(Elizabeth's POV)
Jack was over at the Sawmill getting things settled with Lee for the new buildings in town, while I was teaching. I was so excited to wake up each day in the very spot where everything changed for Jack & I, and I was over the moon to also have more space to expand my students' knowledge of the world.
I hadn't been feeling the best in the morning, but I thought it was due to the weather, or from all of the excitement. I didn't mention anything to Jack, because I was worried he'd over-react. Or worse, my fears would creep back up too. I had nothing to be afraid of anymore though. Everything was looking up for me. I had my life back, I had the most amazing and patient husband, I had a house and a new one underway, and a new school in the works. I kept my calm, and focused on my calling, my students.
During lunch though, I had to take my eyes of the children, for I ran behind the Church and got ill. It wouldn't stop, at least, that's what I was worried about. I knew I had to finish school, for I didn't want the little ones to worry too. So I picked myself back up and called everyone back inside.
(Abigail's POV)
Things in my life had been running quite smoothly. Once Elizabeth finally healed from her cancer-scare, she & Jack moved into my old row house, making room for Frank to move in with Cody & I. I loved Frank, and I cared about him deeply. I loved the way he treated me, and how much of a role model he was for Cody. And even though Becky wasn't around as much, I knew the two cared about each other as well. I knew Noah would just want me to be happy, and I was. Everything was falling into place. I had a loving partner, two children whom I adored, and a café of my dreams.
"Abigail?" I heard the door to the café open, as I was making my bed, seeing as I had forgotten to make it that morning.
"I'm up here Frank!"
"Actually, can you meet me outside please?"
I finished up, and hurried downstairs. Frank seemed off, and I was nervous to find out what was wrong.
Outside, I found the photo of my children that Cody had made me, and candles surrounding it. I also found Frank standing beside one of Noah's old suits that was pinned to the clothesline.
"Frank? What's going on?"
"I wanted this moment to just be you & I, but I also know that we wouldn't be here without Noah, Peter, Becky, and Cody. So I found a way to find a perfect balance of both." Frank took a step closer to me and held me hands.
"Abigail, you are my whole world. I have a purpose when I'm with you, I don't need to run away anymore. You've taught me how truly remarkable it is to stay and fight through life's toughest battles. You've taught me what it means to forgive, and most importantly, you taught me how to love." Frank got down on one knee, opening up a ring box.
"Abigail Stanton, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?"
"Oh Frank, of course. Yes, I will marry you." Frank slide the ring onto my finger, and he stood back up. We shared a passionate kiss, and then embraced.
Suddenly, Elizabeth appeared around the corner, startling us. She looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?"
"I'm worried it's back. That I'm sick again."
