"Ok, first I wanna say something" Shawn says "What you were saying the other month about us being mature adults made me realise I really love you and never want to lose you, we don’t have to do this right away but I want to marry you and spend the rest of our lives together"

Belle opens her eyes
"Where are we Shawn" Belle asks rubbing her eyes
"On our way to Nevada" Shawn says
"What?" Belle asks shocked
"Well, if you want, we can stay there for a couple of days and let our parents cool off" Shawn says
"Thats fine by me" Belle says
"I also had another idea, you know how you wanted to be married before you had kids, well, I was thinking that we could have a small ceremony in a chapel and not tell anyone. So what do you think?" Shawn asks
Belle thinks it over for a moment
"I think it’s a great idea" Belle says softly
Shawn pulls her in closer

"Who has run away?" Alice asks coming over
"Belle and Shawn" Bo says
"Belle and Shawn ran away? Why?" Alice asks
"Belle and Shawn ran away?" Caroline asks coming over with Shawn Sr., Doug & Julie
"Why?" Doug asks
"Thats for them to tell you when hey get back" Hope says
Belle & Shawn walk into the pub
"Speak of the devils" Shawn Sr. says as they all turn around
Marlena and Hope get up and run up to their children and hug them
"Where have you been? We’ve been really worried" Hope says
"Yes we have, there better not be any more surprises" John says
"Surprises?" Julie asks
