"I was standing at the counter

I was waiting for the change

When I heard that old familiar music start

It was like a lighted match

Had been tossed into my soul

It was like a dam had broken in my heart"

Flash woke up in the morning and walked downstairs and was shocked to find River asleep at his desk. She smiled and went in the kitchen and made coffee. When she was done she poured him a cup and brought it over to him. "River… wake up" She said as she nudged him.

"What?" He looked around. "What time is it?"

"You got thirty minutes till you have to leave so drink up." Flash said handing him the cup of coffee.

"Thanks but I thought you'd sleep all day."

"So did I but apparently your alarm clock didn't agree." She said sitting down next to him.

"Sorry I didn't think I'd fall asleep down here."

"What are you doing down here any way?"

"Grading papers. I had a lot to do."

"Then why did you come to my concert last night?"

"You wanted me to."

"But you didn't want to?" Flash asked.

"But I'm glad I did. You were wonderful."

Flash got up. "You know River it isn't fair that you come to things because you feel obligated. I want you there because you want to be there."

River got up and went over to her. "If I didn't want to be there I wouldn't have gone…"

"But you had all this work."

"Which I finished last night so don't worry about it."

"I just… sometimes I feel like you'd leave me if you didn't feel so obligated." Flash said as she started to cry.

"No, Sara believe me I would never leave you because I love you."

"I love you too." She said as she let River hold her.

"Look if you're ever doubting my love again then just ask because I never have a problem telling you that I love you." River said meaning it.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"You know I just love you for that."

Flash said as she kissed him.

Then they heard Melody start to cry.

"It sounds like someone else loves us too." River said laughing.

"So what do you want for dinner?" Adrienne asked Al.

"I want something that doesn't involve you cooking." Al said as he came in carrying Sasha.

"What you're going to cook?" Adrienne asked smiling.

"No, Carlotta gave us some food when I picked up Sasha."

"Oh so this is Carlotta's doing. I see."

"Personally I'm glad. Because there's no reason for you to have to work two jobs a day and then come home and cook." He said handing Sasha to her. Then he started to set out the food.

"You're saying that today because we've already got food. If we didn't you'd wouldn't be saying this."

"Yeah probably not." Al said as he brought Adrienne a plate of food who was feeing Sasha.

"So do you have class tomorrow?"

"Not a long one. I'm going to stop by work when I'm done."

"So I'll drop Sasha off at my mother's when I go to work?" Al asked.

"That's probably a real good idea. You know we're lucky that your parents and Carlotta will watch her so much."

"Well they understand how important work is for us so they don't mind any way. They love their granddaughter."

"Who couldn't love this little girl?" Adrienne asked smiling.

"I know I can't stand loving her or her mother." Al said as he leaned in and gave Sasha kiss on the head and then gave Adrienne a kiss on the lips.
