It was Halloween. Desiree and Eli had been back together for three months. Eli still hadn't put his hands on Desiree but she was still afraid. The last two days Desiree and Eli had taken trick-or-treating. Tonight Desiree and Eli were going to a Halloween party. They were going as dead Romeo and Juliet. Before they started getting ready they were both putting Hallie to bed.

"Mommy and daddy will see you in the morning." Eli said. He kissed her forehead.

"Love you daddy." Hallie said.

"Mommy's turn." Desiree said bending down and kissing her cheek.

"Love you mommy."

"I love you too."

Desiree and Eli were getting ready for the party. Desiree was in the bathroom and Eli was in the bedroom.

"Desiree can I broke some of your eyeliner?" Eli asked.

"Yeah."

Desiree's purse was on the dresser. Eli accidentally knocked it off and everything spilled on the floor. As Eli was picking it up he noticed the birth control pills. It made him angry, he still very much wanted a son. He put everything back in the purse and didn't say anything to Desiree.

At the party Eli drank heavily. They'd just gotten home. He was being that eerie quiet Desiree was all to familiar with.

"You're taking birth control pills." Eli said irritated.

"I don't want anymore children." She said.

"Well I do."

"That's to bad." He went up to her like he was going to hit her but he didn't. "That's it." "I'm refiling for divorce." "You'll never change."

"Don't worry I'm not gonna hit you." "If I do I won't get any money in the divorce "

"How do you know that?" "That was a private letter from my lawyer."

"I'm not gonna hit you." "I'm gonna drive you out of your mind." "A divorce won't keep me from being Hallie's father."

Ten minutes later Eli was passed out in a guestrooms. Desiree was in her bedroom. She got her phone and called John.

"Hello?" He said tiredly.

"Sorry did I wake you up?" She asked.

"What's wrong Desiree?" He said instantly alert. "Did he hit you?"

"Almost but no." "I think he's been going through my things, or spying on me somehow." "He knows about private things I've discussed with my lawyer."

"Are you still at the house?"

"Yeah."

"Get out of there."

"It's ok he's passed out." "I'm refiling for the divorce." "I can't take this anymore."
