It was close to dinner. Getting late. Sally had finished most of her work for the day. Lightning just sat around at docs most the day again. Sally was in the office at the cone. She sighed as she stared at the photo of her and Lightning in her desk. He was truly smiling. Both of them were. She knew that she would lose him tonight. She just knew it... she screwed up... she could just get rid of the baby... but never. She did not believe in that at all. Especially after losing her son.. she wiped the tears that were forming into her eyes packed her stuff and walked over to doc garage.

She knocked before opening the door.

"Lightning?..". The lights were dim. Which was usual. Lightning got up and walked over to Sally. She hugged him tight. "Lightning let's go home. I'll make your favorite for dinner?" Lightning just embraced her hug. He let go before answering "no that's alright. I mean I'll go home but I'm not hungrey." "Oh.." Sally was thinking how this would even go tonight..

"Well.. we can cuddle and watch something on tv. What about that?" Sally's eyes sparkled with hope. Lightning gazed at her. He loved her. So much.

"If you want to Sally. Let's go." He kissed her lips. A soft long kiss. She hadn't felt that from him for a while.

"I'm sorry.. I know I'm making things hard on you lately.." he said as he tried to smile. "I want things back and better for us. I wanna get our life on track again. I'm just.." Sally stopped him. Kissing him again. She smiled and took his hand leading him to the car. They drove home.

Lightning showered. After sitting in that garauge he smelt a little musky.

After he showered he got some old clothes on and sat down in the couch. Sally was dressed in some lounge wear. Just some cute pink pants and a top. She looked good in everything she wore. She kneeled down on the ground next to mcqueen.

She sighed. Lightning looked down at her.

"Sally?.. what's wrong?" He asked

She sighed again. Her eyes teared up..

"Just... I need to finally tell you something. And please just promise you won't leave me.. tonight. Not tonight?.." Lightning's eyes his blue blue eyes.. he looked worried. He was. He knew this must be the thing she was so ashamed of before in the hospital.. "I am not going to leave you?.. I love you so much. Do you hear me?" He looked her in the eyes. She started to cry. "Lightning.. I'm.. I'm pregnant." She said reluctantly. Lightning was confused now?..

Part of him felt some joy but then he knew something was wrong?

"And it's not yours!..." she said as she quickly snapped her head around.. she couldn't look at what his reaction would be.. Lightning's heart stopped. The woman he loved just said one of he worst things he could have imagined.. forget not racing again.. this was worse. This hurt more... "What?.." he finally spoke out. She turned to see his face.. filled with confusion and burning into anger.. he hated her... he would leave her now..

"I'm sorry Lightning.. I screwed up. After you crashed I just became someone else.. I fell apart and done things I shouldn't and would never do but.. I did.."

Lightning's eyes filled with more and more anger as she kept confirming that obviously this was no dream..

"What!? Your serious?.." he said. Anger started to pour out of him.. Sally started to cry harder. She tried not to. But couldn't help herself. "Go on and leave.. I know you will.." she cried. Lightning stood up and walked around a few minutes.. he ran his hands over his face and through his golden hair.. he sighed and looked at Sally.. "I'm not leaving you." He said sternly. Sally looked at him amazed!

Why would he stay?... she sniffled a little. Lightning just looked at her. He was thinking hard. "Who is he?" He asked. Sally looked down and didn't really answer. "Lightning I don't love him. I don't want him. And-" "Who is he!?" He yelled this time. He was angry. His voice was harsh and loud. She had to tell him.

"Ben..".

Lightning stared. So much anger. This had been the first real emotion she had seen from lightning in weeks... "Your ex husband Ben Bentwheel!?" He yelled. Sally nodded confirming the name. Lighting paced a few times then pointed and turned to Sally "I'm not leaving you but I gotta leave for. Little bit. I need to get outa here.." he put on his shoes and grabbed his leather jacket. Slipped into some jeans and left he slammed he door behind him. "Fuck!" He yelled outside. Loud enough the people eating outside the cafe heard him. They stared. He just fake smiled and waved.

He walked away. Flo noticed. She guessed Sally broke the news to him. Lightning was mad. He then saw Ben. He was at flos. Enjoying whatever meal he ordered.

He stared at him. He didn't know what he was gonna do. But he wondered if he knew already. He did take his wife at a weak moment. He marched over to flos. Flo watched. She knew he was angry. Sarge waved "hey soldier finally coming back up here?" But Lightning didn't even glance at him. He walked right up to bens table. He shoved bens food down like a bully in school. Ben stood up and yelled "what's that for?!" Lightning eyes were so filled with anger Ben could see it.. he realized Sally must of said something.. Why else would Lightning be mad at him like this?

"You... what gave you the balls to touch her?" Lightning said as softly as he could. He was holding back at this moment. Ben was a little worried but calmly answered mcqueen "Look let's settle this like adults and talk okay?..". People were staring. Flo walked over before much more could be said or done. The visitors and fans of mcqueen have barely seen him sense the crash. And he was showing them a side that they didn't want to see.

"Boys let's go to the kitchen. Don't need to be drawing eyes out here.." Flo suggested. It was nice that the townsfolk cared about mcqueen and his image.. but mcqueen didn't care right now. Lightning just stared into bens eyes. Ben felt a little fear in him. But not enough to back down. Ben looked at Flo reassuring her , "Its alright Flo. I have this handled. It's nothing we can't talk out.. I'm sure." Flo put her hand on lightning shoulder. Lightning looked at her and walked out. Ben was allowed to finish his new meal. Flo gave lightning a drink and sat him down another area. Trying to calm his nerves for him with some food. But he wouldn't eat. Not a bite... he was hurt.. broken.. Ben got up and made his way to the register. He paid. Then left out the door. He walked to the cone motel. Come number one... ofcorse...

Lightning watched and followed him. He was not done with Bentwheel yet.

Ben started unlocking the door of his room. Lighting stopped behind him and yelled

"Bentwheel!"

Ben turned around before he could unlock his door. Lightning McQueen. Angry.

"Look lightning.. I'm not entirely sure what your mad about but.. we can talk tomorrow." Lightning got closer and grabbed bens arm "So you visit Sally every year to get closer and the second I'm unconscious you make a move and wait like a pussy til I was unconscious and not around to fuck her!?"

Ben was feeling somewhat helpless "Do I need to call the cops mcqueen!?" He pulled out his phone

Lightning smacked his phone away and pushed Bentwheel against he wall "Go ahead! I personally know the sheriff! You fucked my wife!?" Ben tried to think what to say .. "Look I don't want to fight you Lightning. And it was more like an agreement.." Lightning let Ben go. Ben adjusted his shirt. And walked over to get his phone. Lightning watched him. He wasn't sure what to even say. Or do.. he was just hurt.

Ben walked back up to his home. And continued to unlock and open his door. "Besides McQueen. It's not happening again. It was... once.. I know she's yours.. ". Lightning's anger was building. It may have been once but now she was... was... "Shes!?... you fucked her behind my back!? And!?.." suddenly her voice .. "Lightning ! Lightning stop!?" Sally was behind them. Ben just looked at her. Stood there. Lightning turned to look at her.. she breathed heavy a few times catching her breath.. "I know your mad.. but beating Ben up won't do anything?.. please..." she had such a beautiful voice.. lightning glanced at Ben.. then back at Sally. "Please.. We can figure this out?.." she said as sweet as she could..

Lightning started to think about the future. She's pregnant.. with this pussys child!? "No.." he mumbled under his breath. "Fuck this!" He yelled as he teared his arm back and punch Ben right in the side of the face. Sally gasped and Ben fell against the doors beam. Ben coughed and choked some but got up slowly and wobbling.. He stood up and Lightning didn't budge. Sally started crying. Not for Ben. But lightning.. his anger..

"Ben no!?" She screamed as lightning looked back at Ben he was met with a fist. Lightning fell to the ground. Unconscious...

"I didn't want to fight!... woops..." Ben yelled and then stopped in surprise. He saw the fear in Sally's eyes..

"Call the ambulance!?" She yelled. Ben did just that. Sirens could be heard as a few people from flos ran over to see what had happened
