FINALLY

Ryan and Marissa were now on their way back to the hospital. He had his hand on her lap and she had hers on top of his. They drove peacefully together.

"I missed all this. Not the couple-y stuff..." Ryan looked at her as she said this, "Well I'm not gonna lie, I miss that too; but I mean, being like this with you. Being with you." She said as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"I do too. And if I weren't driving right now, I'd kiss you back." He glanced over to her and then back on the road.

She giggled, "You can return the favour later."

The couple walked into the hospital hand-in-hand, up until Caitlin's room.

"Wait, let's have some fun. Follow my lead." Ryan looked at Marissa, wondering what she had in mind. But he trusted her so he just went with it.

Marissa dropped Ryan's hand and completely changed her character right before his eyes. She turned away from Ryan and walked into Caitlin's hospital room angrily. "Ugh, how could you Ryan? I thought we left all this behind, back in high school." Caitlin was watching TV before. Now she had her eyes on Marissa, then Ryan as he slowly entered the room behind her.

"Great, what happened now between you two?" she asked, annoyed.

Ryan then clicked in to Marissa's act and played along. "Don't you play that card!" Marissa ignored him. "Caitlin, would you please tell your sister she's acting pretty stupid right now?"

"Wow. You two again, back in action. I thought all this drama was over and done with. I thought I told both of you to just talk? And with that I meant like civilized people, not like teenagers. I'm allowed to be like that, but not you two. You're suppose to be the mature ones remember?Ugh! You guys are so annoying."

"Me? More like this guy right here" Marissa said, pointing to Ryan.

"No, both of you! Jeez, I need more painkillers." Caitlin rubbed her head. "You two are such a pain. Just leave me out of this. Please. Do all of us a favour and just hook up already and be happy because you guys always end up arguing about something stupid when really, you two just wanna make out with each other and stuff. Please. You guys are giving me a headache."

Marissa looked at Ryan and they both end up laughing. Ryan walks over to Marissa puts his arms around her waist and kisses her. Marissa wraps hers around Ryan's neck and returns it. After, they turn to Caitlin who looks at them in confusion. A few seconds pass and she clicks in that it was all a joke.

Caitlin rolls her eyes and shakes her head, "Wow. Bravo". Then starts to laugh herself.

They continue to talk a little bit, with Ryan and Marissa's hands all over each other.

"Okay, I'm happy for you two, but I forgot how 'ew' you guys can be sometimes. Like, for one second, just not love each other so much." Caitlin said, disgusted with all the PDA.

Instead of stopping, Ryan stole a kiss from Marissa who just smiled and deepened it, trying to gross Caitlin out even more.

Julie walks in, with a to-go bag in hand full of dinner, she smiles at what's happening. Then clears her throat to let the three know she's present. Ryan and Marissa broke out and Ryan then turned red.

Caitlin and Marissa giggled at an embarrassed Ryan, "hi mom." They both say in unison.

"Glad to see things are going back to the way they're supposed to be. Finally! Ryan, what took you so long?"

"I know right? Finally." Caitlin added, making Ryan more embarrassed. "So when's the wedding?"

"What? You didn't..." Julie was stunned.

"Whoa, mom, no one's getting married. Ryan and I just got back together."

"Oh, phew! I'm not complaining but I mean, if you are, Ryan you move fast!"

"Trust me, mom, he does not move fast." Caitlin said.

"Well, if you do ever.. when you do.. I just wanna say-"

Marissa interrupts her mom before she says something more embarrassing. "Mom, that doesn't matter right now." She looks at Ryan and smiles at him, kissing his reddened cheek. "It doesn't matter. What matters is... now."
