Flashback - One Month Later.......................
"I am so tired." Sienna said as she and John got out of the car.
John smiled at his wife, then turned his gaze towards his daughter. "You're not the only one."
Sienna followed his look and smiled. Abby was passed out in her car seat, hugging her favorite stuffed animal, Hannah the Hamster, and her favorite blankie to her chest. As John slid their bags over his shoulders, Sienna reached into the car and lifted her daughter out of the seat and into her arms. Abby whimpered at the move, but quickly went back to sleep as Sienna rubbed her back in soothing circles.
John shut and locked the car, setting the alarm. Then, the two went inside the hotel to check in. As they stepped up to the front desk, the desk clerk smiled at the sight of the sleeping toddler. John took out his wallet and grabbed the credit card the reservation was under and turned to face the clerk.
"We have a reservation." he said. "Under Sienna Calloway."
The clerk typed in the name, bringing the reservation up on the computer. "A king with a crib?"
"That's us." John said. "Would it be possible to let my wife go ahead and go up with our daughter while I finish checking in?"
"Absolutely." the clerk said, passing a room key to Sienna. "Fourth floor, room 428."
Sienna smiled, slipping the key into her hand. "Thank you."
"I'll be right behind you, mama." John said, laying a quick kiss to Sienna's lips.
Sienna nodded and turned, moving to the elevators. As the doors closed, she gave another smile in the direction of her husband, then pressed the button for the fourth floor. Seconds later, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Sienna moved down the hallway, looking for her room, sighing in relief as she found it.
Sienna unlocked the door and went inside. Carefully, she moved forward until her knees hit the edge of the bed. Keeping her leg firmly against the bed, she followed the bed to the table beside it and turned on the small bedside lamp. As the room was dimly lit, Sienna laid Abby in the crib and covered her with the blanket.
Patting Abby's back a couple times, Sienna finally straightened and looked around the room. Finding the remote control, she grabbed it up and turned towards the television. Without turning it on, she set the remote back down and moved forward. There was a large bouquet of flowers sitting on top the dresser beside the television.
"Beautiful." She murmured as she looked at them.
Taking the card out of its holder, she opened it and read the message.
I am sorry for everything. Please forgive me.
A soft smile curled out onto Sienna's lips as she set the card down, shaking her head. Leaning forward, she inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers.
"Oh....John..." Sienna murmured.
"Oh John what?" John said coming into the room.
Sienna walked over to her husband as he dropped their bags on the floor and shut the door. Sliding her arms around his waist, she rose to her tip toes and kissed his lips.
"Thank you." She murmured. "They're beautiful. And yes, I forgive you."
John pulled back and looked at her in confusion. "Forgive me for what, Sienna?"
"For yelling at me earlier, of course." Sienna replied.
John's eyes narrowed. "You deserved all the so called yelling you got, Sienna."
At that Sienna's own eyes narrowed. "What?! John, I was gone for ten minutes!"
"The longest ten minutes of my life!" John spat back. "You should have taken one of the bodyguards with you. That's why we hired them."
"Hey....I'm not the target, John!" Sienna huffed. "I don't need the bodyguards. You do."
John fixed her with a cold stare. "It was your bike that was trashed, Sienna. Not mine."
"Nothing happened, John!" Sienna screeched. "I went out for ten minutes and came back FINE!"
"That's not the damn point and you know it!" John shouted back.
Any further words were stopped by the sudden crying of a tired two year old. Sienna and John had woken up Abby with their fighting. Closest to the crib, John went over and picked his daughter up. Rocking her back and forth in his arms, he turned back towards his wife. With a soft sigh, he moved towards the bed and sat down next to where Sienna had chosen to sit.
"Look....I know nothing happened this time." He said quietly. "But next time may be different."
"But it probably won't." Sienna argued.
John paused and looked at his wife. "I'm not willing to risk losing you on a probably, Sienna. I won't apologize for that."
"Well, then why did you?" Sienna asked, finally meeting his eyes.
"I didn't." John said.
"Yes, you did." Sienna countered him. "In the card."
John looked at her in confusion. "What card?"
"This card." Sienna said as she rose, grabbing it. "You know, the one that you sent with the flowers."
John put Abby back in the crib and took the card from Sienna's hands. Reading it, his eyes moved from the card to the flowers, then lifted to those of his wife's.
"Sienna..." He said softly. "I didn't send these."
