Jerry and Tracy sat in the car in front of his place with silence completely taking over. They couldn't bring themselves to even start a conversation which they knew would lead to discussion if one of them did not make it home tomorrow. So they just sat until they couldn't take it anymore.

"Jerry-…" was all Tracy could get out before Jerry begin to kiss her like this was the end. Tracy started unbuttoning his shirt as he did to her, then Tracy straddled jerry and they made love. Not caring who saw them all that matter was them two in this moment.

A family is people, who care when you are sad,

Who loves you no matter what?

Who share your triumphs?

Who don't expect you to be perfect, just growing with?

Honesty in your own direction.

Oliver read that passage while he had a drink at the penny. He had no one to go home to, he had sent Zoe and the girls away to keep them safe. Oh how he wished they were here now. He ordered another round and down it quick to help ease the pain. He put his head in his hands and then he felt a hand on his shoulder and when he turned to see it was he couldn't believe it.

"Zoe, what? How?" Oliver stumbles with words.

"Frank called me and told me that you may be needing more than ever tonight, so I'm here" as Zoe looked at her husband. Oliver hugged his wife as tight as he possibly can, he did not know if this would be the last time he may get to hold her this way, so he was not taking any chances.

"Let's go home" Oliver said as him and Zoe walked out of the penny.

Epstein walked into Chris hospital room where he saw Gail sitting vigil at his bed side, he walked up behind her and placed a hand on Gail's shoulder.

"Have there been any changes"? No everything is the same" as Gail wiped the tears from her eyes.

Dov walked over and placed a hand on Chris and took in a deep breath. "I am so sorry this happened to you buddy but we are going to make it right okay you just hang in there". Dov wiped a tear from his eye, he felt so bad to see Chris like this. It made him think of his own brother that took his own life years ago. He had got another chance to have a brother and he was not ready to let him go and he wanted the bastards that put him here to pay and they were if it meant his life.
