With a hard shake of her head, Bianca returned to the living room where Dallas was waiting patiently for her to return, "How could you not ring me when she came over?" she asked, her arms crossed tightly to her chest. Dallas was unsure, "I don't know." he said vaguely confused, "I really don't."
"You really don't know how to be a parent, do you?" Bianca softened up, he really wasn't sure how to act around kids, it wasn't like he had a real childhood to begin with and he hadn't ever been exposed to kids much. His sisters were different because he was never home, so didn't know about the going on's in the house.
Dallas thought about it, he was clueless to the whole situation. Bianca realised his hard edge had disappeared with time, he was an adult now. He paid his bills, owned a house and even had a full time job, something she thought he'd never have. "I've always been open for it. I'm here now." he muttered.
Bianca wandered outside the backdoor for some air. She chewed the inside of her cheek, her stubborn stance had gone too. She peered up at the dark sky above, becoming lost in the stars. Dallas appeared next to her, staring down at his shoes under the moon light. Bianca thought there wasn't any use hiding it and turned to him, now he stood before her.
Dallas held her arm, caressing it. She could feel his imprint of fear which only sent chills through both of them, without warning, like a magic trick, they're open mouthed and passionately kissing under the open sky.
From inside the house, Delia clutched her bag, watching the entire kiss from the window. Her heart felt warm like she actually brought them back together and possibly saved them both. She'd never seen her mother so in love before, not with Paul at least.
When she thought about Loanne, Paul and the new baby in her mothers stomach, she began to feel differently. The guilt lead her out the door, and too wait in the car instead. Bianca and Dallas are stopped in their tracks, she was too heavily pregnant, it was too much. They both knew it would lead to more, so she left the house.
Bianca settled into the car with Delia. Without a hint of agreeance the pair speak at once, "I'm keeping the baby." Delia announced out of no where, only to be followed by Bianca's, "I think I still love him."

Back at the house it was tough as soon as Bianca and Delia got home. Bianca went straight for Paul with a confession and a rash decision. She took him into the bedroom where the fighting started, "I cant believe you'd do this!" Paul screamed so loud, he barely raises his voice until now, "I didn't know I was still fighting for you after all these years!"
Bianca attempted to calm him, "Paul I did love you. Please know I did." she wanted him to know. Bianca might not have loved him at the start but grew to love him after they got married, at the time he was the man she needed. Paul spat, "You loved him more!" he was right about that too.
In Loanne's room Macy tucks her into the bed sheets, trying to block out the fight that is happening down the hall. Loanne is clearly saddened by it, "I hate when they fight." she sniffled.
"Everyone fights, you and me fight. Mom and Bianca. It's just the way it is." Macy tries to comfort her. "Do you think they will break up?" Loanne asked, Macy knew the best possible answer but didn't say it, instead she lied to protect to sister, "No. It will be fine." she said, but deep down knew everything would change.

Bianca tried to coax Paul into staying for hours, but it didn't work. He left. Bianca didn't cry or collapse like she thought she would, instead she picked up the phone. It was funny how fast she snapped back into going to Dallas for advice, after all these years he knew best.
She spoke to him all night on that phone, there was a lot of laughing and crying from both ends. In the morning Delia and Macy found her asleep on the couch with the phone cord still wrapped around her.
"God, she's like a teenager." Macy scoffed in surprise, her mother acted so young and giddy on the phone the night before. Delia smiles weakly, in awe of the romance her parents had after all this time, "He brings something out in her."
