Maya's POV

Two days pass before Lexi is back to her old self, and I am so happy that she is feeling better. She's still not eating as much as we would like her to, but Cam's mom tells us that she'll eat when she's hungry.

I ask Cam how he feels about cutting the trip a bit short, and he dismisses the idea instantly.

"I barely get to see my family, and we cleared our schedules to visit for the week. I want to stay." He says kind of annoyed that I asked. "I'm sorry for mentioning it. I just don't want Lexi getting anyone else sick." I defend myself with my hands up.

"I understand that, but you get to see your family all the time, and I'm limited to maybe seeing mine once a year. I don't want to lose any of the time I get to see them even if Lexi was sick. She's getting better, and I just want to stay." He says irritated.

"Okay… jeez… Calm down." I add kind of getting upset that he got so angry over something so stupid. I know he doesn't see them that often, but that's his fault just as much as it is mine. His career doesn't exactly allow him to leave Toronto unless he is going somewhere for a game, and I don't have an issue with coming to visit whenever he has time.

"I'm going to hang out with Justin and Chase for a couple of hours. Would you like to join us? I'm sure my mom will watch Lex." He says in a brighter and happier tone.

"Um… I don't know. Let me think about it. You were kind of just really mean to me." I say surprised that he turned around so fast.

"Maya, you know I didn't try to be a douche. I just would like to spend time with my family, and I feel like you don't want me to." He adds trying to apologize.

"When have I ever had an issue with you spending time with your family?" I ask accusingly.

"I don't know Maya. Never mind. I don't want to fight about this." He says obviously having more to fight about.

"Oh my god, Just tell me when it seemed like I didn't want you to see your family?" I snap harshly.

He shakes his head wanting me to stop, but I am really curious. "When?" I yell.

"Maya, I am not going to argue about this here. Lexi and my parents are downstairs. My brother is right next door, and Audrey is down the hall. Just let it go!" he says through gritted teeth. It kind of angers me more when he tries to act like I started this. He is the one who is accusing me of keeping him from his family.

"I really want you to tell me!" I yell at him a little more loudly.

"Fine… Well, for starters… at our wedding, you didn't want my mom to be involved!" he yells at back at me. "And, when I wanted to come here for Lexi's first Christmas you said you didn't it was a good idea! And I can tell that you get annoyed with me when I bring up anything about Chase and Justin coming to visit!" he shouts angrily.

I glare at his angry expression. "Your mother hates me! Lexi was a too young for the drive here, and I don't get annoyed when you bring up your brothers visiting! Sometimes they are just a bit obnoxious!" I scream forgetting where we are as well as who could be listening.

The door opens abruptly, and Audrey is standing there in shock. "Quiet yourselves! Everyone can hear you!" she says looking at me more so than Cam.

My jaw drops at the fact that that includes Jeanne, Chase, and Justin. "I can't believe I just said that." I say as tears start erupting from my eyes.

"Maya, Come with me!" she grabs my hand and pulls me into her room quickly.

Once she shuts the door to her room I start breaking down.

"Everyone is going to hate me even more!" I let out through my sobs, and Audrey wraps her arms around me sympathetically.

"Look on the bright side. You didn't say anything about me, Mickey, or my dad. And I could never hate you! You are the closest thing I have to a big sister!" she says trying to comfort me.

"I just want to crawl into a corner and die!" I say plopping down onto her bed. She looks at me sympathetically. "Well at least what you said was true. My mom does hate you, and Justin and Chase are the most obnoxious people on the face of the earth." She adds trying to comfort me, but not really helping.

"Cam is probably going to leave me after this." I cry covering my face with my hands.

"No way! Maya, he loves you and Lexi more than anything else. Everyone argues from time to time. Don't worry!" she hugs me.

I keep crying, and she keeps comforting until I am all cried out. "I should probably go apologize." I mention getting up from her bed.

"You want me to go with you?" she asks nicely, and I nod. "Thank you Audrey."

We head down the stairs where everyone was in the living room talking to Cam with the exception of Mickey. "Hi" I say nervously standing in front of them all as Audrey has her hand on my shoulder to let me know that she's there.

"I am so sorry for what I said. I didn't mean it. Justin, Chase you guys aren't obnoxious, and you are more than welcome to come visit us whenever you want. And Jeanne, I'm sorry!" I say anxiously.

Chase gets up off of the couch, and I have no idea what he is going to do until he gives me a hug. "It's okay Maya! I know I'm obnoxious, and we're family. Don't worry about it!"

"No. I really am so sorry. I didn't mean it." I say as he sits back down.

"I don't hate you Maya. I'm sorry if it seems that way. I really don't mean for it to." Jeanne says from her seat on the couch. "I'll try my best not to be so hard on you." She adds with a grin.

I smile back at her sadly and nervously before I glance at Cam who like the rest of his family is watching me from the couch. He looks a little more pissed than the rest of them, and I really am worried that he's going to hate me forever.

"Cam!" Audrey says demandingly and he looks at her questioningly. She doesn't say anything, but I am positive that she made a gesture or mouthed something because he stood up, and shook his head before going upstairs.

I take a deep breath before walking up the stairs to talk to him.

Cam's POV

I am really irritated with Maya. I told her that I didn't want to fight, and that she should just drop it, but she didn't. She made me say it, and then she said something that she regrets.

Audrey mouthed for me to hug Maya after her apology, but 'm not quite ready to forgive her. My family may have been, but I know that she hates coming to visit Kapuskasing. It's obvious. It's just such a bother for her, and I am sick of it.

We spend time with her family on a weekly basis, and I never say anything. Her father is very hostile toward me, but do I complain about having to see him… no because I love Maya, and I know it's important to her to see them.

Maya comes into the room, and I stare at her expectantly. I know that she's here to beg for forgiveness and to apologize for what she said, but I don't know if I'm ready to accept it quite yet.

"I'm so sorry." She cries. Letting tears come from her eyes. I look away from her face because seeing her cry makes me soft, and I don't want to be right now.

"Cam, can you please say something." She continues to sob. "What do you want me to say?" I ask in a harsh tone.

"Anything! That you forgive me maybe." She adds trying to wipe away her tears.

"I don't know yet Maya." I respond, and she looks at me sadly.

"Do you hate me? I really don't mean to seem like I don't want to be here. I do! I love you and your family!" she says apologetically sitting next to me on the bed trying to grab my hand.

I pull my hand away. "I don't hate you!" I say getting up from the bed and walking out of the room. I go downstairs, grab my jacket, and ask "Are we still going out?" before they get up and follow me out confused.

Maya's POV

I hang out with Audrey and Lexi all day long. Audrey helps get my mind off of the fight I had with Cam earlier and also helps me not freak out about him not accepting my apology.

At eight o clock Cam is still not back, but I figure that he is just having fun with his brothers.

When I put Lexi to bed she asks me "How come daddy and you were yelling?"

"Sometimes mommy and daddy get frustrated with each other and fight, but it'll be okay honey I promise." I assure her before she drifts into a peaceful sleep.

Audrey and I sit in our pajamas in her bedroom watching chick flicks and eating ice cream after Lexi falls asleep. We talk about her boyfriend and I try to convince her that there are better guys out there, but once she starts getting annoyed with me I shut my mouth. We stay there talking and watching movies until nearly midnight.

I am worried at the fact that Cam is still not home, but figure he is just staying at one of his brother's houses to cool off a bit. When the final movie is over, and I am finding it difficult to keep my eyes open, go into the guest room where Lexi is sleeping soundly on my side of the bed. I crawl in beside her, and end up sleeping near the middle.

I watch her sleep for a few minutes before I myself fall asleep snuggling next to my darling baby girl.

When I wake up it is still dark, and Cam is lying next to me against my back. He's whispering unintelligible nonsense, and there is a thick odor of alcohol on his breath.

"Cam…" I say sitting up on the bed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Shh! Go to sleep Maya!" he says slurring his words together. "Cam, you reek. How much did you drink?" I ask him in an accusing whisper.

"Shh…" He says his eyes closed obviously trying to get some sleep. I glance at the alarm clock on the bed side table, and see that it is 2:30 A.M.

"Cam, you know you're not supposed to drink on your meds!" I whisper angrily, and he just shushes me once again. I am too tired to do anything, but sleep so I carefully nudge Lexi over a little further as to get away from Cam and his garbage breath. I lay next to her with him about a foot away from me, and fall asleep again.

The next morning I wake up at 6 to the bed shifting violently, and Cam running out of the room. I hear the disgusting sound of him vomiting in the restroom across the hall. I get up slowly to check on him in the restroom, and see that he can't keep his head out of the toilet.

"Drinking like that is going to kill you!" I say during one of the few respites he has from puking.

When the contents of his stomach are completely purged, he flushes the toilet and brushes his teeth. "Maya, I'm not going to die!" he says while scrubbing his teeth forcefully.

"Are you sure about that because I seem to remember you trying to kill yourself last time you drank like this." I respond sarcastically. "You know it messes with your meds." I add in a quieter more sympathetic tone.

"I'm sorry Maya!" he comments apologetically spitting out the toothpaste from his mouth.

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to yourself! You're the one who is going to spend the rest of the week hating your life!" I mention leaning on the wall of the bathroom behind him.

"I think that I'll be okay." He adds turning around to speak to me.

"You better be! I can't handle seeing you sad." I add smiling slightly at him.

"I'm sorry about yesterday. I was making a big deal out of nothing." He says walking closer to me, and then leaning in to kiss my lips. I divert my lips from his, and comment. "You were just puking. I'm not kissing you!" playfully.

"Ow. Let's be quiet. I have a killer migraine!" he says cringing at my loudness. "Well… don't drink!" I mention walking away and back into the guest room.

The rest of the trip was kind of a blur for Cam. He got depressed for a few days like I knew he would, and stayed in bed for the entire last day. I felt bad, but it's his fault. He knows what that amount of liquor does to him, but he drank it anyway.

Lexi was feeling better, but she fell down the last two steps on the day before we drove home and had really bad bruises on her knees. I worried about her of course, but Jeanne told me that Justin and Audrey bruised easily when they were kids and it wasn't a big deal.

Since Cam was out of it, I ended up driving the whole way home. He never likes me to drive the BMW, but considering he couldn't think straight he told me to. The drive home went by slowly since Icouldn't sleep and Cam was not talking. It was really late when we got home, so we left the car packed up and went right in to sleep off the long trip.

The trip to Kapukasing was perhaps one of the most stressful weeks of my life. With Lexi getting sick, Cam and I arguing, me accidentally insulting my in-laws, and Cam getting depressed, I don't think it could have gone worse. To say the least, I was thrilled to be back home where everything is slightly less crazy.
