*Author's Note: I could only come up with 4 tonight. I thought of Lover's Delight and along came the other three. I think that's better than having four good ones and two mediocre ones.

25) Lover's Delight- Phillip, Jan, Wally and Marcia had spent their first anniversary with each other. All four went to a fancy French restaurant of Phillip's choosing. Wally wasn't particularly happy with the fancy setting; he was more of a diner guy. He bit his tongue and went with it. He was slowly getting better at dealing with Phillip's uptight, high maintenance ways. He also thought about Marcia and how she would probably like something fancy for her first anniversary, too.

The dinner went as smooth as the red wine they had chosen for their chateau brian dinner. It was a perfect medium-rare piece of beef with frites (french fries).

"Let's skip dessert," Jan blurted out.

"Why, sweetheart?" Phillip asked, rather stunned. "You love the creme brulee everytime we come here."

"I want ice cream," was all she had to say for Marcia's face to light up.

"Haskell's!" They blurted at the same time as their husbands just sat there wondering what the new ice cream fuss was all about. Marcia and Jan told them everything about the place and their crazy employment in the half an hour it took them to get there. Nothing had changed in the old Haskell place except for the man behind the counter; Mr. Haskell passed away during Jan's freshman year of college.

"Oh my God!" Marcia exclaimed.

"What?" Jan asked, looking in the direction Marcia was pointing. She laughed when she read that week's sundae special: The Lover's Delight. All four ended up getting one. The strawberry-vanilla-marshmallow sundae still tasted as good as it always had and once again, the treat was on Marcia.

26) She's Got A Way- Wally loved Marcia; it didn't take a genius to notice. As time went by with their marriage, the birth of their children and his on-going battle with employment he began to doubt himself. He looked through some of Marcia's old yearbooks and saw what a special girl she was. He was always taken aback by the boy's well wishes and all the hearts circled around boys she liked or had dated. All those good looking guys and he figured he was just a hairy guy. He couldn't help but feel bad when she walked into the room sometimes. He believed she had deserved better but he could never tell her. At his worst times, he would be cold and distant and Marcia would always wonder and wish he could tell her why.

27) When A Man Loves A Woman- That whole period when her family lost their home and they had to move back in with their parents was an embarrassing time for Marcia. Her husband completely lost his self-esteem and the kids looked more and more to their grandmother for maternal reassurance. Marcia was scared out of her mind that she was losing everything, even her grace which was proven in her alcoholic period. It was during the days of her alcoholism that she was secretly planning on getting a job, taking the kids out of her parent's house, and divorcing Wally. She secretly blamed him for the situation they were in. It wasn't until the day she admitted her alcohol problem did she see how much Wally meant to her. The fact that he was bound and determined to go through hell and back to be with her made her realize what she could have lost.

28) Wedding Night Heartbreak- Jan hadn't felt good that whole week right before her wedding. She blamed it on nerves or PMS but there was something more to it than that. Something told her to go get a pregnancy test, so she did and there was a big, pink postive sign for pregnant. She had to conceal it for now and she would wait until after their honeymoon was over. She began to feel better and better everyday after she found out and she was absolutely radiant on her wedding day. That night was a different story. They got back to their hotel room and she began to feel cramping. Jan got herself to the bathroom where she found out that she was indeed having a miscarriage.

"Oh my God," she whispered to herself. "What am I going to do?"

By the grace of God, she heard Phillip snore. He was so exhausted he fell asleep. Jan spent the better part of her wedding night weeping on the toilet.
