Dixie: I want to be with you, and you want to be with me. We are both so in love with each other. Let's take it slow. I don't want to tell anyone tho.

Noah: I love you so much. He picks Dixie up and kisses her, and she kisses back. He puts his hand on her waist, and she flinches and jumps away from Noah.

Oh god, baby, I'm sorry.

Dixie: I need some air. Dixie walks out and goes outside to the pool and reminds herself she's okay.

Noah: baby, I'm sorry I didn't realise.

Dixie: Noah, leave me alone. Dixie goes inside, gets her keys and gets in her car and goes to Tatums.

At Tatums

Tatum: hey, Dix.

Dixie: sorry for coming over unannounced. Noah touched a spot, and I needed to calm down, but he was too in my face.

Tatum: you're an independent person just like me. Ty knows that I sometimes need to calm myself down alone.

Dixie: as much as I love Noah, he is a bit clingy, and at the moment, I can't handle clingy.

Tatum: the only way you are going to get that is...

Dixie: I know by not being with him, but it's so hard to not be with him. He makes me feel safe and comfortable.

Tatum: maybe you need to get an apartment to go still where he isn't. So you are together but not moving in together yet. And as it gets closer to when the baby comes, you'll stay together.

Dixie: this is why I love you. How are my babies?

Tatum: wonderful. Ty is at the park with them.

Dixie and Tatum talk for a bit longer, then Dixie leaves and goes back to Noah's.

At Noah's house.

Dixie: ok, some things we need to go over. We are getting back together, but we are taking it slow. I am very sensitive to touch, so some things will trigger me and you being clingy is one.

I need to heal myself before you can help. I'm moving into an apartment. We will see each other still, but I won't stay over. I need to get back to who I was. When I'm eight months, I will remain at yours as you get closer to the hospital.

Noah: no, I'll move into the apartment. You need the house more than I do. I'd rather you have a shorter drive to the hospital than be in a condo.

And it hurts, but I think it's what we both need. I want you to know that I love you so much. Dixie kisses him, and he kisses back.

Dixie: that's something I need. Is that Reassurance that you love me? I know it, but I need to hear it.

Noah: I'm happy to say it.

They chat for a bit, then Noah starts packing his things and puts them in the car, and he leaves.

4 hours later

Dixie: I'm fine. This is good. We're getting back to being independent. Suddenly, dixie hears a noise and freaks out, and she starts having a panic attack.

2 hours later

Dixie still has a panic attacks. She calls Tatum.

Tatum: dixie, breath okay. Remember, all the doors are locked, you are safe, and the baby is safe. Tatum helps calm dixie down.

Dixie: I don't want to have to call Someone for help.

Tatum: well, what are some things that help you when you are stressed.
