"Jack can you go this time, I'm so tired"

"Ok babe. Anything for you"

Since Sarah Joanna Lawson & Nathan Jack Lawson were born there had been

endless sleepless nights between both Jack and Jo.

The pair were too tired to do anything but sleep.

Although having their own bundles of joy was priceless.

Jack finally got up the energy to get out of bed and tend to one of the

twins. Slowly Jack walked over to their cots to see that Sarah was screaming

her lungs out.

Jack reached the cot only to find that Sarah's screaming had woken Nathan

too. Jack gently picked them both up and carried them back to Jo and his

bed.

"This little rascal woke brother. Didn't you Sarah?" Jack said tickling

Sarah after handing Nathan to Jo.

Sarah giggled loudly at her father before Jack put her down and she lay on

her back on the bed.

"They grow up fast don't they?" Jo said watching Sarah reach up to her and

Nathan. Jo put Nathan on the bed next to Sarah and reached her arm around to

Jack. "I love you Jack and I love the little rascals we have managed to

make, they obviously take after their father, but I don't love the sleepless

nights," Jo said sleepily.

Jack took a swipe at her head but Jo ducked out of it.

"I know what you mean," Jack said. "Look, they've fallen asleep."

Jack and Jo each picked up one of the twins and carried them back to their

cot and put them down. They stood arms around each other watching their

'angels' sleep. They walked slowly back to bed and fell asleep.

The next morning the sleepy couple wake to a beautiful Spring day in Mt

Thomas and decide to take the twins out to the park for a walk and to get

out of the house. They had eaten breakfast and fed the twins and were

getting ready to go.

"Do you want to get Nathan ready and I'll get Sarah," Jo said

"OK."

Once the twins were dressed and in their prams the 'family' were ready to

go.

"I've got an idea. Why don't we go down to the lake in the park," Jack

suggested

"Good idea we'd better get going then." They walked slowly down to the lake.

Once they reached the lake they let the twins lay on the picnic rug while

they sat and talked

"Jo? Have you ever thought of getting married?" Jack asked

Jo's head snapped up then relaxed.

"Jack there is only one person I've thought about in that way and it's you,"

Jo said smiling and kissed Jack to make her point.

Later that day Jack and Jo walked hand in hand while pushing the prams back

to their house. By the time they arrived home the children were asleep and

it was time to go to the pub. Jo left the twins in the pram and went and got

changed into some other clothes while Jack refilled the baby bag with the

essentials.

"Here come the happy family" PJ announced

"Gee you're a bit late aren't you?" Tess questioned.

"It is what you call feeding time. And when feeding time is around it's a

worry and painful" Jo answered

"Don't worry its worse when they start teething" Jack said.

"Ok who wants a drink?" Asked Ben

"The usuals thanks Chris" Ben said as he walked to the bar.

A couple of hours later after many glasses of beer and o/j Jack and Jo

decieded it was time to go home.

"See you all tomorrow" Jack announced. "We have to put the twins to bed"

Jack and Jo arrived home with two sleeping children in their prams.

"We better get these two to bed," Jo said quietly

"MMMMM," Jack replied.

Once the twins were asleep Jack and Jo sat down in front of the TV each with

a cup of coffee in their hands.

"Jo?" Jack asked cautiously

"Yeah?"

"You never *really* gave me an answer this morning," Jack looked Jo straight

in the eye.

"Do you really need one?" Jo asked before leaning in and kissing him softly.

"Not if that's a yes," Jack said slyly

"You have a one track mind Stretch! And yes," Jo said.

Jack picked her up and spun her around and around taking joy in her screams

for him to put her down. When Jack finally put her down both were

breathless.

"Shhhhhhhhh! You'll wake the twins," Jack panted quietly.

Neither could catch their breath for some reason.

"Kiss me," Jo said seductively.

Jack gently took her hands in his and kissed her gently on the forehead

teasing her. He pulled away before turning and walking away from her. Jo

caught up to him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jo asked.

"Guess.' He kept walking by now Jo had worked out where he was headed. She

ran to the doorway of their bedroom ad stood in the door knowing full well

it wouldn't take long for Jack to move her. Blocking the doorway with her

body Jo looked up to her boyfriend towering above her and bit her lip. Jack

lent down and picked her up and carried her into their bedroom and laying

her down on the bed.

"I love you Jo," Jack whispered

"Love you back. Now kiss me!" Jo said, a gentle, loving smile playing her

face.

<God she looks so beautiful> Jack thought before kissing her through the

night.

When the sleepy couple woke the next morning to a sunny Mt. Thomas day they

knew what they were going to do. Go shopping for an engagement ring for Jo.

Saint David's shopping centre

"Oh Jack it's gorgeous! I don't know how you could afford it!" Jo exclaimed

looking at her hand as they left the jewelry shop.

"You're gorgeous. No comparison," Jack said softly

"Thanks," Jo said and kissed him gently. "Can we go to the station and tell

the others?"

"Sure thing."

With that the family walked off to the car, heading to the station.

At the station

Jo and Jack walked in hand in and while carrying the twins.

"Guess what everybody" Jack said

"Oh you didn't" Tess glanced at Jo's smile and the ring on her finger

"Yep we did. Jack proposed to me" Jo said with the largest smile on her

face.

"Congratulations Jacko" Ben said while patting Jack on the back

"Thanks mate" Jack said back

"So when's the big day?"

"Boss...We were coming into tell you but..."

"But what Parrish.......Congratulations you two. You finally got together"

"Thanks Boss" Jack said and slowly kissed Jo infront of everybody.

"Jack" Jo whispered "Not here"

"Yes Lawson not here"

"Oh come on Boss we were getting some entertainment" Ben whined.

"Well we better get going. We'll see you later" Jo said and walked out with

Jack and the twins.
