Tonight was their date night. Josie was being taken care of by Brainy and Lanie tonight. At the restaurant where, Arnold proposed to her they both were listening to the music as they ate. Arnold looked across the table at his wife as she ate. Seeing the manager approach them, Arnold smiled at him as he greeted them.

"Good Evening, Dr and Mrs Shortman. I trust everything is perfection here?" He asked them both. "I can see you both are going strong. Tell me how your beautiful young daughter is."

While Helga wondered why they always did this when they are eating, Arnold answered him instead. "Everything is fantastic, Felipe. How is your family doing?"

"Oh they are wonderful. Thank you so much in asking." Glancing over to the band, Arnold wondered what he had on his mind. "Tell me if you wouldn't mind gracing us with a song. The way you sang to your beautiful wife here to propose to her is still talked about."

Helga lifted her eyebrow up. "Well he does have a wonderful set of pipes after all. If you want to sing, I'm all for it."

Nodding his head, Arnold will do this mostly to see her smiling at him. "I'll do it, Felipe."

"Ah excellent. Please come with me so you may speak to the band."

Getting off his seat, he went to lean down to kiss, Helga. "What shall I sing?"

"Anything your heart desires." Kissing him again, she watched him walk towards the band.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Meanwhile at their house, Lanie was playing with, Josie while Brainy was in the kitchen making food. He would always look at them with a smile on his face as he watched, Lanie lay down on the ground pretending to die.

"Oh she got me again." Lanie did a poor job of acting that, but it was all comical for, Josie's benefit as she came to her with a toy stethoscope to place more near her collarbone then where her heart was.

"Don't worry, Auntie! I will save you." Josie assured her as she tried to listen to her heartbeat. "I don't hear you." Grabbing her hand she shook it around with Lanie wincing quietly in pain from that. "I don't want to lose you! Uncle Brainy save her!"

Quickly washing his hands, Brainy went over to get on his knees to look down at, Lanie. Too many other thoughts drifted into his head as he looked at her that way. She just had to wear his favorite shirt tonight. "What do you recommend, Dr Shortman?"

Placing her tiny finger against her mouth, Josie was humming. "Oh! Give her CRP."

"CPR?" Josie nodded. Glancing back down to Lanie, he noticed a tiny smile on one side of Lanie's mouth. Trying not to laugh himself while hoping to maintain himself, Brainy assured her he will. Going down lower he pressed his lips on, Lanie's. He felt the need to deepen it, but knew he couldn't get carried away.

"Are you doing it?" Josie inquired in childlike glee.

Well he was doing something that might get him in trouble. Brainy felt pressure from her before a gentle tap from, Lanie's finger on his hand. Looking down as he separated, she opened her eyes up with, Josie delighting and celebrating that Lanie was alive.

"Bzzzzz!" Lanie announced out like the game before helping her up to her feet. "Thank you, Dr Bartlett." Winking at him, she turned her attention to, Josie. "And thank you, Dr Shortman. I'm glad I have the best doctors in the business."

Josie hugged her legs. "We saved you."

"Yes you did sweetie. Now why don't we get you cleaned up before you eat." Lanie suggested.

"Alright, Auntie." Grabbing her hand, Josie towed her to the bathroom.

Feeling it was safe enough for him to do anything, Brainy thought to himself, "I am one lucky man."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Good evening everyone. My name is Arnold and I got a request to sing tonight." His eyes were solely on, Helga loving the little wink she threw at him. "I thought I would sing something that expresses how I feel each and every day when I think things get tough I have my wife that puts everything into perspective. This is Tom Petty's song Here Comes my Girl." Hearing the music start up, he almost felt foolish until the first word spilled out of his mouth.

You know sometimes, I don't know why

But this old town just seems so hopeless

I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times

Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me

I can somehow rise above it

Yeah, man when I got that little girl standin' right by my side

You know, I can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight

Every now and then I down to the end of the day

And I have to stop and ask myself why I've done it

It just seems so useless to have to work so hard

And nothin' ever really seems to come from it

But then she looks me in the eye and says

We're gonna last forever

And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it

No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right

I know we ain't never goin' to change our minds about it hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight (watch her walk)

Every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more

I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something

Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, waiting, worrying

About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'

But then she looks me in the eye and says

We're gonna last forever

And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it

No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right

I know we ain't never gonna' to change our minds about it, hey

Here comes my girl

Here comes my girl

Yeah, and she looks so right, she is all I need tonight

Standing up to applaud for him, Helga loved how everyone joined in the applause as he thanked everyone to get off the stage to walk towards her. Planting a kiss on his lips, Helga whispered in his ear. "Someone is going to receive something extra special tonight."

"I already do. I have you."

"Don't forget our beautiful daughter." She reminded him playfully.

"I never forget about our daughter. I just know that I can't wait to remove this dress off you in the meantime."

Giggling, Helga knew they had to pay for their check to make it to the show. This was shaping up to be a fantastic date night.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Both of them were enjoying the fight against her yawns. Josie was trying valiantly in staying up to continue watching, Rio. Each time one of them pointed it out, she would keep fighting against being sleepy until Josie passed out completely. Snickering at the cute girl, Brainy stood up to pick her up gently to bring her upstairs as Lanie decided to straighten the living room up.

Entering her room, Brainy went to her bed to pull the blankets down with one hand as he still supported her with one arm. Happy that Lanie convinced her to change earlier, he settled her on the mattress softly before pulling the blanket up. "Night sweet girl." Kissing her forehead, he crossed the room where the monitors laid to bring down with him.

"Wuv you." Josie whispered out before turning on her side.

"Love you too." Putting her nightlight on, Brainy closed the door partially before going back downstairs to see her almost done with the clean up. "Would you like anything else to drink?"

"Hot tea would be nice." Was her response.

Nodding, Brainy went into the kitchen to start up a pot before reaching into the cupboard for the tea. Knowing what her favorite was he set that aside. Grabbing a couple of mugs he put that down unaware of what she was doing now.

"So is she knocked out?"

"Yep. The monitor is turned on so we can keep an ear out for her." Brainy answered as he finally moved just to see her without her sheer blouse on and now she was just wearing her black tank top. He had a clear indication she knew that this was his favorite shirt judging by how he couldn't stop staring at her each time she did wear it.

"Peppermint?" She asked as she played it cool. She couldn't help but enjoy how he continued to study her.

"Uh... Yes." He watched her move into the kitchen to come closer. He watched at how she lifted the bag up to sniff it as her lips curled up. His eyes wandered down more.

"I love the smell of peppermint." Kissing his cheek, Lanie walked slowly out to the living room to look at the t.v. "This character Blue in this movie reminds me of Baby. She flies like a rock too."

Now steeping the bags in the pot, he wandered out to the living room to place the tea pot and the mugs down. Sitting beside her, Brainy pulled her against him. Nuzzling her neck, he almost snickered at her when she giggled. "Will she like me when we finally meet?"

"I don't know. She only loves my mom and myself. I hope she does." Lanie closed her eyes at him now kissing her neck.

Kissing up her neck to her jawline, Brainy gently lifted her legs up to place on his lap. "Well I know how I feel about her mom." Kissing her he enjoyed how she reciprocated.

HHHHHHHHHHH

After the show, Helga leaped up to the fountains edge to pretend it was narrower then it currently was. She imagined it to be a balance beam. She imagined it to be something she could do tricks on, but seeing she was in a dress it was near to impossible to do seeing as many people were still milling around. Studying how Arnold was looking up to her she smiled.

"You look beautiful up there." Bringing his hand out, Arnold was surprised by her instantly going into his arms. "You look beautiful here too."

Chuckling, Helga kissed him. "I had a wonderful evening. Thank you." Catching the look in his eyes she knew he was thinking something naughty. "What is on your mind?"

"Naked gymnastics."

She couldn't believe her husband. "I remember a certain someone getting excited by me doing tricks in the physical therapy room."

Blushing at that, Arnold kissed her. "A beautiful woman doing tricks and flying through the air with such ease, of course I got excited. I still do."

"Helga?"

Good feeling gone at hearing that familiar voice she looked to see, Sid standing there with a date. "Oh hi, Sid." Being placed down, Helga just smiled at his date. "Hello."

Bringing her hand out, the girl smiled at her. "Hi! I'm Sally. You are obviously, Helga by him saying it." Looks to Arnold. "Hello there."

Both Arnold and Helga had the same shared thought about the girl. She is the same height as, Helga with blonde hair and blue eyes. Not as blue as Helga's, but pretty close. "Hello, Sally."

Sid mostly kept his attention riveted to, Helga. "Sally was on a gymnastics team in her school. We both have been together for a year now."

"Mmmhmmm. Sid is such a good guy to me." Sally giggled. "How long have you both been together?"

Helga felt weirded out with, Sid just fixated solely on her. "Close to 5 years. We have a 3 year old daughter at home."

Sally clapped. "Oh that is wonderful!"

Arnold felt sorry for this girl so far. She seemed so innocent and nice, while Sid just kept staring at, Helga. "I am very blessed to have two wonderful girls in my life." Arnold told her while, Helga squeezed his hand signaling to him that they should go. "We have to go home to relieve our babysitters so I hope you don't think us rude."

"Oh no. I completely understand. It was nice seeing you." Sally told them both.

Sid winked at Helga. "I know this breaks the rules but I couldn't help myself." Sally looked at him confused while Arnold told him that they needed to speak in private.

Arnold glanced back to, Helga to silently tell her he was coming back. Walking far enough away, he crossed his arms. "Why are you so fixated on, Helga?"

Sid looked at him like he was crazy. "You are married to her and you dare ask that question. Look I know I've done shitty things to her and I did want to come over to fully apologize to her, but I couldn't. I shut up because... Seriously look at her. She's perfect even with that mark still on her face."

Arnold looked over to see Sally now talking to, Helga. "What about Sally? She's a nice girl. Sweet as I can see. I'm not blind to notice that she has the same measurements as, Helga. Are you using that poor girl? Also you do understand the meaning of restraining orders."

"Yes I know the meaning of them and I swear I won't do anything against her." Sid looked over to Helga. "You are lucky and I'm the ass who tortured her. You are married to her with a kid in your lives. I bet her daughter looks like her."

"Josie looks like a tiny version of her. Too much really." Arnold saw the tiny smile Helga shot him. "Please you need to stop this."

"I will. At least I got to tell you how lucky you are to have her. I'm just wondering if I can apologize to her."

Arnold thought about it before sighing. Looking at Helga, he knew he would have to ask her. Going over to her he whispered in her ear before she nodded and went to him. This left him with Sally.

Helga stood in front of him with her arms crossed angrily in front of her. "Yes?"

"I want to apologize for everything that I've done. I'm not expecting you to take away that piece of paper, but I want you to know I finally understand. I was a complete asshole to you." Sid told her in what she could assume was fake earnest.

"Are you using that poor girl? If you are you are still being an asshole." Helga couldn't help the tone in her voice especially when she had those old memories sifting through her brain.

"Originally yes, but not now. Your man is lucky to have you and I ruined it by being a douchebag to you. I did love you and I still do."

"You have the weirdest way of expressing yourself. I'm happy I have him in my life. With him I gained so much that I wouldn't give away. Arnold has made me the most happiest person I never thought I would be. I hope you do the same for her. Make her happy and if something happens to her that places harm on her, I hope you support her and don't do the same shit to her that you did to me. Maybe one day I'll forgive you, but I can't. Please do that girl a favor and treat her right. If you can be capable of that then maybe one day I'll accept your apology." Helga wanted Arnold's arms around her right now. She needed to hear his voice.

"I will. I swear it." Sid looked almost like he did when before they got together. He had complete sincerity in his face. She hoped it wasn't acting.

Moving away from him, Helga enjoyed Arnold's arm wrapping around her waist. Wishing Sally a good night, they both left to head to their car. "You can wipe away so much with just your touch." She told him. "You make me happy all the time."

"You do the same for me too." Kissing her, Arnold kept her close to him.

In the car they held hands as they drove home. Arriving home, they parked the car and left it to walk inside to see them both standing up. Arnold thought they were two teenagers that have just been caught so thanking them both for their help, he gave them both a hug as he pulled Brainy aside to talk to him. As for Helga a smirk continued to grow as she looked from, Lanie's blouse up to her face as she was talking. Lanie seeing the eyes going from her blouse to her face looked down to see she buttoned up her shirt wrong.

"Oops." Lanie quickly fixed it as she grinned. "No sex, just petting."

Helga couldn't be upset at that. She trusted them. "I know. Also I'm glad you are both together. How about you?"

"I feel like squealing and I'm not a squealer." Lanie grinned even wider.

"Squeal later but do it with him at his place." Winking at her, Helga and her chuckled lightly. At least it was a good evening for both couples.


Well that was a fun evening for us both lol.
