Marry me…marry me…will you marry me…The words echoed in Elektra's head. She had no idea what to say. She loved Matt, but she also had feelings for Mark.

"Oh god" Elektra whispered.

"You don't have to say yes" Matt said quietly, his face looking slightly fallen.

There was silence in the room as Elektra's mind raced. Over in the corner, Abby stuck her head out from behind the couch. She had snuck in when Matt and Elektra were distracted.

"I thought you loved Dad!" Abby cried. She knew instantly that she had blown her cover.

"Abby!" Elektra snapped.

"Is it true?" Matt asked, his eyes filling with tears.

"I…uh….I….um…..no" Elektra said, pleasantly surprising herself.

"What?" Abby and Matt asked in unison.

"No…no…no!" Elektra cried. "I don't love Mark, I love you Matt!"

"Really?" Matt asked.

"Yes! So, if your offer still stands I..." Elektra was cut of as they all heard a thump followed by the scuffling of feet. Abby, Elektra, and Matt all ran into the kitchen where they saw Mark dusting his clothes.

"What are you doing here?" Elektra asked.

"I thought I'd just pop by, I knocked on the door, but no-one answered. So I came around here."

"Out" Matt said.

"What?"

"Out!"

"I…"

"I said get out!" Matt said, his voice slightly raised. Mark walked out of the room, and out the front door.

"Now, back to that proposal" Elektra said, smiling. Matt took Elektra's left hand and asked again.

"Elektra Natchios, Will you marry me?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Elektra cried. Matt slid the diamond ring on her finger. Matt stood up and took Elektra in his arms.

"I love you" He said before he kissed her.

"I love you too" Elektra replied.

"No! You have to marry dad!" Abby screamed. Tears ran down her face. She loved Elektra like she loved her mother. She couldn't bear to have Elektra taken away from her.

"No!" Abby screamed again.

"Abby, what's wrong?" Elektra asked.

"You have to marry dad!" Abby screamed again.

"Abby, I'm not in love with Mark"

"But you told me you loved him!"

"I do love Mark! But I'm in love with Matt"

"But that's the same isn't it?"

"No, I love Mark like a brother, or a really good friend. I love Matt like he's my soul mate"

"But, it's not right! I need you! Dad needs you!"

"Marl's doing fine on his own. All my life I've been thinking of other people, now it's my turn to be happy"

"But, you are happy! You were happy with my dad! I saw the look on your face when you kissed him that first time!"

"How do you…"

"I followed you"

"It's not the same! I smiled when I kissed Mark that first time because I hadn't seen Matt in a long time, and kissing Mark reminded me of what being with Matt was like"

"I want you to be my mother!" Abby moaned, she sank down to her knees and cried.
