-As a Magic fan, it drives me crazy how often Maggie brings divorce up. Also I have a theory that Mickey had his heart attack just after he and Maggie had sex.-
"Do you want a divorce?"
Victor's head snapped up. He put down his paperwork and stared at his wife.
"I don't but do you?"
"I don't but…" Maggie bit her lip, "if you want to marry Caroline…"
"Maggie...how could you ever think that?"
"I don't know! You moved her in and I felt left out in my own marriage," Maggie said.
"Maggie, even before we started dating, you knew how I felt about Caroline. You remember when we were waiting for Bo in the hospital. But I'm married to you. As long as there is breath in my body, I will love you. If having Caroline here is too much for you…."
"I don't want it to be! I don't want to this jealous, petty woman. I mean, the woman just lost her son and everyone knows she's your great love, that one got away. If she would've agree, you would've marry her before we even started."
Victor moved to the couch and took Maggie's hand.
"It's been awhile since we've been alone, hasn't it? And you know who my one great love is," He softly said.
"I know I keep inviting people to move in and Bo dying, and then I've been busy with helping Abigail with the new baby…"
"Which is fine. I don't think anyone else got a chance to hold Thomas at Christmas after you and Julie arrived. Jennifer said that those were the longest naps and showers that she and Abby had since the baby was born," Victor said.
"Thank you for taking care of the damages from broken windows.. I know that was a huge relief to Abby…"
"Sweetheart, it's just money. I also told Jennifer to send any other bills to me. That's one thing I can do. You look so tired. I know you haven't been sleeping," Victor said.
"I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the next crisis. After you told me about Caroline's vision of you having a heart attack, I keep thinking of losing Mickey. "
"Maggie, I told you I'm fine."
Maggie nodded. Victor studied his wife's face.
"What can I do for you?"
"I don't know! I just don't know. Be nicer to Theresa? Stop fighting with Phillip? Every time you raise your voice, I just picture your heart straining."
"Why don't we actually go upstairs and just be together?" Victor said.
"I told you I was afraid of killing you by having sex and you immediately want to fool around?" Maggie laughed.
"Well, you know I didn't mention sex. I meant just being alone together, But if you want to make out a bit, I wouldn't object."
"You never do," Maggie kissed her husband.
"Thanks for taking me shopping, Grandma. We should do more stuff together," Theresa said.
"We should and I enjoyed buying baby clothes, again." Caroline heard a familiar low chuckle, followed by a giggle. She peeked into the living room. The sight of Maggie and Victor laughing and cuddling made a lump in her throat .
"It's nice to see them getting along better. When Maggie keeps Victor happy, the whole house is happier," Theresa smiled.
He's not yours. You made your choice years ago. Caroline told herself.
It still didn't stop her heart from breaking.
