Hi hearties! This is my first fanfiction story. I've always enjoyed writing but I've never shared my creative writing stories with anyone before. This whole thing is very new to me. I just finished season 3 of When Calls the Heart and I am having some serious withdraws knowing that the cast hasn't even begun filming season 4. This story is based off of the cliffhanger from season 3 after Elizabeth catches Rosemary's bouquet. I hope you give my story a chance. I love all of my fellow hearties!

Chapter 1

Elizabeth stood there in the church for a minute after catching Rosemary's bouquet. Rosemary turned around and winked at Elizabeth. Jack, who was standing next to Elizabeth, made eye contact with her. They just smiled at each other before Elizabeth was swept away by all the townswomen, who were jumping up and down in excitement.

Jack watched Elizabeth as she talked to the other women with joy. Lee walked up to Jack and chuckled, "So does this mean I'll be your best man?"

Jack replied, "I guess it does Lee. Will you be my best man?"

"Of course," said Lee. "Elizabeth must be expecting a proposal very soon."

"Oh yes, she's been dropping hints here and there. I already have the ring. Jack patted the pocket in his suit, "It's been in here for a while now."

"Well what are you waiting for then?"

"I think tonight's the night," said Jack. "I've been waiting for the perfect moment."

"Good deal man," Lee said slapping Jack on the arm. "Don't waste any more time." He turned and walked over to his new wife.

Jack and Elizabeth's eyes met from across the room before she walked over to him. She was holding the bouquet and Jack asked, "Won't you take a walk with me Ms. Thatcher?"

She was surprised, "Now? Jack, the wedding party hasn't even started."

"Eh," Jack shrugged. "They can go without us for a while."

"Very well then constable," said Elizabeth and intertwined her arm in Jacks. Elizabeth saw Abigail on the way out of the church. She handed her the bouquet, "Abigail will you save this for me?"

"Of course," Abigail said. "You two come back soon, I made my famous roast."

"We can't wait," said Jack and they made their way down the steps of the church. They walked across town talking about how happy they were for Rosemary and Lee. They were glad that Rosemary was over Jack and they laughed at the past. When she came to town, she made Elizabeth's life miserable. She never thought she would ever be friends with Rosemary but things started to change when Rosemary met Lee.

Jack and Elizabeth walked up a hill into a large area surrounded by trees. Jack put his arms around Elizabeth and they looked at the beautiful view. They could see everything from up there and they were thankful that they were able to share that moment with each other. Jack asked, "Do you like it here?"

"It's breathtaking Jack and it's even better since I'm here with you." She hugged him and rested her head on his chest.

"That's good because I bought it," said Jack.

Elizabeth turned to look at Jack, "What do you mean you bought it?"

"You know exactly what I mean," said Jack. He turned and pointed to a wide open space, "I'm gonna build a house here, but for myself of course."

"Very funny," Elizabeth said. She joked, "I'm sure you're going to live alone too and I'll come and visit you? Or you can take back everything you just said and save room for me."

"Oh don't be silly," he said. "I'm being serious about this, I'm going to build a house here. I was thinking it would be two stories with a beautiful fireplace. Four bedrooms and maybe we can squeeze a library in there too."

"It's sounds absolutely perfect," Elizabeth said.

"It is perfect," he said. "I love it here and there's plenty of space for children to run around."

Elizabeth looked at Jack, "And you assume that you're going to have children?"

Jack looked at Elizabeth, "You know it." He put his hand on his heart, "I'm going to be the best father anyone has ever seen."

She smiled and walked over to him, holding his hands. "I have to admit," she said. "You would be an amazing father." She put her hand around his neck and they kissed.

He looked into her eyes, "And I know that you would be an amazing mother." Elizabeth could feel her heart fluttering inside.

Jack walked over to look at the view again, "Well Rosemary sure does know how to pick out beautiful flowers. That was some bouquet you caught, wasn't it?"

She walked and stood beside him, holding his hand. "Yes," she smiled. "Yes it was."

He looked at her, "Elizabeth..."

She cut him off, "I love you Jack."

He turned to face her, "And I'm so in love with you." He brushed the hair out of her face, "You know things have been hard for us at times." She nodded and he said, "But we always work them out." He got down on one knee and held both of her hands.

Elizabeth gasped, "Oh, Jack."

"Marry me Elizabeth Thatcher because I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to laugh with you. I want to sit on our front porch watching the sunset. I want to have babies with you and I want to grow old with you. You're the only one Elizabeth."

Jack stood up, "Of course I'll marry you Jack!" She jumped into his arms and they kissed passionately. He wiped her tears away and ran his hands through her gorgeous curls.

"Good," he said. "Because I have this for you." He pulled out a beautiful diamond ring. "You should know that I've had this for a while but I want you to have it now."

He slipped it on her ring finger. She held her hand out and they both admired what it looked like on her. "It's gorgeous Jack!" She turned to him and they kissed again before walking back to the wedding party. The whole way back, they talked about plans for their wedding and agreed that they would wait until the house was built. Jack assured her that he had made the plans up for the house already and it would take at least three to four months to build. Elizabeth wasn't sure if she could wait that long, she couldn't wait to officially be his forever.

Jack and Elizabeth didn't want to take the night away from Lee and Rosemary, so they were planning on waiting before telling everyone. When they got to Abigail's for the party, people started to congratulate them as they walked through the door. Jack figured that Lee must have told everyone. Elizabeth showed the ladies her ring and the men surrounded Jack, patting him on the back to express their happiness.

Thanks for reading! I will have the next chapter up soon!
