I'm so sorry this chapter took me so long to post. Every time I sat down to write, I got interrupted by something. I should be able to post the next chapter more quickly. I hope you all like this chapter, and if you do, don't forget to review!

"Hey!" Remy called to her friend, Melinda, as she spotted her sitting on a bench just outside the mall.

"You're late" Melanie said with a smile.

"Come on, 10 minutes late" Remy laughed "You know how long it takes me to get dressed"

"True. Well come on, there's plenty of shopping to be done" Melanie said as she stood up

The two women made their way into the mall, stopping to look at the directory on the way. After they had decided which stores they wanted to go to first, they continued walking.

"We really need to see each other more often." Melanie commented

"I know, I've just been really busy lately."

"Is work still crazy?"

"It's been getting better" Remy answered

"Any new guys…or girls…in your life?"

"Actually yes" Remy admitted, "Robert Chase, I work with him."

"Oh my god! Is he your boyfriend? When did this happen? Tell me everything" Melanie gushed excitedly

"No, he's not my boyfriend. We just went out to lunch a couple of days ago. But…we have a date tomorrow night."

"How did this get started?"

"Well, my boss asked us to babysit her daughter while she went to a meeting. Afterwards, he asked me out to lunch. Then last night, we watched her again." the doctor explained.

"Oooh, and then he asked you out?" Melanie asked

"Yup"

"Well, then we have to get you something totally hot to wear tomorrow night!"

"Melanie, I don't need anything new to wear" Remy complained

"Yes, you do. This is your first real date with this guy. You have to make an impression"

Not taking no for an answer, Melanie dragged Remy into the first store, handing her dresses and skirts to try on. After several outfits that Melanie disapproved of, Remy was starting to get bored. Her last outfit was a short, one shoulder black dress complete with a black lace hem and silver beading across the neckline.

"Oh my god…" Melanie gasped

"Is that all you can say?" Remy asked

"You look amazing!"

"That's better" Remy said dryly

"Okay, you totally need to get that. Rob is gonna want to rip that dress right off of you" Melanie gushed

Remy laughed "Come on Mel, it's our first date"

"Yeah but you look hot"

"Well thank you"

Remy bought the dress, and they continued their shopping. 2 hours and a couple of hundred dollars later, Remy was all ready for her date.

"I should be getting home, I have some paperwork to finish before tomorrow night"

"Okay, but only if you promise you'll call me after your date and tell me everything." Melanie pleaded

"I promise"

"And we need to hang out again soon"

"Okay"

"Well have fun on your date!" Melanie called as Remy walked away.

The next night, Remy was just putting the finishing touches on her makeup. When she was done, she walked over to her full length mirror and carefully studied her reflection. Her dress fit perfectly, she had her hair done in soft curls, and she was wearing just a touch of makeup.

"Damn, I do look pretty good" she thought to herself

She didn't have to wait long for Chase to arrive, because a couple of minutes later, the doorbell rang. As Remy walked to the door, she was suddenly nervous about going on a date with a co-worker, especially one who had just gotten a divorce. Pushing those thoughts out of her mind, she opened the door.

Chase was standing on the other side, a bunch of daises in his hand, wearing a black suit.

"Wow, you look amazing" he said, admiring Remy's outfit.

"Thanks, you look pretty good yourself"

"Oh, these are for you" he said, holding out the flowers.

She took the flowers graciously, setting them on a table next to the door.

"Shall we go?" she asked

"Sure"

He held the door open, allowing her to pass him. After she had locked the door, they continued down to Chase's car.

30 minutes later, they were at the restaurant.

"Wow Rob, this is amazing" Remy said as they walked through the door.

"I'm glad you like it" he replied as he led her to their table.

"Cuddy called me this afternoon" he commented

"Really? What did she say?"

"She said thanks for watching Rachel, and that Rach took her first few steps this morning"

"Really?" Remy asked "That's great!"

"You really like her don't you?" Chase asked

"Yeah, I'm really glad Cuddy asked me to watch her that day" Remy smiled

"Speaking of Cuddy, I heard she and Lucas broke up"

"Seriously?" Remy asked "I thought they had just gotten engaged"

"They did, but she broke it off for some reason" Chase explained

"Well I don't blame her; Lucas was always a little weird."

After much talking and joking, they were ready to leave. And once they were back at Remy's house, she had something to say.

"Thank you Robert"

"Oh, you're welcome" he replied

"No, I mean for everything" she explained "it's been hard; since I found out I have Huntington's. I don't think I've had this much fun in a long time. You've helped me realize what's really important."

"You've helped me too Remy. Since Allison left I haven't been doing anything but working. You're really an amazing woman."

With that, he kissed her.
