It's been almost one year since Lu was raped & she is still struggling to move forward. She has nightmares all the time, has trouble being intamite w/ Mickey (it maybe because her anniversary is coming up?). Dana & Nick decide to give it another try together even w/ the baby she adopted who has HIV. What's gonna go on between them this time & will it last? Dana & Nick officially get back together two weeks later. Mickey & Lu are doing fine, he helped her through the anniversary which wasn't a piece of cake. -- As Mickey helps Lu through her period of turmoil someone from his past returns-
"Baby it's four oclock in the morning you should be asleep." "I know." "Lu what's wrong?" "I was just trying to get my headache to go away." "You have a headache?" "Yeah, I had a nightmare about that night again." "Do you want to talk about it?" "I don't know why I feel like it just happened. Is that normal?" "Lu it's just me, Rand isn't here." "I need to try to go back to sleep." "Maybe you should take an early afternoon tomorrow." "We'll see." -- The next day Mickey gets a shocking suprise at work. His cousin Khia tells him that his favorite aunt is real sick and he needs to go back home.
How can Mickey leave Lu at a time like this? Little does Mickey know that is the least of his problems-
"Khia will you go to the RWHC and ask for Lu Delgado for me tell her to page me." "Why?" "So I can leave work early." "Mickey remember Shay?" "Yeah, why?" "She's been asking about you and for you." "Well I'm with Lu now and besides I live in Philly." "Mic she just found out that she has advanced Leukemia, Mickey she's gonna die." "Khia don't say that." "The treatments aren't working anymore. The doctor said she has about five months at the most." "Well I may be able to visit, but I'm with Lu and my job is here. I'm not moving back." "Mickey she didn't ask for that." "You told me that she likes me still."

--At RWHC--

"Dana Paula Shaw is in the ER with signs of hepatitis C. She's asking for you." "I'll be right there." (Dana runs to the ER) "Paula how are you feeling?" "Don't ask." "That bad huh?" "When I went to county they said I have hepatitis C." "I'll have to do some tests, lets admitt you to Rittenhouse."

--Later that night-
"Lu were going out tonight." "Tell me where?" "Nope, just dress like you always do." "Thanks baby that helps." "Come on we're going to be late." "Okay let's go." (They go out to dinner and...) "Lu I have to ask you something." "Mic you don't have to be shy how long have we been together. What is it?" "Close your eyes"
(Mickey got down on one knee, when he told Lu to open her eyes he was reaching for her hand.) "Lu will you marry me?" "Yes." (They started dancing to a slow song "he proposed" - Kelly Price) "Mic I can't believe you want to spend the rest of your life with me." "I love you Lu, of course I would want to spend it with you." (Lu calls Lana to tell her the news, Lana tells Lu that Nick and Dana got back together.)
