Thayer took in a long sip of his coffee hoping to wash away the pain in his throbbing head. He'd tried calling Sutton but she hadn't answered. When the door opened a little girls voice echoed down the hallway, "Daddy!" Kendall shrieked.

Thayer clenched his eyes, the noise was too much to bear. But he opened his eyes when the little girl crashed into his lap. He looked at her, "Hey darling." He said faking a smile.

It wasn't much longer before Sutton was there standing in the doorway, staring at him. He stood up, "Not now, Sutton." He said knowing where she wanted to go.

Sutton shook her head, "I don't want to talk about it, Thayer." She said as she reached her hand for Kendall, "come on sweetie. Let's go upstairs and play a game quietly."

Thayer looked at her, "What do you mean you don't want to talk about it? After everything that happened? You storming out of here and now you don't want to talk about it?" His voice raised and his head throbbed but he knew she wasn't going to let him get away with what happened that easily.

Sutton stopped short of the stairs and swirled around, "Excuse me? How the hell is this my fault?" She said loudly, "You're the one that stood me up! You're the one who came home drunk last night and you're the one who called our child spoiled! All I did was freak out on you for coming home drunk! I lost my dad to a drunk driver. I don't want Kendall to lose hers too." She looked down at her daughter, "Go upstairs baby and close your door. I'll be up in a minute." Kendall stood there, not really knowing what to do. She didn't understand why mommy and daddy were yelling at each other but she gave Thayer a desperate look.

"Go on, honey." He said in a softer tone. He gave her a half smile and she nodded then went up the stairs. When he heard her door shut, he looked back at his fiancé, "What the hell is wrong with you? Saying I called her spoiled right in front of her? Are you fucking stupid?"

Sutton's face was fuming, "How is this my fault?" She said putting a hand to her chest, "You came home and attacked me. But I'm over it, Thayer. If you want to go back to school then go. Be a fucking frat boy. Forget you have a daughter or me or a family. It's clearly what you want isn't it?"

Thayer rolled his eyes, "Don't bring that up."

"Oh no. I'm bringing it up especially after how you threw it in my face last night for the first fucking time!" Then her eyes filled with tears, "You stood me up to go to a party, Thayer. Do you know how much that hurts?"

Thayer's face softened. The sight of her in pain killed him. "I'm sorry baby. I shouldn't have done that. There's just a lot going on in my head. But it was wrong. The guys talked me into it and I thought I would have enough time to meet you for dinner then things got outta hand and I forgot and I'm so sorry, Sutton. I never wanted to hurt you."

Sutton let the tears fall down her eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed. She couldn't stop thinking about what she'd done the night before. She looked up at Thayer and she knew she loved him. She didn't love his actions or the way he'd ben treating his family lately, but she loved him. "It's fine, Thayer. I said I didn't want to talk about it ok?"

Thayer looked at her. It wasn't like Sutton to now have it out with him, especially after how he'd treated her last night. But he sighed and took a step towards him, "I love you more than you will ever know, Sutton. I never ever wanted to hurt you." Then he kissed her gently and wiped her tears, "Why don't we make up dinner. I'll cook and we can talk here."

Sutton shook her head, "I don't want to talk about that anymore. If it happens, it happens." Then she put her hand on his arm and kissed him, "Let's just go see Kendall before she starts to wonder why mommy and daddy were yelling at each other."

Upstairs, Kendall's voice could be heard from the other side of her door. Sutton pushed open the door and Kendall looked up at her, "Hi mama." She said smiling.

"Hi baby." She said moving into her room. Kendall had pulled her American Girl doll down from the shelf and her stuffed dolls were scattered across the floor. Sutton lifted her duffy bear and sat where it was laying. "What are you doing?"

"Playing with my dolly." She said matter-of-factly. Then she looked back at the plastic doll then dropped it on the ground, "mommy?"

"Yeah sweetie?" Sutton said picking up the doll she bought her for her daughter's fourth birthday. "Be careful with Saige, sweetie. She was an expensive doll."

Kendall nodded, "Mama, What is spoiled?"

Sutton felt her throat tighten and Thayer placed his hand on the small of her back, "Why do you ask honey?"

"Cause you said I was spoiled." She moved to her mom's lap and fell onto her legs.

Sutton looked at her, "Oh honey. I didn't mean to say that, baby."

Kendall looked confused, "But what does it mean?" She asked sadly.

"Sweet heart, you're not spoiled, ok?" She moved Kendall so she was looking her in the eyes. She pushed back some of the hair that had fallen out of her ponytail Emma pulled up for her this morning. "You are a wonderful little girl who has brought mommy so much joy and love."

Thayer leaned in and Kendall looked at him, "You shouldn't have heard what mommy said downstairs. But mommy and daddy love you so much."

Kendall looked even more confused, "So I'm not spoiled?" She asked still unsure of what this whole spoiled thing was.

Thayer shook his head, "No, baby. You're perfectly fine the way you are." He said kissing her forehead.

Sutton wanted to believe him. She looked at him but she couldn't help but wonder if he was lying. She felt like her life was built on a lie. Why not marry into a giant lie? It only seemed natural. She looked at Kendall, "Baby, sometimes mommies and daddies say things that they don't mean. Just like you, we make mistakes too. I'm sorry for calling you spoiled. It wasn't nice of me to say it and I'm sorry. Do you still love me?"

Kendall looked at her, "I still love you mommy. Do you love me?"

Sutton wrapped the little girl in her arms, "More than you could ever imagine, baby. You are the greatest thing to happen to me since the day I fell in love with your daddy." She said looking at Thayer. He looked up at her and smiled. It was nice to have her family back. Yet, that gnawing feeling that she was still hiding a secret from Thayer didn't seem to go away, but she tried to ignore it not ready to have another blow-up or even wore a break-up after everything they'd just gotten over.
