"I'm home, I'm sorry, I know I'm a terrible husband" AJ said coming in crashing through the door.

"Just the worse" came from Keesha who appeared out of a doorway in almost nothing, well except for the smile.

AJ dropped his briefcase to his side and smiled "Remind me to be late more often." He was about to kiss her when a cry broke out from upstairs.

They both groaned "I'll go get her," Keesha said breaking free of her arms.

"No, I'll go." He started up the stairs "I don't suppose there's actually food? I didn't eat lunch today; I spent the only half hour I had free between meetings on the phone with Michael telling me about his pony ride."

Keesha looked perplexed "But it's December, isn't."

AJ laughed "Jason rented out the gym at the Y."

And once more they were gone..

"What you're trying to make me believe AJ and Jason get along?"

"AJ was almost a good guy once, he just had trouble a good guy, but Keesha keeps him on that track."

Carly shook her head in disbelief "So tell me the story behind this already."

"It's pretty simple like the rest, you died, Jason was Michael's dad, AJ could move on with his life. He and Keesha worked things out and then he took up running the ELQ offices out in LA. Their daughter Lillian is almost a year and he's been sober for over five."

"You know I'm really sick of hearing about how great everyone's life is without me, isn't anyone suffering?"

"Unfortunately yes."
