Hey guys – this time I promise there will be more with Teri/Jack and Chase/Kim – I guess that's all u needa know! Please R&R!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey everybody! Thanks for inviting me for dinner – um Nina couldn't ah um make it...we kinda had a bit of a fight...So what's up with you guys?" Tony said quickly changing the subject.

Tony made his way over to the couch and plopped down next to Michelle.

"Hey Michelle, how's it going?"

"Dinner time!" Teri called from the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thanks for dinner!" Michelle called as she was heading out the door "It was delicious!"

"I'd better get going too Mom, Chase and I still have a movie to see!" Kim said as she smiled over at her boyfriend Chase.

"Bye Kim honey, see you later" Teri said as she hugged her daughter.

"Well I guess I better get going as well. Dinner was great, thanks for inviting me Jack and Teri." Tony gratefully commented.

Just like that everybody had left and now it was just Teri, Jack and Daniel.

"Be right back....just going to run Dan up to bed and than we'll be alone." Jack said as he smiled and winked at his wife.

Its not very often we're alone anymore with Dan and Kim always around and my work though Jack as he put Dan's pajamas on him.

After Jack put Dan's pajamas on he tucked him to bed, read him a quick story, kissed him goodnight he ran down the stairs to find Teri waiting for him on the couch.

"Hey Hun...Did you get Dan in bed okay?"

"Yup! He's out like a light! What did you do today?"

"Well since Michelle took Dan to the doctor's I read the book I started reading but never get a chance to read it anymore because Dan always wants my attention – I used to have time but not anymore because Dan doesn't take naps in the afternoon anymore."

They continued talking about little things for about 10 minutes until Jack leaned over and kissed his wife.

Michelle left the Bauer residence and headed home. On her way home she thought about everything Tony has said that night.

She thought about the way he looked, the way he talked, the way he ate dinner, the way he did everything, what he was wearing, everything possible, she liked him so much and everything he said and did at dinner added to her list of why she liked him.

She liked him so much. It was than she decided to try and get over him and find herself a boyfriend because she had no chance with him ever.

Maybe if I find a boyfriend I will fall in love with him and will forget about my huge crush on Tony, because that's all it is, just a crush she told herself over and over again in her head.

Just a crush, nothing more – Just a crush, nothing more...

When she got home she went straight to her bedroom, and got into her bed. She thought again about the night, and how she never had a chance with Tony.

Thinking about these things made her sad and she cried herself to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Chase, that was a better movie than I thought it would be, I'm glad you talked me into it!" She said as she smiled at him. She than put her hand in his and pulled him closer.

"I'm glad you let me talk you into it!" Chase replied as he bent down to kiss his girlfriend.

When they arrived home, Chase left again to take the babysitter home while Kim stayed with Baby Angela. She went up to her room to check on her.

As soon as Kim opened the door to go into Angela's room, Angela opened her eyes and smiled at Kim. Angela was just over a year old now and she loved Kim very much, Kim was so kind to her.

Teri suddenly pulled away from Jack's arms. "Jack, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything hunny!"

"Why did you date Nina? What did you see in her?
