The next day Debra returned home from Linda's. She opened the front door and looked around the empty house sighing as she hung her coat up. She looked up to see Ray coming down the stairs.

"Hey," she managed.

"Hi," he responded and after months of barely speaking to or looking at her he finally saw his wife. The sadness and pain she felt were betrayed by her eyes and all over her face. He noticed the child she carried beginning to grow.

"Where are the kids?" She asked

"Oh, they're across the street," he said pausing, "Can we talk?"

She smiled slightly, "Sure, if you really want to."

He sat down on the sofa and motioned for her to sit by him, "Deb, you know how hurt I have been by what happened between you and Robert."

Debra took a deep breath, "I know Ray and I will do whatever it takes to make this right. I love you, and only you. I know saying I'm sorry isn't enough."

Ray rubbed his temples, "I just have to know that I can trust you. Right now, I don't know that anymore."

"Well tell me what to do to help you get there. The only thing I can promise is that it won't happen again. I don't have those feelings for Robert and I know he loves Amy."

"I think it's just going to take time. I just need time." He responded

Debra nodded, "I understand but what about the baby?"

Ray looked at her smiling softly, "I'm sorry for what I said. I know the baby is mine. I shouldn't have lashed out at you even though I was angry."

"It's alright. I know this will take time and I am willing to wait. I just wish it was like it was when I was pregnant before. You were so happy." She said sadly.

I know," he said getting up, "I gotta go, the kids are waiting. They want to go to the zoo."

"Okay, well I guess we'll talk more later? I have a drs. appt next week if you want to go with me." She said sounding hopeful.

"I don't know Deb, maybe." He said opening the door, "I'll have the kids back tomorrow about 5."

"Okay, bye Ray." She said shutting the door behind him.

After a hot bath and long nap Debra woke to the rain pounding on the roof and her stomach growling. She got up and looked out the window which revealed a cold, wet gloomy day. She felt her stomach rumble again.

She put her hand on her belly, "Is that you or me kid?"

She put on her robe and went downstairs to make someting to eat. After heating up some leftovers and pouring a glass of milk she scanned the bookshelf for something to read. Her eyes fell on a photo album on the shelf among the books. She smiled slightly taking it off the shelf. Putting her plate and glass on the table she settled on the couch and opened up the album. There were pictures of her and Ray, of her pregnant with Ally and the boys, pictures of family vacations. The last page was of the last trip they took to Niagra Falls. Ally had taken of picture of them by the falls with their arms wrapped around each other. Tears began to slide down her face. What have I done? I know Ray said it would take time and maybe he will come back but what have I done to my children? She thought putting her hand to her belly, I am so sorry little one, I may have taken away the one thing I wanted to give you, a family.
