A/N: Wow! Did everyone see "Everwood" last night?! It was absolutely THE BEST episode that I've ever seen! Amy and Ephram were so perfect! The humor was great too! Some of my personal favorites were the "camping joke", the snoring conversation, the moment that Harold realized Amy & Ephram slept in the cabin, line about "God punishing them Harold & Rose with Bright"! I wasn't digging the Amanda and Andy thing, though. (I'm an Andy & Nina fan!) But other than that, wow! I LOVED it! colorado2: I totally respect your honesty. Thank you for presenting you opinions in a considerate manner, it means a lot! I'm sorry that the last chapter wasn't your favorite, but hopefully you'll enjoy the upcoming chapters (and hopefully the "series finale") better. kursk: Yep, that's coming right up! lol (The story skips quite a bit ahead in this chapter, to get things moving.) mike: Hey, thanks for taking the time to submit a review! Cap'n Keira Sparrow: I don't really think I will do another season. I'm sorry. But I do have a really happy/sweet "series finale" in store! (I may or may not do other "Everwood" fanfics though. I haven't decided yet.) muse-of-the-fairies: Oh, I see how it is....Someone does one lil' ol' cliffhanger and they can never live it down! LOL Thanks for the review! auggy1984: :) Thanks for reviewing and sticking with this story! BTW, this chapter title is a play on, "The Abbott And Costello Show". (Not sure if I spelt "Costello" right, though.) I know this chapter isn't the greatest, plus it is a short one, but I've got plans for the next chapter and this plays into that.

4.20 The Abbott And Brown Show

----May 5, 2005----

Amy, balancing Julia in one arm and two large grocery bags in the other, shuffled her way up to the front door. She kicked the door with the toe of her shoe, making a clapping noise. "Ephram!" She moved her arm, straining to see what time it was. Great, five-thirty! I'm sure to be late for dinner with my parents. She thought, with a moan. Dad's gonna be so upset! She wrinkled her nose, kicking the door again. "Ephram Brown, get your butt over here to open this door for your daughter and I!" Her arms left like jello right now. "Eph...." To her surprise, the door swung open. "Oh, thank goodness!" She stumbled inside.

"Whoa!" Ephram cried, as she stopped Amy in her tracks. He plucked his baby girl from Amy's grasp and kissed her affectionately on the forehead. "Did someone have fun with Mommy?" He asked, as he shut the door.

Julia cooed and twiddled her tiny fingers.

Amy glared at her daughter's Father. "Oh, so she gets a kiss, but I don't?"

Ephram rolled his eyes and planted a soft kiss on Amy's lips. "Tough day?"

"It was." Amy replied, returning the kiss. "Then I saw you...."

Ephram grinned. "Well..."

"And it just got a little tougher." Amy cut in.

"Hey!"

"Ephram zero, Amy one billion and one." Amy grinned, with a wink.

"Actually, I have one, remember?" Ephram replied, referring to the time when Amy was still pregnant.

Amy rolled her eyes and plopped down on a chair. "Wow...What a day." She waved her hand at the two bags that she'd carried in. "You can put those away, honey."

"Ha ha." Ephram replied, sarcastically. He walked over to Amy and seated himself beside her, while rocking his daughter in his arms. "What's up?"

"What?"

"What's up?"

"Eph, what are you talking about?" Amy asked, confused.

Ephram shrugged. "Everything's been going so fast lately...I just want to take a moment to find out what's going on with you."

Amy twisted a strand of her hair. "I don't even know anymore." She let out a heavy sigh. "Everything just sort of meshes together." She glanced lovingly at her daughter. "I'm just so happy that everything is ok now. Julia is doing good, again."

Ephram nodded. "You know, she's six months old today."

"How could I ever forget?" Amy asked, rhetorically. She stroked her index finger across Julia's cheek. "You were a tough one, Miss Julia."

Julia let out another coo.

"But you sure are worth it." Amy leaned over, giving her daughter a soft kiss on the top of her brunette head. A silence hung in the air.

After a few minutes, the front door burst open and Madison strolled in with Kelly and a handful of mail. "Hey guys!" She greeted, cheerfully. Her cheeks were bright and there was a smile upon her face.

Amy stared curiously at her roommate. "What's with all the happy?"

Madison smiled. "Well, I met this guy today.."

"Cute?" Amy inquired.

Ephram nudged Amy in side.

Amy returned the gesture. "I meant from her point of view."

Madison nodded. "Well, Amy, I was sort of wondering if you could baby-sit Kelly for tonight?"

"What time?"

"Seven to nine, at the latest."

Amy nodded. "Yeah, sure."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Ephram raised an eyebrow. "Is there more?"

"Actually...." Madison replied, as she set Kelly into her carrier. "There is." She shuffled a few envelopes in her fingers and then walked over to the couple. "These came for the two of you, I just got them out of the mail as I was coming in." She handed them two large packages.

Amy and Ephram's eyes lit up. "Oh my God!"

Amy, who had her hands free, snatched up the packages. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been waiting for these to come for the longest time!"

"Hurry, open them!" Ephram urged.

Amy tore open the tape that sealed the back of the first package and pulled out the letter, then placed it face down on the chair.

"What are you doing?" Ephram asked, visibly puzzled.

"We're going to announce things together." Amy replied, sternly.

Amy ripped open the second package and pulled out the letter, keeping it face down in her hands. She handed the first letter Ephram and closed her eyes, inhaling a deep breath. "Madison, will you count down from three, four us?"

"Of course." Madison replied. "Three...two..one!"

Amy and Ephram flipped over their letters and their eyes hungrily read the finely printed letters, then each turned to each other, with their eyes blazing. "We're in! You're in?! You're in! We're in!"

"Congratulations!" Madison announced. She gently took Julia from Ephram, so that the couple could give each other a hug.

Amy and Ephram wrapped their arms tightly around one another.

"You're going to Julliard!" Amy exclaimed, with joy.

"You're going to NYU!" Ephram said, at the same moment.
