Hello! So this is my first Nashville fanfiction! I had this idea from watching 1x19 earlier! (If you haven't seen it/don't know what's been going on I won't ruin anything) But I'll be basing mine of what I'd love to happen with the Rayna/Deacon/Maddie/Teddy situation! It just needs to happen!

Something's Coming Our Way
Rayna had spent the entire week that she had separated from her children with Deacon. It consisted mainly of them lying in bed, kissing, hugging, whatever they fancied. If they go out of bed before the sun set they had made an achievement. Rayna had made sure her schedule for that week would be less hectic than her normal routine and found having her own space rather splendid.
"I wish we could do this everyday" Deacon spoke as he placed soft kisses across her chest.
Rayna giggled softly as she responded to his touch. "Me too"
"I was thinking...the other day...Maybe we can talk to Maddie and Daph...you know...about us?" Deacon held his breathe. He had hoped for the reaction he wanted though the silence from her convinced him he wouldn't be getting it.
"Deacon..." She sighed deeply, without realizing she had moved herself gently away from him. Tucking the blanket they had around them closer to her exposed body.
"It doesn't matter" He was the worst person she knew at lying. Of course it mattered to him. The fact that whenever he was bothered he would twitch his mouth, and he laid there next to her, his mouth twitching he like he had eaten something he hated.
"Deacon, listen, please" Rayna pleaded to him. She could see the hurt in his eyes like daggers appearing inside her chest. "I want to tell them. I do. It's just"
"It's just what Rayna?" His agitation was obvious in the tone of his voice as she felt the discomfort and awkward vibe that was between them both like a lightning bolt.
"I don't know how Teddy will feel" No matter how much she wanted to get her own back and punish him, she couldn't. She knew how much the kids meant to him and using Deacon against him was the cruelest punishment she could give him.
"And he considered you and the girls when he invited Peggy into your home, I may add" He sternly replied. The sense of hurt in his voice showed his little respect for the man.
Rayna got up from the bed, her body remembering the pain of when she told what had happened and the memories of Maddie crying to her about what her father had said. She didn't want to think about it. She walked through into the kitchen, grabbing herself some fresh water from the tap and putting it into a clean mug on the side. She drank the liquid softly into her body to regain control of breathing and leant gently over the sink.
"Rayna, I'm sorry" The sorrow in his voice was Rayna's weakness. She couldn't resist the tone of his voice or the accent of his lush sounds. His husky voice which haunted her dreams. She turned around to see his figure slowly moving towards where she stood.
"It's not your fault. I don't want to ruin things. Everything is settled. I'm doing well with my music, the album is back on track, the girls are finally getting used to the changes, and well we're okay aren't we? I love you, and I love us" she spoke the truth, and simply pleased him. She kept his lips touch her neck as his hands gently curled around her waist and she tightened him his grip.
"You're right" he rested his head on her shoulder before continuing. "It will just be the two of us, til you're ready" he kissed her cheek again.
Tandy was currently sitting at her desk, the cold coffee was sitting untouched next to her pile of work she had to go through, and the current thoughts of the conversation she had with Rayna the previous night stuck in her head. She was considering the ideas of telling someone, anyone. She needed to bring down Teddy, she needed to get rid of him from the cycle.
"Hello...This Tandy...Yes, Tandy Wyatt...You wanted something on Teddy...Oh yes I have...Maddie Conrad...Yes the daughter...Isn't his...It's Deacon Claybourne...Rayna's ex lover and guitar man..."
