"You weren't going to tell me? Even after you had the baby?" he asks, disbelieving a little that I would go and not tell him, that his life may have gone by not knowing about it...
Ike smiles a small smile, "he'd have come back in about three months at the longest, to beg forgiveness and to explain, and seen you and known."
Tay nods, "probably."
"Why didn't you say that before? I probably would have tried to do something to break that spell of boredom and I don't know about the going too fast, cos I felt that too, but...but I..." I let my voice trail off.

"I know but...I didn't think it would do any good and I didn't know how to explain anyway. I'm sorry..." he looks up at me, still there are tears in his eyes, "will you forgive me,...please? I'm sorry...I'm an idiot, but ...I love you..." he pleades softly.
I don't know what to do. I love him, and I believe him, maybe I shouldn't but there has never been a reason not to trust him and when I looked into his eyes before, I saw it. I'm going to have a baby, and I want that baby to have it's father. And I want to have it's father. But I don't know if I can just go back.
"You got what you wanted...we're not so close that we're going so fast now, but...okay, I love you, you know that, and I want you to be a part of this baby's life, but we can't just pick up where we left off"
He nods, "I know, we have to start again, not from the beginning, but from a different point, but I just want to...slowly get things back how they were, I think I can be ready this time. I think I don't have much of a choice, but I don't want one," he smiles a soft small embarassed smile, and I smile back, a small, tearful but happy smile.
He walks up to me, and hesitates, then throwns his arms around me and hugs me, I can't help but do what I had wanted to do so badly when he had walked in the room, and I hug him back.

Diana walks up and announces that dinner, being spagetti was done. Tay and Ike head down, and she grabs my sleeve and hugs me.
"What happened?" she asks.
"He told me why he broke up with me, and that he wanted me back, kind of, and I told him I still loved him, and all that and that as much as I wanted him back, too, we couldn't pick up where we left off," I sigh.
"He still talked about you, never took your picture down, nothing, and Ike told him to explain to you why, I did too, but I knew that he would when he figured out how, but I had no idea that Domenica would call me saying there was something she thought I should know," she looks happy, but tired.
"I'm glad your back, sweetie, Amy just wasn't the same. But you two have your work cut out for you...as a mother of seven, I know!" she laughs and starts out, "Lets get down there before it's gone."

Tay is talking to Amy in the living room, explaining what's going on, I'm guessing. I walk into the kitchen and Zac looks up from his bowl of spagetti and drops the spoon in it.
"Mia!!" he smiles, "you're back!!"
He runs up to me and hugs me, I'm getting alot of hugs.
"I missed you," he murmurs into my hair. Zac and I are close friends, to say the least. He's one of my best friends, and after I left I missed him like mad, but I didn't want to go back because I would have had to face Taylor. I misssed the whole family, they'd become an extention of my family, and I loved them all.
