"I don't understand why he doesn't remember. " James yelled in frustration.
"Maybe he needs more time. Jack still doesn't remember too. " She tried to soothe him.
"Of course you just need to bring Jackass into. Are you worried he would be upset with us together?"
"That's enough. I understand that you have right to be upset with me being Jack's wife and I gave you time. But I'm not going to put up with all your shit anymore. Jack is in my past and I can't change that. You just have to remember I'm with you now and not with Jack."
She glared at James daring him to say something anything but he was quiet.
"Now about Miles" She said coldly still hurt from his treatment. "There's a reason we can remember our previous life and" she choked "our death. I think this world is some kind of limbo and at some moment we have to leave it and move on. Maybe there is something we have to fix until we can go. Or we have to wait for our soul mates. I'm still not sure about that part."
"Bullshit and I don't even talk about that limbo thing. You say we aren't soul mates with Miles. After all those years! But we can be with Shephard." He frowns from the thought.
"I thought we agreed to leave Jack out of this." She sighed tiredly.
He looked at her and cringed from the way she avoided looking at him.
"I'm sorry. " He started suddenly very aware of what an ass he had been to her. "It was unfair for me to vent out on you. It's just hard to accept that he had his chance with you, the real one, not in some hippy settlement and he let you leave even hurt you."
"It's okay." She said still not looking at him. "You have right to …"
"No I don't. " He stopped her. "Juliet, you're wonderful person and you deserve much better than me or Jackass. You should remember that."
He didn't know what had happened here but he once again could see that broken Juliet he had had a glimpse on while talking about her ex. For Doc's sake he hoped he hadn't done anything to her or he was going to regret that.
"Hit me." He stood into her line of vision.
"What?"
"I apologized but that didn't help. So I don't see another way for you to forgive me. Hit me. I'm sure you still have that hell of a blow of yours."
A/N: A little longer chapter for you because I'm not sure whether I'll be able to post soon or not. And the question is "do you want Juliet to go with his suggestion and hit him?"
