Chapter 10- When two people in love disagree.

I would like thank Cheryl Persons for beta reading my last future chapters of this beloved fanfic as I am grateful for the help.

Warning; This chapter will leave a bump with Jack and Elizabeth, all couples have these bumps, but no matter what Jack and Elizabeth will be to withstand them.

The children, Jack, and Elizabeth made their way to the town doctor. Before entering the doctor's office, Elizabeth insisted for Jack to put her down, to engage in a final group hug of the year, as she passed on words of wisdom for them to hold onto for the summer.

"Remember this children...gravity is the force the pull two together,

"Pockets". finishes Ms. Thatcher, as she remember that moment and so did Jack,

"gravity, is the force the pull two together"

"That is right, pockets"

Jack remembered that day perfectly as if it were yesterday, the day he first admired Elizabeth's skills as a teacher, willing and able to think on her feet to agitate him. Elizabeth remembered that day clear as day, she even thought trying to prove a point to the imitating Jack Thornton that she could handle herself in any situation and let nothing stop from getting her point across and when Elizabeth saw Jack look at her with admiration and attraction for her as she had attraction for him when she noticed him chopping wood.

Elizabeth mentioned the gravity to get point across to jack and her students that gravity can also pull people together and even pull them apart, but when they are pulled apart the force of a connection or bond can be so powerful it can bring them back together. She wanted to get her point across that gravity and God wanted her and Jack to be man and wife, till death to they part, for sickness and health, and for better or worse.

So Elizabeth concluded class with this:

"And students, Jack remember this, not just objects are forced down to the ground. but gravity can also pull people together drawn in when we least expect it. No matter what, we will always be forced back to each other when summer ends. Have a great summer, you are dismissed early after you've thanked Constable Jack for carrying me and helping out on your field-trip"

"Thanks constable Jack"

And students of Coal Valley were free to enjoy 3 months summer knowing and eager to return to Ms. Thatcher in their new church and schoolhouse.

Jack carried Elizabeth into the doctor's office, he sat her down on the chair by the entrance door of the doctor's office, Jack left Elizabeth alone to fetch the doctor so he could exam her ankle. Elizabeth was prepping herself, thinking since now they might have their picnic Jack would not waste no more time and propose marriage.

Jack returned without the doctor, as he sat by her side and informed her,

"The doctor is with a patient and will be right out."

Elizabeth said, "No rush, gives us a chance to be alone now and talk, since now we won't be able to go on our picnic because of my leg."

Jack was certainly not prepareed to ask Elizabeth to accompany her to see her parents this summer, but he looked like Elizabeth was eager to talk, so it was better late than never.

Jack coughed and said, "It is a shame about the picnic, as I do have something important to ask you. It's so much for right timing, but better late than never."

Elizabeth could tell Jack was nervous as his hands were shaking but she was there to assure him, grab his hand, and use her other hand turn his face to him looking into her supportive eyes and tell him,

"Jack, whatever you have to ask me, my answer will be yes."

"I haven't even ask you the question yet, Elizabeth."

"I know, Jack, but you are nervous in asking. So I am doing my best to assure you, you have nothing to be nervous about. So please, Jack just ask me whatever it is that in your heart."

Jack was happy to have that assurance from Elizabeth, so he sighed and immediately asked her,

"Elizabeth Thatcher, will you do me the honor of..." Jack hesitated, looking at Elizabeth so eager for him to finish his sentence. Elizabeth's heart was racing, palms sweating, eagerly waiting for jack to finish by saying

Being my wife.

Jack then finished the sentence quickly "Accompanying you to see your parents this summer?"

Jack asked Elizabeth so quickly she said "Yes," without thinking Jack happy as can be picked her up and spun her around.

Jack whispered, "I will do right by you Elizabeth, and ask your father for your hand in marriage."

After Elizabeth heard that from Jack's mouth, while being spun...clarity came to her and she was disappointed in what she yes to.

So the disappoint grew to anger, when she realized that Jack, the man she wanted to marry, and who wants to marry her had not ask to marry her. She pushed him away from her, hopping on one leg yelled,

"Constable Jack? Why are asking me to see my parents? My home is here with you. You don't need any permission from no one to ask for my hand, expect me!"

Jack was confused and could not understand what had just happened. They were happy and now Elizabeth was upset.

What is going on here, Jack thought

Then he said out loud and reaffirmed to her of his intentions,

"Elizabeth Thatcher, I love you, I want to marry you!"

Elizabeth hopped back into the chair she was sitting in and held out her hand and demanded, "Jack" .

"Then ask me right here, right now, Jack Thornton. If you love me, like you say do, ask me to be your wife, I'm yours"

Jack very tempted to spare no hesitation in getting down on one knee and asking for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. But, Jack was still haunted about not doing the right thing the first time he proposed, he made his vow with the Lord that he would do things right.

And Jack had no choice but to get down on one knee and take Elizabeth's hand and tell her,

"Elizabeth, I love you so much, that I can't ask you to be my wife until I ask your father of my intentions for you."

Elizabeth crushed in tears, she admired his duty, but another part of her thought maybe this was just an excuse for him. And Elizabeth wasn't going to settle for excuses. Elizabeth was so distraught for her to look at Jack to believe all she could do was say to him.

"Leave!"

Jack stunned, "What, Elizabeth? Please you have to understand..."

Elizabeth added "I understand, Jack that you are obliviously not ready to marry me."

"Elizabeth, that is not true, please look at me and tell me you believe me."

Elizabeth didn't have the strength to look up at him as she was sobbing, and between the sobs pleaded,

"Jack, I'm sorry, you have to leave, the doctor will care for me."

"Elizabeth!" Jack tried to explain.

But Elizabeth screamed "LEAVE!"

Jack didn't sat another word, got up from his knees, and slowly walked to the door to leave open the door to outside which the weather was gloomy and pouring rain, before stepping out the door, all Jack could say was,

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you but remember your own words Elizabeth. Not just objects are forced down to the ground, but gravity can also pull people together and draw them in, when we least expect it. No matter what, we will always be forced back to each other"

Elizabeth said nothing, the only things Jack could hear was the raindrops hitting the ground that didn't overshadow the sobs of Elizabeth's broken heart. Jack was trying his best to stay strong and not cry himself, at least the nature of God is expressing how both him and Elizabeth are feeling. Jack walked out the door and shut the door behind him. Just after Jack left, the doctor and his patient found a sobbing Elizabeth Thatcher as they could tell not only her ankle was broken, but her heart as well.

Sorry for the pain and heartaches Hearties but I promise you all ends well trust me :)

Next chapter next week.
