A month later, Allie and Bobby arrived at the mediator's office. They had finished up their court ordered therapy and it had really helped them work through the issues and fix their marriage. Allie sat by Chris and Bobby sat by Byron Sexton, his lawyer.

"Alright." Sarah Orton said. "I have read over what the therapist said. So, I just have some questions for you both." She said looking at them. "Allie, have you withdrawn your petition for divorce?"

"Yes." She replied. "I had my lawyer withdraw it."

"Alright." Sarah said making the note. "So, you have both decided to stay married?"

"Yes." Allie replied. "We want to stay married."

"Yes, we want to stay married." Bobby replied.

Sarah nodded. "Alright, then petition for divorce is withdrawn and this mediation is over and therapy as well." She made some notes. "I hope you both can make the marriage work. Good luck." She said getting up and leaving.

Chris looked at Allie. "Congratulations on the baby." He said to her. "And renewing your wedding vows."

"Thanks." Allie replied with a smile. He nodded and headed out. She looked at her husband. "Are you off today? I thought we could have lunch and maybe talk about the wedding?"

"I am off today." He smiled and kissed her. "I wanted to spend the day with you."

She smiled. "Good. Then lets go." He nodded and they headed out. She was ready for them to renew their wedding vows and start the new chapter in their lives.

Brianne looked at Phil. "You know she's planning their renewal ceremony." She said as they were in her kitchen. "I think it's time you made the peace with this and you tell Allie that you support her and you will get along with her husband."

Phil sighed. He had tried numberous times to talk to Allie and get her to see his point of view. But she wouldn't listen. She was determined to stay married to Bobby and rebuild their marriage and life. She kept telling him that nothing was going to change things. She loved Bobby and their family and she wasn't going to divorce him just because Phil thought she should. He was tempted to share with her why he hated Bobby so much. But he decided against it.

Brianne looked at him. "Well? Are you going to finally be the supportive big brother?"

"I have no choice right?" He replied.

"No, you don't. Allie loves her husband and the family they have together. He cheated on her and she forgave him and decided to stay with him. I really don't think anything is going to break up that marriage."

He sighed again. "Well, I guess since I have no choice. I will call Allie and meet with her and tell her I support this."

"I hope you will be more convincing to her." Brianne replied. "And eventually you will mean it."

"Bri, I'm sorry if I don't really believe in this. But because I love Allie and it's obvious she isn't going to leave him, I will tell her I support this and I will be nice to Bobby. No matter how much I dislike him."

"Well, I guess that's all we can ask for." Brianne replied. He nodded.

After he left Brianne, he called Allie and asked her to meet him. He had practiced what he was going to say to her.

"What's so important?" Allie asked when she got to his house.

"I wanted to tell you that I have changed my mind." He said to her.

"Changed your mind about what?"

"About your marriage and your husband." He sighed. "Brianne helped me see that you love Bobby and staying in this marriage is what you want. That, despite everything that happened, you love him and you forgave him for the affair. That you want to renew your marriage vows. So, I'm going to support you. And I wish you nothing but happiness."

Allie smiled and hugged him. "Thank you. I know this was hard. I know how much you fought this. And I truly appreciate the effort you are going to make with Bobby. I want you both to get along and I want our entire family to be happy and together."

"And we will."

She smiled. "Well, I have a wedding to plan. I will see you later." He nodded as she walked out.

"So, you finally came around?" Julia asked her husband.

"Not entirely but Brianne made me see that Allie isn't going to change her mind. So, I either support her or I could risk losing my relationship with her. And I don't want to lose my sister."

"Well, then if you are going to support this, then I do too." She smiled and kissed her husband. "A team."

"A team." He repeated. She nodded.

She looked at him. "Have you thought about telling Allie the reason you hate him?"

"No." He sighed. "It won't change her mind because it's my issue with him, not hers. So, I'm going to bite my tongue and stay quiet and pretend to support this train wreck."

Julia nodded. "Alright, if that's what you want."

"It is." He replied. She nodded in agreement.

Allie arrived home and headed in. She and Bobby had sold their other home and bought a new one. It was another step in starting over. She picked up the box at the door and put it on the kitchen table. She opened it and saw it was the invitations to the renewal ceremony. She smiled and looked it over. It was perfect. They had decided to invite a few friends and family to the renewal. Everything was planned and it was going to simple this time. Their first wedding was over the top. It was her dream, fairytale wedding. It was perfect. This time, the wedding was about her and Bobby and Carlie and the new baby. A restart and she wanted it to be personal and simple. She heard the door open and knew it was Bobby with Carlie.

"How was the park?" She asked when they walked into the kitchen.

"It was fun. She had fun. I think she brought all the sand from the sandbox with her." He laughed.

Allie smiled and took Carlie from him. "She always does." She kissed her daughter on the head and put her in the highchair and gave her a snack. "So, Phil wanted to tell me that he is going to support our marriage and be nice to you."

Bobby looked at her. "He's going to be nice to me?"

"That's what he said. He wants to change how he's been. So, I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt."

"Well, I guess if he can try, I can try too."

She smiled and kissed him. "Thank you. If everyone gets along, it's better for everyone."

"I agree." He replied. "So, I'm willing to try and get along with him."

"Alright. Now that we have that settled. We got the invitations for our ceremony." She said and handed him one. "And they look amazing."

"They are just like you wanted."

"Yes, they are." She smiled. "And I got a call from the wedding planner and everything is set. We are all good for our ceremony. And I can't wait to be married to you."

He laughed and kissed her. "You know we are married."

"I know." She smiled. "But this is a new start. So, I can't wait to be married to you."

He smiled. "And I can't wait to be married to you." She smiled and kissed him. In a month, they would have their renewal ceremony. And she would be four months pregnant. She wanted to have the renewal ceremony before she got extremely pregnant. She couldn't wait for the next chapter in their life.
