"So, I don't think we need a therapist for our problem" Charlene sighed, wiping her now dried tears.
"Now you tell me" Maybeck snapped back.
"Hey, it was worth a shot…but now I know the true problem…"
"If you say it was me, I'm gonna…"
"Gonna what?" Charlene interrupted.
"Nothing dear" Maybeck shut up suddenly.
"I was going to say the problem all along was me…Donnie, I don't know what I was thinking. We've never needed counseling and I want to apologize for putting you through this."
"No…don't" Maybeck sighed, "I think this whole thing was an eye opener for both of us. Now I know what's been bugging you, and you know that I feel the same way. But Charlie you have to understand, everybody gets nervous about their wedding day and the life they'll live together, you're not alone."
"I know that now" she smiled and leaned forward with her eyes closed, hoping for forgiveness.
"I love you" Maybeck whispered before grabbing Charlene's face as gently as he could before smashing her lips with his. Charlene, who wasn't expected this reaction, accepted it with great happiness and wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up off the ground. Maybeck pulled away for air and immediately dropped her onto the floor, "will you please marry me Charlie? I'm getting tired of asking these difficult questions" he chuckled, thinking back to the first and second time he asked for her hand in marriage, and when he had asked her out in high school.
"Yes, and this time, I mean it. I love you too" she said, whispering the last part before reaching a close embrace.

"I wonder if Charlene and Maybeck resolved their issues, although, I must say I didn't know they were having problems" Amanda said, receiving a heavy sigh from beside her. "What?"
"Are you going to worry about things back home for the next couple weeks? I should've left you there" Finn teased.
Amanda giggled, "Nooooo…just thinking. It's a long flight, I think of things, is that a crime?"
"Of course not, but ignoring the fact that you're on your honeymoon with your husband…" Finn said, making sure to emphasize husband as for Amanda to get the hint that he really wished she'd calm down.
"Sorry, I'm done" she said, getting a raised eyebrow from Finn, "I promise."
"Good girl," Finn said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Starting the honeymoon early are we?" Amanda joked, but added a wink.
Finn couldn't help but grin like a dork. He suddenly couldn't wait for this plane to land.

"I will say one thing about this pregnancy, I'm tired of being fat" Willa exclaimed from the kitchen while Philby had been lying on the couch.
"I hear ya" Philby said without thinking for a change.
"Excuse me?" Willa said, patiently waiting for Philby to make his redemption speech.
Philby realized what he'd said and smacked his head, preparing himself for another one of Willa's hormonal rants. "I mean, you look lovely dear."
"Nice try babe, it's ok. I'm not going to go all crazy on you, promise" she smiled sweetly, rushing in and granting him with a quick kiss.
"Now I know you truly love me" Philby grinned.
"You mean after all these years you weren't sure? That's unnerving considering I'm pregnant" Willa giggled.
"No, you know what I mean" Philby chuckled, but got a confused look from his wife.
"Actually, I don't. Please enlighten me," she said, crossing her arms.
"You know me so well," Philby started, "So well that you know that the lightest, softest kiss, is all I need to make me feel better. You're carrying our baby, but you take time to comfort me after an awful day."
Willa's face softened dramatically at his short but sweet statement. So much in fact that Philby was waiting for her to cry, but not from her mood swings.
It made him happy to see Willa like this, knowing that he'd said the right thing, and that he'd truly meant every word of it. He treasured moments like this, he lived for them.
Before he was about to get up and wrap her in his arms, he heard a gut-wrenching scream as everything in his head froze so he couldn't think straight. The last thing he remembered seeing was Willa falling to the ground in slow motion as his whole world turned black.
Sooo maybe this ending came up about 2 seconds before actually writing it. I FINALLY updated again! It seems like it's been awhile, I'm sorry if it has been but here ya go! :)
Comment please :) –Amanda D.
