Little Ethan had gone down stairs. He couldn't stay in the room another minute…since it was past eleven; he figured they'd been up late.

Theresa started to squirm, she opens her eyes and found Ethan's starring into hers.

"How long have you been watching me?"

"Long enough to know that about every ten seconds you do this funny thing with your nose." Ethan laughed.

"I do not! Theresa protested.

"Yes you do!"

"Why were you watching me sleep anyways? Why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you looked so peaceful…and I know that after being up till what? Seven in the morning? That you'd need your sleep…and that if I woke you…you might have punched me in the face!" Ethan declared

"Oh yeah…I did that before, huh?"

"uh huh….see here?" Ethan points out a small scar on his chin. "That was you!" Theresa laughed. "So…I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't ever wake you up again when you had had a long night!" Ethan made a scouts honor as he sat up straight and lifted up his hand.

Theresa comically pushed him off the bed.

"Hey!"

"What…I didn't try it!" Theresa said innocently.

"Don't put on the face! Please, DONOT put on that puppy face!"

Theresa intensified the face.

"Uhh…You know I'm a sucker for that face!" Ethan pointed out as he climbed up on the bed.

They both laid their heads on a pillow and looked at each other.

"Can you believe its finally happened?"

"What?"

"Us…being together…not just when we're giving into temptation…but staying because we want to…and not leaving because we don't want to?"

Theresa smiled. "Uh huh…I had wait---"Ethan cut her off. He kissed her. It wasn't passionate…but it wasn't soft…it was just, just. They were just enjoying the fact that they could kiss each other without knowing that eventually have to end, knowing they could do it in front of the whole world.

"Mmm…" Theresa made out as they broke their kiss.

"So…Mr. Winthrop, what are you doing today."

Ethan's voice became serious. "I'm investigating."

"Investigating?"

"Yes, I going to find out who tried to shoot me…and than shot you…and almost killed you---"

"Shh...I'm here, ok?"

"(Sighs) yeah…ok…fine. But I'm still going to find out who did it!"

"Of course sweetie."

Ethan smiled.

"What?"

"You called me sweetie…you haven't for a long time."

"I know, honey, sweetheart, baby, lover…" Ethan and Theresa both giggled.

Little Ethan came barging into the room

"ARE YOU TWO EVER GOING TO GET UP!"

They both laughed.

"Of course honey, we'll be down in a few minutes.

"Well, its about time"! Little Ethan shut the door and Ethan and Theresa just laughed.

"Well, I'm going to get a head start on investigating! I'll be in the office."

"Can't you come down to breakfast first?" Theresa said using her puppy face.

"Theresa, don't. Please. I want to find out who did this. They might try again."

Theresa took off the puppy face, knowing if she kept it up any longer that Ethan would give in to it, and she didn't want Ethan to be in danger. "Fine".

"Don't be upset, I'll meet you down there later." Ethan walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Okay?"

"Okay…" Theresa groaned.

Ethan walked out the door, and Theresa turned for the bathroom.

Ethan barged back in the room. "You know what? I just can't seem to leave you!" Ethan pushed her on the bed and started kissing Theresa fiercely.

"Ethan…Mmm."

"Theresa, I love you so much. They both whispered in between kisses.

"EWWW!"

They both stopped and saw little Ethan standing in the doorway.

"Okay honey, I'm coming now." Theresa lifted herself up from the bed. "Honey, why don't you go back down stairs? Mommy has to take a shower first."

Ethan grinned, deviously.

Little Ethan ran down stairs. "And you, mister, are going down to the office!" Theresa pointed out.

"Theresa… I don't' wanna!" Ethan said in a childish voice on purpose.

"Oh, you're too cute. C'mon, Ethan, go down to the office! Maybe later, we'll both take a shower…together." Theresa teased.

"Okay, fine…I wasn't in the mood anyway!" Ethan protested.

"Oh really?" Theresa took out her t-shirt, revealing her black lacey bra. "Still not in the mood? Theresa took off her pajama pants, revealing her matching undies. "How about now?"

"You're doing this on purpose!" But you know what? I'm not even going to look at you." Ethan covered his eyes with both of his eyes and went for the door searching for the doorknob.

"So I'll see you down stairs?" Theresa asked innocently.

"Ha-ha, very funny."
