Sorry for taking so long to update. I got my wisdom teeth out and was pretty out of it for a week. It took me a longer time to recover than I anticipated and I was on some pretty strong stuff. Let's just say if I had written some of this chapter last week it would have probably included a talking dragon. I'm still very uncomfortable and I've hit a little bit of a writers block, but I'm sure it will pass soon. Keep the reviews coming. Writing fanfiction is only fun if you are bringing enjoyment to people

Soft classical music played and the low murmur of voices filled the air in Antonia's Italian, and the two were sitting in their usual corner table. The lights were dimmed and the few candles on the table illuminated their faces. Wes couldn't help but stare at Lilah as she scanned her menu. Her hair was curled just the way he liked it and she was wearing a beautiful royal blue empire waist dress. He chuckled to himself how she had complained while getting ready it was the only nice thing that she could fit into. But tonight they were celebrating her new job and she had insisted they both dress up.

"What are you staring at?" Lilah asked with a wrinkled brow.

"Nothing, Nothing." He smiled sheepishly and she rolled her eyes while shaking her head. "I was just thinking about our anniversary in a few weeks."

"We have an anniversary?" Lilah asked. "The last time I checked we didn't even have a first date. Unless you're counting the first time we had sex as a date."

"The signed dollar bill." He simply said and they both smiled. Quickly her face became serious again.

"You're right, I forgot about that." She said quickly looking back at her menu.

"You never forgot about that Lilah." He told her firmly and she looked up at him. "You felt the same thing I felt that night." That night they both realized, whether that had ever intended to or not, that they had fallen in love with each other.

"And we were both too stubborn to admit what we felt until it was too late." She shrugged and he reluctantly agreed. They had been immature but they had done it out of fear. Being truly in love with someone was terrifying. You were risking every moment having your heart broken and neither of them liked being that vulnerable.

"None of that matters anymore Lilah." He told her and took her hand. "We're here together and having a child. We both have jobs that we love doing. I don't know how you feel but I would have to say I'm pretty damn well happy with our life."

"I'll be glad to back to work soon and away from your friends." Lilah told him and he knew it was probably a good idea that she and the team didn't spend too much time together. Maybe one day they could learn to understand her but working together was pushing it. The waiter came to take their orders and then they went back to talking. The mood of the restaurant was romantic and calming.

"When do you start at Connelly and Jackson?" He asked.

"Two weeks. Their former employee doesn't leave for another week." There was a pause and he could tell she was unsure of what to say next. "I'm leaving for Virginia in two days." Wesley nearly choked on his water and he coughed a few times.

"Why would you need to go there?" He asked. She shrugged and took a sip of her own water.

"I want to visit my Mother. Kathleen says she checks on her twice a week but I know she's lying. She's always been the compulsive liar in the family. Hell, she should have been the lawyer." Wesley knew not to ask anything more about Lilah's younger sister of three years. She had countless dead end jobs that had left Lilah in charge of taking care of their Mother and selling her parents house when her Father passed away.

"I could always come with you. If you need me." Lilah just laughed and gently rubbed his leg with her foot that she had slipped out of her shoe.

"I definitely need you but not when it comes to my family, okay?" Wesley was taken aback that she had admitted she needed him. He knew he needed her and she needed him as well, but he never thought he would hear her say it.

"Fine, Fine. I can always fly up if you need me when you get there." He told her with a smile.

"Always trying to be superman. Wesley, I'm a big girl I can do this on my own." He nodded and they went back to enjoying the romantic mood.
