"Im sorry guys, we're gonna need you both a little longer than I thought.. Is that ok with you?" Asked the director, obviously not caring wether it was ok with them or not. They both knew they had to.
"Sure, I'll just have to call Jill to pick up Darby and Sul"
"Yeah, I should text Chris for Stella"

From Ellen
To Chris
Hey, need to stay on set longer, can u come pick up Stella?

From Chris
To Ellen
Im busy rn. I'll be home in 2 hours..

"Shit he can't pick her up"
-Oh, well, it's okay, I'm sure Jill wont mind taking her home and then bringing her to your house, patrick offered. Jillian was always complaining about being bored, and Stella was a sweetheart, she wouldn't mind.
-Are you sure, God that would be great, thanks Pat" she kissed him quickly on the cheek and ran back to the makeup and hair department where they were impatiently waiting for her.

From Ellen
To Chris
Its ok, jills taking her, she'll bring her home around 8PM

***************************

Jillian arrived 15 minutes later and parked her Jeep. She walked up to the set and was surprised to see only a few people around. After all it was only 7PM, and she didnt see any members of the cast, not even Sandra. And Sandra was always there. Her two little boys suddenly appeared, running out of nowhere followed by Stella who was laughing hysterically behind them.

"Hey boys! How was your day? Hi Stella! How are you?" she asked sweetly
"Hi Mrs Patty, I'm fine thanks!"
"Where's your daddy?" Asked Jill to her smallest son.
"He said he's there, but we cant go in cuz it's work stuff" answered Darby pointing to a door that said "Meredith and Derek's house"
"Dont move I'll be back in a few minutes, ok sweeties?"
"Ok mom"
"Yep, Mrs Patty!"

Jill walked to the door, her high heels clicking on the wooden floor, and echoing in the empty space
"Shit" said Patrick to Ellen as he heard the sound of the familiar heels "shit, shit, shit"
"Whats the matter?" Asked Ellen, worrying at the sound of his panicky voice. She couldn't help giggle at his fail attempt of climbing out of the bath, slipping right behind her and falling back inside.
"Oh shit" she cursed, as she heard the sound of Jill's voice talking to a crew member downstairs.
"Hi, excuse me I'm looking for my husband, Patrick Dempsey, do you know where I could find him?"
"Umm yeah, he's umm upstairs but he's kinda shooting right now so umm, I'm not sure you wanna go. I mean I'm not trying to intrude or anything but-"
"Don't worry, thanks" she climbed up the stairs and stopped at the top. She saw the director and his assistant, talking and drinking coffee in their "directors chairs" but no other crew member. Weird, she thought, they usually have so many people taking care of their hair. And where's the cute lighting guy? she wondered as she knocked on a half opened door.
"Come in" Patrick answered with a groan, knowing exactly who it was.
She burst into the room but stopped short at the sight in front of her. Patrick and Ellen naked in the bath. Well ok not completely naked, they were both wearing skin colored bathing suits but still.. And Ellen was definitely topless.
Yep, no bathing suit there. Though Patrick's hands were doing a pretty good job at covering them, she noticed. She was rendered speechless and couldn't move. She just stared at them for a solid two minutes with Patrick staring sheepishly back at her, trying to get up from underneath Ellen; the latter blushing profusely trying to hide her lady parts.
"I.. Uh... I came to pick up the kids, I should... Uh leave you two.. Just do.. Work, whatever"
"Jill, it's not-"
"Yeah uh its fine.. I'll ... I'll just leave"

She ran down the stairs crossing the lighting guy, who smiled awkwardly at her, utterly confused as noticed her shocked face. "C'mon kids, we're leaving" the children followed her, still excited and completely unaware of her shaking and pale figure. She buckled them into their seats and drove to her house always staring straight ahead, not able to take the image of her almost-naked husband pressed against his topless costar. In a bath. With his hands on her breasts.

"Hey Tal, put your brothers to bed I'll be back soon. I have to bring Stella home" she asked, still thinking about Patrick and Ellen. How long had it been going on? Do they do that sort of thing often?
"Mom are you okay?" She asked worriedly, noticing how her mother wasn't looking at her but kept a distant look in her eyes.
"Im fine just tired, please make sure they fall asleep"
"Yeah, of course mom, don't worry"
