It had been a week since London. Nancy was staying in her and Frank's house by herself. Frank and Elizabeth were now staying with Joe and Anna. Almost everything was back to normal except for Nancy and Frank. She would visit Elizabeth but was stand offish with everyone else.

Anna was sitting on the patio and Kendall was playing in the grass. She turned to Joe who was walking through the sliding glass door, "hi honey." He smiled and bent over kissing her, "how are you feeling?"

"I feel okay." She responded while glancing at Kendall who was blowing dandelions. Joe sat down beside her, "remember the doctor told you to try to take it easy to prevent bed rest."

Anna smiled trying not to roll her eyes, "I know, honey. I am. Where is Frank?"

"He went to the office. Nancy has Elizabeth for the afternoon."

Her mouthed formed a small O as she nodded. Kendall came bouncing towards them and handed Joe a dandelion. He grabbed the dandelion and kissed his daughter's head, "thank you sweetie." She smiled and clapped her hands and went over to her sandbox. Anna smiled at Joe, "you are such a good dad."

"I try to be."

"You are. So I was thinking that maybe we should consider buying a new house."

Joe raised his eyebrow and looked into his wife's eyes. "Baby, what do you mean? Why?"

She smiled at her husband and handed him her IPad, "I drew some sketches. I want to build a bigger house, more room for our offspring." Joe studied the sketches, "looks like it would be huge."

"I also thought we could build a house near ours for Biff and George, a wedding present."

Joe smiled and nodded, "if this is what you want, we will find some land and begin." She jumped up and kissed her husband sitting on his lap, "already found land and it's only ten minutes away. Oh Joe, we can build play houses for the kids, and maybe a guest house. That way if Frank needs to stay with us he can have his own space."

Joe held her tight. This woman amazed him in so many ways, "do you realize how amazing you are?" She gave him a questioning look and he kissed her continuing, "you have literally taken my brother as your own. You have the biggest loving heart." She smiled and kissed him passionately.

Frank walked through his brother's house looking to see where everyone was. He passed the sliding glass door and saw them outside. He watched them for a moment and his heart broke. He should have this with Nancy right now, but she couldn't even stand the sight of him. He sighed and decided to walk away. He couldn't deal with them right now.

Nancy knocked on the red front door and within minutes it was open. Anna smiled at her, "Hi Nan. Come in." Nancy frowned and shot her a glare, "No, thanks. I was dropping Elizabeth back off."

Anna opened the door and Nancy pushed in her stroller. She bent down kissing her daughter on her head, "I will see you tomorrow, Lizzy. Love you." She stood back up and turned to leave. Anna quickly put her hand on her cousin's arm, "Nan, please."

She turned around and spat out, "don't. This is your fault. You have been trouble since I first met you. I'm tired of always being there for you."

"Nan, how can you say that? We are best friends, sisters, and cousins."

"That doesn't mean anything anymore."

"You can't even give me a reason why you are doing this."

"Something bad always happens to this family and I don't want to be a part of it anymore."

"But you love Frank."

"I was alone for about a month. I didn't know if my daughter was safe and even though I was sure she was, I still didn't know if I would ever see her. You took time away from me that I could have had with my daughter."

"Now you are losing more time."

"Shut up. I will get custody of my daughter and maybe finally leave this place."

"Nancy, we all love you. You can't do this."

Nancy didn't say another word as she turned and walked away from Anna, but she was almost walking away from her old life. Nancy sighed as she got into her car, this isn't how she wanted things to be but she had no choice. She felt so many emotions and she was so anger at them for taking so long to get to her. She didn't know if she could ever forgive them.

Joe walked into the study and found Frank sitting there looking through one of Anna's many scrapbooks, full of photos and memories. "Frank, maybe you need to force Nancy into talking to someone."

Frank looked up at his brother with bloodshot eyes and tear stains on his cheeks, "I tried. She said she would consider it. Carson is also trying." Joe nodded and sat down near him, "have you and Nancy talked about anything?"

"She is going to have the house and I guess I will find a place. I'm still hoping she will come around. She served me with divorce papers."

"What?"

"Yup," Frank said and popping his p. It had crushed him when Nancy had someone deliver the papers to him a few days ago.

"I'm sorry. What are you going to do?"

"I'm starting to think that I have to face the face that maybe Nancy and I will no longer be together."

"Frank, you have to fight."

"I never plan on giving up on her, regardless of a divorce or not. I will always fight to win her back."

"Frank, you don't need to look for a place. You will stay with us."

"Joe, I can't live here forever."

"We are building a new house, and you can or we will build you a small house on the land."

Frank smiled at his brother and nodded his thanks at him. As much as Frank had put Joe through he knew that Joe and Anna would never turn their back on him. Now, he just needed to get Nancy back.
