So this is based on the long term effects of tonight's episode if Jacob was left unable to walk after his legs were trapped.
This is also without Grace, if they had just gone to the accident site together anyway.

4 hours later:
"I'm sorry Jacob but there is a good chance the damage to your spine is permanent. You will be using a wheelchair" Zoe told him.
Connie squeezed his hand with tears in her eyes although he didn't seem to be taking it in.
"Jacob do you understand what I'm saying?" Zoe asked.
"Can you just leave us alone for a bit please? I need to talk to Connie" he said.
"Ok, just give me a shout if you need anything" Zoe said before walking out.
Jacob looked up at Connie, "I understand if you want to leave me, this was never what you wanted from our relationship" he said.
"Jacob, I love you. That's all that matters and I can promise you know there is no way you're getting rid of me, ever. No matter what is thrown our way, I'm yours" Connie replied.

6 weeks later
Jacob wheeled out of their bedroom of their ground floor apartment and towards the bathroom.
"Babe you ok?" he asked.
Connie looked up, pale and sweating from being sick.
"I'm pregnant" she said as the tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Jacob looked at her clearly in shock but still began to smile, "we are having a baby?" he asked.
"Yes, you're happy?" Connie replied as she began to smile too.
"Course I'm happy baby! This is great news!" He grinned.
Connie cried happy tears and lent forward hugging him, "I love you so much" she said.
"I love you so much too" he replied as he placed his hand on her stomach.

11 months later:
Connie woke hearing their little girls cries through the baby monitor.
She looked over to see Jacob and his chair gone then pulled herself up out of bed and walked out along the hall.
She smiled hearing his voice, singing to Amira, then she froze at what she saw.
His wheelchair sat empty outside Amira's nursery and as she stepped inside she burst into tears.
Jacob was taking small steps around the room rocking Amira from side to side.
"You're... Jacob you're walking" Connie cried happily.
Jacob nodded and grinned as tears poured down his cheeks too.

She walked towards him and wrapped her arms around him, sobbing into his chest.
"I'm so so proud of you" she cried.
Jacob smiled and slowly put Amira down as she had drifted off.
"I love you so much Connie Beauchamp" he said.
"I love you so much too Jacob Masters" she replied.
"Connie, marry me" he whispered.
Connie nodded frantically, "of course I'll marry you" she said before kissing him gently.
Jacob smiled and wiped away her tears, "I really couldn't of done this without you" he said.
"Well I'm glad you weren't alone in this. I meant what I said, I'm yours" Connie told him.
Jacob smiled and held her waist as they walked out of the nursery, "do you need your wheelchair to get back to our room?" she asked but he shook his head, "I'll manage, after all, I've got you" he replied.
