Cody pulled the truck to a stop in front of the old cabin and smiled when he saw Cam's SUV sitting there. He had known that she would come here. She'd always loved this old cabin and felt safe there. He walked up the rickety wooden steps and opened the door. He could hear her in the kitchen humming as she cooked. He stood there watching her for a minute and cleared his throat. She dropped the dish she had been holding and walked over smacking him in the shoulder.

"You are such an ass." She said. He laughed a little.

"What are you doing here?" he asked

"I could ask you the same thing." She said.

"I came to find you. Find out why you ran out on Matt like you did." She looked down at the floor. "He is a good guy Cam and he loves you."

"Just go back and tell him that I love him and that I'm okay. Go have a nice life with Linney and the baby." She said as she walked past him into the living room. He followed her and grabbed her arm turning her around to face him.

"I am going to go back and you're going to come with me. You and Linney need to talk this thing out. You both have things that you need to say to each other."

"She hates me Cody. She blames me for killing her baby and to be honest, I kinda blame myself. If I hadn't interfered, her baby would still be alive." She pulled away and sat down on the sofa.

Cody sighed and walked over to her. He sat down beside her and put his arm around her and pulled her into a hug.

"Cammie, you aren't responsible for that. Sometimes things happen that are sad. It's just how life is. There was a reason for that. It just wasn't meant to be."

"Do you really believe that?"

"I do. Cammie, things happen and you can't change them. Everything happens for a reason including bad stuff." He looked at her. "Matt loves you. Don't let something like this ruin what you have."

"The doctor said that Linney needs no stress. Me being near her will cause that."

"No, it won't. I want you there. I want you to be apart of my child's life. Cammie, you're my sister and I love you."

"I love you too Cody." She said.

"So, come back with me and work this out. You and Linney have to work things out."

Cam sighed and got up. She walked out the door to the porch. She leaned on the railing and looked out at the lake. Cody followed knowing she like to do that. He knew how much she loved Matt. She didn't want to end things but her being Cam was trying to do what she felt was right and it always seemed to be the opposite of what she should do.

"Matt loves you. He deserves to at least have you break up with him face to face." She still didn't say anything to him. "God, I hope Linney is having a boy. Girls are just too damn complicated." She turned to look at him smiling a little. "I need you there for me sis. Matt needs you there. And whether she wants to admit it or not, Linney needs you there. Don't make your niece or nephew grow up without you. I am going to need help explaining Goldust to the kid." She laughed.

"Alright. I will come back with you."

"I knew I could reason with you." He smiled.

"Oh yeah Mr. Dashing. And if that hadn't worked?"

"Simple, I would have thrown you over my shoulder like a sack of potatoes and hog tied you in the car." He smirked and ran out to the car with her close behind him.

Matt pulled up in the driveway of his house and walked over to open the door for his sister. She would be staying with him until Cody came back.

"Matt, we will fix this and get you and Cam back."

"I hope so. Linney, I know what happened between you two but it wasn't Cam's fault." He said as they sat down on the sofa. "I hope you mean it when you said you wanted to work it out with her."

"I did mean it. Matt, I know you love Cam. And I'm sorry for the way I acted."

"I do love her Linney, more than I ever thought I could love anyone." He took the engagment ring out of his pocket. The ring their mother gave him and told him to give to the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. "There isn't anyone else I want to have this ring but her."

Linney smiled and sighed at the same time. She realized now much her hatred had done. She had cost her brother, her only family, the woman he loved. Now she was determinded to help him get her back. She wanted her brother happy and she knew now that Cam made him happy and it wasn't a mistake.

"If you drive yourself back, you will come back right?" Cody asked as they stood by his truck and her SUV.

"Yes, I told you I would come and I will." She replied to him.

"Cammie, Matt loves you so much. You don't want to end this between you. I know you."

"I don't want it to end. But I just didn't want something to happen to Linney and me be blamed again."

He pulled his sister into a hug. "No matter what happens, it won't be your fault. You deserve to be happy no matter what anyone says. Now, let's go get you reengaged to that nerd you love."

"Hey." She said hitting him in the chest and laughing.

"Let's go." Cody got into his truck and waited.

Cam sighed and got into her SUV. She pulled out of the driveway and toward the road. She thought about what Cody had said. She didn't want to be without Matt. She loved him but she had left only leaving a note. Would he forgive her and still want her? Or had she ruined her chance with the man she loved. She decided that Cody was right. A fact she would hide from him. If she was ever going to be happy, she had to fight for it. And fighting for it meant working things out with Linney.

Linney smiled as Cody's truck pulled into the driveway. She sighed as se saw Cam's SUV pull in behind him. This was the moment of truth. And this had been a long time coming.
