Monday Morning…

Pilar ran through the lobby of Massachusetts General Hospital trying to catch the elevator. She had a wild morning with the kids, Lily was insistent on wearing her pink tutee and tiara, after a half hour of pleading, Pilar was able to dress her in something suitable for pre-school. Mornings like these she wished Hunter were there to help her with the morning chaos of lunches and getting the kids out of the door.

Pilar gave a sigh of relief as she entered the elevator. She started to lean against the railing and close her eyes, they snapped opened as the two people she didn't want to see entered the elevator, it was Hunter and one of the hospital's board members, Sable Mero. She started to leave the elevator, but Hunter pushed the button for their designated floor. Pilar wanted to scream, but bit her tongue.

Sable turned to Pilar and smirked. "Good Morning, or maybe not so much."

Hunter cleared his throat and flashed Sable a glare. "Good Morning, Pilar."

"Good Morning." Pilar tried her hardest to sound polite.

Sable made sure to inch closer to Hunter, her goal was to rub this into Pilar's face. "Pilar, I have to commend you on having such well-behaved children, the four of us had a great time this past weekend. I don't know how you do it all, I mean…single mom and working full time."

Hunter leaned over to Sable and whispered in her ear. "That's enough."

Pilar felt her temperature rise. "No Hunter, let Ms. Mero continue to talk about "our" children and how I am so the wonder woman of this hospital."

"All I was trying to say, is that it must be so hard raising children on your own. It is refreshing to see a working mother keeping it together. I mean most women would have crumbled after losing their husband." Sable smirked devilishly.

"Now you listen to me you no good witch…I have to work for you, but I don't have to take your crap." The elevator stopped and the doors opened, Pilar started to walk out, but turned quickly back to Sable. "And don't ever bring up my kids to me again!"

Sable looked at Pilar with a snarky expression and hand on her hip. "You will not talk to me that way, unless you want me to fire your ass. Besides, I have the best Helmsley standing right beside me."

Hunter lightly pulled Sable back. "Do not talk to her that way."

Sable gave Hunter an annoyed look. "She will either learn to deal with you and I, or I will have her terminated, Mr. Chief of Staff."

Hunter put his temper in check and spoke in a low voice as he yanked Sable's arm. "There is no you and I, we had sex and we both got what we wanted."

Sable moved very close to Hunter and stroked his chest. "If you want to be CEO someday, you will rethink about what you are to me. Remember I am a board member here, and I have the power to make you or break you."

Hunter closed his eyes thinking that he had to get through to her, but now was not the time, he had to straighten things out with Pilar. "We will talk later, I have a meeting to get to."

Sable arched her eyebrow. "Just make sure to call me later."

Hunter made sure to let the elevator doors close, and he then quickly followed behind Pilar as she briskly walked down the hallway, headed to her office.

"Wait…Will you wait please." Hunter lightly pulled at Pilar's shoulder to get her to face him.

Pilar was red in the face. "We need to talk…And don't touch me." Pilar arrived at her office and flung her office door open, Hunter was one step behind her and slammed the door shut.

Pilar quickly turned around to face Hunter. "I DON'T WANT THAT WOMAN AROUND MY CHILDREN!"

Hunter threw up his hands. "You need to calm down, she was trying to bait you…The kids only saw her once this weekend, she stopped by with paperwork for me to look at." Hunter rubbed his temples. "I am trying to help you keep your job."

Pilar squinted her eyes. "Did you make that agreement during your pillow talk with her?"

Hunter looked sheepishly at Pilar. "That's not fair."

Pilar was desperately trying to fight back her tears. "NOT FAIR…NOT FAIR…I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S NOT FAIR…YOU FUCKING THAT BITCH…THAT'S NOT FAIR." Pilar finally broke down and put her hands over her face and sobbed.

Hunter swallowed hard and pulled her into his chest. "It was just sex…It didn't mean anything…You are everything to me…You are my heart…It was for…"

Pilar felt herself slowly giving into him, but she quickly remembered what he did to her and their family. She pushed him in the chest hard, he barely moved, so she pushed him harder as the tears steadily flowed down her face. "IT WAS FOR WHAT…THIS DAMN PROMOTION…YOU SACRIFICED EVERYTHING!'

Hunter stood tall as he tried to wipe her tears. "Baby, It doesn't have to be like this…We can put this behind us…I love…"

"Oh stop with the baby bullshit." Pilar was so mad that she began pointing and pushing her right index finger into Hunter's chest as she spoke. "Love should have kept your ass from fucking her…This promotion met more to you than me or our kids!"

Hunter ran his hand over his cropped hair as he felt the frustration creep though his veins. "WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO…LET THAT LITTLE PRICK DEREK SHEPPARD BEAT ME OUT…I HAVE WORKED MY FUCKING ASS OFF AT THIS HOSPITAL…I EARNED THIS JOB…I DID IT FOR OUR FUTURE!"

Pilar was livid. "OUR FUTURE…YOU DID IT FOR YOURSELF…YOU HAVE OBESSED OVER BEATING OUT DEREK EVER SINCE YOU HEARD HE WAS TRANSFERRING HERE FROM SEATTLE…WELL CONGRULATIONS, YOU WON…BUT WHAT DID YOU WIN…YOU WHORED YOURSELF OUT AND DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAN I MARRIED!"

Hunter started to pace in front of her. "I AM THE SAME S.O.B THAT I WAS WHEN WE MET…I NEVER LET ANYONE BEAT ME OUT OF SOMETHING THAT I KNOW IS MINE…I HAVE SAVED MORE LIVES HERE THEN THE ENTIRE STAFF COMBINED TOGETHER…THIS JOB BELONGED TO ME…I WOULD RATHER SLIT MY WRIST THEN REPORT TO THAT LITTLE BASTARD, DEREK!"

Pilar looked on in horror as she shook her head from side to side. "The man I fell in love with would never intentionally hurt me, but you did just that." Pilar stepped into Hunter's face. "I had that women in our home, served her dinner. I knew the moment she stepped foot into our home she was evil, but I sucked it up for you…And what did you do? You slept with her and you weren't even going to tell me. I had to find out from her disgusting sex letter detailing everything that you two did."

Hunter becoming desperate to get Pilar to understand. He slowly brought his hands to Pilar's face and held it tight. "It didn't mean anything, that letter was exaggerated. Sweetheart, we can fix this, I love you so much. Please…"

Pilar looked into his eyes trying to search for the truth. "You hurt me…You broke our vows…I-I…."

Hunter stopped her by capturing her lips into a kiss, it was rough and needing. They both moaned as their bodies slowly molded together.

Hunter quickly backed her into the wall as his hands tugged at her blouse, gaining access to her neck and breasts. His heart was racing and he could feel Pilar's doing the same.

Pilar wrapped her arms around his neck, the kiss was becoming passionate as their tongues intertwined. "I want you…I need you." Hunter mumbled on her lips.

Pilar could feel his cock becoming erect, she desperately tugged and fumbled to unbuckle his pants as she felt a surge of heat within her womanhood.

Suddenly the phone rang, and that seem to snap Pilar back to reality. She tried to break free, but Hunter's hands slowly reached down to the hem of her skirt and caressed the back of her thighs. "Don't answer it." Hunter moaned on her neck.

It wasn't met to be as the phone continued to ring. Pilar pushed Hunter back. "It could be an emergency."

Hunter reluctantly let her go, he was frustrated. He has never wanted her more. He sighed heavily as he watched her talk on the telephone.

Pilar hung up and fixed her skirt and blouse. She too was flushed in the face and extremely heated, she could feel the warmth and needing in her womanhood, she hated herself for wanting him so much. Her mind was spinning with thoughts of nothing being resolved between them, and the last thing they needed was to complicate things with having sex together. "You can stay, my nurse said Randy is waiting to see us."

Hunter frowned as he adjusted his pants. "I want for us to see each other later, you miss me as much as I miss you."

Pilar shook her head. "No…This was a mistake." She looked away from Hunter.

He placed his hot hands on her waist. "It was not a mistake…The mistake is us being apart!"

"Hey Guys!" Randy was tired of waiting so he decided to just walk in, and both Hunter and Pilar jumped at the sudden intrusion.

"Your timing sucks Orton." Hunter said in an irritated tone.

Pilar ignored Hunter's rudeness and hugged Randy. "I'm glad you made it, but you should have called us, we could have picked you up from the airport."

Randy held her a little longer than Hunter liked. "Ah…Did you forget who asked you to come here, Orton."

Randy laughed, but then gave Hunter a hug. "No…I gave up a cushy practice in San Francisco because you needed me here to help have your back. So what is with the attitude?"

"I don't have an attitude, you are interrupting something that is important."

Randy smirked. "You two can save that until you get home." Randy looking directly at Hunter's crotch.

"Oh, fuck you Orton." Hunter buttoned his suit jacket to cover the obvious bulge.

Pilar smiled. "You weren't interrupting. We are both happy you are here."

"So, am I staying with you guys or are you going to make me get a hotel room." Randy sat on the couch.

Pilar and Hunter looked at each. Pilar finally spoke up. "I guess Hunter didn't fill you in, we are divorced now. But you are welcome to stay with me and the kids."

Hunter practically snapped his neck when he turned to Pilar. "No! That is not necessary, I had the hospital take care of Randy's accommodations." Hunter could feel Pilar staring at him, but he didn't care, he knew his friend Randy could be a real hound dog around the ladies.

Randy frowned at Hunter, he couldn't believe Hunter didn't tell him about the divorce. "I can't believe you two aren't together anymore. So that makes beautiful a free woman."

Pilar smiled as she blushed. "You are something else Dr. Orton. I need to see patients. You two stay. Randy, I will talk to you later."

Randy made sure Pilar left before he turned his attention back to Hunter. "What did you do? And how did you let her go?"

Hunter stepped into Randy's face. "This is temporary, so don't get any ideas."

Randy shook his head. "I'm just concerned for my friends. But, you still need to tell me what the hell I have just got myself into."

Hunter relaxed a little. "Pilar and I had a misunderstanding, we will work it out."

Randy scratched his head. "You are in denial…You are divorced, that is more than a little misunderstanding."

Hunter rubbed the back of his head. "I messed up, let's just leave it at that."

"No…You must have fucked up royally. I hope that piece of ass was worth it. Because you have lost the best thing that has ever happened to your selfish ass."

"Don't worry about what is going on between me and my wife, we will fix it. Let me show you around." Hunter walked out of the office. He knew Randy was a good surgeon, but he was not going to put up with him trying to get into his wife's pants.

Randy watched his friend walk away, he knew Hunter was in trouble and denial, he hoped he could help, and he hoped he could control his natural urges, which is to always help a lady in distress.
