Her bag was almost full when I walked in and she was still filling it.

"Cammy, what are you doing?" I asked, my voice wavering as if I was about to cry. I might just start.

"Leaving. I'm going to my mother's. Looks like she's going to meet the twins whether I like it or not." She explained, herself struggling to be controlled. From anger or sadness, I couldn't tell. I wouldn't be surprised if it was both.

"Cam, listen to me. She came on to me. She kissed me."

"Yeah but there were two pairs of lips at work. One of them most definitely was yours." She zipped the bag and threw on a coat. She pushed passed me out of the room and down the stairs. I went after her.

"Cam, it wasn't my fault! I'm sorry!" It was though, I should've pushed her off. She turned with a smile on her face.

"Oh, you're sorry? Then I guess I should just forgive you!" Her smiled disappeared and she stormed out the door. Again I followed her.

"Cam, please!" I'm a fucking idiot. She threw the bag in one of the cars and then went back inside. "You're taking my children?"

She had Zoe in her arms. She felt her diaper and then went back outside. I quickly grabbed Cole and followed her.

"Cam, why are you leaving? Please just hear me out!" I called.

She came up to me and looked me in the eyes. They were filled with tears and anger. She took Cole out of my arms and then put him in the car. I followed her again.

"Please!" I grabbed her shoulders and yanked her out of the car to look at me. She hooked her hands on my arms and pulled them off, lingering with her hands in mine before she let go and got in the car.

I looked in my hands as she pulled out of the driveway. Her wedding ring was sitting on my palm. I clutched it and fell to my knees. Fuck. I'm such a fucking idiot. She's gone. Great fucking job, Armstrong.

Cam

I wiped my eyes as I drove down the street. I saw him fall to his knees as he realized what I left in his hand. That really got to me. The twins were surprisingly happy.

I pulled into Tre's driveway and honked once. Tre appeared at the window and then was immediately helping me out of the car.

"What happened? Yell Tre what happened." He said calmly. I walked around the car and got in the passenger side.

"Can you take us to the airport?" I asked. He nodded and got in. On the way to the airport, I told him what happened.

"If all they did was kiss, then shouldn't you cut him some slack?" He suggested.

"If don't know Tre. The way you explained what happened between them, the more I thought he might still be in love with her. And it's too late now. I just want to go home."

He nodded and he helped me get tickets and ge the babies ready for the flight and he waited in line until I got on the plane.

"Cam!" Called Billie from somewhere. I looked around and he was coming toward me. "Don't go! Please come back."

Tre stepped in front of him and held him back.

"Back off man, give her some space." Tre said.

"But she's my wife! Her space is with me! Cam please. I love you, not her!"

"How can I be sure, though?" I asked, feeling the tears come again. The lady on the intercom called for me to board the plane. I looked at Billie. He was in pain. I was really hurting him. The last time we were in this situation, I was told him I was pregnant. "I love you, Billie Joe."

That was the last thing I said to him before I boarded the plane.

I called my mom from the plane and asked her to help me. I explained most of what had happened and that I had my babies with me. She was happy for me and excited that I was coming home for Thanksgiving.

Billie

"Tre, what the fuck are you doing? You're letting her get away!" I exclaimed, fighting against Tre. I was too late because when I looked out the window, the plane was taking off. I collapsed in his arms. "She's gone. She's fucking gone. I'm such a fucking idiot. I only let her kiss me because I had to know! Damn the fucking want of knowledge!"

"What did you have to know Billie? What could possibly be important to know?" Tre asked angrily, pushing me out of his arms.

"I had to know if I still loved her!" I admitted. I pushed away and sat on one of the seats with my face in my hands. "I'm such a fucking idiot."

I felt Tre sit next to me. "Well do you? Do you still love her?"

"No! I love Cam! She's my light, my life, my everything. Even more than Adrienne or even Amy!"

"Then why did you have to kiss her and fuck up what was good? Why couldn't you just guess?"

"I'm a fucking idiot, that's why!"

He put his hand on my back and rubbed it. "It'll be ok. I know for a fact that Cam loves you. And you love her. Give her a little time to think if she can forgive you."

"I wouldn't put it past her if she didn't."

"She will. Just, give it time. Maybe the day. Fly out tomorrow if she doesn't come back."

"Thanks Tre. Now I see why she went to you earlier this year."

"Tre's therapy never fails."
