Angela awoke on a tear stained pillow her nose all stuffy. She grabbed a few tissues from the box on her night stand and blew her nose. She leaned back against her pillows willing her self to calm down. She had finally fallen asleep only to find herself plagued by nightmares. Nightmares of Tony and Kathleen. Images swirled around inside her head of the two of them marrying and having a baby girl together. She saw them happily living together in a beautiful house complete with a swing set for their little girl. As much as she tried she couldn't get the image out of her mind of Tony being so happy and so in love with Kathleen.

She couldn't believe things had gotten this far. What had happened? What had happened since their talk in Jamaica? Was it something she had said? Done? Something she shouldn't have said? Something she shouldn't have done? Ever since that day she had found out about them she had been trying to figure out where she had gone wrong- or maybe where they had gone wrong.

She was tired. She was sad. She was alone. She knew logically that she wasn't alone but in her heart she felt like she was. Ever since their talk in Jamaica she had felt like the two of them were finally getting somewhere. Of course it would take some time but she was fine with that. But, she didn't feel fine anymore.

After their talk in Jamaica she had had this daydream of the two of them walking down a beautiful country road. The sky was blue, the air was warm, and birds sang the sweetest melody. They talked, laughed, and held hands knowing in their hearts that one day soon they would both be ready. The road may be a little long but as long as they walked together they would be fine. They would always be together.

Then Kathleen had come along and before she knew it Tony had let go of her hand and was now holding Kathleen's. He was now talking and laughing with her. He had left her all alone on that country road. Only now it wasn't warm anymore. It was cold. It was dark. It was lonely. She wanted him back. She needed him back. She wanted him to hold her hand again. She wanted him to talk and laugh with her like they used to. Before everything had all changed. Before he had chosen another woman over her. Things felt different between them. She felt different. In the past few months things were slowly getting better but there was still that feeling of awkwardness. She wished with all her heart that they could have back what they had before. But, with all that happened she just couldn't see how that would ever be possible.

She sighed and looked over at the clock on her nightstand. She jumped up and started to getting ready. She was having breakfast with Andy and was running behind. She quickly showered and got dressed and made her way downstairs 20 minutes later.

She walked throught the living room and was about to enter the kichen when she heard Tony, Mona, and Sam talking. She froze when she realized what they were talking about. Marriage. Tony was telling them that Kathleen wanted to get married and have kids.

"I was right. God help me I was right." she said softly willing herself not to cry. All of a sudden she felt like she was in a coffin and turned on her heels so she could leave.

"Hi Mom." Jonathon said coming down the stairs.

"Oh hi Jonathon."

"Mom, are you okay?" he asked in concern noticing her sad expression.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just running late." she assured him. "I'll see you later honey."

"Okay bye Mom." he told her watching her leave.

He went into the kitchen where he found Mona and Sam deep in conversation.

"I can't believe this Mona." Sam said angrily looking out the kitchen window watching Tony getting into his jeep so he could go see Kathleen.

"You can't believe what?"

"About Tony and Kathleen." Mona filled him in.

"What about Tony and Kathleen?" he asked a feeling of coldness filling his stomach.

"Dad says she wants to get married." Sam said turning to Jonathon.

They stared at one another. The same expression of fear and disgust on their faces.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"Kids come here and sit down." When they were seated she continued. " Look I am older than the 2 of you and I have seen it all. I've also done it all." she said with a wicked grin. Seeing their expressions she went on with what she was saying."and I want you both to know that this Tony/Kathleen thing is only temporary."

"If it is so temporary than why is Dad talking about marrying her?" Sam asked bitterly.

"He said that he thinks that she does. He never said that he wanted to."

"Yeah well whatever. If Tony marries her and if Mom marries Andy our family will never be the same again." Jonathon said angrily jumping up and going out the back door.

"Jonathon!!" Sam started to stand up but was stopped by Mona.

"Let him be Sam. He needs time to himself."

"Mona, what he said was right. If Dad marries Kathleen and if Angela marries Andy our family will never be the same."

"We will always be family Sam. No one and nothing will ever change that."

"I know Mona. But just the thought of the two of them getting married. Mona, he doesn't even love her!!! I've seen how he looks at her and it defintely isn't love." she stops for a moment and looks down. She lifts her head back up and with tears in her eyes she continues. "But I've seen how he looks at Angela. He looks at her like he did my Mom. I may have been a little girl but I still remember that look." The tears fell down her cheeks and Mona pulled her into her arms. Sam laid her head down on her shoulder grateful that she was there.

"Sam honey I know this is hard but we have to have faith that things will turn out the way they are supposed to."

Sam lifted her head and wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. She sighed and asked " But what if they don't? What if faith isn't enough?"

Mona had no answer for that.
