Becky sat in a church, the large stain glassed windows stood above her. She sat in a pew, and watched as a young girl at the front practiced for the choir singing "Ava Maria". The candles flickered, lighting Becky's tearful blue eyes.
Becky knelt to the floor as the music echoed out, tears streamed down her face.

"Help me, please help me. I don't know what to do" she said over and over in a whisper.

John Ross sat alone on the patio drinking a beer, JR walked out as the sun began to set.

"How are you doing?" JR asked.

"Just great, its not everyday you find out your wife is sleeping with your cousin" John Ross replied bluntly taking a swig from the bottle.

"John Ross, I hope you understand why I did what I did, I don't want to see you hurt, I had to do it" JR explained

John Ross smiled

"You know dad there were a million and one ways for you to tell me, but I know you care" John Ross replied

"I'm here for you son, I always have been and I want only the best for you" JR said honestly.

John Ross smiled "I know dad."

At Pam's home, Christopher stood outside the grand white house leaning up against the pillars. Pam walked outside.

"Funny being here, you were only a baby" she said.

"I wish it was that time again, you know what one of my earliest memories is, that big white car, Marks car, parked right out front here" Christopher replied regretfully.

Pam looked down, feeling guilty "It was never easy for you was it?" Pam asked

"Hey mom, come on. It could of been worse, you and dad did your best, I never lost out" Christopher replied

Pam moved closer "Do you ever think about real mother? About Kristen?" she asked

"Of course I do, I think about what my life could of been like, how lucky I am in so many ways, where would I be now if she had lived? Scary thought huh?" he replied with a smile.

"What will you do now?" Pamela asked

"I want Becky, I want her to want me, but she's going to leave Dallas, she told me, I'm going to loose her forever" Christopher replied

"Leave Dallas? To go where?" Pamela asked.

"Anywhere, just to get away from me I guess" Christopher replied

Pam thought for a moment. She looked down. There was silence.

"Christopher I have to tell you something, I didn't know if I should, but its not fair that I know, there's been too many secrets already" Pam said nervously.

Christopher looked at him mother confused. "What? What secrets?" he asked.

"Christopher, Becky is pregnant" Pamela said taking a deep breath.

"Pregnant? How do you know that?" Christopher asked

"Afton told me, Becky only just found out" Pam explained.

"Iv got to see her, Iv got to see her now" Christopher said in a panic.

"No Christopher, not like this" Pamela said.

"Mom, just give me the car keys" Christopher demanded

"No Christopher, please just wait" Pamela insisted

"Mom, give me the keys, lm going there one way or another" Christopher replied

Pamela sighed and took the keys from her jean jacket pocket and handed them to her son.

Christopher grabbed them and ran over to the car, got in and sped off at a mighty speed.

Pamela stood looking worried, she put her hand to her mouth

"What have I done? What have I done?" she said as the consequences of her revelation began to hit home.

At Cliff and Afton's, Becky stood by her bed packing a suitcase, beside her were airline tickets to Italy.

Christopher arrived at the house, pounding on the door.

Afton opened the door.

"Where's Becky" he asked

"Christopher, this isn't a good time. I don't think you should be here" Afton said holding the door slightly closed.

Christopher pushed past her into the house

"Becky" he shouted, "Becky" he shouted louder.

Becky looked up from packing her case as she heard Christopher shouts. She walked out and down the stairs carrying her case.

"You can't leave Becky, don't do this" Christopher said.

"Get away from me Christopher" Becky insisted walking past him and outside.

He followed her to her car, she opened the back door and threw in the case.

"You can't ignore me Becky, I know, I know the secret" he said with a coldness in his voice.

Becky looked up at him.

"You want to talk? Lets get in the car" she said.

They sat in the front seat of her cart.

"I know Becky, I know you are pregnant with my child" Christopher said bluntly.

Becky looked down and took out a cigarette and lit it.

"You shouldn't do that" Christopher said.

"I will do what I please, don't tell me what to do. You presume too much Christopher" Becky said

"Look you don't need to run away, I love you, we can be together, we can be a family, I want you, I want the baby" Christopher stated.

Becky laughed

"Get over yourself, this baby isn't yours, John Ross is the father" Becky said

"No, you are lying, you were not together, look Becky, don't be scared of John Ross there are ways to deal with him so we can be together" Christopher replied in a state of desperation.

Becky shook her head. "Listen to me, the baby is not yours, I slept with John Ross, I know its his, because with you I took precautions".

There was silence.

"Does he know about the baby?" Christopher asked in almost a whisper

"That's none of your business, look Christopher, I'm sorry, I really am. It was never my intention to hurt you, but I have, we will never be together, its just not going to happen. I love John Ross, I always have, I always will. What we had was a moment, just a moment. Its gone, its not going to happen and you're just going to make things worse for everyone by trying to change that. I just don't love you, not in that way" Becky explained.

Christopher looked down as a tears welled in his eyes.

"But I love you, I can't change how I feel" he said.

"I'm sorry Christopher, its over. This is difficult for me too, because I know that I care about you, so much. Today I lost my two best friends, I lost you and Iv lost the man I love. But, its my fault, now I have to live with that and so do you, you really do" Becky explained opening the car door. She got out, Christopher did the same thing.

"Its can't end like this Becky" he said.

"Goodbye Christopher, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for all of us" she said and walked into the house.

Christopher stood alone, he got into his car and drove off.

Becky stood crying in Afton's arms.
