Anna's pov:

While waiting for Jarrod to finish his work William got talking to Caroline. She told us about what happened to her and Elliott and I noticed tears start to stream out of eyes and down her porcelain cheeks making her face turn a slight red ish color. Although I wasn't her biggest fan I did feel for her.

William turned to look at me and I could tell in his eyes that he was getting comfortable enough that he wanted to wipe Caroline's tears. I nodded a reassuring nod and immediately William sprang to her side, cupped her cheeks with his strong hands and delicately began wiping her falling tears.

Upon seeing William wipe Caroline's tears I felt a love for him that I thought was gone. It sparked something I didn't even realize I was missing. It was one thing to be lovingly taken care of by my husband in my time of sorrow but a totally other thing to be watching him take care of another woman in her time of sorrow.

After he finished wiping all Caroline's tears away he turned to talk to Elliott. After what happened last time they spoke I was a little nervous but to my surprise William actually apologized to him for his behavior last time. He really was proving that he was a changed man.

Just then Jarrod came out of his office and told us he had promised to go after work to purchase Camilla some new clothes for her upcoming new job before we surprised him. He then asked us if we'd like to get settled in his house for a bit so they could still shop. Before even hearing our reply he handed us his house keys and told us he'd see us in a couple hrs.

William's POV:

Anna and I get to Jarrod's house, get our stuff in, set it behind the sofa, rest for a while... When Jarrod arrives, I saw him enter with Camilla, I expected him to knock, as I had his keys, I see he's in a serious relationship with Camilla, in order to give her keys. I quickly go to the kitchen and serve four glasses of grape/cranberry juice, as I no longer want to drink alcohol, it transforms me into someone I don't want to be anymore.

I tell them the news about our renewed relationship, and, surprisingly, I feel happy tears start to fill my eyes...

Anna's pov:

Jarrod gave William and I keys to his house so we could get settled while they did some shopping after work. We got in bringing our bags and set them behind the sofa as to not make much of a mess. We rested for a bit.

A little bit later we were startled by the opening of Jarrod's door. We thought we had the only key, but now we realize Camilla had one too. I guess they were more serious than we thought. Before Jarrod and Camilla had even set their shopping bags down William was already in the kitchen pouring four glasses of grape/cranberry juice for eacch of us. William then made a toast to me wich took me by surprise.

He told them that we had worked through our recent rough patch and our relationship had taken a 180 degree turn for the better and that we were planning on starting to try to have a baby again.

I could see happy tears starting to fill William's eyes but I really didn't want to bring much attention to it as I didn't think he'd want Jarrod or Camilla aware so as soon as he sat down on the couch I just grabbed his free hand with my free hand and began delicately rubbing circles on the back of his hand to descretely yet lovingly ease his tears.

William's POV:

After I talked about planning to get pregnant again, tears welled in my eyes, Anna guided me to sit down and started rubbing circles on the back of my hand, that sweet gesture made my tears overflow, a couple of silent tears rolled down the middle of my cheeks, I allowed them to course their way freely and unhindered.

William made a very nice toast yet very unusual seeing as how it was made with juice instead of alcohol, but I figured William must have had a good reason for it. That thought quickly escaped my mind as we sat and I noticed Anna rubbing circles on William's hand. I quickly noticed this gesture although usually comforting made tears that I didn't even notice were in his eyes overflow.

I was frozen staring at him as how he used to never let his emotions consume him especially in front of anyone. Just then I saw Anna release one of William's hands from hers then lean over from where she was sitting. She then placed her right hand on his left cheek and delicately thumbed away a couple tears on his left cheek.
