The night Cam had walked Moose down the stairs she spend a while reassuring the boy that everything was going to be ok, she gave him a kiss goodnight. Cam stood there seeing him walk away and wishing that she could be walking alongside him going to some place nice to enjoy the evening that both of them were so much looking forward to earlier that evening. Releasing a sigh and straightening up Cam decided that it was better to confront her brother now than later, she just wished that he was in a better mood but no matter what she was not going to back down of her relationship with Moose. Walking up the stairs she finally made it to her apartment noticing that her door wasn't close Cam stood there a second gathering her thoughts when she heard her brothers talking, she hoped that things between them were ok. The brunet wasn't sure if Tyler was going to be cool with Chase not telling him about Moose being back in her life, she knew that Chase was not going to denied it if Ty asked him, but she hoped that he didn't. Taking one last breath, she readies herself to get in when she noticed that the conversation was one where Tyler was asking Chase about his situation with Andie. Cam had no time to change her mind about coming into the room, so she walked in slowly trying not to turned the attention toward her but both boys looked at her and Ty motion her to sit on the sofa.

Chase continue to talk opening his heart to his family; Cam noticed how the attitude of Ty change the more he heard Chase told them what was going on with him and Andie lately. Now more than ever she was sure that Ty was in a bad mood because he thought that Chase was misbehaving with Andie, once you enter Ty´s circle of trust he will defend you no matter what. The three of them talked for hours, and the only thing that came out of it was that Chase needed to have a serious discussion with Andie about the way she was behaving but also think about the way he was handling things. By the time they finish talking it was truly late, and Cam was exhausted after the conversation, but a feeling of comfort also invaded her knowing that her brothers were just a few steps away. She was almost asleep when the thought of Moose invaded her, tiredly she reach for her phone and send him a quick text. The next day she went to her job after asking Tyler to joined her for lunch that day, she wanted to talk to him about Moose.

At first, he seemed reluctant to accept but Chase gave him a look, and he said yes, promising to bring something to eat for both of them. Cam's day was busy, but her mind was full of thoughts about the conversation she was going to have with her brother until a couple of kids got sick just before her lunch time. Cam knew that she was supposed to be with them until their parents arrived, so her lunch had to be canceled. Molly knowing about her lunch date offer to cover for her, but Cam knew that it was her responsibility, so she declined the offer after thanking her. Tyler wasn't surprised when he received the call from Cam canceling their plans; he expected her to try and get out of their date even though she was the one that asked him to joined her. He was sure that her sister realized what a bad idea was to date the afro dude again, Ty was confident that now Cam was ashamed of doing it. So, like the great big brother that he was Ty was going to let it go if she promised not to do it again. However, he was taken aback when she asked him to picked her up so they could walk and talked after school, the determination in her voice make him doubt his theory and put an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Later that afternoon he went to pick her up from the school, and after chatting about the reason she had to call off their lunch, Ty was more nervous about the conversation that they were going to have. Apparently, his brotherly instincts were way off. Cam was a smart, beautiful girl and he had always trusted her judgment but even the thought that she was going to defend her relationship with Moose was inconceivable for Ty, so he decided to try to have an open mind about whatever she was going to say to him. However, when they found themselves sitting on the bench when they had shared so many moments in their life, he found himself watching Cam with fidgetings hands making the girl asked him if he was feeling ill. After he had reassured her that he was fine Cam started telling him how Moose had come back to her life and even though she had been reluctant at first, she had realized that they were good together. They had been taking things slow, and the only reason they weren't open about their relationship with everybody was because she was afraid of other people reaction. Cam went on to tell him how important he and Chase were for her and how much their approval meant but still make it clear that Moose was a permanent participant in her life and that made her happy. Ty tried to stay calm while telling her that he was hurt that she hadn't told him about her new relationship, he was her brother, and he would always be on her side, but the fact that she had doubts about telling him was what worry him. "Cam I would never act in your relationship, but you know that you are the one person I care more in my life. Please don't tell the others you know how they all think the same, but we both know you are my favorite, and I´m yours. So I´m just asking you to think about why you were assured to tell me, you had said things before that you knew would upset me, but that didn't stop you. Now think what the real reason why you haven't been open about this relationship is."

Cam stayed quiet for a moment and told Ty that he would do that, but she also made it clear that her relationship with Moose was fine and that he was making her happy. They went on to have dinner and talk about how things were going with his life, the air had clear between them, and they were again just a brother and a sister having a night out enjoying spending time with each other. They stayed up late which proof to be a mistake the next day when Cam had to go back to work when her only desired was to sleep. Ty and Chase took the opportunity to spend some time together going back to the places they used to frequent when they were younger and remembered how life used to be before Ty moved away.

That night Ty invited Chase, Andie, and Cam to go out to a restaurant they used to go when they all lived in the same city. The air was tense at first, so Ty decided to make it clear that this was a pleasant outing and there was not to be a single discussion about the wedding or any related issue. Andie tried one time to make the conversation go in the way of choosing a venue however Ty was quick to end the conversation and to make a point of telling her that he was ready to talk to her later if her behavior continue. After that, the conversation flow smoothly, and they soon found themselves laughing remembering anecdotes from their past. Cam and Ty were happy to see that their friends started getting closer to each other as the time pass and by the end of the night they walked out of the restaurant hand in hand telling Cam and Ty that they were going to go for a ride and that they will see them the next day.

"Things really are better when you are here," Cam said to Ty making her brother smiled at her, and after giving her a quick kiss on the forehead, he assured her that it was just his awesomeness spreading around. Walking to their apartment, Cam soon felt herself relaxing, and it took everything in her not to fall asleep while walking to her apartment, she was sure tomorrow she would regret not going earlier to sleep.

The next morning she woke just in time to go to her work but still made a point of telling Ty that she had thought about why she hadn't told anybody about Moose. "I was afraid because I´m in love with him and I become vulnerable every time I try something with him. Chase and you always taught me how to be independent, and part of me feels like listening to my feelings and becoming vulnerable goes against what you guys taught me. So even though I´m sure of my feelings and his, still I worry if things don't work out you guys are going to be disappointed in me."

It was late, so Cam just said and told Ty that she needed to go but he was not ready to end the conversation so putting a t-shirt on he walked with her to the school. In the walked home Ty and Cam talk about her fears and he made it clear that opening herself to Moose wasn't against what they taught her. "Being independent is choosing your own path Cam. The only reason I don't like the guys is that he hurt you, but if you are sure that he is in it for the right reasons and you love him, well I wish you the best. Cam, I love you. You are my sister, and you would never let me down, so don't ever think that."

By the time they finish talking they had already made it to Cam´s work, saying a quick goodbye Ty decided to visit the pirates and have a talked with Luke. He honestly trusted Cam but having the assurance that Moose was not playing around would make him feel better. To say that Luke was shocked was an understatement but Ty could also see that the boy was happy to know that her friends were together. "Look I won't say that I´m anything but happy about them being together again because of course, I am. Moose made a huge mistake but in this months that they´ve been apart I have seen him grow and I would bet my life that he is truly invested in this relationship. Their love is real, is imperfect and is going to take them some time to found their groove back, but they are going to do it because they are real."

Ty felt better to know that and also the fact that Luke didn't know meant that Moose was obeying Cam´s wishes. He was about to joined some of the pirates in a training exercise when Moose appeared on the door, and the boy had a look of determination that could only mean he was going to tried and talked to Ty. A couple of minutes later Ty and Moose found themselves standing outside the vault, both standing as tall as possible and looking straight into each other eyes without blinking. Ty wonder when was the boy going to start talking, would he tried to act tough or would he be apologetic about the last time he was with Cam. After what seemed hours Moose crossed his arms in front of him and finally speak "I know that I am not the person that you would like for Cam. She deserves a better than me, but I love her, and she loves me, and because of that I am going to be the boy that she needs. I know in the past I made a huge mistake, but I have asked Cam to forgive me, and she has. Part of me doesn't understand why she is giving me another chance, but I do know that there is no possibility that I would ever do something to hurt her ever again. With that said the fact that you dislike me or don't trust me is understandable but at least have the peace of mind that Cam is sincerely loved."

He might not like the guy, but at least Tyler had now some sense of respect for him, in reality, Moose didn't need to apologize to him about mistreating his sister. Sure it would have been nice, but Ty also knew that Cam would have never entered a relationship with him if she even had a minimum doubt about the feelings Moose had for her. He was lost in his thoughts when the voice of Moose startle him asking him if he was going back because rehearsal needed to start soon. Ty nodded, and for the next four hours they dance and battle with the pirates, against and with each other in teams, it was a nice way to get to know each other and for Tyler to proof that he was the better dancer of the two although not for much. Later on, Moose went to take a shower, and when he got out, he found that most of the pirates were already going to the kitchen to have some dinner. He put some clothes on and was about to go into the kitchen when noticed that Ty was standing near the exit of the vault like he was waiting for something. The other boy noticed him and motion for him to come to him and then called for Moose to bring his things "Hey, don't forget your stuff is getting late, and I promised Cam that we were going to be there soon to eat dinner."

The smile that appeared in the boys face could have illuminated an entire city for months, Moose run and gather all his things and then run back to where Ty was waiting. However, when he was about to get to the boy Luke appeared in his line of vision calling for him, Moose tried to tell him that he needed to go, but the boy insisted, so he reluctantly stop and ask him what he needed. Luke said that he was sad about not being told about his relationship with Cam, Moose understood, but the notion that Ty was waiting for him to see Cam was stronger than his feeling of guilt. "Look I understand but we decided to take it slow and that included not telling people, we were going to tell you guys soon, but you need to realize that I´m going to do whatever makes Cam feel comfortable and that includes telling or not telling people about us. Now I really need to go, but please let's have this conversation tomorrow please."

Luke nodded, and Moose promised to text him so they could decide and hour where they would be able to talk about it. The ride to Cam´s house was filled with the pleasant conversation about dancing and music; Moose knew that Ty was making an effort and he was trying to be as pleasant as possible, he could be his annoying self later on when Ty already accepted him as Cam´s boyfriend.

Finally, they arrived, and when Ty opened the door to the apartment he saw how nervous but excited Cam see, and he just knew that her sister had found her Nora. There was no way he was going to act or say anything that would destroy that happiness, he said hello and moved to the side giving Moose the chance to get into the apartment. The moment the couple's eyes met Ty felt like he was interrupting a private moment which made him feel uncomfortable, he clear his throat so the couple would focus on him for a second. "Hey I´m going to see what´s going on with Chase and Andie, but I´ll be back in ten minutes so we can eat."

After saying that he left the apartment and in two long steps Moose move to stand face to face with Cam leaving almost no space between them. "I've missed you. I was afraid you were going to change your mind, and I was not going to be able to be with you anymore."

Cam notice how his voice broke a little at the end of the sentence, and she felt bad about not having time to text him, but she had also had a chance to think about them, and now she was confident that Moose was it for her. "I would never do that to you. I've missed you too. Also when Ty said he would be back in ten, it means he is coming back in five."

Moose smile and pulling her even closer to him he looked into her eyes and just before kissing her he said: "Well let's make them count then."
