Carter's POV
"Hey Abby, you got a sec?"
It was a month or so after we had found out about what'd happened to Abby. And in that month, I'd realized how much I love her, and how much I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
"Yeah, what's up Carter?"
It was the end of my shift on a Friday night.
"Uh, you want to catch some dinner tonight? Maybe a walk on the beach?"
"The beach?!"
"Yeah, I was thinking maybe, uh, we could go to the beach. . . That is, if you wanted to."
"Of course! That sounds great! I'm off in about 5 minutes, I'll meet you in the lounge?"
"Sounds great. I'll be there in 5."
About 10 minutes later, Abby walked into the lounge.
"Hey, sorry I'm late. Susan needed me for this big trauma - "
"That's okay, you're here now."
"So, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"ooh, a surprise, huh? It's not Docs is it?"
We both chuckled a little."
"No, no, of course not!"
"Okay, good! Let's go, I'm starving!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
We ended up going to a cute little French place for dinner called "Belle Journee". Then afterwards I took her for a nice walk on the beach.
"So, how'd you like dinner?"
"It was great, thanks!"
"Abby, I just want to tell you how much I love you, and I think you are such a strong woman. You have gone through so much, and you have dealt with it so gracefully, and so perfectly that it just blows me away. I know that I wouldn't survive ever being without you."
I was speaking the truth. I could never live without her, and I wanted to tell her that.
"John, I love you too. So much. I don't think I could ever survive without you either."
We were holding hands, and sitting down now just listening to the tranquility of the ocean. It was the perfect moment.
"Abby?"
She had been looking at the ocean, so she turned her head to look at me.
"Mmm?"
God, she was beautiful, and God, was I scared. I pulled out the ring, despite all my fears. It was the ring that I had almost given her once before. I opened it up and showed it to her, and I saw her eyes just light up as she looked at it.
"Stay with me forever? Marry me?"

A/N: Hey, sorry for the cliffhanger guys! But I hope you liked it, and I'm going to have to finish my 10th chapter, so it might take a little bit longer than usual, sorry! But remember to review! Thanks!
