OMG, hey guys, I am so sorry for the wait. No I did not forget, yes I got the messages and reviews, no this is not the end, and no I did not purposefully stop writing. So I have two stories before the chapter. 1) after classes ended, I became without a computer. I am actually typing this story on my tiny tabklet. That plus working and trying to get another computer forced this pause. I kept saying I will continue when I get my computer (which probably won't be until August) so I used that as !y excuse, and my writers block. I'd have an idea and then lose it or everything would just b blank. So I am incredibly sorry andi hope everyone forgives me.

2) so I finally had the time to start this chapter and I started. But my tablet is broke (it resets its self alot) so I get 3/4 through the chapter and you know what? It fricking resets its self. I almost gave up because I hate rewriting my stories, I never rewrite word for word. But I was determined to start this chapter. But then I had to go do errands and I came back to my story 1/4 done and the clock striking 10, I was tempted to finish tomorrow(well its 12 so I guess I did) but I pushed on and finished. So there, I am sorry for any major mistakes, blame it on the tablet. Also I hope I didn't bore you all with too much personal info. But to the thing that everyone came for. I hope everyone enjoys!

Alicia stood by the door with her bags by the door. She smiled at Grace as her phone rang, the taxi was down stairs. She gave Grace a big hug and a kiss. Grace wanted to take her down to the airport but it was late and the last thing the family needed was another accident on their hands. Besides, she didn't want Grace to cry when she left, which she doubted. Other than the fact that Grace had grown from the sweet little girl that cried over so much and was so emotional, Grace seem excited for her to leave. She even had her suitcase packed and ready before she even knew that she would be going anywhere. But Grace on shrugged when she asked responding with.

"With everything that has happened to you mom, you need a vacation. And I already knew that if you did leave, it would be for work, so packed for you. And I knew that you would hesitate causing yourself to back out and not go. Having a bag ready would just make it harder for you to say no." Grace was shocked at her own answer so much that she actually believed herself.

"When did you get so grown up?" Alicia smiled as she gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead.

But another reason that she didn't want Grace to go was in case that she would see Will. Which she would since it was a business trip with just the two of them. But Grace and Will did seem to get along well they were around each other. But Alicia was still not completely sure if it was OK. She didn't want to push her into something that she wasn't ready for.

Alicia sighed as she looked at her daughter, she didn't like leaving her for so long. They haven't been apart from each other this long since Grace was at summer camp.

"OK your dad will be here soon or maybe tomorrow so just be packed." Grace started to pout and looked offended. Alicia was so confused, what did she say to make her change her attitude so quickly.

"What's wrong, I'll only be gone for two weeks, three max."

"You don't trust me." Alicia oh in understandment. Grace didn't want to be left with her dad.

"Grace of course I trust you, I don't trust everyone else. I just want you to be safe."

"I'll be safe, I'm practically an adult now, its not like I'm going to have a party or anything like that. I'm not going to have sex like Zach, I'll be fine."

"Being 'practically' an adult, does not make you an adult. And I'm sure that you won't do those things honey, but anything can happen. The building can explode."

"I highly doubt that will happen."

"It could and I want you to be safe."

"So why can't uncle Owen or Grandma come over and check on me once a week?" Alicia had to laugh at the thought of Grace thinking she would ever allow that to happen. But the truth was that she really didn't have much of a choice. Owen and her mom were both out of the country looking for men. And the thought of Jackie in her house spying on her to find something to report to Peter made her sick.

"Sweetie Owen and grandma are gone. Its either grandma Jackie or dad."

"When will dad be here?" Alicia smiled at her goofy daughter.

"See if it was school time, I would have our downstairs neighbor to check up on you, but its summer so your going to have to stay with dad." Grace sighed at the idea. She could see it now, politics, politics, how's your mom politics ,politics. Does Will come by? She was going to be so bored.

"Can't I stay at a friend's house?"

"Grace its too last-minute, I can't put your friends out like that." Grace gave her sadest puppy dog eyes that she could muster up. And Alicia caved.

"Fine you can spend the second week with your friends, but you must spend the first week at your dad's. Now I really have to go." Alicia gave Grace one more kiss before she left and got in her taxi.

Alicia arrived to the airport an hour before boarding. She decided that this was the best time to call Peter. It didn't take long for him to answer.

"Hey Peter." Alicia said with the least amount of emotion possible.

"Alicia Hi." He sounded surprised to hear from her. But after what he did, she could see why.

"I'm so happy you called, we really need to talk." Peter straightened up in his office chair, he had been thinking of what to say since the night it happened.

"Alicia i.. "

"Peter I need a favor." Alicia cut him off before he could finish, this was not the reason that she had called him.

"Anything." She knew he would say that, but Alicia never knew if it was because he would do anything for her,or if he was just saying that to get her back, as a bribe.

"I need you to pick up Grace, either tonight or early tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter. But I'm leaving."

"For good?" He said genuinely scared. Alicia shook her head, bafuled that he could ever think that she would actually leave them like that, and Grace for that matter.

"No for two weeks, I have a business trip to go to." Alicia said holding back all of the anger she could.

Oh was all Peter could muster up.

"Yes, but she will only be there for the first week. She'll be staying with friends for the second week."

"Why won't she be staying with me the whole time? I can make time and work from home." Alicia shook her head, he didn't understand that if she wanted to be with him the whole time, she would be. And work wouldn't matter to her.

"Grace is almost a grown adult, if she would like to spend her summer with her friends rather than with her father talking about politics, Im sure that she can."

"Well what about Zach?"

"Zach is staying with friends until I get back. Besides Peter, he is an adult, he doesn't have to spend his summers with his father, or his mother." She could not phantom why he could not get it through his head. They don't want to stay with him 24/7, they need their freedom. If you love something let it go. But could never get that concept down pack. They were not his possession. Or maybe she was overreacting, he has the right to want to spend time with his children, she would never take that from him. But how could she explain that he hurt them so much that they don't really want to deal with him all the time.

"So he's not going to see me at all?" Alicia rubbed her temple, trying to find a way to explain to him what was really going on.

"Look Peter if you give them their space they'll come back, they always will, their your children."

"Will you?" Alicia could feel the sadness and desperation from here.

"Peter."

"I just want to show you that I can do better, I can be better."

"Peter I don't want to talk about this right now. Look, my plane is starting to board, I have to go. Don't push Grace to stay, show her you are still her father and she will stay on her on. And don't forget to pick her up, I don't like her driving at night or early morning." Alicia couldn't have the talk at that moment, it would take too much and her plane was actually about to board.

"Alicia, promise me that we will talk soon.*

" We'll see, I have to go."

"Alicia I love you."

"Goodnight Peter."

Peter sighed as he leaned back in his office chair with his hands over his head. He felt like his world was ending. If onlty he could find a way to show her how much he loved her and find a way to get his family back.

He looked at his clock, it was getting late, it would be tomorrow in a few hours and he still had to pick up Grace.

He was the last one in the office, which had became the norm since him and Alicia had their falling out. His office became his home. It would usually be Eli and himself, but his daughter was in town and they were having dinner. So it was just him.

Peter decided to sulk for a little longer, giving Grace some more time to pack and get ready. He was about to get up when his door opened.

"Governor Florrick, I have the files you had asked for. Oh I'm sorry, are you OK?" Peters secretary Andrea walked in. She had only been there a little while, but she was a really good secretary.

"No Andrea I'm fine, you can go home."

"Do you have a headache because I know a little trick to make them go away. I work with a lot of politicians and they get stressed so easily. Here let me help." Peter watched as she walked across his office and made her way to his head. He knew what would happen as soon as hepr soft hands had her way with his head. He knew it was wrong, but it felt so damn good.

Alicia stood awkwardly in the middle of the airport. Almost everyone was already on the plane and Will was no where to be found. She was getting worried that something bad happened or that he wanted her to go on alone. She didn't know the case or where she was going. The only reason she got the tickets was because when she went to the help desk, Will had already left the tickets there.

Alicia was just about to call him for the umptenth time when she felt a hand slide inbetween her arm. She turned around to be met with the warmest smile she had ever seen. She quickly returned the smile with one of her own and a hug. But before she could speak, Will wisked her off to the plane and all the way to first class. He didn't say a word until they were seated.

"Hey leesh, I'm so sorry to leave you out there like that. I had some inquiries to make. But I hope you didn't wait too long." And with Will giving her the forgive me eyes, Alicia couldn't do a thing but roll her eyes and smile.

"I'm just glad that you made it, I was worried that I would have to do this all alone." Will grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"I would never leave you, well not like this, and never alone."

"You better remember that." Alicia teased as she placed her head down on Will's shoulder.

"So first class huh?Alicia asked as she looked around the cabin and saw that there was only two other people there with them. Will smiled as he looked down at her.

"Yeah I thought that people would start to wonder why the Governor's wife was on an airplane with another man. So I thought that first class would have less people and more secrecy. The last thing any of us needs is an another scandal"

"Won't it look worse if you are found with me up here?" Alicia asked wit a devilish grin.

"Well then it doesnt matter and we'll just have to whether the scandal. But i dont really care if people saw us, as along as we are together." Alicia moved closer to Will, for some reason, he delrt so far away, and yet wo close. She wantednto climb into his lap, but she knew that that would be too much.

"But can the company afford all of this?"

"Well I'm paying for this, so I doubt if it will blow back on the company."

"Well haven't just thought of everything?"

"Just about." Alicia got more comfortable on Will's shoulder. Will kissed the top of her head and in minutes, she was sleep.

Will tried to go to sleep, but it became effortless as the flight attendant continued to ask if she needed a pillow or if he wanted to lay her on one of the empty seats, which Will declined everytime.

Finally Will was able to go to sleep, two hours before they landed. And when they did land, Will was unwakable. The flight attendant tried to wake him up but failed. She left that duty to Alicia.

Alicia smiled as she saw Willl laying there so peaceful and uncomfortable, just to keep her comfortable. After she was done with the gazing, Alicia tried shaking him awake, and when that failed, she had to turn to more vulgar means.

"Is that Beyonce?" Alicia screamed in his ear, and that didnt work, she took out her big guns.

"Will is that your mother?" And with a flash he was up. He looked like a junkie that just scored crack.

"Leesh!" He whinned when he realized what was going on. Alicia couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't believe that still works."

"That's not funny, I was really worried."

"Well how else was I supposed to wake you up?" Will stood up and started to climb over Alicia and stopped inches from her face.

"You could easily just give me a kiss." And he smoothly placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"Or maybe something with a little more passion, I promise I'll get up. At least some part of me will." He continued to get out of the seat, just before she could playfully hit him.

Once they got out of the airport, Will got the rental car from the airport. A Benz. The two of them drove with ease in the early morning to their hotel. Will was still drosey, but he was the only one who knew where the hotel was.

As Will figured out the housing accommodations, Alicia looked around the hotel, taking in the beautiful sight. The last time she was here was because of Will, and now here she was again, with the same man.

"Hey leesh I'm so sorry. I asked for two singles, but what they put me down for was a king size suite. I hope that's ok.?" Alicia smiled at how much dejavu was surrounding her.

"It's fine, as long its not the president's suite." Alicia teased.

" No, I don't think that my pockets can survive it." They laughed as they rode the elevator up, this time with much less sexual tension. They arrived to their room without kissing, which had to be some kind of record.

Once they got in, they got comfortable, and after an hour they were both passed out on the bed. Pajamas on and snuggled up to each other, happy as hell that their meeting didn't start until noon.

Hey so what do you guys think that Will has planned for Alicia. I promise I will try to update sooner. Please review.
