"But that's just a lot of water

Underneath a bridge I burned

And there's no use in backtracking

Around corners I have turned

Still I guess some things we bury

Are just bound to rise again

For even if the whole world has forgotten"

Antonio looked up as Natalie and Jamie come in.

"Daddy!" The girl said a she ran into her father's arms.

Antonio hugged her tight. "So how was your dance recital?"

"It was so great. Mommy taped it for you so you can watch it." She said happily.

"Thanks." Antonio told Natalie.

"No problem. Jamie why don't you go and see if Uncle Tommy has some candy for you?" Natalie suggested.

"I'll be right back." She said as she ran off.

Antonio sat back down and offered Natalie the other seat. "So why did you come here?" Antonio asked.

"She wanted to see her father."

"Natalie…."

"It's true! Look we took a cab to the recital and then here."

"A cab! You know I don't like you two taking cabs!" Antonio said mad.

"Calm down! Look she wanted to ok? Plus I didn't see the point in taking another car. What do you not want to take us home or something?"

"Natalie, you know that not the problem."

"Then what is it? What is it this time, Antonio?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"What it means is that you always get made at me for something and I'm getting sick of it. Remember me I'm the only one who seems to ever go to our daughter's recitals or anything she's in."

"She's my daughter." Antonio said correcting her.

"Don't say that! I'm just as much her mother as you are her father." Natalie said crying. "I may not have given birth to her but at least I love her."

"Mommy, Daddy look what Uncle Tommy gave me!" She said running up.

Natalie started wiping the tears away.

"Let me see that." Antonio said. "You know I thought I told Tommy you didn't need any more candy you were sweet enough already."

She looked at Natalie. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine sweetie really." Natalie said lying.

"So how about the three of us go home so I can watch that video?" Antonio offered.

"Great. I'll race you!" She said as she ran to the car.

"Jamie don't run!" Natalie screamed and she slowed down.

Antonio went over to Natalie and put his arm around her. "I'm sorry sweetie I really am."

"I know you are, you always are but Antonio I get enough from everyone else telling me that she doesn't look like me, that I'm not her mother. I just can't take it from you too."

"But you are her mother in every way that counts." Antonio said meaning it.

"Now let's go home with out daughter." Antonio said leading her out of the station.

Natalie rested her head on his shoulder. "How did you know that, that is exactly what I wanted to do?"  Natalie said smiling.

"You're my wife, so I'm supposed to know."

"So how was work?" Jessica asked Cristian as she sat down at the dinner table after putting Patrick to sleep.

"Good Sloan has chosen three more paintings to show."

"That's great news, Cris. So which ones did he choose?"

"It's not really important which ones, Jess."

Jessica put her fork down. "The ones of Natalie, right?" She asked through clenched teeth.

"Yes, those." Cristian said sadly.

"Now the real question is are you sad you might lose them or that I found out?"

"The second. I didn't want us to fight, Jess. I wanted us to be happy."

"I partially believe that." Jessica said.

"Look can we not talk about that ok? Let's talk about how work went for you to today."

"You know how it went, you came and visited me, remember?"

"You don't seem to be happy about that."

"No it was a nice surprise really it just didn't really help me concentrate."

"I didn't know I was that distracting." Cristian said smiling.

"You always have been Cristian Vega and you know that." Jessica said smiling.

"Oh and you're not? Why do you think I have so much trouble getting work done at home?" Cristian said smiling.

"Because you can't stop thinking about me?"

"Well that and you won't stop interrupting me." Cris said laughing.

"Oh shut up!" Jessica said laughing.
