Connor opened his door and both Ava and Peter entered.
"Where's yours?" Connor asked.
"Our son is with your Dad" Peter said. "He wanted to spend time with him. God I love your dad."
"Why didn't I just ask him to sit for me?" Connor asked.
"Connor we don't mind" Ava said. "We love Mason and Stacy. Just go find Jude."
"I was going to ask Alex and Brandon" Connor said. "But I said something not so nice to Alex the other day."
"Yeah you might want to watch the dead friend comments" Ava said.
"I see he told you" Connor said.
"Actually he didn't" Ava said. "Daria did. But go to New York and bring your husband home."
Connor smiled.
Jamie and Mitch sit in the movies together.
"This is great" Mitch said. "Just hanging with one of my best friends."
Jamie smiled.
"Yeah" Jamie replied.
"So Ashley and Kenneth have gotten serious" Mitch said. "I'm happy for them."
"Yeah me too. "
Mitch nodded.
"So" Mitch said. "This movie is.."
"I know very gay" Jamie said.
"I was actually going to say very romantic" Mitch smiled. Mitch acted like he yawned and put his arm around Jamie. Jamie blushed.
Mitch then leaned in and kissed Jamie. Jamie kissed him right back.
They then smiled at each other and kissed again.
In New York, Connor knocked on a door and Jonas opened the door.
"Where is he?" Connor snapped. "I'm here for my husband and I'm not leaving until I get him."
"Fine come in dumbass" Jonas smirked.
Connor entered and sat on the couch.
"Jude there's a piece of trash here to see you!" Jonas called.
Connor gave Jonas a look and Jonas smiled.
"Sorry I didn't mean that" Jonas smirked. "Oh wait yes I did."
Jude entered the room and was shocked to see Connor there.
"What are you doing here?" Jude asked crossing his arms.
"I'm going to go down to the bar" Jonas said. "And give you two some privacy."
Jonas walked out.
"Did you sleep with him?" Connor asked.
"Do you really want to know the answer to that, Connor?" Jude asked.
"No" Connor said. "Jude why are you running away from me? It's like your saying everything we risked to be together meant nothing."
"I can't keep hating myself, Connor" Jude said.
"What are you talking about?" Connor asked.
"I ruined your marriage" Jude cried. "I almost ruined Alex's life. Don't you get that?"
"Jude I gladly cheated with you" Connor said. "And besides Alex has Brandon now and yes its completely fucked up in so many ways but at least their happy. They love each other. Just like I love you. And I want you home. I don't care what happened between you and Jonas I just want you to come home."
"What if I can't forgive myself?" Jude asked.
"Maybe you feel guilty because you never actually talked about it to Alex" Connor said. "Sure you two joke around and discuss it but you two never sat down and had a serious conversation about it. Maybe if you did you would feel better. I can't lose you. I need you and so do our kids."
Jude nodded.
"I'm not sure."
Ava walked into the living room and sat next to Peter.
"I'm so glad we helped Connor" Ava said. "Kids are so cute."
Peter laughed.
"Yeah they are" Peter said. "I bet Alex and Brandon are excited about being parents soon."
"They have to be" Ava said. "The feeling of becoming a parent is the best feeling in the world. I'm happy for them."
Peter smiled.
"Me too" Peter said smiling.
The next day in New York, Connor walked into the kitchen to see Jonas eating cereal naked.
"Are you naked?" Connor asked. "Get some clothes on."
"My apartment, Connor" Jonas said. "I sleep naked and I eat naked. Usually there isn't a bunch of people in my place."
Jude entered.
"Connor we have to talk" Jude said.
"Well I'm going to eat in my room" Jonas said standing up. "Naked."
Jonas walked off.
"I don't know if I should go" Jude said. "A part of me is scared but a part of me does want to give us another chance. But I'm scared."
"So am I" Connor said. "I'm scared your going to leave again. But please come home, Jude. I need you there. Without you my life won't make sense. So please come home. What do you say?"
Jude's phone rings.
"It's Alex" Jude said.
Connor rolled his eyes. He was now angry that Alex had to interrupt.
"Hello?" Jude asked. "Oh my god okay were on our way. Bye see you soon." Jude hung up. "Alex said that their baby is on the way. We have to go now."
The two rush out. Connor realized Jude chose to come back after a phone call with Alex. Maybe Jude would forgive himself and stay home. He just hoped that was what would happen. He couldn't lose Jude again. He just couldn't.
