It had been six months since Skye and John had lost the baby. They were both doing better individually but sex had been lacking in their marriage. Ever since she lost the baby Skye just hadn't wanted to. John was in Charleston, Virginia. He was starting shooting on a movie tomorrow for a month. John had been stressed out lately. Even though Skye was back to functioning normally, John was still worried about her. He needed a friend. He decided to call Randy.

"Hello?" Randy said.

"Hey man." John said.

"What's up?"

"I'm worried about Skye."

"Is she ok?"

"I hope so." "I haven't told you this but six months ago Skye was pregnant." "There was an accident and she lost the baby." "She would've been about as far along as Kim is."

"I'm sorry." "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Skye didn't want anyone to know but I know I can trust you."

"She's not taking it well?"

"Well better then when it first happened." "I don't know if she loves me anymore."

"It's that bad?"

"She doesn't even like me to touch her anymore." "She'll let me but it feels like she doesn't want me to." "We haven't had sex in eight months."

"I thought she lost the baby six months ago."

"She did." "The last time we had sex was the night we came back from the party bus." "The next morning I left to start filming a movie." "Two months later Skye had her accident." "I miss the sex, not just that part." "You know what I mean."

"I do."

"I don't know what to do." "I don't want my marriage to be over." "I love Skye."

"I know."

The next morning Skye was sitting in the kitchen having her coffee when her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Kim said.

"Hi." "How are you feeling?"

"The eighth month of my pregnancy is seeming to dragging."

"That's because you're nearing the home stretch." "I can't wait to meet my goddaughter."

"I called because it's two weeks until my baby shower and you haven't confirmed you're coming yet."

"I'm sorry I've been meaning to do that." "Of course I'm coming."

"It wouldn't be the same without my best friend."

"I wouldn't miss it."

Meanwhile John was meeting his co-star on set. She was around Skye's age. She was tan and tall with long dark brown curly hair and dark brown eyes.

"Hi." John said. "Your name's Riley right?"

"Yes." She said smiling. "You don't remember me do you?"

"Should I?"

"No." "I was only twelve." "We met at an autograph signing of yours." "I've always been a big fan." "If you ask me, you got even more gorgeous with age." She said smiling.

"Thank you."
