~~~~~~~~~Jack's POV~~~~~~~~~~

I was dazed, my eyes were closed I could feel it, but they didn't want to open. They were afraid of what they might see. I calmed myself and forced them open. I saw Raven sitting beside me. We were in a white room with a window behind me and she was sitting in a plastic blue chair. She was reading and looked extremely tired and worn out but still so beautiful. I just wanted to hold her, I wanted to make everything better.

"Raven" I mumbled. But she looked up at me and started crying.

"Jack, Jack, Jack" she called over and over again and then she hugged me.

"Where am I?" I looked around some more and then it made sense.

"The hospital" she smiled weakly.

"I remember how I got here now" I whispered.

"Everything's fine, the doctors say you're gonna be fine" she smiled at me and I stared at her. Her black hair was back to it's mostly natural shade and shined in the sunlight. Her eyes were sparkling and stared at me, I felt warmth in those eyes. I wanted to kiss her, if only I could move my arms.

"Raven, I love you" I whispered.

"Jack I love you and i'll always love you" she kissed me and although I was in pain, she was the only one that could take it all away.

"Go back to sleep" she pulled the blankets up more and tucked them in. I did I fell asleep staring at an angel.

"Great Jack!" Raven exclaimed as I perfected my first steps out of that stupid bed. I walked over to her and smiled. I was in normal clothes, they were going to release me today. I kneeled on one knee and grabbed the box i'd been hiding from her.

"Raven, we started out rough and went through so much, I want to know if you'll be mine to hold and to love forever, Raven Cox will you marry me?" I smiled and opened the box. Raven looked completely dumbstruck but started tearing up. She gently took the ring form the case and slipped it on.

"I will" She kissed me and smiled.

"Nice proposing place romeo" she laughed and kissed me again.

"Do you Raven Cox, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take Jack Parker to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do" I smiled at my beautiful prince charming.

Do you Jack Parker, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning from them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Raven Cox to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I Do" 

"I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss the bride"

Jack kissed me passionately and we walked hand in hand down the white carpet. We were ready to start our next adventure.

Together.
