Howie's POV

We hear Nick and Mallory come in the house and go up to their room I walk over to Stacey and start helping her pick up toys out of the floor. "Aurora is great she's a lot like Nick but I think she might look like Mallory." Stacey looks up at me "Just as long as she doesn't have a temper like Mal we will be okay." I nod "I can't wait to have our own babies Stac I'm ready to start a family you're amazing with her I know that you will be a great mother." She goes silent and goes to speak but it takes a few minutes. "Howie I won't be a good mother I can't be a mother I can't have kids." A bunch of feelings run through me and I'm hit with many different emotions at one time I'm sad because all my life I wanted to have a family I wanted kids now I would never get the chance and it hurt me. I was disappointed I walk out of the house then slam the door behind me I couldn't look at her right now I wasn't even sure if I wanted to continue our relationship.

Stacey's POV

I go to the nursery and check on Aurora she was still sleeping I go to my bedroom in tears I knew that Howie would be mad, but his reaction still hurt me. I walk over to the bed and curl up in a ball and let the tears fall I mentally curse Josh from taking this away from me I start silently asking myself why me? Out of everyone in the world why did this have to happen to me. I cry for a while but eventually the tears stop I roll over and look at Howie's side of the bed I wonder if the two of us still have a chance at having a future together sleep eventually overtakes me and I fall asleep facing the side of the bed where Howie would normally be laying.

Howie's POV

I stomp outside and start walking I don't care where I end up I just keep walking. I'm angry why would Stacey keep something like this from me did she not trust me? Did she think she could keep it from me forever the more I think about it questions keep swirling around in my head. I look up as I keep walking I end up at Kevin's house I see him working I walk over as he starts putting things away I guess he was finishing up for the night he looks up at me when he hears me coming. "What are you doing here?" "What's wrong?" I sit down and tell Kevin about what happened and how I reacted he walks over and sits down next to me "I'm sorry how are you?" I sigh "My emotions are so jumbled up I don't know what to think or what to feel." Kevin looks at me "Don't be angry for not knowing sooner Stac didn't mean to hurt you I believe she did the right in telling you when the time was right." Talking to Kevin helped but I was still hurt an I didn't know what I should do now about Stacey. I slowly walk back to the house thinking about the talk I had with Kevin I had a lot of thinking to do about this. I take a deep breath and decide that I need to see things from Stacey's point of view she was just trying to keep from hurting me and I had gotten angry at her for it I walk inside the house and it's dark and silent everyone must be asleep by now. I walk upstairs to mine and Stacey's room and find her asleep and I could see that her face is wet with tears I pull the cover over her then undress and get in the bed next to her and lay there for a while thinking about what I had done her wrong and got angry I look over at her again. As I lay there and watch her sleep I decide that I would apologize to her for everything in the morning.

Stacey's POV

I wake up the next morning and realize that I fell asleep in my clothes and I have a splitting headache I sit up and see Howie sleeping next to me then I remember what happened last night and I'm surprised that Howie is here. I didn't know if he would come home or not and I couldn't blame him I never wanted to hurt him I quietly slip out of bed grab some clean clothes then walk in the bathroom and get in the shower and let my thoughts take over me as the steam fills the room. I don't hear the shower door open and close then I feel breathing against my skin and a pair of arms wrap around my waist "I'm sorry Stacey I didn't mean to get angry and walk out you handled this the right way I'm sorry we can't have a baby of our own." I turn around and look at Howie "Thank I want you to know I would give anything to have our own baby." He kisses me and I kiss back then wrap my arms around his neck he picks me up and props me against the wall of the shower we wouldn't get over it right away but as the water pours over us and our bodies join together we begin to heal together.
