--Next Morning--

Laura: (Wakes up, goes into Aubrey's room)

Aubrey: (Playing with her dolls)

Laura: Hey sweetheart. (Smiles)

Aubrey: (Sighs) Hi.

Laura: Do you want some pancakes? (Slightly smiles)

Aubrey: No thank you.

Laura: (Notices she's sad) Well if you want some then...they'll be downstairs. (Fakes smiles, leaves the room)

Ross: (Making coffee)

Laura: (Walks downstairs, goes into the living room, turns on the TV)

Aubrey: (Walks downstairs, checks the island in the kitchen for pancakes, grabs one, walks towards the stairs)

Ross: Hey. (Smiles)

Aubrey: (Sighs and walks upstairs)

Ross: (Sad) C'mon Aubrey!

Laura: (Sad)

Ross: (Sighs)

Laura: Ross...I'm so sorry!

Ross: (Mad) Save it!

Laura: (Stands up) I was worried! I didn't know you were planning that! I know I shouldn't have thought you were cheating, I can tell you really love me! I know I was wrong but it got strange when you were lying to me about Calum and it gave me a fright when you came home smelling of perfume! I was just...(sighs) confused!

Ross: (Turns around and faces her) I admit, in the past I've cheated but not on you! But that was years ago! I have a daughter now, I'm living with you and... Hello? I'm engaged to you! I wouldn't cheat again with all this in my life. You should trust me by now! (Rolls eyes)

Laura: I do trust you! (Sad)

Ross: Doesn't seem it! (Turns around so he's not facing Laura)

Laura: (Says softly) I do trust you! I'm sorry! (Tears in her eyes) I shouldn't have thought that!

Ross: (Doesn't say anything)

Laura: Ross? (Wipes tears) I'm sorry for upsetting you.

Ross: (Sighs, doesn't say anything)

Laura: (Stays silent for a minute)... Do you still want yo marry me? (Looks down)

Ross: (Turns to face her) Of course I want to marry you Laur! I'm just...

Laura: What? (Looks at him)

Ross: Why of all people?! Why would you listen to your father?! (Shocked and mad)

Laura: I shouldn't have and I'm sorry! (Looks down and sniffs) Will you forgive me?

Ross: Just, (sighs) Let me think. (Walks upstairs, goes into their room, slams door shut)

Aubrey: (In her room, hears the door slam, jumps)

Ross: (Gets changed and lies in bed)

--Later that day--

Laura: (Washing dishes)

Aubrey: (Walks downstairs) Mum?

Laura: (Continues washing dishes) Yeah?

Aubrey: Daddy's sad. (Frowns)

Laura: (Stops, looks at her) It's going to be ok. (Smiles)

Aubrey: (Sighs, walks half way up the stairs)

Laura: (Sighs, continues again)

Ross: (Gets dressed, goes downstairs)

Aubrey: (Sitting there)

Ross: (Sits next to her on the stairs) Hey cutie. (Smiles) You ok?

Aubrey: (Looks at him, looks back down)

Ross: (Puts her on his lap) Dont worry alright! Everything's going to be ok, it's only a small fight between mummy and daddy. Tiny! (Smiles)

Aubrey: (Smiles a little, kisses his cheek, runs into her bedroom)

Ross: (Walks downstairs)

Laura: (Hears him, continues washing dishes)

Ross: (Walks over and stands behind her)

Laura: (Stops)

Ross: (Hugs her from behind) I'm sorry for over reacting. (Rests his chin on her shoulder)

Aubrey: (Walks downstairs quietly)

Laura: (Turns to hug him properly) No, it's my fault I should've believed you!

Ross: It's ok! (Smiles)

Laura: (Smiles)
