Elle obediently laid back in the bed, staring up at Kay as he knelt beside her. She was too shocked to do anything else after what she had felt in his pocket.
"You weren't supposed to find out about this yet," Kay whispered as he leaned down and gently kissed her lips. "I wanted to wait until you were stronger. Maybe until we could get you home and have the doctors check you out."
"I feel fine, better than fine," she murmured as she reached out, wrapping her arms around him and drawing him to her, kissing him.
"Not so much better that you can be out of bed," Kay said with a smile. "It may be better for us to wait on this. I don't want to take any chances on doing something that might hurt you."
"I can guarentee that this will not hurt me a bit," Elle said with a smile. "I'm a doctor, remember. I think I would know about these things."
"I guess you would," he said as he gently kissed her forehead before pulling away from her and reaching into his pocket. Now that the moment was here, he didn't quiet know what to say. This kind of situation wasn't exactly covered in the MiB guidebooks.
"Elle, seeing you hurt and sick, having the doctor say that you were dying. Those were the worst moments of my life. Not being able to help you...."
"You did help me," Elle whispered. "I heard you, calling for me, telling me to come back. I was lost somewhere and so sick. After all of that pain, I wasn't sure that I even wanted to come back Your voice showed me the way home. It gave me a reason to come back. You saved me."
"I love you so much," he murmered as he leaned down and kissed her. "I've never felt this way before. I...." he lifted her hand up and then reached out with his other hand, slipping a ring onto her finger. It had a thin gold band with a tiny diamond in a heart shaped setting in the middle. It was oviously very old. "Will you marry me?"
