After a car ride full of avoided questions the 3 finally made it to Rusty's. They

were quickly seated and began to look at their menus and chit-chat. "So

Daisy what do you think now that you've been back to Horizon?" Peter

asked desperate to get a conversation started. He knew something was wrong

with Daisy but she wasnt his student anymore and he was afraid of

overstepping a line between friend and teacher. " Well its a little different

now. Theres new councilors and students i've never seen, but its still the

same. It looks like I just went home for a visit and Juliet is gonna come

running out from somewhere any minute." Daisy said showing true

happiness for the first time since she returned. Before long there food was

done and they had begun eating. After a few bites Daisy could feel her

nausea rising up in her stomach "oh the joys of pregnancy" she thought to

herself. She quickly exscused herself and walked into the bathroom. Once

she was in there she began to throw up until she couldnt throw up any more.



~Meanwhile: At the table

"Peter I really think we should try an adoption again" Sophie said almost

pleadingly. " Sophie its been over a year and we've come up with nothing."

"thats not true Peter. We were so close with Sarah....It could happen again."

"Sure it could Soph but I cant deal with getting my hopes up again only to

have them crushed at the last mintue. I just cant. Now can we please just

have ONE meal without discussing this because its all we do and i really cant

take it any more." Peter said close to breaking down. "Shhh Daisy's coming

back. We dont need to ruin her stay with our problems" Sophie said before

taking a sip of her soda. " You ok Daisy?" Peter asked concerned at the

amount of time it had taken her to come out of the ladies room. " yeah I'm

ok I just wasnt feeling so good." Daisy replied weakly " Tell you what Daisy

we're almost done and your not feeling so good why dont we head back now

we can bring you back to our house and you can get some rest." "Yeah ok

but i really dont want to inconvenience you I was just gonna get a hotel

room." "No Daisy your like one of our kids we wouldnt want you anywhere

else, but with us." Peter said lovingly. " So its decided then Daisy you'll be

staying with" Sophie said affirmingly "yep I guess I am" Daisy said once again

putting on a phonie smile, but what she didnt know was Peter and Sophie

could see right through it and they were begining to get suspicious.
