Scotty sat on the couch, his head in his hands. What have I done, he thought to himself. He felt that he owed Kevin the truth, especially since he was so gung ho about adopting. Scotty began to sob. He thought Kevin's enthusiasm was wonderful and he hated the look Kevin had on his face when Scotty confessed to cheating. I got to go after him! I got to talk to him! Scotty thought to himself. He quickly stood up, grabbed his coat and keys, and fled the apartment.
Scotty fumbled with the lock on his car. His hands were shaking at the thought of facing Kevin. What am I going to say to him? Finally he got the door open and got in. As he drove towards Nora's house, Scotty ran over what had happened.
"Don't touch me!" Kevin said to Scotty.
"I am so sorry, Kevin! I…"
"Just stop! Stop! How could you, Scotty?"
"I just…"
"No. Don't. I'm going to my mom's." Then Kevin stood up and went to his room.
Scotty stood up and followed his husband into their bedroom. "Kevin, please…just hear me out."
"No!" Kevin shouted, turning to face his husband. Scotty's heart clenched when he saw the tears in Kevin's eyes. "You screwed up, Scotty. What the hell were you thinking?"
"Kevin, I am so sorry. Baby, please…"
"Just leave me alone, Scotty! I am going to my mom's. I-I can't even look at you right now!"
Scotty felt as if he had just been stabbed. He knew that he didn't deserve Kevin's forgiveness.
After Kevin had finished packing a bag, he pushed passed Scotty. Scotty flinched as the door to their apartment slammed.
Scotty began to cry. He couldn't believe the pain on Kevin's face. He had to make this right! Suddenly, a horn interrupted Scotty's thoughts. He looked up to see that he had drifted into the wrong lane and a truck was headed straight for him. Scotty tried to drive back into his lane, but he was too late. The car slammed into him and the world went black.
Nora sat on the couch while Kevin had his head in her lap. They were watching The Notebook. Ali had just had a melt down because she didn't remember Noah, and Kevin was crying. He had asked his mother if he could watch a sad movie because he just needed to cry. Just when the nurses had come into the room, Kevin's phone rang. Kevin jerked up when he heard the "unknown caller" ring tone.
"Who is it?" Nora asked.
"I don't know," Kevin replied as he pressed the talk button. "Hello? Yes, this is Kevin Walker, who is this? Wh-what? Y-yes, he's my husb-"
Nora grew concerned when she saw the panic appear on Kevin's face.
"Yes…yes, I-I'll be there as soon as I c-can. Th-thank you," Kevin stuttered, hanging up the phone.
"Kevin, what is it?"
"It w-was the h-hospital," Kevin replied. "Th-th-there's been an accident."
