A/N: This chapter is dedicated to sexydreamer who motivated me to post this. Thanks again :)

The sun was a blazing ball of fire as its light shined on the faces of the flowers and kissed the tops of the trees. The animals were basking in its warmth while the people were complaining about its scorching strength. Many argued that this was some sort of punishment because no one should have to endure the temperatures that it was inflicting upon them. The only one who didn't seem to mind was Lizzie Spaulding. She was laid out beneath one of the great oak trees in the park. In fact summer was one of her favorite seasons. However, that could not be said for her partner, Jonathan Randall. He was grumpy and impatient as always when it came to the Springfield heat. It made Lizzie laugh to see him worked up over something he couldn't control. They were supposed to be working on a plan to get Alan to back off, but Lizzie didn't seem to be listening to anything Jonathan was saying. Finally, he gave up and let her enjoy the sights of the park. He had to admit the park was beautiful.

After awhile Jonathan started to get drowsy. The slow moving hot breeze and the sing-song of the birds were luring him to sleep. However, before he could rest curiosity grabbed a hold of him. He had noticed that Lizzie had been drawing something for the past hour. Bit by bit it was starting to come together, but Jonathan still didn't know what it was. For the most part it looked like a dark depressing forest, but that wasn't it. There was something else there, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In order to get a closer look Jonathan gently placed his head on Lizzie's shoulder. An hour went by before Lizzie turned her head toward him. She was about to ask what he wanted, but her question caught in her throat at the sight of his face. A small gasp escaped her mouth before she let out a low, "wow". Lizzie couldn't believe how vulnerable and child-like Jonathan looked at that moment. With a smile she moved his head to her lap so he could be more comfortable. As soon as she placed him on her lap Lizzie felt a sharp kick in her stomach. With a laugh she started to speak, "I know little one the park is pretty but try not to make too much of a fuss. Your daddy is trying to sleep down there. How about I draw a picture of him for you? Would you like that?" She was answered with a small tap. Lizzie just shook her head and laughed while picking up her sketchbook.

About two hours later….

The weather was starting to change drastically. The ever present heat was starting to dwindle in the wake of the oncoming storm. Many who were visiting the park were beginning to leave, all except one. A young lady with blonde hair was racing through the park at warp speed. A total of ten people and a squirrel were nearly run over. She whizzed past the playground and nursery and made her way to the cluster of oak trees in the back of the park. It was the only place in the park she hadn't checked yet. With a wheeze and a sigh the girl took off toward the tallest of the trees. With every stride she was starting to see the outline of two people lying against the trunk. After a minute or two she finally reached the young couple; Jonathan and Lizzie. The girl bent over trying to catch her breath, but it was lost again at the sight the couple made. Jonathan was lying on Lizzie's lap with his face turned up towards her; a small smile twitched at the corner of his lips. Lizzie was looking down in adoration toward Jonathan while running her fingers through his hair. At first the girl thought she was awake, but then she realized that Lizzie's eyes were closed and she had the calm face of someone in a sweet dream. The young couple's entwined hands brought tears to the girl's eyes. They looked so in love and inseparable it was heart wrenching. That was how she was supposed to look like with Jonathan, not Lizzie.

Five minutes passed before the girl gathered the courage to wake the dreamers. However, it didn't seem like she needed it. One of the dreamers was starting to wake from their slumber.

Lizzie rubbed her eyes and let out a loud yawn. Embarrassed, she looked down to see if it had woke Jonathan up. With a chuckle she shook her head. Jonathan could sleep through just about anything and she doubted that her tiny yawn could do much to stir his peaceful sleep. Lizzie stroked the stray hairs out of his face with a content smile. She was pulled out of her reverie when a loud boom echoed through the trees. It startled her and caused her to look up and in doing so she saw the one person she was hoping not to see for a couple more hours, Tammy.

Tammy cleared her throat. She felt a little silly gawking at Lizzie like that since she hadn't given any notice to her being there in the first place. "Lizzie," she began. "It's about to storm haven't you or Jonathan noticed the excessive amount of thunder and lightning in the past hour?" Lizzie looked at Tammy like she was crazy. The last thing she remembered was sunny skies, but her answer came with a resounding clap produced by the sky. "Shit," she cursed. Turning to Jonathan she tried to nudge him, but he just nuzzled closer to her womb. As much as she was enjoying his cuteness right now it was still embarrassing to be enjoying it in front of his girlfriend. "Jonathan," Lizzie hissed. "Mmmm, five more minutes," Jonathan said sleepily while snuggling Lizzie some more. Lizzie kept sending pleading looks to Tammy, but she looked completely lost herself. "Jonathan, I said get up right now," Lizzie yelled while giving him a harder nudge. "No," he mumbled while shaking his head slightly. With a frustrated sigh Lizzie said, "That's it," and took hold of his exposed ear. She yanked as far as she could and then twisted. Jonathan's eyes opened wide and he let out a strangled groan. Sitting up he glared at Lizzie. "What the hell, Lizzie," he bellowed while rubbing his injured ear. Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Oh stopping being such a baby. Your ear is going to be fine. Besides we need to go and your cuddly side was starting to freak me out." Jonathan looked horrified. "I do not have a cuddly side. I'm all kick ass and take numbers. I eat cuddly things for breakfast." Lizzie just started to laugh and said, "Righ....,". Tammy cleared her throat again right in the middle of Lizzie's sentence and began to talk. "Now is not the time for one of your bicker fests. This storm isn't going to stop because you guys can't get through one conversation without chewing each others head off. Now if your quite done, its time to leave," she said. And with that Tammy began to walk down the hill. Jonathan and Lizzie looked at each other before glaring again. With a huff they packed things up and made their way down the hill too.

"Jonathan I'm going to go stay with my mom for the night R.J. is sick and he is asking for me," Tammy said. Her words had cut through the silence that had been hanging in the air since all of then had gotten back to the apartment almost 10 minutes ago. Jonathan and Lizzie like always were refusing to talk to one another and Tammy had been silent only to keep the peace, but she had gotten a phone call. Jonathan looked worried. "Tammy, its about to storm are you sure that its good to be going out in this approaching weather?" She just smiled and his concerned and said "Don't worry I have my cell phone and my mother's house is only twenty minutes away." On that final note Tammy gave Jonathan a long sloppy kiss, to Lizzie's disgust, and left.
