ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON TEN

Episode 91

" It is alright," Spencer said once again as he sat in his wheelchair in their upstairs bedroom. It wasn't , really. He had been so looking forward to making love with DuBuis but the last thing he wanted was to hurt or belittle or disappoint his husband and friend. " It really is. We tried. We can still do everything else. I don't care. "

DuBuis laughed bitterly as he paced slowly about the bedroom. " It's not alright! ," he snapped. ". It's not, Spencer. And you do care. You know you do. Give me the common respect of the truth, ok ? I disappointed you. I'm ssssorry. Hell , I'm the sorriest thing in the room right now. "

" I know you won't drop ......"

" No. You don't know that, Spencer. You think I will drop our daughter. " Suddenly DuBuis felt really angry. Angry enough to hit a wall. " I can pick up our baby damn it. I'm not that helpless, ok. "
