4th chapter- "Trouble in heaven"(this chapter is rated M/R)
"Are they gone?" I asked worried
"No…no!" I just came to get the gentlemen some coffee!" he said and I made a stupid face, "What?"
"Oh, Edie! I'm kidding," he's a real bastard…
"Now you're kidding? Jesus, Tom!"
"What's your problem?" he asked
"Oh, nothing. Just the simple fact that our son was kidnapped by a bunch of…of…those friends of yours." I shot
"Come on, 'Mrs Stall'. Jack is here and safe." He stated calmly. Tom had changed, he was a different person, "Damned luck!" I shouted
"What's wrong with you, woman?"
"Fuck you, Tom!" I said and went upstairs.
I got into Jack's room and said, "Pack your things! You're going to your grandma's house."
"Why, mom?"
"Because I told you to and is safer there."
Then I went to Sarah's room, "Baby, I'm going to pick some clothes and you're going to your grandma's, ok?"
"Ok, mommy." Sarah said as Jack came inside, "Mom, Henry called and asked if I wanted to stay at his place, instead. Can I?"
"Yeah, Jack, you can."
When everything was ready we got downstairs, "Don't say that you're leaving." Tom said worried, noticing the bags, "Unfortunately, no" I said sarcastically, "I'm taking MY children to a safer place"
"Where?"
"Sarah is going to my mother's and Jack to Henry's"
They said goodbye to their father and we left.
I first left Jack at Henry's and then went to my mother's place
"Hello, my dear!" my mother welcomed me, "And how is my sweet little girl?" she asked Sarah
"She's fine," I answered, and then turned to my daughter, "Sarah, go say hi to grandpa!" I told her.
I asked my mother if Sarah could stay at her place, and she agreed, "What happened?" my mother asked
"Nothing." I answered not wanting to worry her about the visit of the mobsters to my place; "I just need to work out some things with Tom…" I added shyly
"Did you argue?" she asked concerned
"Kind of…we haven't been getting along well since that problem at the diner."
"Did he hit you?"
"No!" I answered stunned at her question, "He would never do that", and at least I thought so.
"I need to go now," I said "Thank you for taking Sarah"
"No problem, dear. You'll see, everything is going to be alright," my mother told me and I left.
When I arrived home, Tom was nowhere to be found so I started looking for him, he was at the bathroom having a bath. He was lying in the tub and because of the water the bathroom was killing hot. His eyes were shut when he asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you…"
"I guess you found what you wanted," he said with a smile, "What for?"
"I didn't know were you were."
As he got up, I turned my eyes away from Him. I know he is my husband but I didn't feel comfortable with that situation, "Why are you turning away from me?" he asked upset
"I don't know, Tom." I answered "I know nothing now…" I added as he came to stand in front of me.
"You know I love, don't you?" he asked in a low voice
"I'm not sure," I said not looking at him the eyes, "You've changed. I don't know you anymore…"
"I'm sorry…for everything," he said as he hugged me
He started kissing my lips and then my mouth. I missed those kisses that we used to share every day…it wasn't like that anymore. As his tongue was entwining with mine he started unzipping my jeans, I could feel his hardness pressing against me, but I didn't want him to continue, "Tom stop, please." I begged him.
He stopped to look at me in the eyes, "Edie, please, I need you," after saying this he continued trying to take my jeans off, "Stop!" I shouted.
"I don't understand you anymore, Edie" he said with teary eyes, "You were always the 'insatiable' one."
I felt so ashamed, made me remember that episode with the cheerleading outfit, the day I made Tom a 69…maybe he was right by saying that I used to be the "insatiable one", "Alright, now the problem is mine. You're a joke, Tom."
"What do you mean?"
"You are the one with identity problems, aren't you?"
"And you are the one who doesn't want to have sex, 'aren't you'?" he said has he put a towel around his waist covering his…his…thing.
"I have my reasons." I shot
"Sarah is not at home," he said sarcastically, again.
Not knowing what to say, I asked, "What do you want for dinner?"
"You know what I would love to eat, but I see now that you can't give me that."
"Yes, I know Tom. Scrambled eggs." I said with a fake smile
I zipped my jeans and took off the bathroom.

Author's note: Tom is a lot more sarcastic in our fanfiction than in the movie. Please review.
