Chapter 1….

It was a sunny saturdaymorning in may and justin was slowly waking up when he realized that sage wasn't laying next to him,so he got up and walked downstairs,looking for his girlfriend,untill he found her in the kitchen;"Hey,what are you doing downhere instead of in bed next to me?"

"My beeper went off almost five hours ago,so I had to go to the hospital and I just got back."said sage looking up;"Coffee?"

"Yeah,sure."answered her boyfriend as he sat down next to her and watched her getting him a cup of coffee;"Why didn't you wake me up,sage?"

"At four in the morning?"laughed she while she gave him the cup and kissed him as she sat down again;"Then you would have been a grumpy old man by now."

"Probaly."smiled justin and kissed her back;"So,do you have to get back to the hospital again today?"

"No,I'm not on call anymore as of an hour ago,justin."said his girlfriend;"Why?"

"Then I'm taking you back to bed and we can enjoy a quiet saturdaymorning in bed."answered he while he got up and pulled sage with him out of the kitchen;"Luke is over at a friend's house and we've got the whole place to ourselves untill tonight."

Shawn was sitting in the kitchen with his twinsister when they heard loud,angry voices coming from the first floor;"Looks like mom and dad are at it again."

"They have been fighting a lot."said Courtney worried;"I hate it when they fight."

"Me too."answered her brother;"I'm sure it will pass,court,I wouldn't worry about it."

"How can you say that?"asked she softly;"They have been fighting almost every day for the last month or so."

"So?"started shawn annoyed;"That doesn't mean that their marriage is in trouble or anything,Courtney,they're probably just both overworked or something."

"Hi,guys."said his father as he came into the kitchen and went straight out the backdoor;"See you tonight."

"Shane!"called Nicole on after him,walking into the kitchen,and saw that he was already gone;"Damn it!"

"Are you okay,mom?"asked her daughter worried;"Is everything allright?"

"Everything's fine."answered she with a fake smile and walked away again;"Just fine."

"See what I mean?"said Courtney as she turned towards shawn;"Everything is far from being fine!"

"It'll pass,court,it will."started her brother in an attempt to make his sister feel better;"You'll see."

At the hudson's kristy was having breakfast with her daughter when jake came downstairs and kissed them both;"Goodmorning,ladies."

"Goodmorning."smiled his wife as he sat down;"I'm taking amy for her first horse-ride today,jake,wanna come along?"

"You're taking her for a horse-ride?"asked he surprised;"The girl is barely two,kris,don't you think she's a bit young for that?"

"I wasn't even two yet when my parents took me on my first horseback-ride and it's not like I'm gonna let her ride alone."laughed kristy;"She'll do fine."

"If you say so."said her husband not convinced;"And ofcourse I will come along,because I wouldn't wanna miss my princess' first horseback-ride,kris."

"I'm going right after breakfast."answered she;"Because later today I have to meet with jon about something."

"You're going to go to the office today?"asked jake surprised;"I thought that we had both agreed that you wouldn't be working during weekends?"

"I know what we've agreed on and if this could wait untill Monday I wouldn't be going,but this can't wait and I need to meet with jon later today,jake,it won't take long and I'll be back before you'll even know I'm gone."said his wife irritated;"Besides,I already told you about this lastnight."

"I had other things on my mind lastnight."smiled he teasing and kissed kristy again;"Go and have your meeting,beautyfull,I'll stay here with amy and when you get back we can all go to the playground with our little princess."

Around lunchtime Kathleen was standing behind the counter at mary's place,while she was talking to her sister and her mother,when ginny walked in;"Hey,honey,happy birthday."

"Hi."said her daughter with a faint smile;"I just came to tell you that I probably won't make it for dinner tonight,mom,I have to work late."

"On your birthday?"asked she surprised;"I'm sure that your boss would understand that you can't work late tonight if you tell him that it's your birthday."

"Don't make such a big deal out of this,mom,I will come to dinner another time."started ginny annoyed;"I'm not gonna ask lucas to give me special threatment just because it's my birthday."

"I'm not making a big deal out of this,honey,but we always have a big family dinner on your birthday eversince you moved into your own place."answered her mother when ginny suddenly turned around and walked away with an angry look;"Ginny….?"

"I have to get back to work."said she and kept on walking away;"We'll have dinner some other time."

"What was that all about?"asked mary worried;"I have never seen ginny act like that before."

"Neither have i."said her youngest daughter and looked at Kathleen;"Is everything okay,Kathleen?"

"I don't know."answered she as worried as the rest;"Ginny has been like this a lot lately,so i wonder what is going on with her."

Nick was getting ready to go to the club,to work,when he heard somebody coming in through the backdoor and to his surprise he found alex in the kitchen with her bags;"What are you doing here,alex,shouldn't you be in new York?"

"No,I came home because I missed you guys."answered she;"Where's the rest?"

"Lindsay is at school,mom's at mary's place and dad's at tops."said nick;"For how long are you staying?"

"I don't know yet,nick,I haven't decided."started his sister slowly;"How are things at the club."

"Do you want to know how things are at the club or how Darren is doing?"asked he;"You should be glad you're not with that guy anymore,alex,he's a real jerk."

"Why are you suddenly so mad at him?"answered alex surprised;"He didn't break up with you."

"No,but how he has treated you has made me very angry!"said her brother,but the look on alex's made him realize that it was still a sore subject with her and he decided to change the subject quickly;"Mom and dad and Lindsay will be happy to see you back again."

At the policestation adam was working on some paperwork in his office when shane came in with his son;"Hi,adam,did you skip lunch?"

"Yes,I had a lot of paperwork to do."said his friend;"There's still no lead as to who is behind our drug-problem yet."

"Have you heard anything from devon lately?"asked shawn curious;"Is she coming back again soon,adam,it's been a while since she's been here."

"She called a few days ago and said that she might be coming home for a while soon."answered he;"That's good news,isn't it?"

"It sure is."started the captain slowly;"Is she still enjoying life on the road?"

"I don't know,shane,my daughter doesn't say much about that over the phone or in her letters,but I guess she must be enjoying it or else she would have come home by now."said adam with a faint smile;"I wish she'd come home forgood,but I don't want to stand in her way of what she wants to do and I guess touring around the country and making music is what she wants to do right now."
