"Jimmy cheated on me," Kim answered crying.
"Kim, I'm sorry," Bobby said pulling her closer. Kim leaned her head on Bobby's shoulder. He noticed a change in her breathing and that she had stopped crying. Bobby picked Kim up and gently laid her down on his bed so he wouldn't wake her. Then he went into the living room to sleep on the couch.
Kim woke up that morning alone in Bobby's bed. She quietly got up and went into the living room. She saw Bobby sound asleep on the couch. Kim wrote Bobby a note so he would know where she was and left.
Jimmy had just gotten home. He spent the whole night getting drunk at a bar. He saw Kim walking up to him. "Hey Kim," Jimmy said about to pull her into his arms.
Kim pulled back. "These are for you," Kim said handing Jimmy an envelope and her wedding ring.
"What is this?" Jimmy asked.
"Just sign them and give them to me tomorrow," Kim replied and left.
Jimmy opened the envelope. The contents brought tears to his eyes. There in his hands were divorce papers.
Kim walked up to her mother's house. She was supposed to pick Joey up last night but she forgot to. Kim knocked on the door. "Kim I'm so glad to see you. When you didn't show up last night I thought something had happened to you," Kim's mom said.
"I'm sorry. I meant to come over here, but I forgot. A lot happened last night," Kim said.
"Would you like to fill me in?" Kim's mom asked.
"I'm divorcing Jimmy," Kim replied.
"Why?" Kim's mom asked.
"Because he cheated on me," Kim said trying not to cry.
Kim's mom tried to comfort her daughter the best she could. "I'm going to get Joey," Kim said.
Kim and Joey were at Bobby's place. Kim didn't know whether or not she should tell Joey. "Mommy, where's daddy?" Joey asked.
Kim looked at Bobby for help. "Joey, you're mom and dad aren't going to be with each other anymore," Bobby said.
"Why not?" Joey asked.
"Your mom and dad are kind of upset with each other," Bobby said. Joey just sat there not saying anything.
"Joey are you okay?" Kim asked.
"Does this mean I won't get to see daddy anymore?" Joey asked.
"No. You'll still get to see him. Just not as much as you used to," Kim replied.
"Oh," Joey replied and started coloring.
Bobby and Kim went into his room to talk. "Do you think Joey is okay?" Kim asked.
"I don't know. He'll get used to it Kim. He'll understand when he's older," Bobby said softly.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing? What if this is hurting Joey?" Kim asked.
"It may hurt Joey, but if you stayed with Jimmy it'd hurt him worse. I think it's better for you to raise Joey without Jimmy, rather than raising him with Jimmy where he'd listen to you guys arguing and fighting all the time," Bobby replied. Kim just shook her head. Bobby pulled Kim into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Do you want to stay here again?" Bobby asked.
"Sure," Kim replied.
"You and Joey can sleep on the bed I'll sleep on the couch," Bobby replied.
"Are you sure?" Kim asked.
"Yeah I'm sure," Bobby replied. Kim leaned over and lightly kissed Bobby on the lips. Joey walked in and saw them kissing.
