Author note: This is the first story I'm posting on here in like forever. My writing is a bit rusty so please bear with me here. I wrote a Saved By The Bell story before but since then deleted it. I've been watching re-runs that have inspired me to write this.

Enjoy!

I don't own Saved By The Bell.


As Jessie looked over her U.S. Government essay for errors she felt a nudge to her thigh. Jessie turned her head around to look at the source of the attack.

"Yes Slater?" Jessie asked and tried covering the smile forming on her mouth. She watched Slater fidget under her gaze and couldn't stop the flutters in her stomach.

"Hey Mama, have you ever?" He stopped himself and ducked his head, clearly embarrassed. Jessie shook her head and continued looking over her essay.

"Have I ever what, Slater?"

"Have you ever thought of our future?" Slater asked. Jessie's heart leaped out of her chest and she whipped her head around.

"I'm sorry what?" She sat up and tried processing every word Slater had just said. Slater shook his head and picked up his textbook. "Never mind it was a dumb question."

Jessie scoffed and stared at her boyfriend in disbelief. "No, it was not a dumb question Slater; you just caught me off guard."

"Yeah I'll be sure to put that in the ongoing list of things I do to you, Mama." Slater replied with a smirk and threw Jessie a wink.

"Don't cover up your insecurity with a repulsive remark, Bubba." Jessie warned him and pushed her note back away and scooted towards Slater. "You caught me off guard because I didn't know you thought about us having a future together."

Slater rolled his eyes and puffed his chest out. "I think about a lot more than just your legs Mama."

Jessie chuckled and took one of Slater's hands in her own, "I'm not saying you don't, but I'm certain you do think about your life and what you want to do with it after high school."

"What if I want my life to include you in it?" Slater asked and Jessie leaned her head back surprised. She cocked an eyebrow at her boyfriend but smiled widely.

"Well for that to happen I'd have to want to be in your life, but that's only if I want to." Slater stared at her and Jessie swore she saw a hopeful glint in his eyes.

"I want you to be in my life too. I want you to be there for everything and I want to be in your life too."

"You really mean that Mama?" He asked with a grin. Jessie nodded and sat herself in Slater's lap.

"Yes I do. I want this between us to last forever and ever."

"You got it, Mama." Slater replied and gripped Jessie's chin and pulled her into a kiss
