Riley Dallas' pov

"Ri?" I look away from Logan in my arms to see Cameron to see him sitting in his chair with something in his hands. We had both ate breakfast together after Logan was fed and soon we would have everyone coming in to visit us.

"Yes Cam?" I look towards him cautiously making sure I haven't done too much damage. He brings the orange envelope closer.

"I wanted to speak with you more about... the divorce before the kids come in."

"Okay," I say lightly.

"I know you've been taking care of me these last several months when you've been pregnant and I'm very thankful to have had a women like you to be with me at a time like this."

"You needed help Cam..."

"I want to thank you for sticking by me during this rough time and I want to wish you all the happiness."

"Cam..." I hesitate slightly, because of the dream I just had. I am still quite emotional from it. We've apologized to each other and have tried to move on.

The kids would be first to come in along with Jack and G. I was excited to see them and my parents and sister is here.

"I know you don't know what you want and I get that. What I do know is that I've made you unhappy and I went too far this time. You've given me a chance and I'm so thankful for that."

"You know I care so much about you Cam. I wouldn't leave you in the state you were in."

"And for that I am so lucky. Ri, you're everything to me and I don't know how to explain what went wrong with me, but all I know is that I want you to live out your life."

"You make it seem that I never want to see you."

"Maybe not for awhile, but if down the line if we find each other again... maybe it's meant to be."

"We don't have to get this divorce Cam. We can still be together and not live wi-" I say un surly to him, because I know this was an obstacle we both had to face.

"I don't want you to feel like you're tied down." He sits at the edge of the bed and gently places his hand to the side of my face. I love his touch. "I want you to do whatever your heart desires you to do without feeling any guilt. If we're still in love and want to be together in the future, then we'll re-marry. For right now I want you to be free."

"Okay," I say softly and nod slowly having an idea. He reaches for the envelope again and opens it. He takes out a small stack of papers. I immediately notice the divorce papers. "Can you hold Logan?" Cameron nods and puts the paper down for a second to as I pass him over. Cameron then hands the papers over to me.

It takes me a few minutes to realize that he has filled everything out. To my surprise everything is correct and I realize how much time and effort he put into this. I look up feeling emotional, because I never thought I'd be seeing these papers.

"Ri..." Cameron says lightly as this is emotional to him also. The only thing left here is for me to sign. I look down at my wedding band and thought back to everything that has happened.

My heart pounds in my ear. I can feel my adrenaline is higher than normal and my heart is aching at the same time. This is really it then and this is my choice.
