Cathy kissed my chest again as we lay in her bed. This was all too crazy and wonderful to be true. There had to be a catch. What snag was going to catch us this time? What could happen now? "Jamie?" Cathy whispered.

"Yes?" I responded.

"Are you happy?" she asked me.

"Extremely," I whispered back and kissed her. When we pulled away she was smiling.

"I'm happy, too," Cathy said. "I'm just afraid…"

"Of what?" I asked. "We're happy, Cathy, what can go wrong?"

"We were happy in the beginning of our marriage, weren't we? We were happy all those months ago, weren't we?" Cathy asked. "I just don't know what is in the future that will tear us apart again."

"Nothing will ever tear me away from you again, Cathy," I said as I put my arms around her. "I love you too much to be without you."

"I love you, too Jamie," Cathy said and rested her head on me. "But what about Lisa? And Elise? I thought she wanted to get married."

"Actually, we broke up," I said smiling. "Finally." Cathy smiled. This was paradise. I was with Cathy, she would adopt Lisa and we would be her parents. Maybe even move to a suburb. Cathy could be a stay-at-home wife and I could work at home writing my books. It would be perfect.

Cathy looked at me and chuckled. "Lisa is going to have some messed up life," she said. I frowned.

"Why do you say that?" I asked.

"Jamie, think about it," Cathy explained. "Daddy married Mommy1, divorced her for Mommy2, and left her for Mommy1, who finally adopted her and now lives with her. Oh, and she sees Mommy2 every other weekend and Daddy and Mommy2 always yell. You don't think that's going to be messed up?"

"I suppose…" I said. "Hey, you want to adopt Lisa?"

"Of course," Cathy said kissing me.

"Besides," I said, "Lisa will know Daddy and Mommy1 loves each other very much, so why should it matter what Mommy2 does?"

"Maybe because that's biological Mommy?" Cathy reasoned. "Besides, she'll have partial custody, won't she?"

"I hope not," I said. "We will be Lisa's parents, not Elise."

"It's her mother, she should she her child," Cathy said sitting up to face me. "Would you never want to see Lisa again? Besides, she has a good case against you for custody."

"What do you mean?" I asked. I thought I was a good parent, or at least a better parent than Elise was or could ever be.

"She'll say you are unreliable. First you had a wife, then you left her, now you're going back," Cathy said. "I just want you to be prepared for everything, and that is what she will say to hurt you."

"She can't hurt me as long as you love me," I said, than I kissed her forehead.

"I love you," Cathy said, "so much."

"Our life is going to be bliss from now own, Cathy, bliss," I said, daydreaming out loud. "We could even move into a suburb near the city so Lisa can go to a normal school. I'll write my best sellers from home and you'll be a stay-at-home mom. It will be bliss." I looked over at Cathy and I could tell she thought it was anything but bliss.

"Stay-at-home mom?" Cathy repeated. .

"Well, yeah. I just think it would be better for Lisa, you know?" I said cautiously.

"My career is finally starting and you want me to be a stay-a-t-home mom?" Cathy said scornfully. Wrong approach.

"All I mean to say is that…" I started. Think of something, fast! "Well, wouldn't it be a bit of a commute from the suburb to the theatre eight times a week?" Good one. I smiled at Cathy, but she didn't smile back. Apparently, not a good one.

"Who says we're living in a suburb?" Cathy retorted, getting out of bed and getting dressed. Shit, did I always ruin things?

"No, I mean, it just, I want a family…" I said, not really getting anywhere.

"And we can't be a family if I'm an actress?" Cathy asked as she slipped on her jeans. "What, should I be a Desperate Housewife?"

"Cathy, please, just listen to me," I asked. Cathy stood there crossed her arms. She raised her eyebrows to tell me to continue. "I'm sorry. I don't really want you to stop acting. You love acting and if you stopped, you would be devastated. I don't want to be the one who hurts you anymore. Please, forgive me." Cathy waited a moment, and then she hugged me.

"I forgive you, do you forgive me for overacting?" Cathy asked me.

"Only if you take off your clothes again," I joked, but she did anyway. We had bliss for the rest of the afternoon, if you know what I mean.

Nothing could tear us apart again.
