ALL THE WAY

Cherokee leaned back in her seat, loving the luxury of first class. "Okay Zackie, give it up. I want to know why we're on a plane to Australia in the middle of the night and why you felt it necessary that we jump off and get married. You pregnant or something?"

Zack choked on the champagne the flight attendant had just handed him, "Dammit Cher can you at least wait until we're alone before talking about our private life."

"What's private Zack? You made this big production of proposing in front of my father and his friends, flashing this incredibly beautiful ring," Cherokee held her hand up and looked at her ring for the umpteenth time, "and then you insisted on getting married and leaving for our honeymoon right away. To Australia of all places. Why Australia?

"Look I got tired of getting the fucking milk for free ok?" When she glared at him, "Every time I got around Big Jim, he'd make a crack about why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free and then he'd give me that look. I love you Cher and I want it all the way. Like that Sinatra song you and your father love. ALL THE WAY. That's the way I want it with you Cherokee, the good and the bad, all of it. I want us to love each other, have babies and grow old together. Ya getting all this down aren't ya cause baby this is the last time Zack Grant gets sappy. Understand?" Zack leaned over and kissed her hard, putting everything he had into that kiss and praying that she wouldn't hate him too much when she found out the rest of it.

When somebody loves you
Its no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how its got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real

When somebody needs you
Its no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may

Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
Its for sure Im gonna love you - all the way, all the way
