He stood up next to her, leading her to the door. "What about Al's diner?"

Cassie got in the car and they drove to the diner, just making small talk. She got out and walked inside

Nervous as he was, he took her hands in his. "Cassie, I know this is all happening so fast. I show up here out of the blue after being gone and I know what I'm about to say is probably going to sound crazy, but just listen. I've seen some terrible things happen over in Iraq. I've seen my own friends die before me. But you know what? None of them feared death. The only thing that upset them was that they had to leave their wives and children behind. I want to be like them, someone who loves so strongly that they wouldn't mind giving their life. I know its been a long time but the offer still stands. I want you to be my wife."

Cassie just looks at him. She nods and respons, expressionless "I'm pregnant."

For awhile, he didn't say anything. That definetly was not the response he was expecting to hear. He had worked up the courage to say what he had, practically laid his heart out on the table...for that. His shock dissipated, now he was trying his best to contain his anger.
"What do you expect me to say Cass...congratulations?.....I'm so happy for you?"

Cassie looked down at the table, to embarassed to look him in the eye. For so many years she had dreamed her first child to be his, but that was impossible now. She didn't know what else to say to him, and was convinced that he would walk away right now. This was the sole reason she was terrified of Ray's homecoming. Now, she was living her worst nightmare. She stayed quiet.

"Care to explain? I mean, I knew that things wouldn't possibly be the same upon my return, but you were the one person I had counted on to wait for me."

Cassie: "I don't want to say it was an accident, because I'd be lying.." She sighed "But it was only one night." She pauses "I was lonely.. a lot" She looked up at him "And I was so scared that you weren't alive.." She didn't want to mention the fact that the baby was his brothers (haha)

ooc: uh oh...
"Did it make you feel any better? Any less scared, less lonely?" Ray asked, trying hard to maintain composure and not totally lash out

Cassie shakes her head and looks down at the table again, scared of eye contact. "No. Not really"

Cassie takes a deep breath, then finally looks up at him. "Tyler." She tried to stay calm, hoping that he would too.

Ray had heard enough. Without another word, he got up from the table and walked outside, cursing under his breath

Cassie stayed at the table alone and started to tear up. She didnt want to cry in public, but she couldn't help it. Plus, everyone in her small town knew her, and probably knew what was going on. She sat with her face in her hands and cried.

Ray stormed the parking lot, fuming with mixed emotions. He was hurt, he was mad, but yet he loved her and always had.

Cassie felt a familiar hand on her shoulder. She looked over, and Tyler was sitting in the booth beside her. She didn't know what else to do, so she hugged him, and cried on his shoulder.
