This is Forever

"I think I'm gonna go to bed. I'm really tired." Ellen explained still holding his hand. Staring into his eyes smiling. 

"Of course. Whatever you need my love." Patrick replied as she walked upstairs. " Actually wait. I need to ask you something first. Before anything else happens." Ellen stops and slowly turns around. She struggles her way back down the steps. "Oh here let me help." Patrick walked over and helped her to the couch.
"Okay. What's up? If it bothers you that you are my emergency contact, I can switch it to Sandra or even Chandra" Ellen states, worried he's bothered by it. 
"No! That's not it at all! I'm glad you trust me enough to put me down. That's not it. Actually, I wanted to ask you again, and I'm not expecting an answer right now, but El, if you want to of course. I would love to make this," making a hand gesture between them "official. Whatever you feel like labeling it." Patrick took a breath. "Ellen Kathleen Pompeo, I love you and I always have. I need you because without you I'm incomplete. I swear I will always be here when you need me to take care of you forever. I promise to love you forever. El, I want to be your boyfriend." 

"Yes" Ellen said in a monotone voice, while shrugging. Patrick was confused.

"Yes?" He repeated her response in shock. "That's not very convincing. Seriously, I'm not trying to pressure you into an answer right now" He says standing up. Ellen takes his hand and pulls him into a kiss. 

"Was that convincing enough?" Ellen said pulling back after a few moments. " Patrick, I said yes and I mean it. I love you too" She chuckled, then clasped her stomach in pain.

Patrick carefully and gently pulled her back into the kiss. He wrapped his right in her messy locks of golden hair, and his left hand rested gently on her waist. He started slow, but she craved more. After a moment, she pulled back leaving Patrick hungry for more. They both let out a breath. "I'm going to make my way to bed now." Ellen chuckled and started upstairs. Patrick followed suit.
