Chapter 10

After Greg had signed Morgan's paperwork, he helped her to the car and drove back to the house. As soon as he had opened the door, his mother jumped up.

"Oh, I was so worried!" she called out. "Are you okay, Morgan? I can't believe Terje pushed you into that pond… Look at you, are you alright, sweetheart?"

"Mum, can she sit down first?" Greg spoke up as he noticed how Morgan was leaning heavily on him to keep her balance.

"Oh, yes, of course!" Greg's mother quickly moved aside and Greg helped Morgan over to the couch. Greg's father gave her a worried look. "What did the doctor say?"

Greg had to repeat it as Morgan suddenly felt exhausted.

"You should go to bed," Greg's father advised her. "You're in for a rough night, you best try to get all the sleep you can!"

"That's a good idea," Morgan sighed.

"I told her she could sleep in my room, so I can wake her every hour," Greg softly said. His mother nodded. "That's very sweet of you, Greg, and a good idea. Do you need some help with anything, sweetheart?"

"No, I'll be alright," Morgan said to her. Even though Greg's mother meant well, she preferred just having Greg help her as he understood she wasn't in the mood for a lot of talking.

He carefully pulled her off the couch and brought her to his room.

"I'll go get your things," he offered.

"Thank you," she said with a deep sigh. She watched him leave the room and then lay down, falling asleep immediately. When she woke up, she found herself under the covers with Greg next to her.

"Hey," he softly smiled. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah…" she murmured. "Did you change my clothes?"

"Yes. I'm sorry if you didn't want me to…" Greg whispered back. She was already half asleep again. "It's okay…"

She fell back asleep, waking up only an hour later when Greg shook her shoulder. He kept doing that every hour until seven o'clock when they were both too tired to wake up. They both remained fast asleep till ten o'clock, when Greg's mother knocked on the door.

"How are you feeling?" she asked Morgan.

"Tired!" Morgan honestly said. "But okay… My ankle and fingers still hurt a little, but I don't have a headache anymore."

"Good. Eh… We were planning to go to the Florida Mall today, but if you don't wanna come, that's fine," Greg's mother contained. Morgan smiled at her. "Thanks. I think I indeed prefer staying here today to try and get a few more hours of sleep."

"I'll stay with you," Greg immediately said. Morgan noticed the disappointed look on Greg's mother's face before she left.

"You should go," she said to Greg when his mother was out of sight. He shook his head. "No, I'll stay with you."

She took his hand and smiled at him. "That's really sweet of you, but for some reason your Mum really wants you to come. I'll be okay, honestly, I'm just gonna sleep for a few more hours. I'll keep my cellphone close, so I can call you if something's wrong, okay?"

Greg still didn't seem convinced she'd be alright on her own.

"Greg, I'm a big girl, I'll be fine!" she grinned at him. "Just go, okay? And bring me back something nice!"

Surprising her, Greg suddenly nodded. "Okay, I'll go!"

He jumped off the bed and disappeared into the bathroom to take a shower. Morgan frowned. Why had he changed his mind so suddenly? Was it because she had told him to bring her a present? A little voice inside her head told her there was more to it than just that.

Half an hour later Greg left the house with his parents. Morgan finished the breakfast he had brought her before she crawled back under the covers and drifted off to sleep again. This time when she woke up, it was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon.

She carefully got out of bed and managed to reach the bathroom to take a shower. When she tried to get dressed, it finally really hit her that Greg had changed her clothes last night. She couldn't help but blush at the thought that he had seen her in just her underwear. Why couldn't she have been awake? She realized she was getting frustrated with the whole situation. She and Greg liked each other, they knew they both felt the same, then why couldn't they just take the next step now? Thinking about all those almost kisses suddenly made her feel angry. Why couldn't they just get the chance to kiss?

Her frustration and anger made her decide to try and cool off. She changed into her bathing suit, hopped to the pool area and carefully went into the pool, trying to keep her plaster cast dry. She sat down on the pool stairs in the cool water, enjoying the sun on her face. As any other girl she loved shopping, but this was so much better!

When the water got too cold for her, she lay down on one of the chairs, just enjoying the sun and the silence. The silence didn't last long as Greg and his family returned from their trip to the Florida Mall. Both Haldor and Gunne ran up to her.

"Morgan, Morgan, we got you a present!" they both called out. Gunne held up a big bag of M&M's.

"Greg helped us picked it out," Haldor told her. Smiling, Morgan took the bag of M&M's. "Thank you both, I love chocolate! You can tell your uncle Greg he remembered that very well."

Greg shrugged his shoulders after Gunne and Haldor had repeated her words. "It's not that hard to remember: every time I bring chocolate to work, you steal it from me every time!"

She blushed a little as he was right. He often brought some chocolate to work to enjoy as desert after his lunch or dinner, but most of the time she was indeed the one to eat it… and he never had any trouble with her doing that.

"Don't worry, we bought uncle Greg M&M's too!" Haldor said to Morgan.

"And for us!" Gunne nodded. Britta, his mother, appeared behind him. She nodded with a frown on her face. "Yeah, they did buy themselves M&M's… They had a bag as full as yours, but there's already none left! I don't think they'll be having dinner with us…"

Morgan grinned before she waved goodbye to the two little boys.

"What about you, are you hungry?" Greg wanted to know.

"I haven't had anything since that breakfast you made me, so, yeah, I'd like some food," she smiled at him. He quickly helped her when he saw she wanted to get up and brought her inside the house so she could change.

"I'll start dinner," he promised. Morgan smiled as she loved him taking care of her. The only thing she didn't like, was that his parents had dinner with them…

After dinner they watched some TV until Morgan started to drift off to sleep. As Greg's parents were still up, she told Greg she'd sleep in her own room.

"And what if you need to get out of bed in the middle of the night?" he reminded her. "No, I don't think that's a good idea, you're better off sleeping in my room."

"No, Greg, that's alright, I… Wow!" Surprised, she looked at Greg, who had lifted her off the ground easily.

"I'm not going to have a discussion with you over this," he softly said to her.

"Okay," she whispered back, enjoying the moment too much. If only Greg's parents hadn't been watching…

Greg brought her to the bathroom and waited outside till she was ready for bed. He carefully helped her into bed, making sure she was properly tucked in before he used the bathroom himself. By the time he got back, she was already half asleep. She felt Greg crawling up next to her, his arm around her waist. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard him whisper in her ear: "I love you…"

She fought the urge to turn around as he obviously seemed to think she was asleep already. She couldn't keep the huge smile off of her face, though. He had said out loud that he loved her! Smiling, she drifted off to sleep, Greg's words still on her mind.

The next day was their last full day in Kissimmee. Morgan tried not to act different around Greg after hearing his words, but she found herself smiling an awful lot during the day. They spent it all together in a park nearby, where Haldor and Gunne enjoyed playing on the swings and baby Frida crawled around. It was a nice, calm and lazy day which ended with dinner in the restaurant of the main building back near their houses.

After dinner, Greg's father got up.

"I'd like to thank you once more for being here with us this week," he started his toast. "I know I've already said that after dinner in Walt Disney World, but I just wanted to say it again. For both me and Anna this has been a wonderful week! Spending it with all of you, our boy Greg of course and meeting Morgan… It really has been amazing, thank you all so much!"

Morgan already reached out to her glass for the toast, but to her surprise, Greg got up.

"I'd like to add something," he said a little shyly. "Mum, Dad, I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I really did enjoy being here with you this week. Seeing how happy you two are together, even after fifty years, is really amazing. I remember growing up with kids around me talking about their parents getting divorced and having to spend one weekend at their Dad's and the other at their Mum's… It made me feel really glad I didn't have to go through that."

He took a moment to take a deep breath before he went on: "At Walt Disney World, after dinner, you talked about love, Dad, remember? You said you were hoping we'd all find or hold on to someone we love as much as you love Mum."

He quickly looked at Morgan before he continued talking: "A few years ago I met a woman at work. She immediately caught my attention and during the weeks and months that followed I found out she was incredibly smart, funny, sweet, caring and most of all brave. I don't think I've ever met anyone braver than her."

Morgan felt like she was on fire as she knew he was talking about her. She tried not to blush, but all the eyes on her didn't make it easier.

"I think I already fell in love with her that first time we met," Greg continued. "And every day I got to spend with her at work, I fell deeper and deeper in love with her. I just didn't know what to do with what I felt. We were working together, so that made things complicated, even though I slowly started to realize she felt the same way about me as I did about her. I was never really sure, though, not until I brought her here with me."

He now looked directly at her. She tried to remain breathing like normal, but her heart was beating out of control as she realized where this was going.

"I've been trying to tell you how I felt the past few days, but you know as well as I do how that went," he said with a little smile. "So, instead of trying to wait for the right moment, I decided to create that moment myself. Right here, right, in front of everyone, so there's no chance of interruption."

He slowly got down on one knee and took a small box from his pocket. Morgan's trained CSI mind immediately made her realize that this was why he had wanted to go to the Florida Mall yesterday all of a sudden. She held her breath as he opened the box, showing her the most beautiful engagement ring she had ever seen.

"I love you too, Morgan, with all my heart," he softly said, looking up at her with those beautiful dark eyes that had made her fall in love with him in the first place. "And I wanna make you happy every day for the rest of my life. Morgan Brody, will you marry me?"
