Caroline sighed as she looked out of the living room window. It had been over a week since she had been staying with Chris and it felt like she was about to go out of her mind.

"Lynn? Are you okay?" Chris asked, walking into the living room and she turned to glare at him.

"I wish you wouldn't have started calling me that again."

"It's what I always called you."

"Yeah, when we were together but we're not anymore." She said, watching as he sat down on the couch beside her.

"I'm aware that we're not together anymore. Are you in pain or something?"

"Not right now. I just feel like I'm about ready to go out of my mind being stuck in this house all the time."

"Well, lunch is just about ready so why don't we eat? I already had something planned to do today to get you out of the house for a while." Chris stated, standing up and handing her the crutches she had started using to get around the house.

Caroline groaned as she used the crutches to pull herself up and follow him into the kitchen. "I can't exactly do much walking around right now."

"You won't have to, I promise. Aleister and Dusty are going to meet us where I'm taking you. Chris said as he pulled out her chair and waited for her to sit down and then he pulled another chair over to her, lifting her right leg on it.

"Be honest with me about something."

"I've always been honest with you but okay...what is it?" He asked, grabbing the sandwiches and soup he had made for them.

She picked up her sandwich and took a bite when he placed it in front of her, chewing and swallowing as he sat down at the table across from her. "They've been home all along haven't they?"

Chris froze, his spoon halfway to his mouth and looked at her. "Truthfully? Yes. They thought that we could work things out between us if you stayed here."

"Dammit! I knew it! I'm going to kill her, I swear."

"Lynn has it really been that bad staying here with me? I mean, I know you hate me and everything for what I did to you and I can't blame you but we have been getting along pretty well these past few days or at least I thought we had."

Caroline sighed and put her spoon in her bowl. "I guess you're right...it hasn't been so bad. I just want to kill her for lying to me."

"Understandable but you have to realize that she was just doing what she thought was best for us."

"Yeah, yeah." She mumbled, picking up her spoon and taking a bite of soup. "So where are we going today?" Caroline questioned, doing her best to ignore the fact that her heart sped up when he smiled at her.

"I'm not telling because it's a surprise. As soon as we finish our lunch we can go."

Chris glanced over at Caroline and he knew he had done the right thing when he saw the smile on her face as he pulled into the parking lot of the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium. "This okay Lynn?"

"Okay? It's perfect! How am I going to get around though?"

"Dusty found a place where she rented a wheelchair for a few hours so you'll be able to get around with no problem." Chris explained as he pulled into a parking space next to where Dusty and Aleister were parked and waiting for them.

{}{}{}{}{}

Dusty smiled as she held Lennon and she waved at her sister before opening the car door. "Hey Linny."

"I should kill you, you know that right?" Caroline asked, glaring at her as Chris came around to help her out of the car.

"What did I do now?"

"You lied to me! You and Aleister have been home this whole time."

{}{}{}{}{}

Aleister pulled the wheelchair out of the trunk of the car and looked at Chris as he sat it down and unfolded it. "How are things going?"

"They were rocky at first naturally but we've been getting along pretty well the past two or three days. I'm glad I decided to do this today because she was starting to get a little stir crazy." Chris pushed the wheelchair over to where Caroline was leaning against the car waiting for him.

Caroline turned around and sat down in the wheelchair, looking up at Dusty. "I'll get you back for that."

"I'm really scared sis." Dusty replied, laughing when Caroline flipped her off.

{}{}{}{}{}

"This is absolutely beautiful." Caroline said as Chris pushed her through the 360 Ocean Tunnel.

He glanced over at Dusty and smiled at her when she winked. "I'm glad you're enjoying it Lynn, I thought you would."

She turned her head and looked up at him with a smile on her face. "Thank you for getting me out of the house and bringing me here."

Chris leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "You're welcome."

{}{}{}{}{}

"Baby how do you think things are going with her and Chris?" Aleister asked, sitting at the kitchen table and holding Lennon as Dusty cooked dinner.

"From the look of things today I'd say that they're going pretty good."

"Chris told me that things were pretty rocky between them at first."

"I can imagine they were because I know she was pretty pissed at me for us not going and getting her." Dusty said, draining the spaghetti noodles and pouring them into the sauce.

"She seems to have gotten over it."

"I think so. They looked awfully close today...kind of reminded me of when they were together."

"I thought so too." Aleister agreed, smiling when Dusty walked over and leaned down to kiss him. "Dinner almost ready?"

"Yeah. If you want to dish everything up, I'll take her upstairs and put her to bed." Dusty stated as she took Lennon from him. "Be back soon."

{}{}{}{}{}

"What made you think of something like this?" Caroline asked as she and Chris sat waiting for The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show to start.

"I just thought it was something that you would enjoy. It's alright isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's fine. Chris?"

"Yes?" He heard the seriousness in her tone and sat his beer down as he looked at her.

"I want to apologize to you."

"For what?"

"For the way I've been acting. I've been really bitter about things that happened between us because I just couldn't let go of the past and I'm sorry. You've been really sweet to me and you've taken really good care of me...thank you for that." She said and he smiled as he leaned over to peck her on the lips.

"You're welcome. You know that I'd do anything for you."

"I know." Caroline replied just as the show started and the conversation stopped as they turned to watch.

{}{}{}{}{}

"Did you have fun tonight?" Chris asked as he helped Caroline into bed and covered her up.

"I had a lot of fun, thank you so much for taking me out today."

"You're welcome. I'll see you in the morning." He said, turning around to walk out of the bedroom.

Caroline watched him and took a deep breath. "Chris?"

"Yes?" Chris questioned, turning around and looking at her.

"Will you sleep in the bed with me tonight?" She whispered and he smiled.

"Of course Lynn."
