Belly POV

"Dude, I'm sorry I threw your ring." It was Jeremiah's ring?!

"I had time to think about it in jail," Conrad winced at the mention of jail, "and you were right, I shouldn't have tried to mess-up Belly like that." Apparently he forgot I was in the room.

"That ring was for me?!" I was shocked.

"Well, yeah. Con talked me out of it, though. And I definitely wasn't gonna propose after I walked in on Conrad f***ing you in the pool." Jere made a face. Well this was awkward.

"I'm sorry Jere, but we were broken up. And, I love Conrad, always have always will."

Conrad took my hand. "Belly, I've loved you ever since I could tell what love was. And if I die now, it's ok because I will die next to the person I love." I kissed him then started to cry.

"Can I bring everyone else in now?"

"Yeah, sure. But who's out there?"

"Um, Laurel, Steve, Adam, my dad, Taylor, and Anika, I can bring them in?"

"Yep, never know how long I'm gonna last." I walked outside and shut the door behind me.

"Conrad's doing ok, he's not great, but he's not on the verge of dying, yet. The nurse, Julie Cho, said he could take a turn for the worse at any moment. Con said all you can go in." I went ahead and sat back down on his bed. Jere was in a chair next to Conrad, but he gave it up to my mom and walked over and stood with Taylor, Anika and Steve.

Mr. Fisher walked over to me. He motioned to my seat on the bed, "Belly, may I, please." Conrad grabbed my arm just as I was getting up and sat me back down. He turned to his dad, "no, she stays where she is." I bent down and kissed him.

Mr. Fisher walked to the other side of the bed with my mom. They asked him a couple questions, and then my mom hugged him and said, "Let's give him a minute alone with just the kids."

When all the adults left Anika and Taylor and Jeremiah all walked over. 'Thank you, Taylor and Anika for trying to protect me. I'm sorry you ended up getting hurt, Taylor." She bent down and hugged him very lightly. "And Anika, I'm sorry this happened the first time we met, you probably think we're pretty screwed up." He said this with a smile.

"Naw, everything Belly's said about you and your family makes up for it."

"Good, I knew I loved Belly for a reason! And Steven, thank you man for being here for me all these days. I'll always remember our time in Cousins, especially the time Taylor came and tried to date me, realized I had no interest in her, and moved on to Jeremiah!" he had a huge grin on his face.

"Do you mind if I talk to Conrad alone for a moment, all of you can just go in the bathroom, no need to go into the hall?" I wonder what this is all about. Like Jere asked, all four of us crowded into the bathroom. Steven had his hands on my shoulders and I held Taylor and Anika's hands. We stood like that for five minutes, until Jere told us we could go back.

Conrad told me to come sit on his bed and I obeyed. Jeremiah held the three of them back and told them to hang on a moment. "If I don't die and I make it back to full strength, Isabel Susannah Conklin, will you do the honors of marrying me?" He pulled out a ring, Jere's ring.

I started crying, "Yes, YES! Conrad Beck Fisher, I would love to marry you!" I hugged and kissed him.

All of a sudden, his heart monitor started beeping really fast, then one steady beep. "No!" I was screaming at the top of my lungs and crying hysterically. Everybody came in and ran over, crying.
