     Elena stared at Sally preparing to tell her, her news. Sally waited sipping her coffee
"Elena..."she said
Elena sighed "When you called to meet I debated telling you because I didn't know..."
"The state I'd be in" she said for her "Elena what's up"
Just then Wes started crying both Sally and Elena looked over
"He is probably hungry he's still on California time"Sally joked as she picked him up and began feeding him his bottle "You were saying" she told her to continue
"While you were away I got this amazing job offer.. to run one of the top hospitals in the country"she told her as she smiled at Wes who was staring at her as he ate
"Oh wow"Sally was surprised "Congratulations..where D. C., New York" Sally guessed as she was getting choked up
"Funny enough California" she smiled
Sally was speechless
"You okay Sally"Elena asked
"Ya.. I was just caught off guard. I wasn't expecting you to say that"she smiled
Elena gave a small chuckle "Neither was I when you revealed your move"she said
Sally got tears in her eyes
"Sally what is it.."Elena asked
"I thought I was going lose seeing my best friend" Sally said looking down at Wes
Elena reached for her hand "Sally look at me"she did "You could never lose me"she smiled at her. Elena looked at Wes "Wes tell your mommy she's stuck with me"she chuckled
Sally smiled "I'm sorry I'm just.." she placed Wes in his stroller "Still overcoming this battle and need all my people around me"she rested against her hand " I know I have no right after what I put you all through"
"Sally" Elena started in a soft tone "Once we realized what was going on..all we wanted was for you to be okay and we would be here when we needed us"she told her "But it wasn't easy for him"
"I know"Sally said looking over at Sharon who was helping a customer
Elena's phone went off "Oh I need to get going to finalize the job.I'll call you later"she told and kissed her cheek
"Bye"Sally smiled
Elena tickled Wes "Bye bye Wes" she said then left
Sally then took a deep breath then walked over to Sharon. Sharon smiled at her
"Hey, Sally do you need a refill"she asked
Sally looked down and shook her head "No.. I came over because I need apologize"she told her
"Oh Sally you don't.."
"Yes I do Sharon"Sally interrupted "I was awful to you.. you didn't deserve that"she said
"You were going through a lot"
"That might be true.. but I blamed you at first and it wasn't right because you know the signs of..."
"It's quite alright but really it's good to see you doing well Sally"
Sally looked down " I never really considered I could have postpartum depression..I snapped at you when I should have thanked you" she took a deep breath
"It was never my intention to upset you that day Sally. I felt awful for making you bolt.. for that I am sorry"she said softly
"All honestly Sharon it wasn't you who made me bolt .. I actually was already planning on leaving"she looked down at Wes who was playing with the things on his stroller "Taking him wasn't a part of that plan. I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I wanted so badly to have what Adam had.. with him" she told him
"Well"she smiled "It looks like you have it now"she smiled
"Ya I got help.. I'm still not 100%.. but if it wasn't for you that day .. I'd probably still be away"she smiled at her
Sharon reached for her hand "I'm happy for you .. and Adam"
"Speaking of Adam .. can you help me with something"she asked
******************
Sally peered into Adam's office, he was on the phone his back to her
"Yes, we are so excited for this new location"he said "Sally will be excited to see her new office I probably will have to force her to come home.. yes her new line will be epic. Alright we will talk soon"he hung up and spun around and saw her standing there
"Well this is a nice surprise"a huge smile came across his face
"Well.. I thought"she began as she entered the office "An in person visit was better than a video chat"she held up the bag of food "I also brought you lunch" she smiled
Adam stood up and came over to her, placed his hand on her side and gave her a quick kiss
"What did you bring me" he tried to peak in the bag
"All your fav" she smiled pulling the bag away from him "With a Biscuit on the side" she chuckled
Adam chuckled too and picked his son "Wesley Newman, this is a big day for you.. this is the place you were born"he told him "Well not this room"he added giving him a bunch of kisses "Maybe some day you'll be running this place"
Sally began to set up their lunch as Adam gave Wes a tour
"So I just saw Elena"she said
"Oh ya how that go" he asked turning to look at her
"Better then expected, you'll never guess what she told me"
"What's that" he asked
"She got a new job.... in LA" she said
Adam was in shock "Wow"he played with Wes's hand "I wonder why she never mentioned it to me"
"She probably wanted to tell me first"
**************
They sat on the couch and ate their food. Adam was holding Wes as he ate Sally smiled
"So you finalized the company"she asked "And my line"she added
Adam looked up at her "Oh I'm sorry I never considered it.. do you even want to continue with your line"
"Ya I do" she smiled "You I actually sketched a little while I was away ... some days I don't even know how I did"
"Because it's in your dna Sal, will you show me them"he asked feeding her
Sally nodded
"So another thing we need to discuss is do you want to start as soon as we move. I mean you can take as much time as you need"
"We need to enroll the girls in school and find a daycare or nanny for this one" she pointed her fork at Wes
"Oh so you want to do a nanny" Adam was a little surprised
"I don't know Adam it's different because the daycare isn't in the new building. Let me ask you, what do you want to do Adam"
"I don't know but all I know is I don't want to be away from him anymore then I have to be"he said looking at Wes and stroking his cheek
That stung Sally she put her food down and looked at the ground
Adam looked at her "Sal, you okay"he asked softly
Sally didn't say anything she got up and went to the window
"I know you didn't mean it to hurt me. But I took him away from you"she began to cry "I was selfish"
Adam felt bad he placed Wes in his stroller before going to Sally. He placed his hand on her shoulders
"I'm sorry" he kissed the back of her head "You are right I didn't say it to hurt you. I just don't want to be the dad who misses milestones of our last baby. We had the girls in this building until school.. I want them same for him"
"I know" she leaned against him, wrapped his arms around her tightly "It's gonna be so weird. We made so many memories here" she turned around "With and without our babies"she wrapped her arms around his neck
"We did .. we fell in love here"he told her then began to kiss her "And if our son wasn't here I'd suggest we make one last memory here for old times sake" he said kissing her neck
"Adam.."she moaned "Then you shouldn't kiss me where I go weak at the knees for you"she said pulling out of his hold
"I'm sorry"he said
"I'm gonna go freshen up, you good with him" she asked rubbing Adam's chest
"Yes us boys are good. I might even give him a taste of his first brownie" he smirked
"Don't you dare"she laughed as she left
*************
A few minutes later Sally returned and stopped as she saw Adam with Wes at the copier, he was scanning their hands. She leaned against the doorway and looked on
"Oh this is getting framed Biscuit"he said kissing his cheek
Sally loved watching Adam being a dad
"Hopefully you'll get the bug to work here.. your big brother didn't"
"You know your daughters might want to work here"Sally said
"You are absolutely right. My money is on Eden" he smiled. He then looked at her "Are you okay"
Sally nodded "Ya" she let out a deep breath "I should get him home for his afternoon nap"she said packing up his diaper bag "And let you get back to work"
Adam nodded and put Wes in his stroller "Okay Biscuit I'll see you later. I loved you coming to see me"
Sally watched "Who knows he might be awake for you when you get home" she said
Adam smiled "Thank you for this .. this was the best lunch I had in a long time" he pulled her into him and kissed her
"Well I'm glad I could make your day"she said wiping her lipstick off his lips
*************
Later on as Wes was napping Sally tried to get some sketching done. When Coco returned l, Mazie and Haddie ran in and over to Sally hugging her before going upstairs
"Girls, your brother is sleeping.. keep it down a little"
Coco came in carrying a sleeping Eden. Sally chuckled because Eden wasn't a nap girl unless she was sick
"You can put her over on the couch" Sally pointed as she got up from her desk
Sally and Coco walked into the kitchen. Sally offer her sister a drink
"It's the least I could do since you took my crazy kids for the day" she laughed
"Sure"Coco sat on the stool
Sally handed her the glass and sighed "Go ahead say what's on your mind"
"Do you know how worried we all were. When Adam told me I couldn't believe it. I wanted to get on a plane and get to you"Coco said
"I know" Sally said "I'm sorry"
"I get not wanting your husband to help .. but I'm your sister Sally. It's my job to help and look after you"
Sally nodded
"And to find out that Wyatt Spencer was helping you out of all the people who love you, you chose him"
"I didn't choose him Coco."
"Does Adam know your history because clearly if he did he would've been cool with it"
"Adam knows everything about me Coco, you know that"Sally told her getting annoyed
Coco looked at her glass for a second "You know I didn't want to bring this up with Adam .."
"Bring what up Coco"Sally asked
"It feels like last time"she said
"What last time"Sally was confused
"When you faked an illness to get a guy back .. the same guy who coincidentally helped this time"
Sally slammed her glass down "I didn't fake this Coco" she was angry "You honestly think I wanted this"she began to pace "I felt so disconnected to my own son...."
"Sally ...but why Wyatt"
"Why are doing this Coco. why are acting like I did this on purpose. I have the love of my life"
"You left him .. you took your son and you left"
Sally ran her hands through her hair "Oh my God. I didn't leave him I left to get help Coco. Yes I'm aware I could have got it here. But you have know idea the mess I felt... I felt like I failed my husband. I couldn't connect with my son Coco, I wasn't thinking of going to another man. And for you to even suggest that hurts, my own sister"
Coco came over and hugged her sister "I'm sorry"
Sally pushed away after
"I should get going"Coco told her
"Coco, you should know we moving"she shot at her
Coco was in shock "What.., why"she asked
"The main reason is N+S is expanding, but another factor is this isn't a good place for us right now"she told her
"Wow I moved here for you to be close"Coco said
"That was years ago Coco. I loved having you here with my family, my kids love you but things change"
"Nothing changes with you Sally.."
"What's that supposed to mean" Sally was confused
"Things get tough with you,you runaway"
"It's not running away Coco, Adam's father .. he hates that Adam is standing by me"Sally said
"Mommy" Eden said all sleepy "I'm hungry"she told her rubbing her eyes
"Okay" she said picking her up. Eden laid her head on Sally's shoulder
"Aunt Coco are you staying for dinner
"Not tonight Eddy" she smiled kissing her cheek
Coco gave her sister a look before leaving
****************
Coco ran into Adam on her way out
"She told me" Coco said
"About our move"he said "Why do you look so mad"
"Because it's not a good decision Adam"she said
"Look you don't know my father well Coco, but you know your sister right" he asked
Coco nodded
"Genoa City .. right now isn't the best place for her or us. I really hope you will understand"
"I want to Adam I do, but I'm afraid you are trying to put her in this bubble because you don't want her break again"
"It's not a bubble .. not when it's LA you know how she is there"
Coco was surprised "You guys moving to LA"
"She didn't tell you that part" he asked
"No she left out that detail" she told him
"I wonder why"he said
Coco shook her head and left. Adam stood there watching before heading inside
******************
He found Sally and Eden in the kitchen, Sally was still holding her, she clung to her mom as she cooked
"There are two of my fav girls" Adam said giving them both a kiss on their heads
"Hi daddy" Eden said
"I saw Coco as she was leaving" he said tasting the food "She mentioned you told her about the move"
Sally didn't respond she just nodded
Adam wanted a moment alone with her
"Hey Bug can you go wash up for dinner and tell your sisters to do the same"
"You want to talk to mommy"she said
Adam taped her noses knowing he couldn't get past her
Sally placed her down and continued to cook
Eden skipped out of the room
"Thanks Eden" he laughed leaning against the counter
A couple seconds later Eden came back in
"Daddy don't yell at Mommy.. I didn't like Aunt Coco yelling at her" she ran out of the room
Adam gave Sally a worried look "Sally, is that true did she yell you"
Sally looked at him and bursted into tears
Adam pulled her into him and let her cry
