She was already running late that morning, that's why she was speeding, she groaned at the flashing lights behind her. Pulling over, she pulled out the necessary information, hoping to move along the whole process. She rolled down her window as the officer approached her car, great just what she needed a ticket.

"Good morning Presley!" Jamie was leaning in her window smiling at her. "Going a little fast this morning."

She rolled her eyes behind her sun glasses. "I'm running late for work officer, now I'm even later. Any chance you letting me go with a warning?"

"I could be persuaded!"

"Wow! Does the Commissioner know that you take bribes?"

"He's fine with it, as long as it's from beautiful woman!"

She looked at her watch. "Can we hurry this along Officer Reagan?"

"I just wanted to say good morning, have a good day, oh and SLOW DOWN!"

"Thank you, and you aren't the first man in uniform to tell me that. See you tonight!" She watched him walk back to his cruiser, before she pulled back into traffic, heading to school. She did slow down, she pulled into the faculty lot, pulling into her parking spot she walked into the school. She poured herself a cup of coffee, and made her way to her classroom.

Sitting at her desk, she pulled out her books and papers, she needed for her first hour class, she had a full day of exams and essays to give and grade. The bell rang, her students started to file in the classroom, and so her day started.

The end of the day was here, she could go home, and relax for a couple of hours before Jamie picked her up. She walked down the hall, when a group of kids and angry shouts caught her attention. Fights didn't happen often, but when they did it was usually over matters of the heart. She pushed her way through the crowd, seeing a couple of football players going at it, and no other teachers in sight, she had no choice but to try to break it up.

She did have three older brothers and had broken up many of their fights, stepping in between them. She got between the two boys, pushing them apart, both boys were double her in size. She was knocked back against the lockers, her head and back taking a hard hit. Her adrenaline coursing through her body, she jumped back up, trying to pry the boys apart, she was shoved again harder to the floor. Hitting her head a little harder, she was knocked out.

Eventually, a couple of coaches came up and broke up the fight. The two boys were dragged off to the principal's office, she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She was laying on a gurney at St. Victor's, her head was throbbing, she opened her eyes slowly.

"Hi, I'm your nurse Linda. How are you feeling?"

"Like I tried to break up a fight between two football players and failed."

"From the report I got that's what happened. Your brother is is on his way.'

"oh crap, which one?"

"Dr. Talbert." She closed her eyes again, and groaned. "Is there a problem?"

"Out of the three, he's the most over protective of my brothers. I take it I have a concussion?"

"From some of the witnesses you took a couple of good hits."

"I'm fine!"

"Just lay there and rest. I'll let you know when your brother gets here."

"Thank you Linda." She looked at her watch, great it was five, she highly doubted she'd make her date tonight. She was really looking forward to the date too, She closed her eyes again, hearing the door open, her brother Aaron walked in, frowning at her.

"Next time let someone else break up the fight."

"There was no one else. I'm fine!"

"You're fine, that's why I got a call by your boss telling me you'd been taken to the hospital by ambulance."

"It's a concussion, not a gunshot wound."

"You're off work for the next two days."

"Aaron! Stop being over protective!"

"It's my job little sister, if you don't behave, I'll sedate you. Don't make me call the your brothers."

She mumbled something about him being an ass, she heard him laugh. She knew if all three of them were there, she'd be suffocated, by there care and concern. The door opened and Linda came back in with her discharge papers. "Get plenty of rest tonight, and tomorrow. Nothing too strenuous. Someone needs to stay with you tonight."

"She's coming home with me, my wife and I will take care of her." Presley crossed her arms, there was no way she was imposing on Aaron and Talia. They had a wek old baby, and the twin three year old. She waited until they were in the car, to rip him one.

"I'm not staying with you. Call Myles, he can stay with me."

"He's not a doctor."

"Get over your self Aaron. I'm not imposing on you and Talia, now take me home, or I'm getting out at the next stop light." She heard him grunt at her, she smiled in triumph as he took her home. He called Myles to come stay with her, explaining what had happened. She'd forgotten, to call Jamie to cancel their date.

She was laying on the couch when the doorbell rang at seven, feeling groggy from the light pain medication she'd been given for her headache. Myles got up to answer the door.

"Can I help you?" Myles blocked the doorway, preventing Jamie from seeing in.

"I'm here to pick up Presley, we have a date." Jamie wasn't sure who this man was, but he didn't like the fact he was keeping him from seeing Presley..

"Sorry man, she isn't going out tonight."

Jamie tried to push past him, Myles put his hands on Jamie pushing him out the door. "Why don't you let her decide that." Jamie was ready to pull out his off duty gun, and slam the man to the floor. He was worried that Presley was in danger. He saw her set up on the couch, her eyes go towards them.

"Myles, stop being an ass and let him in." She watched Jamie walk towards her, a look of disappointment on his face. "You have to forgive my brother Myles, he was raised by apes."

"Just trying to protect you little sister."

"But he's the police, so I'm safe! Now go away!" She watched Myles walk out of the room, going towards the guest room. "Sorry, I forgot to call you." Jamie got a good look at her, he could tell something was wrong.

"Are you okay? I thought we wrre going out tonight?"

"I have a concussion, I have to stay home. I'm sorry, I forgot to call you."

He sat down on the couch next to her. "What happened?" He brushed the hair away from her face.

"You're so cute!" She heard him laugh. "I tried to break up a fight between some football players, it didn't work out too well." She closed her eyes, leaning against him. His arms wrapped around her, she let out a sigh. "I'm sorry."

"About?"

"I'm sure you had better plans then this for our second date." He kissed the top of her head.

"Nothing to be sorry about, I'm getting to spend time with you."

"You really are cute." He laughed again, leaning back on the couch.

"So you've told me."

She woke up in her bed, she couldn't remember how she got there, she opened her eyes to find a note on the nightstand.

Pres,

Had to fly out, your cop friend will be here at ten. He's got a key.

Love ya

Your favorite brother.

She laughed out loud at the note, all three of them claimed to be her favorite. She looked at her phone nine-thirty, she climbed from her bed, going to take a shower. She didn't want to look too horrible when Jamie came by, she already had to apologize for standing him up for their date last night. She stepped into the shower, the hot water, relaxing her body, some memories of the night before came flooding back.

Myles being an ass to Jamie, Jamie being here in her house, holding her on the couch. Oh hell, she told him he was cute, not once but twice. He carried her to bed, and tucked her in like a child. She leaned her head against the tile of the shower wall, she'd be lucky if the man ever wanted to date her again. To top it all off, her head still hurt.

She stepped from the shower, wrapping a towel around her waist, she knew she only had a short time left before Jamie would get here. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, before going down the stairs. She was half way down the stairs, when came walking in the door carrying coffee, and breakfast. He stopped when he saw her, smiling.

"Good morning! How are you feeling?" She finished her decent, stopping at the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm feeling better." He leaned forward, kissing her. "I'm sorry about last night."

"It's okay. I'm just glad that you weren't seriously hurt." She led him to the kitchen, he sat the coffees and the bag on the counter. "Tell me about your family."

"My parents were musicians, free spirit, hippie types, Clyde and Jinger. They passed away in a car accident about five years ago."

"I'm sorry."

"They died together, not having to live a single day without the other. Anyway my brother Aaron is 40 and a doctor at St. Augustine's, Myles, you met him last night he's 36 and a pilot for United, and then there's Davis my twin, he's a music producer."

"You have a twin brother?"

"He's a whole five minutes older then me. All three of my brothers are protective, Aaron being the most, still is to this day. I'm sure Myles has already called a full report to him about you."

"Should I be scared?" He laughed.

"No, Talia his wife keeps him in line. Emily keeps Davis in line."

"What about Myles?"

"He isn't married, he's the playboy of the three."

"Is Presley a family name?"

She closed her eyes, and shook her head. "No, but I am named after someone."

"A family friend then?"

"Not exactly, my brother Aaron was named after him too."

"Who are you two named after?"

"You can't laugh! My parents were musicians, all four of us are named after musicians."

"I promise I won't laugh."

"Aaron and I both are named after Elvis." She heard him laugh. "I'm not even going to tell you my middle name."

"You know I can easily find it out right? Just tell me."

"No way Reagan, sharing time is now over." She got up from her seat and started to walk away, his arm snaked around her waist, bringing her back against him. She felt his lips on her ear.

"Is it Priscilla?"She turned around in his arms, slapping at his shoulder.

"No!"

"Lisa Maria?" She laughed again.

"It's Gracelynd."

"Like where he lived?"

"Yes, only it's spelled G-r-a-c-e-l-y-n-d, because spelling it the correctly was just too weird."

"It's not that bad!"

"Is share time over now? Because I think I may just wait and ask Nikki to dish the dirt on you. Or maybe her mom at the next parent teacher conference." She smiled as she pulled out of his arms, walking away.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Since she was still off the next day from school, because of her injury, she promised Emily she'd go out to Bayridge to her and Davis' new house. Thet were officially moving in this weekend, but Emily was moving in small stuff all week.

"So tell me more about Jamie."

"We spent the day together yesterday. He was off, I really like him."

"He's a cop, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"The neighbor is an ex cop, and his son is a cop. I met the dad yesterday, really nice."

"So, when are you and Davis going to give me some nieces and nephews?"

"In about seven months."

"Oh my God! really? Congrats!"

"So, are you going to be giving me a brother-in-law anytime soon?"

"Geez Em, slow down! I don't even know how he likes his eggs yet." She heard her phone ring, she smiled when she saw it was Jamie. Emily looked at her, grinning.

"Is that him?" Presley nodded as she answered her phone. Emily yelled out at the top of her lungs. "How do you like your eggs?"
