Sean and Katherine were in one of their few no hold barred fights. The two of them rarely fought like this. It was so bad, that James had picked Leo up and brought him to the park. That intervention came about three minutes before Katherine threw the first plate.
It shattered, she hadn't thrown it at Sean, or even in his direction. Neither Katherine or Sean had any stock in physical violence and both knew the disasters that could come of it. So instead when the anger got to much either one of them would throw crockery at the opposite wall of their spouse.
Katherine always lost it first. First it would be the cold tone of voice. This was always instigated by Sean asking a ridiculous question he already knew the answer to. Though to be fair, he only asked the question because Katherine was so snippy to him otherwise.
"Are you fucking James?"
"No, I am not sleeping with James."
"You sure? You seem pretty insistent he stay with us. Even though he, whoops, nearly got our son killed."
Sean would follow the cold tone with anger lacing a sarcastic statement, which only brought out one of two things. A reference to Magic or tears.
"You're one to talk. For all I know you've been fucking Magic or another one of those whores."
"What the fuck do you have against Adrinana?"
Then Katherine would be quiet, glaring at him.
"You never couldn't sleep with her." She would accuse quietly.
"Maybe its because she actually wasn't afraid of touching me." Sean would blunder, this had actually only been introduced the year before, when he had been having difficultly getting in bed with his wife, and he still didn't know why.
"Go fuck yourself!" Katherine would yell, and the first piece of crockery had been thrown to punctuate it.
"What the hell is your problem?"
"My problem. Husband dearest it seems as though you're the one with the problem."
"Every year!" Sean screamed throwing a cup behind him.
"Try every night!" Katherine said, starting to cry,
"Why do you do this?"
Katherine grabbed a plate, about to hurl it.
"Why don't you love me?" She asked instead, the anger deflating out of her, hugging the plate to her as she dropped to her knees.
"What?" Spot asked, his anger gone as he moved over next to her.
"You don't love me. You never did" She whispered, looking up at her husband.
"That's not true."
"You won't in a few seconds" She said, "If you even do now."
"Why don't you think I love you?"
"I had an abortion." Cards looked up at Spot, who was frozen in shock. He looked at her, not understanding what she said.
"What?"
"Before Leo was conceived."
"Was there even a chance it wasn't mine" Spot asked, gulping as he looked at her. He was grasping for straws, for anything to forgive her for it.
"We'd been together three months, not a chance."
"Why didn't you tell me? I would have married you then."
She shook her head "I was seventeen Sean." She whispered. "And I wanted you to marry me because you wanted to so badly you couldn't imagine not waking up to see me every day. Not because you felt you had to for some reason or another."
"Have you had once since?" He asked looking up at her. His face broken.
"No." She whispered, gripping the plate tighter.
"Why didn't you when you found out about Leo?" He gulped, closing his eyes. For a second imagining life without his son and he found it hard to forgive his wife.
"Adriana wouldn't help me." She said. "She helped me the first time, thought I'd been cheating on you and didn't want to run the risk."
"You knew the only thing I wanted was a family." Sean said,
"I didn't." Cards whispered. "I'm happy now yes. But its still hard and I wonder if we did the right thing marrying for Leo."
"Of course we did."
"But you don't love me" Cards repeated. "You never have, you may need me, but you don't love me."
"Kathy, that isn't true." He whispered, reaching out and touching her face lightly. "You and Leo are the only things that matter in my life. Of course I love you."
"Then why can't you sleep with me at times?" She asked gulping. "I've never been a sexual person with you I know that. But we managed, and we had some fun." She said. "So what happened?"
"I don't know" He said, looking at her, sinking down and kneeling before her. "I don't."
"Can you ever forgive me?"
"I don't have much choice." He whispered.
"Would have been almost four today," She gulped.
"That why you always get so temperamental?"
"Yeah" She nodded.
Sean stood up, reaching down and picking her up. Katherine reached her arms around his neck, kissing him softly.
"I do love you Kathy" He said "Believe it."
Katherine nodded. "Love you too" She whispered. "I'm pregnant by the way"

Author's notes. Its done. If there is demand I will write the next chapter type thing in this saga, or if preferred go back and write some of the stuff between "Not Like That" and "What Makes Her Cry". Also, for those who didn't get it. The reason why Spot and Cards have a kind of shaky marriage is because they only got married because Cards was pregnant when she was 18. So, I also explained why there is a certain amount of tension in their lives, This chapter they also got their feelings out. And yes. Cards has been expecting since the night described in chapter one, so she's about 4/5 months pregnant now, which is why she was so insistent on keeping Blink because she knew they would need the extra help.
