"Ouch. Zac. Zac. My hair's caught. Babe wake up." Jessy cried out. "What? Jessy hold still baby. I'm sorry. Let me take off my watch then I'll get it out." Zac said unbuckling his watch, then turning on the light. "Zac don't feel so bad. I'm the one who fell asleep hun." Jessy shared untangling his watch before unbuttoning her blouse. "I must have really been tired, I fell asleep with my clothes on and I'm in bed with you. Zac promise me will never get this way, so used to each other we forget to love each other." Jessy pleaded unbuttoning his shirt, kissing his chest then pushing the shirt over his shoulders and down his arms as Zac unzipped and unbuttoned her jeans, sliding them off her hips as their lips met. "I'll always love you Zac." Jessy declared pushing him back on the bed, kissing him passionately. The undressed each other before laying in each other's arms, "Zac?" Jessy asked. "Yeah babe, what you need?" Zac asked. "To know how you feel? Um. Zac you still want to marry me right?" Jessy whispered. "What? Jessy how can you ask that? Of course I want to marry you, more than ever before babe. Don't you know that?" Zac asked searching her eyes for her answer. "Yeah I guess. I don't know. I'm so confused Zac. No not confused, I'm scared Zac. I'm afraid you'll never forgive me, you'll always treat me like I'll up and leave you again. Like I did it to you not for me." Jessy shared. "How can you say that?" Zac asked. "Easy Zac, that's how I feel. I think I've apologized everyday since we got back together and I still feel like I should apologize." Jessy shared. "What? I don't understand. Jessy how can you say that. I know you left for you, I do. You felt betrayed by all of us. Who wouldn't leave? Jessy don't feel that way babe. There's nothing to forgive, why should I forgive you?" Zac asked. "Because I hurt you Zac." Jessy answered. "Yeah but I hurt you, when I didn't stand up for you. I knew I loved you forever, that our lives would always be together babe and I still did what was expected of me by everyone but you." Zac explained unable to look at her. "Zac Hanson how can you not look at me?" Jessy asked insulted. "Because I'm ashamed Jessy. I'm still hurting you. As much as I love you all I seem to do is hurt you. Maybe..." Zac suddenly was quiet. "Maybe what? Zac talk to me. Maybe what?" Jessy asked as Zac rose and pulled on his boxers. "Zac?" Jessy asked as he headed out the door. Jessy waited, worried and waited more, finally getting up, dressing and heading out. "Zac" Jessy called rapping on the door, adding, "Hun are you okay? Zac? Please talk to me." After a few more tries Jessy gave up first returning to their room but deciding to get something to drink and heading downstairs. "Jessy listen, I, Jessy?" Zac asked entering their room and immediately panicked. "Get a grip, she loves you and wouldn't leave you." Zac mumbled. "No but she might go get us something to drink." Jessy whispered handing him a juice. "Jessy I forgive you even though I don't think you did anything wrong. Honest babe, I never blamed you. Jessy I know you love me and didn't take off to leave me or hurt me, you left to save you." Zac insisted hugging her tight. "Honest Zac you understand. I didn't mean for you to be hurt, I didn't know what else to do. You wouldn't talk to me Zac, I didn't know what to do. Just like now, you wouldn't talk to me Zac. Why?" Jessy asked. "Jessy I just didn't want to say the wrong thing, I wasn't sure how I felt and I didn't want to worry you while I tried to sort it out is all babe. I wasn't turning away from you." Zac confessed. "That's what it felt like Zac. You turned away from me, wouldn't share, wouldn't talk. I couldn't understand if you loved me, why you wouldn't talk to me." Jessy shared walking away, gazing out the window. "No Jessy, I love you don't ever doubt that. I will always love you." Zac admitted wrapping his arms around her. "I know Zac and I love you. Why does it have to be so hard?" Jessy asked. "Because you're worth it. I was going to tell you what I was feeling, maybe you'e be better off without me, all I do is hurt you." Zac said as Jessy gasped, before finishing, "Babe it would have been hurtful had I said it then because I hadn't worked through it. I hadn't thought back to what my life was without you. The minute I had, I knew I do anything to make you happy, make you love me." Zac confessed. "You don't have to make me love you Zac. I have, I do and I always will love you and only you. Zac I want to marry you still. I don't care where, it doesn't matter to me as long as I can marry you." Jessy pleaded. "I can't wait until you're my wife either Jessy. Maybe I should talk to Ken and see if everything is still ordered, it may be easier to go ahead and get married at home." Zac suggested. "Maybe. I don't care, Justice of the Peace, Las Vegas, any place is fine as long as I get to be Mrs. Zachary Walker Hanson and soon." Jessy insisted. "Anxious babe?" Zac teased. "Um have you forgotten, I stay a virgin until I marry you. Damn right I'm anxious." Jessy teased turning to face him. "And this is all, your, fault." Jessy said pushing him backwards onto the bed before climbing on top of him. "You're right babe and I plan on definitely doing something about changing that fact soon." Zac promised. "Oh right. And what do you plan on doing about it?" Jessy said pinning him down. "Well after I decided Maybe you'd be better off without me was stupid, when you knocked on the door, I was trying to think through meeting Ken and me accepting his apology. You know if I can do that then we'll be married in about six weeks. That's not very long babe." Zac explained. "Zac that would be wonderful, but promise me Zac, I know you love me and would probably do anything for me but Zac you have to promise me that you'll always do what's best for you first. Zac, I'd understand if you couldn't forgive Daddy, I really would." Jessy insisted. "I know babe that's why I didn't answer right away, I was weighing my options before I shared with you because you're right I'd do anything for you. Jessy marry me, in the folks backyard like we'd planned. Let's put this behind us and go on with our life." Zac asked. "Yes. Zac that's all I want, to marry you." Jessy gasped collapsing to his chest as the tears started to fall. "Babe don't cry. I love you and can't wait until you're my wife." Zac shared comforting her. "I know Zac. I'm just so happy to hear it is all." Jessy said hugging him tight before crawling back in bed, turning off the light and heading back to sleep. Early the next morning, Zac was up, dressed and headed out to do what he had said he would do, talk to Ken. "Momma you up." Zac alled out as he opened the patio door and walked in. "Zac? Thank God! Where is she?" Barbie asked. "It's just me Momma, she's still asleep. I was wondering, I mean I came to talk to Ken for Jessy's sake." Zac answered. "You really love her don't you?" Barbie asked. "She's my whole life Momma and I want to marry her." Zac admitted. "Well let's go wake him up. How dare he sleep when I can't anyway." Barbie said rubbing her belly. Zac and Ken discussed everything and came to an understanding and the wedding was back on. "Grampa it's Zac. Is Jessy up yet?" Zac asked. "No son. Haven't heard anthing from upstairs since you left boy." Grampa answered. "Grampa tell her I'm at Mom and Dad's to say hello, pick up Zoe and I'll be back." Zac asked. "You're bringing me Zoe, how wonderful." Grampa declared. "Well I was bringing her home to see Jessy but I think she'll probably enjoy seeing her PaPa." Zac said. While picking up Zoe, he headed up to let Taylor know the wedding was back on. "That's great! I was getting worried Chele was thinking of putting it off because it might upset Jessy." Taylor shared, adding, "I'm heading next door to let Chele know." Zac was soon on his way back to Jessy to let her know what he'd done.
