It is late at night when Terri gets off her shift at work. She sighs and decides that she needs something to eat. She walks to her car and is surprised to see Jack standing there. He smiles and says "Terri."

She can't help but smile at him and she replies "Jack."

They stand looking at each other for a few minutes. Neither speaking. Somehow words don't seem necessary. Finally Jack breaks the silence and says "Can we go somewhere and talk?"

She nods and says "I was going to go get something to eat and..."

"Can I join you? I promise I won't try anything funny..."

She smiles to herself and says "Yes Jack, I think I would like that."

Jack smiles and walks to his car and gets in. He follows Terri to the little diner. He gets out and quickly walks over to Terri's car. He opens the door and she smiles.

Terri sits down and smiles across the table at Jack. They are silent for a few minutes until Jack says "I don't know what to say. I want a chance to prove to you how much I love you."

Terri started to say "I can't help but think that it's because of the baby. Would you feel the same way about me if I wasn't pregnant?"

Jack looks at her and says "I can't believe you could even think that. I…."

"Listen Jack, we need to take it slowly. Think about everything before we jump into something that neither one of is ready for."

"What are you saying Terri?"

"I'm saying that things are complicated Jack. We need to take it slow. Get to know each other again. Like we did back in Santa Monica."

"What if that isn't enough Terri? I love you. I want to be with you. I want to help you raise that baby that your carrying Terri."

Terri sighs and says softly "I love you too Jack. But things are difficult. I live here in Hawaii. You live in California. How are we going to overcome that?"

Jack starts to say something and she stops him and says "Don't say anything tonight Jack. Let's rest on it and we can talk again in the morning. Janet is flying in and…"

Jack looks shocked by this information and says "Janet is coming here?"

Terri nods her head and says "She says that she misses me and wants to come for a visit. I think it is a good idea. It will give us a chance to catch up on each others lives."

Jack shakes his head and says "What about us Terri?"

She looks at him and says "If there is ever going to be an us Jack, we need to take it slow. Get to know each other all over again."

Jack looks at her and smiles. Finally he says "So, your going to give us a chance?"

Terri smiles and says "Of course. I love you Jack. I want so much for us to build a life together. But, we need to take is slow and let time tell what is going to happen."

Jack smiles and leans over and kisses her softly….
