"Are we going to tell them tonight or not?" She whispered in Jason's ear.

"Let's wait till desert." Jason replied smiling at her. He glanced around the room as another argument broke out smiling softly. The weekly Quartermain dinner was in full swing. Lila insisted they all attend and god knows none of them could refuse her. It was a strange mixture of blood relatives and people who'd become family over the years. He glanced from his mother arguing with Emily over her curfew to AJ who was arguing with Ned over the latest ELQ project with Edward throwing his two cents in. Lois and Carly smiling at the ridiculousness of it all as they discussed the latest fashion trends with Brenda and Skye. Who's husbands were arguing over who had made the better acquisition that week and trading tips. His father sat listening with Steven as Steve Sr told them of some of the more difficult patients he'd had over the years and discussing the benefits of new technologies. Lila and Audrey sat quietly discussing their gardens and grandchildren as Courtney stood to stop yet another fight ant the children's table with some help from Dillion. It was never dull at a family dinner. Once dinner was cleared and the Children were quietly enjoying the ice cream that had been brought out from the Jason knew there wouldn't be a better time. He stood Pulling her to her feet with him. Clearing his troat to grab the adults attention.

"I have an announcement to make." He said smiling she elbowed him slightly. "I should say we have an announcement to make."

"Well then make it!" Edward demanded impatiently.

"Were getting married." He said holding up her left hand to show the large diamond that now rested on her ring finger.

"Oh how wonderful" "Congratulations" people began shouting as they all stood hugging and shoving to get a better glimpse of the ring. Jason smiled as he excepted their congratulations but, he was thinking of a day long ago.

"Do you, Jason Quartermain take Elizabeth Webber to be your wife?" a ten year old AJ asked as they sat in Lila's garden holding their make believe wedding.

"I do." Jason replied solemnly.

"Then, I don't remember what happens next." Aj said turning to Skye for help.

"He has to kiss her now." Skye replied giggling.

"Gross." Jason and Liz said cringing.

"You have to it's the law." Zander declared.

Fine." Jason relented leaning in and placing a gentle peck on her lips. "I probably have cooties now." he said disgustedly wiping his lips.

"I don't have cooties.' Liz declared indignantly.

"Of course you do, you're a girl." Steven replied. "It's a medical fact that all girls have cooties. That's why I got my cootie shot at school yesterday."

"Girls don't have cooties boys do." Skye declared.

"No girls do." AJ demanded.

"Do not." Liz declared.

"Do too." Zander replied.

"Fine, then were not playing with you anymore." Skye said pulling Elizabeth along as she stormed toward the house.

"She has to play with us, she's Jason's wife." Zander said grabbing Liz's other Arm and pulling her back towards the guys.

"Well then, were going to tell Grandma Lila on you and she'll give Liz a divorce." Skye declared triumphantly.

"She can't divorce Jason." AJ declared. "Jason will divorce her first."

"No he wont." Skye replied furiously.

"Yes he will." Steven replied haughtily.

While they continued to argue Liz made her way over to Jason.

"Wana go watch Tv?" She asked.

"Ok." Jason replied following her into the house.

"Jason." AJ said pulling him out of his memoire.

"What, sorry." Jason said.

"I just wanted to say congrats, I hope you two are as happy as Carly and I are." AJ said pulling him into a hug. As AJ stepped aside to let others get threw Jason came face to face with Steven. "Congratulations." Steven said shaking his hand stiffly. Jason knew he wasn't thrilled, and he understood why.

"I've been carrying this around in my pocket for weeks," Jason began nervously. "I wasn't sure how to ask." he said handing her the small velvet box.

"Are you proposing." Liz asked surprised as she stared at the twinkling diamond. "It's beautiful."

"Lila gave it to me after I graduated," Jason explained. "It was her mothers. She said it was good luck, that if I gave it to the woman I loved she'd be mine forever." Jason finished laughing softly.

"I don't know what you want me to say." Liz said tearfully.

"You don't have to say anything, I understand that this probably isn't the best time but, I just wanted you to know how important you were to me. That you mattered." Jason replied. "I want you to be my wife, the mother of my children, my other half. But, I know you need time. So take it, but take this with you and remember I'll be here when you decide what you want."

"I hope you know what your doing." Steven added quietly as he motioned Courtney to help him gather the kids.

"Oh, do you have to go so soon." Lila asked as they began their goodbyes.

"I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow." Steven replied.

"We'll see you guys next week." Courtney added as pulled her son's hand through the sleeve of his jacket.

"Things have a way of working out dear." Lila whispered as he leaned down to kiss her goodbye.

"I don't think so, not this time." He replied quietly.

The car ride home was unusually quiet. Even the children seemed to understand something was going on. They put the children to bed and sat in the kitchen as Audrey made them coffee.

"So, who's going to call and tell her?" Courtney asked finally breaking the silence. She watched as they all glanced at each other a silent battle of wills, none of them wanting to be the bearer of this 'happy' news.

"I guess I'll do it." Steven finally relented walking over to the phone and dialing.

"Hey Zander, is Liz home?" Steven asked into the phone.
