The next morning Will woke up still holding Karen in his arms, a nurse walked in to give Karen her medication, but saw that Karen was still asleep and Will was still there, so she apologized.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just going to give Mrs. Walker her medication, but I can come back later."
"No it's alright, I was just leaving. When she wakes up can you please tell her that I had to run some errands and I'll be back this afternoon to bring her home."
"Yes, of course." she smiled, "and the doctor said that Mrs. Walker can be taken home at around 2:00."
"Okay, thank you." Will said as he kissed Karen on the forehead and then left.
Will went over to his and Grace's apartment to shower and get ready. He had a big day planned.
When he was finished getting ready he went over to Jack's apartment to ask him for his help.
"Hey Will." He said as he answered the door.
"Hi Jack, I uhhh… I need your help."
"What's your problem? Just realize you're fat…"
"No, I need you to go shopping with me, I need your help."
"Oh, so you just realized you have terrible taste."
"No! I need to buy something for Karen, and I need you to help me pick it out."
"What are you gonna buy for her?" Jack asked innocently
"What's with the third degree!" Will said frustrated.
"Well I can't help you pick something out for her if I don't know what it is I'm trying to pick out… duh." He said childishly.
"A ring! Okay? I want to buy her an engagement ring! There are you happy!" Will yelled
"Oh… my… God…" Jack stared at him with his mouth wide open
"I know you probably think it's too soon, but I love Karen… so much. And I can't imagine the rest of my life without her in it, especially after what happened last night. It made me realize just how much I need her, and I know you probably think it's a bad idea but I…" he stopped when Jack's open mouth shifted into an enormous smile.
"Will's getting married!" he clapped his hands and spun around in a circle as he jumped up and down.
"Yeah well only if she says yes…" he said as he looked down at his feet.
"Umm duh! Of course she'll say yes! Trust me, I know Karen better than anyone, and if she didn't really love you she wouldn't have had an anxiety attack last night worrying about if you two were going to be able to be together. She loves you."
"Thanks Jack." He said as he gave him a hug. "You know, I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."
"Yeah, you're probably right. It's the only nice thing I've said to you that wasn't a lie." He smiled. Will just laughed.
"Come on Jack, let's go to Tiffany's."
"Yay!"
After spending three hours picking out the perfect ring for Karen, Will dropped Jack off at his apartment, and then went to pick Karen up from the hospital to bring her home. On his way over to the hospital he opened the velvet box that contained the ring, and studied it. It was a platinum band with diamond chips all around it, and one large square cut 12 karat diamond in the center. It was the most amazing piece of jewelry he had ever seen, for the most amazing person he had ever met. Jack had assured him that she would say yes, but he couldn't help but wonder. What if she said no?
When he got to the hospital he stepped out of the cab and his stomach was in knots. Even though he wasn't going to ask her until later on that night the nerves had set in already. He walked through the hospital to Karen's room; he was nervous but also happy to be there. He hadn't seen her all day and he had felt bad for leaving her the way that he did, so he was quite eager to see her.
He entered the room to see Karen arguing with a nurse. Neither Karen nor the nurse had noticed that he entered the room. He couldn't help but smile at the situation. It was so genuinely Karen.
"Mrs. Walker, you have to take your medication if you want to heal properly." The nurse tried to reason with her. Will could tell that the nurse had been doing this with her for sometime now.
"I don't wanna!" she whined. The nurse sighed, obviously getting quite frustrated. Will decided that this would be a good point to jump in. He walked over laughing and put his hand on the side rail of the bed.
"Will!" she yelled happily. He gave her a kiss and then looked at the nurse. Her hand was on her forehead and she sighed heavily. Then he looked back at Karen again.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to take it" she pouted.
"Mrs. Walker the doctor said you…" Karen just mocked her. "Mrs. Walker please!" the nurse said, she sounded like she was on the verge of tears, and at that Karen began to giggle.
"Here, I'll make sure she takes it." Will said taking the medication from her.
"Thank you." She sighed then she ran out of the room.
"Trader." Karen glared at him then smiled.
"What's the matter? You've never had any trouble taking pills before." Karen took the pills and water from Will and downed them in one gulp.
"There." She smiled.
"What… you… why didn't you just do that in the first place?" he asked confused.
"I just wanted to make her mad." She giggled devilishly. Will just laughed.
"You are such a little trouble maker." He continued to laugh. She just smiled proudly at her accomplishment.
"Can I go home yet?"
"Yeah, come on lets get you ready then we can talk to the doctor and get you home."
She stood up and got out of bed. Will leant down and kissed her softly, she deepened the kiss and he entangled his fingers in her hair. When they finally parted he smiled down at her. He knew that he was making the right choice in asking her, he loved her and she loved him.
