Thanks for the reviews again and I'm so happy you guys are liking this story! I was going to go somewhere completely different with Vanessa and Scott but one of awtr101fan's reviews gave me a great idea for a potential storyline so let me know what you think!


Anna sighed as Adam walked into her room. She looked down at the floor and he approached her.

"Charlie let me in." He told her. She nodded, remaining silent and he sighed. "Anna, I'm sorry about the other day… I didn't mean to play with your feelings like that." Anna looked up at him, and waited for him to continue. "I just… I don't know what to do right now, okay?"

"It's pretty simple though, Adam," She said. "You tell someone about what your father is doing to you."

Adam groaned and shook his head. "I can't!"

"Why, Adam? Why can't you?" She questioned, frustrated.

"He's my dad – I can't just put him in jail…" He trailed.

"Look what he's doing to you, Adam!" She shouted, standing up. "He's hurting you 'cause of what? Some stupid game?" She said, but Adam was silent. "You're an amazing hockey player, Adam, and you know it! So don't even try to tell me that you deserved this." She said, pointing to the bruises on his arm.

He shook his head. "I can't, Anna… I can't!"

"Well, then I will!" She shouted, walking towards the door but he pulled her back. "If you tell anyone about this… We won't be together, ever again."

Anna was frightened now. She looked at him, he had never threatened her before, and she was scared. She tried to wriggle free from his grasp but he held on tighter.

"Adam," She said slowly. "You're starting to scare me…"

He let her go, bringing his hands to his face. "What am I doing?" He asked himself, pulling away from her. He looked at her apologetically and left.

Anna fell onto the bed and started crying. What was she going to do now?


"Scott, I…" The woman standing in front of him trailed as he ran his hand up her thigh and kissed her neck. She seemed nervous, but that was not going to stop him. She kissed him back and he undid her dress, pushing her onto the bed. He climbed on top of her and continued kissing every inch of her body until she put her hands on his chest and pushed him away, looking into his eyes.

"What?"

The woman breathed. "Nothing, I'm just… new at this that's all," She told him, and he laughed, causing her to blush. "Don't laugh!" She shouted, playfully hitting his arm. "Having an affair was not part of the plan." She giggled.

Scott shrugged. "You and Jimmy's divorce is almost final, isn't it?"

Vanessa shook her head. "I wasn't talking about me and Jimmy," She started. "I was talking about you and Casey."

"Oh, God," Scott mumbled, pulling away from Vanessa. "Casey… I totally forgot…" He looked at her. "I'm sorry," He said, holding her hand.

She shook her head and pulled away. "No, it's fine," She told him, running her fingers through her long brown hair. "I should have known this was going to happen." She said, as she stood up, putting her dress back on.

"No, Vanessa, please!" Scott said, running towards her and kissing her. "I don't want you to go," He told her. "I want us to be together again… I want us to be a family… you, me and our daughters."

"About that, Scott…" Vanessa trailed, but he interrupted her.

"I know they don't really get along, but we'll make them. Anna's had Charlie as a step-brother for about four years now, and she hated him at first but now she loves him and I'm sure she'll learn to love your daughter too." He rambled, trying to find the right words to say to get her to stop being so nervous. "What is it, Vanessa? What's wrong?"

Vanessa shook her head, and looked up at him, her eyes full of tears. "Livvie isn't Jimmy's daughter," She started. "She's yours."

And just like that, Vanessa had changed Scott's life for good.


"Guy?" Connie said, walking into her boyfriend's dorm. She smiled when she saw him asleep in bed and walked over to join him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly but was alarmed when she saw how pale he had turned. He had been feeling sick for the past few days, but she had not seen him this bad before. She brought her hand to his forehead and almost jumped when she felt how hot it was. "Guy?" She whispered, slightly shaking him.

He turned lazily to face her, and smirked. "You couldn't have let me sleep for five more minutes?" He asked, groggily.

"Guy, you're really burning up!" She told him. "I think we need to take you to the doctor."

Guy groaned. He loved Connie to death but he hated when she got so overly worried and motherly about him. Especially when he was sick. "Connie, I'm fine, it's just the flu, or something."

Connie shook her head. "I think it's more than that, Guy," She said, worriedly. "Can we please just go to the doctor? Just to make sure…"

"Fine!" Guy groaned, rising up. He was barely standing when he felt a sharp pain at the side of his stomach. He arched forward and cried with pain as Connie rushed to his side. "Guy? What's wrong?" She questioned.

"It's been hurting since yesterday," He said, pointing to his side.

"Okay, come on," She said. "Let's take you to the doctor."


After finally getting over the shock of finding out he had another daughter, Scott had told Vanessa he wanted to be with her and was willing to be a father to Livvie. He also told her he would tell Casey about all of this.

He sighed walking up the driveway, not knowing what he would tell his wife. Walking in, he saw Casey in the living room, and assumed Anna and Charlie were out. He walked over to her, kissed her cheek and sat across from her.

She smiled sweetly at him, and he sighed again. "Casey," He started. "There's something I have to tell you." He said.

"Really?" She said. "Well, there's something I have to tell you, too." She said, softly.

"Okay, you first…" He told her because there was no way her news could have been worse then his.

"Well," She started. "Gordon's back in town, and he stopped by a few hours ago," She told him. "He just left, actually." She said. "He wanted to be there for Charlie." She said, and Scott nodded. "That's all, really… What's your news?"

Scott took a deep breath, and ran his fingers through his hair. How was he ever going to tell Casey without her getting hurt?


"Ah, lunch," Dean sighed happily, as he and Livvie sat outside in the courtyard, ready to eat their lunch. "Livvie, are you there?" He asked, laughing, trying to snap Livvie out of her daze.

She shook her head and looked over at him. "Sorry, I was just…"

Dean stared at her. "You OK?" He asked. "You've barely said a word to me all day," He said. "Did something happen with Luis?" She shook her head. "Then what is it?"

She sighed, and looked at him. "My parents are getting a divorce." She told him, and his heart immediately went out to his best friend.

"Aw, shit... Livvie, I'm so sorry." He said, placing an arm on her shoulder, comfortingly.

She shook her head. "It's fine… Well, it's not fine, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it," She said, sadly. "It just plain sucks."

"I know," Dean nodded, hugging her close to him. "I know."

Meanwhile, Julie watched jealously from afar and mentally kicked herself in the head for not taking Dean when she had the chance.


The doctors had finally finished going over the tests while Connie and Guy waited anxiously in the doctor's office. Guy sat back lazily, while Connie was alert and seated neatly on the chair next to Guy's. She reached over and grabbed his hand, prepared for the worst.

Connie took a deep breath as she watched the doctor walk into the office and take his seat. "So, is he going to be OK?" Connie asked immediately.

The doctor looked up at them and sighed. "I'm so sorry, Guy," The doctor started, and Connie looked over at Guy, worriedly, as the grip on her hand tightened. "You have Leukemia…"

The rest was just a blur for Connie and Guy.
