Neela and Jasmine arrived at Chicago fine. Neela had called Abby to pick them up from the airport. Jasmine was excited to see Abby; she was her godmother and went often to visit them in Louisiana.
"Neela, she has gotten so big, and she is looks just like Ray."
" Yeah, I know why do you think Ray is crazy about her, she acts like him and sounds like him he calls her mini me" Neela let out a sad chuckle.
They drove to Abby's apartment and the kids ran into the room to play. Neela and Abby went into the kitchen to get some thing to drink.
"Okay, Neela what is going on?"
"Excuse me?"
"Why are you and Ray like this?"
"Abby he has changed so much, we were so happy together and now he acts as if he hates me."
"Is he like this because of the interview?"
"Yes, he really wanted this job, he told me if he got the position it would mean more money and shorter hours, he wanted us to have another baby."
"Oh poor guy."
"But Abby I told him all that does not matter. I'm doing quite well working in surgery."
"But maybe he wants to be the one to be doing better."
"So all this is about pride, come on now."
"Neela, Ray lost a lot of time when he was first injured."
"I know but he treats me like a second class citizen."
"Neela, hopefully this brief time apart will give him sometime to think, and be the Ray you love."
"Yeah, I guess"
"Neela, you don't look so sure."
"Abby, honestly I don't know if I want to make it work anymore."
"Neela you can not throw your marriage away because Ray is in a funk."
"I know Abby I should try and see at least for our children's sake."
"Children don't you mean child's sake."
"No I meant children."
I'm Pregnant."
