**Thank you everyone for being so patient with me. I know that the updates to this story have been slow, but I'm working on it! Please read and review!**

Amanda opened the bathroom door finally. She stood there in the doorway in a beautiful blue dress and silver high heels. Her hair and make-up were nicely done as well.

Randy looked very nice in his black, button-down shirt and black dress pants with a gray tie. He smiled and whistled at her, "Wow Amanda, you look great."

"You're pretty handsome yourself. But don't let it get to your head." She replied.

"Let's go so we're not late." Randy said holding his arm out to her.

She accepted it and they walked to the car.

At the restaurant, they ordered dinner and began to talk about rehab and then about Brandon. Finally Randy looked over at Amanda, "Amanda, I'm serious. I think I'm ready to leave rehab and focus on getting my life back in order."

Amanda shook her head, "I don't know Randy…I just worry that you're going to get hurt or stressed out and wind up falling off the wagon again. You're relationship with Brandon depends on you being one hundred percent. You can't jump in and out of his life."

Randy nodded, "I'm aware of that and I plan on being just that. Trust me." He looked her in the eyes, "Amanda, I swear to you. I'm clean, sober and ready to take control of my life."

"Randy, I'm not your wife anymore. I can't tell you what to do or when to do it. But what I will tell you is that so help me if you EVER come to see Brandon and you are under the influence of anything so help me God, you'll never see your son again. Now if you think that dropping out of rehab right now is going to be a good idea then you make your bed but you'll also lie in it." Amanda replied sternly.

Randy nodded, "I understand that. I'm going to think about it. I'm not going to make the decision on my own. I'm going to talk to Mom and Dad and I have to run it by Vince anyways, I don't know if I'm allowed to. And I'll probably talk to my main counselor and see what she thinks."

"Good, I just don't want you to make the decision on a whim."

After dinner, Amanda drove Randy back to the facility. She brought him in and the staff handed him a cup and sent him to the bathroom to give them a urine sample.

When he returned he gave Amanda a big hug. "Thanks for coming and visiting me. It means a lot to me."

Amanda nodded and hugged him back, "No problem. I'm glad you're doing so well."

"Give Brandon lots of love from me." Randy said as he squeezed her hand.

Amanda nodded, "I will. I'll stop back in the morning before I head back. Good night Randy."

Randy waved, "Good night Amanda."

And the two headed their separate ways.

The Next Morning…

Amanda went back and visited Randy one more time as she had promised. Randy came out, "Thanks again Amanda. I'm in the process of figuring everything out and I'll let you know."

She nodded, "Just, take your time. Work on getting yourself better. The rest will come in due time."

He hugged her tightly, "It really means a lot to me that you did this. And I will take everything in consideration.

"Thank you for everything. Brandon is going to love the iPad. And I'm sure your mom and dad will tell you all about how he did this weekend. I'll text you when we get home to let you know we got back safely."

"No problem, I'm glad I could get him something that he'll like." Randy replied.

Amanda walked out to the car and left. Randy headed off for his meeting with his counselor. He had a lot to talk to everyone about. He was on a mission…to get out of rehab and work on getting his life back in order.

**What do you think? Is Vince going to be so willing to let Randy off the hook? Or his counselor? And does Randy really know what he's attempting to jump into? PLEASE read and review!**
