Do NOT own it. Really wish I did.

"Knowing Nicky Cottero was breathing down her neck and knowing that Tommy went to meet with him, did not help settle Kris' stomach at all."

I walked into Sean's hospital room and smiled at Mrs Donnelly and Jenny. I looked over at Sean, his bruised face and then I looked back to Mrs Donnelly. Jenny nodded, getting up.
"I'm gonna get some coffee," she muttered, walking out. I sat down next to her and she took my hand.
"I heard about your uncle, dear," she said. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I told her. "I'll be fine." I looked out the window at the blue sky and sighed. I looked back to Mrs Donnelly. "Have you seen Kevin and Tommy?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"I think they went to visit Jimmy," she told me when the doctor came in. Mrs Donnelly stood up, greeting the doctor with a polite handshake.
"I have some news," she said to Mrs Donnelly. She waited patiently. "He's well enough to be moved out of ICU."
"Well enough?" she asked. The doctor nodded.
"Yes, we will be putting him on the fourth floor," the doctor began but was interupted by me.
"Fourth floor? What's on the fourth floor?" I asked, standing up.
"The ward," Mrs Donnelly answered my question. "Why are you putting him there?"
"We need the bed," the doctor said. "And he's well enough to be moved." And with that, the doctor turned on her heels and left. Mrs Donnelly looked towards me.
"Do you have a cell phone?" she asked me. I nodded, handing her my phone.
"Who you calling?" I asked.
"Kevin and Tommy," was her reply.

"When Kevin came to me for help to bail Jimmy out, I knew I was in trouble, and I will admit, Kevin scared me a bit," Joey said. "So, I called up some back up."

"What did you have to call her for?" Kevin asked Joey. Of course, he thought I didn't hear him so I ended up punching his arm. "Ouch! What was that for?"
"I'm right here, idiot," I told him. "I can hear you!"
"You see, that's the reason I called her, right there," Joey said. "She's scary."
"Stuff it, Joey," I said to him. "I don't want you showing your face at my apartment tonight asking for something." Kevin turned to look at Joey.
"What did you do?" Kevin asked, about to punch Joey. I got in between them because I really didn't want to see Joey bleed to death in front of me.
"And you," I said, shoving Kevin away from me. "You're trying to get Jimmy outta jail? Are you insane? Have you totally lost your mind?!"
"He needs to get out of there," Kevin said. I just shook my head.
"No, Kevin," I said. "This is what Tommy is trying to get through your thick skull: Jimmy gets out, he goes to get high and then he goes to start more problems for you and your brothers, do you want that?" He just looked at me, blinking.
"No," he finally answered. "But he needs this, he can't stay in there." I sighed and ran my hands through my hair and looked back at Joey.
"He's your problem," I told him and began walking away. "Call me if you need to get out of jail yourselves."
"Wha-Kris!" Joey called.

"So while Kevin and I went to figure out a legal way to bail Jimmy outta jail, Kris was dealing with her own problems."

I was crossing the street when a car pulled out in front of me, stopping in the middle of it. I looked at Reilly's Diner, the place I was heading and closed my eyes, putting my hands on my hips. I re-opened my eyes to look down at my father, who had rolled his window down for me.
"Get in," he demanded.
"Dad, I was gonna go get something to eat..." I began but he cut me off.
"Won't be long, get in," he said. I went behind the car and got in on the other side.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"Where were you last night?" he asked me. "I was trying to get a hold of you."
"I was home all night until I got a call that Sean Donnelly was in the hospital," I told him. Lying through my teeth obviously but still, he didn't know that. "I must've left my cell phone."
"I was also trying to get a hold of you this morning," he said.
"I went home late last night, crashed, then went back to the hospital to check on Mrs Donnelly," I said, rubbing my neck. He nodded.
"How is Sean anyway?" he asked cooly.
"He's gonna be okay from what I've seen," I said. "Just banged up. He's getting out of ICU." I waited for a second before saying, "Why is Nicky Cottero the one coming to see me and tell me that Huey is dead?" I looked right in his eyes.
"I didn't want to burden you with it until I knew what happened," he told me. I nodded.
"I'm gonna go get something to eat, 'kay, dad?" I said and without waiting for a response I got out of the car.
"Hey!" he called before I slammed the door. I leaned down to see what he wanted. "I love you." I gave a small smile.
"I love you too, daddy."

"It was killing her, lying to her father but she knew what he was. She knew what he was capable of and she knew she had to protect the Donnelly's from it. Even if it meant she had to lie to her flesh and blood."

A few hours later after my rumbling tummy was cured, I went back to the hospital to check on Mrs Donnelly and Sean. The elevator dinged on the fourth floor and I got out, walking down the hall and ran into Mrs Donnelly herself. I smiled at her.
"How is he?" I asked. She smiled a bit.
"He's going to be just fine, thank you, dear," she said. "Kevin and Tommy are already in there. I'm getting Seanie something to eat, I'll be back." And with that, she left me to walk down the hallway alone. I entered the ward and walked over to Sean's bed. Kevin and Tommy were on either side. I stood next to Kevin and smiled down at Sean.
"Hey, bud," I said, poking his head softly. "How's the noggin?" He just smiled.
"It's fine," he said. "Hey, where's Jimmy?"
"Jimmy's going to rehab," Tommy answered, smiling. I looked over at Kevin, who I just now noticed looked pretty beat up.
"Yeah, about that..." Kevin said, trailing off. My hand immediatly went to my head, rubbing my temple.
"Kevin," I groaned.
"What did you do, Kevin?" Tommy asked, he was getting a wee bit pissed if you asked me.
"I didn't do anything," Kevin said immediatly. "The witness got hit by a bus."
"A bus, Kevin?" Tommy said, disbelief in his voice and he began reaching across the bed to try to get to Kevin. "A bus?!" Sean was a little scared, being injured and in the middle of two quarreling brothers. I pulled Kevin away from Tommy and Tommy walked away, out the doors. I looked at Kevin.
"A bus is the best you can come up with?" I asked, shaking my head.
"I'm not lying," Kevin said to me. I looked at Sean and smiled.
"I'll see you later, bud," I said and before I turned to leave, I gave Kevin a glare and headed out the door. He caught up with me before I even reached the elevator.
"I swear, it's true," Kevin said as I hit the button to catch the elevator.
"Yeah, sure," I said. I wanted to ignore him so badly but it was Kevin, I couldn't. He grabbed my arm and made me look at him.
"I swear to you, I wouldn't lie about it," Kevin said firmly. "I didn't mean to hurt him." I shoved Kevin away from me and he hit the wall. That's when I lost it with him.
"You're not stupid, Kev!" I said, smacking him. "Jimmy's out now and he's gonna go back into his own little stupid world and forget everybody else, even if you care about him! It's Jimmy for Christ sake! And you," I continued, smacking him again. "You know better by now! You just let him push you around!" The elevator dinged and I turned and got in it. Before I hit the button, I said one more thing, one thing that had been on my mind since we took care of Louie Downtown's body, "I honestly don't know why you didn't kiss me when you had the chance, unless you were playing with my head." I let the doors close on Kevin's face as he tried to reach the door before it did. I sniffled and let the tears glisten my eyes, but I wouldn't let them fall.

"It's sad to say that she had feelings for Kevin ever since she was 14. Kevin, of course, had them back but, her being Dokey's daughter, it was never really a big turn on for the Donnelly boys. But, as God as my witness, he loved that girl almost as much as Tommy loved Jenny. But there was that little part of him that wouldn't get the guts to be with her."

I think a lot of the boys are afraid of her. Perfection!
