Prologue
"PJ, do you really think this is a good idea? I mean, what if someone gets suspicious that we both leave together?" Jo asked PJ. She was lying with her head on his chest in their favorite spot on Govet's Leap.
"They won't" PJ replied matter-of-factly, earning a questioning look from Jo. "I have a plan."
"What plan?" Jo asked.
"Well, you leave first. I don't know, get a transfer or something, and we can make it so that everyone thinks that we had some sort of fight or something. Then I'd follow you, to get you back, and say I had to because I was the reason you left."
"And then everything will be peachy" Jo said, fingering the ring on her finger.
"Yep, and after the wedding we might even come back and surprise everyone" PJ said excitedly.
"Yeah, can you imagine the looks on their faces when we tell them?"
"They'll be so shocked, they don't even suspect a thing. Except maybe Ben. But even he wouldn't suspect this." PJ laughed.
"I just wish that we could tell them and invite them to the wedding" Jo sighed.
"Yeah. But you know we can't tell them until we know they can't try and break us up. It has to be a small wedding."
"I guess I've just always dreamed I'd have a white wedding," said Jo dreamily.
"Well I promise you that when we get back, and no one can break us up, you can have your white wedding."
"Well, it's getting late. We'd better get home before Ben starts to worry." Jo pointed out.
"Yeah. Well let's go then, fiancé." PJ said, standing up and holding out his arm. Jo giggled.
"OK, I'm coming, fiancé."

Jo woke up to the sunlight streaming in through her window. She smiled. Today was her wedding day. Even though it was only going to be a small wedding, it was still going to be the best day of her life. She rolled over to see the person she was marrying, but instead was staring at an empty bed.
"PJ?" she called, climbing out of bed. She looked around the bedroom and noticed a note on the dressing table. She picked it up.
I will always love you and I'm so sorry to have to do this to you. PJ.
Jo fell to the floor and started crying. How could he do this to her? How could he leave her on their wedding day? She hadn't even had a chance to give him the surprise she was planing. The surprise that she was pregnant.
