A few nights later Hensley was sitting out by the pool with her feet dangling in the water. Dylan joined some of his old college buddies for a party on the beach and he left Hensley with his parents. She was drinking her bourbon and coke when Bucky came out with his scotch.

He walked over to her and said "Where's my little brother?' 

"Oh he went to join his friends for a party." she said 

"You didn't want to go with him." he said 

She looked down and said "He didn't want me to go with him. He told me to stay here and he would be back when ever he felt like coming home." 

Bucky shook his head and said "Hensley darlin you deserve better than this crap. Especially some one as beautiful as you." 

She looked down and said "You need to stop.. he doesn't like when other guys flirt with me. He claims that he always knows." 

"Sweetheart I've kicked my brother's ass a time or two he knows better than to try and start a fight with me." He said as he took a drink of his scotch then went back to get more and brought the bourbon bottle and poured more into her cup when he sat back down. 

She looked over at him and said "Where is she?' as she ran her finger over his wedding band. 

"Back in Brooklyn. We are having some problems so she chose to not come and wouldn't allow me to bring "my daughter" with me" he said 

"Why did you say my daughter with air quotations." she said 

He looked over at her and said "Cause I don't think she's mine..she's a year old and I don't see me in her at all.." 

"You think your wife had an affair." Hensley said as she poured bourbon. 

"Yeah.. I mean it's possible.. when ever I brought it up about 6 months ago all it did was start a fight and she left to go to her mom's for a week with Gabriella and then came back. I started to sleep in the guest room or stay at the hospital cause I didn't know want to be around her. I've done my fucking best to do whatever I had to do to make her happy and to think that she stepped out on our marriage fucking kills me." he said as he shook his head and poured more scotch. 

"How long have you two been together?' Hensley said 

"Since we were 16.. we got married before I left for boot camp then I was enlisted for 3 years did college and medical school and now I'm a 2nd year fellow in neuro and she came to me and said that she wanted a baby two years ago and I wanted to give her what she wanted she waited long enough but I was just finishing up my residency and starting my fellowship but I wanted to give her what she wanted so when I had time off or when I had a little time at the hospital we were trying for a baby.. and I know it wasn't much time but I did what I could but I'm starting to think that it wasn't enough and she found someone else to give her what she wanted." he said 

Hensley shook her head "Some people are so fucking selfish. I mean what if the baby came out with different eye color than yours or hers what was she going to do then." she said 

"Gabriella came out with blonde hair and blue eyes like Sutton so she got lucky on that end but she has none of my facial features. And you have seen Rebecca's baby we have very distinct features." he said 

"Yeah little Silas does have a lot of his uncle James in him." she said 

He chuckled and he said "How did you get roped into nursing school." 

"I'm actually almost done.. I have one more semester left.  I just wanted to do it. I'm going back to school though..so I can be a pediatric surgeon." she said 

He smiled and said "You are amazing.." 

She smiled and said "Thank you.. I like to think so." 

"Someone's drunk." Bucky said 

"Not nearly enough." she said as she poured more. 

They both ended up talking and drinking till 3 in the morning. James and Winnie came out to find them both asleep in the lounge chairs with empty scotch and bourbon bottles. "James Buchanan.. Hensley Nicole." Winnie said 

They both jumped awake and rubbed their eyes and stretched out. James said 'What did you two do?' 

"Drank to much and talked." Bucky said as he squeezed the bridge of his nose. "Oh god a god awful hang over." Hensley whispered as she rubbed her temples. 

"I would say so that's some strong ass bourbon Hensley.. " James said 

"Get sobered up you two." Winnie said as she went to start breakfast. 

While Hensley was in the shower Dylan came home from the party as she was coming out of the shower as he took off his pants and condom wrappers that were in his pocket fell out "Dylan" she whispered 

"Oh hey baby.. I"m gonna take a nap I'm pretty tired." he said as he kissed her cheek. 

"Okay.." she said as she looked down. 

She got dressed then headed downstairs then went into the bar and slammed a shot glass down. Bucky came in and said "No no it's not even noon we aren't doing this." 

"Hey you are crying what's the matter?' he said 

"It's nothing.. I"m pretty sure I was just seeing things.." she said 

"Hey look at me sweetheart.. what is it? What did my little brother do huh?' he said 

"It's nothing.. I'm pretty sure I'm just being paranoid.." she said as she walked away. 

James came in and said "What is wrong?" 

"I have no idea.. she was about to start drinking and I stopped her and she was crying. She wants to believe that she was seeing things but I don't know what she means by that." Bucky said 

"Go upstairs and look around Dylan is passed out.. he just got home not but 10 minutes ago.." James said 


Bucky snuck into their room he went into the bathroom and saw the pants in the floor and saw the condom wrappers. "Oh little brother what did you do?' when he saw that they were the pants he wore to the party cause his wallet and keys were still in them. 

Bucky found his dad and whispered "Dad.. I'm pretty sure she's trying very hard to not believe that Dylan would cheat on her.. used condom wrappers were in his pants pockets that he wore to the party he didn't want her to go to last night." 

James sighed and shook his head. 

"Just pretend like you don't know anything for now." he said 

"Okay dad" Bucky said as he went to join his sisters and Hensley in the pool along with his future brother in law and brother in law Alex.
