Leon was woken up by crying which came from beside him so he fell onto his back and could hear Violetta crying her eyes out, so he leaned over her and stroked her arm.

Leon: Shh, what's wrong hmm? Why are you crying?

Violetta: I don't want to talk about it.

Leon: Baby, talk to me come on why are you crying?

Violetta: You'll just call me pathetic.

Leon: No, I won't baby I'm your husband I deserve to know what's wrong with my wife.

Violetta: Your wife Yeah well in a week when my daughter dies, you'll probably divorce me.

Leon: Huh? What makes you think that?

Violetta: I can just feel it.

Leon: Babe, don't you think if I was going to divorce you would've done it by now?

Violetta: You're probably waiting for the right moment to do it.

Leon: No, I'm not baby I am not in a million years going to divorce you I love you and just because our daughter isn't well doesn't mean that if she doesn't make it, I'm going to divorce you because it's not happening, I love you and I'm not leaving you alone in anything.

Violetta: Thank you, Leon.

Leon: Don't thank me baby it's my job that's what I'm for your husband I'm supposed to look after you through sickness and health for richer or poorer.

Violetta: Aww, you know if Maria makes it?

Leon: Mm? *Strokes her arm*

Violetta: Will we be able to... *Takes a deep breath*

Leon: What baby? *Stroking her arm*

Violetta: Will we be able to renew our vows?

Leon: But why?

Violetta: Well in a couple of weeks it's our anniversary, so it thought it would be nice to renew our vows *Looks at his face* I know it's a stupid idea okay just ignore it I knew it wouldn't happen you obviously don't want to renew our vows.

Leon: Well, it's not a bad idea we'll see how Maria is and if she gets better, we'll renew our vows, okay baby.

Violetta: And if she doesn't, you'll divorce me?

Leon: No, baby if she doesn't it will take us to grief.

Leonardo walked into their room and jumped on the bed and separated Violetta and Leon and sat in the middle of them and hugged them both.

Leonardo: Morning, mommy and daddy.

Leon: Morning, my boy.

Violetta: Morning, honey.

Leonardo: Dad?

Leon: Mm?

Leonardo: Can I have pancakes for breakfast?

Leon: Sure, coming right up.

Violetta: I'm just going to sleep your father is taking you to school today.

Leon: No way, baby you're coming with me you need fresh air.

Violetta: No, I'm fine.

Leon: Baby, go have a shower and I'll meet you downstairs.

Violetta: Leon, you can take Leonardo to school on your own.

Leon: No, sweetie you're coming with me you need fresh air.

Leonardo went to get changed and Leon got up and pulled Violetta out of bed, but she just fell into his chest, and he kissed her neck.

Leon: Now go have a shower and come downstairs and then me and you will take Leonardo to school and I'm going to take you shopping because you need it.

Violetta: Really you think I can shop with my daughter in the hospital.

Leon: Shh, don't forget Leonardo is next door.

Leonardo ran in upset.

Leonardo: MARIA'S IN HOSPITAL WHAT? SO THAT'S WHAT THE BIG SECRET IS SHE'S NOT OVER GRANDADS AND GRANDMA'S SHE'S LAYING IN A HOSPITAL BED IT MAKES SENSE NOW ALL THE WHISPERING AND WHEN YOU TAKE ME TO SCHOOL YOU GO VISIT HER SO WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?

Violetta: Later, after we knew that Maria was awake then we would've told you.

Leon: Leon, it's true we were going to tell you as soon as we knew about Maria, but we didn't want to worry you.

Leonardo: WORRY ME? MY SISTER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND YOU THINK YOU COULD KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE YOU WERE SCARED YOU WOULD WORRY ME YOUR SELFISH BOTH OF YOU!!!

Leonardo ran to his room and cried on his bed.

Violetta: Oh no, what's did I do?

Leon: You just told Leonardo about Maria babe he's hurting because we kept it from him.

Violetta: *Sits on the edge of the bed* I've been such a horrible and self-centered mother all I've done is lie and hid things I hurt my son and my daughter is in the hospital Leon what can I do to make all this right?

Leon: You just need to trust yourself *Sits on the edge of the bed with her* And believe in yourself and believe in Maria she's going to live, and Leonardo is going to forgive you because you have been patient and trustful, Leonardo just needs time to think and get his mind through it, but I think we should just give him time.

Violetta put her head on his shoulder and Leon leaned his head on her head.
