Jack smiled and pulled the ring out of the box. He slowly slid it onto Elizabeth's finger and stood up. They both kissed passionately because they finally had each other. Soon they would be Mr. and Mrs. Thornton. The couple pulled back eventually and Jack gazed into Elizabeth's eyes, "I love you Elizabeth."

"I love you too Jack," she smiled, "So what do you say? Shall we give my sister her fairy tale ending?"

Jack chuckled and nodded, "Of course." The newly engaged couple made their way over to where the Thatchers were staying in the guest house and Jack knocked on the door. Kate opened it and smiled at the sight of her daughter and Jack.

"Come in you two, we were just enjoying some tea." Jack and Elizabeth walked in to find William, Julie, and Abigail all sitting at the table. William smiled at the young couple because he could already tell what their news was going to be.

"Mommy, Daddy, Jack and I have some big news," Elizabeth said softly. William and Abigail smiled because they already knew the news. Elizabeth nodded towards Jack.

Jack took a deep breath and spoke, "We're engaged."

Kate got teary eyed though you could clearly see she was pleased; Julie on the other hand was going to make sure the whole town knew, "OH MY GOODNESS! MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED! TO A HANDSOME MOUNTIE YET!" she squealed happily running over to hug Elizabeth.

"Yes, and now that all of Coal Valley knows…" scolded Elizabeth lightly.

Julie shrugged, "Well it is a small town. People will eventually find out."

Jack chuckled and looked at Elizabeth, "She's got a point. I'm sure your students won't fail to notice the piece of jewelry residing on your left ring finger now."

"Speaking of which let's see it!" said Julie happily.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes slightly but heled up her hand.

"Awe Lizzie it's beautiful," said Kate, "I'm so happy for you. Both of you," she said embracing Elizabeth and then Jack.

"Thank you Mrs. Thatcher," said Jack.

"Oh please call me Kate, Constable," she said.

Jack nodded, "Okay then. And Kate, please call me Jack." Jack and Elizabeth enjoyed their tea with Abigail and the Thatchers before they decided to take a walk in private.

Elizabeth looked up into the sky and said, "Stars are beautiful aren't they?"

Jack looked over at Elizabeth and said, "Nothing is more beautiful than you, my sweet Elizabeth."

"Awe Jack," she said kissing him, "That's so sweet and so not true."

"You calling me a liar?" he asked playfully raising eyebrows.

Elizabeth giggled, "No not a liar, a fibber."

"That's the same thing," Jack chuckled.

"Nope," laughed Elizabeth shaking her head and then looked up into the sky, "Oh my goodness."

"What?" asked Jack following her gaze.

"It's a shooting star," said Elizabeth,

"Well then, we both have to make a wish then don't we?" asked Jack.

"Yes. I wish…"

"Ssh," said Jack quieting Elizabeth, "You can't reveal your wish or it won't come true." Jack walked Elizabeth home and then Elizabeth went to sleep, hoping her wish for good dream came true.

The next day everyone went about their business as per usual: the Thatchers went back home to Toronto, Abigail ran the café, Bill and Jack continued their investigation, and Elizabeth continued with her lesson plan on butterflies.

"Boys and girls, I would like you to draw the life cycle of a butterfly, from how it starts out as a caterpillar and through to how it turns into a beautiful butterfly. After that you are dismissed," said Elizabeth. Jack entered the room, much to the happiness.

"Good afternoon Mountie Jack," they said.

"Afternoon everyone," he greeted.

"Are you stopping by to say hello to Ms. Thatcher?" asked Gabe.

"Actually Gabe, I asked Mountie Jack to stop by today," said Elizabeth walking towards Jack and then walking to the front of the room with him, "We have some big news and we both wanted to tell you all together." Jack smiled and squeezed Elizabeth's hand, "Mountie Jack and I are getting married!"

"Really?" asked Cassandra excitedly.

Elizabeth nodded holding up her hand to prove it. All of the children ran towards their teacher to see the ring and give her a hug of congratulations.

Rosaleen walked over to Jack and said, "Mountie Jack?"

Jack looked down and got down to her level, "Yes Rosaleen?"

"Was it easy to ask her?" asked Rosaleen curiously.

Jack chuckled and took Rosaleen's hand, "Yes Rosaleen. It was everything we both dreamed it would be."

Sorry for the extremely long wait #Hearties. College is in full swing and I barely have time to get everything for college done let alone my stories. Please enjoy and review.
