The next day, Cherry woke up with a massive hangover. She picked up her phone and called Sully.

"What do you want, you slut?" he answered.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgHkAp6iHx
"Excuse me?" Cherry said. "I wanted to know if you wanted to spend the day with me before you drop me off at the airport tomorrow for rehab"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvSpeRPlPt
"Cherry, I want nothing to do with you" Sully said. "You cheated on me with my own brother, who is engaged, more than once!" He hung up.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xWKXXP0fW
Cherry called Stitch.
"What?" he answered.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgXLExzma8
"Stitch, what happened last night?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsscgv14UO
"We had sex, Cherry" Stitch said. "You seduced me, and Sully walked in on us. He's threatening to tell the woman I love, and I have to tell her before he does. I can't talk to you. Bye, Cherry. Get some help"
Stitch hung up the phone, and grabbed his car keys. His phone rang again. It was Muffins.
"Yes?" Stitch answered.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQmLlf5zTq
"Strawberry is pregnant with my baby" Muffins said.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFta0eCcfU
"Oh, wow, uh, congrats, man" Stitch said.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UiDYD71oH
"I'm scared" said Muffins. "What's it like being a dad?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXUlbJHgSZ
"It's fine, as long as you don't screw it up like I did. Muffins, I can't talk to you right now. I'm sorry"
Stitch got in his car and drove to Pixie's house.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYXRCVGCW
"Hey, Baby" Pixie opened the door. "Your daughter has started her terrible twos early. She's in time out for coloring on my walls"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaN7hpORsO
"Pix, sit down" Stitch pushed past her and sat on the couch. "I fucked up, and I have to be the one who tells you"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G7NIq73Q1
Pixie sat down with a worried look on her face.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcuDCOEpoL
"I was seduced yesterday, by Cherry" Stitch said. "She was wasted, and it just sort of happened. We had sex. And it wasn't the first time. We also had sex when Sully was in the hospital. It meant nothing, she means nothing. I'm so sorry"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsZe3GUn4
Pixie said nothing.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGsWQFaqeu
"Pix?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgamMg7IGgZ
"Did you like it?" Pixie asked, as her eyes welled up with tears.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADrJ2JZJQe
"No" Stitch said. "Pixie, I love you. I have a daughter with you. I'm engaged to you. I hope we can work past this. I love you and London more than anything. I fucked up, but I hope you will forgive me and we can work through this"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPUYR7b1N6
"I can't trust you anymore" Pixie said quietly. "I love you, I want this to work. But I can't trust you. I just need some time to process this. Please leave me alone for now. And take this"
She took her ring off and handed it to Stitch, who sadly got up and walked back to his car.

Later on, Muffins showed up to Strawberry's house. "Are you ready?" he asked, referring to the doctors appointment they had to confirm the pregnancy.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKuCrpBat
"Yeah" Strawberry smiled, as they walked to the car.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P5y15BHDK
They got to the doctor and were seen right away.
"Let's take a look at your baby" the doctor smiled, as she started the ultrasound machine. "There's definitely a baby in there. You can't see much yet, since you aren't very far along, but everything seems to be developing well"
Muffins and Strawberry smiled.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp59V9PBTU
On the car ride home, Strawberry asked "Muffins, are we together or what?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECgPHWrvU
Muffins squeezed her hand and smiled.
"Yes" he said, "I won't leave you. I love you"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIhfhfJDSF
"I love you too" Strawberry smiled.

The next day was supposed to be the day Cherry left for rehab, and Sully was supposed to take her to the airport.
Cherry sat in her room, suitcase packed, wondering how she would get there. Suddenly there was a knock on her door. She got up, and there was Sully.
"Your front door was unlocked" he said.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkJZDFWa2
Cherry said nothing.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmsKfOLk6r
"You ready to go?" Sully asked.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpycgXPP023
Cherry nodded, and walked out to Sully's car with her suitcase.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFoNiSWo6
"I'm glad you're getting help" he said, as they pulled out of her driveway.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu6qHepRLf
"Why aren't you screaming at me?" Cherry asked. "I fucked up badly"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL78VLyjNAn
"Because you need help" Sully said. "I'm not sure if you got the hint, but we are broken up"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdS64Kwju1
"Oh" Cherry said quietly.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRybAPPqha
"I don't think we can ever be together again," Sully continued. "I mean, I can't please you like Stitch can. You said so yourself"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9gXeepa7J
"Sully, I don't even remember Pancake's party" Cherry said. "I was so wasted"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MOf38UBMI
"You drank yourself crazy because you were pissed about the intervention" Sully said, pulling onto the highway. "Did you really fuck him more than once?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM9eKiM4al
"Yeah" Cherry said quietly. "When you were in the hospital. And I blew Muffins for cocaine"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLauxXmEfa
Sully shook his head. "Anyone else?"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zr3fxFWbi
"No" Cherry said.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPuRMfWUH
They were quiet for awhile.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6DNvuXLnW
"Will you write me while I'm gone?" Cherry asked.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0WjS2K3U
"Yeah, sure" Sully was gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were white. "I wonder if Pixie forgave my stupid brother."
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfTVNUgLa
"They have a kid together," Cherry said. "She has to deal with him one way or another"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbgOvovGPX
"Maybe I should fuck her" Sully said. "Give her another kid. London would have a sibling and a cousin all in one"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCP1LklqHo
Cherry said nothing the rest of the way there.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROS41QrbC8
"Do you need help with your bags?" Sully asked, once they arrived.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgmOGz6Yw
"Yes, thanks" Cherry said, getting out of the car.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFJhZqBCDf
They carried her bags in silently.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw1tHvqQPi
"Well, maybe I'll see you in 90 days" Sully said. "Don't fuck any coke heads" he chuckled quietly.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgdwvDuiO3
"Can I have a kiss?" Cherry asked.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxQb0WmH0d
"No" said Sully. "I'll see you in 90 days"
He gave her a one armed crap hug, and walked away.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVnahorB84
"If he looks back, there's still hope" Cherry whispered.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTun6fkwQi7
Sully turned around, waved, and turned the corner.
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHvdN1jjG
"Flight 182 now boarding"
420Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHoCbqYVL9
END OF 9 MILE (for now....)
