Lawless Sequel

"No you don't get to do this. You can't have the best of both worlds!" Cecille sounded angry but tears welled up, "You can't leave me and then act like you care!"

Forrest looked confused, "i didnt leave. I just did what you told me to do."

"You said you couldn't do this forever. You said you'd stay with Howie." Cecille said. She started crying and he went to hold her, she whispered, "No." As she collapsed in his chest.

"I just want to be able to actually call you my wife."

She pulled away from his embrace and snapped, "And I just want you to actually think I'm worth waiting for." She went inside and closed the door loudly.

Forrest just stood there, at a loss for words.

Two Weeks Later:

Cecille and Forrest had been dancing around each other, he didn't stop offering his help and she didn't stop refusing. Howie had come over to bring Lilah back to Cecille and they sat at the table drinking some coffee while she napped.

"I don't know what to do Howie.." Cecille sighed.

"I saw a man leaving here last night." Howie admitted softly, "I know you're not with Forrest anymore..but don't have anyone here C, he'll kill them. And you know I'm not kidding."

"That was a doctor." She explained and he raised an eyebrow, "I'm pregnant again, Howie.."

Sara watched both of Jack's sons play outside and she finished the dishes. Jack walked in and kissed her cheek.

Howie looked at her in surprise, "When are you gonn tell him?"

Sara kissed him back and then turned promptly to the dishes. Jack ran a hand through his hair. He had been growing out his hair lately.

"I don't know, Howie." Cecille admitted, "I really don't want to tell him right now."

"Why don't we go into town for dinner tonight?" Jack offered, "I'm sure your sister can babysit."

Howie nodded, "i wont say anything."

Fdh..

Sara turned and looked at him, "ask one of your drunkard brothers. She has enough on her plate."

Cecille sighed, "Thank you. Oh Howie what am I going to do?"

"Sorry." Jack muttered, "I'll ask Howie.."
