A few hours later,

"Should we check if they're still alive? I haven't heard Gail yell in a few hours ago" Tracee mentioned

"Maybe they're finally communicating like adults?" Michael replied

"Could you check if they're still alive? I mean they were in the kitchen, a kitchen with sharp knives, I don't want a bloodbath in our kitchen, what if they killed each other?" Tracee gasped

"Stop watching crime shows when you're bored" Michael sighed

"What? You know my sister has a temper and those post birth hormones they can make you do crazy things" Tracee replied "So could you go check on them?" She asked "I'll watch the kids" She added

"Fine" Michael sighed and made his way to the kitchen, finding Gail and Romeo making out, she had him pushed against the kitchen counter while she kissed him "What the- when did that happen?" Michael asked, interrupting them

"What the fuck!" Gail gasped and pushed Romeo aside, having him nearly fall on the floor

"What the...." Romeo gasped, looking at Gail who pushed him against kitchen counter and kissed him only to push him aside again

"Call it temporary insanity caused by post pregnancy hormones" Gail replied "You'll kick him out, right?" She asked Michael and stormed off

"Oh hell no, get back here, this is my damn property, you're the guest that means you don't tell me what to do in my own damn house" Michael replied

"Well exc-" Gail tried

"No, you should be the one to apologize, thanks to you my two year old is blurrting out fudge cake to everything, we all know who loves to use the actual f word, secondly we all know how stubborn you can be, it's your strength but don't make it your downfall too" Michael began "Also you've to admit it, you do need help with a new born and she deserves to know her father, atleast he tries to make up for the mistake he made, not many people would admit they were wrong when they made a mistake, you don't want to end up living with regret your whole life like your parents when they were forced to give Ethan up, they didn't get to choose, you can make the choice to have your daughter grow up with both her parents in her life" He continued

"Why do you always have to be right about everything?" Gail asked

"Why do you always have to be so stubborn?" Michael asked

"Oh f- well, you have to be in my job, you know there's not many women in my field that reach the very top and become a partner" Gail replied

"But you made it and you know we always knew you could do it" Michael replied

"Yeah just like I always believed you and T would make it when everyone else thought you guys were too young to get married and everything" Gail mentioned  "I guess we're kind of on speaking terms again?" She mentioned to Romeo

"Uh yes...just unblock my number..." Romeo replied

"Fine I will" Gail replied before she left the kitchen and made her way to her room

"I guess you could stay in a guestroom or if you want to stay in one of the cabins that's also an option" Michael mentioned to Romeo

"Oh uh...a guestroom is fine....I just want to be close when my daughter needs me, you know?" Romeo replied

"Sure" Michael answered

"And? Did Gail kill Romeo?" Tracee asked when Michael came back and lay down next to her
