A/N: This started out as an RPG (ROLE PLAYING GAME) between me and my friend babypink13, therefore she can be addressed as the 'co-writer' of the story. Oh, and BTW, I own NOTHING. Neither does babypink13.

'Simon, we need to talk….'

'Sandy, what is it? You are scaring me…'

'Don't be scared. Just come inside with me.'

'Okay…'

He follows her inside.

They sit on the couch and Sandy puts Aaron on her lap.

'Well, you know Aaron?'

Sandy sounded nervous, and sort of stuttered when she said it.

'Yes… Yes I do.'

Sandy sighs.

'He's yours….'

'Wow. I promise to be there for you and Aaron……

….Do my parents the only people that I told were Rose, and obviously Martin, probably not…'

'How long has Rose known?'

'Since I found out…'

'It doesn't matter. What really matters is our son and our being good parents. When do you want to tell my parents?'

Sandy smiles.

'Do we have to?'

Simon smiles too, and chuckles.

'Yes. We want them to be apart of Aaron's life.'

'Yeah. I know they helped me a lot, but your mom can be sort of…er…scary… when she's mad and I think she'll be mad….at me….'

'Sandy, this isn't your fault. You didn't know. She'll be fine.'

'Fine. We can tell them whenever you are ready.'

'Well, it won't be tonight. They've had enough surprises already.'

'Agreed. So, you're really not mad?'

'No. I love Aaron and I love you.'

'I love you too. So, how's this gonna work?'

'Well, how about we live together?'

'Ok, but do we have a shot? Can we be together?'

'Yes. I love you, Sandy. And I know you love me. We belong together.'

Sandy hugs him.

'Come on.'

Sandy picks up Aaron, Simon holds Sandy's hand, and they walk outside to the front of the house where no one else was. They were looking at the stars.

'Wow. It sure is beautiful tonight.'

Sandy kisses him.

'It sure is. I've never seen so many stars in the city.'

'Yeah. I know what you mean. It's probably because of the fact that all the light are always on.'

'Yeah, I guess.'

Sandy grabs Simon's hand.

'I am so, so lucky to have you and Aaron.'

Sandy kisses him once more.

'Well, it's getting sort of late, and it's a two or three hour drive back home. I better leave so I can get Aaron to bed. You should stay.'

'Why don't we all just go together?'

'Your family. If you haven't noticed, they're very suspicious bunch…'

'You're right. I guess I'll see you tomorrow.'

They kiss goodbye and Sandy walks away, puts Aaron in her car, and drives away.

Simon looked sad after that. He missed them. Ruthie and Martin come out. Martin spots Simon, so walks over to him.

'Hey. What are you doing out here?'

'I was just thinking. And looking at the stars. It's a beautiful night.'

'Oh. Where'd Sandy go?'

'She went home with Aaron. Why?'

'Just asking…'

Martin and Ruthie are holding hands.

'So…. are you okay with her? You know, after finding out I was Aaron's father after all that….

'Well, I was a little angry and shocked first, but relieved. I am not ready to be a father. But Sandy and I plan to stay friends.'

'That's good. You know, I am thinking of asking Sandy to marry me…'

'Wow. Ruthie, could I have a minute to talk with Simon, alone?'

'Sure.' She says as she walks away. Martin sits next to Simon on the steps.

'You know, Simon, Sandy really does love you. You know, she'll never really admit it, but when she thought you were really gonna marry Rose, she was really depressed. Do me a favor, don't break her heart. She really loves you.'

'I would never break her heart. I love her. I would die before letting anything happen to her.'

'Good, because even though I'm not in love with her, I still do love her. I hated seeing her like that. If I see her like that again, I might just kill you.' Martin smiled, as did Simon.

'Don't worry about that. Hey, how about if we do get married, you be my best man?'

Martin nods. 'Will do.'

'Great! I can't think of a better man for the job. And hey, now that you and Ruthie are dating, if you hurt her I'll have to kill you…'

'I won't. Trust me.'

'I know you care about her. You make her really happy.'

'I hope so. Why don't you go home to be with your son and his mother. There isn't anything here for you anymore.'

'Well, I want to, but we haven't told my parents yet, and I would greatly apprieciate it if you didn't tell them. Sandy and I will tell them when we are ready.'

'I won't, don't worry, but you aren't a kid, Simon. You don't have to tell them anything. Just go.'

'You're right. I'll go. I am gonna go call Sandy and let her know I'm coming.'

'Ok. But remember, she really loves you. You are her entire world. Don't be an idiot.'

Martin walked away and met up with Ruthie and danced with her. He kissed her.

'I love you, Ruthie.'

She smiled.

Now, back to Simon

Simon dials Sandy's cell phone number. It rang about 4 times before she answered.

Suddenly the loud ringing stopped and was replaced by Sandy's soft and sweet voice.

'Hi, Simon' She smiled.

'It's me. Martin and I talked things over and I think I should come home and be with you.'

'What about your family?'

'Forget about them. We don't need to tell them anything. I live Aaron, and I love you, and I want to be with you guys.'

Sandy smiled.

'Ok, but I am still stuck in traffic. I am actually only about 25 minutes away from the house, near Starcrest Diner. Want me to pull over and we can meet there?'

'Sounds great! See you there.'

'Bye.'

They both hang up, and Sandy smiles. She pulls into the diner's parking lot, and sits there for about 10 minutes. She heads inside with Aaron.

Maybe about 10 minutes later, if that, Simon walked into the diner. Sandy was sitting at a booth with Aaron on her lap. She waved and smiled. He smiled and walked over to them, kissed Sandy, then sat.

'Hey sweetie, hey bud.' He said as he tickled Aaron's stomach. Aaron giggled and Sandy smiled.

'You wanna get something to eat, or just go home?'

'I want to go home and put our son to bed, and then you and me will have a romantic dinner there.'

Sandy smiled at his idea.

'Sounds great.'

'I thought so. Let's go.'

Sandy smiled. She couldn't believe this was real. They leave to go home.

At Sandy's apartment, Simon takes Aaron and puts him to bed.

Simon rummaged through some drawers in the kitchen and pulled out a few candles. He set them on the table and lit them, then dimmed the lights.

'So, what do you want to eat?' Simon said as he pulled put Sandy's chair for her. She sat.

'Anything is fine. I am starving.'

Simon opens the fridge and studies its contents.

'How about some left over pizza you have in the fridge?'

'Perfect.'

Since Sandy was single, a mother, and a former alcoholic, she didn't have any wine or champagne in the house.

'And some Diet Pepsi to drink.' He said smirking

Simon got to glasses out of the cabinet, and poured in the soda after adding a few ice cubes to each glass. He warmed up the pizza in the microwave and put the slices on paper plates. He handed her a plate and a glass as he sat with his own food and drink.

He raised his glass.

'To us.' He toasted.

Sandy raised her glass as well.

'To us.' She smiled. Although soda and pizza was food she ate normally, with him it was like a gourmet meal.

The glasses clunked together and they both took a sip, then put their glass down.

'Did you hear about my whole family having twins?'

'Yes, I did. That really is something, isn't it?'

'Yeah, I know. Lots of surprises today for everyone. Oh, and just so you know, the surprise you gave me was the best one I've ever gotten.'

'Well, it was the best surprise I've ever given someone.'

Sandy smiled. They started to eat.

Simon still had the ring he gave Rose and decided now was the right time.

'Sandy, I love you so much. You gave me a beautiful son and you gave me your heart and now I'm going to give you mine.'

Simon got down on one knee.

'Will you marry me?'

He took out the ring box. Sandy's eyes widened and her jaw almost dropped. She just stared at him.

Simon opened the box, showing the ring.

This time, Sandy's jaw did drop. She just stared from him, to the ring.

'Simon….'
