Jacob:

Theresa has been doing amazing since coming home - She has really healed up nicely. I also joined paramedic school and was doing fire-fighter training on the side. She was fully supportive, as well as the rest of the family.

Tonight - we were finally going to go out for her birthday as an early birthday present - Her birthday wasn't until tomorrow. Alice was going to start the party tomorrow night at 7. But for tonight, she was mine and I was hers. I am going to take her out to dinner and a movie, and then go to Charlie's cabin for us to spend the night at. Alice packed her bag for her and mine as well - I told her not to mainly because I didn't want her going through my underwear drawer - That was just weird and creepy. She didn't need to see my boxers. She didn't listen anyway.

I was waiting downstairs, for Theresa and the girls to come down. I was in a blue dress shirt, and dress pants. I smiled watching Theresa come down the steps - She was in a red dress that hugged her body and with heels and her hair was curled.

"Wow." was all I could mutter. She smiled.

"I clean up good don't I?" She teased. I smiled and nodded. " You look amazing.". She smiled and grabbed her jacket and purse. "Thank you." She said kissing my cheek. "Bye mom and dad." She smiled and let them take a picture. Charlie gave me a thumbs up and mouthed 'Good Luck' He knew, I had talked to him months ago about it and gained his permission to ask her.

We left and headed to the movie theater first.

Later on that night, we went up to the cabin and I put on music while Theresa went to go use the bathroom. She came back out as I was looking at the ring. I quickly put the ring box under the couch cushion. She seen me fix the cushion. "What are you doing?" She asked.

I smiled and pulled her up and gave her a twirl. "Just waiting for you." I said kissing her lightly. She smiled and kissed back pulling me close. "Good because I missed you."

I smiled and kissed her again. " Where do you see us in a year?" I asked kissing her neck. She smiled. "With you." I smiled hearing her, "And 5 years?"

"With you. You're stuck with me forever." She teased and kissed my neck, I groaned slightly and pulled her closer kissing her more. She pushed me down on the couch and kissed harder. I groaned and kissed her harder pulled her closer and felt my hands trailing her waist. I stopped and kissed her lips some more. She groaned and kissed my jaw line.

"Before we go further… Can I get up for a minute?" I asked, sitting up and getting up. She watched and sat up. I then pulled her up from the sofa with the box now in my pocket.

"Theresa… Let's talk about a serious issue." I said playing with her, and watching her.

"What issue?" She asked playing with a button on my shirt.

"Well…I just want to ask you something." I got down on one knee. " I just couldn't wait any longer, I wanted you to know how much I love you - for now and forever. It's because you're amazing, smart, talented, and you crack me up everyday and that is very important to me."

She smiled and laughed slightly, "I'm sure i made you cry some of those days too for a while anyway.

"Theresa I have a whole new life now - Everything that we have been through has been amazing and scary. Has made me realize what life is about. I want to thank you for sticking by me, and being my rock. I also want to continue being your rock in this whole crazy life we live.." I reached into my pocket. "Excuse me I've been hiding this for a while.." I smiled. " Jennifer Theresa Marie Swan, will you - "

She smiled and kissed me hard before i could finish it and ended up tackling me to the floor. "Yes!" She said kissing me harder and I laughed in between kisses. "This is not the reaction. I was going for.." I said kidding and happy she said yes.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy to be with you for now and forever. You're the only man I love and am going to continue loving." She said kissing my face.

"By the way do you want to see the ring?" I asked picking up the box off the floor. She smiled and laughed and looked at it. "Tell me you like it." I said opening it.

"It's beautiful." She said looking at it.

"Theresa, you're beautiful." I said kissing her. "I hope you like it, i spent a lot of time picking it out and dragging Eddie with me. Hopeful to find the perfect one." I laughed.

"You're the perfect one for me. I love you so much." She said kissing me more and letting me slide the ring on.

"I love you also, Theresa. " I smiled and kissed her hand and held her close.

She smiled and looked up at me, "Do you want to move this celebration into the bedroom?" She teased kissing more and sitting up. I smiled and picked her up. "You sure?" She nodded and kissed more. I carried her into the bedroom.

I laid her on the bed and she pulled me on top. She undid my shirt and through it to the floor, then in turn took her dress off. We ended up becoming one for the first time together.

Theresa

I cuddled close to him after and smiled. " Looks like it'll be to wait to wear white to the wedding." I said kidding.

Jacob laughed slightly, "White is over-rated." He said kissing my forehead. " Was it a good birthday?" He asked looking over at me. I nodded. "Very good. 17 never has been more amazing."

I cuddled closer and felt his arms wrap around me. "I was very surprised you proposed." I smiled. He smiled back and kissed more. I wrapped my arms around him and climbed on top and kissed harder. I groaned going closer. " Round 2?" I muttered.

He laughed and kissed more, "If you wish." I smiled hearing him..

"I won't force you." I said kissing his neck.

He laughed more and sighed. "I'll try to enjoy it." He said playfully and flipped me on to the bottom.

We cuddled closer after our other encounter. I smiled and cuddled closer, "Love you Jacob."

He smiled and kissed me again, "Love you too fancy-face,"

We cuddled close together and fell asleep after enjoying our time together.
