Hawkes let out a groan, but followed the brunette through the lobby, and into the streets. "Kayla!" He yelled.

Kayla Storm turned on her heels, and bit the inside of her lip. "What, Sheldon?"

"Kayla, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to get hurt," Hawkes explained. He watched as Kayla rubbed her shoulders, an attempt to get them warm. She was cold. She was wearing a t-shirt and sweats with a pair of slippers in the middle of winter, snow falling in her hair. He shrugged his brown leather jacket off and stepped towards Kayla to wrap it around her arms. But she took a step back. She'd rather freeze than accept his jacket.

"Well you did, Sheldon. You lied to me, and you put Rebecca in danger. And I'm supposed to be okay with that?" She shook her head, and moved her left hand to her back, and her right on her stomach. The baby had just kicked her, and she was in pain.

Sheldon shook his head. "Let me explain everything, baby."

"There's nothing to explain. You cheated on me. And that stupid bitch tried to kidnap Rebecca. I know, I'm supposed to be able to forgive you, but I can't. I just…" Kayla rubbed her arms once more, and shook her head as she tried to glance at her feet, but her stomach was hiding them. She loved Sheldon. He was her fiancé. But she couldn't get over what he'd done to her.

"I didn't cheat on you," Hawkes promised. He took a step forward and Kayla finally let him wrap his jacket around her. But only because she was freezing, and she was pretty sure she was going to get pneumonia if she let the snow hit her bare arms for another second.

"Then what was she doing? Huh?" Kayla asked, looking Sheldon in the eye. He could see the sadness in her eyes. He had betrayed her. He'd put her daughter in danger, and he was going to have to pay for that. He knew he'd have to pay, but he didn't want to let go of her. He loved her.

"She was crazy," Hawkes started. "I helped her, because she was a victim and that's what we do. We help people. She took it as a gesture I was attracted to her. But I wasn't. She got it in her head that I loved her, that in order to be with me she had to make you hate me. So she took Rebecca, and she threatened to kill her if I didn't go to be with her. But, Kayla. I promise I never slept with her, I never even kissed her, or touched her. I swear to you."

"Then why did she tell me those things in detail!" Kayla snapped, recalling the letters Amanda Jones had sent her. She knew Hawkes was right. The woman was crazy, but there was no way in hell she could have made up what she did. Amanda had told Kayla in detail what she had done with Hawkes. From the scent of cologne he was wearing, to the cheap motel room they'd done it in.

"She's crazy," Hawkes repeated. "Baby. I promise you."

Kayla shook her head, and then glanced towards the apartment complex. She wanted to be curled up in a ball on her couch, Hawkes' arms around her. She didn't want to be fighting with him, especially when their child was weeks from coming into the world. But she was upset that he had gone behind her back. When Colleen was stalking him, threatening him, he hadn't told her. She had to find out through letters from the woman herself. Even then Hawkes had written her off. "It's nothing," He had told her repeatedly. "She's just looking for a response from you."

"You've promised me a lot, Sheldon," Kayla replied. "You promised me you wouldn't go to work on Thanksgiving. You promised me a wedding before this baby came. You even promised you'd take care of me and Rebecca. You've broken all those promises. You know, I'm glad we decided not to move in together just yet. Because we need a break for a bit," Kayla said, shrugging Hawkes' jacket off her shoulders. She handed him the jacket and then headed towards the apartment she had just left. Hawkes knew that this "break" was more than likely the end for them, but he also knew if he followed her back to the apartment, Kayla would probably throw something at him. It was better to let her cool off.
