"Rachael? Honey I've got good news!" Jeff shut the door behind him and put his bag on the couch. No reply came from the apartment, "Honey?"

Rachael appeared out of their room, a big smile spread across her face, "Guess what?"

"Looks like you've got good news too," he grinned and pulled her in for a short kiss.

She hugged him, "Yeah. It's totally awesome! We're moving to LA!"

Jeff broke the hug quickly and stared at her as if she had just grown an extra head, "W-What?"

"I got a part in a new upcoming movie with Angelina Jolie, ANGELINA JOLIE JEFF!" she screamed in excitement, but Jeff obviously wasn't too happy and she noticed it, quickly dropping her smile, "What's wrong?"

Jeff looked down at his feet, "I'm moving back to New York... I thought we could have gone together... But it..."

"Why New York?"

He took a deep breath before answering her, "I get to be on Broadway."

"Honey that's amazing!" she forced a smile, "We can move there together."

"Rach you can't give up your dreams for me..."

She answered quickly, "Yes I can! We're getting married in four months and I am not doing long distance before our wedding!"

Jeff ran his hand through his messy bush of hair, "I don't know... You're getting your big break! You're working with one of the most famous actresses in America! If anyone has to give up their dream, it's me. We can move to LA together, get married there, start a family..."

"No way in hell I'm letting you move to LA with me!"

"How long will it take?"

Rachael's voice dropped to a whisper, "Seven months..."

"SEVEN?!"

She nodded shyly, and he continued, "We're getting married in four!"

"There're four options for us: I move to New York, we break up, postpone the wedding or stay in Chicago together," she finally said.

Jeff added, "Five options, I can move to LA."

"That's out of the question."

There was an awkward silence for a while, then Jeff finally broke it, "I'm not breaking up with you, not when we've worked so hard to get our happy ending."

"Since none of us are backing off," she continued, "We can't move to LA or New York."

"So we either postpone the wedding or stay in Chicago..."

"I choose postponing the wedding," she finally looked up into his electric blue eyes, there was a whole lot of misery in there, she noticed.

Jeff nodded, "We can't just stay in Chicago, not when we finally get our big break..."

"Agreed."

Rachael sighed and walked out of her trailer, being on set wasn't easy. She was constantly told to get coffee and such when she didn't have to act, and the only time she could be truly happy was when she joined livestreams with the team or just Skyped Jeff, she would cry, laugh and make jokes with him over the phone, but not seeing him for three months isn't easy.

"Soglin! Would you please go for a coffee run please?" the director asked, not even looking at her and handing her a piece of paper with all the orders on it just as she walked offset. She missed it when Julia or Nick or Matt or anyone else was the director.

"Sure," she mumbled, grabbing the piece of paper and heading towards the cafeteria.

Just as she took the two trays and was heading back to the set, a familiar voice sounded behind her.

"Is this what we postponed our wedding for?"

She whipped her head around, and almost collapsed in tears of joy to see the love of her life standing right in front of her. Jeff swiftly took one of the trays from her hand and pulled her into a kiss.

"You're here!" she uttered, "You came!"

He leaned down and kissed her softly, "I sure did."

"But... What about Broadway?"

He sighed and looked into her eyes, "I couldn't live without you by my side, you reminded me how theater will never be the same without to come home and see you everyday. So I quit, and I will be here in LA as long as you are here too. But it seems like you aren't exactly living your dream life..."

"Nope, I'm more of an assistant than an actress. I just can't wait to go home, do more stupid parody shows and get married and start a family..."

"Then do it," he said firmly, "Quit and come home with me if you don't feel like staying here."

It took a while, but she agreed.

Rachael went back to set, and sassily told the director she was quitting. She quickly packed up her stuff and walked out of her trailer, hand in hand with Jeff.

They were going home.
