Hey Everyone! So here is the next chapter, enjoy.

Jack and Kim were handling the situation pretty well considering everything that happened. Jack knew that this was going to happen so he was already prepared but what he wasn't prepared for was Jerry finding out. You see Jerry didn't really know what was going on but he sensed Jack had something going on; kind of like a secret and it wasn't until Kim came around that Jack's mood changed and then the pieces started to come together. Jerry was shocked that his best friend got into a situation like this but at the same time he saw the love that Jack and Kim had for each other and after Kim left; Jerry made it his mission to make sure Jack was okay. In the beginning it wasn't too bad, Jerry kept enough distance to not have Jack catch on but when Jack started to throw himself into work more Jerry knew he had to step in. Every night Jerry had to talk to Jack into not working and going home or coming over to see Kaylie, and every once in a while it work as other times it was a battle that Jerry couldn't win and he came to realize that Jack just needed to do what he needed to do.

Kim and Grace were starting to get ready to head back to work as it was only a week before they could start to set up their classrooms and Kim was thankful for the distraction. Of course Grace and Jerry kept tabs on the two and would share updates with hopes that things would work out somehow.

Tuesday morning rolled around as Kim was ready to get everything figured out. Before Grace left to meet up with Jerry she wished Kim good luck. They hugged and went on their ways.

Kim pulled in front of the house to see Brody just returning and looking causal. They both acknowledged each other with a nod and made their way into the house. They sat at the kitchen table just looking around not wanting to start just yet. After a few more minutes Kim take a deep breath and started the conversation. "Thank you for clearing your schedule. I know it must have been difficult", Kim said honestly.

"It's no problem. Over the past few days I have handed over some cases so I would have more time to figure some stuff out", Brody replied in the same tone. Kim nodded and again the room was silent. "I'm sorry for all the horrible things I said to you", Brody added in a low voice continuing the conversation.

"I know you are and I'm sorry for putting us in the situation", Kim added.

"Kim, you have to know and understand that this isn't all your fault okay. We both did things and made mistakes," Brody said grabbing Kim's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

"I'm sorry I cheated on", Kim said, looking Brody right in the eyes.

"I'm sorry I made you cheat. I realize that me working all the time wasn't fair to you. I was just so into wanting to be a part of the firm that I neglected the things that were important to me. And since we are being honest I have something I need to tell you", Brody started, looking at Kim who just nodded so he could continue. "I kind of cheated on you too. It was only one kiss, well make out session type thing but it was a kiss nonetheless and that was the last accusation you said. The others were nothing, I swear. The first one at the office was the new girl trying to get in on my case so she thought flattery would work and the reason I looked like I enjoyed it was because she was the boss's niece so I was just being nice. The second time with the perfume was with Judy who is our human resources personal and by the way is like 50 something and her husband got into a really bad accident so she was telling me about it and crying into to shirt as I hugged her. And the second phone is from the office so we can always be reached. It specifically programmed with everything work related so we won't miss a thing", Brody finished.

Kim was speechless as Brody told her everything. She couldn't believe that those were the real outcomes from what she thought and surprisingly she wasn't mad because it proved that they both made mistakes. She squeezed his hand and said, "It's okay. Thanks for telling me the truth but can I ask you something serious?" Brody nodded as Kim continued, "Do you still love me?"

Brody thought for a minute and responded, "I still love you Kim but I don't think I'm in love with you".

Kim let out a soft breath and said, "Brody I feel the same way. I think in the beginning we really were in love with each other but we were still growing up. Now, I'm not saying we rushed into this but that maybe we really didn't know ourselves". Brody smiled and nodded in agreement as to two felt better knowing things were out in the open.

"Can I ask you something?" Brody asked cautiously. Kim nodded a 'yes' as Brody asked, "Do you love the guy?"

Kim thought for a moment before answering truthfully, "Yes, I do love him. Do you love the girl?"

"Honestly I don't know. We clicked instantly but after the kiss we haven't really talked", Brody said looking out the window.

Kim nodded not knowing what wiser to say. They sat in silence for a while taking everything in.

"So are we thinking the same thing?" Brody asked breaking the silence in a nervous tone.

"And that would be?" Kim also asked in an anxious tone.

"Um, separating?" Brody said but more as a question.

Kim paused for a minute before answering, 'yeah'.

Brody nodded, adding, "So I will have someone in my office find a good lawyer we can talk to".

"That sounds great. Thanks Brody and I really am sorry", Kim said getting up to hug Brody.

"I know and I am sorry too. I will let you know when I have some information. Have a good first week in a few weeks", Brody said as they walked to their cars.

"Thanks. You have a good week too", Kim replied waving a goodbye as she walked to her car.

They waved one final goodbye as they both felt a sense of relief. Things were working out, not the way they hoped but none the less, this was a civil conversation and for the first time in a long time they actually connected in a deeper level and they knew things were going to be just fine.

So there, you go. Please R&R and let me know what you think.

So I know most of you that my schedule on updating. I update Monday-Thursday (most times) and sometimes on the weekend. Well, I know that the story may be a little slow but there are still a lot more chapters to go so maybe I will update every other day? Or a couple times a week? What you think?

Also I know I mentioned not doing a review goal but only getting low reviews yesterday kind of made me sad, so can we please try and reach 130 before the next chapter?

Thanks and until next time,
