Chapter 6

"Eddie, what the hell are you doing here?"

It was 3am and Eddie just randomly showed up at the door of Jamie's hotel. How the hell did she even know where he was?

"I know it's really late, or earlier I guess, and I didn't tell you that I was coming, but here I am. Can I come in?" Eddie said, rather rushed together.

Jamie sighed and then moved out of the way. Once she was inside, her gave her a once over. He saw her clearly defined bump. She's definitely still pregnant.

"So, are you gonna answer my question now? Why the hell are you here?"

Eddie took in a deep breath before answering.

"These past 5 months have been eye opening. I had time to think about myself, and us, and the baby. I had time to think about a lot of things, I realized what I really wanted."

"And what is that?" Jamie was growing inpatient.

"I want us to start over. I want us to act like we never got married."

"So you want us to act like we're divorced without actually getting divorced?"

"No. I want us to act like we never got married. I want to start over. Go on our first date. You know, like as if we were dating."

"Eddie, you do realize you're like 7 months pregnant. How do expect us to just start over with a baby coming in 2 months?"

"Trust me, Jamie, I realize how pregnant I am. And we can still raise the baby together."

"Eddie, I already told you I don't want us to remain married and raise our child in two different homes."

"Jamie, please just give this a try. I know it's not ideal, but it's the only way I see our marriage working."

"Maybe this marriage was never meant to work. Maybe we're just too different."

"So, you want to get divorced?"

"It'd be better than whatever it is we're doing right now."

"Ok. If that's what you want. I'll bring the papers first thing Monday morning."

"I still love you, Eddie. I always have, and I always will, but I'm not in love with you anymore. We're just too different. I'm so sorry."

"It's ok. I get it." Eddie said, quickly wiping fallen tears off her cheeks.

"Please don't cry."

"I can't help it." She said sadly, as more tears spilled from her eyes.

"Can I give you a hug?" Jamie asked, holding out his hands. Eddie simply nodded and walked into Jamie's warm embrace. It felt so comfortable, so safe.

Eddie couldn't believe they were getting a divorce. What had gone so horribly wrong?

After a few moments, Jamie released his grip on Eddie, and dropped his arms.

"Is there any way I can get you to change your mind?"

"The only way I would change my mind is if you said wanted us to pick up where we left off and fix it from there. I don't have the energy to start from scratch."

Eddie thought for several moments before answering.

"I guess I'd be willing to try it your way. The truth is, I don't want a divorce, and I really don't think you want that either. I want us to be a family. I'm still in love with you."

"So, does this mean I can come home?"

"Yes. To be honest, I missed sleeping beside you. I always feel like something's missing."

"I know, I do too."

Jamie pulled Eddie back to his chest and kissed her forehead. He took in a deep breath of her hair. Lavender and oranges l. He felt safe again in her arms. He felt like he belonged. He felt truly happy again.

A/N: Should I end it here? I kind feel like this isn't a terrible place to end it.
