Jill

Love the lyrics, absolutely adore the story, but audio.......I'm not so sure about that!

I kind of agree that audio might be a scary thing!!

Joy

She could feel his frantic heartbeat under her palms. He stared at her with such intensity, feeding the raging fire inside her that threatened to consume her entirely. Only then, did she fully understand how close to the edge they were really standing. And it scared her that despite everything she was taught, she wanted nothing more than lose herself in his arms.

“Jack?” her voice quivering as she held his gaze. She loved him with all her heart, and trusted him with her life.

She was staring back at him with so much trust and unrestrained passion, it took his breath away. She was his life. He caught a glimpse of a future without her, and never could he fathom losing her again. The accident had been too real, the call …too close, shaking him to his core.

“I want to take you home, and make love to you, become your husband … your lover …the father of our children”, his unrehearsed words escaping his lips of their own accord.

“Is that a proposition, Jack?” her voice barely above a whisper, almost afraid to ask.

He smiled at her, moving his hand to her face, gently stroking her soft features. It was a proposition, he realised, and it could be taken many different ways, except …only one was worthy of her.

“I wish I could say all my intentions towards you are pure and noble, but that would be lying”, he confessed. “Would you marry me, Sue Thomas, and grant me the privilege to hold you and love you, day and night, until the end of time?”

“Yes”, she murmured without a second thought, wild butterflies soaring in her stomach. Her smile radiated from inside, and he grinned like an idiot at her dazzling beauty. The soft touch of her lips along his collarbone startled him.

“I'm taking you for a ride”, he uttered, before he lost his last strand of restraint …or sanity for that matter.

“Ride?” frowning in confusion, as he left her bed, nervously putting his shirt back on. “Jack?”

Put on your sunglasses, cuz.......

We're Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get marriieed.........


You see......he had the order just a wee bit off in that post...but I'm sure he's going to get it straightened out pronto!!!

Jill

Yes, maybe getting out of the room for a while would be best. Not that I'm against the fuzzies - just seems a hospital is NOT the place to forget where you are! And I'll leave it at that because any thing else I've tried to add sounds baaaaaaad. LOL

And on a different note.....non-musical note...

I love how you wrote:


Beautiful! Simply beautiful!

Jill

A wedding! What a wonderful proposal, not exactly the most romantic location in the world, but a proposal!

I loved Jack's honesty!

The nurse is fantastic too!

Sairs

it sure sounded like one to me

now where is he taking her??? to some kinda chapel near the hospital or is there a priest around there somewhere???

I believe there is a chapel in the hospital! Could he be thinking about taking her there and having the priest marry them???

Joy

*sigh*

That was lovely.

Very realistic, very well-written. I loved it!!

When can she be released from the hospital and get married??

hmmm... well.... I'm not sure about that!


I'll get the tuxedos out, somebody get the dresses. Can anyone play the wedding march, or something that'll pass for it? We have a wedding to put on!

And where might this road trip be taking us to Jack??

I think... Jack thinks that now it's time for chaple...

Can't wait for more!!!!


Restie

PFFFFFT you should hear AH and me sing....we'd make an amazing duo, don't we AH now that is something you've NEVER heard....(and prolly never want to hear either...hehehhe....altho............." you might be amazed of our skills ---> to break the windows or not *grin*)

i think i hear ringing ............i hear the bells .........Hhmm

'I waited for you all my life, Sue', buttoning his shirt. 'I love you too much to wrong you …Valentine Day is perfect …wheelchair …no point into tiring you …the corridor is too long …Jack, get a grip', realising he had a button left but no hole. 'We could also wait …I could court you properly …probably wouldn't work …I can barely keep my hands off you …and one touch from you I catch on fire …that's not even mentioning kissing you …how did we manage to work together …', pacing back and forth in front of the window, tucking his shirt into his pants, under the astounded look of Sue.

She could hear words and read his lips, at least when he was facing her, but couldn't make sense of either. She always thought she was the only one missing out when someone was mumbling. Tonight she stood corrected, smiling at a jittery Jack Hudson. Sitting in bed, she extended her hand and grabbed his arm, stopping him dead in his track.

“I'll be right back, sweetheart”, kissing her nose. “Love you”, before disappearing from the room, letting her wonder who exactly hit its head the previous night.

Moment later he reappeared pushing a wheelchair.

“Your carriage awaits you, milady”, he successfully articulated, lifting her in his arms to gently lower her in the chair.

“Jack, are you all right?” feeling his forehead, worried by his weird behaviour. “Where are you taking me?”

He knelt beside her wheelchair, taking both her hands into his. “So there's no confusion, let's do it again, shall we?” taking a deep breath to calm his rattled nerves. “Would you, Sue Thomas, do me the honour of becoming my wife?” waiting expectantly.

“Yes, Jack, with all my heart”, smiling back at him with sparks shining in her eyes.

“How about tonight?” grinning mischievously.

“Tonight? Like in …”

“Like in tonight, sweetheart”, cupping her head and capturing her lips in a slow and tender kiss. “So?” he inquired after leaving her breathless. She nodded, caught in a whirlwind of emotions. “There's a little chapel on the second floor, maybe the chaplain will be available.”

“How do you know about the chapel?” staring in amazement at him.

“Remember when the nurse sent me home for a shower, after you woke up, so she could take care of you?” Sue nodded. “Well, I saw a sign for the chapel on my way out and stopped by. I had a lot to be thankful last night.” He wiped the tears that were falling down her cheeks. “I love you so much.”

“I hope the chaplain is there, Jack”, smiling tenderly at him.

Jack and Sue reverently entered the little chapel leaving the wheelchair outside. It was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and candles lit all around. An older woman was kneeling on the first row, deep in prayer. Jack and Sue sat together a few rows back. Jack kept her hand into his. Last time he was here Jack thanked God for her life, tonight he also thanked Him for her love.

A young man appeared from a side door, and went to exchange a few words with the older woman, catching Sue's attention.

“He is the chaplain's assistant, Jack”, she murmured to his ear.

Stopping the young man on his way out, Jack learned the chaplain was standing vigil for a dying man.

A little disappointed, Sue asked Jack to take her back …with a small detour by the fourth floor.

WHEW...no confusion there...Sue really wants to marry Jack... LOL ... who wouldn't? if she didn't, I would

no marriage tonight.... *sigh* marriage can wait, as long as they're together

oh oh

Oh, Darn, foiled again!!! Jack is so cute when he's flustered and excited!!!

Joy

I think it was unfair methods of persuasion, Jack ... but Sue loved it, don't worry

No marriage

I hope no baby will disappear ...


Can't wait for more!!!



Restie

What a beautiful chapel.......and I love that he went there to thank God for what He had done.

Now.......call a few friends, get a real wedding organized, and the chaplain should be back, soon. BTW.......nothing says a priest or pastor from a church nearby can't come and do a ceremony in the hospital's chapel!!!! Just have to get a little creative. And no one wants to get married in a nightgown.

No pressure, marlene!

Jill

I've been humming the wedding march all day today and now I know why.

Now would be a good time to get creative, Jack.

Katinka

Mee? Singing?


My daughter seconds that!


I think i'm insulted!


But then she does have a point....


Jack!
AH xxx

“Nice of you to resurface” the nurse welcomed them sarcastically. “Have you been kissing her senselessly or should I assume the reading I'm about to take will be accurate for a change?” eyeing Jack suspiciously.

“Shouldn't you be off duty?” he retorted.

“I wish”, taking Sue's arm. “Fifteen minutes, and counting.”

'Not soon enough', he mouthed for Sue who giggled in response.

“Brother”, exclaimed the nurse. “Could you stay still, Ms Thomas”, frowning at Jack. “What a waste of a good bed!”

'It won't be wasted', he mouthed for Sue's eyes only, her heartbeat surging as she blushed at the allusion.

“Could you stop whatever you're doing, agent Hudson?” only to have Jack shrug innocently. “By the way, visiting hours are over.”

“Thank you. I'm glad to know Sue and I will be able to enjoy some quiet time as soon as you leave this room”, smirking.

“I hope you will be discharged before my next shift”, making a few notations before leaving.

“Please, close the door on your way out”, Jack asked politely, only to be ignored.

“You're terrible, Jack”, Sue chuckled.

“And she is even worse”, shaking his head. “Want me to get you something?”

'You', she signed to him.

“You like to play with fire, Ms Thomas”, heading to the door and closing it completely before turning all the lights off. He would need a cold shower before he cuddled for the night with her.

“Jack?” puzzled by his actions.

He opened the curtains, and the city lights bathed the room in a nice glow. She watched him reach for the box Bobby left under the chair.

“No peeking, please, sweetheart”, turning his back to her so she wouldn't see what he was doing. She complied, intrigued and excited by this latest turn of event.

She heard new sounds and smiled, trying to imagine what they were. She was very tempted to sneak out of bed, but resisted, not wanting to spoil Jack's surprise.

A soft gasp escaped her lips, and tears filled her eyes.

music!! i just know it!!

This is really good can't wait for some more!!!!

I was thinking more along the lines of a wedding dress, but then again - would be too soon for him to have arranged, and he wouldn't have asked Bobby. So I'm with Web on this one: music!

Web, I think you're right - it has to be music!!!

Joy

I'm with Web.. I sure hope that's what it is!!

Valentine's sure brings out the best side of Jack! Loving every bit!

** taps on screen and clears throat **

Umm ... excuse me, Marlo, but I think your computer cut off the rest of that post ....

Methinks that nurse is about to throw Jack out of there by the seat of his pants.

Jack......be polite. It goes a long way.

Cold shower Yep. Sounds like a good plan.

Now......what's the surprise?

Jill

I love the way Jack winds the nurse up! I can't wait to find out what's in the box.

Sairs

I can't believe the nurse didin't go into a hyperventialating when she confronted a shirtless Jack! That is mindboggling!

kav

She's nonhuman!!!!!!

Jack, you are incorrigable!

I think I have to agree with the others...is it music?? maybe with the song they first dance on in cold case?

The melody filled the air.

Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much

“Would you like to dance?” offering her his hand.

He held her close to him, one hand on the small of the back to steady her, the other playing in her hair. Her chin rested against his shoulder, one hand holding on to his back while the other ventured under his shirt. Her body moulded perfectly against his, and they swayed harmoniously under the soft music.

Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

She loved how he hummed the melody to her ear, his cheek brushing lightly against hers.

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

Her mind drifted aimlessly, sensations taking over. The words flew through her, and the music enhanced her senses. She became very much aware of his body moving along hers, or the scent of his cologne.

“Is that our song, Jack?” she murmured huskily.

“I would like the next one to be”, holding her closer as the tempo slightly changed.

Every time our eyes meet,
This feeling inside me,
Is almost more than I can take!
Baby when you touch me,
I can feel how much you love me,
And it just blows me away.

He could feel her legs rubbing against his pants, and her heart beating through her nightie against his bare chest.

I've never been this close to anyone or anything,
I can hear your thoughts; I can see your dreams

“You are the one, Sue, the only one”, he whispered to her ear.

I don't know how you do what you do,
I'm so in love with you,
It just keeps getting better.
I wanna spend the rest of my life,
With you by my side,
Forever and ever,
Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.

He loved how she softly moaned in his arms.

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

His mouth traveled along her hairline, stopping near her ear, gently nibbling on her lobe. He tightened his embrace when he felt her shiver in his arms. The words reached him, mirror of his emotions.

Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me

She could dance all night in his arms, finally understanding the mystic connection between the sounds and his touches. She was lost in a world a sensation she never dreamed of or experienced.

I know just when to face the truth,
and then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you,
and I know just what to prove;
I know when to pull you closer,
and I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading,
and I know that time's gonna fly;
and I'm never gonna tell you everything
I've got to tell you,
but I know I've got to give it a try.

He couldn't remember ever really listening to lyrics until tonight.

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
are streaming through the waves in your hair;
and every star in the sky is taking aim
at your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
and it's looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
and turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I've got to follow it, 'cause everything I know, well it's nothing till I give it to you.

He sought her lips, and she granted him access. She shared his gentle exploration. Their hands roamed under the rhythm of the music.

I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all your demons be gone.

But I'm never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all.

Desire slowly soared, enveloping them.

You know you can't fool me
I've been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on

Lost In Love and I don't know much
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I'm back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted

He wanted to stay lost in her arms forever.

“One more song”, she murmured when he led her to the bed. “Please?” trailing kisses along his collarbone. He indulged her, a smile crossing his lips as the melody changed. Not quite a love song, but where he wanted to take her.

Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I need a dance partner too ... cuz this makes me wanna dance

OR

I will start singing again, because now I have that song of country roads in my head AGAIN

me too can't wait for more and jack she is the one

Marlo, I love your choice of songs - it brings back memories!!

I love the fact that Sue got to hear music and dance with Jack while listening!! Hearing the music while dancing is a whole other matter than what's she's used to!! What a wonderful memory!!!

Joy
