The next day Amanda watched Aiden playing on the back pourch with his toys. He had asked about Harry this morning, he wanted to see his dad but Amanda had quickly solved it by telling him that he'd see his dad soon. Now Amanda had to figure it out, she knew in the end she couldn't keep Aiden from Harry but she didn't want Harry using Aiden as a playing piece because he knew she's lay down and die for her child.
"No coat," Amanda looked down at him and stopped Aiden from taking off his jacket.
"No sweetie, it's the middle of winter. I don't even know why we're out here,"said Amanda getting up,"C'mon we're going in."
"No,"cried Aiden.
"C'mon mom will get you some cookies,"coaxed Amanda picking up one of his toys. Aiden perked up at this and grabbed his toys and ran inside followed by Amanda who closed the door behind them. She followed him into the living room where he dropped his toys and helpped him get his jacket off. Once it was off he went running into the kitchen leaving Amanda alone, quickly she put the jacket away and joined her son in the kitchen.
"Cookies,"cried Aiden as he stood looking at her with big eyes. Amanda ruffled his hair slightly as she made her way to the cupboard and got out a box of cookies. Pulling out a plate she placed the cookies on it and set it on the kitchen table before picking Aiden up and setting him on his booster seat. Just as she was going to sit down she heard the doorbell ring. Getting up Amanda walked down the hall to the front door, she looked through the peephole and seen Kyle standing on the other side. After unlocking the door she pulled it open and half smiled as she looked up at Kyle.
"Hey."
"Hey c'mon in,"said Amanda pulling the door open wider and stepping aside. Kyle walked in and turned to look at her as Amanda shut the door and locked it. Right away he noticed she looked tired and stressed.
"How are you feeling?"asked Kyle.
"I'm living,"said Amanda,"Just spending time with Aide."
"I brought his elmo,"said Kyle smiling as he held up the toy.
"Thanks, he's in the kitchen,"said Amanda before leading him down the hall. Kyle followed into the kitchen where Kyle was eating his cookies.
"Look Aide, it's Uncle Kyle, look what he brought you,"said Amanda. Aiden looked over at Kyle and smiled as he seen his toy.
"Hey little man,"said Kyle as he walked over to the table and gave Aiden his stuffed toy.
"Aide what do you say?"asked Amanda.
"Tank you Kyle,"said Aiden.
"No problem,"said Kyle as he lifted Aiden out of his seat and set him back down on the ground. Aiden ran back into the living room with Kyle and Amanda following him in. They took a seat on the couch as Aiden played on the floor. Looking over at her Kyle could tell things were taking a toll on her, she looked like someone was draining the fight out of her. It made him feel horrible for supporting Harry, he was the person who made her feel this way.
"How are ya doing?"asked Kyle.
"Still living,"sighed Amanda softly,"I suppose I should ask how Harry is?"
"He's not doing too well,"said Kyle,"My mom's taken over the pity party." Amanda creased her brow, Kyle sounded a tad angry not the sympathetic way he should.
"You sound upset,"said Amanda calling him on it. Kyle rolled his eyes as his bit his lip and looked away from her. This drew Amanda's curiousity, she knew Kyle was on the fence on this one but he seemed to be falling off to one side.
"What's up?"asked Amanda.
"I've just been coming to the realization that maybe Harry doesn't deserve the sympathy he's getting,"said Kyle,"And that maybe you're getting the blunt end from it by people wanting Harry to win you back."
"Well don't think I'm gonna be mad at you for anything, you and Harry are family I completely understand you wanting to stand by him,"said Amanda,"I'm not going to shun you for it."
"No, this is his and your thing, you two have to deal with it, without everyone else,"said Kyle,"I just want to see you and Aiden happy."
"Well that's all we want,"said Amanda,"Have you told him I want a divorce?"
"Yeah, he didn't seem to take it too well, do you still want one?"asked Kyle.
"Yeah, like there's no going back on this one, there's no way I could, not after that,"said Amanda,"I'm not going to rush out and get one, I'm gonna give myself time and tie up loose ends but eventually I am going to file. Christ with my luck Ronnie will be his lawyer."
"If that's the case, you know every dime of our family's money into getting you the best lawyer can buy,"said Kyle,"You can take my word on it, I won't sit back and watch you get screwed by anyone."
"Thanks,"said Amanda thankful she had someone in that camp looking out for her.
"So what did your dad say over it?"asked Kyle.
"Not much, I don't think he knows what to say, like I have the feeling part of him is like I told you so but he doesn't want to say anything because he doesn't want to be rude. He asks me how I'm doing all the time, but I think he'll be thrilled the day that I sign the divorce papers,"said Amanda.
"Well just to warn you, when the time comes you just might have to litterally hold a gun to his head to make him sign those papers,"said Kyle,"He really won't go don't without a fight on this one. He wants you back."
"He'll sign them, I'll make damn good and sure of it. If Ronnie can get him in to bed, then I can get him to slap his signature on the dotted line,"snapped Amanda. Kyle smiled slightly, atleast now he had the reassurance that the spitfire was still there.
"Ya know I don't get him, like what does he expect me to do, tell him it's okay I understand and give him a freakin' cookie? He slept with another woman, I'm sorry but as far as I know that's damn good grounds for leaving someone,"said Amanda.
"Can't argue withyou there,"said Kyle.
"And for another thing, where the hell does your mother get off thinking she's going to help him get me back? For a woman she doesn't have much sympathy, she should be smacking him around. If she keeps this stupid campagian up then you tell her to mind her own damn business for me,"said Amanda.
"Will do,"said Kyle nodding. He sat back smiling, part of him felt relieved that Amanda wasn't going to take what Harry had done. She deserved more than that and she was right, Harry shouldn't expect her to come back to him, no matter what anyone said. They talked more but not about Harry, Kyle had managed to convince her into a shopping spree which didn't take too much effort. They also brought up the fact that Amanda was going to soon have to find a place to live, Kyle joking had offered to reverse the lease on the apartment and kick Harry out and let her move in but Amanda just laughed and said she couldn't go back there.

Harry sat in his last class of the day counting down the minutes until he could leave. He had the day from hell, first he ran into Scott coming into the school and recieved a death stare that could've killed, then he ran straight into Ronnie who wanted to know if he was busy later. He bit his lip from telling her that she had some nerve asking but then he had even more nerve telling her that. He avoided her with a shrug and darted into the men's room. Now he sat there as his class mindless talked with one another completely ignoring the work.
Yawning he looked over at the clock, twenty mintues to go. He desperately needed some sleep, he had barely slept since Amanda had left. All he could do was sit up at night staring at the spot next to him in bed thinking Amanda should be there.
"Hey Mr. Senate how's the missus?" Harry looked up at his students and sighed slightly.
"None of your business,"muttered Harry in a tone that told them not to talk back,"I'll be back." Harry walked out of his class and stood at the bottom of the stairs leading to the dungeon. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed in Kyle's cell phone number. After a few rings the other end was answered.
"Hello."
"Hey Kyle,"said Harry.
"Hey man are you okay?"asked Kyle.
"So-so, hey do you remember the name of that doctor Leanne use to date, the one who'd prescribe anything with no questions?"asked Harry.
"Yeah why?"asked Kyle.
"I need something for getting to sleep,"said Harry,"Valium or something."
"Sure, it's Dr. Jacob Mackenzie,"said Kyle,"He's on fourth." Harry nodded as he mentally took the down the information. In the background he could a small child laughing, creasing his brows he knew that laughter.
"Kyle is that Aide?"asked Harry,"That's Aide, are you with Amanda?"
"Um, yeah,"said Kyle hesitantly.
"Are they okay? Can I talk to her?"asked Harry quickly.
"Um, yeah they're good, but I don't think talking to her is such a good idea, at least not yet,"said Kyle quietly.
"C'mon Kyle I gotta talk to her,"said Harry almost pleading.
"Harry ya gotta give her time,"sighed Kyle. He could hear Harry mumbling and and his frustration.
"Tell her I love her,"said Harry,"Aide too."
"I will, I gotta go now, I'll call you later tonight,"said Kyle.
"Okay,"said Harry before hanging up his phone. He leaned against the wall, and ran his hands over his face. It frustrated him beyond belief that his wife would rather see and talk to his cousin than him. Harry was constantly telling himself that he had to give her time and space but it was hard when ever moment he wanted to go to her and beg for her forgivness.
"Mr.Senate shouldn't you be in class monitoring your students?" Grimacing Harry looked up the stairs and seen Scott at the top of them staring sternly down at him.
"I'm on my way,"mumbled Harry turning to walk back into class.
"I would watch what you do around here Mr.Senate you were fired once before, it can happen again,"said Scott. Harry nodded slightly and walked back into his classroom, he expected Scott's anger, how could he not?

Amanda came walking back into the living room from the washroom. She sat back down on the couch next to Kyle who looked to be caught up in his thoughts.
"So what did Mr.Perfect have to say?"asked Amanda sarcastically.
"He really wants to talk to you,"said Kyle,"And he says he loves you."
"Ha, ya know you'd think for a guy with university education he'd know when to piss off,"huffed Amanda.
"So you're not going to talk to him at all?"asked Kyle.
"No, if he wants to talk he can just find another student to talk to,"said Amanda,"I'm sure there's some busty young thing in one of his classes."
"I think as far as he's concerned his busty young thing is right here,"said Kyle.
"Well he can forget about that, geesh can't you set him up with one of those bimbos you date?"snorted Amanda,"Then he can leave me alone."
"Maybe you should talk to him,"said Kyle,"You can't leave him in the dark forever you know. He's gotta know from you what you want to do." Amanda shrugged as she leaned back and watched Aiden play.
