~10 years later~

It's been a crazy ten years. Andrew has grown a lot and in the process I've grown a lot too. I am now a successful 30 year old psychologist/writer.

My life has been pretty great if I do say so myself. 

Ross has been a great father towards Andrew and I'm very greatful for that. Even if we aren't together he always helps me out with Andrew and does favors for me.

Right now I'm in the middle of making dinner when I hear rattling of keys, barking from Charley and opening of a door, it's Andrew that came home from seeing his dad.

Andrew is now 13, he's a teenager, he looks exactly like Ross and he is really tall. He's asked us multiple times when he was younger why we weren't together and we've always tried to explain it the best way possible, but I have a feeling he knows we aren't saying the full truth.

"Hey mom." He says throwing his book bag on the table and grabbing a bag of chips from the cupboard.

"Hey Drew. How was your dads? And can you not eat that? I'm in the middle of cooking dinner."

"It was good. Can I ask you something?" He ask setting the bag of chips back in the cupboard like I asked him to. He's pretty obedient for a 13 year old.

"Sure." I say shrugging. "I know I ask this a lot but why is it that you and dad have pictures of each other all over the house yet you're not together?"

Here goes that question again.

"Because believe it or not we were once a very happy couple. But sometimes life makes us face obstacles that make us realize things." I tell him and he nods furrowing his eyebrows just like Ross.

"Was it because of me? Did you guys split because of me?"

"What? No. how could you ever think that?" I shake my head. "Then why? Because every time I ask, you guy always bullshit your answer." He raises his voice and frowns.

"first off watch your mouth. Second lower your voice and third the only reason why we don't tell you the full truth is because you don't need to know. The only thing you need to know is that there will never be anything between us again and we are just your parents."

I swear to god if Ross told him something I will personally go to his house and beat his ass.

"Oh come on. Mom, I see the way you look at him, you look like two teenagers in love. You think I don't notice that?"

"Andrew that's because yes I still love him and he still loves me but it will never work out." I tell him pulling at my roots.

"Why not?" He groans in frustration. I sigh and take a deep breath. "Because every time we get together he ends up cheating on me and then when we break up he says he wants me back and that he will never do what he did again but he does. That's why Andrew." I say letting it all out.

"I-I'm sorry." He mumbles and I shake my head not wanting to look at him. "It's okay. It's not your fault." I say letting a few tears fall.

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Andrew says and walks out of the kitchen.

I wipe the tears off my eyes and walk toward the door as well. Outside was Ross in one knee and a velvet box in his hand.

"I know I've done some very stupid things, some that you might never forgive me for but I love you and I always have. I've always wanted to spend my whole life with you, you're the reason I feel whole. I know that if I ask you for your hand you'll say no. So this is a promise, a promise not only for you but for myself as well. In these past few years I've grown and I've realize that the worst mistake I have ever done is cheat on you constantly. I'm a really big asshole for that. But will you give me one last chance to prove to you that I can be the person you want by your side? Will you be my girlfriend?"

My eyes widen. Why does he have to do this in front of our son. I look at Andrew and he mouths a yes. I sigh squeezing my eyes shut. "I'll think about it." I say giving him a small smile and they both cheer.

"Why don't you come in for dinner?" I ask as he stands up straight. "Sure, I'd love to." I let him in and we all went towards the kitchen. He helped me finish dinner while Andrew set the table.

After eating we decided to watch a movie. It was me on one side Ross in the middle and Andrew on the other side. At one point I looked to my right to see the two boys next to me and I felt something weird in my stomach.

I pushed it to the back of my mind and continue watching the movie. During the middle of the movie I fell asleep and the next morning woke up from a really weird dream.

Im done hiding these feelings.

After Andrew left for school I got into my car and drove to Ross. After knocking twice I wait patiently until he answers.

"Sydney, what brings-" I cut him off by crashing my lips to his. He immediately kissed back with twice the passion. I tangle my fingers into his hair as he gently lays his hands on my waist pulling me closer towards him. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." I mumble into the kiss and he tightens his grip on me. "Really?" He ask pulling away out of breath.

I nod my head and he smiles capturing my lips in his once again. "What made you realize it?" He asks pulling away and creasing my cheek.

"Believe it or not, a dream I had last night." I giggle and tangle my fingers in his hair again.

"Truth is, it's been hell without you even if you hurt me. I love you and that is never going to change. I know that you're sorry and I am too."
