Betty and I were at home. She was resting and I had everything planned out.

I was in our yard as dozens of lilies and pink roses were set everywhere. A table and two chairs set up for our food. The candles lit and burning as they all look beautiful and perfect.

I smiled and made I waited for Elizabeth to come down. In a hour I saw her walk out in a beautiful pink gown, I gulped and she saw me and I told her "you're...not wearing black?"

She smiled and explained "they said it was something special...so I thought I may as well look better. Besides...I need to heal."

I smiled and she smiled back as she looked around "what is all of this?"

I smiled and kissed her hand as she laughed and said "lilies and pink roses? Jughead..."

I smirked and brought her over to the table as the men began playing their instruments "a romantic dinner under the stars, just for us."

She laughed and said "how wonderful...oh Jughead it's so perfect."

I smiled and I helped her sit down and I sat beside her and I poured us some wine and she smiled and we drank and I told her "I thought you needed this...you deserve the world my Elizabeth."

I took her hand and kissed her ring and she told me "thank you. It's all amazing..."

I nodded and she announced "now let me eat this food looks delicious."

I laughed and we dug in.

After we finished I asked her "would you like to dance?"

She smiled and nodded as I helped her up from her seat whilst taking her hand, I pulled her away from the table and we began circling one another our hands close to one another.

She smiled and told me "we haven't done a dance...perhaps we shall throw a ball soon? It may cheer me up slightly"

I smiled and told her "splendid idea Elizabeth."

She laughed explained "the reason why these last 7 to 8 months I've been suffering is because...my body was prepared for the child...so every time...I felt everything was so tender...my breasts were full of milk and yet...I had no one to give it too. My heart was full of love but yet drowned in sadness. My senses all felt heightened to any noise because if my baby cried I would run to them..."

I frowned and she muttered "I'm sorry..."

I shook my head telling her "do not be upset at all."

She teared up and I told her "I don't understand what it may feel like, but your pain is validated. I will not disagree."

She smiled and I smiled back and she held my shoulders as I spun her around and she laughed. I dipped her slowly as she blushed and laughed and I kissed her.

I brought her back up as she pulled away smiling and I told her "I love you..."

She looked at me and I gulped "I love you Elizabeth Marie Jones. I....i love you from the heavens and back. I cannot live without I cannot imagine a world where I do not bicker and fall in love all over again."

She stared at me as I told her "I love you."

She just stared at me and I saw her frown turn to a smile. She kissed me as I kissed her back and held her head and pulled away slowly as she muttered "I want to try again..."

I looked at her and she open her eyes and told me "I know you may want to have some alone time...but I truly want to be a mother...I understand if you still need time even I sometimes do not think I am ready, but I believe our son would tell me right now that it is okay. That he will be in our hearts but we deserve the happiness we have wanted."

I smiled and told her "of course, of course we try again."

She squealed and I picked her up as she gasped and I took her to our chambers.

As we both laid naked in our bed and I held her waist as she smiled holding my shoulders as I pulled away and smiled and kissed her again.

She laughed and held me and she asked "to think last year we could barely be in a room with one another..."

I smirked and whispered "and now here you are, in my bed."

She smirked "our bed..."

I nodded and kissed her again as she whispered looking at the door "you know the servants may be listening in..."

I shrugged "and? Allow them to see my beautiful wife's body, your perfect round breasts but most of all. Your beautiful eyes, lips and face entirely."

She laughed and kissed me again and told me "I'm...ready."

I nodded softly and kissed her as she told me "I love you..."

I smiled and told her "and I love you most."
