Thank you for my reviews, I can't believe I got 3 reviews so quickly. The fic is just starting but don't worry it will turn into AP

Alicia woke early, today was the day she was going to see Peter, she was worried about what she would say to him, she was angry, well of course she was angry what woman wouldn't be, he had an affair, not only an affair, but he slept with a prostitute. She hated the looks she got when she walked down the street. She knew people pointed and stared, it was like being in high school again.

"Mum, can I come with you" her sons voice sounded from the other side of the kitchen.

"Not this time, I just want to see how your Dad is, and what its like visiting him before I bring you kids"

"But Mum, I'm not a kid, I'm 14 years old, Dad told me I was the man of the house whilst he was gone, I need to look after you all"

"Zach, It is not your job to look after me, now Grandma Jackie is coming over in an hour, do you think you could manage to watch your sisters for an hour"

"Sure, I can do that" Zach said as Alicia kissed his head and head out to the car.

Alicia had some paperwork for Peter to sign, they had sold their house in Highland Park, she was sad to leave there and they didn't get nearly as much as the house was worth.

Alicia had entered the prison and seen Peter sitting at a table waiting on her her. He stood to greet her.

"They said a visitor, I though Mum" he said with a smile, he was so happy to see his wife.

"I've been busy" Alicia replied

Peter leaned over to hug his wife "It's good to see you" he said and lingered there for a while, the smell of her shampoo was driving him mad.

"I need you to sign some things "Alicia said before taking a seat at the table

"Okay" Peter replied

"We didn't get everything we wanted in the house; it's a bad market to sell"

Peter looked at the form in disgust at how little they sold there house for, but he couldn't blame anyone, it was all his fault. "I can see that" he replied

"We used most of it for your court costs, the rent will come out of my salary and the kids will need to stay in public school" Alicia said.

"How are they, Mother said she's been helping out around the house?" he asked with a giggle, his mother never was the most maternal

"They are good, Grace argues about clothes, Zach is using you to make friends, which I don't know is a healthy thing or something worse, but Lucy is just confused, its hard to explain to her, you are her Daddy, to her you could have done no wrong"

"Firstly, Zach is using me?" Peter questioned

"FunnOrDie has a skit about you, its cool I guess" Alicia said

"Oh here" Alicia said giving Peter some recent photos of the kids

"Alicia, I know this has been hard on you" Peter said placing his hands on Alicia's, but she pulled away "But you have to believe me I'm innocent" he added.

Alicia glared, he was by no means innocent, not with the prostitute at least

"Of the abuse of office charges" he added to clarify

"You think I give a damn about that Peter, they were playing a video in Graces computer lab of you sucking the toes of a hooker, you think I care about the small print in your employment contract"

"Come on, I was set up, the State Attorneys office…" Peter said, but he was cut off by Alicia, who volume had now risen to a shout

"Oh come one Peter, I don't want to talk….. I'm not going to fight, I didn't come here to fight"

"Mum says your on a case? Congratulations, the fake car jacking case, right? Who's the judge?" Peter questioned trying to desperately change the subject.

"Richard Cuesta"

"You're kidding, he hates me" Peter said

"I know"

The buzzer went off and it was time for Alicia to go she stood but Peter kept talking

"You know there was something weird about that case don't you, The Lewis case? There was a rumor going round, that something got buried. Pitted"

"What?" Alicia asked, she knew she shouldn't but she wanted to win this case, not just for her, but also for the defendant.

"Evidence or Testimony"

"I should go" Alicia said as she shifted her handbag further up her shoulder

"Hey listern" Peter said whilst reaching our for Alicia's hand

"Thanks for playing the breadwinner for a while, its not going to last for ever, the lawyers think the appellate court is going to hear my case if they overturn it everything goes back to normal"

Alicia smiled, "Peter, its never going back to normal" before leaving.

Later that day Alicia was home, she was making dinner with Jackie whilst the kids were all in there own rooms playing.

"I talked to Peter, he said you dropped by"

"I did" Alicia replied

"I'm so glad, he is hurting in there, he is very brave, but he is hurting, he needs you to forgive him Alicia?"

"Jackie, I spent 15 years doing his laundry, cleaning his house, never asking a single question because I thought I didn't have to, and he took everything I thought we had and he just put it out there for everyone"

"He didn't want that, the press…"

"Oh Jackie, stop it please, he wasn't thinking of us"

"It takes time Alicia, give it time?"

"The only time I have right now is for them" Alicia said pointing to the kids rooms, she walked away and entered Lucys room.

"Mummy, I'm playing with my dolls" she said as she picked up on of her barbies

"That's lovely, have they got names?" Alicia asked

"Uh-hu, this one is Debbie" she said picking up the blonde doll, "and this one is Amber"

"Amber, where did you hear that name"

"It's the name of the woman that Daddy likes, I heard the older girls at school talk"

"The older girls?" Alicia questioned

"The 5th Graders, Mummy, what did Daddy do that he cant live with us anymore"

Alicia picked up her daughter and sat her on the bed with her.

"You know when you get married, it means that your meant to love your wife and your not supposed to love other woman"

"Like kissing on the lips, did Daddy kiss this other lady on the lips is that why he is in jail?"

"No, that is why Daddy and I fell out, but people said that some people gave him money so that he would give them things"

"Like buying things, its not bad to buy things?"

"Well somethings it is, for instance they said people were giving your Dad money to keep them out of jail for doing bad things, but your Daddy, well he says he didn't do that and now we need to try and prove he was innocent and that he didn't do it"

"Will you fight for him, even though you have fallen out with him for kissing Amber"

"I will baby, I still love your Daddy, and he loved you, Gracie and Zach too"

"What about you, does Daddy love you too"

"I think he does sweetie" Alicia said kissing her daughters head before heading to see Grace

"Mum, I want her dead"

"Me too, just not quiet yet"

"So, why cant Zach and I just watch ourselves?"

"And what about Lucy"

"We will watch her too, its her fault Grandma is here, if she wasn't we could stay in ourselves"

"No Grace, you couldn't, and Grandma is only here a couple of hours a day, although you might not think it, Grandma is hurting too"

"A couple of very damaging hours"

"you'll heal" Alicia smiled at her daughter "And change her ringtone"

Grace laughed before they all head to the dining room for dinner.
