Because for some reason the show seems to avoid Cate (like cat with and e) and Lux moments that I would really like to see I am going to use this as my forum for one shots over the season when I feel things are missing. I love the adults a whole lot but they are focusing a whole lot on them, seriously how does your kid get engaged without you knowing.

Disclaimer- I do not own Life Unexpected this is purely for entertainment and cathartic reasons.

Ocean Uncharted-

Cate's House after the hospital.

Lux was laying on her bed thinking about everything that had happened with Bug and how bad she felt about Baze, then there was a knock on the attic door.

Lux- Come in. (She said with less volume than she normally could making her realize how emotionally spent she was)

Cate – Hey you, How are you doing it has been kinda quite up here? I brought you dinner I figured I would make it come to you.

Lux- Thanks, I'm not really hungry.

Cate- Okay, Hey kid I am sorry I put Baze's injury on you. You know it wasn't your fault I was just so scared you were in that building.

Lux- It is partly my fault I shouldn't have lied. I just needed some time to think.

Cate- No you shouldn't have but … hold on what do you mean time to think.

Lux had thought about telling Cate about the engagement but she didn't want to take the chance in disappointing her. Lux paused while trying to think of how to tell a half lie about what had happened in her life the past 24 hours.

Cate could see the wheels turning in Lux's head, she always looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders, All Cate wanted to do was be there for Lux.

Cate- Hey, Look at me. You okay there ?

Lux- Yeah, I'm fine

Cate- Not great.

Lux- Definatley not great.

Cate- You know Baze is going to be just fine, just as much as pain in the ass as always.

Lux- ( half heartedly laughs ) It's not Baze.

Cate- Yeah I figured that with the time to think comment. Did something happen with you and Bug?

Lux looked down and Cate suddenly knew how all parents felt when their kids had been gone all night with out any idea of what had gone on, there were a million thing swirling through her head although pregnant seemed to pop up after each idea she knew that they had just gotten back but all it takes is one night and some stupid faulty condom and suddenly you were waiting to pee on a stick and panicking about how you were gonna tell your mom.

Lux after deciding to tell Cate about the night before or at least the engagement looked up and saw how pale Cate looked.

Lux- Cate are you okay?

Cate- (finally snapped out of her thoughts) What? Yeah I'm good, we were talking about you, tell me about you. Please tell me about you because I want to know you. I love you kid and I am here for you no matter what, no matter how difficult or hard a situation might be, I am all in, not going anywhere I promise.

Lux- Cate slow down, it's a big deal but not that big.

Cate- Okay, Will you tell me what it is?

Lux- (deep breath) Bug proposed.

Cate – Proposed…(she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding). That is a big deal. What did you say?

Lux- Huh.. No yelling about how I would be throwing my life away.

Cate- Is that what you think of me as a yelling machine who is constantly judging.

Lux- Only kinda (with the crack of a smile of that mimicked Baze)

Cate- Hey( she playfully hits Lux)… in all seriousness kid I think you are way too young to get married but I love you and trust you to make the right decision for yourself, I can never say enough how much I love you and that I will always be there. I would love it though if you let me in on your life and not shoulder so much on your own, I know you are more adult than teenager. But I am your mom its my job to be there for you and help you when you need it, I am just a phone call away or a walk down the stairs. Not saying I won't yell or throw a fit but I want in your life more than you know.

Lux- I know. I told Bug yes but after I realized how young I really am I said I couldn't yet. …. ( Lux starts to cry).. he just walked away.

Cate- Shhhhh… Come here. ( Cate sits back on the bed and puts a pillow in her lap and pats it for Lux to put her head down, Cate strokes Lux's hair)

Lux- I don't think he is coming back.

Cate- It's going to be okay, I promise you I will make sure you are okay.

Lux- I love you Cate.

Cate- I love you too sweetheart. We're going to get through this and anything else that comes our way, I hope.

Lux- (slightly laughs) Optimistic.

Cate- There's the banter I adore. You got that from Baze you know.

Lux- Nope its all you, you just won't admit it.

Cate- You're right I should own up to it. But the pain in the ass genes all him.

Lux- That's a little you too.

Cate- Hey! ( Stops stroking Lux's hair)

Lux sits up and gives Cate a hug, Cate returns the hug and kisses Lux on the forehead.

Cate- You okay now?

Lux- No… but definitely better.

Cate- Night honey.

Lux- Goodnight.
