Part 4
Maria didn't know it was going to be this busy today. She thanked god she was the manager and would be able to leave. April, a coworker of Maria's, walked up to Maria.
"Okay Maria, you have to pick out the special for tonight, umm Mr. Sanchez called and said that he wanted to move his party for tomorrow and not tonight, oh and your husband is outside waiting for you." April told her.
"Okay, the special is going to the Italian pasta with garlic bread and a choice of soup or salad. Tell Mr. Sanchez that he can move his party for tomorrow but next time he won't be able to do that. And what does my husband want?" Maria told and asked April.
"I don't know. He said he needed to talk to you about something important." April said as she walked to the kitchen to tell the chef what the special is for today. Maria sighed and walked in the front, where Michael was leaning against his car waiting for her.
'Damn he looked so hot.' Maria thought to herself as she walked up to Michael. "Well? What did you want to talk about?" Maria asked him. Michael didn't answer her right away.
"I wanted to talk about me and you." Michael told her. Maria sighed and placed her hands on hips.
"Michael, can't we talk about this when we get hoo.... Can't we just talk about this later. I mean, shouldn't you be working?" Maria told him.
"Look this can't wait okay? I just don't understand why were are taking a break." Michael told her.
"Michael, all we do is fight. We fight so much that we wake up our baby at night. That isn't healthy for our baby and it's not healthy for us." Maria told him.
"We don't fight all the time." Michael said.
"Yes we do." Maria replied.
" NO we don't." Michael shock back.
"Yes, we do. We're doing it right now." Maria yelled. Michael sighed, they did fight a lot lately. But it never use to be like this.
"Why do we always fight, Maria?" Michael asked her. Maria just stared at Michael for a while before answering him.
"Think about it, Michael. What do we always end up fighting about?" Maria asked him. Michael sighed and then thought about it.
"I don't know. Me coming home late and not calling." Michael said.
"Ding ding, we have a winner." Maria snapped. Michael glared at Maria.
"What are you saying Maria? You don't trust me? You think I'm cheating on you or something?" Michael asked her.
"Hey, you said it not me." Maria told him. Michael couldn't believe his ears. Michael could never sleep with anyone other than Maria. Michael couldn't never love anyone other than Maria.
" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! You think I would do that to you, to us, to our son?" Michael asked letting his anger out. Maria didn't answer him, she just stood there. "Fine believe what you want Maria. Just know it isn't true." Michael told her while getting into his car. "I'm going to pick up Brendan. I'll drop him off at home." Michael told Maria.
"Fine! But I want him home by 6:00, Michael. No later." Michael just nodded his head as he gunned the engine of his car. "Michael, I'm serious." Maria yelled.
"I f*cking heard you!" Michael yelled. Maria took a step back. The way Michael said that, he never said anything to her like that. Sure he's said things to other people like that. But never to her. Michael looked over at Maria and his eye's soften as he saw the look on Maria's face. He turned off his car and walked to Maria.
"Maria, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that. I was just so....." Maria cut off Michael.
"Angry? That's just it Michael, your always so angry." Maria told him. Michael looked down at what Maria was wearing and cursed. Michael pulled Maria towards him. He thought she would pull away, but she didn't.
"Maria, I'm so so sorry." Michael leaned in and kiss Maria on the lips. The kiss turned into a passionate kiss, until Maria pulled away from it.
"No. Michael you can't just say sorry and kiss me. And then think everything will be okay. That doesn't change the way I feel." Maria told him softly. Michael sighed and put his forehead on hers.
"Please, Maria. I need my family. I can't loose my family." Michael whispered. Maria closed her eye's and nodded her head.
"When you bring Brendan home we'll talk." Maria told him. With that Maria left but not before turning around and saying,"Remember Michael 6:00." Michael nodded his head and hopped into his car and drove away.

Michael knocked on door of Tess' and Kyle's house. Tess answered the door with a smiled on her face. She was surprised to see Michael here, never usually picked up Brendan. Maria always did, unless there was no way she could.
"Hey Michael. What are you doing here?" Tess asked him as she led Michael into the house.
"I'm here to pick up Brendan." He told her. Tess gave him a weird look. "What?" Michael asked wondering why Tess was looking at him like that.
"Well, its just that you never pick up Brendan." Tess told him.
"I've picked him up before." Michael told her.
"Ya, when Maria couldn't get out of work. And that only happened twice." Tess told him with a giggle.
"You've only been baby-sitting for 4 months Tess." Michael told her. Tess just shrugged her shoulders and went to go get Brendan.
Michael saw the baby bag on the table and grabbed it. A couple minutes later Tess came from downstairs with a sleepy Brendan is her arms. Michael smiled at his son.
"Lookie Brendan! Who's that?" Tess said in a baby voice. Brendan turned his head towards his dad and reached for him. Tess laughed. "Yes, it's Daddy." Michael took Brendan out of Tess' arms.
"Hi there, big guy. Did I wake you from a nap?" Michael asked. Brendan didn't say anything, he just laid his head on Michael's shoulder.
"So why are you picking Brendan up?" Tess asked Michael.
"I'm just going to take him back to my place and spend some time with him." Michael told her. Tess just nodded her head. Michael started to walk out the door when Tess' voice stopped him.
"Michael." She paused for a little bit. "I hope everything works out for you and Maria."
"So do I." Michael said before leaving the house and putting Brendan in his car seat. Michael got into the car and drove off.

Maria looked at the clock it was now 8:30. She was pretty sure she told Michael to be home with Brendan at 6:00. Maria sighed, but when has Michael ever been home on time, lately? She turned on the T.V. and watch Dawson's Creek.
Okay, now Maria was starting to get pissed. It was 9:00 and Michael still wasn't home with Brendan yet. Maria then heard the door open and saw her soon-to-been died husband and her son come in.
Michael walked into the living-room, knowing Maria was waiting for him. He lost track of time, again. He knew him and Maria were going to get into it tonight, again. Michael sighed when he saw Maria standing there, looking more pissed than ever.
