"Morning." Claire heard a small voice behind her. Maisie was standing in the doorway of the living room still in her pajamas. Claire turned to face Maisie and motioned for her to come sit on the couch next to her. Maisie sat down and Claire put her arm around Maisie's shoulder. She wanted to make it clear right away that she did not mean to upset Maisie the night before. The child crossed her arms and looked up at Claire with sleepy eyes and listened. "Maisie, I want to tell you how sorry I am for yelling at you last night for no reason. You did nothing wrong and I shouldn't have jumped on you like I did, and I'm very sorry." Maisie could tell Claire had been crying. "It's okay, Claire. Owen told me you had a bad day and that you would tell me about it. I'm not mad anymore." Claire was relieved to hear this. She didn't know if Maisie needed reassuring as to how much she loved her but Claire made it clear once more just to be safe. "Maisie, I love you, okay? You know I love you, right?" Maisie leaned in to Claire's side and wrapped her arms around Claire's waist. "Of course I know that. And I love you too, Claire." Owen walked in as they were sharing their hug and looked happy to see they had made up. He decided to joke around with Maisie. "Mais, where's breakfast? I thought you were cooking eggs, bacon and waffles this morning!" Maisie giggled and got up to toss some pop tarts in the toaster before getting dressed for school. Claire made her a sandwich for school and cut up some fruit for her as well. When Maisie went to her bedroom to get dressed Owen cornered Claire in the kitchen. "So are we gonna talk some more about what's going on, Claire?" Claire didn't want to deal with the situation so early in the morning. She reasoned with him. "We will talk about it Owen, I promise. Just not right now though. I have to get ready for work." Owen was a little surprised she was going to work a day after getting such life altering news. "You're going to work today? Are you sure?" Claire turned and looked at him before leaving the kitchen to get herself ready. "I have to go to work Owen. I have too much to get done up there, plus it will keep my mind occupied on other things so I won't have to think about this all day." He looked crushed. "I wasn't going to go to the cabin today. I was going to spend the day with you." She walked back over and wrapped her arms around his neck. His hands found her waist and he pulled her in until their bodies were completely pressed against each other. Claire reached up and kissed Owen as passionately as she could without crying again. "Owen, thank you." "For what?" This Claire was completely different than the one he experienced the night before. "For putting me to bed last night, for just taking care of me in general. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself. I always have. But the fact that you insist on trying and succeeding shows what kind of person you are. I love you." He pulled her in slowly for another kiss. "Go to work. I know you want to. Try to have a good day. We'll finish talking about everything tonight." She pulled away to go to her bedroom to get ready. "Claire?" She turned back at the sound of her name. "Everything is going to be okay. We're going to get through this together. I'm not going anywhere. You need to know that. And I love you too." She gave Owen a small smile and continued on to her bedroom.
