Monk walked into the living room of his home with one glistening tear running down his rosy red cheeks. Natalie turned to him with concern in her eyes and said with a very concerned voice, " Monk what's wrong".

Monk turned to her and stuttered " i…i..ttt…it has happened again".

Natalie looked forward towards her teary eyed friend and said, " what what's happened".

Monk tried to speak, but, before the first word could pass through his dry, cracked, lips he burst into tears. Natalie, with tears in her own eyes came over to Monk and hugged the complete wreck that sat before her. Monk began to move back but after a moment of hesitation he accepted her heart felt embrace.

After what is at least a half an hour of love and concern that was held between both Monk and Natalie, Monk stepped back and began to whimper, " I can't believe that after all these years he, he would take another innocent persons life".

Natalie looked at Monk with tears in her eyes and said, "what are you talking about".

Monk looked up and once again began to cry; Natalie hugged him once more but then realized that she couldn't take the anticipation any more. She looked up at Monk and said " Monk, I cannot help you unless you tell me what is going on".

Monk still crying cried " it was him it was the…"

Monk no longer could take it; he cried out to Natalie that he wasn't going to be able to tell her anymore until he had full composure. Natalie finally understood how painful the situation was for Monk. After hours and hours of tears, comfort, love and pain Monk finally had regained his composure.

Monk began to tell this painful secret but before he could finish, a knock on the door startled them both Natalie looked at the door with an angry look because she still didn't know what Monk was so torn up about. Natalie turned to Monk and told him that she would get the door. Natalie walked towards the door mumbling dirty words, and slowly opened the door, it was detective Leland Stottlemyer, he was surprised to see that Natalie was answering the door but then he thought about it and realized that it was customary for her to be at his house.

Leland asked " umm Natalie have you seen Monk"

Natalie replied, " Yes I believe that this is his house and that eventually people do come home."

" Natalie I could do without your sarcasm right now" Leland said with an unhappy voice

"Sorry detective, he's right here but could you come back later this is kind of a bad time" Natalie replied back.

The unhappy man replied " well if its that bad I'll just wait right here, or I could help."

Natalie said convinced " alright you can come in"

They both walked down the hall and turned into the living room; they looked surprised to see that Monk was reading.

They turned to him and Natalie began to ask, " Monk will you finish telling me what is going on"

Monk looked up and replied, " there has been another car bombing".

Natalie began to cry, and had to leave the room. Stottlemeyer told Monk that he had to go. After he left Natalie entered back into the room. She looked at him and then ran towards the couch that Monk was sitting on and hugged him. Once again Monk began to cry in his nurses shoulders. They cried together longer than the first hugging. So long in fact that it ran all the way until 2:13 in the morning. Luckily Julie was at her prestigious grandparents home for the week.

Natalie looked up at monk and cried, " Monk I had no idea that…"

Natalie couldn't speak any longer so she just embraced Monk once more. They both were crying together. Monk and Natalie were so tired from the hours of crying, that they fell asleep together.

They woke up by the rays of sunlight that shined throughout the house. Natalie looked out at the kitchen and got up.

Natalie looked up at the man who she was laying upon and whispered "Adrian would you like some breakfast"

Monk was surprised to see that she was laying on his chest. Not to mention the fact that she doesn't really ever call him Adrian anyway.

"u…u.u.u.u.u.u.u….umm yea sure" he replied

Natalie got up and went into the kitchen where she began to make a delicious breakfast for her friend.

Monk thought to himself 'I cannot believe what has happened I mean this is the only time other than with Trudy that I have woken up next to a woman.' While he was daydreaming Natalie walked into the room with two same yet different trays of hot breakfast.

She set a plate on Monks TV tray that he got out for his breakfast followed by four more plates. There were two eggs on one plate, four of the same link sausages on another, two pancakes on the next and 10 slices of strawberry on the last plate.

Monk looked up, smiled and said, "this is perfect, I cant thank you enough for the things you have done for me."

Monk had finally forgot about his problems and he was happier than he had been in a long time. Natalie proceeded to sit down next to her grinning companion as she smiled and began to eat.

"Monk, I know maybe I shouldn't be asking you this, but I think I should know…. Umm who was in the car", Natalie said with caution.

Monk once again began to let tears trickle down his face as he struggled to have the words come out from his quivering lips.

"U.U…u.u.u.u.u…ummm it waaaaaa… ss…. I cant", Monk whimpered.

Once again Monk began to cry incessantly Natalie looked up from her plate and began to comfort her balling friend.

"Monk, Monk I need to know… please tell me", Natalie said in a comforting manor.

"I…I…I….I… I just cant" Monk replied in tears.

"o.k." Natalie said unhappily.

After hours of tears monk finally got up the courage to tell her but he asked if he could finish his well-prepared breakfast. Natalie gave him the o.k. to do so. Unfortunately Natalie didn't realize that it would take Monk over one hour to eat his breakfast but fortunately it was nice because he was savoring every bite. Finally Monk was finished.

"O.K. I guess I'm ready" he said unhappily.

"o.k. then proceed", Natalie replied.

"O.K."

"O.K."

They said back in fourth until Monk finally said holding back tears "it was…"
