Our Love Always Finds A Way

"She took Bentley for a walk or more like he took her"

    Adam and Sally were still sitting on the couch Eden was still hugging Sally tightly, she looked down at her daughter
"Adam what's going on"she asked looking back up at him
Before Adam could respond they were interrupted by the doorbell
"That could be Connor I don't think we gave him a key yet"Adam said
Eden perked up "Can I get it"she asked
"Sure"he told her
Eden jumped off Sally's lap and ran to the door
"But we are coming with you"she said following her
Eden opened the door with a huge smile on her face it faded when she saw someone she didn't know
"You're not Connor"she said disappointed
"No I am not"he chuckled
"Wyatt this is surprise, what brings you by" Sally asked grabbing this door to open it more
He held up a jacket "After you left I noticed one of your girls left this behind. So I thought I bring it by"he told her handing it to her
Adam came up to them "After you left"he asked Sally giving her a questionable look
"Oh we ran into him at the restaurant while we were out to lunch"she told him
"Oh nice" he said placing his hands on Eden's shoulders
"Wyatt this is my youngest daughter Eden. Eden this is mommy's good friend Wyatt"Sally said
The name Wyatt set something off in Eden she stepped forward
"You're Wyatt"she asked
"Yes I am"he held out his hand "It's nice to meet you"he smiled
Eden then pushed him " LEAVE US ALONE and STAY AWAY FROM MY MOMMY, YOU CAN'T HAVE HER "she yelled
Eden ducked Sally's arm and  ran away leaving both her parents in shock
"Wyatt I'm so sorry I don't know what's gotten into her that's not like her"Sally said
"Sally it's okay"he reassured her "I hope she's okay. Have a good day"he said then left
Sally closed the door and looked at Adam in disbelief "Oh my God Adam, we need to go talk to her how it's not okay to put her hands on anyone"" she started to head up
Adam grabbed her wrist "No not yet"
"Yes now"she gave him a stern look
"No right now I need to talk to you .. it's why Eden just did that"he said
   Sally came down the step she was on Adam headed into the living room Sally following behind him
"We will have a discussion with her on  how it's not okay but her feelings are totally valid Sally"he says down
"Feelings about what"she asked
"Our daughter she heard your sister"he told her
Sally got a shocked look on her face
"She may not know the details but she heard Wyatt's name and to her he is the bad guy trying to take the princess away from the prince"he said
Sally gasped and sat on the couch "Oh no. Why didn't she say anything that she heard us"Sally asked
"She kind of did at first when she told me not to yell at you but"he paused and looked down "I don't think she understood what she heard. It has been bugging her because while you were out she had a nightmare and I also think this is why her stomach hurt today."
Sally was in tears "How did I miss this Adam..how do I fix this"
Adam slid over to her "This is a "we" thing and we talk to her"he rubbed her shoulder "We explain who Wyatt is and let her know he isn't the bad guy" he said
Sally nodded "Okay" she wiped her tears away "Um do you mind if I go talk to her alone first"she asked
Adam kisses her forehead "As much as I want to be team on this .. go ahead"
Sally gave him a small smile then went to her daughter's room
                 ****************
     Sally opened the door and found her daughter laying on her bed her back towards the door she heard her sniffling
"Eden Rain"Sally said in a stern voice
Eden turned over and looked at her mom
"What you did down there was not okay"she told her point towards the door "We don't hit or push anyone ever"
"I'm sorry"she looked guilty
"I'm not the one who needs that apology"she sat on the bed "You will be apologizing to Wyatt is that clear"
Eden nodded "He came to take you away from us"she said all shaky
Sally's face soften "Oh Bug"she caressed her cheek "No wasn't. Daddy told me about you over hearing Aunt Coco"
"She said you left us "she said as she cried
"Come here" she gestured her come onto her lap
Eden crawled on, Sally wrapped her arms around her "Now mommy isn't gonna tell everything because that's grownup stuff. But I'll tell you this mommy isn't going anywhere and no one is taking me away"she rest her cheek against Eden's
"Then why did aunt Coco say that is she the bad witch"
Sally chuckled "No Aunt Coco was protective of mommy. Sisters do that, she was making sure mommy was okay"
Adam knocked on the door "Is it okay if I join" he asked poking his head in
Sally smiled and nodded
Adam came over and sat on the floor next to them
"Are we okay"he asked
Sally looked at Eden then they both nodded
"Good"he smiled "Now I don't know if mommy told you this yet but.. if something is bothering you or you don't understand something, you come to  mommy and daddy"he poked her tummy "That's our job bug we don't want to carry these worries alone"
Sally nodded and kissed Eden's head then looked away. Adam saw her but let it slide
"Now you do need to apologize to Wyatt young lady"he told her
"I already mentioned that daddy"Sally looked at him "How do think she should do that" she asked him
"I think she's old enough to do it in person"he said
Sally nodded
"Okay"Eden said softly looking down
"Now you are also old enough to be punished Eden"Adam said "Mommy what should that be" he asked
"For putting your hands on someone"Sally looked at Eden "No dessert for a week"
Eden was shocked but didn't say anything
"And for the rest of the night we want you to think about how you could have handle that better. And how you'd feel if someone did that to you" Adam said
"Yes daddy"she looked down
Sally set Eden back on her bed the kissed her head Adam did the same as he stood up. They walked over to the door then looked back
"We love you bug"Sally said
"Yes we do"he smiled
Adam shut her door Sally leaned against the wall and sighed crossed her arms
"You should be the one who takes her to see Wyatt"Sally told him
"Why"he asked
"Because I caused this Adam I'm the reason for all of  this"she moved her arms around
Adam grabbed onto her hands and pulled her close to him "Sal, how many time do I have to say this ... This. Isn't. On. You. Yes sometimes a rippling affect happens but we didn't know she heard anything"he said
Sally looked down and cried
"Now there's something I need to ask you Sal" he said
Sally looked up "What" she said
Just then Wes began to cry, they both looked in the direction
"He's probably hungry"she said
"I'll go feed him" he told her then kissed her cheek as he passed by her
                   ****************
   Sally was in the bathroom nervously shaking she was staring down and crying
"Sally I can't find the formula are we out" she heard Adam yell up
Sally wiped her tears "I'm coming I think I know where some is" she hollered back
Sally quickly ran out of the bedroom she wasn't paying attention and she collided with Connor
"Oh Con I'm sorry are you okay" she said
"Ya are you okay"he asked
"Yes, I need to go help you dad excuse me"she patted his shoulder then walked by
Connor looked back at her "That's not why I asked" he said even though she wasn't around
                ****************
    The girls were playing in the sand outside their back door. Adam and Sally were in the lawn chairs watching them. Wes was laying on Sally having his bottle 
"This is the life"Adam said "How do we stay in this moment forever" he asked
"We don't"she said "If we did it would be boring and you'd go crazy from not working" she chuckled
"You are probably right about that"he took her hand "This what we dreamt about Us. Them" he looked at his daughters "We have come a long way.. haven't we"
Sally smiled at him
Bentley came up to Sally and whined then nuzzled his way onto her stomach
"Oh your first boy is jealous"he said putting his sunglasses on
"Oh hush" she laughed "What's wrong Benny" she asked
He did it again
"He hasn't done that since you were pregnant with Wes"Adam said not looking at her
"Ya" she said nervously and laughed "Crazy"
               ****************
     The next morning Adam woke up to find Sally not in bed, he thought maybe she already got up with Wes. He got out of bed and went to Wes's room to find Wes still in his crib just waking up
"Good morning Biscuit"he picked him up "You truly are a Cali boy" he kissed him on his neck causing him o giggle "Oh daddy loves that sound"he smiled "Should we go find mommy"he asked walking out of the room
Adam came downstairs and was surprised to see Connor up this early he was standing at the sliding glass doors looking out
"Since when is my son an early bird" he asked
Connor looked at his dad hold Wes "Seems like both your sons are early birds"he said
" Touché"he came over "But really why are you up"
"I think something is up with Sally dad" he looked out the window
"What do you mean" he asked "Where is she"
Connor pointed "She took Bentley for a walk or more like he took her"he chuckled "She's acting off dad but not from the postpartum depression"
As a sighed "I kind of thought something was weighing on her. Just didn't have a chance yet to talk to her"he looked outside and saw her sitting by the water "Con do you mind keeping an eye on him for a bit along with your sisters"he asked
"Sure I'll even give them leftover pizza for breakfast" he said bouncing Wes
"They'll love that" he said patting Cons shoulder as he left
                      ************
    Adam made his way down to the beach, because of the loud waves Sally didn't hear him coming. He sat down beside her bringing his knees up to his chest not saying a word to her
Bentley came up between them
"Good morning Benny do you love the ocean"he asked petting him
Sally remained still and looking out at the water
Adam took a deep breath then exhaled before speaking "Sally remember me telling Eden yesterday about talking about what's bothering her"he asked
Sally didn't respond
"I noticed your body language so I know something is bothering you"he turned to face her "Babe are you okay"
Sally shook her head
"You gotta talk to me and tell me what's going on remember no more doing things alone"
"I wasn't" she finally said "Or wasn't planning it. I just needed to process this and I don't know how to tell you" she said as tears fell she still wasn't looking at him
"Tell me what Sally" he asked getting worried
Sally pulled something out of her jacket and finally looked at Adam handing him something
Adam looked down at what she placed in his hand and was in shock
"That I'm pregnant again"her voice broke

*HOW DO YOU THINK ADAM WILL REACT*
