"Ella!" I screamed running forward hearing a splash Sawyer appears next to me

"The police should be here any second" Sawyer said as I kick my shoes off.

With out thinking I jump off the side of the cliff hearing Sawyer shouting at me.

I hit the water and I come up for air looking around for any sign of Ella
"Ella!" I screamed out looking around

I dive down swimming around looking for Ella, I come up for air screaming again seeing Sawyer was now standing on the edge of the lake screaming for Ella.

I dive back down this time going deeper I then see Ella I swim grabbing her pulling her up to the surface.
I check to see if she was breathing and she wasn't.
I start mouth to mouth while I was in the water and she quickly comes round coughing.
I swim over to the shoreline and Sawyer runs over picking a crying Ella out of my arms.

I turn around going for Toni "where you going?!" Sawyer shouts grabbing my arm.
"I can't leave her" I said diving back under the water swimming underneath looking around for Toni.

I come up for air looking around for any sign of Toni hearing sirens approaching, I dive back down looking around again swimming deeper and deeper and I then see Toni.

I swim over grabbing her swimming to the surface, I hit the surface gasping for  air before swimming over to Sawyer on the shoreline seeing police and paramedics with him.

Paramedics and police run in the water helping me with Toni.
"How long was she under?" The paramedic asked me
"I'm not sure five seven minutes I'm not sure" I said as they put her on the floor starting cpr on her.

I turn around seeing Andy holding Ella I run over grabbing them both in a hug crying.
"Your supposed to be in hospital" Andy said squeezing me tight.

"Yeah but if I had been you still be in the police station" I reminded him.

Andrew pulls away looking at me "yeah I let you off" he grins.

We arrive at the hospital where Ella and I get checked over, thankfully Ella was fine and I still had concussion.

Andy and Ella come back from the hospital shop and Ella jumps up on the bed "mommy?" Ella said looking at me

"Yeah baby what is it?" I asked her

"I love you" she said clinging onto me

"I love you too" I said kissing her head.

"You saved me" she said pulling away from me picking up a crayon drawing on the paper

"Course I did baby. That's what mommy's do. And I'd do it all again tomorrow if I had too"

"Mommy is kind of awesome she saved both our asses today" Andy said standing up.

"Shall I do it daddy?" Ella asked him looking at Andy.

"Yeah good as time as any" Andy said standing there nodding.

Ella turns and looks at me kneeling on the bed putting her hand in her pocket
"Will you marry daddy?" She asked me pulling out a plastic pink child's ring.

I look at it smiling laughing slightly "this a joke?" I asked looking at Andy he shakes his head picking Ella up putting her on the chair so he can sit on the bed.

"No" he shakes his head at me "this isn't how I ever planned on proposing to you. Firstly we're in a hospital, I nearly got charged for kidnapping my own daughter and you both nearly died today. And Im still covered in walker guts dirty as hell dressed like Rick grimes. But right this second I don't care because I'm in love with you, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. These past few months with you and Ella has been the best few months of my life. So yes I'm asking you to be my wife."

I look at Andrew before looking away from him to Ella who was watching us intently "I love you both so much." I smiled.

"Is that a yes?" Andy asked me "because normally when someone gets proposed to they answer with a yes or no"

"Cause it's a yes" I said leaning in hugging him.

"Put the ring on her daddy" Ella said handing it to him.

"Ella chose this ring in the hospital shop" Andy explained taking my hand

"It's a ring for a princess mommy" Ella said Watching Andy put it on my finger but it only went halfway
"I will buy you a real ring tomorrow"'Andy said chuckling

I look at the ring smiling at it "it's perfect" I said leaning in kissing him "but we have one problem. Your divorce and Toni"
