Work was well underway getting the nursery ready for Holly's return. Tonight was the last night of having to face the heart break of leaving their baby girl in the hospital and tomorrow she would be home and they would be a family at last.

Scott and Madison were taking one last chance to prepare the room for her return. The crib had fresh bedding; an outfit was picked out for their daughter to wear home; the diaper bag was packed and sitting with the car seat by the front door. They wanted it all to be perfect.

...

Scott was now balanced on a ladder hanging a butterfly mobile over the bed.

"Just there?" he asked as Madison watched him experiment with the location.

"I think bit more central…" said Madison, "…that's it."

Scott handed her back the mobile as he grabbed the hook that needed screwing into the ceiling.

"…So you were telling me about your meeting with Marissa." said Madison as she watched her boyfriend work.

"Oh, she was amazing!" said Scott proudly. "I knew she was a good lawyer but she has a real business sense. I've been starring at the numbers for months and she took one look and came away with about five different options I hadn't even thought about."

"So, she saved the day?" said Madison, a hint of jealousy in the tone at the way Scott was waxing lyrical about his ex-lover for what felt like a hundredth time, even though she was the one to press the subject.

"Only time will tell," said Scott, "But I think she might be the key to saving the company... what do you think?"

"I'm not sure I'm one to judge..." said Madison, a sour tone in her voice Scott didn't catch. She didn't want to be the jealous type but there was something about the way that Scott could talk to Marissa about things he couldn't say to her that struck a nerve. There was also the way he was purposefully keep her out of that part his day, only mentioning work in passing and never going into too much depth as if she wouldn't understand, or he was keeping secrets… Was it really that bad at Chandler or was he hiding something else?

Of course it could mean nothing… but with the only people really in her life at the moment being Scott and Holly she was terrified by the thought of anything that could come between them.

"I meant about the hook!" he said with a laugh.

"Oh…" said Madison, being bought back to the moment with a thud, "That looks right."

Madison handed him back the mobile to hang in pride of place above the crib.

"Then we're ready." said Scott, climbing down the ladder and putting his arm around her shoulder to stand beside Madison admiring his work. "Tomorrow out little girl will be coming home!"

Madison nodded and smiled but a part of her was worrying about her increased paranoia about Scott's relationship with Marissa; especially after her conversation with Eric had confirmed some suspicions. Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to Erica again about this. She seemed to have a good perspective on what was happening between the two. Maybe together they could work out what was really going on between Scott and Marissa.
