Hey hey, sorry bout taking way too long to update, but hey, Im a busy girl.

I know that this story has been missing the romance. But hopefully this chap will fill the void. Its not so much mushy gushy love, but more sad sad romance. Oh yeah, and there isn't much Billy or kidnapping in this chapter, but don't worry . . .the police are on it.

IMPORANT MESSAGE! Ok, this chapter was written while I sang "Brand New Day" by Forty Foot Echo to myself. It is possibly one of the greatest songs I have ever heard in all of my existence. If I weren't using it for this chapter, I would base an entire fic around this song. I feel that the effect of this chapter is zilch unless you are listening to that song. So I suggest you go download it if you can, or get your butt up and go buy the Freaky Friday soundtrack before you read, thank you.

*Never thought I'd say I'm sorry

Wilson leaned forward on the couch, intently staring at the door. He was waiting for her to come back through the door and apologize. He would hold her and kiss her, and tell her that he loves her.

~Never thought id be the one to bring you down

Who was he kidding? She didn't need to apologize, she hadn't done anything wrong. She had been nothing but wonderful for the past 6 awful days.

~Now when I look out my window

He looked around the empty apartment, the phone tech was gone. He had work to do now that they had opened up so much on the case. Wilson felt stupid for actually missing the company.

So many times since he was 16 he had wished that there were no Billy. And recently, he had wanted Mary out of his hair.

~But there doesn't seem to be anyone around

Now he was alone, just like he had wanted. And it was the worst feeling in the world.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mary sat down on the edge of her bed; she was still a little shaky. She had sat in her car for a few minutes before she even left Wilson's apartment. She felt so stupid, what was she even doing in his business anyway?

There aren't books on how to act when your fiancés son gets kidnapped. So Mary just did what she thought she should do, stand by him, and be there for him.

Maybe she was too involved.

She picked up the remote and switched on the TV. Her own tear-streaked face was staring back at her, and then flashed a picture of a woman with bright eyes and a sweet face surrounded by a mass of brown curls. She trusted that sweet face.

This was her fault.

She switched the TV off and lay down to try and sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wilson was barely conscious as he shivered in the bed; he reached over to hold Mary.

She wasn't there.

He had grown so accustomed to her presence. Falling asleep with her warm body in his arms, and waking up to her soft skin glowing in the sunlight that beamed through the window.

In a vain attempt for peace Wilson bundled up some blanket and held it close to him. It wasn't Mary.

No one in the whole world was like Mary. He knew it the day he met her so many years ago. She was just a little girl, but he could just tell that she would grow up to be a wonderful woman. And she had, and she was all his, soon to be forever. But he sent her away.

He had to get her back.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

That morning Mary decided that she wouldn't try to contact Wilson. She knew that he needed his space, and definitely didn't want to talk to her.

~We said we'd take a little time

She couldn't stand being away from him. Normally this was true, but today it was greater than ever. Wilson's son was God knows where with a woman who could be clinically insane.

She needed to be with him

~For both of us to see

She decided to take a walk out to the mailbox; maybe some fresh air would help her. She made her way to the end of the sidewalk. She pulled the large bundle of mail out and thumbed though it as she headed for the front door.

There was a big yellow envelope at the back of the stack. The sight of it caused Mary to start crying. Inside of that envelope were the papers that were going to make Billy Mary's son.

Mary realized that it was Friday, that Monday they were supposed to go to court. Then Billy would legally be her child. Four days later they were going to be a real family when Wilson would become her husband.

She was supposed to get married in a week. She had completely forgotten amongst all of the mess. 

Mary wanted to be married so bad. She wanted to be with Wilson and Billy, and take care of them forever. She wasn't so sure in the beginning that it was what she really wanted. A week ago she wasn't even sure if it was what she wanted. She had been thinking of leaving Wilson at the altar. But now Billy was missing, and Wilson was hurting. There was nothing Mary could do. But she wanted to be with them.

She would do anything for those boys.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was getting late and the sun was starting to set. You could barely tell due to the dark storm clouds, moving across the sky.

~Wonder what it'd be like to carry on

The rain fell lightly and Mary watched it through teary eyes. She was sitting in a chair in the living room just thinking about what she could have done to prevent this. She shouldn't have even said anything, ever. Just stood there for moral support. He didn't need her to talk.

~Yeah, I know I got crazy

He was probably getting along fine without her. He didn't need her, that's why he didn't call. Mary just cried harder as these thoughts went through her mind.

~Well I guess it's just me

She wished that she could close her eyes and it would be last Friday night. She would tell Wilson that there was no reason to go out. She would warn him about Cari. He would still love her, and they would be happy. Maybe she could go back to months and month before and she would tell Wilson to leave her alone. All she would do was ruin his life.

~If I could turn back time before the wrong

The doorbell rang; Mary didn't want to get it. But the Colonel and Ruth were out so she had to.

She dried her tears and answered the door.

He turned around, the rain was really coming down now, and he was soaking wet. Little drops of rain ran down his face as he looked up at Mary with apologetic eyes.

~And I, I think I'll change my ways

When she saw him she completely forgot everything that was troubling her mind. All of her worries and doubts drown in the puddles surrounding his feet.

She threw her arms around him and he held here tightly.

"I'm sorry" Wilson whispered in her ear.

~Never thought I'd say I'm sorry

Wow, in 1,305 words only one line of dialogue, Im pretty impressed with myself.
