Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the delay! I was just extremely stuck on this chapter. But I hope you enjoy.

"Did you think of anything yet?" Frankie said lying down next to Maura as he turned to face her.

"Nope." She sighed. "Not a thing."

He put a hand on her stomach and leaned in closer. Close enough to see the freckle on her nose. Something that hardly no one saw if they weren't this close to her.

"Well I have an idea. Why don't we.. You know." He said taking his finger and moving it in a circular motion. He leaned in to kiss her but was stopped by her index finger.

"No because sex is what got us into this mess in the first place."

"But sex is what gave me the realization to be with you."

Maura could've sworn she was about to slap him until she realized that his intentions were all but bad.

"I promise that sounded better in my head." He said turning slightly pink. "But really, it gave me the courage to come back for you. So why don't we just cherish it?" He pronounced leaning in for a kiss. But once again, was stopped by Maura's hands against his lips.

"As soon as one of us comes up with a decent idea, we can have sex." She removed her hand and pecked his lips. She pulled back and looked into his hazel eyes.

Oh crap.. No Maura. No. You will not give into this. You can do it. She thought to herself. She wanted to rip his clothes off as much as he did to her. An innocent smile grew upon his face.

"Stop looking at me like that!"

"I'm just looking at you. I can't help but smile because you're so beautiful." He said with such honesty.

"You're not like anybody else Maura. Why don't I just go and tell her the truth and then we'll see what happens. We both know what happens when you lie."

She blushed a little at thought of her hives.

"I know but "Oh Hey Claire. Maura's not really pregnant. I just said that because I love her more." Won't go over as well as you think it will." She said in a sassy tone. "Honestly speaking, it wasn't going to work out. I was just so tired of waiting around. I moved way too fast for this." He paused looking into her eyes. The eyes that he could get lost in almost every time he looked into them. "I knew from the moment I started dating her that it didn't feel right. I felt better when I was with you but I just denied it all. I didn't think that I actually deserved you. So I just gave up.. I promise you that I didn't know about how you felt."

She sat up and straddled his hips. Her hands on his shoulders looking down at him. Hair falling across his face. "I love you." She let out slowly as she pressed her lips against his.

:) :) :) :)

"So the whore isn't pregnant?" Blurted out Clare.

"She's not a whore." Frankie stated. He hated the fact that he had to do this alone. But he was the one who put himself in this spot the first place.

"You lied to me.."

He sat there in the middle of the coffee shop. Ashamed of himself. He has never told a lie to her during the course of their relationship. He tried not to lie at all really. It didn't feel right to him. He felt that liars deserved whatever bad had happened to them except for murder and rape. He prided himself on being an honest person, especially during their relationship.

"I.. I didn't want to. I didn't and you have to believe me." He said reaching his hand for hers. But she saw this coming and moved her hand to her lap. "I wanted an out and you wouldn't give it to me. You kept on insisting."

"BECAUSE I LOVED YOU." She said before she realized how loud she actually was. "I was in love with you. I told you everything is to know about me. I even told you about the attack." She said with tears forming in her eyes. She looked away so he couldn't see them.

That last sentence stuck in his head like the way his mothers rules did when he was little. The attack was not something she told just anyone and he knew it. Her parents even told him that she has never shared the story with anyone before.

Two years before they met, she was living by herself in New York in a very small apartment. Her job wasn't stable. Causing her to jump from job to job.. One night, after a very long and tiring interview, she came home to find the apartment door had already been open. She walked in not thinking about the possibilities.

She walked into the kitchen and found a broken dish on the floor. She slowly traveled over it but didn't realize the huge figure standing behind her. He grabbed her from behind and raped her that night.

No one was able to find him because Clare hadn't seen his face and he used a condom so any trace of him was gone.

For one year, Clare couldn't come out of her house without feeling fear. So she moved to Boston with her parents and met Frankie there.

"I know and I am so unbelievably sorry. I-"

"Save it. I don't want to hear it. I packed my things up and I'll be out by tomorrow. Goodbye Frankie." She said as she got up to leave the coffee shop.

He sat there. Alone. A big sigh of relieve came over him as he realized that all the drama was finally over.
