Sally woke up early. Ealier than usual for whatever reason. She looked over at Lightning and saw he was still passed out asleep. She sighed and sat there a moment. Not sure if she should lay back down dor get up anyway. It was the weekend. She bad to work some today, but not all day. Lightning was going to watch the kids while she was out. She glanced over at her husband to be again and then saw his phone on the night stand.

She thought of the thing Nick said. Once a cheater, always a cheater. She really shouldn't do that she was tempted to do. Looking through his phone. She was better than that. Besides, she forgave him. That should be the end of it. But.. Maybe a peek.. Sally leaned over Lightning which made him move and change position. Luckily he didn't wake up. Sally unlocked the phone ans began searching. For anything that would reveal that Lightning might be cheating again. She checked his messages first. Nothing odd there. Unless he deleted them. Then photos. Nothing there. Barely any photos actually. That's right, he had gotten a new phone.

Then she checked the phone calls. That was did give her something. Cruz.Why the fuck was Lightning talking to Cruz again? Sally took a quiet breather.. Cruz probably called bugging him again. She was doing that a lot lately. Sally then clicked it for history details. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Lightning dialed Cruz's number! Not even by accident! Because the call lasted about three minutes! Sally looked over at Lightning. Part of her wanted to slap him awake and find out what they talked about! Then Sally did something she would probably regret later. She turned on the sharing location service on his phone and linked to her phone. She would always know where he was now by satellite location. Sally was about to set the phone down, but stopped. She wanted to know what he and Cruz talked about...

Cruz heard her phone buzz. She was groggy and yawned. Miguel was next to her, still asleep. On the other side was her phone all lit up. She took it and glanced it.

Lightning,

Hey

Cruz was really confused. Lightning? Was texting her this early?

Cruz,

Are you okay?

Lightning,

Yes. Do you remember what we talked about earlier?

Cruz stared at this message. It wasn't like Lightning, but she was tired and went ahead and replied.

Cruz,

yes. I am still thinking about your offer. I may talk to you more about it Monday because you probably know more than me with your fancy lawyer. but did you actually sign away your right as Miguel's father? My lawyer can't find the forms?

Sally stared at that. Did he? She remembered that he planned to. That he got the papers. Didn't he? Maybe? She was going to have to look into that!

Lightning,

Yes. I did. goodbye!

Cruz stared at that. That was weird. Sally sat there a moment. Feeling a little uneasy sense she knew Lightning was speaking to Cruz. But she needed to move on from this. That call must of been business. Cruz mentioned a fancy lawyer. Dianna Swwann no doubt. Sally deleted her texts and placed the phone back down before laying back down for a little while longer...

Lightning sipped his coffee while he watched the kids eating their breakfast of cereal. The twins were making a bit of a mess rather than eating really though. Sally walked by all dressed up real sexy in her pants suit for work. She stopped next to Lightning asking "You sure your good for the day? Don't need to be at work or anything?" Lightning shook his head smiling at her, "I'm good. I can handle these guys. Just like later I'll be handling you." He flirted with placing a hand around her hip. Sally glared playfully and pushed away. "Alright. Love you. I'll be back soon after lunch." she announced. Lightning kissed her cheek before letting her rush away out the door. Colton glanced back then asked "Can I have treat now?" Lightning snickered and shook his head. Colton pouted a little, but continued to eat.

Suddenly Sally popped back in with "Oh just one thing.." That grabbed his attention. "You did send off the papers you signed taking back your rights and giving up your request as Miguel's adoptive legal father? Right?" Lightning snickered answering "Yes. Why would you even ask that?" he asked. Sally sighed explaining "Just.. some lawyers can't find it.." Lightning's brows lowered. "You helped me fill it out." Lightning reminded. Sally nodded and explained "Right, but if I wasn't your attorney at that time, I didn't send it.." The two stared at each other a moment. "You were my attorney. You did send it.. Right?" Lightning asked.

You could hear the tense firmness of worry in his tone. Sally looked as if she wasn't sure about that so she asked."Were we just seperated or divorced when you signed it?" Lightning immediately was annoyed. "Seriously? Are you kidding me?" he asked. Sally only snapped "Just answer the question!" Lightning sighed and thought for a moment before answering "I don't know.. Um.. Seperated.. I think." Sally looked pale. "Okay.. That would mean I might have still been your attorney.. That's good news. I just need to find the copy in my boxes in the garage.." she muttered. Lightning glared at her a little. "Does this mean there is a chance I am legally responsible for Cruz's kid still!?" he shouted with slight anger!

Sally only defended herself "Hey! Don't get a tone with me! At that time, anything dealing with Cruz was at the bottom of my to do list while she was at the top of yours!" Lightning's brows lowered once again, but he didn't say a word back. Just a glarish harsh stare. Sally took a breath and apologized. "That was a cheap shot.. I'm sorry.. But.. I will check first thing after work, I swear.. I'm gonna call my old firm and look in the town's files okay?" Lightning nodded though he was a little miffed now. "Love you.." Sally said once again and kissed his lips once before rushing back out again...

Look was playing with the kids on the floor of the living room. Little toy cars, dolls and flashcards. But then the door bell rang. Lightning wasn't expecting anyone. "Hold on guys. Be right back." He got up with a bit of a grunt then headed to the door where whoever it was now, knocked continuously. "I'm coming!" Lightning called and opened the door. He was surprised. "Oh.. Cal. What are you doing here? Wait, did you drive?" he asked. He was concerned for his friend sene he wasn't exaxtly suppose to be driving yet.

Cal came inside answering "Yeah, but look I can't remember you and Sally getting seperated and yet I knew you lived here. At her house. And I think.. THINK, you two were seperated because you slept.. With Cruz.. Right?" He asked. Lightning nodded with a frown. Cal then continued "I am missing pieces Lightnin! Missing a lot of spots in my memory and it's driving me crazy! I am starting to remember Mera.. But it's so darn fuzzy!" Lightning sighed, shutting the door. "Well.. It'll.. Come back to you maybe.. Evantually." He replied. Cal shook his head. "The worst part is knowing that Megan doesn't want me to remember whatever it is I forgot." Cal was upset. Lightning did feel bad, but he didn't exactly want Cal to remember certain events either.

Cal continued venting "I don't understand why I was even in the accident.. Meg wouldn't let me talk to Sterling.. I don't know why I would even be around him!? I remember him. And Sterling and I are NOT friends. I wish I could remember why I was even there with him!?" "It was because of me.." Lightning admitted. Cal stared at his friend, listening to him explain. "You were helping me find.. Something.. It was stolen along with your car and I convinced you to chase after them. If I hadn't convinced you, you'd never been in that accident." Cal sighed, but smiled. "I was drivin Light. Thanks man. I knew I could count on you." Cal said warmly. Lightning only sighed.

Then Cal asked "What was the thing I was helping you find there?" "Do you remember the accident? Not your wreck.. The huge one in the cup race last season?" Lightning asked. Cal thought for a moment before shaking his head. l. Lightning frowned and then told Cal the story. Of all the racers that wrecked, quit, and died thst day. It was a horrible and sickening story. Cal turned away. Heart broken slightly from feeling pain in what those young racers went through. "And you are tellin me Jackson became blind and deaf? The Jackson Storm?" Cal asked in disbelief. Lightning nodded.

Cal took a deep breath. Lightning continued "You were helping me try to regain his sight.. You were doing a good thing." He assured. Cal smiled replying "Thanks man. I knew you wouldn't lie to me." Yeah... Not so sure about that.. Cal began thinking though and mentioned "That's great that you helped me already so much Light, but.. That doesn't seem like anything worth hiding. Megan definitely is hiding something. She doesn't want me to know something and that's killin me." Lightning just stared. "You gotta know something else.. Because I keep trying to think of the worse thing possible and all I'm drawin up are blanks! You gotta help me... Please.." Cal whimpered a bit. Lightning decided to come out with it as he saw the pain this was already putting on Cal anyway.

"I fucked your wife.." Lightning admitted. Cal immediately glared replying "That's not funny. This isn't the time for your crude jokes.. I'm serious. I need to know. All I can think of is death. Death is the worst thing I can think of." Cal stared at Lightning. Lightning swallowed hard and he stared back. Cal read McQueen's face, emotions, what he just said. Cal lowered his brows in asking. "You were serious?... You slept with... With Megan?.." His voice cracked there. Lightning sighed with a frown, but answered Cal with a nod. Cal took a step back and shook his head as he didn't, wouldn't accept this. "No.. No, you wouldn't. You're my best friend.. You wouldn't do that to me.. And Megan would NEVER do that to me. Never!" he shouted. Lightning glanced at the ground and chose his words carefully next. "You're right.. She wouldn't and I wouldn't usually.. But.. I.. I drank a lot that night and she.. She was drugged.."

Cal's eyes widened. "You roofied my wife!?" He asked loudly in more disbelief! Lightning immediately answering "No! No, never! You don't remember Cleo at all?" Cal shook his head so Lightning explained "Cleo.. Drugged Meg and sort of planned the entire thing out to drive a further wedge between me and you.. Think she drugged you to that night.. I can't remember exactly.. It wasn't Megan's fault.. We would never just.. Do something like that to you." "So all this is this Cleo's fault? She's to blame?" Cal asked kind of rudely. Lightning nodded. Cal only snarled asking "So Cleo made you fuck my wife? Tell me how she managed that one Lightnin!" he shouted into Lightning's face. Lightning didn't answer. Not at first.

The two stared at each other then Colton walked in asking "Can i have juice?" As he tugged on his dad. Cal stared down at the kid then looked at Lightning with a very disappointing and painful expression of just utter betrayal. "Megan wouldn't do that.." Cal mumbled. "I won't believe that happened.." He added before stomping off. Colton tugged on his father asking "Was that uncle Cal?" Lightning glanced down answering "Yep.." "Why is he mad?" "Daddy just.. Hurt Cal's feelings.." Lightning answered then picked up his oldest and smiled as he asked "Why don't we get that juice? hmm?" Colton nodded with a smile and pointing to the kitchen cheering "Juice!"...

Cal stepped in back into his own house where Megan immediately ran up worried! "Where were you!? I called over and over! You aren't suppose to be driving yet and you should be in bed! You know the doc"-She was then interrupted by Cal suddenly wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tight. Once he released her Megan asked "Are you okay?" Cal nodded. Staring into her eyes. Did he believe Lightning? That Megan actually slept with.. With Lightning!? Lightning was his best friend. Megan wouldn't do that. Lightning wouldn't do that! "I saw Lightnin.." Cal admitted. Megan's eyes widened. "Why?" she asked.

Cal's brows lowered as he answered her "You know why! He was my best friend and I knew he would be honest and tell me what I wanted to-No! Needed to know!" Megan became nervous and it showed. "Oh? Nervous now!? Why!? Do you have something to hide!?" he yelled. Megan stepped back until her back pushed against tbe wall. Her eyes were tearing up and going to rain down at any second! Cal stood up close to her face and in a husky whisper asked "Did you sleep with Lightnin?.." Megan stared into her husband's eyes. Pain. Pure pain. Reliving this yet again! "Cal I"-"Answer the question!" He yelled at her and hit the wall next to her face! BAM!

Megan began crying. Hard. That answered his question. Cal took a deep breath and stepped back. He was very angry. His best friend and his wife!? Really!? He had tears growing into his eyes now to then ordered her "Tell me what he did to you." Megan was just crying so he shouted this time, "Tell me he made you! You tell me that son if a bitch raped you and I will not hold this against you!" "Cal stop it!" Megan yelled! But he only shouted back with "No! Because I KNOW that there is no way MY wife would fuck my best friend! No way! So tell me that he made you! Was it blackmail!? Did he have something else on you?" "Lightning would never do that Cal! Lightning didn't make me! Stop telling me to say that he did because you know deep down that Lightning would never touch anyone like that!"

Cal turned away. Oh he was mad. "I gotta get out of here.." He replied and began to leave, but Megan grabbed his arm in begging "Don't go.. Please.." Cal stared explaining "I need space, I need air.." he more of growled. Megan grabbed her keys and said "Than let me go.. I'll take Mera and get a place for the night.. You shouldn't be driving. Might rip stitches open or worse.." She wiped her eyes and walked away to get their daughter and some bags. Cal sighed. He didn't know how to react. Obviously he already knew before, but he couldn't remember. Obviously he forgave Megan and Lightning before too. Sense they seemed to all be friends still. He just couldn't rememebr. Maybe this Cleo would have answers to this situation sense she supposedly planned it out on purpose...
