Mary-Ellen was shocked - and glad - at what he stated. She sat up again and stared into his eyes.

"Crazy Shelly? Is that what you said?"

Slappy nodded and scooted close to her so that his back was gently touching her belly that still claimed the baby. He smiled and kissed the tops of her hands. "Why do you ask, my love?"

She slowly raised an eyebrow. "...why did you call me your love?"

He let out a chuckle. "Is it not obvious? You are carrying my baby. Our child that we somehow made together." He kissed her forehead, and she could not help but blush.

"Slappy..."

"I want to - no, I need to - apologize."

"For what?"

"You were right all along. Shelly does need help. She is an insane person who keeps seeing things from her past and dragging us, including me and you, into her darn messes."

A smile formed on her face. "Apology accepted. I tried to warn you that she was crazy."

"I know. I am such a fool for believing Shelly and not you. Which is why I want to ask you something." He got down on one knee and held up a ring. "Mary-Ellen...my true love...will you marry me?"

Mary-Ellen gasped. He was really doing this? Asking her to marry him?

"Are you...serious?" she asked.

"Of course. This is not even the ring that was on Shelly's finger. I got you a new ring that has a diamond on top."

She examined the ring that he was holding. He was right about that. It was different from the one that Shelly wore.

She was about to accept his offer when she cried out and placed a hand on her stomach.

Slappy became worried and stood up. "Mary-Ellen?"

"Ah...the baby is coming..."
