The movie: " Reserrecting The Champ" is mentioned because Kathryn Morris plays the wife " Joyce" in the movie so I found it amusing to make Scotty have a crush on her.

While checking out several catering halls, Scotty remembered how once he and Elisa talked about it. The thought out her made him sad knowing how in the end she had no one to be there for her. He wondered what it was like right before Elisa had jumped caused her own death. Maybe the same feelings were evident in Lilly.

Then a wave of panic raced right through him , " What if she still feels that way inside" an inner voice said" I need Lil can't live without her". Now seeing the shooting playing over and over again Scotty rushed into the bathroom splashing cold water on his face. Still he could only see the blood pouring out of his girl how the paramedics raced around before getting her onto a stretcher. Why did he stay in the room and not walk her out to the ambulance.

Lilly needed someone there for her especially after losing her mother the previous day. When Scotty saw her fragile body lying on the bed, he broke down and cried thinking he was the cause for this. Perhaps he was especially after she lapsed into the Zombie stage. Now thinking of how much stronger she had gotten didn't help, not even when John Smith was trying to screw out with her mind

He liked kicking the crap of this sick twisted killer, especially knowing how friable Lilly's mind had become. It was like glass easily about to shatter within any given second but even then Scotty needed to do everything in his will power to protect her. Now in the midst of a panic attack he couldn't even see straight.



Somehow this brought him right back to his counselor's office was surprised when she took him right away. It was near closing but in the mind of a trained professional there were signs that couldn't be ignored.

" I keep seeing Lilly after the shootin, so scared and alone" Scotty said sitting down" Couldn't protect her like Elisa".

The counselor leaned forward" You did Scotty but can't protect Lilly all the time. She's a cop also but from what I get about her she's strong willed. You need continue to be there for her emotionally and physically, that won't make Lilly love you any less".

He shook his head "What if she feels the same way like Elisa had"?

"Do you really ever talk to her about this, voice your concerns"?

Scotty made a face" No Lil isn't the type to open up a lot" but then saw Lilly walking into the room before sitting down. This was his change to relay his inner feelings hoping she didn't want to break their engagement afterwards. He was scared to tell the one person he loved so much this but wanting to set her back into a depression.

"Keep thinkin you're going to kill yourself from this"

Lilly took his hand as Scotty let it all out. She was thinking right into his own set of thoughts, knowing how scared he was of losing her. As the two tried to work this out along with a consoler it was clear that he was blaming himself for everything that had happened to him in his entire life. Lilly could relate but at the end the two ended up crying on the couch together.



Scotty was the worst as he felt his fists balling up but relaxed it. He knew this wasn't the answer to solve this problem that had been etched so deeply into his conscience. During the ride home she kept on looking over seeing how lost he was.

"Hey" but there was no answer" Hey you hear me"?

With no response Lilly knew he was feeling weak at this very moment. Now pulling up in front of her apartment he sat there on the couch staring into a daydream. She knew there were dark moments of her own life that made her feeling that way.

"I know it wasn't easy but you're letting it out" Lilly said. Scotty looked away from her "It's not changing anything I feel about you".

He then threw a pillow at her before lying down, signaling he didn't want to be bothered. Before long Scotty looked over seeing his girl still at his side" Sorry, just was scared".

"Don't be still want you to be my husband" sealing her words with a kiss. He then kissed her again" Love you much but" as Lilly interrupted" Forget about the past we're here together working on getting married" trying to focus on something positive between them. Scotty was growing even angrier" Why so I can feel guilty about my screw-up"?

Lilly was taken aback as he stood up" Couldn't help you with your nightmares, wasn't there when Elisa killed herself. I'm not good".

She then pulled him down "You are Scotty without you I would have been all alone. I love you a lot that means a lot to me".



He could see it in her eyes before breaking down and crying in her lap, just like he had done with Elisa. This was an entirely different circumstance which Lilly tried to comfort him. Scotty let out more tears of sadness before she lay back allowing his head to rest on her chest. Her heartbeat provided him with the realization that Lilly was alive and well.

Perhaps he could move on and enjoy their new lives together, but hated the fact about being with Christina. Then again when Lilly got lonely she screwed up a case and landed up with Joseph who wasn't right for her. In fact Scotty saw the look displayed on her face after he had broken up with her. Loneliness wasn't good for either of them; in fact it seemed too deep at various peeks of their emotions.

Christina was a huge mistake and Scotty knew he could never betray Lilly again, before his lips pressed a kiss onto her milky skin.

"Did you feel that way around Patrick" daring to ask that question.

She drew in a deep breath" No he didn't just cheat on my sister but on another woman whom he married just six months later" as Scotty looked up " He didn't deserve you Lil, not the way I do".

Lilly nodded through her tears as the two sat up before sharing a deep embrace. Sometime later the two sipped on some wine before cuddling up together which watching a movie. This time they watched the same movie knowing it was Scotty's favorite, before realizing why he adored a certain female actress so much.



It wasn't her body but the radiant smile and charisma that Scotty had seen in her. Now watching one of the scenes he whispered softly into her ear" How about wearin a skirt like that"?

"Oh yeah another thing for Vera to brag about"?

Scotty laughed before Lilly slid a promise ring down his finger" Now you're all mine" as he kissed her before breaking away to watch more of the movie together. He liked now wearing a ring it made him feel so important knowing his heart belonged with Lilly.

Just two weeks later Lilly was growing frustratated with trying on several dresses. She wanted her waistline to look good but couldn't figure out what it was that made the weight stay on. Perhaps it was his cooking or the fact they pigged out nearly four times a week, but maybe it was just from her period.
