Cowgirls Don't Cry.

"But im worried about him....and you...you havent been fighting lately, its weird, stop it." Kevin shook his head at his father.

"You want us to fight?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Well....just...If you dont fight its weird and when couples dont fight they dont care any more and they get a divorce and all and I want you both here, loving each other and me and Rick...."
Jr was gone.

"Baby we never used to fight and we were fine. We divorced when we DID fight..."

Kevin frowned...
They still hadn't remarried since his mother had divorced his father after the whole Dustin thing.

And Alex hated it.... but he understood it was his punishment..

Mike pretended he didn't notice but he himself hated it, he missed being Mike Riley, now he was referred to as Mr.Mizanin and what not..

ALex always called him Mike Riley... in his head anyways..

Mike's hand took Alex's, intertwining their ringless fingers. The man was going back to himself but her still held the fact that Alex had cheated in his heart but now...he was determined Alex loved him and wouldnt do it again, just like he wouldnt ever touch Rick again.

And Alex wouldn't...
So many years had passed and he still refused to drink alcohol.

Mike watched him, seeing about it, seeing if he was drinking, if he dared drink again but he didn't, it gave Mike so much hope for the future. Just little things he noticed Alex did for him....

Alex tried his hardest to show Mike he was serious this time. HE'd never cheat again...

And Mike has made sure he stay away from Rick, he had been very distant with him, and it was weird, he and Rick, even though they fought, were very close.

Rick didin't like it. He missed his momma. But he knew there was a reason. He felt awful for sleeping with Mike and he wanted them to fix things with each other.

Mike missed his baby too but he didn't know how to go about fixing things with him and Alex and things with him and Rick but he was trying, he truly was.

They needed to be fixed soon... things just werent the same...

No they were not, Mike needed things to be fixed with his lover and with his baby, Rick, even though he was not really Mike's, Mike loved him just like he did his other kids and sometimes MORE than he loved his other kids.

Mike was Rick's mother, plain and simple. He'd never had a real mother until Mike..

And Mike knew this, which was one reason he hated it so much, his poor baby needed a momma and he wasn't there.

Rick acted like it didn't bother him but it really did...
So much...
First his baby was gone, now his momma.

And Mike wanted to fix it, he needed to...
He poked Kevin, nodding up the stairs.
"Go see if Rick can't to come join us baby.

Alex watched him and nodded. he'd forgiven Rick slowly but surely..

Kevin nodded,getting up and jogging to his and Rick's room, tapping on the door.
"Sweetness...Momma wants you to come see us..."

"Really?" Rick raised an eyebrowl

Kevin nodded, tugging his hand.
"Mhmmm, momma wants her babies down to spend time with him, Daddy and Chris and Dev."
