Lucky held Liz's hand tightly as she lay in the bed. Tony looked over her chart and test results.
"It's truly amazing!" he said, shaking his head, "It appears as if you will have a full recovery Elizabeth. It's miraculous. A couple days and you'll be as good as new."
Liz smiled. She was still hooked up to an IV, but all the other machines were gone, "That's great."
TOny nodded, "YOu bet. Now, I'd estimate 3 more days with the lovely hospital accomadations and delicare cuissine, and tehn you can go home."
After TOny left, Liz tried the word on her lips, "Home," she whispered, "It seems like years since I was there."
Lucky cleared his throat, "That's a subject I would like to discuss with you Elizabeth."
"Huh?" Liz looked at him, confused, "What subject."
Lucky looked nervous, he ran his hand through his, "I want to discuss home with you."
Liz was flabbergasted when he didn't elaborate, "You want to discuss my apartment with me?"
Lucky shook his head, in fustration, "NO. I'm really not saying htis the right way. I want to discuss the subject of 'home' and what that is for the both of us."
Liz began to get an inkling of waht he was trying to say, "And....." she prodded him.
"Well," he began nervously, "I want us to be together. Whether it's in your apartment or a new place, I'd like us to be together. You see it doesn't matter where it is, my home is whre my heart is, and that is with you."
He rushed on nervously, "Now, just listen to me for a bit. I"m not suggesting we live together. Well, I am , but not like that. Well, what I am trying to say Elizabeth, is that I want to marry you, I want you to be my wife."
"I don't know exactly how you feel, but I hope to God you are feeling a little bit like me. All I know is that I love you, and want to share every moment with you, waking or otherwise. And I know, that if I do't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"I almost lost you permanently, and it made me realize how horrible that would be. I knew before that I couldn't live if you didn't, but this experience just made it clearer to me."
"I know it was a couple years ago since we pledged our love together in the little church, and I know that was a long time ago. If you want to just leave it as a thing of the apst on move on I'd understand."
He corrected himself, "Okay, I wouldn't understand exactly, I'd be utterly devastated, but I'll respect whatever your whishes are. Whether it is to get married, or to..."
"Lucky!" Elizabeth exclaimed, "Shut up!"
He looked stunned as she reached over and pulled his head down for a kiss. Shocked though he was, he responded rather quickly.
The kiss started out tender. Just two lips touching one another. Liz breifly thought of the line from Romeo and Juliet about palm to palm being holy palmers kiss. There lips were touching as two hands did, but oh, the emotions it evoked.
Slowly, hte kiss deepened. Liz wasn't really sure who started the change, but she thought it was her. She slowly and passionately kissed Lucky as she ran her ahdns through his hair.
Lucky was the first to pull away. He smiled tenderly down at her, and stroked her cheek.
"Was that a yes?" he asked softly.
Liz punched him in the arm, "As if you had any doubt as to waht my answer wold be. I love you Lucas Lroenzo Spencer Jr.,and I always will. DOn't ever doubt it."
Spoiling the tenderness of hte moment, she broke out into a part of a song by Shania Twain,
I'm mad about you (I'm mad about you)
Can't live without you (can't live without you)
I'm crazy 'bout you (I'm crazy 'bout you)
So don't be stupid -- you know I love you
Lucky laughed, "Stupid am I?"
Liz shook her head, giggling, "HOw could you be? You fell in love with me didn't you?"
"A little full of ourselves aren't we?" Lucky siad sarcastically.
Liz shook her head and smiled, "HOw could a woman as great as I be something so repelling as 'arrogant'?"
Lucky laughed, "Of course you couldn't."
He sobered up, "Liz, I'm sorry."
"What for?" she asked absently.
"I don't even have a ring." he said apologetically.
"Who needs one?" Liz asked indifferently. then she considered, "Well, I do, but it can wait until I can come help you pick it out."
Lucky smiled, "You're not mad?"
Liz scoffed, "Of course not Spencer, I should hope you know me better than that."
He smiled and kissed her lips softly, "Of course I do."
Liz looked up suddenly, "We should tell everyone."
Lucky shook his head, "NOt now?"
"And why not?" Liz glared at him.
Lucky laughed, "DOn't look at me like that. They all went home. They were all so exhausted. We've been at the hsopital for hours on end."
Liz pouted, "Well, as soon as they come, we share the good news."
Lucky raised his hands,"I agree completely."
"Now where were we before?" Liz said wickedly, pulling his head down for a kiss.
Lucky fiegned shock, "Ms Webber, I'm surprised at you. Seducing me right here in a hospital."
Liz shook her head solemly, "I'm not seducing you. I'm just getting you all hot and bothered before I send you away."
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
`Coz I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
`Coz as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart
I swear, i swear, oh... i... swear...
