Prologue
"OH I can't wait till Dad gets home!" Cassie shouted disgusted by her mother's actions.
"Cassie you can't tell your father." Sharon told her daughter in a pleading voice while crying.
"Why not?! You cheated, broke your vows. He and Aiden have become close friends and you go and do this! He loves you, he loves me and Noah but you're just selfish!" Cassie spat.
"Cassidy Ann, you will not talk to me in that matter! I know that you are upset and angry which is justified but I will not let you disrespect me."
"You're right; I do have the right to be pissed! Things just started to get better and you go and do something like this! How long… how long has is been going on? I deserve to know."
"Since November."
"November, you gotta be kidding me."
"Cassie, I'm human; I make mistakes just like everyone else."
"Whatever, I'm going up to my room until Dad gets home!" Cassie yelled marching up the stairs to her room
"Mom, I can't believe this! You…you and Nick Newman! Someone that I've come to trust and look up to and you go and sleep with him, why?!"
"Daniel…I just, I don't know why. We needed each other. I was selfish, we were selfish. It was over it wasn't suppose to happen and I'm sorry."
"Damn right you're selfish. Whatta 'bout me, or Noah or Cassie or Sharon, huh? Whatta 'bout us." He shouted running his hand over his head.
"Daniel I'm sorry I'm so sorry."
Walking towards the door "I can't do this; I can't be here with you, not now. Not knowing what I know, I've gotta get out of here!" He said before leaving the apartment.
Later that day at the Newman's
Noah was spending that night at a Jimmy's; which Nick was thankful for. He had to tell her, he had to before someone else did. He put his key in the door like he always did and opened it. It was quite, too quiet.
"Cassie, Sharon I'm home." He yelled upstairs only seconds later to be greeted by his daughter how said she had something every important to tell him. Next came Sharon who said almost the same exact thing.
"Cassie, would you please go up to your room. Your dad and I have something to discuss."
Cassie just stood there with her arms crossed and stared at her mother.
"Cassie, would you please do what your mother asked and I'll be up and a few?" Nick asked her.
"Sure thing Dad. I love you" She said giving him a hug
"Love you too sweetheart."
Once Sharon heard the door close she looked at her husband and told him to take a seat.
"I just want you to know I never meant for this to happen and I'm truly sorry and hopefully you can forgive." She said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"Babe, whatever it is it can't be that bad."
"Nick, I've been having an affair for the past few months with Aiden. Cassie walked in on us today at the office and I had to tell you before she did." She confessed
As shocked as he was Nick began to laugh. He was pissed no doubt but he'd been doing the same thing and he'd planned on telling her the same thing.
"Nicholas, I just told you that I've having an affair with someone who's become a close friend and you laugh."
" Sharon, don't get me wrong I'm upset, I shouldn't be but I am; things are just too surreal."
She looked at him like he was crazy while asking "What do you mean?"
"Today Daniel walked in on Phyllis and me having sex in her apartment. Our affair has been going on since Michael and Lauren's wedding. Today I planned on telling you but you kinda beat me to it."
They stared at each other for a while taking in everything that they'd just heard from each other until Sharon broke the silence.
"What does this mean?"
"I have not a clue." Nick answered honestly, relieved that he'd told his wife the truth, wondering what would happen next.
Her phone vibed and she knew it was Nick. Even when her ringer was on is always vibrated for him. Finally she flipped it open and said hello.
"Hey" Nick said
"You stayed. Even when Daniel told you to leave you stayed, why?"
"I was worried about you."
"Ok, that was sweet I guess. We have big problems Nick, I mean really big…"
"I know. How did we get into this situation?"
"I have no clue."
"I told her."
"Oh…ok. How did she react?"
"OK seeing as though she and Aiden have been having an affair as well."
"Wow, that's a shocker."
"Yeah, Cassie walked in on them and forced her to tell."
"Wow, Nick I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it karma. I've been thinking about you all day."
"You have?"
"I have, I shouldn't have been but I have. I just can get you off of my mind. I've was worried."
"Well I'm ok I think. I was worried about you. How is Cassie?"
"She's upset with the both of us, but I can't blame her. What about Daniel."
"Daniel is..." She heard the lock click. "Here, I gotta go."
She hung up the phone before he could say bye. Daniel walked in and threw his keys down and took off this jacket.
"You're back." She said as Daniel sat in a chair not wanting to be anywhere near the sofa.
"I live here."
"I know but I'm glad your back."
"I'm sorry for yelling like it did, but I'm not sorry for what I said. I could've done it without yelling but I didn't."
"I understand."
"Why mom, why do it. I mean we're just getting over the whole accident thing but you guys go and do this."
"Daniel it's complicated and hard to explain."
"Then please un-complicate it."
"We're only human, we make mistakes."
"Do you regret what you did?"
"No, no at all."
Present Day- May at the Coffee Shop
"Hey Daniel." Cassie said with a smile
"Hey, so how are you?"
"Ok, what about yourself."
"Fine, just waiting for graduation."
"It'll be here before you know it."
"Yeah I know it. By the way I heard about your parent I'm sorry."
"OH its ok, it's for the best, they haven't been happy in a long time."
"How is Noah I haven't seen him a few weeks?"
"He's adjusting, dad moved out and he was a little upset but he's getting better. Hey do you want to take a seat?"
"Yeah, why not." He said walking out to the patio.
"So how are things with Lily going?"
"Things are good. Our parents are finally accepting the fact that we're married which is good."
"Well I'm happy for you."
"Thanks."
"So how is your mom?"
"Good and glad to be back at NVP. She was even happier that we stopped by on Mother's Day."
"Well that's good."
"What about your dad?"
"He's ok I guess. I'm still not talking to him much and the same with my mom. I mean how could that do what they did?"
"I wonder that everyday, and I still don't know."
"So I'll pick the kids up tomorrow."
"Yeah say about 6:30 or so."
"That's fine."
"Ok, tomorrow. I'll make sure they're ready. I'm off to lunch if you need me."
"No, I'm fine. See ya."
"See ya." Sharon said walking out the door.
"And Sharon…"
"Yeah, Nick."
"Thanks for making this as easy as possible."
"No problem, I just want our children to be happy." She said closing the door.
Soon after that, while Nick was eating a sandwich from the deli across the street in walked Phyllis.
"OH, I'm sorry I didn't know anyone was in here." She said backing up about to leave.
"Hey, come on sit, eat with me." He said giving her his million dollar smile.
"I will. How can I say no to a face like that?"
"You can't."
She closed the door and took a seat.
"I've been meaning to find you." She said taking a lot of mustard and squeezing it on her sandwich.
"Now that is just wrong. You're losing the flavor of the sandwich."
"I like to think of it as enhancing the flavor." She responded taking a large bite out of her sandwich.
"If you say so. So what did you want to talk to me about?"
She stared at him. She couldn't just tell him while eating sandwiches in the Newman conference room.
"I um…"
"OH come on, and just say it. It's hard to believe that you are lost for words!" He said jokingly
She inhaled deeply and began to speak. "Nick this is really important and I need you to here me out on this."
"Ok" He responded as she had his full attention.
"I don't know how to say this so here I go. I'm pregnant." She said trying to read her best friend and once lover's face.
