Couple's Therapy

A Separate Connection: Session 12 & 13

Miranda and Ben were back on schedule forwards seeing Chelsea and we're back to doing a little better.

"Hello!", Miranda said answering her phone.

"Mrs. Warren is Mr. Warren with you?", Chelsea asked over the phone.

"Yes, hold on", she said putting the phone on speaker. "You're on speaker go ahead."

"Well I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you two for getting where you are today regarding yall marriage. It hasn't been easy nor will it get easy, but I have faith in you two forwards working harder, so with that being said Miranda I'll see you tomorrow morning at 9am and then Benjamin I'll see you tomorrow at 11am."

"We're counseling separately now?", Miranda asked.

"Just for this session and then back to normal. I have somethings to work on regarding you two individually which I'm hoping will help you two together. Are yall okay with that?"

They looked at each other and both said yeah.

"Okay then see you tomorrow and I want you two to sleep separately."

"Is there a reason why?", Ben asked.

"Isn't there always one", Chelsea said. "Goodnight Mr. & Mrs. Warren."

"I can sleep on the couch", Ben said.

"No I want to sleep with you tonight!", Miranda pouted.

"Miranda you heard what she said."

"I know, I just want to be up under you."

"Come here!", he said and she crawled and laid on top of him and he held her.

The next morning Miranda woke up and got in the shower, dressed and headed towards the front door. "I'll see you later Ben", Miranda said walking over to the couch and kissing his lips.

"Okay see you later", he kissed back then turned over going back to sleep.

"Good morning Miranda!", Chelsea said as she walked into her office. "Have a seat how did you sleep?"

Miranda sat down. "Horrible. I missed my husband. I couldn't really sleep", she yawned.

"Are you ready for today?"

"No!"

"Haha why not?", she said while grabbing her keys.

"Because I don't know what you're up to."

"But you're here so you obviously trust me!"

"Something like that unfortunately", she yawned again.

"You really can't sleep without your husband can you?"

"No", she pouted. "And he can't without me", she slowly nodded off to sleep as Chelsea came back to sit across from Miranda.

"Now tell me how have you really been doing? Take your time put your feet up and just talk to me regular."

Miranda exhaled trying to get comfortable. "I'm scared. I'm scared that with all of the progress me and Benjamin have made....I'm scared that we are going to slip back into what almost separated us. What if something else comes up and we can't fix it or it completely destroys us?"

"Miranda you can't think like that."

"Well how am I suppose to think when I'm afraid to say how I really feel around my own husband. I'm walking on eggshells at home because I don't want to ruin our progress, but if I don't then it's like I never learned anything and everything you did for us was a waste."
