John woke up in the morning next to Cameron who was sleeping peacefully and he got up and got dressed.

John looked into the cot to see that Allison was awake and tilted her head at him causing him to smile.

John picked her up and she held her tiny hands onto his neck as John massaged her back to soothe her.

Cameron awoke and got dressed and came over to hug John as she kissed Allison on the forehead.

John said "get the stuff ready we're almost there now, i'm just going to the store ok", Cameron nodded.

As John went to the checkout he saw his mother and Derek and so he quickly paid for the goods and got out.

Sarah looked around according to Derek's friend they should be here and she said "they must of carried on ".

Derek said "yeah come on" both of them not noticing John sneaking into his jeep and driving off.

As John got home he told Cameron who was bathing Allison who seemed entranced by the bubble bath.

Cameron said "maybe they followed us or more likely someone is helping them".

John said "whatever they did we can't let them find us so now we drive all the way to Monterey ok".

Cameron put clothes on Allison as John loaded the bags and all three set off towards Monterey.

It was 1pm when they arrived and John went to an pawn shop and sold all the diamonds except one.

All three went to an area near Monterey Bay and rented a large beachhouse .

John found a cot and prepeared for Allison to sleep in that night and he went upstairs to look around.

Cameron was in a large room with a double bed with purple walls and John knew this was their room.

John said "just off to check the town i'll be back soon" as he left he pulled out the diamond he had kept.

John drove to a jewellers and chose a ring and watched as the Jeweller placed the diamond on it.

As John left he did'nt notice two pairs of eyes belonging to Jesse and Riley watching him.

Jesse thought that why would he visit a jewellers and they decided to follow him and make a plan.

As John arrived home he saw that Cameron was sitting outside with Allison talking to a man and a woman.

The man got up as he saw John and said "i'm Mike and this is Tracy we live next door and want to invite you to our BBQ".

John said "sure we will is it ok to bring Allison?".

Tracy replied "of course it is she's an angel just like her mother".

John replied "yeah your right about that see you tonight" .

As they left John said "Cam i have something to give you".

John got in the house and got down on one knee and Cameron said "are you hurt John?" .

John replied "no".

John said "Cam you mean the world to me so i'm asking will you marry me?".

Cameron smiled and said "yes i will".

Allison gave a smile as John put the ring on Cameron's finger and Cameron was in awe as the diamond sparkled.

John said "i guess it's off to the BBQ then?, Cameron nodded and picked up Allison and a pack of chips and chilli sauce.

At the BBQ John and Cameron were embraced by Tracy who on seeing the rings gave an announcement causing much cheering.

John and Cameron sat with Mike and Tracy and talked about their past and what it was that brang them out to Monterey.

John lied "well my mom adopted Cameron after her parents died and soon we became a couple but we had to leave ".

John continued "my mum freaked out when she found out about the pregnancy so we stayed to have Allison but it got too much".

Tracy replied "i'm sure she will come around and she would want to see you be happy especially with Allison here".

John and Cameron came home and placed Allison in her cot as they went to bed themselves.

Cameron said "so will you phone your mother".

John replied "i don't know maybe when i need to".

Cameron said "she still loves you and if we see her again she will just have to accept that we are a couple".

John said "that's why i love you because you always give me a reason to keep on going with my life and they went to sleep.
