Becky took a deep breath as she opened their bedroom door. She'd wanted to talk. Upon entering she noticed Jesse was already up. Glancing toward the bathroom he wasn't there either. She changed her mind deciding to get dressed for work instead. As she pulled out a freshly folded shirt a piece of paper fell out. She knelt down and picked it up unfolding it. "Wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows surely to the sea..." She stopped reading it a huge smile on her face. She touched Jesse's wedding ring that was laying on the top of the dresser. Slightly laughing as she remembered their wedding day. Jesse choosing the very morning they were gonna get married to go skydiving. How Joey said if he didn't show, he was to marry her. He'd always had an adventurous side. Her smile growing wider as she thought back to him wanting to elope just cause she admitted to loving him.


Becky was on the phone back in her hotel room. "Mom, I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I never wanna talk to Jesse again."
"Becky." Jesse shouted knocking on the door.
"Oh, Mom, that's him. I gotta go." She hung up. And fixed her hair. "What am I doing?" She said out loud as she messed it up again. "Talk. I'm listening." She shouted at the door.
"There's a maid, a bellhop and some guy getting ice staring at me."
Becky opens the door angerly. "Since when does an audience bother you?" She walks away.
Jesse comes in shutting the door. "Hey, I just came by here to tell you something. It was not my fault. And the fact that we broke up is all your fault."
"You're absolutely right, Jess. It is my fault. I met Todd Masters. I watched him eat scrambled eggs and then I did the only logical thing. I threw our whole relationship out the window."
"Don't try to turn this thing around. You were going to dinner with this blow, dried side of beef." He says.
"You don't even know what you're talking about. There you go shooting off your mouth."
"I do know what I'm talking about!" He cuts Becky off.
"No, you don't know what your talking about!" She shouts back. "Your such a hot head. Jumping up on that stage, screaming at me for no reason."
"We've been going out for 6 months, some clown comes in and you go to dinner with him?" He shouts back at her.
"No, I wasn't!" She defends.
"Yes, you were!"
"What? No, I wasn't!" She yells back.
"Yes, you were!"
"No, I wasn't!" Becky says again.
"Let me tell you something." Jesse yells as he grabs Becky dipping her as they kiss.
She stares at him for a minute then continues yelling. "No, I wasn't."
"Yes, you were!"
"No, I wasn't. If you think kissing me's gonna solve this, you've been watching too many old movies." She walks away pacing before facing him again. "And the blow dried side of beef and I were gonna have dinner tonight with you. If you didn't lose your temper and act like a jealous maniac, I could've told you that."
Jesse's slightly shocked. "I'm a jerk. So what you're saying is that... That I broke up with you for no reason." He sits down on her bed.
"Well, look who just woke up."
"I'm sorry, but that's the way I am. That's how I live my life. If I feel something, I go with it. I feel jealous, l act jealous." He stands up again going closer to her.
"Tell me about it." She answers still irritated. She uncrosses her arms as she walks around him.
"I'm not the only one who acts jealous." His voice getting angry again.
"When have l ever been jealous?"
"How about when I hit on that waitress. Right before she punched me admit it, you were jealous." He points at her. She bits her lip snarling at him.
"Okay, maybe for a split second." She admits.
"Okay, so how does it feel?"
"The worst split second of my life." Her anger now disappearing.
"That's what I've been feeling since I got up here. This was gonna be the most romantic, most perfect weekend. I was gonna tell you I love you."
"I love you too." She says with tears in her eyes.
"I had it all planned out. We were gonna take a nice walk by the lake, under the stars..."
"Jesse. Did you hear what I said?" She interrupts smiling at him.
"Yeah, you said 'I love you too.'" He shrugs it off. But then smiles back at her as it finally sinks in. "You love me?"
"Yes." Becky's smile grows wider as she nods.
"And I love you. That means we're in love!" He jumps up on a stool spinning around excitedly. "Yes!" He jumps down kissing Becky causing her to laugh. "It's about time. Becky, I've been in love with you since the first day I saw you. We're in love!" He kisses her again. "We gotta do something. We have to be together all the time. I never want to go through this again. I wanna know that you're mine. Now, we're in Nevada, let's get married."
Becky looks oddly at him before placing her hand on his forehead. "Jess, do you know what you just said?"
"Yes. Yeah. We're in Nevada, let's get married right now. Today." He says excited.
"I don't know what to say." She says in shock.
Jesse takes her hand. "Rebecca Donaldson, I love you. And if anything has ever been right, it's you and me." He gets down on one knee. "Will you marry me?" He smiles up at her.
"Jesse, this is so..." She hesitates and Jesse stands back up. She has tears in her eyes. "Yes." She leans in and kisses him.


She folded the piece of paper back up but left it next to Jesse's ring. After getting dressed she headed toward Megan's room to make sure she'd gotten up. But hearing a voice in the twins room caught her attention. "Do you think that'd be a great idea?" She heard Alex say.
"Yeah. I don't see why not. Your sure to get an A." Jesse commented back surprising Becky. She glanced from where she stood to see both of them smiling.
"Can I borrow your camera?"
"Sure. I'll go get it. You get downstairs and have some breakfast." Jesse said. Becky couldn't have been happier. Their relationship seemed better then it's ever been. Her other two children not so much. Why was it that at least one kid had to be mad at Jesse and all three kids couldn't be happy at the same time. Becky backed away from the doorway not wanting to be caught.
"Mom?" Megan said coming out of her room. "Can I get a ride to school with you?"
"Don't you wanna ride with your brother's?" She brushed a strand of Megan's hair out of her eyes. Megan shook her head. "Okay but we to leave now. Go grab something for breakfast. To go." She glanced back at their bedroom door. Guess talking to Jesse would have to wait.

Jesse sat on the edge of his bed looking at the guitar. He looked at the clock he had a few more hours before the kids came home from school. He took a deep breath before running his hand over the strings. He shook his head looking away. He just couldn't do it. He hated that he let this whole thing escalate this far. His frustration was affecting his relationship. And that was never his intention. Every time he tried to forget about it it's like something reminded him causing him to get angry. Becky was right, he knew it. He'd stopped caring about everything else. Becky and the kids were the most important thing to him. Not music. Her words from the night before stinging. 'I love you more then anything. But I'm not so sure you feel the same way anymore. Explain to me why your pushing me and the kids away? You owe me that much. I want to understand.' He rubbed his hand across his face glancing back at the guitar.

Nicky threw this backpack on the couch as he came in from the front door. He darted up the stairs to his room. After grabbing his forgotten homework from his desk he noticed the house was overly quiet. And realized he hadn't seen his dad downstairs when he came in. He found it odd but didn't have time to worry about it now or he'd be late for third period as lunch was almost over. But as he passed his parents room the door was slightly open. Nicky smiled at his dad fast asleep laying crossways on the bed. Nicky's guitar beside him.
