Jill came into the apartment a while later seeing that Cody and Cameron were talking wanted to know what was going on. Cody left the apartment so that Cameron and Jill could be alone. Cameron and Jill had been together by this point about a year and everything was going great for them. Jill knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Cameron. Cameron motioned for Jill to sit down on the couch than Cameron got down on one knee and proposed to Jill. Jill of course said yes, at this point Cody had come back into the apartment. He and Cameron would now be brothers. Jill and Cameron now had to tell her parents about the engagement and Cody suggested why not wait till thanksgiving, Jill and Cameron both agreed that waiting would be the best thing for right now. Cameron later that night though to tell his parents that he had proposed to Jill and she had accepted, well his parents were thrilled about that because they both loved Jill like she was their own daughter.

Jill and Cameron got married that December and they lived happily ever after. The moral of this story is don't judge someone just because they be different from you or I. They are people and they have feelings, they may be deaf but they can still feel and cry and everything else that we as hearing people do.
