A/N Last chapter I love you all blows kisses to her audience.

No More Mystery

Manny had now been in the hospital for two weeks and was about to get released to go home that day.

"I can't wait to get out of here."

"I can't wait to take care of you." J.T. said as he smiled at her, her face went from a smile to a "yeah right" face.

"Look J.T. can I have serious conversation with you?"

"Anytime babe."

"I know you care for me, but we've only been out on two dates before all of this, and all of this made me realize who I really want to be with. I'm sorry J.T., but its not you."

"It's Craig."

"Yes, but I'm ending this now to where we can still be friends, and not to hurt by it. I know you talked to him, and I know what he said, but I can't lose him again I'm sorry."

"I understand, and besides I you aren't with me I'm glad it will be him who takes care of you because I know he will make you happy."

"Don't worry J.T. you'll find someone, I just know that I want Craig and no one else."

"Manny we'll always be friends I promise, and I'll be there for you no matter what."

"Thanks for taking this so well J.T." She took his hand, and he bent down to hug her.

Rose was in the doctors office filling out all of the release forms. When Inspector Cross walked in, and they talked until finally he had told her waiting for her reaction.

"I can't believe he had a record, and they decided to settle out of court and arrest him for a seven year sentence. That's wonderful news now that I know Manny will be safe. Thank you Mr. Cross."

"Ms. Santos I hope this isn't to forward of me, but once Manny is settled and this all blows over would you maybe want to go out for dinner with me?"

"Please call me Rose Mr. Cross."

"Only if you call me Johnny, Rose."

"Then it's a date."

Craig was at her house ready to surprise Manny with her room makeover he had done all by himself.

"I hope she likes what I did."

He walked over to the fridge getting something to eat when the doorbell rang.

"Hey guys you're here okay lets get decorating okay."

"Yeah." Yelled the students.

"Emma."

"Hey J.T."

"Do you know about Manny and Craig?"

"Yeah, but I'm okay with it, besides we never would have fit I go better with someone I've known for awhile."

"Someone like me maybe?" J.T. pleaded hoping to at least get a date.

"J.T. I'm sorry I never shared my feelings, but I was scared."
"So was I, but we can at least start now." He said as he moved closer to her slightly brushing her lips.

She pulled him closer knowing this was what she wanted all along.

Getting into the car Manny took the picture out of her pack, and placed it into the frame her mother had in the car. Writing on the nameplate she smiled knowing her baby would have been beautiful. Excited to get to her bedroom and call Craig she got out of the car waiting for her mother to unlock the door.

"Hurry mom I want to invite Craig over I have to tell him something."

"Okay I'm coming."

She turned the doorknob.

"Mom, why are the lights…"

"Surprise!"

"Oh my gosh!" She put her hand covering her mouth in shock.

"Mom I had no idea you did this."

"I didn't do anything I just let them use the house."

"Then who?"

It was then she saw Craig standing behind the door smiling brightly at her.

He led her outside to the backyard as the dancing began, and smiled once again.

"Welcome home Manuela." He said picking her up off the ground her legs around his waist.

"It was never a home without you Craig."

He kissed her passionately spinning her around as she squealed and they laughed together.

"I have something to show you." She pulled out the picture of the sonogram in the frame and pointed to the name. 'Hayden Lana Manning.'

"I'm going to put it above the bed in my room."

"Sounds good, and I love the name I just wish."

"So do I, but it doesn't change that fact that I love you Craig."

"I love you Manny hey let's get out of here I've got a surprise for you."

"Okay."

He led her upstairs to her bedroom.

"Close your eyes."

She opened them to a new room. The bed was now a canopy bed with pick and white sheets, and the desk a darker shade of brown. The walls no longer all pink, but white with pale pink vertical strips. Her closet had been made more organized with a shelf just for shoes and belts, draw pants, and dresses to be hanged on either side and shirts, and undergarments in the middle.

"Craig I love it."

"I knew you would." She said jumping into his arms kissing him with all her might, and losing his balance they fell on the bed.

"I love you Manny more them anything."

"I love you too." She kissed him pulling herself onto the bed all the way smiling.

"Are you sure?" He asked unsure if she was willing.

"I want this more then anything. I want you more then anything."

"I feel the same."

That night they shared the passion that had been held within them for so many years. Finally, "releasing" their true feelings.
