Couple's Therapy

I can't do this without you ....

Miranda slowly walked down the beach in just her bathing suit holding her stomach and chest in pain from finding out Ben has a whole family. She walked until she got back to her and Ben's villa and broke down at the door and just cried sitting there.

"Ma'am are you okay?", their doorman asked.

"Just please let me sit here. I can't go in there", she cried.

"Ma'am it's suppose to be a very bad storm tonight. Hurricane Elsa is still passing by us. The waves have already started. You're safer inside."

Miranda looked up at him like her world was already over. "My heart is already shattered into pieces there isn't anything else that earth can possibly do to me", and the guy had nothing left to say as he saw the pain in her eyes.

"I'll be back to check on you ma'am", he said before leaving.

Miranda sat there majority of the night as the water came up so high hitting her repeatedly and pushing her against the door. "Ma'am please get inside! Whatever is going on can't last forever!"

Another wave of water hit the island and Miranda finally got up going into her room. "Please stay inside, we'll let you know if it's too severe to stay here. Okay?!"

Miranda nodded her head then shut the door. She immediately got in the bed and under the covers and cried herself to sleep.

The storm had finished passing the island over night and it didn't get bad just a few crazy waves. Ben was worried about Miranda all night, but was with Alexandra and the kids.

Ben and Alexandra and the kids were still on the beach when the big waves hit the island the night before and Ben's first response was to automatically protect them, especially the kids, his kids.

"COME ON!", Ben yelled as the wind were taking over. "COME ON....THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU AND I. I'M TRYING TO SAVE OUR KIDS", Ben yelled and Alexandra finally followed him telling the kids to follow. It hurt him when he said our kids knowing he could feel Miranda's pain. This wasn't right, this wasn't how he wanted a family especially if it wasn't with the only woman who makes his heart beat.

"We need to get inside", she said and Ben looked back down the beach wondering about Miranda. He was torn in between going to go find her and being with his kids.

By the time they all made it into the room another wave was slamming up onto the beach. "Me and the kids will take this bed and you can have the other one."

Ben tired to stay up as his head was spinning about the kids and if Miranda was at least okay physically. He dozed off after staring at his wedding hand for some time.

The next morning Ben felt arms around him and he called out Miranda's name while still half asleep. "Miranda?!", Ben said turning on his back and grabbing his head because it was pounding.

"You just found out about your kids and all you still can think about is her", Alexandra said upset.

"Why are you in this bed Alex?", Ben said getting up.

"Isn't she divorcing you anyway? And look at our kids Benjamin they need you, they need me and us."

"I don't know what Miranda's and I status is right now, but either way I don't want you Alex. All I want is to get to know my kids and that's it."

"How are you going to do that? You're not taking my children from me Benjamin, to be with that woman."

"She's not just that woman, she's my wife."

"A wife who can't give you children! We would've had at least 3-4 more kids Ben. I know it's not you so it must be her."

"DON'T TALK ABOUT MY WIFE! WHATEVER GOD HAS FOR US WILL COME!", Ben said raising his voice waking up the kids.
