The next six months passed by quickly and Mike, Evie and Kaylee were all progressing in their therapy. Kaylee was now eight months pregnant and the thought of giving birth alone was a lot on her. But she still couldn't call John. He'd be even more furious with her for keeping this from him.

"So, Kaylee, tell what happened this week?" Dr. Parker asked her.

"My doctor put me on bed rest because of the complications." Kaylee replied.

"What kind of complications?"

"High blood pressure, stress and placenta previa."

"Those are very serious. Do you think the stress of doing this alone is the problem?" Jill asked.

"I don't know maybe." Kaylee replied. "I'm afraid of giving birth alone."

"Have you thought about calling John? You don't have to do this alone."

"Yes I do. I can't call him. He has made that clear. It's been six months. I'm sure he has moved on. Probably with Evie."

"Do you have anyone who can be there for you? A lamaze coach?"

"No. I don't have anyone."

"What about Olivia?"

"I can't asked her. If she comes, she will bring Randy and he will tell John. I don't want John to come because of the baby."

"What did the doctor say?"

"He said he would be there no matter when I gave birth. He would be there for me."

"Kaylee, have you thought about what might happen if something happens to you?"

"Yes. My will gives Olivia power of attorney. She will make sure this baby gets to John. She will take care of everything."

"Kaylee, I think you should call him and try to work this out with him. You obviously still love him."

"I will always love him." She sighed. "I tried to call him the other day. In fact, I have tried a few times to call him. He changed the number so that tells me he has truly moved on."

"How do you feel about that? If he has moved on with Evie?"

"I'm happy for him and her. They both deserve to be happy. Evie is the one girl that John would never leave or get mad at. She could never do anything to make him leave. I think maybe she is his soul mate. Even when we were together, she was really first in his life. So it would make sense for them to be together. So I'm happpy they are."

"Alright. Why don't we stop there and you go home and rest? We will pick this up next week."

"Okay." Kaylee said as she slowly got up and headed out.

Evie sat in the therapy session with John and Randy. She was still a little annoyed at John but she'd been working through her issues. They'd learned that Evie had become far too dependant on them and they'd been told to give her the space to make her own decisions. And Evie had just dropped the bombshell that she'd wanted to contact Kaylee...and Mike.

"Not going to happen. You're still under Kate's care and I still have the conservatorship over you and while that's in place, you don't get to talk to either of them." John said.

"You see what I mean? I can make my own decisions except for when it comes to Kaylee and Mike." Evien said turning to Kate.

"Because they are bad for you Evie."

"How can you be so cold to Kaylee? You love her John?"

"I used to." He said quietly.

"You still do. Randy what do you think?"

"I don't think it could do any harm." He said. "Kaylee did leave New York. She wrote each of you a letter before she went."

"A letter?" Evie asked

"Yeah. She asked me to make sure you got them."

"Keep it. I don't want to read it." John said.

"Why are you so stubborn? Kaylee didn't do this to me John. Mike did but he didn't. It was a mistake. A stupid, stupid mistake. I was hurting so bad and everyone around me was so happy. I wanted to be okay with it. But I just wasn't. And I wanted to just have one night without seeing his face in my dreams. Without feeling this horrible ache for him in my heart. But it never came. Even through the haze of the booze and the pills, he was the last thing that ran through my mind. I need to talk to him. I need that closure. And I need to talk to Kaylee. I miss her John. There are things you just wouldn't understand." Evie said crying.

"Evie, I think you just made a breakthrough. Do...you still love Mike?" Evie shrugged.

"I honestly don't know."

"Okay, Randy I want you to get the letters to John and Evie before the next session and Evie, I want to try group therapy with another patient of mine. I think you would understand each other."

"Alright." Evie said as they headed out.

Olivia sat in the hotel room composing an email to Kaylee. She had gotten one from her a few days earlier. It said that she was on bed rest now because of the complications. Olivia offered to come to Boston to be with her but Kaylee said no. She didn't want Randy knowing she was pregnant. Olivia sighed as she started the email. She really wished she knew how to help Kaylee.

"Hey, how was your day?" Randy said walking in.

"Good. I was just emailing Kaylee." Olivia smiled.

"How is she?" He asked going through his bag for the letters.

"She's good. " She said. "How was therapy?"

"Good. Evie wants to talk to Mike and Kaylee. The doctor told me to give Evie and John the letters from Kaylee. I don't know if John will even read his." He said as he found them.

"He needs to get over it. He loves her and she loves him. He is just being a stubborn jackass about this." Olivia said quickly.

"I know." He said with the letters in hand. "Do you want to come with me to give the letters to Evie?"

"Yeah." Olivia closed the computer and headed out with him. They soon arrived at Evie's.

"Guys." Evie said opening the door.

"I have the letters." Randy said handing one to Evie and the other one to John.

"I said I didn't want it." John said sitting it down on the table.

"Why don't you just read it and stop being a jackass?" Olivia said bluntly. "God! You've been a complete asshole this whole time. Kaylee made a mistake alright? You can't punish her forever. And Evie is a grown woman who is capable of making her own decisions. If she wants to talk to Kaylee and Mike, she has that right. Stop acting like a child and confront this head on Cena. Or is all that shit you talk on camera a lie?" Olivia said.

John glared at her for a minute before he grabbed the letter and headed out the door without saying a word to anyone. Evie sighed and then started laughing.

"I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk that way to him and be serious about it except Randy."

"That's my girl." Randy said as he kissed Olivia on the head. He looked to Evie. "We will let you read your letter."

"Thanks guys." She said hugging them both. Once they left she opened the letter.

Evie,

By the time you read this letter, I will be gone. My job offered me a great one in another city and I'm taking it. I just need to get away. I'm sure John or Randy has told you everything. I wasn't trying to hurt you when I called Mike. Despite what happened I truly believe Mike loves you. Did he make a mistake? Yes, he did. But everyone makes them. Anyway, I just wanted you to know I wasn't trying to hurt you and I'm sorry if you are angry with me. I assume that is why you haven't called me.

I just wanted to tell you that your friendship has been great. You were my first real friend and you have no idea how much that means to me. I wish you nothing but the best in life and I wish you happiness.

I know what Mike did hurt you but don't shut out the world or love. You will find it again. Maybe you should try with John. You guys have been friends for a while and that usually helps build something. You are the one person he could never be mad at. The one person he will always be there for. So you guys would probably be good together and have a great life and I wish that for you both.

Don't worry about hurting me if you do get together, I'm fine with it. Just be happy no matter what. I doubt we will see each other again and that's probably best. A clean break is best for everyone. Be happy and if that's with John, great.

Have a great life

Kaylee.

Evie wiped her eyes and put the letter down beside her. She had to talk to Kaylee. She had to let her know that she wasn't mad at her. But she had no idea where Kaylee was. And she was sure that John would be really pissed at her if she opened that can of worms.

Mike sat in Kate's office and sighed. She'd just told him that she wanted him to participate in a group therapy session with one of her other patients. He didn't want to be doing any of this at all. But he had to admit that Chris had been right. Coming to Kate had helped him sort out his feelings for Evie and best of all, it kept him for drinking. He hadn't touched a drop since he'd been seeing her.

"Are you sure?" He asked Kate nodded and got up to shut the door to her office.

"I shouldn't be telling you this. I could lose my license. But you have to know. I'm Evie's therapist as well. I've been seeing her since her first suicide attempt after Henry died. She wants to see you Mike. She's ready to talk to you. Only John won't let that happen. If he doesn't know about it, he can't object." Kate said.

"Why are you doing this for us?"

"Because she has some things to say to you that you need to hear. And you have some things to say to her. And because deep down, I believe you belong together. You obviously still love each other."

"She still loves me?" Mike asked.

"Come to the therapy session tomorrow at noon and find out." Kate said. "That's all for today. See you tomorrow." Mike thanked Kate and walked out. He felt a little more hopeful. Like things could really work out just like Chris had said they would.

John got home and threw his jacket and keys on the table. He didn't want anything from Kaylee. He was done with her. Or at least that's what he told everyone that was around him on a daily basis. That he was done with her and that he didn't care what happened to her anymore. But the truth was that it had eaten away at him for the last six months. He'd tried a myriad of different things to take him mind off of it. He'd tried to bury himself in work, or in Evie's recovery. But they had only been temporary escapes. At night, when he was trying to sleep, he'd be left alone with his thoughts. And those thoughts almost always turned to Kaylee. How she was doing. Where she was now. If she ever still thought of him. Curiosity got the better of him and he walked over to the fridge and grabbed himself a beer before he grabbed the letter and walked over to the couch.

John,

You've made it clear that we're done. And I can respect that. I never meant to hurt you or Evie. I never meant to hurt anyone. It's so funny how things went from being so perfect one second to completely shattered the next. I know I'm the one who broke things between us. I did that with that one phone call to Mike. I never thought for one second that letting him know Evie needed him was going to make you that upset. But Mike loves her. I believe that with all my heart.

Then again, I listened to my heart before and look where that has gotten me. I want you to be happy. To move on and make a life without me. And I think Evie can help you with that. She's the one person you will always be there for, the one person you will never leave. She's always first in your life. And I get why. The two of you have been friends for so long and have such a history together. You deserve to have all your dreams come true. And if Evie is the one who makes those dreams come true for you, that's great. But it will never change the way I feel. I will always love you and you will always have my heart. Be happy. And please, don't think of me badly. Think of me and smile a little. Even if it's just for a moment or two. Have a great life John.

Love always,

Kaylee.

John folded the letter up and sighed. She was actually telling him to be with Evie. But that was something he had never thought about. She was like his sister and that's all she would be. He read the letter again. Had he really put Evie first when he was with Kaylee? He read the part where she said he would always have her heart. He needed to see her. Olivia was right. He had confront this head on. He had to talk to her.
