The next morning, they had accidentally slept in after making love half the night. Brian knocked on his mother's bedroom door...no answer. He cracked it open only to find his parents, only covered from the waist down, fast asleep. He freaked out and ran back to his room. The noise woke them both. Jack shot up out of bed, grabbed his pants, while Shiela got her robe, and they both went to their son's room. Once they got him calmed down they were able to talk to him. "Son, I'm sorry you caught your mother and I in an awkward situation. But, we're adults. You're old enough to know how you got here to begin with." "Gee, thanks, Dad. That paints a vivid mental picture." "Son," Shiela spoke up, "What did you expect? It's like your father said. We're adults. Just because we're your parents doesn't mean we don't have needs." "Don't say any more, Mom. Just give me time to get past it, ok?" "Fine. We'll go down and make breakfast."

In the kitchen, Jack and Shiela felt very self-conscious about what had happened, her more than him. "Dear God, I hope we haven't traumatized him, Jack." "It would have been worse if we had actually been doing anything. Although, kids have caught their parents having sex and haven't been badly scarred." "Very funny. I needed to hear that." He stood up and put his arms around her. "sometime, when he's not here, we'll have to experiment with new places to..." His voice trailed off. "Jesus, Jack. For a D.A., you can be a real shmuck sometimes, you know that? I now which head your thinking with now and it's the only one blood circulates to." He just chuckled at her comment and held her close.

Jack left right after breakfast. He had told Shiela a little white lie the night before. He HAD been thinking about them being together, but not just living together. He had already planned on asking her to marry him. He was just waiting for the right time. He headed for Tiffany's to pick out a ring. Lucky for him he remembered her ring size. He found a beautiful, un fancy two karat diamond and had it gift wrapped. He got back to the house and had them both sit down. "You both know that I love you very much." The both nodded. "Well, part of this arrangement has left me feeling incomplete, so..." He took out the box and handed it to Shiela, her mouth dropping open in the exchange. "I'm asking you, both, to be my family." Brian tackled his father right off the footstool he was sitting on, knocking them both to the floor, laughing hysterically. Once her two men got up off the floor, she opened the box and thought she was going to have a heart attack. "Jack," she lifted her eyes to his. "Are you saying...?" He took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. "That's exactly what I'm saying." Taking her hand he got down on bended knee and said, "Marry me." She practically flew into his arms, kissing him with tears streaming down her face. When he pulled away he asked, "I take that as a 'yes'?" "No, take THIS as a 'yes'." And she kissed him passionately, only to cause their son to react by saying, "Gross! That's it. I'm going to my room. There's no mush up there." The happy couple burst out laughing.
