Things are going to get worse before they get better.

"So was it just me, or were the kids acting a bit weird in there?" Elizabeth asked looking at Henry.

"Yeah I noticed something off also, but lets not worry about that now. I have you to myself for a few hours, hopefully anyway, lets just enjoy the time together. We have enough to deal with due to this mess with Russia, lets not let the kids worry us also." Henry quipped back at her.

"You're right Henry, lets just relax a little while we still can." Elizabeth agreed leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek. She knew this trip would not be relaxing at all. There was to much at stake with Russia, between trying to get Dimitri out safely and getting Maria Ostrova to agree to any kind of deal, her work was cut out for her. Now she had to worry about Henry also, and if something didn't go right with Dimitris extraction and pick up, she knows he would blame himself.

Checking into the hotel room they had about an hour and a half to freshen up from the flight before she had to go meet up with President Dalton and Jay to iron out the last few items before bringing it to the attention of Russia and Ukraine. Henry had to go meet with Jane so they could discuss the process and logistics of picking up Dimitri.

He stood there staring at his stunning wife, she was busy fluttering around getting papers ready and trying to decide which suit would be the best to wear. How did he ever get so lucky to have her in his life he wondered. He walked over to her, pulling her into his arms, he needed to feel her body against his even if just for a brief moment.

"Henry, what are you doing?! I have so much to do and not a whole lot of time." she stressed to him.

"Baby, I know you don't, but I needed to have you in my arms. I'm so very happy to be able to be here to get Dimitri back, and you have so much to do with that. If you hadn't scheduled this meeting here in Switzerland, we most likely wouldn't be getting him back. So thank you for that." He said bending down to kiss her with so much passion it actually took him by surprise.

"On second thought, we have about an hour until we have to meet Dalton, I think we should make the most of it." she said to him coyly.

Moving to the beating of their hearts, and a hint of nervous energy between them, they had a quick, passionate, yet needy session of love making.

"That was wow! Thank you babe, I do believe we both were in need of the release we just gave to each other." Henry said to her.

"I agree, thank you!" she said, giving him another quick, passionate kiss before returning to her previous fumbling with papers and clothes. "Now I really need to get ready, but thanks to you, my nerves are a little more at ease."

Unknown to both of them, their world was about to crumble yet again.

Elizabeth knew that what Dalton was offering was going to crush Henry. She really didn't want to agree to this deal, but had not other option. She would have to face the music with her husband, and she was not ready to deal with that.

"Jane! What is going on?! We can't just leave him there! Who are those people?!" Henrys questions were coming out faster than he could process them. What the hell just happened?! If Jane wouldn't talk to me, Elizabeth might have some knowledge of whats going on.

He confronted her alright, he couldn't believe that his own wife, and former CIA analyst, would be so willing to give up one of their own assets. Nor could he fathom how the President could agree to do such a thing, they both had been at the CIA together, they knew better than this. Henry was so livid when she admitted to not having any other option than to agree with the plan, he stormed out of their hotel room to go find Dalton himself. He had noticed the grief and sadness in Elizabeths eyes, but he didn't even want to look at her, he just couldn't, so he ran.

She stood there in shock as Henry stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. He had every right to be angry with her, but she was worried that this might be the final straw to whatever this wedge was between them. She had to fix this somehow, but how?

Hours later Henry finally returned to their room and informed her that he was leaving, going back home, he really didn't want to be on the same plane with her and Dalton, let alone the same room as her at the moment. He needed to be alone, needed time to think about what just happened. and he couldn't do that being around her. She had betrayed him.

She sat there watching as he gathered his luggage not saying a word to her. It was killing her to see him like this, she never intended for this to happen, and now she was paying the price. His movements were stiff and guarded, clearly furious at her. She wanted so badly to walk over to him and hold him, but knew there was no way he would let her touch him, he wouldn't even look at her. "Henry, please look at me." she pleaded, a teary desperation in her voice. "You know I don't make easy decisions, I am as torn over this as you are.." she tried.

"Elizabeth, please stop talking. I really don't have any interest in what you have to say at the moment. What you did is done, and now you will have to live with the consequences." He hissed back at her, trying to control the rage building up inside. He was not a violent man, but things have been building up lately and there was no telling what might happen if he let loose. He was afraid of hurting her, so instead of trying to talk to her, he shut her down completely. With those words he left.

It was needless to say Elizabeth didn't sleep at all that night, instead she laid awake going over the words Henry hissed at her before walking out. She had not cried this much in a long time, at least not over her husband. They never left each other that angry, and always said "I love you" no matter the fight they were having. This was different, this scared her to no end, and there was no way she was going to let this one decision, which she truly had no option not to go along with, destroy their loving successful marriage.
