Woody: (comes back still grinning, kneels in front of Jordan; deep breath) Jordan Cavanaugh. Will you marry me?

Jordan: (confused) Huh?

Woody: (holds up a little box) Will you marry me? And give Andy a little sibling?

Jordan: You want to have sex.

Woody: No. Uhm. I mean. Uh. Remember when I first moved in? That I'll wait till you're ready? I meant that. Still do. But that's been more than a year. And you never … It's just that, today, you seemed to be ready for another baby. (she doesn't react) Forget I said anything. (pulls back box)

Jordan: No, wait. (takes box from him, opens it) This is beautiful. (smiles)

Woody: I know it's supposed to be a diamond, but …

Jordan: It's a ruby, right?

Woody: Yeah. I don't know. We liked it better than the diamond ones they had.

Jordan: We?

Woody: Andy and me. I had been looking around for a while, but that one day… You like it?

Jordan: Love it. You took Andy to get this? She didn't say anything.

Woody: It's been a while.

Jordan: Oh.

Woody: And?

Jordan: When you asked how Andy would like a sibling you meant we'd have another baby? Together?

Woody: Of course. What else?

Jordan: I don't know. For a moment I thought … But Andy's sleeping in our bed.

Woody: I never said right away. We can start with getting used to her sleeping in her own bed. All of us. We'll take it slowly. As long as we get there, it's cool with me. And when it happens it will be love making, not just sex. And if you want to use something at first and try for a baby later, that's cool too. And somewhere along the line we'll get married.

Jordan: You really want that?

Woody: I do. I love you, Jordan. And I want the perfect life with you.

Jordan: Uhh. That's never gonna happen.

Woody: It will. It almost is. I have a wonderful daughter with a beautiful woman. A great job. What's missing is just to be married to that hot mother of my baby and maybe a son or another daughter.

Jordan: You think I'm hot?

Woody: Yes, you are.

Jordan: Ok.

Woody: Ok?

Jordan: I will marry you, Woodrow Hoyt.

Woody: Because I said you're hot?

Jordan: No, because I love you. (kisses him)

Woody: (kisses back)


It was a simple but nice wedding. All their friends came. Cal flew in to be Woody's best man. Max walked his daughter down the aisle. And Andy proudly acted as flower girl.

Nobody ever knew their wedding night was actually their first time together. It was nothing Jordan ever experienced before. It was love making.

And nine month later, their son, Mathew Brian Hoyt, was born.


THE END
