Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.

A/n: So Tina on twitter asked me if I would do a one shot about this episode or the 100th one and although at first glance nothing appealed to me because that whole SL fell flat, I figured that I'd add a few missing scenes to the episode..more from Antonio's POV that we didn't get to see. Here goes.

Antonio helped Sylvie get out of his car and into the reception hall. He wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered encouraging words to her. He knew that she was extremely nervous about being faced with his entire family on such a big, important event. They walked towards the bar and he took hold of her hand while she rubbed his arm over his suit.

"Antonio." They turned to find Gabby and Matt, brother and sister sharing a hug.

"Hey sis."

"Guys, wow, smashing." The two guys shared a secret handshake.

"Working it." Sylvie giggled nervously.

"Have you talked to mom tonight?" Antonio asked his sister.

"Ah no why?"

"She called, I called back, she didn't answer. She seemed upset."

"She's always like that in the run up to this thing. At the thirty year, I came early to drop some flowers and she was vacuuming the floor herself." She laughed, remembering the previous get together.

"Hhmm." Antonio didn't seem all too convinced but with a few clinks of a glass and a call to take their seats, he didn't have time to dwell on it too much. "Hey, let's go sit down." Sylvie handed him a glass and he once again slipped his arm around her waist as they made it to their seats, Gabby and Matt not too far behind.

"Settle in." Ramone Dawson called to everyone as both couples took their seats, Camilla smiling and bowling a kiss at her daughter that was sitting in the front of the room. "Ok, now, what we have here tonight is fourty years with the love of my life and we're so grateful that you are here to celebrate with us. My wife, Camilla, as many of you know had been my rock, my salvation, my." Ramone stopped and looked at the crowd before he continued. "I, can't do this." He took a large sip of his drink, Camilla giving him a strange look. "I'm sorry. We were going to hold off until you've all enjoyed yourselves.

"Ramone." Camilla pulled on his arm but he would have nothing of it.

"No, no. It has to be said." Anyone who knew Antonio Dawson would see that his insides were boiling as his father kept talking and drinking at a steady pace while he did. "Camilla and I, are getting divorced." He finally made the announcement.

Matt watched the pain etched on his girls face and noticed Antonio's increasing frustration and didn't know what was worst in all that was happening right now.

"And I want you to know that this was a mutual decision." He was holding onto the microphone with both hands as Camilla stood, her own frustration finally coming out.

"It was not." She claimed for everyone to hear.

"More or less." Ramone continued.

"What the hell is this?" Antonio couldn't take it anymore and Silvie sat next to him with her arm around his shoulder, equal amounts of shock written all over her face.

"Just ah, take it easy Antonio." His father waved at him not to make a scene but it was too late.

"Easy?" His temper was flaring you. "You're embarrassing yourself, embarrassing mom."

"Por favour. You can spare me and everyone here the lecture." Antonio was already standing and Sylvie made no attempt to stop him, knowing it wouldn't result in anything.

"Party's over." Antonio turned to the crowd with raised hands. "Everybody get out so I can talk some sense into my FATHER who has seemed to have lost his MIND. Look at mom! Apologize right now." Antonio pointed a finger at his father.

"I apologize for NOTHING."

"Come on." It took three people including Matt to keep Antonio from lunging at his father.

"Antonio." Matt tried to reason with him but it was futile.

"Matt." He knew deep down that his sister's boyfriend was right but his anger was an all time high. So high that he hadn't noticed the amount of pain all of this was causing his sister.

"Antonio, stop." The three of them finally managed to push him back enough that Antonio stormed off in the other direction.

Matt watched as Gabby's world was crushed and she ran out of the reception hall. He shared a look with Sylvie and then she turned around in search of Antonio, Matt going after Gabby to see how she was holding up.

Sylvie found Antonio in a room two doors down, flanked by two of his cousins that were preventing him from doing anything stupid. "I've got him." The two guys smiled at her before they left the room, no doubt staying close by just in case. Sylvie watched him pace like a mad man, mumbling something in Spanish under his breath

"How could he?" He boiled over, finally looking at Sylvie who was still standing close to the door.

"I." She didn't really have any words for what had happened just a few moments ago. "I'm sorry." She didn't have anything else to give him. She walked up to him and pulled him into her. "Are you ok?" They shared a kiss but she knew that his insides were boiling.

"How could he even do this? On a day like today no less."

"I don't know."

"Where's Gabby?" The rest the world finally came back to him and as much as he wanted to get into it with his father, he knew his sister was hurting and he needed to make sure that she was ok.

"Matt's with her, she'll be ok Antonio."

"This wedding was everything for her Sylvie. She always said that that she wished she could have half the love our parents had for each other in her relationship with Matt. She must be totally crushed, and blind sided." He ran a hand across his face. "Now it all makes sense."

"What does?"

"Mom sounded upset when she left me that message on my phone. I should have known something was wrong. Have you seen her?"

"No. Everything happened so fast, I just went after you. Let's go find her." She gently pulled Antonio by the hand and he guided her out of there room so they could go search in search of his mother. The halls were mostly deserted except for a few waiters, picking up the mainly unused room. As soon as they set foot in the reception hall, the only person there was his father, at the bar, another drink in his hand.

"Antonio." Ramone Dawson tried to gain Antonio's attention but Antonio was too mad right now to even talk to him so he continued his walk towards the main part of the hotel so he could maybe get some more information about his parents room. Sylvie was by his side offering moral support, her fingers linked through his.

"I need to get a hold of my mother Camilla Dawson, can I have her room number please?" At first the clerk didn't seem the cooperating type but with one look at Antonio, he changed his mind and looked though his computer files to find what he was asked.

"Room 210." He looked back up with a smile.

"Thank you." He gave him a nod of the head and the couple went towards the elevators and to the second floor. The ride up was quiet, Antonio trying to figure out what he would say to his mother, what kind of explanation that she would give that would make sense to him. He took a deep breath before he raised his hand to the door, giving it three light knocks, waiting for an answer. It took a few minutes before the door opened and Antonio was face to face with his mother.

"Antonio!" Other than the surprise in her voice, Antonio noticed the tear stain tracks that were under her eyes eyes and the tears that were still threatening to fall.

"Ma." She let him pull her into his arms and he pressed a kiss to her head. "What happened?" Camilla let the couple in and closed the door behind them.

"He said he missed out on so much before, that we started a family so young." She started but couldn't finish "I should have seen it coming." She blamed herself still.

"Don't take the blame on yourself mom." His mother took a kleenex to her eyes and tried to straighten herself up, Brett going to get her a glass of water.

"Here you go mrs Dawson." Camilla smiled gratefully at the Young woman, bringing the glass up to her lips.

"I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances Sylvie." She apologized to her son's new girlfriend.

"Don't, it's ok." The last thing Sylvie wanted was to add to Antonio's mother's problems. she could see she was a lovely woman and hopefully she'd get to know her more in the future.

"One thing i know is that I haven't seen my Antonio smile so much in long time." She patted her arm gently under Antonio's protests, Brett blushing lightly. "Is your father still at the bar?" She questionned Antonio.

"I don't want to talk about dad ma." Just the mention of his dad was making Antonio's blood boil again. "And you shouldn't even need to bother with him, not after what he just did to you." His anger was already getting the best of him again.

"Antonio." His mother stood up and laid her hands on his arms but he simply pulled back, having nothing of it.

"No ma. He humiliated you, in front of EVERYONE." He was now shouting.

"Antonio." Sylvie placed a hand on his arm from behind but he moved out of her reach.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay here and act as if nothing just happened. Stay with my mom?" He asked Sylvie before he left the room, not even letting her reply. Both women looked at each other as they watched him leave.

"He's only trying to protect you." Sylvie simply sighed.

"I know but I'm scared he'll do something stupid."

"If you're ok, I can go run after him." Brett offered even though she probably wouldn't be able to do anything in the state Antonio was in.

"Thank you Sylvie." Camilla stood up and quickly hugged Sylvie before she pulled on her dress and tried to catch up with Antonio in time. She walked back into the reception hall to shouting from both sides.

"How could you did to us, to mom?" Antonio was now only a few inches from his father.

"I should have done it thirty years ago." He screamed at his son, his arms open. Sylvie witnessed it all, including the right hook that Antinio served his father.

"Antonio." She shrieked, now only a few steps away from them. Antonio turned momentarily at the sound of her voice before facing his father again.

"I give up." He threw his arms in the air, turning around and storming out, Sylvie following behind him. She found him at the coat station, pacing.

"Hey." Sylvie said softly, slowly approaching him.

"I'm sorry you had to see this." He ran his hands up and down her arms, kissing her cheek.

"Don't worry about me, it's you and Gabby I'm worried about." She could see how much he was struggling with all of this.

"Did you see my sister?"

"I saw them leave when I came down. Your mother sent me after you but I guess I was too late." She said referring to the punch.

"Give me enough time to get back into shape and he's going to get more than a right hook." He growled.

"Antonio." She tried to reason again.

"Let's get out of here." He pulled her closer to him.

"How about we check on your mother one last time before we leave?" She rubbed his cheek with her thumb.

"Good idea. Then my place?"

"Yeah." They shared another kiss before they went back upstairs to check on Camilla. She was now wearing her house coat, all traces of make-up removed from her face and where tears were before, there was happiness in her eyes from seeing her son.

"Hey ma. We just came to check on you one more time before we headed out."

"You didn't have to." She pulled him in her arms for a hug. "Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid down there."

"You don't need to worry about that. Are you going to be ok up here all by yourself?" He asked as he held her at arms length, trying to see if she'd try to lie her way out of it but all he saw was sinserity in her eyes.

"I'm going to be ok, I promise Antonio."

"And thank you for being by his side through all of this."

"You have a great son mrs Dawson." Sylvie smiled, eyeing Antonio before he wrapped his arm around her.

"And he's found a wonderful girl. It was a pleasure meeting you Sylvie."

"The pleasure was mine. Now I see who Antonio and Gabby take after."

"I'm lucky to have two wonderful kids. Now the two of you need to get out of here and try to enjoy the rest of your evening."

"Ok but I'll check on you in the morning." He kissed his mother's cheek.

"Of course." She smiled at him before she took Sylvie in for a hug.

"Good night mrs Dawson."

"Good night kids." Antonio kissed his mother on the cheek one last time before they were out the door. They made their way to Anotonio's place in his car since he had picked her up at her place. He set his keys down as soon as he closed the door behind them, his hands loosening his tie.

"It's finally over." He sighed, removing it now and setting it on a kitchen chair.

"Let me check that hand of yours." She forced him on the couch and looked at his now bruised knuckles. "That's going to need some ice."

"It's fine babe."

"I don't think your in any shape to argue." She frowned. This night hadn't gone at all like anyone had planned and the paramedic in her was having nothing of it. "I'll go get the ice." She got up and headed for the freezer and she came back with ice and beer. "Here's for a little bit of numbing." She handed him the beer. She sat on the couch next to him and he pulled her closer, placing her legs over his.

"Thanks for being here tonight." He ran his hand up and down her leg.

"It was nothing. That's what partners do, be there for each other." She took a sip of her beer, playing with the hair at the base of his neck.

"I know but tonight was something else. I wonder how Gabby is doing."

"Gabby has Matt and you in her corner, she's going to be ok. You're a good man Antonio Dawson." She leaned forward and captured his lips in a kiss. He deepened it before they pulled away and spent the rest of their evening on the couch, letting this life changing day settle, hoping that morning would bring a fresh begining.
