After talking with her parents Anna called the firehouse and left a message with Lt. D'Angelo whose in charge of the shift before hers. She then got back into her car and drove to Maggie Davis's house, because she needed to talk to someone.

Knocking on the front door rather self consciously, with tears streaming down her face. Then Maggie opened the door. " Anna honey, what's wrong?"

" He hates me, I really disappointed him." Anna sobs.

Before even asking her what she's talking about Maggie leads her into the living room where she sits her onto the couch. " Ok, start at the beginning and tell me what's wrong."

" Last night Ty and I got into another fight about telling my parents that we're together. Well, I promised him that I would tell them today, at our monthly parent daughter lunch and as you've probably guessed already the news didn't go over to well. I think my mom's ok with Ty and I being together, but my dad went off the deep end."

" Oh, honey I'm so sorry things didn't go better." Maggie said taking the young woman she thought of as a daughter in her arms, trying to get her to stop crying.

Anna stayed with Maggie for a couple of hours talking about the things in her life. She also talked with Maggie about her relationship with Ty, and how she didn't know where it was going or if it was even going to last since they seemed to be fighting all the time lately. Maggie then pointed out to her that all relationships have their ups and downs, so just because they were going through a rough patch now didn't mean that they wouldn't make it.

That night Ty showed up at Anna's apartment.

" I stopped by the house after work tonight but Kim said that you called in sick. Are you ok?" he asked while hanging up his jacket in the hall closet.

" I'm fine, just after the confrontation with my dad this morning I wasn't in the right frame of mind to be working." together they walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Ty sat down first pulling Anna onto his lap, she leaned her head on his shoulder and the back of the couch, while Ty had his arms around her waist holding her close.

" So what happened?"

" I got there and told them that I wanted to stay in and eat at the house because I needed to tell them something. I told them that I'd met this great guy, and that I love him with all my heart" she said smiling " mom asked the usual questions, when, where and how did I meet you. So I told them that we met in high school and hooked up four years ago. The next question came from my dad, he asked me what you do for a living, and when I told him things went downhill. He got this really disappointed look on his face and started yelling saying I should know better than to date a cop." by this point tears were sliding down her face, so Ty held her tighter " The worst part is I've never seen dad that disappointed."

Ty honestly didn't know what to tell her because he felt that this whole situation was his fault. If he hadn't pushed her so hard she wouldn't be sitting in his lap crying. " Baby I'm so sorry."

Anna turned in his embrace so that she could look into his eyes " This isn't your fault, I had to tell them. We both know that if I'd waited any longer things would just be that much more difficult." taking a deep breath before continuing " Just promise me it was worth it."

" Hey I love you. Ok let me up for a minute, I just want to get something out of my jacket." So Anna slid off of his lap so he could get up. He quickly returned and knelt in front of her taking her hand in his. " Anna I love you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with you making smile and happy. We've been through a lot and I believe we can get past anything so will you marry me and make me the happiest man in the world?"

Anna sat there n shock for a minute before she mumbled the word " yes" and hugged him tears of joy sliding down her face covering the ones she had shed in sorrow. After they were done hugging Ty took the ring he was holding and slipped it onto her ring finger, after which he first placed a kiss on the palm of her hand before kissing her softly on the lips.

" I actually thought we were drifting apart, especially since we've been fighting so much lately."

" Never, no matter how much we fight or argue I'll always be here for you. Also just for the record this wasn't how I'd planned on proposing, I had originally thought that the next time we both have the weekend off I'd take to this B&B I found upstate for a romantic get away."

" Well as far as I'm concerned this was perfect and if you really wanted to you could still take me to that B&B upstate."

Laughing " alright beautiful you got a deal. Ok here comes my not so subtle change of subject, but what are we having for dinner tonight cause I'm starved."

Getting up from her seat and heading for the kitchen she said " Well you're in luck you have the option between some of your mom's pot roast and lasagna." However when she didn't get an answer from him she turned around and noticed the confused look on his face. " After talking with my parents I was really upset and just started driving next thing I new I was knocking at your mothers front door. We talked for a couple hours and as I was getting ready to leave she offered to give me some food to take home with me, and as you well now I'm not stupid enough to turn down some of your moms home cooked meals.

So together they heated up the food and ate dinner. Afterwards they went into her room and went to sleep. The next morning Ty woke first, he carefully untangled himself from Anna without waking her. He then got dressed and walked over to her desk where he grabbed a pen and some paper.

Anna,

First off ' I love you' . Secondly I'm sorry I won't be there when you wake up, but I have a couple of errands that I need to run before work. But I'll either call you or stop by the house to see you before work.

Love You,

Ty
