I give you...Another chapter :) well what else would it be?

Disclaimer: Nope no matter how many times I wish I still don't own it.

Kate was sat on the couch waiting for Rick, she was curled up and holding a pillow to her chest. Her head was slightly dropping and her eyes were shutting.

"Tired?"

Rick smiled and came in holding two cups of coffee, he placed them on the table and sat next to her.

"It's just this case, we know who did it we just can't prove it.""Well if I know you, which I do, you'll catch him."

She leaned again him. "Thanks."

"So have you thought about my offer?"

"Yes."

"So are we going?"

"Have you spoken to Alexis about it?"

"Not yet."

"Well if she's up for it I am."

"We are so going." He smiled and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Rick?"

"Yes?"

"Am I even allowed to drink coffee?" She stared at him.

"What?" He stared at her. "Oh, erm...Well I guess, it could be worse you could be drinking alcohol." He chuckled to himself. "But I don't see a problem, we can ask the doctor when we set up an appointment."

They heard the door open and Alexis walked through.

"Hi guys." She smiled and went to sit next to her dad.

""Hi Alexis, had a good night?"

"Yes, it wasn't so bad. How has your evening been?"

"Oh you know the same as usual. Had take out, watched a movie."

"Sounds fun." Alexis smiled.

"So I want to ask you something." Rick looked at her.

"I guess you can." She turned her body towards him.

"How would you like to come to the Hampton's this weekend?"

She stared at him. "I don't know…"

"Oh come on, you broke out tradition for summer, now you're going to break my heart again?"

"It's not that I just had plans with Ash this weekend."

"Well why don't you invite him along?" Kate said.

Rick had just had a drink of his coffee and started to have a coughing fit.

Alexis looked at Kate and pointed at Rick. "That's why."

"Don't worry I'll talk to him." She smiled and Alexis stood up.

"Okay then well I'm going to do my extra credit."

Kate watched her go and then turned to Rick who had just recovered. She hit him and he turned to her.

"What was that for?" He asked her.

"That was for overreacting."

"Overreacting? Are you serious?"

She looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "I'm sorry but what exactly do you think will happen?"

"Well, you know what young teenagers are like….wanting to experiment…"

"Rick, what was it you wanted Alexis to have? Wild and inappropriate stories?"

"But that was then this is now."

"Rick it's her decision if she wants to do anything." He flinched slightly. "She's not a kid anymore."

He sighed. "You know I'm starting to have my regrets about you moving in already."

She leaned against the couch. "Tell me about it, you're a big kid."

"Which makes me all the more fun."

She shook her head in disbelief. "You really are impossible!"

"So are you!" They stared at each other for a few minutes before Rick looked away.

"Fine you win."

"Good know go and tell Alexis she can bring Ash if she wants to."

"Fine!" He stood up heading for the stairs. "He sleeping way on the other end of the house though."

"Carry on and you'll be sleeping down here."

"Hey I'll come on my own free will no need to force me."

She smiled at him. "Good, I'll get the bed to myself tonight then."

"You really would send me down here as well wouldn't you?"

"Me? Do a thing like that? Of course not."

"I believe you would."

He knocked on Alexis' door and she called him in.

"Yes dad?"

"Well I want to talk to you about this weekend."

"Yes?"

"Okay, well I'm fine if Ash comes."

"Really?" Her eyes lit up.

"Well it seems the only way I can get Kate to come is if you agree, and the only way you will agree is if Ash comes. I've got to agree."

She stood up and wrapped her arms around his waist hugging him. "Thank you dad."

"You're still in separate rooms though."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Yes dad."

"Hey don't you give me those eyes. I'm immune to them or have you not realized that yet."

"Well it's still worth a try."

He laughed and kissed her forehead. "Well I'll let you get back to doing your extra credit."

"Okay then. Thanks again dad. I love you."

"Love you too pumpkin." He smiled and closed the door behind him.

She smiled as he walked out her bedroom. This was going to be a really fun weekend, she picked up her phone and dialled Ash's number to tell him the news.
