Wow what a reaction to the last chapter. I can't wait to see what you all say to this one. Thanks for all the reviews.

Brittany furiously wipes away tears as she drives the kids back home. She can't believe he would kiss someone else with her right there. She's finally had enough, she's through with him. But at the same time she wants to make them work out still. She decides that since they have a counseling session on Wednesday that she'll go and give him a chance to explain.

"Mommy where's daddy?" Aly asks.

"He had to go to work." Brittany says taking a deep breath still fighting tears away.

"But-" Jamie starts before Aly stops her.

"Daddy?" Taylor asks.

"You'll see daddy tomorrow." Brittany says hoping that he'll stay at his mom's so she can just drop off the kids there at not see him.

She's so mad that after everything that's happened between them that he would allow someone to kiss him. Though she's trying to keep her cool since she doesn't want the kids to know anything is wrong. They love their dad and she doesn't want them to stop. Even though he hasn't been a great husband, he is a good dad to them.

"Can we watch a movie when we get home?" Aly asks sensing her mom is sad and will want to be alone.

"Sure, how about we stop and grab a few along with some snacks." Brittany says.

Aly and Jamie high five, smiling at each other. Taylor just frowns as he looks out the window; all he wants is his dad. Brittany smiles back at her kids, they are the only reason she's even considering giving him another chance.

They stop and grab two new movies, the Good Dinosaur and the Lion Guard along with a bunch of junk food. It doesn't take long after they got home for Brittany to set them up in the living room. She had texted Quinn to come over and is pouring them a glass of wine when the doorbell rings.

"What the hell did that cheating bastard do now?" Quinn softly asks not wanting the kids to hear her.

"Come have some wine and I'll tell you." Brittany says so thankful to have someone to talk to about all this crap.

"I thought you were doing better since you're going to counseling now." Quinn says following her friend into the kitchen.

"Well we've only had one session thus far since it's been less than a week and we have another one in two days." Brittany explains.

"Are you going?" Quinn asks still unsure of what exactly is wrong.

"Yes I need to try once more before I give up completely on us. Even though he's hurt me so much over the last two years I still love him." Brittany says tears starting to fall.

"I know you still do." Quinn says hugging her friend. "Now tell me what he did to make you so angry at him."

"I took the kids to the bathroom and when I came back out I saw him kiss some woman. He was surrounded by women and I just lost it." Brittany tells her trying not to cry.

Quinn bites her lip as she tries to think of what to say. As much as she wants to blame Santiago cause he has done shitty things, she thinks that Brittany overreacted this time. She knows that Santiago is really trying to save his marriage.

"I think you should hear him out in counseling before deciding anything." Quinn says.

"Yeah I know, but I think we need to spend some time apart." Brittany says looking at her kids.

Santiago who crashed at his parent's house got yelled at for an hour by his mom for being an ass to his wife. He didn't tell her what actually happened feeling ashamed and not wanting either set of their parents to find out about his cheating, but they know something is wrong and it's his fault.

"Santiago Lopez to see Doctor Dallas." Santiago tells the receptionist.

"Oh my god you are Santiago Lopez." the receptionist gasps staring at the pop star.

"Yeah," Santiago says hating this part of fame.

"So Bri wasn't lying when she said you and your wife where here last week." the receptionist says.

"Here," Santiago says noticing one of his CD's.

He quickly signs it and hands it to her.

"Thanks so much,"

"Mr. Lopez," Doctor Dallas says opening his door.

"Hi Doc," Santiago says walking in.

"So why did you ask to have a private session?" Dallas asks sitting down.

"I wanted to talk to you one on one without my wife being here. I need to talk some things out before I even consider telling her." Santiago says.

"Is this the real reason why you've been cheating on your wife?" Dallas asks.

Santiago stares at the man wide eyed.

"Sure you have some impulse control issues, but that's not your real problem. I just wanted to wait until you told me." Dallas tells him.

"Honestly I've been with Brittany since we were freshman and have known her since kindergarten. She was my first everything and the only woman I've ever loved." Santiago says.

"Then why'd you cheat?" Dallas asks.

"I wanted to see what else is out in the world. I never got to play the field so when I'm away I have been." Santiago says hanging his head in sadness.

"But something has changed." Dallas prompts.

"I've recently realized that the only woman I want and need is my wife, but I fear that I have ruined everything." Santiago says.

"Why didn't you want to tell her this?" Dallas asks.

"Because she'll never forgive me if she knew." Santiago softly says.

"I think you might be surprised." Dallas says. "The only way the two of you can move pass this is if you're honest with her."

"I can't," Santiago softly says. "She kicked me out of the house yesterday after she saw a bunch of woman surrounding me and one of them kissed me."

"How did she take this?" Dallas asks.

"Obviously not well since she kicked me out. I can understand why she thought I kissed the woman since I haven't been faithful, but this time I was." Santiago says. "I'm not sure where this leaves us. If she still wants to work on us or not." he voices his concern.

"I'm sure she wants to at least hear you out." Dallas says.

"I hope so," Santiago whispers.

"Brittany dear come in, your mother just got here as well." Maria says opening her front door when she sees her daughter-in-law pull in.

"I wish I could stay, but I have to go in today and the kids wanted to see their dad." Brittany says helping get Taylor out of his car seat.

"Santiago's out if that's what you were worried about." Maria says.

"I really do have to go to work." Brittany says turning to leave just as Santiago pulls in.

They stare at each other for several minutes before Santiago gets out of his truck.

"Hey Britt," Santiago softly says.

"The kids wanted to see you and I figured they could stay the night." Brittany says.

"Okay," Santiago says unsure of what to do. "Are we still going to counseling on Wednesday?" he asks.

"Yes I'll be there." Brittany says getting into the SUV.

He wants to say something else, but she drives away before he can.

"Daddy," Taylor shouts running as fast as his little legs will take him to his dad.

"Little man," Santiago says kneeling down to catch him.

"Dad!" Aly shouts running out as well with Jamie behind her.

"How are my girls?" Santiago says hugging them all.

"We missed you dad." Aly says.

"Well you get to stay the night here with me." Santiago says smiling at them.

"Is mom staying too?" Aly asks.

"No honey you'll see her tomorrow." Santiago says feeling awful that the kids are suffering because of his boneheaded mistakes.

"But-" Aly starts.

"Honey your mom and myself need some space between us, but trust me you'll still get to see us every day." Santiago says hoping she won't question him anymore.

"Okay," Aly says after giving her dad a hard look.

"Let's go get lunch then maybe we can play princess and dragon or something." Santiago says.

"Yes!" both Jamie and Aly shout always wanting to play pretend with their dad.

They run back into the house to pester their grandmas for lunch.

"How about it little guy." Santiago says to his son.

"Hungry," Taylor mumbles snuggling into his dad.

"It's nice to see you two again." Dallas says as Brittany and Santiago sit down on opposite ends of the couch. "So I can see that there is tension between the two of you." he says.

"I'm just through with his womanizing ways and I kicked him out of the house." Brittany says crossing her arms.

"Santiago how do you feel about this?" Dallas asks.

"Like I deserve it." Santiago says dreading having to tell her the truth of his cheating.

"Damn right you did." Brittany growls.

"Brittany let Santiago finish." Dallas says.

"I didn't actually do anything this time, but I get that she doesn't trust me at all and needs space and time to do so again." Santiago says.

Brittany doesn't say anything as honestly she's through with excuses and is doubting that she'll ever be able to forgive him. He's cheated on her and over the last few days she's been really thinking about them and honestly she thinks this might be a waste of time.

They continue to talk through some things for twenty minutes before Dallas clears his throat.

"Santiago has something to tell you about his cheating." Dallas says looking over at him.

Brittany looks over at her husband who is gulping and wiping his now sweaty palms on his pants.

"I…..well….." Santiago starts. "I cheated on you because I wanted to see what else is out there. We've been together since freshman year. I don't know what I was thinking baby. After all of it I've realized I'm madly in love with and only want you."

Both men stare at Brittany as she silently thinks Santiago's very nervous that she's going to walk out and never come back.

"This changes things." Brittany says.

"How?" Dallas asks.

"I need time and space. Can we pause our sessions for a while, while I try to wrap my head around this." Brittany asks Dallas not even looking at her husband.

"I'd like to see you individually at least once week so we can try to work out your feelings." Dallas suggests.

"I'm good with that." Brittany says getting up and walking out.

"That went as well as can be expected." Dallas says.

"I have a bad feeling." Santiago softly says.

He's pretty sure that his marriage is just about over and just that thought leaves him heartbroken.
