Finally and update!! Sorry all but my muse has been acting like a 13 yearold girl and locked herself in her room and wouldnt come out but with some major help from my friends at i-c she has finally jumped out and is now filling my head with ideas.

So to recap Betty and the Mode crew are in Tucson for a photo shoot and Henry has made decided to do everything he can to get Betty to stay and be with him but Betty is doing everything to stay away from him.

Thanks MAJOR to my friend Mary for helping me out ... your the best!! so everyone enjoy and leave comments ...lol.

Henry stood at the front desk the next morning starting his daily routine. 2 days had gone by and he tried everything to at least have a conversation with Betty but she of course was running every excuse in the book to avoid him with Christina by her side. Now sipping coffee and organizing files, also while trying to find away to talk to Betty he heard a small rattle behind him and the sound of his daughter starting to wake up. He put down his cup and walked over to pick her up. Daniel came running in the front of the lobby back from his morning run…

"Morning Henry … Oh and Henry's…daughter"

Henry gave a giggle "That's right you never really got a chance to see her… Daniel this is Lila … Lila this is Daniel." Henry held Lila facing Daniel. Daniel put his finger in Lila's hand and gave her a small hand shake. The men laugh together at how cute the scene was and then Daniel snapped back remembering why he came up to talk to Henry.

"Oh hey I actually had to talk to you about something."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah um I actually need some help some figures for the photo shoot aren't matching up and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind coming down to the photo shoot and taking a look at the books?" Daniel pulled back a little straitening up a little. "We'll pay you of course"

Henry popped his head up his mind running fast he didn't mind at all helping him out and he thought that this was his way to spend a little more time with betty..

"Yeah I could come down no problem"

"Thanks I mean this is really helping us out thank you… so yeah here's were the shoot is taking place and be there like one o'clock"

"Yeah Daniel no problem."

Daniel gave him one more nod then ran up the stairs. Henry turned Lila around so they were facing each other; he smiled and wiped a little spit from her lips….

Later that day while at the photo shoot Betty busy keeping things organized, Christina dressing models, Claire and Alexis at the computer and Daniel talking with the photographer about the point of view. Henry walked in and grew excited it was a little taste of New York madness he missed so much. Daniel looked up and yelled across the room.

"Hey Henry!!"

The name echoed through the room over the music and it made Betty stop dead in her tracks. Turning slowly she saw Daniel walking up to Henry then she ran to Christina.

"Do you know why Henry is here?" Christina popped up from behind a model confused

"What … huh …oh" Christina now getting the situation.

"Oh my god they're coming over here." Betty faced away "What should I …"

"Betty" She loved how he said her name, trying to hold back now she turned around facing him.

"Henry … Hi what are you doing here?"

"Well Daniel asked me to come down and go through some numbers and make sure everything is right on track."

Daniel then butted in out of nowhere in fact Betty had actually forgot he was standing there …

"Actually Betty can you get the files and help Henry out … thanks"

Before Betty could get out another word Daniel walked away toward the photographer. Now standing there in which seemed like an hour of silence passed as Betty stumbled to get through her words..

"Um … I … I'm going to go get those files"

"Uh yea … why don't you meet me in the back room and well get started." Henry said playing around with his briefcase.

Henry now nervous waiting for Betty it would be the first time actually being alone with her since she had been in Tucson.. He had 2 days to convince her to stay … to be with him to marry him … suddenly he heard the door open and Betty breezed through the door.

They didn't say much as they worked through the files. Henry trying to strike up some personal conversation but ounce again Betty put up her wall. Then all of a sudden Henry felt slightly enraged at the fact that they couldn't talk like they used to, that she wouldn't look at him the same … then he felt not like himself.

"Betty!" The energy that came through him frightened her for a second

"What … what is it what's wrong?" she said sifting through papers looking through the numbers expecting to find something wrong. Then the papers were ripped from her hands.

"There is nothing wrong with the numbers … its us." now looking straight into her eyes.

Betty felt her heart skip a beat at the sound of them together again but remembered it couldn't be true. Betty looked away trying not to engage in this …

" See … you wont even look at me" Henry said moving across the table and sat down right in front of her so that they were face to face " Betty we used to be able to talk we were best friends we were able to talk about anything and now I feel like were strangers again."

"Henry…" Betty said breathlessly " its too hard" she could feel tears welling up in her eyes" I know but it doesn't have to be …" Henry took Betty's hands in his she was looking straight in to his eyes once again her heart beating fast her, once again her palms were sweaty … " Betty … I still love you more than ever…"

Betty snapped back into reality tears falling down her cheeks

"WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY THESE THINGS?" Betty screamed as she stood up letting go of his hands. Henry now slightly stunned "Henry it took me so long to accept the fact that you were never going to be around again, I closed myself off to this and just when I'm starting to feel half way human again you come and just mess it all up!"

"It hasn't been easy for me either Betty!" Now both of them shouting at each other something completely out of character for the two. "I hurt too Betty; everything you went through I did to … Remember you were not the only one to get your heart broken!"

He now stood right to in front of Betty. She still crying and shaking both slightly still enraged. Then suddenly Betty just walked out of the room slamming the door. Henry stood motionless unsure what to do next ………
