Alexa opened her eyes slowly. She blinked a few times and looked around her room. A nurse walked into a room to check on her.

"You're awake." she sounded suprised

"Will you get my Mommy for me?"

"Yeah... of course." she left to call Dana. Within three minutes Dana walked into the room.

"Mommy?" Alexa whispered

"How are you feeling?" Dana asked

"Okay, I guess. I want to go home."

"Not yet, babe. You can go home tommarow."

"We're Daddy? I want Daddy."

"There is something I have to tell you, Alexa." Dana paused "Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be living togther anymore. Daddy's going to live somewhere else. "

"I don't understand."

"We're getting divorced, Honey. We're not going to be together anymore."

"I don't want you to..." Alexa was interupted

"I'm sorry." Dana whispered. Alexa begun crying.

"No." Alexa sobbed.
A few hours later. Jessica ran into Alexa's room.

"Hi." she said happily. "I brought you your favorite movie."

"Did mom tell you? "

"Tell me what?"

"About her and dad."

"No, why? "

"They're getting a dehorse." she exclaimed

"You mean a divorce?" Jessica corrected

"Yeah! She said that he was going to live somewhere else."

"I knew this would happen." Jessica yelled as she ran out of the room all the way to Dana's office. She was in her office with a patient, they were talking when Jessica ran in.

"I can't beleive you?" Jessica yelled "You lied."

"What are you talking about.?" Dana asked

"Alexa told me that you and Dad are getting divorced. You said your marriage was fine. You lied."

"Jess... I'm busy right now. We have to talk about this later."

"I wish you never found me. I wish Tim could have killed me. I wish..."

"Jessica." Dana raised her voice. "We'll talk about this when I get home."

"Don't be suprised if I'm not there." Jessica yelled and ran out. The patient looked blankly at Dana.

"Sorry about that." she apoligized.

"That's why you've been depressed. You're getting divorced!? I've been there, beleive me you'll be better off."

"I'm 26, with two children and a full time job. I can't possibly be better off without a husband."

"26?! I was 37, but if you're 26 with two kids consider your life over."

"Really?"

"No! I'm being sarcastic. If your 26 you'll be able to find a Goerge Cloony type rebound within a week."

"I don't want a rebound I want my husband." Dana whined

"All's fair in Love and War. If you want him that back then don't file for divorce."

"I already did, this morning."

"Don't sign the paper. Or get him to sleep with you." she explained

"What?"

"Get him to want you. Show him what he's leaving behind. If that doesn't get him to break in, nothing will." as she finshed speaking Nick walked in.

"One of your patients is in the ER. She thinks she having a miscarrige but she's not pregnant. She's waiting for you." he left.

"He's hot! The two of you would look adorable togther. He would make a nice rebound."

"He's my husband." Dana informed

"Oh... that's not good. Can I call him if things don't work out?"
The day passed slowly. Dana got home hoping to go straight to the bath tub. She opened the door and none other then Jessica was standing infront of it.

"Where have you been, it's almost 7!" Jessica questioned

"I'm really tired Jessica, I've been up for 30 straight hours. I'm not in a good mood."

"You said we'd talk about it."

"What do you want to talk about?" she raised her voice. Annabell joined them. "Your father and I are getting divorced. You can live with him or me. It's your choice. He moved out a couple of days ago, and he's not coming back."

"So you don't care about what Alexa and I have to say?"

"Honestly, no I don't. It's my life, and my marriage and I can end either one whenever I damn well please. And I don't need my children's approval to do it."

"I don't think you should have said that to your child." Annabell thought Meanwhile: Nick got home (his parents' house). He went into his room locked the door and collapsed on his bed. He turned the TV. FRIENDS was on. He and Dana watched that while dating and at the begining of thier marriage. It was the episode where Joey got his head stuck up a Turkey. Nick had proposed to Dana on the day that episode origanly aired. It was a commercail brake when he did it. Meanwhile Dana was in watching the same exact thing. The screen faded, a commercail started. Nick got up and got into his car. He drove to his estate and parked in the driveway. He ran to the front door and twisted the knob, the door was locked. After mintues of knocking he gave up. He ran to the back of the house and climbed up the rain gutter. Half way up he saw that the bedroom window was open. He climb a little higher and went in through the window.

"Nick." Dana yelled "What the hell are you doing?"

"I..um. I was watching Friends and it was the one where Joey's head was up the Turkey's ass."

"I know. I'm watching it."

"Anyway. I proposed to you during that episode and I had to come here..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I was being selfish, Dana. You're trying to be wonder woman. I mean your at work all day, you get home and you're taking care of the kids... and me. And somehow you maintain your sanity. I was being selfish.. asking you to pay more attenion to me. You have every right to be mad at me. But I love you, and I can't live without you. You were right I'm not 18 anymore, I have a family and I have to be responsible."

"What do you want me to say? Do you expect me to forget everything, forgive you? Then I'll get weak and fall into your arms, start crying and everything will better."

"Come on Dana. This isn't the Parent's Trap. You're not going to get weak, or forget everything that happened. But you should consider forgiving and then making love to me." he expressed, Dana giggled

"I'm not going to make love to you."

"I don't understand. Are we back togther or not?"

"I don't know!"

"Dana, come on. I love you. I'd do anything for you. I made a stupid mistake, and I need you to forgive me. Please..."

"Don't beg. It reminds me of my brother and I don't want to think of my brother while doing it with my husband." as she finished her statment he pushed her onto the bed and kissed her. Almost one minute later her mother walked in.

"Dana?!" she yelled, Dana pulled the covers over her bare chest. "My eyes, it burns. I just saw my daughter having... You don't have to be naked to you knwo. And if you are, you can at least cover yourself."

"Mother, you can knock before you come in." Dana inturupted

"Plus, you're not a law official with a search warrant" Nick added "and even if you were and you did I wouldn't bother getting up cause I'm naky."

"Weren't you... aren't you. What happen to the divorce?"

"Nothing happened to divorce. It's just not something we want to consider.."
