Josh POV

I am watching Rachel roll Colleen away. She hates me now because I tried to save her. HER! My wife. I would love to have another child but not if my wife dies in the process. I walk behind Rachel after getting off the floor and follow behind them. The doctor is passing me prescriptions to get filled for her as I get up. Everyone is in shock on what happened. I hop in the backseat behind Colleen who is sitting in the passenger side as Rachel drives us. I reach my hands around to her shoulders lightly. "Baby I am sorry. I want to keep you with me" I say crying. She takes my hands off of her shoulders, "Don't touch me Josh!" she says. I see Rachel turn around and sympathetically look at me as she turns back around to continue driving. We pull into the driveway at home and I let Rachel help Colleen out and walk her into the house. "Rachel I am going to the pharmacy" I say as I slide into my car. Rachel nods and smiles as they walk through the door. Colleen never looks at me.

I go to the pharmacy and get all of her meds filled. As I start driving back I loose my sadness and start getting angry. I realize I did what was right. Colleen is acting irrational and is taking it out on me. I walk into the front door and see Colleen sitting with the kids on the couch. They all look at me and Lily and Noah run to me. I pick them up and hug them and walk over to the kitchen and grab a water bottle. I feel Rachel come up behind me and hug me. "Thanks Rachel. Her meds are on the counter" I whisper. "I just finished yelling at her" she says smiling. I nod and take my water and go back to the man cave without saying a word to Colleen.

I sit on my couch in the man cave and go through my emails for work as I hear the doorknob turn. I look up and see Colleen walk in slowly. I look back down to my laptop and ignore her basically. She sits on the couch beside me staring at me. "Why are you here Colleen? Cause you want to talk?" I ask coldly. "Joshua I was upset. I am sorry" she says getting upset. "I was upset too and you didn't seem to care earlier when I wanted to talk about saving your life. I am not just a boyfriend! I am your husband. It is my child too and how dare you call me not a real father. I don't think I can ever get those words out of my head" I say sobbing. I hear her crying as well. "I know Josh...please!....I am sorry" she says. I look at her unable to be strong any longer and I grab for her. She sits on my lap and we hug silently for the next 10 minutes as we cry. I am angry,sad and upset all in one. Terrible day.
