Wilson and Billy arrive at 8:00 that evening. The family is in the living room watching a movie, but Mary quickly leaves with them behind. The three of them go upstairs into Mary's room.

"Here Billy. You can color a picture for your dad." Mary says, handing him paper and crayons. Billy takes the supplies and sits quietly on the floor.

"So Mare, have you thought about counseling?"

"Yeah I have, and I decided that if I don't feel better by tomorrow, I'll go. But only if you come with me."

"I'll definitely go, no question about it. How are you feeling now?"

"Right now, kind of OK. Its weird, I don't really know how I feel. Spending the day with my family made me really tired, though."

"Well, hopefully you'll get more sleep than you did last night."

"Hopefully. I wouldn't have gotten any sleep if you didn't agree to spend the night. I'm glad I'm tired, though, because if I'm not and I try to go to sleep, I just end up staying awake thinking about things."

"Like what? What's bothering you now?"

"Well, first of all I feel bad that your spend so much time with me. You should spend your time with your son. And usually I'd spend time with him with you, but kids make me uneasy. Um, I'm still upset about what Robbie said and that I lost my baby. But basically, I'm upset about us. Well not really upset, just confused."

"Why are you still confused? You still want us to be together, don't you?"

"Yes, I do. I-I, OK, can we talk?"

"Yeah, but aren't we talking now?"

Mary laughs, realizing they are. "Yeah, but can we talk about us?"

"Uh, OK. What about are you confused about though?"

"Well, I really like you, love you. I really think I'm in love with you, and I'm not just saying that. But even I feel like I'm rushing things. If you felt this you'd understand. Its not you, you've never hurt me, but I don't want to get hurt. You have my heart, and that scares me. It really scares me because, I know you care about me, but I don't know how you really feel. Listen to me, I'm just babbling on and on." She takes a deep breath and starts over. "I love you, and that scares me. It makes me worry, worry about losing you, not now, but someday."

Wilson grabs Mary's hand, desperately trying to stop her mind from wandering. "Look, no one can predict what's going to happen down the road. Right now, everything is fine. Try not to over analyze everything. We're happy now, and that's what should matter. I love you."

"I love you too."

"And I agree with you, its scary to be in love, but you have to make my word for it that everything will be OK."

"I'll try."

Mary and Wilson sit and talk until 9 o' clock that evening. They both notice that Billy is starting to get tired, and try to decide what they are going to do for the rest of the night.

"He really should get some sleep."

"I know. He looks exhausted. He could sleep in Sam and David's room, if that's OK with you."

"Billy, would you want to sleep with Sam and David tonight?"

"Why can't I stay with you Dad?"

"Because Mary and I still want to talk, and you have to get some sleep."

"OK. Mary, are you still feeling sad?"

"A little bit Billy, but I'm feeling better than before." Mary smiles at the compassion Billy is showing towards her.

"Come on Billy, time for bed."

Wilson picks up Billy and the three of them leave to go into the twin's bedroom. Mary helps set up a sleeping bag for Billy on the floor, and helps Wilson tuck him in. As they leave, Wilson notices tears start to form in Mary's eyes.

"I know it's hard for you, but it will be OK. If it makes you feel any better, you would have made a great mom."

"Thanks. But I know the timing wasn't right. Even if I hadn't lost the baby, it wouldn't have been fair to it- no father, teenage mother and all. It just hurts that I had that taken away from me."

"I know. I couldn't imagine going through all that you have gone through in the past couple of weeks."

"Neither can I and its my life. Listen, now that Billy's asleep, would you come with me to talk to my parents?"

"About?"

"About wanting to go into counseling."

Wilson wraps Mary in his arms a kisses her cheek.

"What was that for?"

"I'm proud of you. You've really matured."

"Thanks, I guess."

Mary and Wilson walk downstairs and find Reverend Camden and Mrs. Camden in the living room with everyone else.

"Uh, Mom, Dad, can I-we talk to you?"

"Sure Mary."

They walk out into the hallway in attempts to get some privacy.

"What did you want to talk to us about?"

Mary clutches Wilson hand tightly as he wraps his arm around her.

"If you're pregnant…"

"Reverend I can assure you that wouldn't be possible."

"Good."

Annie hits her husband in the side of the arm. "So what is it then."

"I, uh" Mary starts to speak, "I decided I want to go into counseling."

Her happy parents embrace Mary. "That's great!"

"But only under two conditions."

"You name it."

"One, I am only promising to go for two sessions. After that if I'm not comfortable I'm not doing it anymore. And two, Wilson has to come with me. He already agreed to it."

"Done. I'll call first thing tomorrow and see what I can do for you."

"We're really happy you decided to do this." Her mother says. "We really think it will help you."

"But if it doesn't, can I back out of it, no questions asked?"

"Sure."

They all hug, and then Mary speaks again.

"I'm really tired."

"Well, I'm sorry but the couch you two used last night is taken for the moment."

Mary and Wilson both fumble with a quick explanation.

"I…uh…we"

"I saw you last night. I watched you for a couple of minutes, and it didn't look like you were doing anything. I trust you both to use your better judgment and not to do anything that I wouldn't approve of." Eric says.

"You two could just wait around until the living room is cleared out. I'd tell you somewhere else you could do but we're at maximum capacity already."

"Back porch?" Mary suggests. Wilson nods and they walk outside. Annie and Eric watch them both walk away.

"Isn't it nice to see Mary happy again? She's had such a rough year." Mrs. Camden says.

"I guess so. As long as she doesn't get her heart broken."

"You and I both know if anything happens, it will be the other way around."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that. She took it pretty hard when they broke up the first time."

"Ah, but who dumped who?"

"Whom."

Annie rolls her eyes, as Eric leans in and kisses her.

Mary and Wilson are now seated in the swing on the back porch. They are holding hands, but not really talking. Mary leans her head against Wilson's chest and he pulls her closer.

"You OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Wilson leans down and kisses the top of Mary's head. She sits up, and kisses his lips tenderly.  The kiss becomes more passionate, as her tongue roams his mouth. They break the kiss, in need of air. Mary puts her head back down on his chest and closes her eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

"You know that's only the second time we made out so far?"

Wilson laughs. "It figures you'd count"

"I'm serious."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"A good thing. It shows me that you respect me. After everything I've been through, I definitely deserve someone who'll respect me."

"You deserve someone who will respect you regardless."

Mary kisses him again, but lightly this time, teasing his lips. Wilson leans back in, but she turns away playfully.

"I can't. I'm too tired. I literally have no energy left."

"Lie back down then," he says pulling her close to him. "Sleep."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me. Just go to sleep."

Needing no further coaxing, she closes her eyes. Within minutes, she has fallen into a deep slumber. Wilson watches her as she sleeps, and lightly caresses her hair. Everything will be OK Mare, I'll make sure of it. 20 minutes later, Simon emerges from the house.

"Mom said to tell you that the couch is all yours."

"Thanks Simon." Wilson whispers.

"Is she asleep?"

"Yeah."

Simon glances at his watch. "Wow."

"She was exhausted."

"Oh, ok. Well, good night."

Simon walks back into the house. Wilson gently nudges Mary, until she wakes up. She moans softly, and then sits up.

"I'm sorry. How long have I been asleep?"

"Only for 20 minutes the couch is free, want to go inside?"

"Sure."

They get up and go inside into the living room. They take the blankets they had from the night before and begin to curl up on the couch.

"Wait. I have to go check on Billy."

"OK, I'll come."

After they check on Billy, they cuddle on the couch before falling asleep.

"I can barely keep my eyes open."

"Its OK, I'm getting tired myself."

Mary gives Wilson his goodnight kiss. "I'm so lucky to have you. Good night."

"Good night."

They nuzzle into each other, each finding a comfortable position, and fall asleep for the night. They wake up around 9:30 Sunday morning.

"I guess we really were tired."

"Yeah. Did you sleep better tonight?"

"Much better. Now that I think about it, I didn't have any bad dreams and I slept through the night, I think."

"That's great Mare. See, I knew things would get better."

"It wouldn't have gotten any better it if wasn't for you."

When they go in to get breakfast, Reverend Camden speaks to them.

"I made a few pone calls, and Mary has an appointment tomorrow at 3:30."

"Great, that's fine for me."

"Me too." Mary says.

After breakfast, Wilson and Billy leave. Mary spends the rest of the day finishing up her homework, after church that is. Monday, Mary goes to school, and is nervous all day about her upcoming counseling session. She finally arrives home at 2:30, and waits for Wilson to pick her up at 3:00. He pulls in and Mary gets in the car. The ride is pretty silent, except for Mary sporadically asking the same question over and over again.

"Why am I doing this again?"

"Like I told you three times already, it will help you. I know you don't think it will help to talk about it, but it will. Trust me"

They reach their destination, and get out of the automobile. As soon as Mary sets foot in the parking lot, she turns around and heads back to the car.

"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."

Wilson grabs her hand. "Yes it was."

"OK, maybe it was. But I don't think I can do this."

"Maybe you can't do this, but we can, together. I'm here for you Mary, and I'm not going anywhere. I love you."

"I love you, too."

They turn towards the building, and walk in together, with the belief that love concurs all.
