Ray left Abby's heartbroken, he could not believe it. Neela actually doesn't want him anymore. He returned back to the apartment, and once again felt the way he did when Neela first moved out of their place when she was married to Michael. He saw that the answering machine had some messages on it so he went to check it. Jasmine had called from England. It must have been early in the morning there when she called wanting to talk to her mommy. Listening to her sweet voice Ray knew he could not let the life he built with Neela end this easily. Ray was determined he was not going to let Neela push him out of her life anymore.

The next day Ray called Abby's very early.

"Hey Abby its Ray how is Neela doing?"

"She is still asleep. I heard her crying last night. She still thinks you cheated on her."

"Yeah well I am going to prove to her I didn't."

"How are you going to do that?"

"Just watch and see."

"Well I have a shift now so she'll be home alone; I left an extra key under the floor mat if you need it. But, don't tell her I did she'll kill me. I have to go now."

"Abby don't wake her."

"Okay, I won't."

Ray rushed over to Abby's and entered into the apartment Neela was still in bed asleep.

He raced around the house getting things ready for her when she woke up.

He was finished as soon as she woke up. He sneaked back out the apartment before she even noticed he was there.

When Neela woke up, she walked into the living room. She found flowers all over the house, she was in shock. All her favorites, all the flowers that she had growing in her garden in Baton Rouge. She also found a stack of her favorite pancakes she smiled as she saw Ray's famous fluffy cakes. She remembered everytime they would have an argument he would make her his pancakes to apologize to her.

She stood there shaking her head.

"How did Ray do this, where is Abby?"

There was a little note left on the table with her name on it she read what was in the note and started to cry.

Dear Neela,

Once before I let you push me out of your life, and paid the price later. I promised myself I would never let it happen again, I will prove to you that you are all I want and need in this world. I know you are still mad at me but, I will have you back in my life, this I promise you.

I love you forever and a day.

Ray

"Oh my god why did he do all of this for me? No Neela snap out of it does not excuse what he did. But this is so sweet. How did he get in the apartment anyways? Abby, I'm going to kill her."

At that moment the baby started to move.

"Okay little guy, I guess your hungry, let's go see what your father did, even though he is an asshole right now. Scratch that you didn't here that. He is still a good father; well he was being a good husband too, especially while mommy was in the hospital, god Ray why did you do this to us? Let's go eat little one."
