A few days passed and Julie, and JD were coming home but Costa had to stay a few extra days. In his office Criss was going over a few things as Minnie came in. "Hey baby what are you doing?". "Just figure out a few things like what this secret is that Julie told you"he replied. "Criss just forget it you have your secrets I have mine so when are Julie, JD, and Erich coming back". "JD and Julie are coming home in a few minutes but I talked to the doctors Erich developed cellulitis so he had to be put on IV antibiotics for a few more days" Criss replied. "Well I'm glad that Julie and JD are coming home". "My mom will be too she's keeping calling asking me how my brothers are doing" Criss stated. "I talked to Julie she says that Costa doing good he has a bit of numbness in his hand but the doctor says that normal considering how long he was on the table for"she remarked.

Criss looked up as a car pulled up. "And I think the wounded are back" as he came out. When Criss came out JD and Julie walked in JD and Julie were still a bit sore but happy to be out o f the hospital. "Hey bro it's good to see you how are you?" giving JD a hug. "A little sore but I'll survive"JD replied smiling. "How are you Julie?". "Good that I don't have that neck brace on it got itchy when I would sweat all the sweat would just deposit right around my neck" itching it. "What about the brace?"Criss asked. She lifted up her shirt and showed them that she was still wearing it. "When I start PT I get to take it off but until than I got to keep it on"she remarked pulling down her shirt. "Too bad about Erich I heard he got cellulites in his legs"Criss stated. "Yea his toes look like sausages it was sick"JD replied. "Well why don't you two go upstairs I have two rooms for you to relax in until both of you can be alone"Criss stated. "Come on Criss my wife can take of me"JD replied. "And I can take care of myself"Julie added.

"Sorry guys doctors orders"Minnie stated. "Beside the fact your wife is in New York with Dimi JD" Criss reminded him. "All right I surrender"JD stated as Criss gave them the keys. When Julie got to her room she laid down slowly on the couch as she looked at the ring Costa gave her. (FLASHBACK) While Criss went to talk to Minnie Costa took Julie aside out of ear range and sight of the rest of the pack. He got down on one knee and popped the question which she happily accepted. "Now when we get to the warehouse we'll tell everyone the good news all right" Costa remarked. "All right" and they went back. (PRESENT TIME) I guess we'll just have to wait a little while longer Costa, she thought. A knock came to the door. "Who is it?". "It's Criss" he replied. She got up slowly and got the door. "Hey Criss what's up?" she asked. "I just wanted to make sure everything was all right and to give you your pain medication the doctor sent it over with JD's" he stated giving it to her. "Thanks Criss" she remarked.

"Also what is this secret you and Costa have?"he inquired. "Sorry Criss Costa wants to tell you and JD himself" she stated. "All right I'll see you later". After Julie closed the door Criss started to smile he noticed that on her ring finger was the ring that he saw Costa with before the accident. I was right I was right as he went to the elevator
