A/N: I was so psyched to see all of your reviews!Don't worry, it's really Frank, and I was glad to see that most of youfeel that Frank does have a valid reason to be upset. (He's kind of a jerk in this chapter, but he'll get better.) So please, R & R. Thanks so much!

"Frank, you don't understand." Joe said calmly.

"Oh, no, I think I understand perfectly." Frank said angrily. "With me out of the way, you moved in on the one girl you couldn't have before!"

"No!" Joe answered firmly. "You don't know what you're talking about!"

"Frank..." Nancy spoke up. "It wasn't like that! We just-"

Frank's eyes showed more hurt than anger as he looked at her. "Didn't you care?" he asked her. "I loved you, Nancy. I thought you felt the same way."

"Frank, that was... yes. But that was a long time ago."

"So... since I wasn't around, you decided to marry my brother?" Frank fired back.

Nancy was angry and upset. "I didn't marry him just because you weren't here! We were trying to find you!"

"Oh, well, I hope all that time you spent looking for me didn't interfere with your love lives!" Frank returned maliciously.

"What did you want us to do!" Nancy yelled. "We didn't know if you were ever coming back! We thought you were dead!"

"Is that what you really thought?" Frank shouted. "That I was dead? Or is that what you hoped!" He strode over to the door. "I didn't think you would forget me." He opened it. "But it looks likeI was wrong." He disappeared, slamming the door behind him.

"Frank!" Nancy ran to the door, but Joe grabbed her wrist.

"Let him go."

Nancy was crying. "What if he never comes back? What if he disappears again and we never get to explain?"

"I know Frank." Joe said. "He was upset. He'll be back." In the meantime, Joe knew, they had to do some serious reevaluating of their relationship. Looking at Nancy, he felt a sharp pain at the thought of losing her. But he had to know. "Do you still love him?"

Nancy looked up at him through red-rimmed eyes, genuinely shocked. "What!"

"I know you loved him, Nancy, and if you still do, that's going to be a problem. Because I don't want to be your second choice."

Nancy yanked her wrist from Joe's grasp and folded her arms. "Do you really think I would do that to you?"

"I don't know, Nancy." Joe retorted. "But what I do know is that, the first time you see Frank in five years, you're practically making out with him!"

Nancy's jaw dropped at the insinuation. "You know that's not true!" she yelled. "What's wrong with you!"

"What's wrong with me!" Joe yelled back. "I'm having second thoughts about whether marrying you was a good idea in the first place! That's what's wrong with me!"

Nancy's eyes flashed. "I'm going to ignore that because I know that you love me and you're just being a typical man with your stupid, childish-!" She was cut off as Joe pulled her to him and covered her mouth with his, kissing her passionately. She slipped her arms around his waist and waited until they came up for air to finish her sentence. "...insecurities."

"You're right." Joe murmured, kissing her neck.

Nancy took his head in her hands and made him look at her. "I will never love anyone as much as I love you." she said firmly. "Do you understand me?"

Joe kissed her. "I'm sorry."

"You should be." she replied. "This whole situation with Frank is going to be difficult, and I'd rather handle it together than be fighting over it."

"So would I." Joe answered. He pulled her against his chest and rocked her back and forth.

"Good." she replied tiredly, content to relax in his arms for a while.

After a few moments of comfortable silence, Joe spoke up. "So who's the better kisser?"

Nancy just laughed.

A/N: Okay, some N/J fluff for y'all. Please, review and tell me what you think! You guys all rock. Seriously.
