A/N: Hello dear readers. Once again, sorry to have been MIA again. Did you see they cast Kevin McGarry and Chris McNally in season 6. Like Jack who? Daniel who? LOL! Too bad I won't be watching cuz those are two handsome fellas that are about to roll into Hope Valley. I know this won't happen cuz it's Hallmark, but then again I did think the same about Jack dying, but I hope she falls instantly in love with one of them and forgets all about Jack. I hope one of them has the good sense to not make her wait forever. Anyways, enough of me ranting. Back to the story. P.S. This chapter is kinda short. Leave a review of what you would like to see next, cuz I'm literally blanking on ideas. #STEAMALERT

1 Week Later

Elizabeth was bustling about the kitchen, cooking breakfast for her family. Ever since Jack's arm had fully healed, he had been pampering her. Cooking meals, doing laundry, giving the children baths. In her heart, she knew that he was only doing this to show her how much he loved her after the awful things he had said to her in anger, but somewhere in the back of her mind, there was a little voice telling her that all of his independence meant that he didn't really need her around. She knew it was silly but she continued along anyway. About a half hour later, Jack walked into the kitchen. She couldn't deny that he looked rather attractive with his hair all messed up and his pants lying low on his hips. He greeted his wife with a kiss and went to sit down in front of his plate.

"Not that I'm not grateful, but what is all this for?" Jack asked, digging into his food.

"Nothing." She lied.

"Elizabeth, you are a terrible liar." Jack chuckled. "Come here." Elizabeth went to sit on his lap. "Now what's really going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

"I don't know." Elizabeth started to tear up. "I just feel like you don't need me anymore."

"What makes you say that?" Jack asked.

"You just seem to have everything under control. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, all on top of work."

"Elizabeth I was only doing all that stuff because I wanted to show you how much I love you." Elizabeth didn't look all that convinced. Jack knew it had to go deeper than that. "Is this about what I said the other week?" He got his answer when Elizabeth didn't respond. "Sweetheart, you have to know that I need you more than anyone in this world. I couldn't do anything without you. Heck, you're the one who taught me all those things. I promise," He kissed her. "I just want you to feel as loved as possible. Okay?" Elizabeth felt somewhat better afterward but Jack knew he still had some convincing to do. After he finished his breakfast, he cleaned his plate off and went to find his wife, who had gone to finish the laundry. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm gonna run into town real quick. I'll be back." He pecked her cheek and was off.

In Town

Jack knocked on Faith's door and waited. A few seconds later, she opened the door, surprised see him.

"Jack, what brings you to town?" She asked pleasantly.

"I was wondering if you could watch Patrick and Lily for the day." He said.

"Of course," she answered. "I'd love to. I've been dying to spend time with those two."

"Great. I'll back in just a bit."

After Jack left Faith's house, he rode back to his own. Upon entering, he heard Elizabeth singing. He walked up the stairs to the nursery and found her rocking the twins to sleep.

"Elizabeth." He called gently, reaching for his son. "Faith has agreed to watch them today." He explained.

"That's awfully nice of her but neither of work today. Why would she need to watch them?" Elizabeth asked, perplexed.

"Because today is just going to be me and you. No distractions. No babies. Just you, me, this house, and all the love we have to offer each other. My goal of today is to make you never doubt how much I love and need you again." He replied, smiling. "How does that sound?" He asked.

"It sounds perfect." She said, getting up to put Lily in the travel carriage. "I'll and get the bag ready." Once the travel bag was packed and the twins were ready, Jack went to drop them off at Faith's house. When he got back home, he lit a few candles in front of the fireplace. He went upstairs to find his wife.

"Sweetheart?" He called.

"In here." She answered from the bathroom. Jack followed the sound of her voice and found her putting her hair in a bun. "Any problems?" She asked, as she finished.

"Nope. They slept like babies." He answered. Elizabeth laughed and took his outstretched hand once she was done with her hair. He led her downstairs in front of the fireplace.

"Jack, you are such a romantic." She said as she sat down with him. "So what exactly did you have in mind for us to do today?" She asked.

"A little bit of this." He said, kissing her lips. "And a little bit of this." His lips moved down to the top of her chest as his hands unbuttoned her blouse. "And some of this." His lips travelled even further south. As he removed the rest of her clothes and started on his own, he felt her soft lips on his neck. Once they were both bare, Jack hovered over Elizabeth, holding himself up on his elbows. He stroked her cheek before kissing her deeply.

"Elizabeth?" He whispered.

"Yes Jack?" She responded.

"You are my whole world. I mean that. I know I haven't always been the best husband or even friend for that matter but you make me want to be better. I love you so much. Your love keeps me going everyday and the thought of coming home to you makes me indescribably happy. What I said about not needing you and needing space, I didn't mean it. I was angry at myself for not being able to provide for you, my wife, as a husband should. I was too arrogant and stupid to remember that said wife is strong and independent and doesn't always need me to take care of her." Elizabeth reached up to caress his face.

"Jack. I love you too. You are my life. My soulmate. You are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love being your wife. You and Patrick and Lily are the best things that ever happened to me. I'm sorry for making you feel like I'm doubting your love. I feel it everyday."

"Well I still plan to keep my word." He said, kissing her again.

"And what word is that?" She asked."

"The one where I said that I was gonna make sure you never doubt my love." And with that, Jack and his wife got lost in the throws of passion.

An hour later, Jack and Elizabeth laid together on the blanket, still in front of the fireplace.

"Wow." Elizabeth breathed.

"You didn't know I had that in me did you?" Jack chuckled.

"To be honest, no I didn't." Elizabeth laughed.

The two caught their breaths for a minute before Elizabeth turned to face Jack.

"You ready for more?" Elizabeth smiled, seductively. "Now I can show you what I can do."

2 Months Later

"Hey sweetheart." Jack called as he entered the house. "Where are you?"

"I'm in the bathroom." She answered.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked.

"I didn't feel so good." She said, rubbing her stomach.

"Well I told you that chicken was probably not any good." He replied, thinking back to their dinner last night. He had forgone the poultry and settled on her leftover vegetable stew but she, for some strange reason, had really wanted chicken.

"Sweetheart, I don't think it's the chicken that's making me sick."
