John and his date Tracy were out to dinner for their 2nd year of dating anniversary. The two were very happy with each other. Tracy was willing to be anything John wanted and was quick to do or be whatever he wanted. She was very nice and sweet though, always had a smile on her face.

Tracy looked across the table at John as they waited for their dessert. "So John…it's our 2nd anniversary. Have you given any thought to us moving in together? Then we could spend more time together, you know how much we miss each other when you're gone."

John took a deep breath. There was a lot that Tracy didn't know about him. Such as…technically he was still a married man. He and Melody had separated almost three years ago but no actual divorce was ever finalized. He had every intention of actually divorcing her, but he'd just never been able to sit down with her to discuss the gritty details. Melody deserved so much better then just some generic divorce papers and some cold words on paper. She deserved the world. Yes he still did love her but he felt like he couldn't be the husband she deserved. And that's not even thinking about her son. Technically her son was THEIR son, but…every time John left all he could do was feel so much guilt about not being there and not being around for the little things. So after a lot of thought, he confessed his thoughts and concerns to Melody, then packed a bag, kissed them goodbye and left. John had promised Melody that if AJ or her ever needed anything he would help, but Melody wasted no time in having him removed from the adoption papers.

He looked at Tracy, "I'll tell you what. Let me take care of some legal things, and then we'll figure it out. Ok?"

Tracy smiled, "Ok. I love you John."

"I love you too Tracy."

John decided to take advantage of his week off and after spending the night with Tracy, he bought a ticket and planned his trip to Minnesota. It was time to figure out the divorce. John and Melody were not in contact at all, so he hoped this would all go ok.

John's flight landed and he booked a rental car and drove down to Faribault, Minnesota. He didn't call ahead, he just didn't know what to say, or how to say it. So he brought the papers from his lawyer and hoped they could get everything figured out.

He pulled into the driveway and took a deep breath. The memories came flooding back to him. He remembered when they tried to salvage their marriage. John had realized just how much he loved Melody and wanted nothing more than to be her faithful, wedded husband. Then the guilt overtook him and he gave in. He even called her dad to apologize for him leaving. Everyone tried to say that John couldn't handle being married to a Deaf woman and having a Deaf child, but that wasn't it at all. He just couldn't stand missing out on so much of their lives.

John walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. This could either go really good or really bad…

Melody saw the lights flashing and dried her hands off. Who could be here? AJ was still in preschool and she wasn't expecting anybody. She opened the door and her eyes about popped out of her head.

"John?" She spoke as she signed in a complete state of shock.
