Alrighty, here's chapter 2. Thanks for the reviews!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants these two back together. Nothing is mine. All ABC.

Enjoy!

How could he leave? Wait, what was she saying? Technically she was the one who left first. And what was she supposed to say to him now? That she was sorry? For what? And one little word couldn't possibly fix everything that was wrong with the situation.

Looking around she saw that he had just finished saying goodnight to Sam and was heading for the door. A hand touching her shoulder made her jump. She turned to see that it was Addison standing next to her.

"Go. Talk to him. You deserve it. Happiness. You both do." As the words left her lips Violet could hear the sincerity behind them.

"Uh, thanks Addison. I-"

"Don't worry about it. Just do what you have to do."

With that Violet began pushing her way through the crowd of guests, touching Pete's arm right as he touched the door handle.

"What do you mean?" The tone of her voice felt more rushed and nervous than she had intended.

"Look, I didn't mean to freak you out," Pete said in a much calmer voice, "I just meant that whenever you feel that you're ready…for Lucas, for, for me…" Pete paused, gently placing his hand on her cheek. Violet was pleasantly surprised to find that his touch felt good again.

"…I, Lucas and I will be ready for you too."

"Pete, I don't know, I just-"

"You don't have to say anything now. Just remember I'm here." He stopped to check his watch before continuing. "Hey, I have to get going. I told the babysitter that I'd be home by 11."

Violet didn't know what to say. So she didn't say anything. She just stood and watched as he pulled away and drove home to his son. Her son. Their son.

Letting out a heavy sign she leaned against the nearest car, putting her head in her hands. "How did I let this happen?"

I decided that this will only be three chapters, but I only have the outline for the last one. So, it may be a couple of days before I get it up. Thanks for staying with me!
