Jon glared into the eyes of his wife. Adriana was trying to break away from him.

"LET GO OF ME!"

"Shut up," Jon said. "Shut your damn mouth."

Adriana looked butthurt when he said that. But Jon didn't give a hairy rats ass.

"J.J., get out of here. Go and sit in the living room," Jon said.

J.J. got up slowly from his bed. Jon turned his head and looked in his son's direction.

"Jonathan Good, Junior, leave the room now," Jon said again.

J.J. hurried out of the room without hesitation the second time.

Jon turned his attention back to Adriana.

"Now you listen and you listen well. You've hurt me. You've hurt me in every way possible. You didn't have to bring up my past alright? I am sorry. I am truly sorry that I inadvertly hurt you over the years without knowing it. But you knew the risks that came with everything. It was nervous on purpose. I fucking love you, Adriana."

Tears began to fill Jon's eyes. His voice began to break as well.

"I fucking love you, Adriana. But you're too goddamn stupid to see that. Every damn thing I told you when we were younger came into fruitation. We are married and we have a beautiful son together. I promised to never leave you and I NEVER LEFT YOU. EVER. Yeah, I went overseas to Iraq. I brought you and your mother to Japan with me. Yeah, I've come close to death many times before but I still pulled through and I made it back to you. But if you wanna leave me...fine. If divorce is what you want, then so be it. I'll grant you your wish. But I am going to tell you this: we will be back together. I am not saying this to be "in control" or anything. I'm telling you this because I've treated you like a queen my entire life. I've put up with you screaming at me, slapping me, and hurting my feelings. But never did I once put my hands on you or say mean and hateful things to you. I really love you, Adriana. But I guess we do need time apart."

Jon released Adriana.

Adriana looked back at Jon.

"I'm sorry, Jonathan."

"It's too late."

"Jonathan, listen!"

"For what, Adriana!?"

Jon's tears had fallen out of his blue eyes.

"Look...what if we just separated?"

Jon thought it over for a bit.

"If that's what you want, I'll grant your wish."

Poor J.J. had to switch between being with Jon and Adriana during the following months following his parents' separation. It pained J.J. to see his parents separated.

Some days Adriana and Jon didn't want to see each other, then other days they did. Mrs. Germanotta hated seeing Adriana and Jon apart but she knew it was their choice. Mrs. Germanotta found out about what Adriana had said to Jon.

And boy did she let Adriana have it.

"Adriana! I know...I KNOW...that you did not fix your damn mouth to say that to him! You honestly think he put you through everything on purpose? I outta knock your damn teeth out of your throat," Mrs. Germanotta said. "That man has loved you ever since he first laid eyes on you! When he was little he used to tell me he would get a little sad whenever I would cut your hair. He thought it was too beautiful to be cut. So that's why I stopped cutting it. Hell, I even saw him watching porn on t.v.! Now, I didn't say anything because I knew why. He was getting older and was curious about sex. Which is one of the reason's why I bought condoms for him. That way you two would have safe sex. And you know what? He came back and thanked me. I felt reassured because he wasn't ashamed to use them. He wanted to be safe and smart to protect you. He rescued you from those bullies on the playground and he rescued you from a lot of other people too. But you seem to have forgotten that. You're so damn mad because Jonathan locked Max up. It's a good thing too! I'm sorry Adriana, but Max deserves to be in jail. I still love him but this is going to teach him a valuable lesson. And if I ever hear of you smacking Jon again and cussing him out in front of J.J., so help me! And THEN you say that you hate him!? HATE IS A STRONG WORD GIRL! Gah! I wanna take your damn head off, girl!"

Adriana listened to her mother scold her for the next hour.

She knew she deserved it though. But something wouldn't let her apologize to Jonathan: her stubborness.

Adriana was a sweet girl, she really was. But she was stubborn as hell sometimes.

The simple thought of what could happen to Max while in jail still bothered her and lingered in her mind. Knowing that Jonathan was the one to put him behind bars made it even worse.

J.J. came running to his grandmother's room where she was lecturing Adriana.

"Mommy! Mommy! Do I get to see Daddy today?"

"Yes. You are going to see your father today," Mrs. Germanotta confirmed. "Let's go. Get your butt up, Adriana."

Adriana got up and put her shoes on. She grabbed her purse and left out of the room with her mother and son.

J.J. was extremely excited in the backseat.

"I get to see Daddy! Oooh! I get to see Daddy!" he sang out loud.

"We'll be there soon," his grandmother said.

Adriana looked out of the window and didn't say anything. Today, she didn't want to see Jon. He had remained in their home while she moved in with her mother. There was a reason as to why Adriana didn't want to get her own place.

"YAY! WE ARE HERE!"

J.J. quickly unbuckled his seatbelt as soon as Mrs. Germanotta pulled into the driveway of what was once both Jonathan and Adriana's home.

Jonathan came out of the door and walked down the porch. J.J. ran into his father's arms.

"Oh Daddy! I've missed you!"

"I've missed you too," Jon said.

Jon held J.J. in his arm's and walked to the car.

"Hey Mom. How's it going?" Jon said.

"It's going well," Mrs. Germanotta said. "How are you holding up?"

"Can't complain. I get to spend time with my son. Hello Adriana," Jon said.

Adriana turned her head and looked at Jon.

"Hello Jonathan," she said.

"You look beautiful today."

"Thank you. You look handsome today."

"Thanks. I still love you."

That took Adriana by surprise.

All she could say in return was: "Love you, too."

"Daddy, can I go to Disneyland for my birthday?" J.J. asked.

"As a matter of fact, I already bought every tickets to go," Jon said.

"YAY! DADDY YOU ARE THE BEST!"

J.J. hugged his father's neck.

"I want you to come too," Jon told Adriana.

"I will. Thank you," Adriana said.

Adriana couldn't focus on her work. She had to take care of two wounded cats and just couldn't think straight. Her and Jon had been separated for five months. It was a long and terrible five months. Adriana missed having sex with Jon. Whether it was angry sex or passionate sex, she missed it. She missed the smell of Jon's cologne and everything. She quickly wiped away tears falling from her eyes. She refocused her attention on the cats and got them bandaged up.

She quickly closed up her vet shop and went into her office. She opened a drawer at her desk and pulled out a piece of paper folded up. She unfolded it and started reading it:

"Adriana,

I'm going to be gone until like two in the morning. I don't want to leave but I have to. I'm so sorry. Please, don't worry and wait up for me. Take care of J.J. and take care of yourself. Don't start stressing yourself out. I hate it when you cry but love it when you smile. I'll be home before you know it.

Love, Jon."

Adriana folded the letter back up and placed it in the drawer and closed it again.

"Fuck," she said.

"Adriana, you know what you need to do to make this right," her mother told her.

"I know. But...ugh, I really don't know where to start," Adriana said.

"You can start by saying sorry," Mrs. Germanotta said.

"You act like Jon was being mean to Max. He wasn't. Trust me, he wasn't. He IS a police officer and he needs do his job. If it was anybody else he'd lock them up too."

"Yeah. You're right."

"I am. And you're gonna apologize. You're not to old to get a belt on your behind either, missy."

J.J. had the ultimate fun at Disneyland.

His favorite ride was Star Tours. He rode that four times back to back. The Tower of Terror was also his favorite.

Jon, Adriana, and J.J. all took a picture with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, even Goofy and Captain Hook.

During the entire day, Adriana kept finding herself drifting towards Jon more and more. They put their animosity aside and actually had a good time. Not only for J.J., but because deep down Adriana knew that Jon was right about what he said. They'd be back together before she knew it.

Jonathan knew Adriana like a book. She was missing him desparately but her stubborness wouldn't let her admit it.

Her and Jon went to a different hotel after Adriana's parents and J.J. fell asleep in their current room. Jonathan wanted to spend some time with her.

Adriana didn't say anything and waited for Jon to reserve a room for them for the night. They went to the hotel room. Adriana went in and simply turned on the light and sat on the couch.

Jonathan locked the door and joined Adriana.

He sat next to her and didn't say anything at first.

An awkward silence between them ensued.

The two of them just sat there.

And sat there.

And sat there.

And sat there.

And sat there.

Until finally: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put you through all of this" came out of Adriana's mouth.

"It's okay," Jonathan said. "I forgave you a long time ago but it's good to hear you say sorry."

"Is that it? Is that what you brought me here for?" Adriana said. She was slightly agitated.

Jonathan looked at Adriana and raised his eyebrows.

"Don't get mad, honey bunch. I told you that we would be back together before you knew it," Jonathan said. "It's been a tough five months but we made it."

"Whatever, Jonathan," Adriana said.

She got up to leave but Jon also got up too and stood in her way.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Down to the lobby. I'm not in the mood for games, Jonathan."

"I am not playing games. I want to spend some time with you," Jonathan said.

"Move!"

Jon grabbed Adriana and kissed her.

Adriana didn't fight or resist.

Adriana pulled Jonathan down on top of her on the couch.

She was trying to unbuckle Jonathan's belt. He assisted her and got his belt off.

He got up and unzipped his pants. Adriana pulled his pants down far enough to reveal Jon's cock.

"God, I've missed you so much. I'm so sorry. I'll never bitch and complain again," Adriana said.

She damn near shoved Jonathan's cock in her mouth.

"Oh shit...I've missed you too."
