Jo sat with Tyler for a while longer and the pair stayed together as Tyler comforted his Mother.
There was a knock at the door, causing Tyler to separate from Jo and go and answer the door. He opened the door and was greeted by Mac. He stood there silently waiting for Tyler to invite him in.
"What do you want"? Tyler asked bitterly.
Judging by Tyler's tone of voice and by the evil stare he was receiving from the young lad, Mac could tell Tyler knew what he had done.
"I've come to apologise, where's your Mom?" Mac asked, hoping for Tyler to let him see Jo.
"Mac you've been a total Jerk and now you come back here as if nothing ever happened." Tyler yelled, angry at him for leaving his Mom the way he did.
"What's all the shouting about?" Jo asked, emerging behind Tyler.
"Jo I'm so sorry", Mac explained. "Look, let me just talk to you, somewhere in private?" He suggested.
"Tyler will you give us a minute?" Jo asked.
Tyler sighed and nodded, leaving his Mom and Mac standing in the kitchen.
"I'm sorry, I acted totally stupid and I had no right leaving you the way I did", He explained.
"We've been through so much this year and I guess out of all the things that have happened, you getting pregnant was not one of them that I thought would", He said, trying to get her to understand how he felt.
"I'm not exactly thrilled about it either" She replied.
"I guess moving to New York, Nearly getting Shot, Tyler being arrested, getting sexually assaulted by Russ and now being Pregnant, I can definitely say that this year has been extremely tough".
He nodded. "I wish I could have made everything better". He said, thinking about the ordeal she had endured of the last twelve months.
"I know you would have", she smiled.
"I'm taking you never told Tyler about what Russ did", Mac asked.
"No, I don't want him to think of his father like that". She explained.
"Your too kind", Mac stated.
"I guess I always see the good in people", Jo explained.
Jo stopped and placed her hand to her stomach.
"What is it, is something wrong with the baby?" Mac asked, concerned by her sudden gesture.
"No, it's kicking Mac," She placed his hand on her small bump and watched as a huge smile spread across his face.
"Our baby", he smiled…
