I glanced down and saw Michael lying on the cement in a broken heap. His blood was pooling around him, and mixing with the rain.

"Ranger, help, I'm going to fall."

I watched as Ranger ran to the CR-V and dove in. Shit, he was going to leave me? I knew I had pissed him off, but jeez a little help would be nice. I looked up at my hand and watched as my fingers whitened. When I looked back down the CR-V was parked underneath me. Ranger jumped out and stood on the roof.

"Let go Babe, I'll catch you."

"No, I can't." I let out a scream as one of my hands lost its grip and flipped down making me swing wildly. "Ranger."

"Babe, trust me. I'll catch you."

My arms strained under the effort to hold my body up. Stupid Tasty-Cakes, if I made it out of this alive, I was defiantly going on a diet. I looked down again and saw Ranger looking up at me. I met his eyes.

"Promise."

"Promise." He nodded.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and let go. You know how on TV people say during a near death experience they see like a montage of certain parts of their lives. No montage for me, the only face I saw was Rangers. I felt the air whirl around me as I dropped, my screams echoed off the walls, but I kept my eyes closed.

"Babe it's okay, I got you." I opened my eyes, and realized I was lying on top of Ranger.

"You caught me." I breathed

"Yeah, I caught you Babe, missing wasn't an option."

I guess this was Rangers way of saying 'yeah I still want you around'.

I burst into tears. By the time I stopped crying the police had arrived and I was wrapped in Ranger's jacket and sitting in the CR-V with Bobby while Ranger talked to the police. I glanced up at the top of the car roof, which was now caved in. Yup it was time for a diet. Although some of the weight was Rangers I reasoned. Shivers went up my spine, and I knew Ranger was on his way over. He stopped in front of me, and knelt down.

"You ready to go home?" He asked softly.

"Umm Ranger I am home."

"No, Babe I mean my home." A smile tugged at his lips.

"What about the police? Not to mention my house needs to be secure. And what will these people think? What would my mom think if she found out I spent the night at your place?" I realized I was rambling, but this was my way of trying to process the turn of events.

"Plus what happens if-" Ranger held his finger to my lips in order to keep me quiet.

"You think to much Babe." His lips met mine in a bone-melting kiss. Fire burned low in my belly, and my legs turned to spaghetti. Good thing I was already sitting down, or else I would have slid to the ground.

"What were you saying?" He pulled back and smiled.

I stared at him blankly. The grin widened.

He scooped me up and carried me to the passenger side. "You think your so irresistible don't you? Well you know what-" His lips smothered the rest of my rant.

By the time my brain was back online, I realized we were in his car driving down Sickler Street. I glanced over my shoulder and was surprised to see the back seat empty.

"Bobby caught a ride back with Tank." He said reading my thoughts.

"Good." I cleared my throat. " Because I need to tell you something."

"Babe, you can tell me anything." He gave my thigh a reassuring squeeze.

I gulped. "Well you see Ranger… What I mean is that…When we." Shit this was not going the way I had planned.

"Okay fine here goes. I'm pregnant and you're the father." Thank God for anti-lock brakes. The CR-V squealed to a stop and I closed my eyes, waiting for the worst. It never came. When I opened my eyes again Ranger was staring at me in awe. Then a smile slid across his face.

"That's what you were so afraid to tell me? That I'm going to be a father."

O-kay not really what I had pictured, I'd envisioned myself being cased down the Jersey Turnpike with an enraged Ranger behind the wheel of his CR-V. My mother always said that I had an over-active imagination. Not that I was complaining about Ranger's reaction.

"Stephanie, I know that I sent you back to Morelli, but I did it to keep you from getting hurt. I didn't want our relationship as friends and partners take a hit when we became lovers. But I was wrong. So wrong qeirada."

Wow this from the man of few words. Will the wonders ever cease?

Ranger looked deeply into my eyes. "I love you."

Apparently not. I would have been less shocked if Morelli had walked up to me, and told me he was gay.

Horns blared in the background and people shouted, but I paid no attention to them. I was too focused on the only guy who I had ever truly loved. My eyes blurred with tears, and I placed my hand on his cheek. "I love you."

As his lips crashed against mine, I soared. Wonder woman was back. I knew things would be complicated. Mostly I would piss him off, and he would hold things back from me. But we would make it, because in the end true love always prevails, plus Wonder Woman and Batman make a kick ass team.

The End

A/N: Sorry it took me a while to post, but I wanted to make sure the ending was as good as I could possibly make it. Well thanx a bunch for reading my story, and for those who reviewed thank you that much more.
