Hospital:

Molly woke up in a hospital bed. She was hooked to a monitor, oxygen tank and an IV.

  "Where's the twins?" She asked weakly

  Peter moved to her side.

  "Pepper has them." He assured her "They're fine."

  "What happened?"

"You collapsed. Blood clots." He said

She took a deep breath. She wanted to leave. Wanted her babies.

"They're gonna keep you overnight." He said "as a precaution."

She nodded. He smiled weakly, taking her hand.

  "I uh-" he paused "I wanted to ask this earlier but things happened so fast I couldn't."

He fumbled with a box.

  "Peter..."

"Marry me?" He asked, showing her the diamond ring "I want to build a life with you. Have more kids. Grow old. Have a lot of fun in between."

   "Yes." She said "on one condition."

  "What."

"You never drop a building on yourself again."

He laughed.

"Deal."

He kissed her gently. She smiled. He tasted of coffee and chocolate.

  "I love you." He said, slipping the ring on her finger.

"I love you too. "

He laughed again.

  "This is the worst proposal ever." He said

"I know." She replied "But it suits us."
