(Jack's POV)

After arriving home from our Honeymoon, I carried Elizabeth through the door, Bridal Style.

"Jack, what are you doing?" My amazing wife said as she giggled too. I knew from the moment she was going to be okay all that time ago that I would do everything in my power to give her the best life possible.

"I know I already did this after our wedding, but I wanted to do it once more. You only get married to your soulmate once you know." I put Elizabeth down in the living room, as she smoothed out her dressed and smiled a bit at me.

"Yes, I do know that, you're just acting unusual." She turned to head upstairs, when I put a hand on her forearm.

"Elizabeth… I almost lost you," I could feel tears filling my eyes a bit. "But I have you now and I want to make sure you get the world, because you deserve nothing less."

"Oh Jack, I'm right here, and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

"I love you."

"I love you too." We shared a tender kiss and then parted ways so Elizabeth could change clothes and I could finish bringing in our luggage.

Later that night as we sat together at the dinner table, we heard a knock at the door.

"I've got it," I got up to see who it was and it was none-other than Rosemary and Lee. "Lee, Rosemary, what brings you too over here?"

"Well Jack, we don't mean to intrude, but a little birdie told me you were back from your Honeymoon and just wanted to say hi," Rosemary was grinning from ear to ear, and carrying a basket with her.

I could hear Elizabeth walking up to the door where we all "Well that's so sweet of you, won't you come in?" I opened the door a little wider and moved to the side to let our good friends in. Lee mouthed "sorry" to me, to which I just smiled back. To be quite honest, Elizabeth & I missed everyone in Hope Valley while we were away - that's right. The town name was changed to Hope Valley after the news was spread that Elizabeth was going to be getting better.

Once we were all settled at the table again, food was consumed and laughter was shared.

"Oh! Elizabeth, I have something for you." Rosemary pulled a multitude of cards out for Elizabeth and they fell onto the table. "I told the children at school to write letters of what they were up to while you were away. They are school excited to have Mrs. Thornton back in the classroom full-time again."

"I am very excited to be back, Rosemary, and these are so wonderful, I have missed them all dearly. Thank you again for taking such good care of them throughout everything." I loved watching Elizabeth interact with others, because I got to witness her genuine, reactions to things. The way her eyes smile, and how her dimples show when she just barely smiles. She was absolutely beautiful now matter what, but in moments like these I was reminded of how lucky I was to still have her in my life.

"It was my pleasure, it's just what friends do." Thinking back to when Rosemary and Elizabeth first met, I was astonished at just how far they had come, how we all had. I loved being able to have dinner, just the four of us, there was never a dull moment.

"So, Jack, what are you plans for work now that you're back?" Lee took a bite of the chicken I had made earlier.

"Well, I'm going back to work with Bill, and Headquarters shouldn't be contacting me for anything too dangerous unless they really need me. We're going to try and have a baby in the near future, so I want to make sure I'm around for that." I didn't want to bring up my trips too much, seeing as they worried Elizabeth. I didn't want her to have to go through that either.

"I'm sure that whatever happens will be meant to be,"

"If I've learned anything over the past few months, it's exactly that."
