Josie run out of the restaurant only to find Penelope kneeling beside hurt girl. As soon as she saw her, she started crying like baby. She was good… She was not hurt… She was alive… Lizzie and MG followed her and they also felt relief when they saw that Penelope was not hurt. She noticed Josie's stress, so she got up from the floor and came to her wife. She took her into her arms and tried to calm her.

''I am ok Jojo… I am ok…''

''When we heard a girl got hit.''

''I know…I know…''

''I was so scared.''

Penelope kissed her wife and tried to calm her.

''We are ok… Baby and I are ok.''

''I love you Penny… I am sorry for what Lizzie said… I should have told you myself…''

''Josie… It's ok… We will talk at home… It will be ok.''

''I just really love you Penny and I want you and our son to be safe.''

'' love you too Jojo.''

Ambulance came and took the girl to the hospital. It didn't look promising, but somehow they all tried to have faith that she will live. After they calmed down, they all went to their cars and home. It was crazy night and they needed some time to decompress. As soon as they got home, Penelope went to the bathroom to take off her dress. Bottom part of the dress was covered in blood and that was a very disturbing sight for Josie. Penelope knew how Josie's mind was working and that seeing her dress bloody at that part got her mind into losing the baby or something happening to Penelope. Penelope was having her shower and washing the night away when she felt Josie join her. She didn't say anything. She knew this was about Josie and fear she had to face tonight hearing that a young woman was hurt just in front of them. She put her arms around Penelope and lowered her head on her shoulder.

''I hate when we fight.''

''I know…''

''And I am sorry.''

''I know that too…''

''Penny, can you please keep it close to our home? I am scared of something happening to you and the baby.''

''Jojo, we are ok…''

''I know…but.''

''Jojo, no buts… We have to make it work somehow that you let go of some of your fears and I can try to make my trips every few days…. Not almost all the time… I know you worry, but now I feel like strangling you… You make my mind go into very dark places.''

''How dark?''

''Sometimes I wish I was not pregnant…so you would leave me alone.''

Josie was shocked by this statement.

''What? You wish what?''

''You make me hate the fact that I am pregnant when you act like that. When you tell me I can't do some things or wish for some things. I get it that this is huge thing for us… But aside from being pregnant, I have huge things happening to me that could define my career.''

''But our son…''

''Our son is ok… I am ok… and I want to be active for as long as I can. I want to live Josie… Stop suffocating me out of panic.''

Josie felt burned by Penelope's words. She was hurt by what her wife just said. She left the shower and got dressed. Penelope followed her out and saw her taking her pillow and blanket from the bed.

''Where are you going?''

''I am giving you space… You know, not to suffocate you with my concern.''

Penelope took a seat on the bed and exiled.

''Josie…''

''No, just don't.''

With that she left the room and Penelope changed into her nightgown. Both women were sad and couldn't fall asleep easily without the other one, but stood their ground when it came to not being the first one to apologize. Penelope moved her pillow to the center of the bed and somehow managed to fall asleep. Josie on the other hand had problems to sleep. It was not that their couch was uncomfortable, but she missed her wife and cuddling up to her.

At seven, Penelope was awake, showered and ready to leave the house. She started the coffee for Josie and left. She was not looking forward to spending four days away from home and living in some trashy motel, but she took on this case and she had to stick it out and work as her other coworkers did. She had so much to do today and had no time to waste. Her coworkers picked her up in front of their place and they started the ride to the town they were appointed to. She liked spending time with them. They were fun bunch and she really enjoyed them and working with them. Their assignment for that week was helping on the plea case. They were supposed to go through some court documents and transcripts from the trails and to try to find something that would help their boss find grounds to appeal and get his client out or reduce his time in prison. During their ride they made few stops to eat, get gas and for Penelope to run to the restroom. They loved to tease her for being pregnant and having little alien living close to her bladder. She didn't find those jokes that funny, but she put up with them. She would not be party pooper. Three hours later, they were sitting in a public library reading transcripts from the trails. They worked very hard to find some things that stood out to them and around closing time they were ready to go with their notes and copies they made during the day. Penelope couldn't wait to get to her room and shower. She had few missed calls and messages from Hope. She called Hope and knew it was actually Josie being worried about her.

''Hey P… Where are you?''

''I just finished work and I am now on the way to my room.''

''Room?''

''Yes, I will be here for a few days. ''

''Oh, I had no idea.''

''Well… I had no idea that YOU had to know that Hope.''

''And did you eat?''

''Yes, JOSIE, I ate and I was not entire day in my heels.''

''It's not Josei…''

''I know she is in the room…There is no other reason for me to be on the speakerphone… You hate speakerphone Michaelson… So, shall we start again?''

Suddenly she was not on speaker anymore.

''You didn't call or say anything in the morning…''

''You were asleep Josie… and you knew I am leaving today for a few days…''

''Still… you could have woken me up.''

''You could have come back to bed.''

''Penelope.''

''I take care of myself… I ate, I walked a bit I didn't sit all day.''

''Ok… If you say so.''

There was awkward silence.

''Where are you now?''

Penelope told her the name of the town and where she is staying and they ended the conversation. John finally drove them to the motel and Penelope got into her room. She changed and got into the bed. She needed to rest a bit. She sort of lied to Josei about taking some time to walk and eating. She did eat, but much later and some things that were pretty much junk food. She was almost asleep when she was woken up by the knock. She got out of her bed and opened the door to find Josie standing there.

''Josie…''

''Hey…''

''What are you doing here?''

''Can I come in?''

Penelope moved from the door and let Josie in. She was surprised to see here there.

''I came to say that I am very sorry.''

''So am I.''

''I don't want you to stop enjoying life and started hating our baby or me because of my fears.''

''Jojo, I could never…''

''You were starting to hate me Penelope. I could feel it.''

They didn't get to talk much. John was at her door.

''Hey Park, we found something.''

''I'll be there in a minute.''

He smiled at her.

''Cute PJ's…''

She looked down and realized she was in her Avengers PJ's and rolled here eyes.

''Don't geek out on me John.''

''Don't worry Park… Just get your fat ass to my room.''

''HEY, I AM PREGNANT, NOT FAT!''

''I don't care…''

''I hate him sometimes.''

''I can see why.''

She looked herself in the mirror.

''You are not fat.''

''I was not looking at that.''

''Yes you were.''

''Fine, I was.''''

''Baby, you are gorgeous…''

''Thank you Jojo.''

They kissed and Josie held her tight.

''I hate when we fight.''

''So do I.''

Penelope was about to leave.

''Are you staying?''

''DO you want me to?''

''Sure…''

''Then I am. But I have to get home tomorrow at some time. I have some stuff for school.''

''Ok… See you.''

Penelope left the room and went to John's. They had long night ahead of them.
