(It had been a two weeks after that conversation and she was nowhere close to finding help. She was busy in meetings trying to come up with a plan to bring back business to the clinic. She was in her office when there was a knock on her door.)

Olivia: Come in.

Tim: Hey that new hire is here.

Olivia: Oh wait, since when did we get a new hire?

Tim: Since a week ago.

Olivia: I didn't get a notification on my email.

Tim: You did, I sent it three times.

(She goes to her email and looks through it and finds them.)

Mariska: I'm sorry Tim. I've been so busy with not just work but the kids since Jesse is in Las Vegas again. So how has he been and it's crazy I haven't run into him.

Tim: Well you have been out with Jason last week.

Mariska: (sigh) That stomach virus was the worst and trying to keep him away from the girls was challenging.

Tim: Well you are superwoman and don't worry his first few days here and he has every woman drooling.

Mariska: Oh well I can't wait to meet him.

Tim: (gives her a look) Try to hold the drool.

Mariska: I'm a married woman Tim.

(He leaves out and a few minutes later comes back in with the new hire behind him.)

Tim: Mariska I would like for you to meet...

(Mariska looks up just as Chris looks at her and she gasps as she struggles to stand.)

Mariska: Chris!

Chris: Mariska!

Tim: (looks confused) You two know each other?

Chris: (smiles) Yeah we do.

Tim: (eye Mariska) Mariska?

Mariska: (snaps out of it) Huh what?

Tim: Old friends I'm guessing?

Mariska: Umm yeah, it's been a long time.

Chris: Hello Marsha.

Mariska: (still in disbelief) H h hi.

Tim: (excuses himself) Ill be in my office.

Mariska: (blinks) Thanks again, Tim.

Tim: Uh huh.

(They wait until he leaves out to say anything.)

Mariska: So Chris, you the new hire?

Chris: It seems that way yeah.

(She gestures for him to sit.)

Mariska: Umm have a seat.

Chris: (sits down) Wow.

Mariska: What?

Chris: I never thought I'd see you again. This must be fate or the man upstairs is playing a cruel game.

Mariska: Why do you say that?

Chris: Well the last time I saw you was ten years ago and I woke up to an empty apartment.

Mariska: You knew I had an early flight.

Chris: A kiss goodbye would have been nice.

Mariska: It was already complicated Chris.

Chris: So what now?

Mariska: What do you mean?

Chris: Do we pretend we don't know each other or?

Mariska: Well it's been ten years Chris. A lot has changed, I have changed and I'm sure you have. It's going to take some time to build a friendship again, but I don't want to pretend I don't know you.

Chris: (nods his head) What is his name?

Mariska: Who?

Chris: The guy who was lucky enough to put a ring on your finger.

(He looks behind her and finds a few pictures on the wall of her with he's guessing the husband and three small kids.)

Mariska: Jesse.

Chris: Hmm, well it was nice meeting Dr. Maxwell.

Mariska: You too Dr. Meloni.

(She watches as he walks out closing the door behind him. Mariska lets out a deep breath she didn't realize she was holding as she suddenly feels lightheaded.)

(As her day was coming to an end she gathered her things and headed home to her children. She stops by the Chinese restaurant to get something to eat. Once home she opens the door and walks in noticing how quiet it is.)

Mariska: (yells out) Kids.

(She walks through the house taking note of how clean it is and heads towards the bedrooms.)

Mariska: Guys this isn't funny.

(She then heads to her room and pushes the door open and her mouth drops.)

Mariska: What the..

Jesse: Hey baby.

(She yelps before she turns seeing her husband standing in the doorway.)

Mariska: My god Jesse you scared me.

Jesse: Who else were you expecting?

(She walks up to him and hugs him.)

Mariska: Your home.

Jesse: I got in around noon and wanted to surprise you. You have been so wonderful balancing the kids and work, I figured the least I can do is cater to you. I called Mom to get the kids and guess what?

Mariska: What?

Jesse: We have the whole weekend to ourselves.

Mariska: (arch an eyebrow) Oh really.

Jesse: (kisses her) Oh yeah.

Mariska: I love you.

Jesse: I love you too, now go your bubble bath awaits.

(She's horny and turned on as she slides a hand down over the tint in his pants and squeezes.)

Mariska: Mmm I wonder what else awaits.

Jesse: (groans) Yo before I take you right here and right now.

Mariska: I won't complain.

Jesse: Go and come back out in only your robe.

Mariska: (moans) God Jesse it's been three weeks.

Jesse: Trust me I know but it's only going to make it better when I do touch you.

(Mariska kisses him once more and forces her tongue between his lips tasting him. He brings his hands to her ass and cups it before he squeezes.)

Mariska: Fuck I need you so bad.

Jesse: Bath first, then I promise to make you cum so many times you're going to be too tired to move the next day.

Mariska: (nips his lip) Food don't forget food. I picked up some Chinese on my way home.

Jesse: Great, I'll go sort it out while you relax. You have a bottle of your favorite wine and a glass while you relax.

Mariska: You are too good to me.

Jesse: Nah, I'm the lucky one.

(She kissed him one more time before turning and going into the bathroom shedding her clothes before she stepped into the tub. She lay back with a content sigh and just relaxed for a second. As her mind wanders, it takes her back to what happened earlier. Now she's frustrated because all she can think about is Chris and her daughters.)
