However after closing on their new home, Lilly practically spent the last night being single at home. It wasn't without Kat whom had come over to celebrate, but she already knew that the nervous bride to be was in fact; pregnant again.

While the woman had a quiet celebration, Scotty was at Jones celebrating it with fellow cops. He was glad that it wasn't a strip bar; since he couldn't let himself cheat on the woman he loved so much. Finally the two were getting married but when his brother had informed him that their mother was in California; visiting some friends; Scotty felt sort of relieved.

Although he wasn't entirely convinced that his mother would try and crash the wedding, but by the time that Scotty had gotten home; he immediately went upstairs to check on his daughters. This is what had wanted so badly to be; a father. Now as Scotty stood there watching Melissa sleeping; he knew that by not giving up he had gotten a chance.

His fingers then rested on the side of her neck, feeling the steady beats. As Scotty then counted each of the beats, his worry increased. Though her pulse was normal, he knew that he would be anything to make her heart problems go away. Bending down to kiss her cheek, Scotty couldn't help but to remain there for awhile.

"I love you", he whispered softly...

Getting up, Scotty then walked out of her room quietly and into the next one, where Leigh was sleeping in her crib. Looking into it, he could see a spitting image of Lilly all over his youngest daughter, while Melissa resembled him. However as the one year old continued to sleep, Scotty also bent down to kiss her, whispering the same thing.

Being careful not rouse her, he then slowly closed the door behind. Upon walking into the bedroom, Lilly sat up in bed wearing a long black lace gown. Her eyes batted at him; sexily. Scotty shook his head before greeting her with a long kiss; pausing to gently touch her stomach.

"Everything goes alright, here", he asked?

Lilly smiled, "Miller came by earlier, so I take it you had fun"?

"No just was at Jones", feeling proud of himself for only having one drink. Being a father had taught him responsibility, and the fact that Scotty didn't want his daughters to ever see him like that. Instead he then eyed her gown, "Got something planned for tonight"?

Lilly sighed, feeling him lifting it up. Instead Scotty then started kissing her stomach, "I take it you think I'm sexier being pregnant".

"Your sexy Lil, but I think you're starting to show", seeing a small bump protruding. Her hand then gently caressed her stomach, "Think it's another girl"?

Scotty then moved closer, circling her lips. He could see the softness wanting to brush against them, while his eyes could see just how blue hers were, "Kiss me", she whispering awaiting the touch of his lips.

When he didn't, Lilly slowly parted her lips as a single breath was then released. He could see the anticipation growing but instead got into bed beside her, knowing that in retrospect Lilly was extremely nervous about tomorrow's events.

In fact he was right, seeing how she was nervously biting her bottom lip. However the two ended up snuggling together; but early the next morning Lilly was a complete nervous wreak as she got both of her daughters into their gowns. Though Kat had somehow managed to do her hair and makeup, she could see just how much the nervous the bride had become.

Knowing that Lilly was indeed freeing a possible return of Maria, her mouth remained shut. All the way up to the moment of the doors opened, there still wasn't any sign of Maria anywhere. Once the music came on, Stillman gently walked with her.

At the altar, Scotty stood there watching his two beautiful little girls walking down the aisle; well running when it came to Leigh. However when he caught the attention of Lilly, his breath was nearly been taken away. She was in fact extremely beautiful, even with this white gown on her. Her hair had been let down, and curled.

Once there, Stillman placed Lilly's hand into his. Scotty found that his heart was doing a series of flutters inside of his chest due to seeing the woman he loved now decked out in a wedding dress. Much to everyone's surprise, the two had decided to make their own vows.

With her ring, Scotty looked into her eyes, "I promise to always love and protect you", turning to look over at both of their daughters, "and to be a good dad to our kids", finding it harder for him to speak since he was overcome with a million different emotions, "I have always be there for you, even when I had saved you life; I knew even then just how much you meant to me".

The tears already started to flow down Lilly's cheeks," Do you take me as you husband", seeing her nodding with tears, as Scotty then proceeded to slip the ring down her finger.

Finding her voice; Lilly then spoke, "I love you", she whispered, "I promise to be a good wife, to be there for you for the good and bad", while slipping his gold band down his finger. As they were pronounced man and wife, their lips came together in a slow but steady romantic kiss.

Just moments after they had broken apart, Scotty carried Lilly up the aisle wanting to show the whole world that she was now officially his. As the pictures were then snapped, the first showed a very happy couple, while the next displayed the two feeling their baby's first moments together.

However as small as the hall was, the two didn't care too much. Since it was a small gathering anyways, but Scotty did what he had to do to ensure that Lilly's dreams would be coming true. When their song came on, he then slowly let her out onto the floor.

While the song: Catch the Wind, begun playing. Scotty looked up into her eyes, while mouthing the lyrics, memories of them first meeting, him holding onto Lilly's hand in the hospital, but now all he was now thinking was that Lilly was now his wife.

As the song then faded out, just as Melissa came running out onto the dance floor. It was perfect timing as he then led her out, while their song had come on. To him that song had gotten him through so much of his own depression and kept him hoping to finally be with not only Melissa but with Leigh as well.

While Melissa's feet danced on top of his, Scotty smiled softly, gazing down at his eldest daughter with so much love in his heart. Just as he stepped out to catch a breather, Maria came up the steps along with her husband.

"Are you stupid", she hissed, "Marrying that woman, bad enough you had two kids with her".

Scotty wasn't about to let his mother ruin this, especially now with Lilly being pregnant, "You don't know just how much I love her and our daughters. The pain I felt from not being able to be a dad to them".

His father yelled in Spanish, blaming him for everything. However Scotty remained strong for his family, knowing that he had to protect them, "You two have no right in coming here".

Maria then scowled before leaving, which to Scotty was a new thing. Upon going back inside, he made no mention of it to Lilly but instead continued to enjoy their wedding. Just a few days later; while the two were waiting at her doctor's office; Scotty glanced over at her.

He remembered all those times when Lilly was pregnant with Melissa, wanting to go but knew that he couldn't. Perhaps Scotty was blaming himself for Melissa's heart problems; since he wasn't there until she was about eleven months old. Whatever it was, he knew now that he would be about to see at least one of his children take their first breaths.

When Lilly's name had been called, the two went in. As the galloping sound of their baby's heartbeat flooding the room, Scotty watched intently knowing that he couldn't wait until it was born. Even moments later, the two walked out knowing that the baby was already and healthy, except later on when Lilly came out seeing Scotty sitting there with Melissa.

"I wish that I had two hearts, I could have given her a new one", he replied softly.

Lilly shook her head, "The doctor says that her heart's fine, she's doesn't need a new one. The surgery did correct it, but she also has asthma on top of everything".

He glanced upward, " She didn't deserve this Lil, you don't know how I felt during her 1st surgery", while watching her playing with Leigh, " I was so scared that I was going to lose her", feeling Melissa's hand touching his face," Daddy", she replied softly.

"I'm not sad", he whispered, "I love you".

Melissa then kissed his cheek, "Si", she replied causing her parents to share a small bout of laughter. Somehow Leigh then amazed them by also speaking that word, prompting Lilly to look at her husband, "Didn't I tell you not to start that until she learned English first"?

Upon opening up a family album, Melissa immediately pointed out, "No Daddy"; every time a page was turned. Scotty felt even more guilt knowing that he wasn't there to make those memories with her; he then got up and went downstairs to calm himself down. However while lying down on the couch; Melissa then came over to him.

"Daddy", she called out, "Hold me".

Placing her onto his chest, Scotty then proceeded to rub her back, "I'm sorry, I did everything to come back to you. I love you so much Missy".

Melissa somehow remained on his chest, while Lilly then placed Leigh as well there. She knew that Scotty needed to heal from his scared wounds, but he then held out his hand. Moving closer, Lilly felt his hand resting there, "They can't take your fatherhood away Scotty, not any more. Your mother is insane, but she'll never realize just how much you love our kids".

He then sighed, but knew during this trip with Vera to Michigan would prove to be a bad thing. His mother was no longer after Lilly or their girls; but after him. Scotty needed to get to the bottom of this before the birth of third child was born.
