Kriss sat on the bed feeding Llewey. Dave walked in and looked at Kriss. She smiled at him, her 'I'm sorry' smile shone through her face and onto Dave. He had decided to stay strong and be angry with her whatever happened; there was just one problem, when she smiled like this with tears in her eyes it made his heart melt. Only this particular smile was much more powerful than that. It was so powerful; it had made Dave fall in love with her all over again
"Okay" he said, "you win, I'll let you explain"
Kriss told him all about the memory swapping and how he got the idea for it.
"Why did you do it Kriss?" he asked her
"Arnold put me through hell that day" Kriss told him "I never wanted to go through that again"
"I understand" Dave said
"I wanted him out of Chloë's life as her father, you were so natural with her, almost like she was yours!" Kriss started sobbing "I've ruined it now haven't I?"
"No you haven't" he reassured her "I'm still her, I still love you, Chloë's still her, she still loves your and our boys love you too!"
"Hold on a second" she stopped him "You don't want to leave me?" she was so surprised
"Of course not" he laughed "I understand that you did what you did for the right reasons and to be honest I would've done exactly the same thing" Kriss smiled "there's another thing" he told her "you're Kristine Kochanski, I'm Dave Lister, I'll always love you, things wouldn't be right if I didn't love you!" Kriss leant towards him
"Oh, Dave" she told him "I love you too!"
They kissed and then they made love. Amazing, powerful, wonderful romantic love. Many new feelings were flowing through their body. These were feelings you only experienced if you were making love to your soul mate. When Dave came inside her he screamed out her name at the top of his lungs.
"I love you and I'm sorry," he whispered after the feeling of immense pleasure had passed
"I love you too," she told him.
Dave leant backwards and put his hand under the bed, when he pulled his hand out it was clasped in a fist and there was something in his palm.
"What's that?" Kriss asked him. Dave didn't answer, he just got up off the bed and pulled Kriss so she was standing in front of him
"I've been wanting this since the boys were born," he confessed "I just never had the courage to actually ask you!"
"Ask me what?"
"Kristine Kochanski" Dave took a deep breath "will you marry me?"
"Yes" she giggled, "Yes I will, of course I will"
Kriss and Dave curled up together and fell asleep in each other's arms. Kriss was amazed. Dave was relieved. But both of them were in love and sure that they had found their soul mate.
