I wouldn't know...but maybe we can find out. [Fitch grins back at Remus]

I'd love to find out.

Then I guess I know what we're doing for our first date tonight then. [Fitch is happy]

[Remus chuckles] We haven't had a first date yet and we're all moved in together.

[Fitch shrugs] It works for us.

It does. [he smiles and leans over for a small kiss]

[Fitch squeezes his hand before leading him out of Central Park and hailing a taxi cab] I'm going to take you over to Little Italy so we can eat at Francesco's. It's got the best Italian food ever!

[Remus watches him hail the cab, he' never been in one before] Okay. I've never really had Italian food so it'll be a first.

Trust me, you'll love it. [He holds the door open so Remus can climb into the cab]

[and he does, looking around the small space he's kind of feeling...closed in] I hope so.

[Fitch notices he looks uncomfortable and puts a comforting arm around him] Don't worry. It's like a 5 minute ride.

[he nods and leans into Fitch's frame. The cabbie doesn't even notice] So was today your day off or something? I thought you were a doctor.

I'm actually taking some of my vacation time right now. I've got 4 months worth, so I took a month off. I'm only 5 days into it.

...Why'd you randomly take a month off? [he wonders for a split second if it has anything to do with him but quickly dismisses that]

[Fitch is silent for a moment before answering] I needed some time to myself. I...I had a four year old die on me. I didn't take it very well. [Fitch looks quickly out the window, tears welling up in his eyes]

[Remus quickly takes his hand and pulls his face to him] I'm sorry Fitch. [he looks into those eyes before leaning in to kiss him softly] It'll be okay.

[Fitch tries to breathe calmly before giving Remus a slightly watery smile] I know. But it's so hard when I know that she was killed by her own father! A parent should never hurt their child like that.

[Remus makes a note to never bring up his father then] Listen Fitch...did you try your best to save her?

I did, and I don't know why sometimes I'm a doctor. I just fail anyway no matter what I do.

No. Fitch, [he runs a comforting hand through his hair] How many people have you saved?

[Fitch shrugs] Some. I don't know an exact number.

See? You save people, Fitch but not everyone can be saved. It's just a fact that some people, even good people have to suffer. I'm sorry you lost a child. I really am but you have to move on so you can save the next four year old and the next 15 year old and the next 64 year old.

[Fitch considers this for a moment] You're right, as always. [Chuckling a little to himself, he begins to sing] Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm 64?

[he smiles happily and sings back] You'll be older too and if you say the word, I could stay with you.

[Fitch grins at him] Consider the word said, Remus. [He notices that they've arrived in Little Italy and their stop is coming up] Almost there!
