Martin took a deep breath as he enters his house, his transfer came through today, come Monday he'll be heading to work at his new job. When he had requested the transfer he was so angry at T.J for what he had done to Kayla or what he had convinced himself that T.J had done and now that he knew how wrong he was he felt like a heel, a low down dirty heel but on the other hand he was grateful that he didn't have to deal with Jess and Jason's wrath because on top of his guilt that was a lot more than he could handle.
He enters the dining room and was utterly taken aback by the sight before him. "Wow, candlelight dinner? Does this mean I'm forgiven?" He asks Susan nervously. She stands up and his eyes widen at the skimpy lingerie with a matching lace overcoat she was wearing.
"Where are the children?" He asks looking around. "They're staying with my mom tonight." "So I'm forgiven then." He said seductively. "Maybe," She said biting her lips. He walks over to her and slips his hands around her waist. "Is there any way I can turn that may be into a yes?" He asks against her lips. "Go take a bath and I'll answer that question when you come back." "I have a better idea, why don't you join me?" He asks squeezing her butt. "Okay but let me blow out the candles first." She giggles.
He kiss his wife passionately as the water ran over them. "I'm so sorry I hurt you baby; I've been acting like an idiot for a long time now. I was an idiot for trying to break up T.J and Kayla and for allowing her to get so close to me that I ended up crossing a line that should never have been crossed." He said kissing her neck.
"And for believing all her lies and most of all for convincing myself that T.J could've done something so horrible." He said in shame. "Well, she was very convincing," Susan said lathering his back with the soap. "We were both stupid for believing her lies and even though you're not perfect I love you with all my heart and I can see that you're not the same person you were a few months ago." She said massaging his hard shaft.
"We have been born again and we're now new people in Christ, it's time to put the past behind us and move on." She whispers against his lips. "I couldn't agree more." She turns her back to him and places his hands on her stomach. "And speaking of new, we're going to have a new addition to our family." She said leaning her head back against him.
"Really?" He asks in surprise. "Yep, I took a test and it's positive but just to be sure I'll visit my doctor on Monday." "And speaking of new beginnings, my transfer came through today, I'll be reporting to my new place of work on Monday, I requested that transfer because I thought T.J was a cold-blooded monster and now that I know differently I feel really bad, but what's done is done, I've single-handedly destroyed our friendship." He said stepping from the bath and wrapping a towel around her then one around himself
"You know we won't really be able to move on until we apologized to Ty right?" She asks as he led her back towards the dining room. "I know, but I think I'll hold off on that until he's stronger, the last thing I need is for him to end up back in the hospital again because of me." She pushes him down on one of the chairs and straddles him. "Okay, we'll do it together when you're ready." She said as he captures her lips in a deep passionate kiss.

Three days after he woke up until currently, Ty had his head buried in medical books. He said he was trying to catch up on all the classes he had missed but his family knew he was more trying to block out the world and the pain he was feeling, so they gave him space but then his friends got really worried about him and decides to come to his house to visit. It seems like ages that they had spent time with him.
At first, he refused to leave his room using studying as an excuse but Janice went in and dragged him out and down to the pool. The conversation then shifts to what has been happening to him over the years. For a while Ty said nothing but then he spoke. "I feel like a damn ticking time bomb," He said in frustration. "From the moment they took me from my mother's womb I've been prodded, poked, and pricked with so many needles that I've lost count. For years I've been like a puzzle no doctor can figure out," He fumes sipping his juice.
"Not one of them can figure out what this thing is that's plaguing me." He sighs. "I just wish they would figure out what it is and find a cure already," Jess said. "I can run the halls of the hospital from morning till night, sometimes even right back to the next morning and I'm fine, I can go through a vigorous workout routine for half an hour straight and I'm fine." "True that I've seen how good you're at the insanity video," Jason adds.
"See what I'm saying, I can also swim the length of this humongous pool without stopping, and again I'm fine but I get angry and within three minutes my entire body shuts down and I end up in a coma? Seriously, and not one doctor including my father can tell me what's wrong with me? that's the reason I went into advanced medicine because I will not stop until I figure out what is wrong with me and how to cure it. " Ty says in frustration.
"Maybe it's Asthma," Janice said. "That has been ruled out since I was five." He said. "There's no way I can go through my life without getting angry, even Jesus got angry and flip that damn table over, come on man I'm not made of stone, not to mention I live in constant fear because I know for a fact that I won't be able to stop this from happening again and I'm not sure how much more my heart or my mom can handle." He said with a groan. "Just take it one day at a time alright," Jess said hugging him. "Um... can I holler at you for a moment?" Jason asks Ty. "Sure, we'll be right back ladies," He said following Jason across the lawn.
"What's up?" Ty asks catching up with Jason. "Seriously dawg, the sexual tension between you and Janice is so thick I could chap it with a butcher knife, Why aren't you making that girl yours man?" "You know why," "Come on T.J, I know she can't have children but you can't deny that you're really into her." A seductive smile curves the corner of Ty's lips.
"I know I can't and it's driving me crazy but it's not that simple. I can't be with her unless I decide to marry her and by making her my wife that means I'll never be a ….." "What, a father? You don't know that for sure if God could make Abraham fertile at a hundred years old, then why can't Janice produce a child?"
"She can't because of what her ex did to her and even if she did get pregnant she wouldn't be able to carry it to term," Ty said sadly. "What? Is that written in stone somewhere?" Jason asks in a frustrated tone. "Come on Jase, I really care about this girl but realistically she cannot give me a child, the sooner I accept that the better." "Wow, for a man that has served God for as long as you have, you don't have much faith in him do you?" Jason snorts.
"That's not fair Jason; you're asking me to hope for the impossible." "Aren't you the one who is always telling me that nothing is impossible with God, I may not be a Christian yet but let me give you a bit of advice; let go of your fears and let God do what is best for you, if you're going to serve him then you'll have to trust him with every aspect of your life, just saying." He said patting Ty's shoulder.
