Sean looked at the drawing the jeweler gave to him, nodded, and smiled, "This is it." He inspected it some more and said, "Yep. This is perfect."

"Wonderful!" The jeweler took the drawing and said, "That was easy. I'll make a copy for you, and if you feel like you need to make any changes, just let me know before Monday evening."

"Will do." Sean asked, "So how long will it take to make?"

"Generally, it takes about two weeks to make a custom ring."

"Okay, great." Sean took a deep breath, "Wow, I'm doing this."

Jay laughed and pat Sean on the back, "She's going to love it, man."

Sean nodded, "Now, I just have to come up with a proposal plan."

The jeweler smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll come up with something nice."

Sean smiled and took a deep breath.

Meanwhile, at the house, Emma stood up and said, "I'm in the mood for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Would you like one too?"

Drew shrugged and said, "Sure."

"Okay. I will be right back."

While Emma went into the kitchen to make the sandwiches for herself and Drew, Drew continued texting with Oliver.

"Btw, my mom found the White Claws cans in my room and got pissed at me." Drew read the message and cringed. Then Oliver texted, "But you're still allowed to come to the sleepover for my birthday." Drew exhaled and smiled. He looked forward to Oliver's birthday sleepover. He was just hoping Oliver's mom wouldn't call Emma and tell her about the White Claw. Drew didn't even realize it was an alcoholic drink until it was too late.

He wrote back to Oliver, "Your mom isn't going to tell my mom, is she? I really can't get in trouble this weekend."

Oliver wrote back, "Nah, You're fine. I promised her we'd never do it again."

Emma walked back in with the sandwiches, "Here you go, sweetie."

"Thanks, mom." He turned his phone over and grabbed his plate.

Emma sat down and asked, "So, how are you feeling?"

"I'd say I'm about 90%."

"That's great! Maybe you'll be able to go with your father to work after all."

Drew smiled, "I hope so. I want to learn more about fixing cars."

Emma smiled at her son, then took a bite of her sandwich. She nodded and said, "Oh yeah. That hit the spot."

Drew laughed, and he and Emma ate their lunch together.

When Sean and Jay returned from their trip to the jewelry store, Jay was filling in Pete on what happened. Sean took the printout of the drawing of Emma's ring, looked at it one last time then put it into his wallet. Jay told Pete about how much the ring cost, and Sean shook his head laughing.

Pete whistled. "Wow."

Sean said, "Look, I intend for this to be the only time I'm ever engaged, so I want it to be special for Emma."

Pete held up his hands and said, "I get it. I really do. And if I had someone in my life that I loved as much as you love Emma, I'd probably do the same thing."

Jay joked and said, "I think we may need to help the boss man come up with a good proposal plan."

Sean laughed, "Oh yeah?"

Jay nodded, "Yeah."

"You don't think I can come up with something on my own?"

"I think you can, but I think you'd prefer it if you had some help."

"Well, we all can't be like you and do it on a whim."

Pete laughed, "I still can't believe you proposed to your girl in Sean's hospital room."

Sean chimed in and said, "And without a ring."

Jay shook his head, "It's your son's fault."

Sean laughed and said, "Hey, don't blame my kid."

Jay looked at Sean and said, "Seriously, Drew's a good kid, but he did have a lot to do with why I proposed. He pointed out that we were wasting time."

Sean nodded, "He's pretty observant."

"He certainly is." Jay smiled at Sean and said, "You're a great dad."

"Thanks."

"And I'm not surprised at all. I always knew you would be."

"Oh?"

Jay nodded, "Yeah. I figured you'd learn from the mistakes you made as a teenager."

"Oh, I did." Sean shook his head, "I told Drew everything."

"You did?"

Sean nodded, "And he said he's still proud to be my son."

Jay smiled and asked, "Does he hate me now?"

Sean laughed and said, "No! Of course not." He grabbed a wrench and asked, "And how about you? Are you looking forward to being a dad?"

"I am. I mean, I don't know how soon that's going to happen with Manny and her career."

Sean nodded.

"But, I'll wait."

Sean smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop yapping and get as much work done on this car as we can today. I want it done by Monday afternoon."

Jay saluted Sean and said, "Aye aye, captain."

Emma sat at her computer and went through her work emails. When she finished, she turned to Drew and said, "I want you to do some of your work tonight."

Drew sighed.

"If you're going to your dad's tomorrow, then going to IKEA and then putting everything together and moving into your new room on Sunday, you'll be too exhausted to do everything Sunday night."

Drew's eyes lit up, "So I can go to work with dad tomorrow?"

"You seem to be feeling well enough to go, so yes, you can go."

He walked over to her and hugged her, "Thank you, mom!"

"You're welcome, kiddo."

He pulled away and said, "I'm so excited!"

Emma smiled, "I'm glad."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Text him and tell him!"

"Okay! Okay..." Emma grabbed her phone and texted Sean, "I'm allowing our son to accompany you to work tomorrow." She sent the text and waited for Sean's response. She said to Drew, "I told him."

"Good." Drew smiled, "I will do my work tonight."

Emma laughed, "Well, you don't have to do all of it. I just want to make sure you don't wait until the last minute. Plus, you have Mr. Del Rossi's make up test to worry about."

Drew cringed and said, "I nearly forgot about that. I would have taken the real test already by now if I were in school." Drew picked up his phone and texted Maddie, "I'm going to text Maddie and see how she thought it was."

"You read the book. You should be fine."

"I know, but I still want to know how it went."

Maddie felt her phone buzz and grabbed it out of her bag. She smiled when she saw Drew's message. She wrote back, "If you read the book, you'll have no problem with the test, but if you still need me to help, I can come over this weekend."

Drew said to Emma, "Maddie offered to help me, but she also said that if I read the book, I'll know what I'm doing."

"I'm perfectly fine with Maddie coming over. She can come over Sunday for dinner if you want."

"Okay, cool." Drew texted her back and waited for her response.

"And things are still okay with you two?"

"Yes, mom. Everything's fine."

Emma smiled, "Good."

Sean was so busy he didn't feel his phone vibrate in his pocket, so he didn't see Emma's message until nearly an hour after she said it. "Shit." He typed back, "Sorry, I was so busy working on the car. I didn't even feel my phone vibrate. Tell Drew I'm excited that he's coming into work with me." He looked at Jay, "Drew is coming in tomorrow. He's well enough to leave the house."

"Good!"

Sean smiled, "Yeah, I'm glad. He would have been so bummed if he couldn't make it in."

"Maybe you can fill him in on your plans with Emma's ring."

Sean nodded, "Yep. I will. After work. we're all going to IKEA after work so he can pick out new furniture for his new room and so Emma can get some organizational stuff for our closet."

Jay looked at Pete, "Sean and Emma are giving Drew the basement."

"Not the whole basement."

Jay scoffed, "Oh, please, he's going to have the run of that basement, and you know it."

Sean chuckled, 'You're right. But he's 14 now, and he doesn't always want to be around his parents."

"That's a great room."

"Oh, I know."

Jay asked, "Have we both had sex in that room?"

Sean laughed, "Yes."

Pete said, "Well, at least it wasn't at the same time."

Sean and Jay both shuddered at the thought of having sex at the time in the same room and went back to work. Pete just laughed.

Just before 4:30, Archie knocked on the front door to Emma's house, and Emma got up to answer the door.

When she opened the door, he smiled and said, "Hello!" Emma laughed at him, and he asked, "Why are you laughing at me?"

Emma let him inside and said, "You're just so chipper."

"Can you blame me? It's Friday, and my work is done for the week."

"Okay, I can see why you're so happy."

Archie looked at Drew and said, "Hello, kiddo."

"Hi, grandpa." Drew walked over to him, and Archie handed him his folder of work.

"You look a lot better."

"I feel a lot better." Drew thumbed through it, "This doesn't look too bad."

"It's not. And Mr. Perino said that since you and Oliver were both sick this week, you don't have to do your presentation until next Thursday, so you'll have plenty of time to work on it together."

Drew didn't want to seem too happy about that in front of his grandpa, so he just nodded and said, "Cool."

Archie stayed for a few minutes. Emma told him about her work news, and he was very excited, "Em, that's great!"

Emma nodded, "Yeah, I know, but now they're going to expect that level of performance all the time."

Archie smiled and said, "You can do it." He looked at Drew, "So, you're going to work with your dad tomorrow?"

Drew nodded, "Yes, and I get to see Drake's car in person!"

Archie shook his head then looked at Emma, "Did you ever notice that Drake looks a lot like Jimmy Brooks?"

"It's funny you said that. Jimmy and his wife are clients of mine."

"Really? That is pretty funny. How's he doing?"

"He's doing well enough to be looking at $7 million houses with elevators."

Archie whistled. "Wow."

Emma nodded, "I know."

After Archie left, Emma said to Drew, "Your father is supposed to be bringing home pizza for dinner tonight. Is that okay?"

Drew nodded, "Perfect."

"Let me text him and remind him. I know he's been busy all day, and I wouldn't be surprised if he forgot that he offered to do this."

Sean's phone vibrated, and he looked at Emma's message. He did forget about the pizza. And he admitted it to her in his first text, and then immediately followed it up with a second text that asked what kind of pizza they wanted.

Emma texted back, "The usual."

Sean smiled and wrote back, "Okay. I should be home by 6:30. I'll let you know if I'm running late."

Emma looked at Sean's message and wrote back, "Sounds good. I love you."

"I love you too." Sean put his phone away and said, "I adore that woman."

Jay smiled.

"I think I'll pick up some flowers with dinner tonight."

"Speaking of flowers, what kind of wedding does Em want?"

"She said she keeps changing her mind. I said I don't care. I'll show up wherever she wants me."

"I think you should go all out and have a big bash."

Sean raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

"Come on. It's Sean and Emma. People have been waiting for this for decades."

Sean laughed and said, "Oh, whatever. Get back to work."

Emma and Drew were at Emma's computer, looking at the IKEA site together.

"How about this?"

Drew looked at the desk and nodded, "I like that. Maybe I can get it in gray."

Emma nodded, "Yep, it comes in gray."

"I'll want to look at it first and see if it works for me, but that's pretty cool."

Emma smiled, clicked her mouse a couple of times, and said, "And how about this? It looks like it holds a lot. It comes in the same color as the desk."

'That's perfect."

"I think I want to turn your current room into an exercise room."

"Not an office?"

"Nah, I can do that with the front room."

Drew asked, "Don't you and dad want more kids?"

Emma smiled and said, 'Yes, we do."

"Well, then don't you need a bedroom?"

"We can turn the middle room into a nursery if we need to. And I can turn the front room into a guest room slash office. We'll just move the stuff from the basement into that room."

"Mom, I have to tell you something."

Emma turned to him and said, "Okay, what's up?"

"When I was at Oliver's the other day, I drank a White Claw. I honestly didn't even know it was an alcoholic drink until I started feeling a little funny. I didn't even finish it."

Emma smiled and said, "I'm glad you told me."

Drew nodded, "It wasn't even that good."

Emma laughed and said, "Yeah, well, alcohol can be that way."

"So am I going to be in trouble?"

"No, but if you do drink again because you're a teenager and I know teenagers drink." Emma shook her head and said, "Lord knows I did a couple of times. Anyway, just be careful and call me so I can pick you up. And never go by yourself somewhere. Okay?"

Drew nodded, "Okay."

"I drank one time so much, I puked into a wastebasket, and your dad had to hold back my hair."

"Oh yeah?"

Emma nodded, "It wasn't a good night for many reasons. One of our friends died that night."

Drew said, "Whoa."

"Yep. For no good reason. Just some guy from a rival school who decided to stab him in the back."

"Did you see it happen?"

Emma shook her head, "No, but we were all at the hospital waiting for news on him, and when they told us he was gone, it was such a shock."

"I can imagine."

"It was awful. It was our friend J.T."

"Wait, J.T. Yorke?"

"Oh right, the memorial garden." Emma couldn't believe she forgot, "I'm glad it's still there."

Drew shook his head, "You guys went through a lot at Degrassi with the shooting and J.T.'s death."

Emma nodded, "We did."

"I'm glad I haven't gone through anything like that."

"And let's hope you never will."

When Sean finished for the day, he called Emma.

She smiled when she saw it was Sean. "Hey, babe."

"Hello, beautiful. I'm all done with work. I called the pizza place so I can go straight there and pick up dinner."

"Oh, good."

Sean asked, "Do you need anything else while I'm out?"

"No, we're all good here."

"Okay, I'll be home soon."

"See ya then."

Emma ended the phone and said, "Dad's on the way."

"Good. I'm going to take a quick shower."

"Okay, kiddo."

Drew went up to his room and looked around. He smiled because this would be the last weekend in his childhood room. On Sunday, he'd be going into his cool, grown-up room.

Emma got the bottle of wine that she had wanted to open all day and finally cracked it open. She was going to celebrate her sales record and have wine with her dinner and maybe some more after dinner.

Sean arrived home just as Drew was making his way down the stairs. "Hey, dad!"

"Hey, kiddo. You look a lot better."

Drew nodded, "I feel so much better."

"Good."

"Here, I'll take that." He grabbed the pizza box and the bag on top of it.

Sean held the flowers he bought behind his back, "I got us some garlic knots too. I hope that's okay."

Emma walked over to him and smiled, "Yes. It's okay." She kissed him and pulled away, "Hi."

"Hello. I take it you got good news today?"

Emma nodded, "Not only did I finish with the highest numbers of the quarter, but I set a record for the agency."

"Babe, that's amazing!" Sean hugged her, then pulled away, "So it's a good thing I got you these then, huh?"

He held out a small bouquet of flowers. "Sean, these are beautiful, thank you."

"You're welcome. Anyway, we need to celebrate your news!"

Emma smiled and said, "Oh, we are. I already opened some wine." She grabbed him by the hand and walked Sean toward the table. "Sit."

"Let me wash up first." He kissed her nose. "And then I'll be all set."

"Okay."

Sean walked into the powder room and washed his hands.

Emma asked, "So, how did today go?" Emma put the flowers in some water.

"It went well." Sean walked out and over to the kitchen island. "We got a lot of work done. I'm hoping to finish by Monday."

Drew asked, "So will I be watching you work on Drake's car tomorrow?"

"Yes, you will."

"Cool!"

Emma asked, "So would you like some wine with your dinner?"

Sean smiled, "Yes, please."

They got their pizza and drinks and sat down at the dining room table.

Sean raised his glass and looked at Drew, "Let's toast to your mother." Drew raised his pop, and Emma raised her glass of wine. Sean said, "To the best real estate agent in Toronto."

Emma chuckled, "I don't know about that."

"To the best real estate agent in this neighborhood."

"Okay, that I can believe." They all toasted, and Emma smiled, "I'm so glad I have you both in my life."

Sean reached over, placed his hand on hers, and winked at her.

Drew said, "I feel the same way about you guys." He looked at Sean and said, "I'm glad we've gotten to know each other. You're the coolest dad ever."

Sean laughed, "Yeah, well, I've only been doing it a month." He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm sure there will be bumps in the road in the future."

"Well, you're definitely cooler than any of my friends' dads."

"Thank you." He looked at Drew and Emma and smiled, "My life has improved exponentially since you both came into my life."

Emma smiled and rubbed his hand.

He looked at Drew and said, "I am proud to be your dad."

Drew smiled then asked, "So when are you two getting married?"

"Well, there's that whole proposal thing that needs to happen first."

Emma shrugged and said, "We don't have to do that if you don't want to."

"Oh, I want to."

"Okay, just don't go too crazy. It's just me."

Sean scoffed, "Just you? You're the love of my life, Em. And I want to do everything properly." Emma smiled. "I'm serious."

"I know you are."

After a few moments of quiet, Drew asked, "Do you think I'll ever find someone who will love me like you love each other?"

Sean looked at Emma then looked at Drew and said, "I'm not going to make any guarantees because you never know what will happen, but I will say that I hope you do because it's the best feeling in the world to know that you have someone who will walk to the end of the earth with you."

Drew nodded.

Emma smiled and squeezed Sean's hand.

"Oh, so dad, mom wants to turn my room into a workout room."

Sean looked at Emma, "Oh yeah?"

"Yep. I figured I could buy a Peloton bike, you could put some weights in there for you, and there will still be room for me to do some yoga."

"You do yoga?"

"I've been slacking off in recent weeks, but yes, I do."

"That sounds cool. Where will you have your office?"

"I figured the front room is bigger so it can be an office and a guest room. I'd love to put a murphy bed in there eventually. For now, we'll just move Drew's current bed in there."

Sean laughed, "We're going to be moving and putting together a lot of stuff this weekend, huh?"

Emma nodded.

"Maybe I'll see if Jay can come over and help on Sunday. I'll pay him in beer or something."

"Good idea."
