A/N: Hi guys! I love the reviews...they keep me going! This is short, but next chapter will be up within 48 hours, I just took a test and wanted to give you guys a little something until I post what's next. Thanks for reading :o)

Summary: When the unexpected happens, the one man Betty pushed away ends up being the one she needed all along.

Takes place after the events of "Back in her Place", so early January 2010. Hilda doesn't lose the baby in my story (I thought that was so random...)

Daniel sat at his desk, nervously bouncing his knee up and down. He glanced at his watch again. Almost 5:00. Maybe he should try to catch Betty before she left. He heard familiar quick footsteps approaching his office door and stood from his desk.

"Hey," he said to Betty as he unbuttoned his suit jacket, "I was just about to find you…" he stopped mid-sentence, noticing she looked as if she had something on her mind.

"What is it?"

She crossed her arms over her chest. "How long has this thing with Amanda been going on?" Betty asked, looking up at him from behind her frames with accusatory eyes.

"What?" He stood in front of her, a perplexed look crossing his features.

"Daniel, what were you thinking?" she cocked her head slightly to the side, using a condescending tone he hadn't heard in awhile.

"Well…you're the one who told me it was okay for me to have a little fun in the Bahamas. I just happened to have it with Amanda. It wasn't like before at all Betty…things were different. Besides, we aren't even talking like that anymore...it only happened while we were there. We both know that it's better this way," he explained, feeling his cheeks get hot.

She sighed discontentedly, her gaze drifting back to his. "Why are you so upset?" Daniel wondered.

Betty glanced into his curious eyes, shaking her head. Truth was, Betty didn't know why she'd reacted this way. It wasn't even that big of a deal. She was part of the reason Amanda was even available in the Bahamas. Why was she feeling so weird about the thought of them together? "I don't know…I'm not upset. Just caught off guard I guess. When I told you that in the Bahamas, Amanda was the last person I thought you'd turn to. Especially considering… your history," she explained.

He nodded, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "It probably wasn't the best decision I've made," Daniel admitted with a small grin. Betty shrugged, "I didn't mean to sound so judgmental…Amanda let it slip and I think she thought I knew."

"I would've told you but…"

"You didn't have to tell me. It's none of my business," she waved it off.

"Umm...if I recall correctly, within a year of becoming my assistant, you knew more about my personal business than anyone," he smirked, as did she.

"Ahh…how could I forget? I guess you have a point there," she replied.

"Exactly. It feels...unnatural not sharing stuff with you," he added.

Betty smirked slyly, adjusting her frames. "I know what you mean."

"So are we okay?" he asked after a moment.

"We're fine. All the chaos of putting this spring issue together…it's just been a long week, you know?" she told him, letting out a sigh.

"I do know," Daniel stepped closer to her and gave her shoulders a squeeze, "I was trying to catch you before you left to see if you wanted to grab a bite to eat. Maybe it'll help you unwind a bit."

Betty raised her eyebrows, intrigued. "Yes! I'm starving, that sounds wonderful. I'll grab my stuff and meet you by the elevator."

"Okay, sounds good," he watched her turn on her heel, briskly walking away from him. He smirked at the spot she occupied moments before, shaking his head and turning back to his desk.

Sorry it was so long in between updates, school has taken over my life once again...thanks for understanding...PLEASE REVIEW!
