Rick sat in Grind, the warm mug in his hands shaking. Barbi sat across from him, a weak smile plastered on her face. She was waiting for him to react, to say something. What the hell could he say? He was going to be a father!
"Well?" Barbi was on the verge of tears.
"Marry me." The words just tumbled out of Rick's mouth.

Kurt sat in his office, Casey High, the hot new designer, sat across from him.
"What the hell were you thinking?" After Kurt had taken over Dollhouse's new PR branch he had found himself saying those words a lot. "You seduced the leading conservative radio host... on air?"
Casey just smiled and shrugged.

Barbi just looked on, shocked. So did the rest of the customers in the coffee shop.
"I..." She was stammering. "Okay!"
She didn't have time to question her decision. Rick was on his feet, sweeping her into his arms. He kissed her.
And to think, not that long ago she was married to his brother.

"Just think of it as free promotion." Casey was as calm as could be.
"Every Republican in Chicago wants your head! They are threatening to attack your runway show."
Casey just laughed. "Bring it on."
Kurt sighed. He could already tell that this was going to get messy.

"I have to get you a ring." Rick was beaming.
Barbi and Rick walked arm and arm down Michigan Avenue. The cool fall air felt good, although a part of her wished she could replace the city smell with the smell of burning leaves. Then the moment would have been perfect. She pulled Rick close to her. Now she just had to tell her mother. Suddenly she didn't feel so good.
