Gregory: have you talked to her ?
Oliver:nope(sighs) it's been 4 months and she won't answer my calls, she leaves me on read, she won't even update me about the baby and how the appointments are going
Gregory: well son I admit you messed up and it's gone take time for her to trust you again. I went through the same thing with your mother, it was 3 years before she finally took me back, but I never stopped fighting for our marriage and now look at us
Oliver: I don't want to lose my wife, I want to go home, I wanna be there with my kids. It's killing me not being able to hear her voice and wake up to her kisses. The kids update me on little stuff but I want to be there for her
Gregory: I get it, trust me I do. But you gotta realize cheating is one thing, but you got that other woman pregnant, Charmaine gone hurt for a long time
Oliver: but I don't want it to be 3 years before she forgives me.
Gregory; everything just takes time son
