Tyler lingers for a quick second before returning to the kitchen and Nathan and Tessa.
Bryan stays standing, back to the door. He keeps silent, waiting for her to say something first.

As soon as she is feed and changed she puts her back to sleep. She then heads back down.
"You know that you could come over here. I mean..." She says before pausing. "I have said it thousands of times. I am sorry. I messed up. What can I do to make you forgive me?

Tessa and Nathan run to greet her, dragging her into the kitchen with them. "I see our little monsters found you," Tyler chuckles.
"It's just hard for me to believe, Lu. You went and had a kid with some other dude and let me think the baby was mine. Imagine if you were me in that situation," Bryan replies, voice beginning to rise.

"they sure did."she says hugging them.
"I didn't know Nevaeh wasn't yours I didn't know whose she was. I should have never done it. I know this Bry. I should have told you after it happened. I get this. Trust me I regret it. I hate that I hurt you. I hurt the kids." She says. " I know this. I hate that because of it you refuse to have anything really to do with me or to actually accept our boys. I will do anything you want me to do just just to get you to trust and forgive me. L"

"They've been, uhh... helping me unpack," he says, gesturing to all the plastic bowls that the two toddlers dragged all over the kitchen.
Bryan groans, running a hand over his face. "I just don't understand how you could have gone and done it in the first place. Was I not enough for you?"

"oh yes they have been big helps." She says grinning.
"Yes you are enough. I..." She says pausing. " You will always be enough for me. I don't know why I did it. I shouldn't have. And now I will have to pay for for the rest of my life. I know this."

"I'm just glad they haven't been able to get into any of the glass stuff," Tyler jokes.
"If I'll 'always be enough for you'," Bryan retorts, using air quotes, "why did you feel the need to look elsehwere? What- what led you to this? I know it's been two years, but you've never been able to give me a good response."

"me too."
"It happened when you were on your book tour. I got a sitter for the kids and went out with a few friends from work. I meet him that night. We talked that is all that night. I never wanted to do anything with him. He always either got me drunk or he would slip me something every time we did anything. I know that it don't make me innocent but I wanted you to know the truth."

"What do you say, leave them to the plastics while we finish with the glass?" Tyler asks, pulling Jasmine close enough to kiss her.
Bryan freezes. "Wait, wait, wait, back it up there for me just a sec. He what? If your little affair wasn't entirely consensual, why the hell didn't you tell me?"

She kisses him. "That sounds like a plan."
"I didn't know how to. You already had it in your mind that I cheated on you. Then she can out looking like him. Plus I wanted to forget what he did."

Tyler gives Jasmine another quick kiss before returning to his box of plates. "We should do something to celebrate when we're all unoacked."
Bryan gingerly sits on the bed beside her. "Lu, babe, you could have told me that," he insists. "Instead, you let me think for over two years that you cheated on me."

"like what?"
"In a way it was easier. Easier then to tell you that I was pretty much cheating on you against my will."

Tyler takes a moment to consider this. "Maybe pizza and ice cream? Or a movie?" he suggests.
"How is letting me think you chose to cheat on me easier than telling me you were forced into it?" Bryan asks.

"That sounds great."
"I... I didn't think you would believe me."

Tyler turns to the kids. "Natey, Tess, what do you guys think?"
"You thought I wouldn't believe you? Babe! What?"

"yea peeza." Nate says "Movie now?" Tessa asks
"I didn't. Especially after she was born."

"Not yet, Tessie," Tyler tells his daughter. "We still have some more unpacking to do. Do you wanna help your mommy unpack your room?"
Bryan gently touches her hand for the first time the whole conversation. "Babe... Even I understand that you can't control whose sperm fertilized your egg. I'm not that unreasonable, am I?"

"yea unpack my room." Tessa says. "Well let's go Tess."
"No you not." She says as she holds his hand. "Sorry for everything. Sorry for hanging out with him in the first place and for not telling you the truth."

Tyler turns to Nathan. "You wanna come help me in your room, Natey?"
Bryn presses a kiss to the back of her hand. "Was he still doing this to you by the time we left?" he asks.

"uh huh." Nate says
"No it stopped six months before Nevaeh was born. Around the time I switched jobs. He was why I switched. Thee boys are yours. I promise you that."

Tyler scoops Nathan up and heads to the little boy's room to help him unpack, obviously doing most of the work himself.
Bryan kisses the palm of her hand, lookong up at her. "Lu, babe, I am so sorry. I'm glad he stopped but..." He places a hand on her stomach, thinking back to all their heated arguments which led to equally heated sex. "I kinda hate now how the boys were conceived."

Jasmine manages to get Tessa's room done before Catie wakes back up.
"I do too. Though us fighting was the only way I could get you to talk to me." She says. "Maybe we can do something as a family tonight. For the first time in a long time."

It takes Tyler a little bit longer with Nathan's room. It seems like every time he puts something away, the little boy manages to take it right back out.
Bryan leans over and presses a kiss to her cheek. "I think the kids would love that. Kailey and Brileigh will die of excitement."

She changes Catie and lets her lay in her bed quietly. "Want some help?"
"I am sure they will." she says smiling. She leans up and kisses her husband.

Tyler looks up from the mess of a room and nods. "God, please!" he laughs, grabbing Nathan before the toddler can make an even bigger mess.
Bryan kisses her back, the first time he's kissed her with anything other than anger since her original confession and Nevaeh's birth. He places one hand on the small of her back.

Jasmine helps him unpack and clean the room.
She grin. "I missed this." she whispers.

"We're gonna have our hands full with this, huh?" Tyler asks, once more pulling Nathan away before he makes a mess.
"Me too," Bryan replies, tone matching hers. He gently brushes her hair out of her face, one arm wrapping around her waist enough to pull her onto his lap.

"Mmmhmm. Lets call it done and finish after he is asleep. Maybe camp out in the living room tonight?" Jasmine says.
She smiles and lets him.

Tessa and Nathan both gasp and cheer. "I think that's a yes," Tyler laughs.
Bryan kisses her lightly. "How chaotic do you think the kids have gotten going unsupervised with the unpacking?

"Me too." she says. "Go get your pillows and blankets."
"I don't even want to think about that." she says as they fear a bang.
"Sorry Mom and Dad!" they hear Brileigh yell. He had dropped his box that had all of her books.
