"Oh, why was Tinkerbell so upset when we left?" Jane asked.

"Because she's going to miss me," Peter replied.

"Well she'll be seeing you soon won't she?"

"No Jane, she won't," Peter replied.

"What, why not?"

"Because I'm not going back Jane," Peter said simply.

"You're not going back? What do you mean? You have to go back or you'll grow up!" Jane said looking at him in shock.

"Everyone has to eventually Jane. I was just fortunate enough to put it off longer than most everyone else can. Besides Jane I love you and I'd rather grow old with you and share in life's joys and pains, than be a boy forever without you by my side." Jane stopped flying momentarily.

"Are you sure about this Peter?" she asked.

"As sure as I'll ever be," Peter said. Jane smiled brightly at him.

"I love you Peter," she said. Then she quickly kissed him and flew off. Peter smiled dumbly and hurried to catch up with her. Yes growing up wasn't going to be that bad after all.

Epilogue:

Jane sat humming to herself next to the small cradle in the nursery. She glanced adoringly at the small child that was sleeping peacefully.

"What a beautiful baby you are!" she whispered to it. Just then the door to the nursery opened up and Peter walked in.

"How's he doing?" Peter asked.

"Oh he's been sleeping like an angel for the past twenty minutes," Jane said slowly standing up to embrace her husband. The door opened again and in walked a couple about the same age as Jane and Peter.

"Hi Jane, hi Peter. Thanks for watching Joshua for us," the woman said.

"It was no problem Clarice. He was wonderful, I only hope that our child will be as well behaved as Joshua is," Jane said putting her hand on her bulging stomach. Jane had been "enciente" (pregnant) (at this time period the word pregnant was a very dirty word) for nearly nine months.

"Come Jane, let's get you home and to bed. You need your rest too," Peter said noting the time on the clock. The two bid their friends farewell and left. They decided to walk home since they lived only a few blocks away. The couple passed by a phone booth and Peter stopped. "Darling do you mind if we stop for just a bit? I've got to make a call," Peter said.

"By all means Peter go ahead," Jane said. Peter had just entered the phone booth when out of the corner of his eye he saw a couple of shady men standing across the street eyeing Jane. Peter tried to brush it off as nothing, but he had a nagging feeling in his head and warning sirens seemed to be going off in his mind. Something wasn't right. He glanced back at the men and noticed that they had stopped observing Jane and were now approaching her.

Abandoning all rational thought Peter slammed the door of the phone booth open and rushed over to his wife.

"On second thought Jane I think the call can wait until we get back home. Let's go dear," and with that Peter grabbed Jane's hand and they walked the last block to their little house. Shortly after they entered their house Jane grabbed her stomach and looked at the floor.

"What is it Jane?" Peter asked.

"My water just broke," she replied. "I think the baby's coming Peter!"

Three grueling hours later Jane was holding a brand new baby boy in her arms and Peter was nursing the nail marks he had in his.

"What do you think we should call him Peter?" Jane asked.

"Well, how about Jasper?" Peter asked. Jane smiled and looked down at her son.

"What do you think of that love? Does Jasper sound okay to you?" The baby yawned and shut its eyes sleepily. "I'll take that as a yes. Jasper it is!"

THE END!!!

A/N: (sniff) I can't believe that it's done. I hope you've all enjoyed reading this fic as much as I've enjoyed writing it. Sure it's a little strange, but so am I! Now that this story is done I'm going to try to devote more time to my other one "Love's End" that one is an LOTR one and I urge you all to go read that one. I'm going to be starting a Harry Potter fic soon...the title is still undecided but it's going to be a romance/humorous story about what happens when Hermione and Draco switch places and Hermione is the pure blood while Draco is the muggle born. It should prove to be very interesting.

Erkis: No no no, thank YOU! You helped put a smile on my face with that very kind review. Yeah I thought it was about time we saw Peter grow up. I hope this chapter is up to expectations. Thanks for reviewing!!!

All right, that's it folks. Read my other stories please!
