Laura & Ross:(cooking)

Hunter:(playing with his toys on his high chair and drinking his bottled milk)

Laura:(sighs sadly)

Ross:(hears her) You alright there Laur?

Laura:(shakes her head and looks at him with tears in her eyes)

Ross:(puts the food in his hands down and walks up to her hugging her) What's wrong?

Laura:(cries into his chest) I'm a terrible mother

Ross: No you're not (pulls away and wipes her tears away) Why would you say that?

Laura: My kids are fighting and we're not doing anything to fix it

Ross: We are Laura, we are

Laura: What are we doing? All we're doing is just standing there like statues watching our children fighting and not talking to eachother. Shor is all depressed and Maya is locking herself in the playroom

Ross: Don't blame this all on yourself Laura (hugs her and rubs her back)

Laura: We have to do something Ross, not just stand there

Ross:(sighs) I know, I know but I just don't know what to do just yet

Laura: We have to think of something though

Ross: I am, I am. I just have to have more time to think

Laura: We can't wait any more longer Ross, we have to get our kids to talk again

Ross:(sighs deeply) I know

Hunter:(makes baby sounds)

Laura:(pulls away and wipes her eyes) Sorry Hunter (walks up to him and wipes his face putting the empty bottle away)

Ross: You okay?

Laura:(sighs) No but I guess I have to wait longer till my kids are best friends again

Ross: I'm trying real hard here Laura

Laura: I know (looks at him) I'm very thankful that you're here to help me through this

Ross: Of course (kisses her forehead)

Laura: Thank you

Ross: You're welcome. Why don't you go rest, I got dinner covered

Laura: You sure?

Ross:(nods) Yeah

Laura: Alright (gets Hunter out of his high chair putting him in his play-mat and lays on the couch resting)

Ross:(talks to himself) My poor Laura (sighs and continues to cook dinner)

A little while later

Ross:(puts dinner on the table) Dinner!

Laura:(jolts up awake and falls on the floor) Ow!

Ross:(rushes up to her) Sorry sweetie (helps her up)

Laura: It's alright (brushes herself and looks at Hunter who's asleep) I should get him upstairs

Ross: Alright

Laura:(picks up Hunter and goes upstairs to his nursery)

Ross:(knocks on the playroom) Maya dinner

Maya:(walks out)

Ross: You wanna eat?

Maya:(shakes her head) L8r

Ross: It wasn't an option missy
