"What! Are you serious? Can you move them?" Erin questioned.

"Yeah, for real. I can't necessarily move them, but I can definitely feel them." Jay responded.

"That's so great!" Will cheered. "Well, I best be on my way, I'll talk to you guys later?"

"Yeah, talk to ya later." Jay replied.

Will left and Erin turned toward Jay.

"Can you feel this?" Erin put her hand on his thigh.

"Mhmm," he murmured.

"How 'bout this?" Erin moved her hand up his thigh. Jay nodded.

Jay pulled Erin into a kiss and leaned back onto his back.

At that second, Will walked back in.

"I forgot my... OH MY!" Will turned away. "I came back for my keys, but uh... I'm just gonna grab these and go..." Will reached for his keys.

As Will left, Erin fell onto Jay's chest, she burst into laughter. "Well, that's awkward." Erin smiled.

"Yup. That's very awkward." Jay laughed, "where were we?"

"I think, we were right about here," Erin stated, kissing him.

Jay pushed her away for a moment, "are you happy?"

"Of course, why do you ask?"

"I just don't see how you could be happy with a partially crippled guy," Jay stated.

"Because I love you, ya big dummy," Erin laughed. "No seriously, I love you for you, not because you're able to walk or run next to me, or even carry me... I love you because you make me laugh, smile... you make me happy, Jay. Without you, I'd be unhappy."

"I love you so much, Erin, there's no words to describe." Jay kissed her.

"Hang on, are you happy? I mean besides being partially paralyzed..." Erin questioned.

"Now that I know I still make you happy, and even that I'm still here with you, kissing you, loving you, of course I'm happy." Jay informed.

"You're just saying that..." Erin stood.

"What! No, I do! The minute I said I do months ago, I was saying I love you, the minute I said I do, seconds ago, I was saying I love. Because, it's true." Jay exclaimed. Jay lifted himself into his wheelchair.

"Do you wanna go out for lunch? We haven't done that in a while..." Erin stated.

"Actually, no. I want to go to the station, if you don't mind."Jay started.

"I don't mind. I'm sure they'd love our visit!" Erin replied.

They headed to the station, but on the way, Jay and Erin got into an argument.

"I'm not turning around! You said you wanted to go! You can't change your mind, we're almost there." Erin argued.

"Fine, pull over... Let me out!" Jay ordered.

"What and let you wheel yourself back home... you could barely get out of the car if I didn't help you." Erin countered.

"You know what..." Jay started. Erin pulled over. They sat there for a moment in silence.

But all of a sudden, Jay and Erin both looked at each other and smiled.
