As he marched her away a cruel laugh escaped her lips, it had always been her way of hiding her feelings, resorting to the bad side of herself. "Fine if you think you love her, so be it," whirling around she stared at him, the anger in the barely masking the pain, but she wouldn't allow herself to imagine life without him, she would bring back the Gabby who was so good at dealing with things, Gabriella the ice queen. Glancing at Cissy she gave her a blank look, though it didn't mean anything.

Corbin grabbed her shoulders, anger taking ove rhim as well. This was how Gabby dealt with anything. But she couldn't shut her emotions down anymore. They had a child. He needed to be away from both women to figure something out. Maybe Cissy would let him stay with her. Shaking Gabby he yelled. "It's not about YOU Gabriella! It's about Emmaline. Pull your head out of your ass. Grow up." He spat. He was done with dealing with her shit right now.
Turning around swiftly he walked, feeling something rip out of him with every step. What was wrong with him?

Cissy stepped forward to the couple, grabbing Corbin by the shoulder and wrapping her arms around him from behind. "Let it be... Please Corbin." She whispered, pulling him back slightly.
Cissy offered a blank look to Gabby, her eyes brimming with tears. Placing a hand on her cheek briefly, she turned to follow Corbin, picking up the pace a bit.

Stumbling back slightly when he let go of him, she looked at him in shock, how could she use her defences when he was like that? Closing her eyes briefly for strength she did her best at a march, but instead of heading to her room, she wrenched open the door to the nursery and plunged inside, arriving at her daughters crib and reaching for her. Bundling the child into the blanket she gave Corbin one more look, "Grow up? I'm not the one who is throwing everything away just because he wants two women, I hope it was worth it Corbin," she didn't even care how hypocritical she was being. Glancing at Cissy she gave her a small smile. "Sorry Cis." With a loud crack she disappeared with the baby, it was her prefered way, no one knew where she was going.

Corbin stopped by a machine and began flicking his wand so numbers punched and a dirnk flew at him. "Cissy..." He said, but nothing he wanted tos ay sounded right as he looked at the woman who'd kept him sane since day one when they screamed at each other. How was it he'd been with these two women, they'd had his children. He and Gabby had been strong he thought..but she was sensitive. Bella just didn't let go. He sucked his soda down before ordering another one. remmebering his firewhiskey days made him smirk lightly.

Cissy shook her head at Gabby and offered a smile. "Don't give up yet, Gab. Everything will be fine. I promise." She muttered, catching up with Corbin and settling in front of him. She stayed quiet as he struggled for words... Shaking her head with a soft smile. Cissy reached up and wrapped her arms around him. It was all she could offer at the moment. She wanted him to know she was there for him... They had already been through it all together. The same child birth floor so many years ago....

"I must be f*cking crazy Cissy....I love...both...can't...have both..." He wasn't sure what was wrong with him. It was hard to breathe. "I need to be there for my daughters..." His breath was cut short, reaching up he took off his tie and loosened his collar. Air was still in short supply.

"I know, Corbin." Cissy sighed, hugging him tight. There wasn't much she could say...
"You can't have both, correct. But you do love both, just not in the same way. You can't tell me you didn't wonder every day what things would have been like with Bella..." Cissy paused, wiping her eyes. "And either way, you will be there for your daughters. You divorced Bella with two kids... And they turned out alright. For once you need to think of yourself. Please Corbin. Just do something for yourself... And by being in between both, your just hurting yourself."
Cissy paused, her breathing heavy.
"You know I'm here for you. Always. And if you ever need a place to stay, my house and all my stuff is open to you."

Hugging Cissy back he remembered her shampoo. He'd spilled the bottle once bathing the girls when Cissy stayed at their apartment. The girls loved it. He laughed out loud, not really realizing it. When he stopped he nodded. "I'm being selfish...I don't want to string them along. So I won't be with either." He concluded.

Cissy smiled as he laughed, resting her arms on his shoulders. "Thats the problem though, Corbin. You're not thinking of yourself at all. I haven't seen one moment that you've acted selfish. You need to think about what you want... Maybe you can't decide. Maybe it is best you leave both... But only if thats what you want." Narcissa paused, offering a comforting smile.
"And I know you pretty well, Corbin. You're my best friend. And I know thats not what you want."

Nodding in agreement Corbin put his hand to his head. Advice from Alisia running through his mind. -boys and girls can never be friends.- Sighing he leaned against the machine and thought for a moment. "I always seem to want what I can't have. Make sense? Someone always gets fucked." He said quietly, punching out another soda.

"Does seem to turn out like that, doesn't it?" Cissy sighed, resing her hands on her full stomach. "As much as I'd like to make things easy for you, and help you work it out, Its really only your decision. Maybe you should stay with Gabby... You've lived without Bella for a while and survived with Gabby." Cissy shook her head, wiping her eyes again. "Maybe it killed you for ten years and you need Bella. Only you know, Corbin. But you don't need to end up alone over it."

"Alone for awhile...maybe one of them will walk away. Make sense?" He asked, gulping some more soda, buying one for Cissy evne though he wasn't sure she wanted one. "The one that's still standing there when I'm not as stupid....thats her?" He asked...wondering quietly if he sounded absolutely insane

Cissy nodded in thanks and sipped the soda, pondering what he had said. "I suppose that could work. But what happens if one walks away, and you can't help but wonder what things would have been like with that one? It won't be that easy..." She finished, drinking from the bottle again.
"I don't think you'll get one of them handed to you, Corb. You'll have to eventually make the final decision. Maybe its neither of them... You never know."

Hearing her say neither of them flitted across his mind. Part of him loved each woman in a different way. But most of him was saying...it was done with them both. He'd tried for Gabby....and it'd worked for years. She just wasn't happy enough..or something. A lot of it he was sure was his fault.
Finishing his soda he crushed the can. Fighting the urge to kidnap Narcissa so they could go be stupid and wild like they had at 17. "Maybe....I can't be with either....I can't...." He whispered, shaking his head. "I can't .... I don't know. I want to know my daughters.."
