The last week of filming has started, as i look around me i can't help but feel a little proud of all the hard work everyone has been doing the last few months. Flo is at home with Oscar. The day after her birthday we had an appointment with the detective, and she identified Kayla as the woman who had broken in. Thank God the judge didn't let her get out on bail and she was still locked up until the trial. It was like a weight has been lifted and Flo was slowly getting back to her happy go lucky self again. 

I smile as my phone dinged and Flo sends me another video of Oscar crawling the dogs never far behind. From the moment he started they were baffled the little human could move. 

We finish up for the day and i make my way home. I walk through the house and smile as i find Flo and Oscar in the pool floating around. Flo looks up and me and smiles. "Look who is there Oscar... Dada." I wave and smirk. "I'll be right back..." I say on go to the bedroom to put on some swimwear. 

I walked back and jumped in the pool Oscar squealing and laughing. I swim over to them and Flo hands me Oscar and i kiss her. "Where you having fun with mommy in the pool buddy?" I ask him and he babbles something back at me. I play around bobbing him up and down in the water and he is loving it. 

The dogs run around the pool all excited jumping in the pool running out and jumping in again making Oscar squeal even more. We play around a bit more until it is time for dinner for all of us. I feed Oscar sitting in the kitchen while Flo is cooking us dinner. 

"Chris?" Flo says looking at me. "Yes baby?" I say looking at her. "I know normally when you are done filming, we stay around for another week... But i really miss Boston do you think we just can go back as soon as you're done." She says blushing. "Yeah, we can go home after the wrap party..." I say smiling. "I can't miss that...." I say apologetic. 

"I know... I would never ask you to but i dont want to be here another week. I just want to go home." She sighs.  I smile at her. "I am also thinking about selling the clinic..." She says and i look at her shocked. "Are you sure?" She shrugs her shoulders. "I am never there and to be honest i dont really want to go back... The thought of missing out on Oscar growing up... And even though i am never there and someone else is leading i am still owner and everything is my responsibility...." Flo says letting out a sigh. 

"I thought this was your dream..." I say looking at her. "Dreams change..." She says smiling "Besides it's not like i need the money with the money i inherited.... And i know that one of the vets really would like to buy me out..." She says looking at me. 

"Are you really sure?" I ask her a little worried because i never had heard about this before. She nods. "Yeah, I just wanted to talk to you about it... I mean i dont want to make a decision without your input...  Because it would mean i would be a stay-at-home mom...are you okay with that?" She says looking at me unsure. 

I smile and walk over to her with Oscar on my arm. "Baby i dont care if you work... or stay home with the kids.... If this is what you want i support, you. But to be on the record you dont have to stop working on my account...." She smiles and gives me a quick kiss. "I know i dont have to... i want to.... Besides i can sell and talk about working there whenever i want... So, i can keep my vet license. But i dont want the responsibility for the clinic anymore. I just love the life i have now and you and Oscar are enough for now...." She says smiling. "Just promise me whenever you want to go back to work you will let me know and we can work together to make that happen." I say looking at her serious wanting her to know that.

"I promise..." She said smiling kissing me again and she looks relieved. "I will contact my lawyer and when we are back in Boston i will start the procedures..." She says and she looks somehow lighter as if a big load fell off of her shoulders. I nod and kiss her again. "Oscar starts to get fussy so i am going to give him a bath and put him down for the night...." I say smiling. "Okay." she says smiling at me. "Love you baby..." She says to Oscar as she kisses his little hands. 

After i am done and Oscar is asleep i walk to the kitchen where Flo is just plating up the food. "It smells great..." I say smiling. We eat and after dinner we cleanup. We end up on the couch just relaxing both of us reading a book completely content sitting in comfortable silence. 

Flo has fallen asleep and i feel myself getting sleepy to so i put our books away and lift Flo from the couch carrying her to bed. I can't help but worry a bit about her, she wants to sell the clinic...She has so much work put into building it up and somehow i feel guilty for the fact that she hasn't worked much at it. I dont want her to resent me and she says she won't but what if she will in the future.  I lay there awake with Flo in my arms the woman who i love more than life itself she is asleep looking beautiful and so at peace. She came up with this idea herself i think to myself so i have nothing to worry about right... I am just overthinking this... It's her decision. I just want her to be happy. 

I sigh as i pull Flo closer kissing the top of her head. "I love you baby more then you will ever know..." I whisper to her even though she is asleep and can't hear me. "I will always be in your corner and support you with anything you want. I will move heaven and earth so you will be happy." I murmur.  I can feel my eyes getting heavy and soon i fall asleep
