Sorry for the delay, a lot of stuff has been happening lately, but luckily I found somewhere to update this story. Please, please, PLEASE leave your reviews for past, present, and future chapters.

Dylan's eyes opened and she quickly stood up. She looked around to see if anything in her bedroom had changed, or that if yesterday was a dream. When she turned to look at the other side of her, there she saw Phil sleeping. She still couldn't fathom what happened yesterday. Was it all a dream? Did she dream it all? Or did Phil really hide himself to protect her and their 4 year old son? She couldn't know because he was still asleep. Maybe I dreamt it all, she thought to herself. she looked at Phil as she quietly moved out of her side of the bed and looked down. Well one thing is for sure she was definitely pregnant, she was showing a lot. That gave her a little bit of sanity. "Don't worry, baby" Dylan said softly as she rubbed her belly. "Soon you'll be here and we'll be a happy family"

Then, she quietly left the room and she went down to the kitchen to grab something to eat. She was in the fridge getting a cookies and cream cup when she looked at the time; 9:47 am. "Phil should be up any minute now" Dylan said to herself. She sat down on the couch, opened her cookies and cream cup and turned on the TV. She was watching re runs of 'The Walking Dead' when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She looked over her shoulder and she saw Phil coming down the stairs, wearing nothing but black basketball shorts. She looked at her hand and she saw that she still had her wedding ring, which was a princess cut 14k diamond ring, on. She then looked at Phil and saw that he had on his wedding ring. He smiled at Dylan and he said "Morning honey"

She gave him a small smile and she said "How did you sleep?"

Phil let out a sigh and he said with a chuckle "It's better than sleeping on a lumpy motel bed"

So yesterday wasn't a dream, Dylan thought to herself. Then, he made his way to the bed and he said to her "Walking Dead?"

"Me and Raelynn wanted to watch it" Dylan said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Raelynn? What happened to Johnnie?" Phil asked, thrown off at the sudden change of his daughter's name. "She still has Quinn as her middle name," Dylan reassured her husband. "But I kind of outgrew the name 'Johnnie'"

Phil nodded his head and he said "So, Raelynn Quinn Brooks" testing out the name. Dylan smiled and he said "I love it"

"Thank you," Dylan said. "Jon helped me decide on that name"

Phil froze in his seat and he looked at Dylan and he said "Jon? As in Jonathan Good?"

Dylan slowly nodded her head and she said "He's been here helping me with Elijah"

"Yeah well I didn't think he would be the one changing our daughter's name while I was gone" Phil said still stunned

"You were the one that had the name list for her," Dylan said matter-of-factly. Phil gave her a puzzled look and he said "I did?"

Dylan went to the kitchen draw and she found Phil's baby name list. She grabbed it, closed the draw and went to Phil and handed it to him. He opened the folded piece of paper and he saw all the names that he indeed wrote out ALL of the names. "Oh," he said. Then, he looked up at his pregnant wife and he said "I'm sorry"

Dylan's eyes widened and she said "You're sorry?! Phil, you had me believe that YOU WERE DEAD! I was devastated! I'm fucking 9 months pregnant and I was scared of raising our two kids alone! I thought I lost the one man in my life that I loved more that anything else in this world! You stayed away from me AND your son for 3 fricken months, Phil! And now you pop back up yesterday and say 'Hey honey I'm home! Sorry I was so late I faked my own death'. Elijah was wearing your t-shirt for 3 weeks he missed you so much! I was wearing your Rancid sweatshirt from the day you died up until today I was so heartbroken!"

Then, before she could say another word she broke down in tears. Phil saw how much his actions had hurt his family, the ONE thing he never wanted to do. He stood up and he hugged Dylan tightly as he felt tears coming down his face. He stroked her head as they both cried. Then, he pulled away and held onto her shoulders and he looked her dead in her big, brown, almond shaped eyes and he said "Dylan, I meant it when I said I'm sorry. I did it to protect you, Elijah, and Raelynn. I didn't think how it would affect you or our son at the time. But now I see how much I hurt you and that a mistake I am NEVER making again. I love you so much Dylan, and I will do anything for you and our son. I see the error of my ways, and I'm not going anywhere. I promise"

When Phil says 'I promise', Dylan knew he always meant it. So, she nodded her head and they just hugged for as long as they could. Then, they both heard Elijah running down the stairs. "Dad! Can we go outside?" the little boy asked.

"Bud it's too early to go anywhere" Phil said, not knowing that 2 hours had passed.

"Dad, look at the clock" Elijah said and he pointed to the wall clock. Phil and Dylan looked up and they saw that the time read 11:15 am. "Oh" Phil said. Then, he looked at Elijah and he said "Why don't I take you and your mom out for breakfast?"

"Denny's?" Dylan asked. Phil looked at Dylan and he nodded his head 'yes'. He knew that when it was time for the baby to be born, Denny's was the place to be. So, he told his son to put on sneakers and get dressed and then they'd be off for some family bonding time after 3 months of the father being away.
