Welcome to Slater's

On one hand, he wanted to remain angry at Izzy for all she had done, but this changed things. He had to do what was right for their unborn child, regardless of what differences he had with Izzy at the moment. His anger toward her didn’t change the fact that he loved her, but he didn’t want to use the child as an excuse to make things work. He knew things never ended well that way. No— if they were going to keep this child, they had to keep it for the right reasons. He just didn’t know if they would keep it for the right reasons.

She'd seen first hand what happened when a couple stayed together because they felt obligated to--the child suffered. Izzy didn't want that to happen. She might have done some bad things, might have even been a horrible person but that wasn't the child's fault--and it wasn't Jamie's fault either.

"Well," she started, raking a hand through her tangled hair. Izzy squeezed her eyes shut, her throat suddenly tight with emotion. He was saying this now, but would he if she told him? Could she tell him?

You have to tell him.

"I don't want it to feel like that either." she admitted. "I know that doesn't work--especially for the kid." she sighed and leaned back against the couch, mulling over his words.
