Boden walked into the room that they picked for the baby. He tapped Matt on the shoulder and Matt turns and stands up. Boden had asked him for the crib because heknew it would be something for Matt and hopefully it would let him get the hang of it again.

Boden showed him the dry erase board that he bought to they can talk. He props it up against the wall and writes on it. I bought this so we can communicate.

Matt nods at him smiling. He had wondered how they were going to talk since he knew Boden didn't have much time to learn to sign. He didn't expect anybody to learn it for him but as he was not able to lip read yet it was a welcome solution.

Boden wrote: Do you need any help?

Matt shakes his head but writes: Maybe later with the rails.

Boden nods and walks back out. Maybe it was better to leave Matt alone so he could do what he thought was right. Boden was pretty good with work himself but he thought it was good for Matt to gain some confidence again and Matt would tell him if he needed any help.

A few hours later, he went to check on Matt.

Matt wrote on the board: Just in time.

As it was time to put the rails on the crib and Matt himself was still too weak to hold both up at the same time. He showed Boden where to hold the railings up so he could attach them to the frame.

They put up both sides, and Matt showed Boden the little lever he installed you step on it so that one side on the crib rail drops down.

Matt smiled at Boden and notices he has tears in his eyes.

Matt writes: Is it ok? He looks worried as Boden reads it.

Boden writes: It's perfect. I don't know how to thank you.

Matt is so relieved reading that. He smiles at Boden and writes: This is my gift to you, Donna and that beautiful baby.

Boden nodded, moved and looked at the crib and he could only hope that his son would ever be as brave as Matt and that he would get up so easily after struggle.

Otis hears his phone ring. He looks at his phone and sees that it is Elise.

"Hello?" he said.

"Um, hey Brian." She says softly.

"Elise, hi." He said smiling. "How are you doing?"

"I…I wanted to apologize for running out on you last night." She said.

"You don't need to apologize. I'm not going to lie. I like you. But, we can take this as fast or as slow as you want. Or, if you just want to be friends, I will do that. I care about you." He gets out really fast before she can interrupt him.

She chuckles. "I like you too Brian. But, I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can be with a firefighter. I saw what losing my dad did to my mom, and now Peter." She said as her voice cracks.

His heart breaks for her and he wished that he could just hold her and show her that it would all be ok.

"Why don't we start slow? If you can't do it, you tell me and I will still be here for you." He says. Knowing that he just wanted her in his life.

"Ok." She gets out. "How about dinner?" she says.

"Sounds perfect. I'll pick you up at 6?" he said smiling again.

"Ok. I'll see you then." She said to him.

"Oh, hey Brian?" she says

"Yeah?" he answers.

"Thank you." She says softly.

"You're welcome." He says equally as softly "I'll see you at 6." He says as he hits the end button. Smiling.

Erin gets off the elevator at her apartment, rounds the corner to her door and sees Kelly sitting on the floor leaning on her door with his eyes closed.

She smiles looking at him as she leans down to him. "Hey handsome." she whispers.

His eyes open wide and he looks around.

"Oh god I fell asleep." He laughs stretching and getting up.

"Hi beautiful." He says hugging her.

She opens her door and they go in.

"How long have you been here?" She asks him.

"Oh…um. Only a few hours." He laughs.

"Kelly! Why didn't you call me? You could've come and gotten my key from me." She laughs.

"I didn't think you would be that long." He laughs.

"I always work till at least 5." She says laughing.

Kelly laughs and pulls her into his arms. "Thank you for holding up your end of the deal." He says kissing her.

"What deal?" she asks kissing him back.

"To catch that bastard that killed Peter and hurt Matt." He says tearing up thinking of Peter.

Erin wipes his tears. "I would never have stopped till we caught him. Now he will pay for all of it. He is never going to see the light of day as a free man again."

Kelly picks Erin up and carries her to the bedroom. And lays her gently on the bed.

"I love you Erin." He says as he kisses her.

Erin kisses him back as her tummy starts to growl.

They both start laughing.

"Well, I guess that means this will have to wait till after we get some food." Kelly says smiling.

"No, I don't want to wait." She says kissing him more as her tummy growls even louder.

"Ugh." She laughs. "Ok, I'm sorry. I skipped lunch. So, I'm hungry."

"Let's go and eat." He says. "I will take you anywhere you want to go."

Erin smiles and says "Capi's Italian Kitchen."

After dinner they head back home.

"Now, where were we?" Erin says taking of one piece of clothing at a time and dropping it as she walks to the bedroom.

Kelly chuckles and watches her until he can't stand it anymore and with a few strides, he grabs her and throws her on the bed.

"This is where we were." He growls to her.

They spend the rest of the night wrapped in each others arms. And fall asleep with matching smiles on their faces.

They were also content that the person responsible for turning their lives upside down was now in jail.

There was a knock on the door by Leslie Shay. Leslie knew that Kelly was staying at Erin's and Gabby wouldn't leave Matt alone. So who could be knocking?

She opened the door to see Alison Rafferty standing there holding a grocery bag and a bottle of red wine.

"Wow. What are you doing here?" she asked her smiling.

"I thought that maybe I could cook you dinner." She says to Shay.

"Sure, come on in." she says as Alison kisses her on the cheek.

"What's for dinner?" she asks as she leads her to the kitchen.

"Fettucine Cabonara." Alison answers her. After Alison finishes cooking,barely letting Shay help her in the kitchen, they sit down to eat.

"Thank you for not pushing me." She starts to say to Shay. "After I lost my fiancé, it was just really hard. I told myself I would just stay away from relationships, and I would be fine. But then I met you….I've never felt this way about another woman before." She says looking at her food.

Shay just nods. Not knowing what to say to her. She smiles at Alison.

"I want to take it slow. If that's ok. It's all so new to me, and I guess I'm a little afraid." Alison explains.

"We can take it as slow as you want. I'm not in any hurry." Leslie says smiling.

After dinner, they did the dishes together laughing and goofing around.

"How about a movie?" Shay suggests.

"That sounds nice. What do you have?" she asks

"How about Harry Potter?" Shay laughs

"Sounds perfect." Alison says smiling.

This was the perfect night. Shay thinks to herself looking at Alison with her head on her lap sleeping. She grabs the blanket on the couch and covers Alison with it.

"Thank you." Alison mumbles.

"You're welcome." She says kissing her head.
