FOUR YEARS LATER.

"Mommy, I'm tired." Christina said, tossing in her car seat.

"It's only a few more miles sweet pea. Just be patient." Jessica said, trying to keep her eyes on the road.

She had been offered a job at the Metropolitan Police station. The one in Greenville was ok for awhile... but after breaking up with Christina's father... she just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

The radio was the only thing that was keeping her awake. She had been driving for 5 hours straight.

Finally she saw the sign she had been longing to see for so long.

'Welcome To The Evergreen State'

She smiled. Only a little while longer.

She started to see familiar buildings... the police station... rocket dog... the bowling alley...

And then there is was. She was finally there.

"Ok, sweetheart we're here." She said turning around to face Christina.

Christina whined. "Can I sleep now?"

"No, not quite Chris." Jessica said getting out of the car.

She got Christina out of her car seat, she flopped on her shoulder like a rag doll. It had been a long day.

Jessica went to the trunk, and pulled out the suit case. She slammed the door, and opened the door to her building. She climbed the stairs, it took forever. Even though Christina was only 3 years old, she was quite heavy.

She finally made it up to the top. She walked down the hall way. As she got closer to the door, she saw a someone who looked awfully familiar standing at her door.

He turned around.

"Tommy!" she cried.

He was standing with a bouquet of rose in his hand.

Jessica put Christina down and ran in to his arms.

"I came as soon as I heard you were joining the force again... I had to see you. I've missed you so much."

Tears rolled down Jessica's face. "I missed you too."

Tom got down on his knee, he took Jessica's hand in his. "I know you just got into town... but I never want to lose you again. Jessica Marie Rosemont... Will you marry me?"

Tears started pouring from her eyes. "Yes. Of course I'll marry you."

Tom picked up Jessica in his arms. "I'll never let you go again. I want to be with you always."
