Bay:

I dug my hands into Ty's hair as he kissed me. I felt elation at the events that had unfolded and that soon we'd be able to hold our little boy in our arms again. We'd only seen him yesterday, yet it seemed like ages ago.

"What are you thinking about?" Ty asked me.

I smiled at him.

"That I'm so glad all is sorted and that we'll be with Diego soon."

I could feel Ty's hand sneaking under my t-shirt and I shuddered.

"I was thinking exactly the same."

I lifted my hips and he pressed into me.

"How about we don't think about anything but this for a little while?" I panted.

He nuzzled my neck "I think that's an excellent idea. We're wearing far too many clothes."

"Agreed" I said under my breath as I assisted him with pulling my t-shirt and my jeans off.

He discarded his clothes as well and kissed his way down my body. I moaned and grabbed the headboard.

One hour later I rested my head on the pillow.

"Ty, you're going to be the death of me." I said breathlessly.

He ran his hand over the length of my body.

"I'm trying to get my fill of you before we collect our child. After that we'll have to be respectable parents again."

I looked at him and sighed.

"How's this going to work? What will we do?"

"I'm not sure. Do you want to move in here? I have that large closet that could be converted into a nursery for Diego, but it's going to be tight."

"I think it's best if I stay at the college apartment for the next two months. My father has paid for it already and it will complicate things. Let's take it slow and see how we get on."

Ty sighed "I don't want to take it slow. I want for us to be a family."

I smiled at him "So do I, but let's do this properly. Do you think we could rent a slightly bigger place? There's no point me staying here if you're working nights. You won't get any sleep with us two around."

Ty thought about that for a while.

"The night shift is a problem. If I can get this place rented out again it would help with paying the rent in a bigger place. Money is tight though. I need that night differential."

I started getting out of bed "We'll figure it out. Let's talk to Regina to see if she has any ideas. In the mean time we stay put. You can always spend the night at my apartment when you're off. I do have a second room." I ran my hand over his thigh.

"If you manage to keep it down." He winked at me.

I kissed him and he groaned. He cupped my breasts. I pulled back.

"That is…after you take me on that date you promised."

Ty pulled me back on top of him.

"Tomorrow?" He kissed me hungrily.

I laughed "Next week. I want to look perfect."

I could see a shadow creeping across his face as he ran his fingers across my cheek.

"I'm so sorry. This will never happen again. I'll go and see the doctor as soon as possible."

I took his hand "I know. Let's get dressed and get Diego."

It was past lunch time when we walked over to Adriana's house. Ty greeted Regina and stormed past her to take Diego into his arms. Diego squealed as Ty threw him in the air.

Regina looked at me. "Rough night?" She asked.

I ran my hand over my face "It's not hurting that much anymore."

"I'm not talking about that, Bay."

I blushed a million colors of red. I looked at Ty, who wouldn't let go of Diego.

"I want this to work out Regina."

"I hope it does Bay. I really do."

Ty:

It felt so good to be with Diego again. I held him tight and thought at how close I'd been to loosing him. I shuddered at the thought. Regina, Adriana and Bay sat on the couch and I settled on the floor with our son.

Bay told them our plans and Regina agreed to speak to Wes in order to find out if there was availability in their complex scheduled to open in the next three months.

She also explained about the revamp of East Riverside and that I'd probably be able to sell my house at a higher price if I held on to it for a year or two and rented it out.

Bay excused herself to go to the bathroom and Regina looked at me sharply.

"Ty, what happened yesterday…It can never happen again."

I looked at her sadly.

"I know Regina, believe me, there is no one who feels more horrified than I do. I still can't believe it. I'm going to see the doctor next week."

Regina nodded. "You're a good guy Ty. But for a moment there, I thought…"

She stopped talking. I took a deep breath.

"That I'd turned into him, right?"

She nodded. I took her hand.

"Regina, I'd never, ever consciously hurt a woman. What happened nearly killed me."

Regina smiled "I believe you. Now you'll have to work on the unconscious part."

"I'll do that. Even if it means never going to sleep again."

Bay walked in at that moment and looked at us suspiciously.

"What's going on in here?" She asked.

I smiled at her "Nothing, Regina and I were just talking."

"Well, I was thinking about taking Diego back. You want to come with me?"

I nodded and scooped up Diego. We said our goodbyes and thank yous and I followed Bay to the college.

Diego had fallen asleep in the car on the way and I carried him into Bay's apartment and carefully laid him in his bed. I gently ran a hand through his hair. He didn't even stir. I hadn't even noticed how hungry I was. I turned off the light and walked into the kitchen. I gasped when I opened Bay's fridge.

"Bay, what do you live on?"

Bay walked into the kitchen puzzled. Then she saw the fridge and shrugged.

"I'm not a good cook."

"You don't say…" I said sarcastically "What does Diego eat?"

"He's still eating baby food Ty. You know that. It comes all ready in those little containers."

"I cook for him. I don't feed him that junk."

Bay turned towards me angrily.

"Well I don't cook for him. And he looks fine to me. Most of the toddlers in this country eat that baby food and they live."

I got angry as well.

"I'll drop the food off for him, then."

Bay's eyes were blazing now.

"You know what? You won't! We were doing fine as we were. I don't need you to point out my failings or to make me feel like I'm not taking care of him properly."

I took a deep breath and walked towards her.

"That's not what I mean, Bay." I said apologetically. "I just want what's best for him."

She pushed me back.

"And I don't? You know what? Just leave."

"Bay…"

"No, I'm serious. Leave."

I sighed and picked-up my keys.

"I'll call you later."

Bay opened the door. "Don't bother. I'll drop him off tomorrow at the usual time."

I had really been looking forward to spending the afternoon and evening with Diego and Bay, but I knew that it was pointless to argue with a furious Bay. I could have slapped myself at how insensitive I'd been. I knew that cooking was not one of her strengths and I didn't want to imply in any way that she was a bad mother. But the damage had been done.

"I'm sorry Bay. I didn't mean it…"

"Bye!" She'd already slammed the door in my face.

Bay:

I was so angry that I felt tears stinging in my eyes. How could he? How could he walk in here and make me feel inadequate in a space of 5 minutes? My phone rang. It was Daphne on Facetime. I picked-up the phone and saw Daphne's horrified face.

"Regina told me what happened. How are you doing?"

"I was doing really well. Now not so much." I signed.

"Shall I come over?" Daphne asked.

"Yes, please. I'll order pizza."

I called Pizza Express and ordered a meat feast for me and a vegetarian pizza for Daphne. I was relieved that she was coming; I really needed to talk to someone. Maybe it had all been a mistake. I was used to being by myself, I actually liked it. And to now have someone telling what to do was not making me happy.

I heard Diego crying and went to fetch him. I changed him and when I was done the pizza and Daphne had arrived.

Daphne picked-up Diego while I paid for the pizza and we settled on the floor around my little side table.

"You want to talk about it?" Daphne asked.

"I'm so angry Daphne. How could he take it upon himself to tell me I don't feed Diego properly? Everyone eats out of those jars. Just because he's Mr. Perfect and cooks for him…"

Daphne looked at me confused.

"Bay, what are you talking about?"

I looked at her puzzled "My fight with Ty. What are you talking about?"

I saw her look at my face. I touched my cheek.

"Oh, this. It seems like this happened ages ago."

I took m time telling Daphne everything about the incident, our night and what happened when Ty walked into my kitchen. When I was finished Daphne shook her head and smiled. I looked at her in astonishment.

"You think this is funny?"

Daphne lifted her hands in defense.

"No, Bay I don't. I was just thinking that you barely got together again and you're already stumbling on the eternal problem with you two."

"Which is?" I asked intrigued now.

"That you two don't know how to communicate. From the first time you've gotten together until now all your problems have been because you don't communicate with each other."

I didn't say anything.

"Four years ago you guys fought about money and Ty's deployment. Then you spent weeks mystified because he wouldn't tell you about what happened in Kabul. Then the episode with Emmett and your broken foot followed by the fake cheating. You guys need to learn how to talk to each other."

"So what should I do? Do you think he was right?"

Daphne took a deep breath.

"He wanted to help and offered to cook. He said it the wrong way and you got angry."

"Like he does all the time."

"If you guys can move past that, you'll be fine. But with the tempers you two have, I can see a lot of fights looming."

"So should I just break-up with him again and go on as I was?"

Daphne smiled.

"That's for you to decide. I think you should give it another shot."

She got up.

"I need to leave. I'm volunteering in the clinic this evening. Call him."

"I'm not calling him."

"Very well, you probably don't need to as you'll see him again tomorrow."

I sighed "This is so difficult."

I walked Daphne to the door. She kissed me on the cheek.

"At least your sex life seems fine."

I put a hand on my stomach and smiled.

"Oh yes. No problem there!"

Thank you for all your reviews. Had to show this is not all roses. Not with those hot tempers. Kiss and make-up? Let me know.
