*~Chapter 13~*

***The Gatehouse***

(This chapter picks up right where the last one left off)

Ned: We can. We take it one step at a time remember. (she nods) So... marry me Alexis. (she just looks at him) Say Yes.

Alexis: Your serious.

Ned: Yes I am. (making her look at him) Alexis, honey, it's your call. What do you want to do?

Alexis:(tearful) Nobody has ever loved me the way you do.

Ned: So...

Alexis: So...(she gives him a long slow kiss, softly, barely pulling away from him , looking him in the eyes)...Yes, yes I'll marry you. (He kisses her)

Ned: (almost as if he's afraid to ask) Your sure? I don't want you to do anything your not ready for.

Alexis: Honestly...I'm terrified, but when I looked into your eyes I saw my future... and it's with you, so yes I'm sure. I want to marry you and this time I will say "I do" and I'll mean it with all my heart.

Ned: Third times a charm.

Alexis: I certainly hope so. (they hug, but Alexis still kind of looks terrified).
