Tom P.O.V.

Laura hasn't improved and I'm really getting worried and I can tell Helena is too. She is avoiding us at all costs and is working at the club all hours of the day and night. She also hasn't been eating. I don't know what to do. Helena keeps telling me to give her time but I am worried about what this is doing to her. She won't even look at me let alone talk to me. At this point I'm thinking about taking the kids to my parents for a few days to give Laura some alone time. I decide to pack up the kids and tell Helena I'll be back in a week. When I get to my parents I get Brieanna and Dylan and Sylar out of the car and lead them into the house. "Where is Laura?" my mum asks. "She is at home she needed some time alone." I say. I know I sound harsher then I mean to and I can tell my mum knows something is wrong. "Tom what's wrong did you get into a fight?" she asks looking worried. "No Laura was pregnant and lost the baby again and now she is avoiding me and the kids at all costs and is working all hours of the day and night she won't even talk to me much less look at me." I say frustrated. "Daddy are you and mum not going to be together anymore?" Brieanna asks with tears in her eyes. "No sweetheart we aren't mum is just really upset right now that's all." I say kissing her head. She walks away and I can see tears slowly sliding down her face. She is so mature for her age that I forget she is only nine years old. I set Sylar up in my room and set Dylan and Brieanna up in my brother's room next door and leave them to nap. "Tom don't be mad at Laura she is probably just feeling guilty and is upset and feeling like she disappointed you." my mum says. I know what my mum said is true but I really wish Laura didn't feel this way. She knows I don't blame her for what happened yes I am upset it keeps happening but we can keep trying. I help my mum make dinner in order to distract myself and I get the kids for dinner. We sit and eat as a family and then I get the kids ready for bed while my mum feeds Sylar. When the kids are in bed I grab my phone and decide to call Helena to check in on Laura. She picks up on the first ring. "How is Laura?" I ask her. "She is okay she was talking to me a little bit today she knows that she is being harsh toward you and she feels awful she is just angry and guilty about what happened. She also feels like she is a failure to you as a wife." Helena says. The last comment Helena said really bothers me. In no way whatsoever is Laura a failure as a wife or as a mother in my eyes. I spend time with the kids and my mum and brothers for the next few days before heading home. When I arrive home I get the kids out of the car and unlock the door and they run to greet Laura and she embraces them. "Hello my angels did you have fun with grandma?" "Yes." they reply. I put Sylar down and Laura unstraps him from the car seat and she cuddles him and he looks at her and says "mama". "He wouldn't stop asking for mama." I tell her. I then notice her starting to cry. "Laura what's wrong?" I ask embracing her. "I've been so awful to you and I feel terrible." she says crying into my chest. "Laura it's okay I understand." I say trying to console her. "Did you guys eat?" Laura asks after a few minutes and putting Sylar in his pack n play to nap. "The kids did I wasn't hungry." I say. "I made your favorite sheppard's pie." she says grinning. My wife knows me too well. We walk into the kitchen and I see the table set with candles and the food on the table. I pull out Laura's chair for her and she sits and I push her chair in for her. I sit across from her and look at my beautiful wife. "I have a special night planned." she says taking me off guard as she rubs my chest as I let out a moan.. "Really with what?" I ask my curiosity getting the better of me. "You'll see." Laura says winking at me. At that point that's all I needed to hear. "I'm full." I say getting up from the table and picking Laura up bridal style making her squeal as I carry her up to our bedroom. I notice rose petals and candles all over the room. "You did this for me." I say looking at her with nothing but love. "I wanted to make it up to you and I called Dr. Russell and I have the all clear if you want to try again." Laura says wiggling her eyebrows at me. I gently toss her on the bed and get on top of her and am so excited that I am having trouble unbuttoning her jeans. "Tom calm down." she says giggling slightly. "No way, not a chance." I say still struggling. I finally manage to get her jeans off but my hands are still shaking that I can't undo her bra. She helps me undo it and we let our passion take over.

Laura P.O.V,

I know Tom left and took the kids to his parents house. I know he is frustrated at me and I don't blame him. I know I haven't been the best wife lately but honestly I can't help it. I find Helena sitting in the living room watching telly. "Hi sweetheart." she says as I walk into the room. "I am a horrible person." I say sitting on the couch with my head in my hands. "Why?" mum asks. "I've been so awful towards Tom and the kids I'm such a failure as a wife and mother. I just can't help how I feel I feel so guilty about losing another baby and I don't know why it keeps happening." I say as I feel tears cascade down my face. "Laura if there is one thing I know it is that you are not a failure as a wife and mother in no way shape or form." mum says. The twins then start to cry and I pick them up and cuddle them and they smile and coo. I can feel a smile spreading across my face yet I still feel sadness. A few days later I hear Tom unlock the door when he gets home from his mum's house with the kids and I'm so excited I can't wait. The kids run to greet me and I embrace them. "Hello my angels did you have fun with grandma?" "Yes." they reply. Tom puts Sylar down and I unstrap him from the car seat and I cuddle him and he looks at her and says "mama". "He wouldn't stop asking for mama." Tom tells me. I then feel myself starting to cry. "Laura what's wrong?" Tom asks embracing me. "I've been so awful to you and I feel terrible." I say crying into his chest. "Laura it's okay I understand." he says trying to console me. "Did you guys eat?" I ask after a few minutes and putting Sylar in his pack n play to nap. "The kids did I wasn't hungry." he says. "I made your favorite sheppard's pie." I say grinning. I know my husband too well. We walk into the kitchen where I set the table with candles and the food on the table. Tom pulls out my chair for me and I sit and he pushes my chair in for me. He sits across from me and I look at my husband who I know I don't deserve. "I have a special night planned." I say taking him off guard as I rub his chest as I hear him moan. "Really with what?" he asks his curiosity getting the better of him. "You'll see." I say winking at him. "I'm full." he says getting up from the table and picking me up bridal style making me squeal as he carries me up to our bedroom. I put rose petals and candles all over the room. "You did this for me." he says looking at me with nothing but love. "I wanted to make it up to you and I called Dr. Russell and I have the all clear if you want to try again." I say wiggling my eyebrows at him. Tom gently tosses me on the bed and he gets on top of me and he is so excited that he is having trouble unbuttoning my jeans. "Tom calm down." I say giggling slightly. "No way, not a chance." he says still struggling. He finally manages to get my jeans off but his hands are still shaking that he can't undo my bra. I help him undo it and we let our passion take over.

Helena P.O.V.

I'm sitting in the living room with the twins watching telly when Laura walks into the room. "Hi sweetheart." I say as she walks into the room. "I am a horrible person." Laura says sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. "Why?" I ask. "I've been so awful towards Tom and the kids I'm such a failure as a wife and mother. I just can't help how I feel I feel so guilty about losing another baby and I don't know why it keeps happening." she says as I see tears cascade down her face. "Laura if there is one thing I know it is that you are not a failure as a wife and mother in no way shape or form." I say. The twins then start to cry and Laura picks them up and cuddles them and they smile and coo. I see a smile spread across Laura's face yet I see slight pain in her eyes as well. I feel bad for what she is going through and I can't imagine what this is doing to her.
