The next two months went by as quickly as they could. They didn't tell anyone about the fact that they were together, just their best friends and family. Kept their relationship away from social media and managed to hide it pretty well from Gabe.

In November, Sean threw a birthday party for himself in his tiny apartment. After his and Kaycee's family, and their friends were gone they decided it was a waste of time and money for him to keep the apartment. So on the next day, they started to move his things to Kaycee's House, now their home.

Gabe showed up more in November and the beginning of December but somehow never crossed paths with Sean — and they were being very careful so this wouldn't happen.

Their plan wasn't to hide forever, just to keep things to themselves while Kaycee worked with her lawyer to make sure that everything would be ready for her to fight for Jia when the time comes. And also, keep to themselves until they could have a better name to each other than "boyfriend and girlfriend" 'cause it sounded too little and childish to describe their relationship— and for the last reasoning, Kaycee wasn't waiting much longer to change.

They've celebrated Christmas together on the Rice's house with the Lew's tagging along. It was amazing and neither of them could be happier. On Christmas morning they blasted the AC, wore fluffy pajamas, and opened gifs with Jia.

Gabe asked to have her for a couple of hours so the child spent the afternoon with him and his family. Jia came home crying and tired, but with a lot of gifs — Sean has hidden both times the doorbell rang.

New year's happened in their house, with some of their family and all of their closest friends. They've eaten more than they wanted and laughed more than ever. After eating, Jia fell asleep in Bailey's arms and they went to her sleep in her room for the night.

Sean settled her in her crib and went back to their reunion, taking a few minutes to find Kaycee.

"Looking for me?" He asked, whispering against her ear and surprising her, after finding her outside.

She smiled and turned around, answering what he once said to her. "Always."

Their eyes locked on each other as they could hear their friends inside counting to midnight.

3. His yes traveled to his mouth. His mind spending every second thinking about the softness of her lips.

2. Her eyes found his lips too, and all she could think was how good it felt against hers. Hands sweating from nervousness because of how heavy her pocket felt.

1. Their eyes found each other's again and it was almost as if they had a language of their own. Her pupils dilatating in the same rhythm as his... dancing together.

0. And the sound of fireworks exploded in the sky but they didn't move or flinch.

Sean closed the distance between them and caress her face, her eyes stuck to his.

And as if it was a secret to them, he whispered. "Happy new years"

Ending the distance between them, he softly touched her lips with his as they started a very needy and slow kiss — breathing each other's taste as they deepened the kiss.

Her fingers from both hands running slowly through the hair in the back of his neck as his arms embraced her body, pulling her close two him.

It was an "I give up" kiss — they shared a couple of those throughout this whole situation, but somehow, this one didn't carry a hint o fear.

She sighed, bumping their noses together as the kiss ended — different than her, his eyes were already open and staring directly at her. She said, "So..."

"Hm?" He asked, as she finally opened her eyes.

"I have something very important to ask you." She said, placing some distance between them.

He laughed of cute she looked trying to be mysterious. "What?"

"Close your eyes." She demanded.

"Kayc-"

"Sean... just close it," She said, laughing too.

"Okay, okay." He said raising his hands, surrendered.

He closed his eyes while she reached for her pocket with trembling hands. A few seconds later she talked. "Okay, you can look now."

Sean opened his eyes and to his surprise Kaycee was down on one knee, holding two rings.

"Kaycee... what are you doing?" He kneeled in front of her right away.

"Sean, I love you and..." She started crying. "God, Monica as right, it's right to do this." They laughed at her reference to friends.

He held her hand one of his as the other held her face. "Yes."

Sean answered without Kaycee needing to ask — tears of joy running both of their faces as she placed a ring on his finger and he put the other on hers.

She jumped on his neck into a hug after he kissed her whole face.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" He asked, "wanna be stuck with me forever?"

"Never wanted anything else." She said, with no doubt in her head — she had made her mind and she wasn't being a reckless mom; she was choosing love even if it might take her to fight over her daughter; and it wasn't because she didn't love Jia... it was actually the other way around.

Her daughter deserved a happy mother, and nothing less than that — Jia deserved to be loved by someone who was loved too.

He smiled, dimples and all, before giving her a quick kiss. "Can't believe we are doing this."

After exchanging more kisses, they went back inside, showing the rings and their decision to their families and friends — who were just as happy as they were.

She woke up the next morning with Gabe by the door, to take Jia to his parent's house on January first. Sleepy and tired from partying the night before, Kaycee forgot to take the ring out before heading downstairs just as Sean forgot to put his car inside the garage after everyone left.

She completely forgot about it, but Gabe noticed — one week later she got a paper on her door. He did it, he filed to fight for custody of Jia.
