S5E9: The Answer

Picking Up From Last Episode
[Jo's house]
Tucker: Jo, will you marry me?

*It was silent. Jo was... shocked.*

Jo: No.

*He didn't respond. He just stared at her.*

Jo: You can't just do something that makes me mad, and propose to make it up to me. I told you I didn't want to see you.

Tucker: Jo-

Jo: But the fact that you were willing to actually get engaged tonight when I know for a fact you're not ready, means a lot. And... you are forgiven for the other night.

Tucker: I am?

Jo: Yes.

Tucker: That's all I wanted to hear.

*He stood up and they kissed.*

Jo: What would've happened if I said yes?

Tucker: I probably wouldn't be standing here right now.

*She laughed, then he did too.*

Tucker: You're not... ready either, are you?

Jo: Of course not. I'm twenty years old. I've still got a lot of living to do.

Tucker: *smiling* Good.

*They kissed again.*

*When they let go, Jo started thinking. He was trying to read her expression.*

Tucker: Uh-oh. I know that face. It means you have an idea.

Jo: We don't have to get engaged tonight. But we could... move in together.

Tucker: What?

Jo: We could get a whole new place all to ourselves. And wake up next to each other every morning. And we would decorate everything from scratch, and share a bed of course. Ooh, and we would drink coffee together every morning at a dining room table.

*They stared at each other for a second.*

Jo: So, what do you say?

Tucker: I say hell yes.

*They kissed again, this time he spun her around and she laughed. He carried her over to the bed and laid her down.*

Tucker: I've missed you.

Jo: I want you. Right now.

*He smiled and came over her, kissing her more. Their bodies moved together, back and forth. He kissed her neck and she looked up, breathing heavily.*

Tucker: You're so beautiful. You're all mine.

Jo: I'm all yours.

*They kept kissing as they tore each others clothes off.*

The Next Day
[the plaza]
*Nathan was walking with his five month old son, Jamie. Jamie was in a stroller. Hallie walked over to him.*

Hallie: Hey.

Nathan: Oh, hey.

Hallie: So, it's out then. Everyone knows.

*Hallie was referring to the fact that everyone knows Nathan has a son.*

Nathan: Everyone knows.

Hallie: How do you feel?

Nathan: Surprisingly good.

Hallie: Ah, I'm so glad.

Nathan: Yeah. We've bonded so much. When I first found out I had a son, I was extremely scared. And, I still am. But... it's actually so easy.
