Slammerkin Alternative Ending

***right after Daffy asks Mary to marry him***
     ‘So what do you say to marrying me?’ asked Daffy enthusiastically.
     Marry thought about the answer to this question. She had never thought that marriage was even something that she would have to think about in her life. This was because she had always thought of herself has not pure and undesirable since she had been a prostitute previously in her life. Another reason was that she had the clap, which meant she could not bear all of the children that Daffy desired.
     ‘Well I have something to tell you’ she relied nervously.
     ‘What?’ 
     ‘This may come as a surprise to you, but I feel that before I answer your proposal. I have had a rough life and at a young age I was taken advantage by a shop owner and from this got pregnant and the clap. Though I knew I couldn’t have that child so the only way for me to make money in time was to sell my body. Since I got the clap I can't have all the children that you want since the child would be born diseased with the clap. Though I got out of this bad life once I realized the direction my life was going. I am so glad I met you and have fallen in love with you over time. So knowing all this, would you honestly still want to marry me?’
     ‘Wow, well I never expected that from you. But that does not change the love that I have for you. I mean just because you cannot bear children does not mean that we cannot adopt. So will you marry me?’
     ‘Yes I will!’

     After this Mary and Daffy gathered themselves and walked back towards the Jones’ house together to tell everyone their news. When they were walking they could not stop smiling because they were so happy that they had been blessed with each other in life. 
     When they arrived in the house they gathered everyone together so that they could tell them the news. They all looked at them with anticipation.
     'So me and Mary have some good new to share with everyone' Daffy paused for dramatic effect 'Me and Mary have just become engaged to be married!'
***
     This is the day that Mary had thought about since she was a young child and never expected it to come. She walked outside and the sun flashed in her eyes. Once her sight was clear she saw the best thing of her life, which was her true love Daffy. She was looking forward to the rest of her life.
