Liz woke up to her phone ringing loudly. She reached her hand over on Otis's side of the bed but then she remembered he wasn't home from shift yet. Liz grabbed her phone and answered hoarsley.

"Hello? "

"Hey Lizzie"

"Antonio why are you calling me this early... I don't have to be in for work for another 3 hours! "

"I know I'm sorry...... Can you come over to my apartment real quick I wanted to talk to you about something. "

"Antonio.... You want me to drive over to your apartment at 5 in the morning and talk.... Are you ok? "

"Yeah I'm fine.... I just want to talk to you about tomorrow"

"Toni... Listen.... I.. I'm on my way. "

"Thank you.... I just want to let you know a few things before tommorow.... I love you I'll see you in a minute. "

"Ok I love you to bye"

Liz ground and rolled out of bed. She got up and put on her jeans, shirt, and boots. She clipped her badge to her belt and put her gun in her holster. She grabbed her keys and drove over to Antonio's apartment. She up the steps and locked on the door to see Antonio standing there looking like he had been crying.

"Hey Toni whats wrong" Liz said with a lot of concern in her voice

"I just need to talk to you"

"Ok.... Have you been crying.... "

"What!.... Me no.. I would never hey I'm your big brother I don't cry. "

"Yeah right says the guy who was balling his eyes out at the hospital while he was holding my hand. "

"Hey... I had a good reason to"

"Don't lie to me I know you've been crying. "

"Ok fine... I just... I can't believe that your getting married..... I can't accept it... I don't want to let you go"

"Toni I'm always gonna be there.... I'm never gonna leave you.... I will always be your little sister ok"

"Lizzie... I just I don't know if he's right for you.... What if he hurts you huh!?....would you tell me!  Be honest would you!!.... You wouldn't"

"Toni calm down.... Otis would never hurt me ok.... He loves me.. And I was really hoping that you would like him... But If you don't I understand"

"I... I'm sorry lizzie..... I do like him... It's just I don't want to trust anybody with my little sister. "

"Antonio Dawson look at me.... I am not so little anymore... As much as you hate it I'm grown up... I am very capable of protecting myself... But I know how protective you are and I know that dad isn't in town so u want you to give me away. "

"Lizzie I would be honored....just know I will kill him if he ever disrespects you! "

"I know you will.... now we have an hour and a half until we have to go in so what do you want to do"

"I don't know..."

"How about it make us some breakfast and we can watch some tv"

"Yep.... That sounds good"

Liz got off the couch and messed up Antonio's hair and walked into the kitchen. She made some batter and poured it in the pan, then she grabbed  some bacon out of the refrigerator and started to fry it. She grabbed two plates and put some pancakes and bacon on each, and on Antonio's she grabbed some whip cream and made a smilie face on it and handed him his plate.
