"Catherine stay over my house for tonight, please?" Nick said giving her a puppy-dog look.

"Please mom I want to hang out with dad," Lindsey begged.

Catherine was sitting on the edge of her hospital bed looking at the father of her unborn child and her 16-year-old daughter. She really wanted to go home, but knowing Nick he would get his way when it came to being with her.

"But you have school tomorrow, Linds," Catherine said looking at her daughter.

"No I don't mom, its Friday night. I gave up plans to hang out with my new dad," Lindsey said with a smile giving Nick's hand a squeeze.

"I can sleep on the couch if you want, Lindsey can use the guest bedroom and you can sleep in my bed," Nick said.

"No daddy, you and mom are sleeping together. I mean you too are having a kid together," Lindsey said matter-of-factually.

"Fine, 2 against 1. You guys win. But Nicky take me home so Lindsey and I can get some things," Catherine said. Nick helped her into the wheel chair, and then they walked out together. Catherine kept talking, "Nick do you have anything at home?"

"Yeah, beer some stale Cheerios and spoiled milk," Nick said embarrassed.

"How do eat then?" Lindsey asked.

"Well most of the time I'm hanging out with friends or working," Nick said looking at Cath.

"Well then after my house we are going to the supermarket," Cath said looking ahead. She saw Wendy and Sara wheeling Greg out. He had burses a broken arm and 20 stitches but for the most part he looked good. Cath could tell that Wendy and Sara were fighting with good old Greggo.

"No Sara, I will be fine," Greg insisted.

"Greg, you have a broken arm, 20 stitches and burses, I am taking you home weather you like it or not," Wendy said giving Greg the mother stare.

"Fine, MOTHER, you win. Just as long as Hodges doesn't come," Greg said with a pout.

"He won't don't worry," Wendy said with a laugh, and Sara smiled.

"Nice job Greggo, Hodges is going to pissed off when he hears his girlfriend let YOU into the house!" Nick said with a laugh, Lindsey, Cath, Wendy, and Sara smiled. Greg punched Nick in the arm with his good hand.

"Ha ha ha, very funny Nick," Greg said.

The team parted their ways, Nick walking Catherine and Lindsey to his car, Sara got in her car, and Wendy helped Greg into her car. They all waved their good-byes and headed on their way. Catherine and Nick were talking about sleeping arrangements. Lindsey was texting her best friend Amy:

Lindsey put her phone down, they where pulling into her drive way. Lindsey jumped out running up to the house. Nick helped Catherine out; she dug her house keys out of her pocket book and headed slowly to the house leaning on Nick. Catherine opened the door, Lindsey ran up to her room grabbing a bag filling it with clothes, a toothbrush, a brush, her laptop and ipod. She ran back down stairs.

"My god Linds that was fast!" Nick said laughing, he was standing in the kitchen, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure dad what's up?" Lindsey asked setting her bag down and sitting in a chair next to her dad as he pulled out a little blue box.

"I know your mom and I haven't been going out for long, but do you think she will like it?" Nick whispered, opening the box reviling a platinum ring.

"Oh my god! Dad! What's it called?" Lindsey said in shock putting her hand to her mouth.

"It is a Tiffany Legacy with Graduated side stones," Nick said looking up at her.

"My god! Even the name sounds pricey! How did you afforded this?" she asked.

"I have been saving up for some time."

"Daddy, you could give her one of those rings from the supermarkets that you pay a quarter for and she would love it!"

"Really?" Nick's face lit up.

"Yes now put it away I here her coming," Lindsey closing the box. Nick slide it back into his pocket.

"Ready?" Catherine asked.

"When ever you are sweet heart," Nick said taking her hand and smiling.

"Aww!" Lindsey coed, "Now lets get some food!"

They drove t the supermarket. Catherine picked out what she wanted, and Nick and Catherine fought over the money. Lindsey pulled out 1 $20 bill and handed it to the cashier who smiled at her. Catherine cooked dinner. They ate and talked. Greg and Wendy called to see how Catherine was. Lindsey went to bed, Nick took his chance.

"Catherine?" Nick said turning to her, holding the box in his pocket.

"What's up Nicky?" Catherine said looking at him.

He got down on one knee opening the box, "Catherine Willows, will you marry me?"

Catherine gasped, "Oh my god Nicky! Yes! Yes! Of coarse!"

Nick stood up with a smile, Catherine jumped up and hugged him, he lifted her off the ground. Lindsey was watching from her room, she smiled to herself and whispered, "I love you mom and dad."
