SkittlesStar25: Yes, Craig and Ashley do seem meant for each other, despite how I feel, so there's just no way I could write them apart in this fic.
"I don't know. She just ran out saying she knew the answer." Sean said to Manny after Emma left the gym.
"Maybe she went to the hospital." Manny said romantically.
"I'm going there to pick Ellie up. Would you two care to join me?"
"No, thank you. I need to finish cleaning." That was an excuse. Liberty did not want to be anywhere near Emma and JT when Emma gives her answer.
"I'll go." Manny said a little too perky.
The group was sprawled all over the waiting room. Kate, Ashley's mom, and Jeff, Toby's dad, were in the hospital cafeteria. They were growing listless when Emma walked in. Toby nudged JT, who had fallen asleep. Emma walked over to him, kneeling beside him.
"I think I hear my dad calling me." Toby said looking for an excuse to leave. Wide awake, JT pulled Emma into the now vacant spot.
"I thought a lot about your question." She said slowly. "I even discussed it with Sean."
"Sean Cameron—your ex-boyfriend—your first love?"
"Yeah, that'd be the one." She looked away. She knew JT didn't like hearing about Sean. Sometimes, he thought she still loved him, but she knew she didn't. "He was just being a friend." She replied after seeing the look on JT's face.
"OK, you say he's just being a friend." JT repeated. Emma grabbed his hands.
"Like I said, I thought a lot about your question." She repeated.
This is too soon. It can't be good. JT thought to himself.
"Don't look so worried. I have an answer." She snuck a peak into JT's front shirt pocket. "Um, you might want to get that out." She reached in, pulled out the jewelry box, and handed it to a bewildered looking JT. "My answer is yes." She finished slowly.
"Yes? You said yes?" He jumped up. "That means…oh, wait, I have to do this." He bent down on one knee, opened the box, and placed the ring on Emma's left ring finger. He jumped up bringing her to her feet. "WE'RE ENGAGED!" JT shouted, grabbing Emma in a big kiss. The room exploded with applause.
