She was relieved he had seemed to calm down a little bit.  Although she knew that was for her and the kids benefits.  She knew once they got to the hotel that would be a different story. Don and Meryl got the kids ready for bed and put them down when they got back to the hotel.  "I am exhausted." Meryl said as they walked into the bedroom ( Read more... )

Don and Meryl walked in and saw his mom immediately. "What are you two doing here?" She asked.

"I need to talk to you, Mom.  Where are the kids?" Don asked.

"I'll be back with them." Meryl smiled and walked off.

"Don, Meryl looks pale and worn. Is everything okay?" She asked.

While Meryl was upstairs showering and getting ready for bed, after Don promising her he was fine, Don was relaxing on the couch looking at Louisa’s baby book.

"I really don't think you should have been released so early." Meryl sighed helping him into their townhouse later that night.
