The next morning Amanda was sitting in the living room with Katie. Alli came down the stairs. She looked awful. Amanda felt so bad for her. She looked like she hadn't slept at all. " Good morning.Alli" " Good Morning." Alli sat down in the near chair and started into space. The phone rang. Alli answered it. Her eyes lit up. " Hi Sean." I should have knowen said Amanda to herself as she smiled at the fact that Alli was. "Sure. Yeah. Eleven is fine," Alli hung up the phone. " Sean is going to come over at eleven. We're going to go to Carlinos and rollarblading in the park," said Alli is a very happy voice. " Okay. Have fun." " I will." Alli started to leave." Oh and Alli. Take your phone incase I need to call you. Okay?" "Yeah. I will." Alli went upstairs and changed into jeans and a sweater. "I'll see you later mom," said Alli comming into the living room. " Okay bye Alli," said Amanda as she picked Katie up out of her stroller. Alli went outside to wait for Sean.

Cameron came out of the den. He had been doing his paper work. "Hey there beautiful and little beautiful. He kissed Amanda and kissed Katie on the forhead.

"Dada,"said Katie. Amanda looked at Cameron and Cameron looked at Amanda. "Did she just say what i think she did?" Asked Cameron. " Yeah. She said Dada. Cameron. She's talking to you," said Amanda with a big smile. It was the moment they had been waiting for. Little Kaite Sinclair had said her first word. Amanda and Cameron were so happy. Amanda ran outside were Alli was waiting. " Alli. Alli. Katie just said her first word." Alli looked shock. " What? She did? What did she say?" "Dada," said Amanda. " Aww. Really," said Alli. Sean pulled up just then. He got out of the car and walked to the front stairs. " Hi. What's everyone smiling about?" Asked Sean. "Katie said her first word. Dada," said Alli. " Oh. That's cool,"said Sean. "I've got to go see if she'll say it again,"said Alli. Sean laughed at how excited Alli was. She drug him in with her. She picked Katie up. "Kaite. Will you say dada again.Please. Come on Katie. Say dada. Can you say dada?" Asked Alli. "Dada," said Katie."Aww,"said Alli. She sat her back down. "That's really cool,"said Alli. Amanda and Cameron took Katie upstairs. " Well are you ready?"Asked Sean. "Yeah,"said Alli. Alli and Sean left.

Amanda went into the study to get a few files off of the table. She picked up a book and a picture of Mac feel onto the floor. She smiled. " Daddy. I wish you were here. I wish you could walk me down the isle. I wish you were here to hear your granddaughter's first word," said Amanda as she looked at the picture. Matt walked in. "Who are you talking to?" "Daddy." Amanda handed him the picture. Matt smiled. "Those were great times weren't they," said Matt. "Yeah. I just wish he could be here for my wedding." "Yeah. That's how I felt when Jasmin was born. I wish dad could have seen her." Amanda gave Matt a sympathetic smile. "Katie said her first word today,"said Matt."Really. What?" "Dada." Amanda told Matt the long story.

Cameron was in the living room waiting for Gary to come over. Gary had called about a case and Cameron told him about Katie and Gary had to come over. The door bell rang. He pulled the door open thinking it was Gary. There stood a woman holding a small child. The woman was in tears. "Cameron,"said the woman. "Oh no. Is it Kevin?" Asked Cameron. Amanda came in to see this crying woman throw her arms around Cameron. "Cassie. What happened?" Asked Cameron. "Kevin. Kevin. He is.... missing in action. Cameron...He's gone," said Cassie. "Oh. Cassie. It's going to be okay.I'm sure he's alive,"said Cameron. Cameron tried to pretend that everything was okay even though he knew it was a very small possiblity that he was alive.Cassie put her son down. He stood there. We was around the age of three. He looked at Amanda. "Cameron. What's going on?" Asked Amanda walking completly into the room. "Amanda. This is Cassie." Cameron paused. My sister,Cassie and her son Brian." "Your sister,"said Amanda. "This is Amanda. The woman your going to marry,"said Cassie fighting back tears. "Yes,"said Cameron. "Why didn't you tell me about her Cameron?" Asked Amanda. "She's been pretty much gone latley. I didn't think I'd ever see you again,Cassie," said Cameron. "Please.Come in Cassie." "What's wrong with her?" Asked Amanda in a whisper to Cameron. "Her husband is missing in action,"said Cameron.

"I can't believe this is happening,"said Cassie holding Brian. Gary knocked at the door. "Cameron hey,"he said. He saw Brian standing behind Cameron. "Is Cassie here? "Yeah. Kevin is missing in action and Cassie doesn't think that he well..you know.""Oh no,"said Gary. "Hey little sister,"said Gary. "Gary." Cassie went over and hugged her big brother.

Alli and Sean were in the park putting on their rollarblades. "So did you bring that camera of your with you?" Asked Alli. "Yeah. Accually I did. I figured I'd take some pics and if I don't get them developed before I..I'll send them to you,"said Sean. Alli gave a weak cover up smile. "I wish there was a way that I could get them to let me stay,"said Sean. "Yeah.May be we can think of something,"said Alli. "Yeah. Hopefully,"said Sean.

Amanda and Cameron's little baby had finally said her first word. Cassie was trying to hold on to the hope that Kevn was alive. Alli and Sean were getting ready to lose eachother. Things were going bad and good for all of them.

Alli got up and left.

Amanda got up and went into the living room were Cameron was now sitting with Brian. "Where did Cassie go?" "She went upstairs to take a shower." "Oh." Amanda sat down next to Cameron. "Alli's really upset. Isn't she," said Cameron. "Yeah. It's going to be hard on her."

Alli pulled into the McKinnion's drive way at 10:00 on the dot. Sean was sitting on the steps with his duffel bag beside him. Alli got out of the car. "Hi." "Hi Alli." Sean lifted his bag and they got into the car. "I can't believe you're really leaving," said Alli as Sean put his bag in her trunk. "Yeah. Me neither, but for today we need to try to forget about it or we will ruin today,"said Sean. "Your right. Where do you want to go?" "How about the park," said Sean. "Great idea."

Sean and Alli were in the park. In the exact spot where they first met. "Oh. I have something for you." Sean pulled out an package. Alli opened it. It was a bunch of pictures he had taken of them together. She came to an envelope. "Don't read it now,"said Sean. "Okay,"said Alli. "I wrote my address and number in there too,"said Sean turning the paper over. Alli nodded. "I'll call you,"she said through tears.

"Okay. Now let's stop this sad stuff,"said Sean. He pulled her up. They rollar bladed, took a walk by the water and just hung out together. The time came though. "Alli. We better head over to the airport,"said Sean. It was one o'clock. It took almost and hour to get there. "Yeah. Your right." They went to the car.

In the car they talked about what they were going to do about dating in the future. " I know that this is going to be hard, but I think we have a great relationship and I don't think that even after we are miles and miles apart anything will change," said Sean. " I agree. I don't want to date other people," said Alli. " That's good. Neither do I," said Sean. "I want you to call me when you get there," said Alli and she parked the car. "I promise. I will," said Sean. "That drive went too fast." "Yeah. I know." They took Sean's bag and check it in and sat and waited for the plane to get there. It was 2:15. The plan was there,but they weren't loading people on yet. Alli sat with her head on his shoulder. "I'm really going to miss you,Sean." " I know. I'm going to miss you too." Alittle while later they called to board the plane. Sean didn't go right away. "I guess this is good bye," said Alli. "No Alli. This isn't good bye. This is," he paused," this is a I'll see you later." Alli smiled through tears. " Okay. I'll see you later,"said Alli. "I'll see you later," said Sean. Alli hugged him and they kissed. Sean started to walk away, but turnned around. "Oh and Alli. I love you." "I love you too,"said Alli. Sean dissapeared into the dark tunnel. Alli stood there a minute. She watched his plane take off. She watched it untill she could see it anymore. "I'll see you later," she whispered.

Alli- We went out with Gary and Josie. Be home soon. Mom.

Great. She thought. She went into the living room.She laid her bag on the chair and an envelope was hanging partly out. It was the letter from Sean. She opened it slowly.

Alli was very upset by this. She went upstairs.

Amanda and Cameron came in with Katie. "Well Cameron. I guess this is good-bye. Until tomorrow," said Amanda. Cameron and Amanda were going to get married tomorrow. Cameron was staying the night at Gary and Josie's. Cassie and Brian were also going to stay with Gary and Josie. "Yeah. Tomorrow Princess, you and I are finally going to get married," said Cameron. "I'll see you tomorrow," said Amanda. "Tomorrow. I love you,Amanda." "I love you too." They kissed and he left. Amanda took Katie upstairs.

Paulina, Rachel and Alli were all up in Amanda's room helping her get ready. "Hold still Amanda,"said Paulina. Paulina was doing Amanda's hair. "Okay. Here I go,"said Amanda. She went into the other room to change into her wedding dress. Alli sat on the edge of the bed. She was kind of down, but was really trying not to let anyone notice. She didn't want to ruin her mom's big day. "How are you holding up?" Asked Paulena as she sat next to Alli. "Okay." "I know.Alli. It's alright to be sad. I think your doing a wonderful job of supporting your mom. You aren't letting the whole Sean thing interfer with your mom's wedding." "Thanks." Paulina hugged Alli. Amanda came out in her wedding dress. "I'm ready." "Amanda you look wonderful,"said Rachel. "Mom. You look great." "Very nice,"said Paulina. "I'm ready, I'm ready to marry Cameron." Amanda smiled at the thought of marrying Cameron

"I understand that you have written your own vows," said the priest.

"Yes,"said Cameron. He looked into Amanda eyes. "Amanda. From the first time I saw you I knew that you were a princess. I loved you even then and I kept pushing you away. I screw-- messed up ( he remembered he was in church and changed his wording) so many times......." he paused. "I'm not very good with words. You know that, but Amanda I promise I will always love you. Always and Forever. I swear. You will always be my princess," said Cameron.

A tear fell from Amanda's eye. " Cameron. We've been through a lot together. All of the hard times just made us stronger. We have a beautiful little baby. You, Katie, Alli and I will all be a family. That is something I've always wanted. I also knew when we first met that I loved you and I always will. I love you," said Amanda. Cameron got a tear in his eye.

The priest went on. They exchanged rings. "Now I pronounce Mr. and Mrs. Cameron Sinclair."

Amanda and Cameron went down the isle together.

"Well looks like your a memeber of the family now,"said Gary. "Yeah.I guess so. wow. That sounds so weird. Your my..brother-in-law," said Amanda. "How would my favorite sister-in-law like to dance?" "Of course." Amanda and Gary went out and danced.

Alli was standing on the outside of everyone. She missed Sean. " What's a pretty girl like you standing here all by yourself?" She knew that voice. She turnned around. There stood Sean. "Sean!" "The one and only." She hugged him. He kissed her."I tried to make it to the wedding. I'm sorry." "I don't care. I'm just so glad your here. That's all that matters. So. How long are you here for?" "Atleast untill I'm eighteen." Alli looked at him. "No. For real. Sean." "For real. Jake and Vicky called yesturday and told me that I could make their basement into a room and come back. They knew how much I wanted to come back." "I'm so glad." She hugged him again.

The music changed to a different song. "God Must Have Spent A little More time on you" by Nsync came on. "Let's dance," said Sean. Sean and Alli went out to dance. "My I cut in?" Asked Cameron to Gary. "Of course." Gary walked back over to Josie. "May I have this dance?" "Always." They all danced to the slow song with the one they loved. Everything was right in Bay City.
