XX- Yay, I am so glad you're back. I love your reviews and have missed you in my CSI:NY story lately. You'll just have to sit back and see how the story plays out. I have big plans, if I could ever find more time to write. And the Dallas stuff will be here a lot because spring of 1980 was the big 'who shot JR?' thing. And it's a hoot to go from writing horny Craig with Kylah to daddy Craig for Chev.

Flowersc781- I don't mean to torture you. Just happens I guess. LOL I hope I can keep your attention.

Lia06- Here is more. Sorry it took so long. Life is crazy right now.

Meadow567- Still curios about the Steve joke. And you're already making predictions here which I love. And no dirty talk with grandma Eruzione home.

Emador- It is a hoot going from Craig trying to have sex with Kylah, knocking her up in an elevator for heaven's sake….to daddy Craig looking out for Chev, his little girl. And the PMS bit made me laugh while writing it.

Logan International Airport
Boston, Massachusetts

I stepped off the plane in Boston and began looking around for Mike. He was supposed to meet me at the gate. I saw Mike standing off to the side. I smiled and hurried to hug him.

"Chev…oh my god I've missed you." Mike held me tight.

"I've missed you too." I said. I inhaled deeply, he smelled the same and it calmed me a bit.

"You look so beautiful. I can't believe it's been two months." Mike said. He leaned down and kissed me. It was soft and gentle and familiar.

"You look great." I told him. He did, he was in jeans and long sleeved shirt.

"I should get you home. Everyone is dying to meet you." Mike said.

I nodded, a little nervous. Mike sensed it.

"They're going to love you. Mom and dad already do." Mike said.

"I hope so." I said.

Mike took my hand and kissed it. "They will."

"Well, let's head to your house to meet your 900 family members that live with you." I sighed.

"Chev, it'll be okay." Rizzo said.

"Which way to baggage claim?" I asked.

"Down this way." Rizzo said and we started walking. "How was your flight?"

"It was good. I need to call dad and leave him a message that I arrived safe." I said.

"Is he still coming in May?" Mike asked.

"Yes, he says for you to relax that he will definitely be here." I said.

"I am so glad to have you here. I have missed you so much." Mike said.

"I've missed you too. I really missed you Mike." I said.

"First couple weeks I'd wake up expecting you to be next to me." Mike said.

"I know how you feel." I said.

We stopped at baggage claim to wait on my suitcase.

"So what all do you have planned while I am in Boston?" I asked.

"I thought we could take a day and go sightseeing in Plymouth. And I want to show you my new place." Mike said.

"Sounds fun." I said.

"Chev, I'm really glad you're here." Mike said.

I smiled. "I'm glad I'm here too."

Mike gave me a quick kiss and grabbed my bag as it went around.

"Ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah, where did you park?" I asked.

"Right outside." Mike said and took my hand. "Come on."

(Winthrop)

We pulled up in front of Mike's house. The yard was full of children and adults were crowded on the porch.

"I feel like I am in that movie 'Yours, Mine, and Ours'." I groaned.

"Come on, you'll love it. My family can't wait to meet you." Mike said.

We got out of the car and started up the sidewalk. I saw Rizzo's parents standing among the family on the porch.

"Is all 17 people here now?" I asked.

"Nah, some had to work and will be here later tonight." Rizzo said.

Suddenly I was surrounded by people all talking and hugging me. I didn't understand a lot of what they were saying.

"Mike, why are they speaking Italian?" I whispered.

"Does it bother you?" Mike asked.

"Yes, I want to know what they're saying about me." I said.

"We speak a lot of Italian at home." Rizzo said. "You'll get used to it."

I sighed and managed to greet everyone. They were all very friendly, but all living in one house? Luckily Helen (Rizzo's mom) grabbed my arm.

"Chev, we're so glad you finally made it here. Mikey has been so excited to see you again." Helen said.

"I am glad to be here. I have been looking forward to visiting." I said.

"We're so glad you're here. Everyone is so happy to meet you. Everyone knows Mikey is just crazy about you." She squeezed my hand. "I'll show you where you'll be staying. You'll be on the second floor with us."

(Night)

I had managed to get away from everyone to sit out on the front porch of Rizzo's home. I could hear people moving about in the house.

"There you are. I was looking for you." Rizzo stepped out on the porch.

"I came out here after 'Dallas'. I called OC to see what he thought of it, and then came out here." I said.

"What did he think of it?" Rizzo sat beside me on the swing.

"We're both convinces JR is pushing his luck. Rumor is the season finale is going to be some big blockbuster." I said.

"You okay?" Mike took my hand.

"It's just been a big day. Meeting so many people and all." I said.

Mike smiled and put his arm around me. "Well get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we'll spend the day together."

I nodded. "That would be nice."

"You sure you're okay?" Mike asked.

"Your grandmother is upstairs going through my things." I sighed.

"I told you she does that." Mike said. "I know it's invasive, but she only does it once to get to know you. She thinks she has the right since you're in her home."

I eyed him. "And where do you hide condoms so that no one finds them?"

Mike pulled back. "What kind of question is that?"

"Well I was a virgin when we started dating. You weren't. Where did you hide condoms?" I said.

"I…I was at college. I had my own dorm room and I roomed with OC." Mike said. "I don't understand."

"And now that you're not rooming with OC anymore?" I asked.

"I have my own apartment that is almost ready to move into….and my own office." Mike said. "Where is this coming from?"

"I just don't appreciate that I am not allowed to carry condoms or birth control because I am supposed to be a virgin. Meanwhile, you're the one I slept with and you weren't even a virgin then." I said.

"Are you mad because you can't carry condoms or are you mad that I've had sex with other girls?" Mike asked.

"A little of both I guess." I said.

"Look Chevon….personally I don't care if you have condoms, a diaphragm, birth control pills…hell you could have the whole damn pharmacy for all I care. But my family is old fashioned on that point. I just don't want any problems. What we do in private is our business. I am all for using condoms and the pill and whatever." Rizzo said. "Please understand, I want everyone to get along. I love you; I don't want problems between you and my family. Isn't it enough that we agree?"

"I am glad you believe in birth control." I agreed.

"And why are you suddenly upset about my past girlfriends? You knew I had dated other girls." Mike asked.

"Does your family think you're a virgin?" I asked.

"I guess so. It's not like I walked into the house going 'Hey mom, never believe this girl I screwed last night.' They feel sex is for marriage only, but times are different." Mike said. "Are you regretting having sex with me?"

"It's not that. It's hard to explain. Like, listening to all this about your family…virginity is obviously a big deal around here. I gave you mine…..some other woman got yours." I said.

Mike sighed and looked down. "I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do to change that."

"I know that. And I knew this before…it's just…I dunno, maybe I am just taking the frustration of everything out on you." I said.

Mike took my hand. "There were only two girls before you. The first…her name was Michelle. I dated her most of my freshman year of college. She transferred during the summer and that was it. The other was Christina. We met at a Christmas party my junior year and dated a few months. But she wasn't what I wanted….I let her go." Mike tilted my chin up, forcing me to look at him. "Someone else might have been my first, but you're my last and that means more to me than anything. I didn't love them….especially not the way I love you. And you have no idea how much it means to me that I was your first."

I felt the tears coming on. "Mike, I'm sorry. I guess just missing you and being away from you has been so hard and then….."

"Hey don't be sorry. I understand. If any other guy touched you that way, I'd be ready to rip their throats out." Mike pulled me into his arms. "And just so you know….sex is more special and amazing with you because I love you. I was completely in love with you our first time. I knew I loved you that's why I waited without pressuring you."

I smiled. "I love you….I'm sorry…."

"Shhhhh, it's good that we talked about this. I have a feeling that had been bothering you. Now we've talked it out." Mike said.

"I do love you. I am so glad to be here. I really missed you holding me." I said.

"It's chilly out here. But we can snuggle up for awhile. I'll hold you and keep you warm." Mike smiled pulling me closer to him.

(Next Morning)

The next morning I woke up in the small guest room on the 2nd floor. I could hear commotion about the house already. I looked over at the night stand to see a bouquet of white lilies in a glass vase. I sat up and noticed the card. I could see my name in Mike's scribble he called handwriting.

I opened the card.

Chev,
I am so glad you're here with me. I can't wait to spend the next few days with you. I love you so much. I know lilies are your favorite. I hope you enjoy waking up to them.
Love,
Mike

I smiled and smelled one of the lilies. I was in Winthrop with Mike. We were going to spend the next few days together.
