�Why Howie?  Out of all of us, YOU did this. Why?�  I just looked at Nick and shook my head.
�I don�t know Nick.  I thought I was in love with Jennifer.  It was just..well, lust I suppose.�
�Lust?  You ruined that woman in that room, over lust?�
�I know Nick, it�s very, very stupid, you do not have to remind me.�
�You have no idea what you did.  She was so depressed over you Howie.  Not to mention you hurt your brothers,� Nick said, standing up and pacing the floor.
�Nick, stop, he feels bad.�
�Not nearly bad enough,� Nick shouted back at Kevin.
�If I didn�t know any better Nick, I would think you liked my wife.�
�No, you�re very wrong Howie.  She just happened to be one of my best friends and it killed me to know she left you for Jennifer.  Fuck, we all remember her, remember the shit she tried to pull on you.  But that body..yeah, sex must have been wonderful.�
�I do not have to take this from you.�
�Someone has to make you feel fuckin� bad.  I honestly don�t think you do.�  I stared at him, my hand clenched in a fist.
�Stop it, both of you,� AJ said, glaring at each man.  �Just leave D alone Nick.  We all care for her and knew she was hurting.  Howie feels bad, okay?  Don�t rub it in.�  Nick just rolled his eyes.
�I need some fresh air.�  I stared at him as he walked away.  �Okay, AJ was right, I felt like shit.  I mean, I caused this, right?  It was my, well, my mistress that caused this accident.�
�She�s in ICU, if you wish to see her,� Brian said.  I glanced at him and smiled.
�Thanks Rok.�
�No problem.  I�m gonna cool Nick down.�  I nodded my head and asked the nurse if I could see Resa.  She nodded and lead me back to the room.  My heart was not prepared to see this woman all hooked up to the machines.  I sat down in the chair, my eyes never leaving her face.
�God baby, how stupid could I have been?  I left you for her.  Well, you left me, but you know what I mean.  I don�t know why either.  But I know I never loved her, not like how I love you.  There is only one woman who has my heart, only one I could ever love.  Baby, please�� I trailed off as I choked on a sob.

I helped her home and heard her sigh.
�What?�
�Why are you bringing me here?�
�So I can watch you, that�s why.�
�You can watch me just fine at my mom�s house.�
�After everything, I�m pretty sure she doesn�t want me.�  She glanced at me and rolled her eyes.
�You want me to stay here, where Jennifer is all over?�
�What do you mean?�
�This was our house, then it was yours and hers.  I refuse to stay here D.�
�Baby, it�s our house, now and forever.�  She just shook her head, sitting down on the couch. 
�I�ll sleep here.�
�The room..�
�Fuck no Howard.�  I ran my hand through my hair, knowing why.

I came home the following day and saw a whole new living room set in the living room.  I stood in shock.  I heard someone moving upstairs and ran up to my room, seeing Theresa put in a new bed.
�What the fuck is going on?�
�You wouldn�t move me out of here, I�m going to make sure I�m comfortable.�
�So you spent money on all this?�
�If you loved me the way you claimed, you would understand.�  I sighed and took her in my arms.  We sat down on the bed and I smiled at her.
�I do understand.  I know nothing I can possibly do will ever make up the pain I caused you.�
�Well, I�m not all to sure.  I have a secret for you though.�
�What is that?�  She leaned her head on my chest and I smiled.  Her body fit right against mine.  This was right.
�You�re gonna be a daddy.�
�I�m already a daddy.�  I sighed, not realizing what she said till she started giggling.  She pulled away and looked in my eyes.
�You�re too cute sometimes baby.�
�That�woah.�  I couldn�t believe it and I was going to let that chance slip me by.  My face dropped and her hand cupped my cheek.
�Don�t think like that.  I knew you D.  I would have come back, you would have asked me back.  I knew what you felt for her.�
�Is she always going to be around?�
�That�s how love goes baby.  She was here and she�ll always be a part of us.  But you know, that�s quite all right.  She helped us prove that we were meant to be.  Through thick and thin, we�re perfect for each other.�  I sighed and took her in my arms, my lips claiming hers.  �She�ll never leave, you know what right?�
�Yeah, I know.�
�They call it something.�
�What?
�A haunting love.�
