Thank you so much for the reviews on the previous chapter, it means a lot!

Two days later

''Ooh, look at how pretty you are in that vest.'' Nick smirked as he lifted the puppy up, that was still wearing the too big vest as he refused the house with it now. Matt knew it was not good to let him wear it yet as he was far from being a service dog and it could confuse people. The only place he really had to wear it was when he was in a big place with a lot of people so people would not pet him, because he had to get used to focusing. But here Matt was okay with it, because these were the people that Ayer could get close too, although they should not constantly pet him.

Matt walked to Gabby and kissed her as he felt happy to be back at 51, even just for breakfast. He had been invited for lunch and he really liked that, it made him feel like he was still a part of the group. It was better than sitting alone at home.

Pouch looked at the dog invading his space and snuffled the young dog. Ayer also put his wet puppy nose against Pouch' face and looked up then, his tongue sticking out and running around Pouch then and the dogs played together.

Matt sat down by the table, where Cruz put dinner on the table.

''Cruz cooked? I would go home.'' Kelly joked to Matt and Matt smirked.

''Olivia thought me this dish. I did not mess it up.'' Joe said then and they sat down.

They all ate the dinner he had made and it was pretty good. He could follow the conversations pretty well.

Otis was texting Elise as he was thinking about taking her out for dinner when this shift was over, as it was over soon. He just wasn't sure where she would like to go out for dinner. Hopefully she would like the Italian restaurant he would really like to take her to. It would be a nice night for them.

After shift, Matt and Gabby went to the park with Ayer and as soon as they got him off the leash to play and they sat down on a bench has they looked at the boy that was playing. The only thing Matt was really worried about was that the puppy was so playful and even the trainer had said his concerns. He was so scared that the dog would be so playful the whole time that he could not be trained and they had to give up on Ayer being a service dog. Sure, they would still love the dog just as much but he had joined the family to be a service dog. Matt was honestly really scared that he would lose the dog if he could not be service dog and he had to look for another. He could manage without a service dog but it would be a lot better for him.

The dog was still jumping around.

''What if he isn't going to be a service dog?'' Matt asked worried.

''He will be, give the dog some time, he is still young.'' Gabby said as she laid her arm around him and they looked at the little dog that was goofing around.

Kelly walked into the house he shared with Lindsay and looked as Lindsay disappeared into the bedroom and he followed her, wanted to kiss her but quick she closed the door.

''Can I come in?'' He asked confused and he heard Erin struggle with something.

''No way, I am fitting a dress for our wedding. The cocktail dress for at night, when the big white dress can come off.'' She said, as she was planning to wear a shorter, easier dress.

''Can I see it?'' He asked and she giggled.

''No, it will be a surprise.'' She said but then she opened the door.

''I guess the real wedding dress should remain a surprise though.'' She said as she stood in the doorway and Kelly looked at the short, navy blue dress she was wearing, it was so pretty, it looked so well on her and she smiled, happy with it as she thought it would be great. Maybe he should get a tie in this color…oh and his eyes.

''It will match your beautiful blue eyes.'' She said then, kissing him as she cupped his face in her hands.

''We will always match each other.'' He said as he pulled her in his arms. They fell down on the bed, kissing.

In Alison's apartment, the couple was also enjoying their evening together and with their foster son. Jason was asleep on Alison's chest and she caressed his back.

''I am still so proud that he puked on McAuley the previous shift. Today he complained that the baby puke smile won't go out of his shirt, which made me even more proud.'' Alison grinned and Leslie grinned back as she put the two wineglasses on the table she had gotten for them.

''I was thinking, we should open a savings account for Jason, so he can study later.'' Leslie said and Alison nodded slowly.

''That is a good idea, but the only thing is that he is not really our son yet so the saving might be for nothing.''

''He will be our son someday and then we can save for him. We will never lose him, I am sure about that!'' Leslie said and she caressed the back of the little boy that was asleep on Alison's chest. They hoped that they would be able to keep him forever…they had to keep him forever!

Elise and Otis were enjoying their dinner at the Italian restaurant he had wanted to take her to and they were enjoying dinner, He really liked it and she was smiling too and he was so glad she was smiling. She was finally really smiling again after losing her brother and he knew it would never be easy, but she was dealing a lot better.

''You know, the first time I saw you I thought you were some moron.'' She giggled then and he laughed as well. She shared more memories with him about all the time she had met him before.

''Well, you know. The first time I saw you, I thought you were s young, because you have this sparkle in your eye.''

''Had.'' She said with a wry smile.

''Have, you still have it.'' He said then, laying her hand against her face and kissed her, over the table. As he looked back, he smiled at her and realized that he was lucky to be with the prettiest girl in the world. The pretty girl that had a sparkle in her eye again.


NOTE: Ayer is really playful and Matt is expressing his worries to Gabby that he won't be a service dog! What if he loses the dog as his service dog? Erin and Kelly are getting closer and closer to their wedding and although he had seen one dress now, he could not see the other! Alison and Leslie are getting closer and closer and want to make plans for the future but is all so unsure because Jason is not officially their son yet. Elise and Brian also had a good talk about the past!
