" You are gorgeous, Alaska, how could I not stare at you? If I could be graced by your very presence for the rest of my life I would and forever from that day after, I could forever stare upon your beauty my love. " He said as if he were reciting poetry.

" Yeah and it is high in calories too. "

Alaska rolled her eyes and pushed him playfully. "You're so sappy. And I wish I could say the same about you, but I can't," she said, joking.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Victor just smiled at her " Oh well that's okay, I don't mind.. " He then looked worried again as he started to think. " Alaska, I was thinking... You didn't- there wasn't anyone else while you were away right? "

" It is a very good think in times like these '

"Uh...yeah. There was. It was him. The Freak. He...he******d me while I was in the apartment." She bit her lip nervously

"True, true."

Victor paused and pulled her into a tight hug, " I am so sorry.. " He said weakly, holding her tight with his one good arm. " I am so, so sorry, I am here for you now... it won't happen again.. " He said kissing her cheek gently. " I.. I am sorry to ask but.. his words hurt me a little.. did you find out before or after? I.. I don't care either way I am raising this child with you and even if it isn't mine I will treat it as my own, but I want to know. "


Rose took another very small piece " If only we could get the electric working.. "

"It's yours," she said without any hesitation. "I found out the day I left, but I kept denying it. I didn't want it to be true, not because I don't like or want children," she said, swallowing hard. "I'm scared of the pain. What if...what if I die in childbirth? What if the child dies? What if we both die?" She muttered into his chest.

"Well if the doggone zombies wouldn't chew through the wires, we might be able to have electricity

Victor smiled at her words, a small sigh of relief escaping his lungs. He held her more gently now, not wanting to her hurt or there child. " I know it is probably scary, but I know you will both be fine, I promise. I will be there for you the entire time. I have a very strong feeling you both will be okay.. " He murmured to her, his voice comforting like a warm fire. He kissed her forehead before moving to her lips, then her shoulder, and then he moved back slightly and bent to one knee, kissing her stomach. " Our little one and you will be okay.. "

" I hate them all, I really do. I wish this whole mess never ever happened. "

( Debates having Victor propose )

(A mini wedding!)

Alaska smiled, a slight glow coming to her cheeks. She was blushing slightly, and her stomach was slightly bigger than it was before she left, a few days ago. She put a hand on his head, the other scratching his back. "You're gonna be such a good dad, ya know that?" She asked, speaking gently

"Yeah, me too."

( yeees )

" I hope so, I hope that I am a good dad... better then that man could ever be if he tried. " He said, an equally gentle tone to his voice. After a few moments of deep thought he moved back a bit, still on one knee and now looking up at her. " Alaska.. " He sounded serious now, very serious. " I know in this world I can't promise you something big, fancy, expensive, or really much at all but.. " With his one good hand he reached for his pocket, retrieving from it the thing he had lost and that Maria pasted to him moments earlier. It was a small, black box. He flipped it open with his thumb and said his eyes shining with love, " Alaska.. I love you more then anything I have before, more then anything... I want... " Pausing he took a deep breath. " Marry me, Alaska. " He said finally.


" I wonder what even caused it.. "

Alaska was about to say no because she thought it would have been funny, but then she saw the look in Victor's eyes. She rolled her eyes again. "It's not fair. You always seem to be the one that makes me cry. I think it's my turn." She pulled him up off his knees and kissed him roughly. "Does that answer your question? And if that didn't, then this should." She took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. "I don't have a ring for you...oh wait, I do!" She bounded to her dorm, rummaged around in her backpack and found a beat up rag. She made sure that the ring was still inside and went back out to Victor and she got down on one knee. "How about...you marry me?" She held out the rag to him

Maveric shrugged. "No idea. Wish I knew, though."
