Chapter Eight-Happy Ending

A Half hour later, everyone crammed themselves into Don's small hospital room; but no one cared about being cramped. Don was okay, Colby was on their side, Marissa was…

"Hey, what happened to your sister?" David asked randomly.

"She didn't make it," Colby said shortly. "She was DOA."

"I want to say I'm sorry, man, but…" Don gestured to the bandages on his neck.

"Don't be, I'm not. She put me through enough hell….." Colby said. There was an awkward silence in the room where Charlie kept nudging Don in the shoulder.

"What? Now?" Don asked.

"We're all together, now's as good as any," Charlie said.

"No, you're just impatient…" Don said.

"So are we," Megan said from a corner of the room.

"Yea, care to fill us in?" Colby said. Don groaned, rolled his eyes, and reached into the side drawer.

"Help me out a bit here Chuck?" Don said. Charlie glared a bit but the stood behind Liz.

"Excuse me," he said to Liz. "Sorry 'bout this." And he covered her eyes with his hands.

"Charlie, what are you doing?" Liz said. As she moved to tear Charlie's hands away, Don grabbed her hand.

"I really wanted to wait until after we got out of the hospital…but Chuck can't wait any longer…" Don laughed. Then, quickly, before Megan and Amita could gasp at what was happening, Don slipped his surprise onto Liz's hand. She smiled widely.

"Charlie let go of my face," Liz said. He did and went back to Amita as Liz saw the diamond ring on her left hand.

"Will you marry me?" Don asked. Liz smiled widely and jumped to kiss Don. "Wait; was that a yes or a no?" Don asked.

"Yes, Don," Liz laughed, hugging her now fiancé tight, careful to not touch his bandage. Everyone in the room clapped and yelped and congratulated the couple. Alan had tears in his eyes and Colby, Megan, Charlie, and David were passing money around the room.

This is how it's supposed to be, Don thought as he held Liz in his arm. Together, happy, settled…

It was a happy ending.

And it was going to stay that way.

End
