Ok guys here is the next chapter and I hope you guys enjoy it. I know I left you hanging there at the end of the last one so I hope it makes up for it. So read and enjoy and don't forget to review and let me know your thoughts on it. And as usual I don't own the characters or the song.

And I said "I've gotta be honest

I've been waiting for you all my life."

For so long I was asylum bond,

But just seeing you makes me think twice.

And being with you her makes me sane,

I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

You've got wits…..you've got looks,

You've got passion but are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?

"As Lovers Go"- Dashboard Confessional

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Emma could not stop staring at the ring he held in his hand, she couldn't get much more out but his name and after that her mind went blank. She finally shook away some of the shock and stared him in the eyes trying desperately to find any kind of doubt or regret but they held none and she smiled him the first real smile she's shown him in so long. She moved forward so she was pressed against him and looking up at him. "If I say yes then can we go and do it right now, I've loved you for so long Jason and I don't need nor want an engagement or a big wedding I just want me and you, so please can we go now and just get married. We can celebrate with our friends and family later just please just you and me." she never took her eyes from his as she spoke, she wanted to say yes but she wanted to go through with it now she didn't need to wait any longer.

After her small speech Jay smirked at her and removed the ring from the box and held it out to her. "Depends are you saying yes?" he was twirling the ring between his fingers watching her smile, he knew she was saying yes she just as usual wanted to do it on her terms and he had no problem giving into her as long as he had her. "Well I guess we'll have to call Sean over." She said and reached her hand out for him to place the ring on her finger. "I'll take that as yes." He said and placed the ring on her finger and pulled her into a kiss. "I'm going to call him you go get ready." Jay said as they pulled away. Emma nodded and went down the hall to their room as Jay picked up the phone by the couch and dialed.

Emma went straight to their closest and grabbed two over night bags and went to work filling them with what she thought they would need. She wasn't really sure how long they'd be away she knew they were going to get married but then what? Come home? Spend the night some where? Just in case they did Emma packed a little something special for the occasion she had no idea why she bought it but she saw it one day shopping and thought she could put it to good use. Standing there going through a mental check list that she had everything something popped into her mind. Rushing back to the closet Emma rummaged around in the back for a few minutes before she finally found what she was looking for. "Ah ha found you." She sang and came out of the closet and folded it and placed it in her bag before jay could see. Leaving the bags on the bed she went to go check on Skylar.

Jay waited on the couch as the phone continued to ring on the other end, "Come on Sean I don't have all night here." He mumbled and nearly jumped out of his skin as the other end was picked up by an out of breath Sean. "Did I interrupt something?" Jay smirked into the phone, "ha very funny I was in the shower jackass, now what do you want." Sean said as he caught his breath. "Well me and Emma need you to come and watch Skylar for a night or two." He said moving through the living room. "What do you mean a night or two?" Sean asked he was now really confused as to why his friends are disappearing for a couple days with out their kid. "I really can't explain right now but you have to come over as soon as possible please we will explain everything when we get back I promise." He was anxious to go and just needed Sean to do him this favor. "Just promise me your coming back ok, your not ditching me with your baby or anything." Sean said in a worried voice. "Of course not, we would never leave Skylar ever Emma and I just need to ok and take care of something, please just help us out." Sighing Sean nodded as he answered his friend "ok I'll be there in a few minutes." Thanks man we owe you one big time." Jay said and hung up the phone to go find Emma.

Emma was sitting on the floor of her daughter's room with Skylar in her lap giggling as Emma tickled her sides and tummy. "Mama Stop!!" she pleaded in between her fits of giggle. "I can't stop mommies the tickle monster." She said while laughing herself. Jay stood in the doorway of his daughter's room watching the two of them play till Sky noticed him standing there and wiggled out of her mothers grasp. "Hi daddy!!!" she yelled and raised her arms for him to pick her up. "Hi baby girl, your mama and I need to talk to you." He said and walked over to the rocking chair in her room and sat down with skylark in his lap, as Emma got up off the floor and walked over to them.

"Now Uncle Sean is coming to stay with you while mommy and daddy take a little trip." Jay said to her. "I come too?" the little girl asked her parents a little confused as to why they were leaving without her. "No Sky you have to stay here but mommy and daddy will be back really soon ok, I promise." Emma soothed her daughter, it was hard for Emma to leave skylark also since she had been born she never stayed the night away from her baby. "Come back?" Skylar asked her parents as she rubbed her eyes tiredly. Emma smiled and ran her hand over her daughters dirty blond hair, "Yes Sky mommy and daddy will be back in the morning we promise." Skylar nodded her head and reached for her mother. Emma took her from Jay just in time to hear a knock at the door. "Oh that's Sean will you go get the door?" Emma asked Jay while grabbing Skylar's juice cup and getting her pajamas laid out, since Skylar was going to need her bath soon.

"Hey Sean thanks for coming by." Jay said when he opened the door and his friend entered looking like he wanted an explanation. "You know I'd look after Sky anytime but now seriously why am I here." Sean said going into the den and taking his coat off and falling to the couch. Jay closed the door and fell onto the chair across from him. "Look its nothing bad ok, Emma and I just need to go off and do something ok, its something that we've wanted to do for a long time now and we can't take Sky with us, that's all I can tell you. The rest will have to wait till we come back tomorrow."

As Sean opened his mouth to speak Emma came into the room holding Skylar's hand, the toddler let go of her mothers hand and jumped onto the couch with her uncle. "Uncle Sean mommy and daddy are going bye bye." She told him and settled herself on his lap. "Sky we're only going bye bye for tonight we'll be home tomorrow morning, we promise." Emma said sitting on the arm of the chair Jay was in. the young toddler still didn't look convinced but Jay knew what to say to get her to come around. "Sky if you're a really good girl for Uncle Sean than mommy and daddy will bring you presents." And that seemed to do the trick because she immediately perked up and began bouncing on Sean's lap in excitement.

"Something tells me this is Paige's doing. But we really need to get going Jay." Emma said and went to go get the bags from their bedroom. Once she returned she went over and picked up her daughter and hugged her for what seemed forever. "I love you baby ok and we'll call and check in later tonight, so you be a good girl for uncle Sean ok don't give him any trouble." She said into her ear as her little girl hung on tightly to her mother. "I will momma, I love you too." Emma kissed her check and handed her over to Jay so he could say good-bye. "Ok baby like your momma said be a good girl I love you Sky and I'll miss you." I love you too daddy." He gave her a kiss and put her on the floor. As they grabbed their bags and went to the door Sky started to tear up a little and so did Emma. Jay had to usher her out the door or they'd never get out, and Sean picked up his niece and rubbed her back. "It's ok Emma she'll be fine we'll see you tomorrow." Sean said. "I know I'll see you tomorrow baby I love you." And with that they left the apartment.

Jay and Emma were quite as they packed their bags in the car and settled in. "You sure you want to go through with this, we can wait if you changed your mind?" Jay said when he turned the car but he didn't move it till he heard her answer. Emma turned to him and smiled at him and placed a hand on the back of his neck bringing his lips to hers and kissed him slowly yet with a passion that gave him her answer. "I want this Jay I'm never going to change my mind, and I love you even more for not pushing me and making sure it's what I want. But ask me one more time and I'll smack you." She said with humor in her voice.

Jay laughed at her and put the car in gear, and they were off to take the next step in their lives together, 'lets just hope that everyone understands why we did it this way.' He thought and grabbed on to her hand and refused to let it go. He hated to admit it but he was nervous as hell, yes he Jason Hogart was nervous she had said yes, she was the one who wanted to elope, and now she was sitting next to him in the car smiling at him, ok so she was smiling through tears but that was on account of leaving Skylar behind for the night but she was still smiling. Now let's just hope it lasted when they got there and got started with their wedding.

Sean was in the middle of giving Skylar her bath for the night, well more like she was giving him one since all she wanted to do was splash at him. Looking down he saw the front of his shirt was soaked and water was dripping from his hair a little. "Look Uncle Sean look!!!!" the toddler exclaimed and took a deep breath and stuck her head under the water. Sean smiled down at her and her new skill she had acquired, "ok Sky that's enough we don't want you to swallow the whole tub." He said and fished her head out of the water.

Sean leaned over to the counter and grabbed a towel and picked skylark up out of the tub, wrapping her up in the towel and drying her feet off first. Just then they both heard a knock at the front door. "Mama?" skylark asked him, "No sky your mama won't be back till tomorrow, it's probably grandma or someone." He made sure skylark was wrapped up in the towel so she wasn't cold and went to answer the front door.

Looking through the peephole Sean saw that it was just Marco and Paige so he opened the door. "Hey guys Emma and Jay aren't here." He told them noticing the confused look upon Paige's face when he opened the door. The pair shrugged and walked in anyway and Skylar reached out for Paige to take her. "Where did they go off to? Paige asked and held the toddler against her. "No idea they called me over to baby-sit over night, said they'd tell us tomorrow. Hey Paige do you think you could get Skylar ready for bed, since your already holding her and well I need to change." Sean said looking down at his soaked shirt once more. Paige laughed a little and nodded, "sure, come on princess time to get ready for bed." and with that she walked down the hallway and into Skylar's bedroom.

Sean quickly went into Emma and Jay's room to change and came out a minute later to join Marco in the living room to wait for Paige. Fifteen minutes later Paige stepped out of the bedroom, closing the door quietly. "She's down for the night got changed without a fuss and passed out not even half way into her bed time story." She said and sat next to Marco. "So Sean spill where are they." Marco finally spoke up looking his friend dead in the eyes. "Honestly your guess is as good as mine; they said that they couldn't say anything till tomorrow when they came home." The three sat there and moved on with conversation, they'd just have to wait.

Emma and Jay stood in front of the justice of the peace both had smiles on their faces as they said their vows to one another. "Do you Jason Hograt take Emma Nelson to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the old man asked reading from a book that looked as if it had been used hundreds of times. "Jay looked at Emma and couldn't tear his eyes away from the girl standing before him, never even looking at the man before him. "I do, always have." The old man and his wife that stood beside him looked at the loving young couple. "And do you Emma Nelson take Jason Hogart to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Taking a deep breath Emma nodded her head as she gave her answer, "I do, forever."

"Well then I now pronounce you husband and wife." And with that Emma and Jay leaned in for their first kiss as husband and wife. "Do you remember when we first got married Edger." The old lady asked her husband as she looked adoringly at the young kissing couple. "Of course I do, doing this reminds me of it everyday."

"I love you Jay." I love you too Emma." And with that they shared another kiss together before thanking and leaving the house of the old couple. And they were off to their first night alone together as husband and wife.

I'll be true, I'll be useful….

I'll be cavalier….I'll be yours me dear.

And I'll belong to you….

If you'll just let me through.

This is easy as lovers go,

So don't complicate it by hesitating.

And this is wonderful as lovers go,

This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting
