Grammar issues again.

Which would be correct?

This one: I made sure that she was no where in sight and made sure that Dr. Garcia was preoccupied with what he was doing before I threw my legs over the side of the bed and walked over to Benny.
“Could I talk to you for a moment?” I murmured under my breath.

or

When to capitalize words like, Mom, Dad, North, South, etc., etc.

And where to put the comma.

Ex: North, South, East, and West. Do I put the comma after East or not?

And how do I know when to put the comma behind 'then'?

Thanks in advanced!

Err, should proofread before I submit. And/or had the option to edit.

If you're saying the South, as to define** a particular region, (as in America, the South is region, the West is a region, the North West is a region, the North East, etc.) capitalize the word.
