Later, Slappy and Shelly were back at the park. They took a stroll down a narrow path and hugged on each other.

"I am really sorry about this mess," Slappy apologized. "I never thought that Mary-Ellen - my gosh, an ugly doll - would be carrying my kid." Shelly patted his back. "I did not even touch her. I swear!"

Shelly nodded. "I believe you," she said.

He was surprised by that. "You...you do?"

"Of course." She stopped in her tracks and forced him to do the same. She took his hands into hers. "You have changed so much. From the moment that we met to now. You were evil. So evil. But you soon changed your ways."

He slightly smiled and rested his nose against hers. "That was because of you. Your kindness. Your grace. What you represented. You were - and still are - the only one who gave and keeps giving me the chance. You understood me. You still do."

She smiled. "And I know that you would never lie to me. It would break your heart if you did."

"Yes. It would." He shoved a hand in his jacket pocket. "I have been thinking."

"About what?"

"I really want to be a father."

"But you will be."

"Yes. But with Mary-Ellen's baby. I want to be the father of your baby some day."

Shelly blushed. "W-what?"

Slappy got down on one knee and pulled out a ring from his jacket pocket. He held up the ring to her. "Shelly Madison...will you marry me?"
