CD was still unpacking her stuff when she noticed Nate walking in. But she ignored him since he'd said so many 'bad' things about her.

He walked up to her and leaned in, wanting a kiss.

"Don't you dare ... " she said teasingly.

"What?" He pouted. "Awww mean!"

"Blondie, huh?" She said not turning around to face him.

"Yeah well..." He stroked through her hair. "And don't you dare change that."

"Oh, I just decided to color it black tomorrow ... " Now she finally turned around and grinned.

"Oh you!" He leaned in to kiss her but then something caught his eye. "Awww, now how cute is this? CD DeLorenzo has a teddybear!" He picked it up. "Does it have a name?"

"Actually no, it's just 'teddy'. Give it back to me! Hey!" She reached for it but Nate wouldn't let her get it.

Nate held it up as high as he could. "Nuh uh. Teddy wants to stay with Nate." He grinned.

"No, he doesn't!" CD started chasing after Nate. "Give teddy back to me! He feels uncomfortable around men!"

"Not around me" Nate grinned and kicked his shoes off and jumped on her bed. "Teddy and I are having fun here."

"Hey, if you don't give him back to me, Teddy will be the only one having fun in this bed from now on!" CD grinned and jumped on the bed too.

"Oh really? I bet you you want me in this bed again before the day is over. But I'm the one who won't give in then! There!" He stuck his tongue out at her and jumped off the bed and ran outside. "Where's Teddy now, eh?" He called out.

"Who had to go to the bathroom an hour ago?" She shouted after him and followed him. "Give Teddy back to me, come on, Nate!"

Jinny looked up when she was sure she had heard Nate ask her about Teddy. "What?" She wondered why he would bring him up so out of the blue and walked outside just in time to see Nate jump over the couch.... holding a teddy... the plushy fuzzy kind... high above his head and CD chasing him.

"Nate, would you please ... ?" CD said still running after him.

"So? Everybody needs a bathroom every now and then!" Nate smirked and jumped down from the couch again and ran up the stairs that led to the nice little roof deck. "Teddy wants to learn to fly!" He called out.

"Nate, don't you dare ... " Somehow she panicked. That gave her strenghth once more and finally she got him. Lika a football player she pushed him down on the ground, not hard, the soft version and she herself landed on him. "Will you give me Teddy back now?" she asked smiling.

"And they call me crazy." Jinny muttered and followed them.

"You wanna play football? Okay." Nate grinned and tossed Teddy at Jinny who caught the poor little thing. "Aww how cute. So this is Teddy, eh?" She had to grin and thought she only knew one Teddy who she thought was cuter.

"Argh." CD was frustrated now so she softly slammed her fist into Nate's belly. Then she got up. "Yeah, that's Teddy, for God's sake. Can I have him back now please?"

Jinny just handed him over. "I have a stuffed wolf still." She confessed.

That made CD smile again. "Really? Cute!"

"Mine's a horse." Nate grinned and got up and rubbed his belly. "And that hurt!"

"It was supposed to!" CD answered and went back to her bedroom. She wasn't done with her stuff yet.

Jinny laughed and shook her head. "I feel like I'm babysitting Ben here.... no wait... you two are worse." She teased them before going back into her own room and once there took out her wolf and hugged him, a broad grin plastered on her face. She couldn't believe it but she was happy. And one thing was certain: they'd have a lot of fun here together, she just knew it. Though somehow she wondered why it felt like Nate was moving in with them too.
