Bikky and Carol came home about one am and found Ryo sitting alone in the kitchen with a cup of tea.

"Carol I need to talk to Ryo. I'll be in a little bit. 'Kay?"

She kissed him on the cheek.

"Take your time."

Bikky walked in and sat across from Ryo. He took a deep breath.

"So, whaddya think of the weather?"

Ryo looked at him.

{God. This is harder then I thought.}

"Ryo, I think we should talk."

"About what?"

"About this morning. Dee told me why you acted the way you did."

"Oh did he?"

"Yeah. Don't be mad. I glad he told me. I know you wouldn't have."

"What make you think I wouldn't have?"

"Because you never tell me what's bothering you."

"..."

"You're not going to lose me. I'm your son. You raised me. Other people would have given up hope with me. You didn't. You adopted me. You're my father."

"..."

"Look. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Or even talk to you about the idea of marrying Carol. It just happened. I past a jeweler one day and decided to buy her a ring as a gift. But ended up proposing to her instead."

"..."

"Are you still angry with me?"

"..."

"Please say something."

"You really love her don't you?"

"Yes I do."

"And getting married is really going to make you happy?"

"Yes."

Ryo fell silent. He nodded.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay. Get married. If it's going to make you happy then I'm here for you."

"Really? Does that mean you're not mad at me anymore?"

Ryo smiled and ruffled his son's hair.

"I wasn't mad at you to being with."

"You could've fooled me."

"I'm sorry. But the news of you getting married came as a bit of a shock. I didn't mean to over react."

"It's okay. I can understand. Listen. I'm always going to be your son. And whenever you need me, I'll always come home. Nothing will make me leave you. I love you. And so does Carol."

Ryo smiled.

"I love you Bikky."

He hugged him.

"Yeah," Bikky said hugging him back. "I love you too."

Ryo entered to room to find Dee awake and smiling.

"What?"

"You. I heard the conversation. I told you he wasn't going to leave you."

"I know."

"Come here."

Ryo climbed back into bed next to Dee. Dee puts his arms around him and kissed the top of his head.

"Admit it. You like the idea of a wedding."

"Of course I do, Dee. But it's my son getting married."

"You're baby is all grown up. You must me a proud mother."

"Shut up."

"Okay then I'll be the proud mother. One of us has to wear the dress in the family."

"I thought it was the pants."

"Considering we both do, I'm going with a dress."

"I think you'd look rather sexy in a dress."

"I think I'd look rather scary."

"Only if you don't shave your legs."

"Sorry. That ain't happening."

"Damn. I've always wanted to call you my bitch."

"Ryo!"

Ryo laughed.

"Let's get some sleep. We have work tomorrow."

"Dee get up! We got to get ready for work!" Ryo said shaking him.

Dee groaned and rolled over.

"Can't we just call in sick?"

"No."

Dee pulled Ryo onto the bed with him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Pleeeeeese," Dee pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"No," Ryo laughed.

"Why not?"

Ryo shifted himself around so he faced Dee. He ran his fingers through Dee's hair.

"You're so cute when you beg."

"So does that mean we can stay home?"

"No."

Ryo pulled away from Dee and headed for the kitchen. He paused at the door and turned back to Dee.

"Please be ready in fifteen minuets. I'll have breakfast ready by then."

Dee smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

Ryo headed to the kitchen. Dee groaned and sat up. He stared into space for a couple minutes before heading into the bathroom and getting into the shower. Ten minutes later he strolled into the kitchen and sat down. Ryo sat a plate in front of him.

"Bikky's is leaving tonight. Him and Carol are going back to Manhattan."

"Yeah, I forgot he's a big paying job up there. I was getting use to having the little monkey back in the house."

Ryo grinned then looked at his watched.

"Shit!"

"What's wrong?"

"We're going to be late."

Dee chuckled and got up from the table. They headed off to work.
