"No. It's alright Hudson. I think with things going on and our um.. we are just so busy and it would be to much with everything else we are adding to the family." Margo made clear. Hudson nodded but raised a brow and asked "What else are we supposedly adding?" Margo's eyes widened as she corrected "oh just with work? We barely hang out anymore as it is. I don't want things to become about work and only work... that's all." She smiled and rubbed his leg. Hudson wasn't sure if that's all it was but it was her choice if she really wanted to let the farm go...

Hudson never felt so relaxed. So comfortable with his face dig into the pillow. His phone rang. He yawned and grabbed it. He was so tired. "Hello?.." he answered groggy.

Where are you?

It was Sky. The shop! Hudson jumped up and looked at the time on his phone before speaking.

"Oh god!.. I'm up!"

Are you? Some guy is here to look at the shop? I've been calling you?

"Yep! On my way! Just... keep him there." He hung up and set his phone down and grabbed his clothes. He slid on his shirt. Grabbing his jeans. His phone rang again. He grabbed it instinctively and answered.

"Yeah I'm on my way."

Oh? To?..

"Mr Ross! Sorry I meant.. I?.."

No thats great! With dinner last night and talking about positions and the school, I forgot entirely about those applications from you. Can we meet for breakfast? I'd love to get ahold of those folders.

Hudson hit his forehead gently. He didn't finish them.

"Yeah. Just um.."

You did finish them right?

"Ofcorse. I'll meet you shortly. Just give me time to shower and open up the shop. Flos?" He slipped trying to shuffle into his jeans with a thud.

Yes! Great see you in?.. two hours?

"... yes?..."

Great! I knew you were the right man for the job!

He hung up. Hudson slipped into his jeans and fastened the belt. Putting on shoes and grabbing his keys. He rushed out the door and realized he hadn't brushed his teeth or deodorant or anything. He growled a bit st himself and ran back up. He shoved the bathroom door open and it bounced off the wall. Hitting him in the face and Hudson fell to the floor. "Really!" He yelled.

His nose was bleeding. "Great.." he grabbed his face and grabbed some tissue and held it there while he brushed his teeth and such. He looked at his nose and figured the bleeding stopped. He threw the tissue away with blood on top of some other trash in the Can beside the toilet. Razors tooth brush. Tissue and some white and purple stick in foil paper? He about left the bathroom and stopped. Staring back into the trash can. That was a pregnancy test?.. He moved the trash a bit and grabbed it out. A pregnancy test.. he stared at it. Not sure if he wanted to pull it out of its foil wrapper and see what it said.

He was kinda scared of it. "Oh my gosh..." he dropped it back into the trash can. Staring at it. He didn't want to re open it and read he results. Not right now. He had to much to do. His phone rang and it startled him. He grabbed it quickly. Fumbling in his hands and dropped it.

Plomp

Right into the toilet. Hudson sighed. Staring at the screen. Sky again. He shook his head. This day was a disaster already...

Hudson screeched to a stop. Running inside the shop where Sky and this man were. "SO SORRY! I had a busy morning." Hudson looked all mismatched and a mess. Tired. Sky noticed enough and asked quietly to her boss "You Alright?.." Hudson fixed his hair back and nodded and cleared his throat. "Hi, I'm Hudson McQueen." The man stared a moment. He had to be the same age of Hudson's parents. "Wait I'm so sorry?.. you look familiar?" Hudson said. And the older man did. The man smiled and shook Hudson's hand explaining "I've been around town a while. I bought the old cone motel next door. Plan to buy this place to."

Hudson nodded and replied "Oh. Well.. great. Need some kinda hobbies or extra space for storage it would make an excellent building." The man looked around and explained "Oh no. I don't need storage. I plan to tear them both down and build one large and beautiful modern hotel" Sky and Hudson's eyes widened. "You wanna?.. tear down the cozy cone motel?" Hudson asked, Sky followed "That place is like a?.. a symbol of the entire town? A landmark?" The man shrugged and explained "Its old. Needs remodeled. And come on? Caution cones? What could be more tacky?" Hudson's brows lowered.

This guy may not know the history or who he was exactly talking to. So Hudson played nice. "And exactly what you gonna call this idea of yours?" The man smiled answering "Fayette. My last name." Hudson nodded and sighed. Part of him wanted to scold this man and not sell the shop. "Asking price is a little high don't you think?" He man asked. Hudson frowned answering "My dad... um.. Lightning McQueen started this place. That's partially why it's higher." The man nodded and replied "That's the old racer who crashed in his last race right? And quit?"

Hudson bit his lips answering "Sure..". The man looked around a bit. Hudson glanced at the time. "Come on.." he muttered. He had to get back home and finish those papers. "I actually have somewhere to be?.. so.. Sky can tell you anything. But the price is firm. I'm sorry but I have other work." The man nodded and spoke up "No worries. I should go. Gotta get the construction going on tearing down that tacky motel. Thanks for letting me see the property." He left waving and heading to the cone. Hudson sat down a moment and sighed.

He grew up a little in the hotel. His mother did sell it. Some guy ran it for a while and now his man was gonna tear it down. Hudson wished he could stop it. Sky spoke up rubbing Hudson's shoulder gently "Sorry about the hotel." Hudson sighed and replied "I can't let that happen to the place.. I gotta stop him from tearing it down?..". Sky thought for a moment and answered "What can you do? Not like the man would sell it back?"

Hudson stood up "Great! Yes exactly!" He kissed Sky's forehead and ran out the door. Sky sighed "Crap. Hudson Wait!" She ran after him. Hudson ran up to the man "Hey! What if I bought this place from you. Save you all the trouble of tearing it down?" The man chuckled and asked "Are you serious?" Hudson nodded answering "Yes. I just don't wanna see the place destroyed." The man raised a brow. The sign on the front door fell. Sky stared at that. The man chuckled "I told you it needs remodeled son? The previous owner let a bunch of cheaps stay here and didn't take care of it?" Hudson stared at the place. "Tell you what. I'll think about your offer. You think about mine. Alright?"The mansaid. He slapped Hudson's shoulder gently and walked away. Hudson stared down. Upset a bit.

"I gotta get papers sorted. Run the shop today Sky. You're in charge." And with that he ran home.

Hudson ran inside and grabbed the papers and folders. And began to sort through them frantically to finish them for Ross. Hudson stared at the pile but kept getting distracted. Thinking about the test he saw. He grabbed a folder and started to read it aloud to himself. "Lizbeth Arnold.." he stopped. Thinking about that test again. He sighed. "I should see what it is." He stood up and stood there. "Nope.. Nope. Margo would have said something if she was." He sat back down. Trying to work on these applications.

Hudson began to read over Lizbeths papers. He slapped the folder down and thought about that test again. Hudson stood up and walked to the stairs but stopped. "Nope.. Nope.." he walked back over to the table and folders. He shook his head. Hudson knew he wasn't going to get things done with that test sitting there. Hudson thought about it. If Margo was or wasn't pregnant. If he could possibly be a father. He felt sick to his stomach over thinking the possibilities.

Hudson sat down and kinda just guessed. Placing a few students in the pile to turn down. And pushing most of them into the acceptance pile and placing them into a box he had out and put them into the box. The front door opened. Hudson glanced over. It was Margo. Wearing a cute yellow shirt. She got her bangs cut over her brows. He smiled seeing her. Tight jeans and a velvet sweater on over the yellow shirt. Her hair in a low messy bun. "Hey babe." Babe.. made him stare at her belly

Hudson greeted. Margo smiled and walked over.

"Hey. You get your stuff done? Because I'm off and done for the day! And I would love to have breakfast with my husband." She wrapped her arms around Hudson's neck. Hudson smiled and sighed. Turning into a frown. Margo noticed enough asking "Hey what's wrong? Wouldn't you like to have breakfast?" Hudson nodded and explained "I have to meet with Ross with the folders and talk it over breakfast. I'm sorry." Margo nodded and replied "It's alright. Well when your done with that come back home okay? I'd love to talk?" Hudson bit his lip and nodded. She was pregnant. Maybe? Maybe not?

"Yeah totoally. I'll be home?... around 2? I'm gonnahead back to the shop after meeting Ross. Had someone.. look at it. But.. I gotta go. So sorry." He kissed her and turned around and grabbed the box. "Love you." He said leaving. Margo called back "Love you to." And he left quick. Margo sighed. And sat down at the table. Thinking because Hudson was running around crazy lately...

Jackson woke up and walked down stairs. Cruz was pouring herself coffee. Jackson stared at her a moment. "Sense when do you drink much coffee?" He asked kinda joking. Cruz raised a brow and and asked "Want some?" Jackson sighed and nodded. Cruz poured him some and handed it to him. Jackson took it and stared at it. He set it down and took Cruz's free hand. "Cruz." He said. "I love you.. But.. how much longer are you gonna avoid?.. getting intimate with me?" Cruz shook her head. She obviously didn't want to talk about it.

Jackson grabbed her coffee and set it down and asked "Cruz talk to me? Is it me? Is it me?.. are you just not attracted to me anymore? I mean please? Your killing me with nothing?!" Cruz rolled her eyes and snapped "Stop!? I don't wanna talk about it okay?! So just stop!" "Well come on Cruz? Is it a crime for me to want to sleep with my wife!?" He yelled back. It got quiet. Jackson closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have yelled at you.." he said softer now.

"Talk to me?... please?" Jackson begged her.

Cruz nodded and bit her lips as she leaned on the counter. "You want the truth?.." her eyes teared up. Jackson became worried. Kind scared. Why was she so upset. Cruz began to cry a bit as she softly mumbled something. Jackson asked "What?" "I had an affair!.." it got quiet. "Oh god.." she added. She began to cry pretty hard. Jackson stepped back and asked "You? You slept with Lightning?!" He yelled. A bit angry. Hurt.

"No! No!? I never slept with him.." she answered quickly. Jackson took a deep breath and felt such heart ache. "When? When did this happen?" He said with a choke in his voice. Feeling like something was stuck in his throat.

"A while back.. I never meant to?.. I never meant to Jackson!?.. please..". Jackson shook his head and yelled "Why!? When exactly Cruz!?" "I didn't tell you because you were going to stop drinking and I didn't want to ruin that because of the cancer!? I don't know a while. Things got bad and I just!?.. I don't know!?" She cried out.

Jackson turned around. He really didn't know how to act. What he was feeling was? Aweful!? He wanted to cry but.. he held it back. "When." He saod very deep voiced. Cruz sniffled answering "Just.. um..I don't know? While you were busy with Lightning and Hudson for that race thing a few months ago...I didn't?... I don't know why I did it exactly.. I'm sorry..". Jackson asked "So is this why things have gotten so bad? You fake it then you sleep with someone and what? He's just better?..". Cruz frowned and explained "Not like that no?.. I don't know why Okay?.. and.. I just feel so guilty for it and.. I couldn't?.." She didn't know what to say.

Jackson shook his head and faced his wife. "So this is about your guilt Cruz!?" He was so angry and hurt..

Jackson just recieved hurtful news and a painful explanation of why Cruz won't be to intimate with him. She's feeling guilty. Causing her to crumble. What's he do!!? Choices!!!!

Leave (He's hurt and angry and can't be around Cruz right now. He can't drink. It makes him sick. So Jackson will have to find comfort in something else)

Or...

Stay. But go up stairs. (But he will

Shut Cruz out. Push her away a bit. He's not sure how to handle this and right now ignoring her is how he feels)
