After a pleasant family dinner, Drew excused himself from the table. "I should get started on my work for the weekend."

Emma smiled, "Okay, sweetie. Let us know if you need any help."

They all got up from the table, and Drew turned back to his parents. "I will." He looked at Sean and said, "I'm excited about tomorrow."

Sean stood up and smiled, "I am too, kiddo. It'll be great."

Drew headed upstairs, and Sean wrapped his arm around Emma's waist. "I really do love that kid."

Emma turned to him and kissed him, "He really loves you too."

"And you?"

"I really really love you."

Sean laughed, kissed her quickly, and asked, "So, what would you like to do?"

She turned to him and said, "I would like to relax on the couch with you and watch T.V. for a while. But first, I need to put these dishes in the dishwasher."

"I'll help."

Sean and Emma grabbed the plates and glasses and walked over to the dishwasher. Emma opened it, and Sean handed her everything. "Thanks for helping."

"Might as well make myself useful."

Emma smiled and kissed him. "You are always useful."

They walked hand-in-hand into the living room and over to the couch. Sean sat first, and Emma curled up against him. He asked, "Are you still under the weather?"

Emma laughed, "Yes, but it's winding down. I should be free and clear by Sunday."

"Oh, good."

She smiled and said, "I could always help you out in the meantime, you know."

Sean laughed, "That's okay."

She asked, "Are you sure? Because I don't mind."

"I know you don't." He held her hand and said, "I can survive without sex for a few more days. I'm not a horny teenage boy anymore."

"No," She caressed his face, "You're not."

Sean kissed Emma, pulled away, and said, "Sometimes I can't believe this is all happening."

"Me neither."

"I see you and I see our son every day and I still think I'm going to wake up and it will all be a dream."

"It's not a dream. It's all real and we couldn't be happier that you're here with us, Sean." Sean smiled and kissed Emma again. When they pulled away she smiled and said, "I'll make sure we have fun on Sunday night."

Sean said, "We may be too tired to do anything on Sunday night."

Emma nodded and said, "Ooh, right. Moving day. Monday morning?"

"It's a date."

"I can't wait."

Emma turned on the T.V., and after a few moments of watching another home improvement show, Sean asked, "So how come you don't watch those Housewives shows in front of me?"

She turned to him and said, "Drew told you, huh?"

Sean smiled, "Babe, it's fine if you want to watch them. We don't always have to watch HGTV."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Even though I think I could probably flip an entire house now."

Emma joked and said, "The housewives flip tables instead of houses." Sean laughed and Emma changed the channel, "They're my guilty pleasure."

"I've seen them while flipping through the channels on weekends. It just seems like it's a lot of yelling and so much plastic surgery."

Emma laughed and said, "Pretty much. They're just so always made up. They're never without their fake lashes, they're always wearing tons of eye makeup, their hair is always perfect, and they're always decked out in fancy clothes. Especially the ones in Beverly Hills. Honestly, I can't imagine wearing that much makeup every day."

"Well, you're lucky. You look beautiful without makeup." Emma scoffed, and Sean said, "You do."

"You always know what to say."

"It's the truth."

About 20 minutes later, while two of the housewives were screaming at each other onscreen, Drew peeked down the stairs and asked, "Hey dad, can you come up here for a sec?"

"Sure, buddy." Sean got up and walked over to the stairs.

Emma said, "I wonder what he wants."

Sean laughed and said, "I hope he doesn't need help with his math homework." Emma giggled, and Sean walked up the stairs. When he got to Drew's doorway, he asked, "What's up, kiddo?"

"What time are we heading to the garage tomorrow?"

"Early. Be ready by 7:45."

"Okay."

Sean cocked his head to the side and asked, "Is that all you wanted?"

"No."

Sean walked over toward Drew's bed, sat down at the foot of it, and said, "What's going on?"

"I'm taking a break from work and wanted to show you what I want to get for my room."

"Oh!" Sean leaned forward to look at Drew's computer screen. "It'll be good to know in advance just how much time I'll be spending putting things together."

"I can help you."

"I'm counting on that." Sean smiled and said, "Remind me to bring some tools home tomorrow."

Drew nodded, "I will."

After Drew showed Sean everything he wanted, Sean said, "It just so happens I have something to show you as well."

"Oh yeah?"

Sean nodded, "Yep." He took out his wallet and gave Drew the folded up drawing of Emma's ring. "Here."

Drew opened it up, examined the picture, and he asked, "Is this what I think it is?"

"It is."

"Wow," Drew smiled, "This is amazing, dad."

Sean asked, "So, you think she'll like it?"

Drew nodded, "I think she'll love it."

"I'm getting it custom-made, so it won't be ready for at least two weeks, which gives me plenty of time to come up with a proposal plan."

Drew said, "Lucky for you, I'm sleeping over at Oliver's in a couple of weeks, so you'll have the house to yourselves."

Drew handed the picture back to Sean, and Sean put it back into his wallet. "By the way, if you have any ideas, let me know."

"I'm sure whatever you do will be great, dad."

Sean took a deep breath and said, "You know, I'm a little more nervous about this than I thought I'd be."

"Why? Mom's going to say yes."

"Oh, I'm not worried about that. I just want to make everything perfect for her."

Drew nodded and said, "You will. I know it."

"Thanks, kiddo. You always know the right thing to say."

Drew sighed and said, "Not always."

"What's wrong?"

He shrugged, "I just... I don't know. I hate liking someone and not knowing if they return the feelings, you know?"

Sean nodded, "I know."

"Sometimes, I just want to tell Oliver how I feel and get it over with."

Sean asked, "And other times?"

"I never want to tell him. Ever. And I want to forget I ever liked him."

"Easier said than done, kiddo."

Drew nodded, "I know. I just don't want this to ruin our friendship."

Sean nodded, then said, "Look, we're going to have a good weekend. You're coming to the shop. You're going to see Drake's insane whip." Drew smiled. "We're going to IKEA and picking out cool stuff for your new room. You're moving into your new room." Drew nodded and Sean said, "So don't stress about Oliver so much, okay?"

Drew nodded again and smiled, "Okay."

Sean smiled and said, "I'll leave you to your work." He stood up and walked over to Drew's door.

"Thanks, dad."

"You're welcome."


Later that night, Sean and Emma were in their room, getting ready for bed when Sean looked at her.

"Yes?"

"Those housewives are out of control." Emma laughed and threw a pillow at him. Sean caught it and smiled, "I'm serious! But I can see why you watch it. It is entertaining."

"See?"

Sean handed the pillow back to her and climbed into the bed. "Yes. Just don't make me watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians."

"How do you even know about it?"

"I was home one Sunday, flipping through the channels, and I put it on to make fun of them then ended watching about six hours of it."

Emma laughed and asked, "Are you serious?"

Sean nodded, "It was a dark day."

Emma put the last pillow into her cabinet and climbed into the bed, shut off her lamp, and snuggled next to Sean. "I'm glad it's the weekend, and I'm glad Drew is feeling better."

"Me too. I'm excited to take him into work tomorrow."

"And he's excited to go in with you."

Sean smiled and kissed her hair.

Emma asked, "Wanna talk until we fall asleep?"

"Sure."

"Okay."

"I'll start. I love being here with you and Drew. I feel like my life is finally complete."

Emma looked at him and smiled, "Yeah?"

"Well, okay, not yet because it won't be complete until we're married and legally a family, but it's pretty damn close."

"I know. I keep changing my mind, but I think I want to have a big wedding."

"Yeah?"

Emma nodded, "Yes."

"Where would you want to do it?"

"I don't know yet, but I want to wear a nice dress and walk down the aisle, say my vows to you in front of our friends and family." Sean laced his fingers with Emma and kissed her hand. "And then I want the minister or whoever is performing the ceremony to say, 'I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride,' and then we'll kiss for, oh, I don't know, five minutes and we'll officially be Mr. and Mrs. Sean and Emma Cameron."

"Five minutes, huh?"

Emma laughed, "Okay, maybe two minutes."

"I'd love that."

She asked, "So you wouldn't mind a big wedding?"

"Nope. I already told you I'd do whatever you want me to do."

"I just can't wait to see you all dressed up in a tuxedo."

He smiled and said, "You know I'll probably cry as soon as I see you walking down the aisle."

"You think so?"

Sean nodded and said, "I know so. I'll probably be emotional during the entire ceremony."

Emma kissed him and smiled, "Me too."

"And with our son being my best man. It'll just be a full-on crying fest."

Emma laughed, "I'll be sure to wear waterproof mascara."

"Speaking of our son, this stuff with Oliver is weighing heavily on his mind and I tried to get him to forget about it. At least for the weekend."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. I told him to focus on how great this weekend is going to be. He seemed to listen to me."

Emma sighed, "I just don't want him to get hurt."

"Neither do I."

"But there's a strong possibility of it happening."

Sean nodded, "I know."

"We're so lucky to have you here with us now."

Sean smiled, "Thank you."

"I mean it. You're a great father, and you always seem to know the right things to say to our son."

"Well, I just think back to how I was at that age and think about what I would and what I wouldn't want to hear."

Emma smiled and kissed him, "You're amazing."

"No, you're amazing."

Emma shook her head, kissed him again, then said, "No, you're amazing."


The next morning, Drew woke up at 7 and headed straight for the shower. Sean smiled when he heard the water running on the second floor. He had gotten up at 6:30 and showered right away, so he was already dressed and ready for work.

Emma stirred and opened her eyes, "Hey."

"Hey, beautiful."

She sat up and stretched, "What time is it?"

"It's a little after 7."

Emma groaned, laid back down, and hugged her pillow, "It's too early to be up on a Saturday."

Sean laughed, "Go back to sleep."

"You don't want breakfast?"

"We can pick something up on the way." He kissed her head, "Seriously, go back to sleep, okay?"

She smiled, closed her eyes, and said, "Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

Sean grabbed his wallet, his phone, and he walked down to the main level. He made some coffee for himself, and he waited for Drew to come downstairs. Sean was looking through his phone and nearly done with his coffee when he heard Drew's footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Hey, buddy."

"Hey."

Sean asked, "So are you excited about today?"

Drew barely mumbled, "Yes."

Sean laughed, "You don't sound very excited."

"I think I might still be asleep."

Sean stood up, "Oh, okay." He grabbed his cup of coffee and asked, "Are you all set?"

Drew nodded.

"Cool. We'll go to Tim Horton's first, pick up some breakfast for you, and get some TimBits for the guys." Sean grabbed his jacket, opened the front door, and let Drew walk out in front of him. He couldn't help but smile at his half-asleep teenage son dragging his feet along the concrete walkway.


After going to Tim Horton's, Sean pulled up to the shop, shut off his truck, and looked at Drew. He asked, "Are you awake now, kiddo?"

Drew laughed, "Yes."

They got out of the truck and walked up to the shop. Sean unlocked the door to the shop and let Drew inside. After Sean closed the front door, he turned on all the lights in the lobby of the shop then walked toward his office. Drew walked ahead of him and looked around the shop for Drake's car. Sean smiled and said, "It's in the back."

Drew blushed, "Oh, okay."

"Don't worry. You'll see it soon enough." Sean opened his office door and walked over to his desk. "Shit, I forgot the TimBits. Be right back." Sean jogged out to his truck and grabbed the TimBits from the backseat of his truck. When he walked back into his office, Drew was sitting at the desk and already eating his breakfast. "By the way, I didn't mean to say that word. I meant to say shoot."

Drew laughed, "Dad, I've heard people use that word before."

"I know, but I shouldn't talk that way in front of you. Not yet, anyway." He sat down, looked at Drew, and watched as Drew ate his breakfast. Sean smiled proudly at his son and started his work for the day. He turned on his computer and said, "I wanted to get in a little early so I could finish up some paperwork."

Drew nodded, "Okay."

"Plus, if I finish it now, we can leave here on time and head to IKEA."

"We're picking up mom first though, right?"

Sean nodded, "Yes. And we'll take my truck so we can just load everything into the back."

"Cool."

"Hey, bossman." Pete peeked into Sean's office, "Hey, Drew!"

Drew answered with a slightly unenthusiastic, "Hi."

Sean joked, "He's still a little tired."

Pete laughed and said, "Yeah, me too."

Sean laughed and pointed at the box of donuts on his desk, "Here, I got some TimBits for the guys."

"Cool." Pete walked over and grabbed the box. "I'll put it in the shop. I got myself a greasy bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from a place around the corner from my house."

"That sounds good."

"It is. I didn't want to finish it."

Sean smiled and said, "Ah it was one of those sandwiches, huh?"

Pete nodded.

Drew asked, "Was it the kind of sandwich that is so good it makes you sad to get the last bite?"

Pete nodded again and said, "Exactly. I almost bought a second one but decided against it."

Sean laughed and said, "Yeah that's a little too much cholesterol for one morning." He looked at his screen and said, "I just have a couple of work orders to look through, and then we'll be ready to get to work."

Pete looked at Drew and asked, "Are you going to help us with Drake's whip?"

Drew shook his head, "No way. I'll just watch you guys. I don't want to screw up anything."

Sean smiled, "You won't screw anything up. We'll tell you exactly what to do."

Drew smiled at his dad and said, "Okay."


Emma woke up for the day around 8:45. She texted Sean and said, "Hope everything is going okay."

Sean, who was busy inside Drake's car, felt his phone vibrate. He pulled it out, looked at Emma's message, and smiled. He wrote back, "Everything's great. We should be getting out of here on time, but I'll let you know if anything changes."

Emma wrote back, "Okay." She got out of bed, walked downstairs, and made herself some coffee. She planned on going into the office for an hour or two to go through her paperwork and work on any new listing that have come her way.

Sean put his phone away and got back to work on Drake's car. He showed Drew everything he was doing. Drew sat in awe as he watched Sean, Pete, and Jay transform Drake's car.

"Wow."

Sean smiled and said, "Looks good, right?"

Drew nodded, "It does. When do you think you'll be done?"

Jay said, "Hopefully, by Monday evening."

"Yep. Oh, by the way, Hogart, you have plans tomorrow."

"I do?"

Sean nodded, "You do. You're helping me and Drew move some furniture."

"Oh! Okay."

Drew asked, "You mean you'll do it?"

"As long as there's some beer involved, sure!"

Sean shook his head and smiled. He knew it wouldn't take much for Jay to say yes.

Drew said, "Cool, thanks!"

"You're so lucky having that whole basement to yourself." Jay looked at Sean and said, "Soon, he'll be sneaking girls down there." Sean and Drew shared a look, and Jay asked, "What?"

Drew shook his head, "Nothing."

"You're not interested in any girls at Degrassi?"

"Not really."

Jay smiled and said, "The girl that was at your party was pretty cute."

"Maddie?" Jay nodded and Drew said, "She has a crush on me, but I don't like her in that way. I like being friends with her."

"I see." Jay looked at Sean, who was looking at Jay, "You have plenty of time for that. I mean, we can't all be like your dad and know who the love of your life is at 13."

Sean laughed, "Yeah, it took Jay a little longer than that."

Drew didn't say anything.

Sean asked, "Is everything okay, kiddo?"

He nodded.

Jay said, "Drew, I was just kidding around with you."

"I know. It's just that—" He stopped himself and looked at Sean, who smiled at his son. Drew took a deep breath and said to Jay, "I don't like girls."

Jay looked at Sean first. Sean nodded then Jay looked at Drew and smiled, "So have any guys caught your eye?"

"Maybe."

"But you haven't told him."

"God, no. I don't want him to hate me."

Jay nodded, "So you don't think he likes you in that way?"

"I have no idea, and it sucks."

"Yeah, like sometimes you get mixed signals, or you mistake a gesture of friendship for something more. It's all the same, you know. With boys and with girls." Jay smiled, "Love is a battlefield, kiddo."

Sean laughed and said, "Okay, Pat Benatar."

Drew asked, "Who's that?"

Pete laughed and said, "God, we're so old."

Drew looked at Jay and asked, "So you don't think any less of me?"

Jay scoffed, "Are you kidding? I think you're brave. You should probably be in our wedding party since you're the one who convinced me to propose to Manny."

"Really?"

Jay nodded, "Yeah! You can be a groomsman, and your dad will be my best man."

"That'll be so cool!"

Sean winked at Jay, and Jay smiled.

Drew excused himself, "I'll be right back."

"Okay, kiddo." Sean watched Drew walk to the shop's locker room, then he looked at Jay and said, "Thank you, man."

"For what?"

"For being so understanding."

Jay said, "Come on. I'm not an asshole teenager anymore. I wouldn't ever be a jerk to Drew about anything. And I meant what I said; he's really fucking brave."

Sean nodded, "We just worry about him getting hurt, you know?"

"Well, you'd be worried if he was straight, too, right?"

Sean shrugged, "I don't know. If he were straight, I'd be more worried about him breaking some poor girl's heart. Jesus, that's awful for me to say, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's awful."

Sean took a deep breath then said, "What I mean is not everyone will be as accepting as we are, and that's what worries me the most. I know things have progressed a lot since we were in high school, but I still worry about him. Teenagers and some adults can be real jackasses."

Jay nodded, "I get it."

"I just want him to be safe and okay."

"I know you do."

Jay smiled at Sean, and Sean raised an eyebrow then asked, "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you're an incredible father, Cameron, and I'm proud to call you my friend."

"Thank you."

"I mean it, man. You are so good with Drew. You're a natural."

Sean smiled and noticed Drew walking back toward them, "Hey, kiddo. You want to grab me that wrench over there?"

Drew held one up and said, "This one?"

Sean nodded, "Yep, that one." Drew walked over and handed it to him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."
