Ace walks into her office to see a pile of papers on her desk. "Let's hope everything goes back to normal before we go to court." Nyssa comes in.

"Have you gotten any calls from Kate recently?"

"No, I have been preoccupied with everything going on," Ace gestures to the pile of papers on her desk as she sits down on her chair.

"Tegan got a call and has to go away for a few weeks."

"I'm sorry. I think Kate knows I have something more important than fighting aliens."

"Graham?"

"No, the lawsuit against Paul. Graham is what is keeping me grounded right now. Just like I know Tegan and your kids are keeping you grounded."

"That is what a family does, keep each other grounded."

"I know Liam has done a little of that in the past."

"He has, now I have my brother and Graham."

"You also have my family."

"I know that," Ace smiles at her friend, "why don't you go with Tegan, I can hold down the fort here."

"What about everything with Paul?"

"His numbers are blocked, and our secretary is going to field a lot of the calls anyway so I don't have to deal with reporters. Though I think I am going to ask her to give me the phone if one of them asks who Graham is."

"You are ready for the world to know?" Nyssa sits on the chair that is on the visitor's side of Ace's desk.

"Not just me, but both Graham and Ryan."

"The man and the grandson."

"The man is mine."

"And."

"I am his, in every way," Ace adds suggestively.

"So the two of you finally?" Nyssa doesn't want to finish the sentence hoping Ace gets the context.

"We did, last night."

"Before or after the storm?"

"We were asleep before the storm started happening."

"Ahh."

"It woke you up then."

"It did, and by accident I woke up Graham."

"By accident?"

"I was sleeping in his arms and along his chest when some thunder startled me awake. As I am not used to sharing a bed I jumped awake."

"How did Graham react?"

"He asked if I was ok, but I need to get to work if I want to get much of any of this done before Graham gets here for lunch and if I want any chance of getting home at a decent hour."

"We have been doing many late nights lately."

"Later than I have ever wanted us to do." Ace puts on her reading glasses and starts reading through the first piece of paper as Nyssa goes to her office to work on her stack. A few hours pass by as Ace gets up to move her legs a little bit when there is a knock on the door. "Come in." She sees one of her favorite faces followed by another face she loves. "Graham, Liam?"

"I thought you might like lunch with the both of us," Graham who already had given Nyssa her lunch. Ace first hugs her brother then goes to Graham, gets the hand he stuffed out of his pocket and pulls him in for a kiss.

"Two of my favorite men, my brother and my partner."

"So he's your partner now?" Liam asks.

"He is, in the best ways."

"Good, I'm glad. Though I don't need to see the two of you locking lips." Liam takes the bag from Graham and looks at the sight of his sister's desk. "Busy today sis?"

"I am, this is my first break."

"You got here hours ago," Graham stares at Ace.

"I know that, you know how everything is going lately, with Paul, I haven't had too much time to keep up with my normal paperwork."

"Have you ever brought some of the work home?"

"I don't want to ever do that?"

"Ok, if you need some help relaxing each night just tell me what you need."

"See sis, he is good for you," Liam interjects before the couple could get to lovey dovey. "Let's eat."

"I know he is, before you two leave I want some to talk to Graham in private," Liam looks between the two and is relieved to not see bedroom eyes. "But before any of that, yes Liam, let's eat." The trio sit down and eat. "Liam, we haven't talked in a week, is there anything new?"

"Chantelle is coming to visit."

"She is, that's great."

"Whose Chantelle?"

"Liam's best mate since university."

"She was like a sister to me, while I was searching for Ace, or McShane." Graham has one eyebrow shot up as Ace throws a napkin at him. After the siblings laugh Ace goes into an explanation.

"When the Doctor and I met Liam I was a little mad."

"A little, you were angry at everyone."

"I asked the Doctor to either be called Dorothy or McShane after someone died in the TARDIS. When the two of us landed I went off to a club while the Doctor, who at times doesn't pick the right people to be friends with, reluctantly let me go."

"Didn't the Doc know before then that there is no stopping you from doing something once you set your mind to it. I learned just a few days after meeting you."

"How much time were you spending with my sister; if you learned it that quickly?"

"We were talking a lot already."

"Uhuh."

"Liam, you know that Graham and I just admitted our feelings for each other. We haven't even had an official date yet, because of everything. I have been spending most of my time here. Graham has been making sure that Nyssa and I are eating though."

"He's taking care of you?"

"I like food, and I love Ace, why not do both, eat and spend time with her."

"Graham," Ace shakes her head as the two men stare at her.

"You love my sister."

Graham looking towards Ace, "more everyday."

"I love you too, and I don't think I have ever loved anyone this much. As I told my, well, mine and Liam's grandmother when I met her while Mum was just a baby that I could imagine myself getting married. I can see that being you."

"Mhmm, the two of you are not alone you know that right?"

"Sorry Liam," she apologizes to her brother.

"I truly have never seen you like this sis."

"I guess, finding someone who understands all of me, made me like this."

"It's nice to see, thank you Graham."

"What for Liam."

"Making my sister smile like this."

"She makes me smile too." The trio continues eating and sharing some small chit chat.

"Well, I am going to go and let the two of you have a moment of alone time." Liam makes his leave as Ace gives him a quick hug and Graham shakes his hand.

"Graham before you leave, come here." Graham follows Ace's beckoning finger, "can you draw a bath tonight."

"I can."

"A bath for two."

"Two?"

"You and me." Ace leans up on her toes to match Graham's height and kisses him. "Now you can go." Graham leaves in a slight daze thinking about sharing a bath with Ace.
