By the time the family of three was entering the stadium, both Kat and Scotty had welcome their twin son and daughter into the world just two months ago. Though he was thrilled about having kids, he wasn't as happy to be up all night with twin crying babies. Luckily, the two were able to work something out.

For both John and Lilly, they were glad that Amelia now seven months old wasn't like that. Now all decked out in a tiny baby sports outfit, her tiny smile was to be seen. As the two sat down to watch the game, Lilly could hear John telling their daughter about what was going on.

"Are you going to talk through this whole game", she asked while trying to focus on what team was now at bat. He didn't answer but instead resumed his mini lesson to Amelia on baseball; already John shared his love of sports with her. Though that didn't bother Lilly at the least, but when the Phillies hit a home run, the two watched it feeling the pulse of excitement in the air.

"You're not getting one", seeing that her husband was about get a hotdog, not wanting him to suffer another one. Though he wasn't obese, the fright of losing him was still very much evident in her mind. Right after coming home from the game later that night, John lay on his side peering into Lilly's.

He could tell that his recent heart attack had sent a massive bundle of nerves that were still pulsating through her whole body, " I'm not going anywhere", touching her cheek softly, " My heart's fine now". Somehow Lilly nodded softly but feared about even making love anymore; however she knew that it would be awhile before they could actually have sex.

"I'm not at all dying", pulling her closer to him. While Lilly heard the lulling sounds of his heart, she lay awake feeling safe in his arms. Though she knew that what he was saying was in fact true, Lilly continued to listen needing that sound to continue comforting her.

However by morning, Lilly had beaten him to work, seeing both Vera and Jefferies each yelling at each other since Vera had now became his roommate; ever since a pipe had burst; flooding out his entire apartment.

Sitting down with a mug of tea, she began working on the case some more. Then her phone rang, prompting her to drive to Jersey. Upon arriving Christina was lying on a bed, breathing harder. Lilly immediately took her hand, "Breathe Chris".

"I need the drugs Lil, NOW", as a sharp pain rippled throughout her entire body. Christina wasn't merely having a field day, but somehow the hours grew longer. Lilly could relate to that experience, but knew that her sister's pregnancy wasn't such a good one, plus the fact that she had gained too much weight.

'Don't push Chris", but was then interrupted, "Shut the hell up Lil", letting out another painful moan. Lilly knew that it was just the labor pains that were making her say those things, but at the same time remained supportive.

As her contractions grew stronger and closer, Christina couldn't take it any longer, "Get him out please", while Lilly wiped the sweat off of her forehead before feeling her sister squeezing all the pressure out of her hand.

Christina let out another scream, "What the hell is inside of me, a bowling ball"?

By the midnight, she was ready to deliver. However Lilly was tired plus having no feeling her left hand was no picnic indeed; " Push, softly instructing her.

With the doctor also couching her, Christina screamed and moaned while pushing. Just as she was about to lose it mentally; she then heard the sound of a newborn's first cry. Lilly was awed just by seeing her new nephew being born.

Upon her hand being released, Lilly could feel the blood rushing back into her hand. However she watched as Christina first held her son for the first time, now giving the new mother sometime alone; Lilly came out looking extremely worn.

Luckily John just happened to be there, as she then shared the news with him. He also was thrilled about her being an aunt, but then gently rubbed her hand, "You also squeezed my hand very tight"

"Don't compare how I was to Chris, she was far worse", as her head already pounded with a headache but when Lilly went back inside to see her new nephew, she could see just how maternal her little sister had become.

Christina was now sitting up in bed, as Lilly also sat down on there, "What's his name"?

"Matthew", whispering softly, while watching him sleeping softly on her chest. As the two sisters continue to watch the newest addition onto their family, they knew that they both needed to remain closer; since there was no one else left.

As the days passed, Lilly stayed to give Christina a hand with Matthew before returning back. Though the cases grew deeper with mysteries, she then found an invitation to the city's annual Christmas ball, which was coming up. Never in their relationship did neither Lilly nor John ever attend it, since neither of them really had a thing for it.

In fact when it was brought up John pretended that he didn't hear about it. In fact this pissed her off, especially how he'd act about this, "We never go, and don't say that you have forgotten how to love, I know you better than that now".

John continued reading up on the sports scores, until he saw that she wanted to go badly, "Lil I hate those kinds of things, you know that".

"All you will be doing is gossiping about cases and sports among other cops", making him stop what he was doing. When he had found of that she had already had signed them both up to go, he groaned trying to find a way out of it.

Lilly knew him all too well, "Don't even pull a thing about wanting to work, John", knowing how he would use that as an excuse.

During the weeks counting down to the ball, he groaned each and every single day. These type of parties weren't really his thing, by the time the night had finally had come, John winced as Lilly was fixing his sports coat, "Don't do this", warning him.

"I'm not a kid", reminding her.

She shot him a long look, "You certainly are acting like one", as John followed her down the stairs. After the Christina had arrived, along with Matthew; the two ended up fighting during the whole drive there. When arriving, the squad sat together at their table.

As usual both Kat and Scotty were at their usual bickering, while John and Lilly avoided each other's glances. Probably due to his own arrogance about even attending this party; however once Scotty made a stupid comment towards Kat, she immediately took off for the bathroom as Lilly trailed behind.

"How the hell did you even put up with him", scowled Kat while fixing her earring, "Scotty's one heck of a pain the ass".

Lilly sighed, " Try being married to one, "seeing how the other woman froze in terror knowing that Scotty probably would try and make a that move on her as well. However as much as Kat loved Scotty she also hated him as well, but upon returning John was speaking to other cops as usual.

As the music started to play, Scotty stood up looking right at Kat. She groaned but accepts his hand as the two danced together. While watching other couples, it didn't take very long for the ice to break between both John and Lilly.

Little did they know that this turn out to be a party that the two would never forget, but never speak of again due to a little fight later on?
