Chapter number 28. Marry me?
"I can't believe that after a year and a half I've finally got Amy back" Martha said smiling at Jack who was sitting next to her on the couch.
"Yeah well we've got Harry to thank for that" Jack replied.
"Not just Harry, you too. If you hadn't gone to so much trouble to reopen the case in the first place then Amy would still be in the second floor of Alex's house with Jackie acting like some angel so that Amy would like her" Martha told him planting a kiss on his cheek.
"Yeah I guess so. So what's going to happen when we get back to Australia?"
"What do you mean?" Martha asked.
"I mean, are we going to find a place of our own" Jack asked in a way that hinted something, but Martha couldn't really determine what.
"Well there's not really any rush for that, I'm sure granddad won't mind having Amy stay for a while. Anyway why are you acting suspicious, you only do that when your trying to hint something" Martha told him.
Jack just looked blankly thinking if he should just say it now or wait for the right moment. "Jack" Martha insisted.
"Ok, there's been something I've been meaning to ask you for a while now, but I haven't found the right time yet. Well it's not really how I planned the moment, but Martha will you marry me?" Jack asked getting down on one knee in front of her and taking her left hand in his.
Martha paused for a moment, she wanted more than anything to say yes to that but she had more to think about than herself in this decision. She sighed and then began to talk "Jack, I love you but-".
"But it's not the right time" Jack finished her sentence for her.
"Yeah, it's just not the right time. I've got Amy to think about now, I need to make sure she's ok with you before I rush into something like this. You do understand, Jack baby don't you?"
"Yeah, I do" Jack said, but Martha could tell he was slightly disappointed. He lent forward and kissed her on the forehead before walking into the kitchen.
"Mummy" Amy said as she came into the room.
"Yeah, princess" Martha answered her putting on a smile so she wouldn't think something was wrong.
"I can't sleep".
"Well how about I read you a story, would you like that?" Martha asked.
"Yeap" Amy smiled "Who's that?" she asked pointing into the kitchen.
"Amy this is mummy's new boyfriend Jack".
Amy paused for a moment and then turned her head around to face her mother, she didn't look to happy, she stormed out of the room and slammed her bedroom door closed.
"So how do you think she took that?" Jack asked standing in the door way.
"I don't know. I'll go talk to her" Martha told him taking a deep breath before walking to Amy's room.
