Italic means voice over the phone...duh.

Jesse was sitting in the kitchen staring out the window when she heard the phone ring. She walked over to it and reads the caller ID and mumbles 'who the hell.'
"Hello Toki residence," Jesse said politely
"Hello, Can I ask whom I'm speaking to?"
"Jesse, Who is this?" Jesse said annoyed. Sounded like another annoying snooty voice.
"Hey Jesse its Tai, your brother."
Jesse stopped breathing. 'This is a dream' she thought 'There is no way my brother is calling me. It's not possible after the years of being ignored I'm finally being answered...There's no way heaven is being that nice to me.' (A/N Just to let you know Tai put her on speaker phone while she was 'daydreaming.')
"Is this some kind of a joke. If this is one of Max's friends you guys are so dead." Jesse said still in shock.
"No, no joke its really Tai and Kari's here, too. We just found some letters dad wrote to us. We decided to answer them since mom wouldn't."
"So you thought you would call to make up for mom's absents if you will and that would make everything better. Let me tell you something Tai, for the last 5 years of my life I've been trying to get you guys to at least talk to me. I don't know what I was thinking, I don't care anymore. Don't call again, Tai, I don't need your pity."
"Why would we pity you, Jess?"
"Don't call me that! You don't deserve to call me that, you're a stranger to me, Tai. You said you read those letters I assume you read the ones about me in the hospital. Like I said I don't need your pity."
"Jesse," Kari's voice rang over the phone, "It's not our fault. We didn't know mom was keeping this from us. We had no clue."
"Don't give me that, didn't you ever question. Didn't you ever wonder why your father wouldn't call? I wondered every day why mom hated me. I tried to call and you guys never even looked my way. I hate you!" With that Jesse hung up and ran upstairs.
-Tai's house-
Tai clicked the off button on the phone and looked at everyone.
"We should have expected that you know." Said Kari, " Who would let somebody in after years of being ignored? We weren't being fair in assuming we'd welcomed with open arms."
"You know what they say about assuming it makes an ass out of you and me." Davis said trying to lighten the mood. It didn't help.
"Maybe we should try again later and see if we could talk to dad," Tai said.
"Why would you do that?" A voice came from the doorway.
"Mom you're home early,"
"Why would you want to contact a man who ignored you your whole life?"
"Give it up mom, we know" Kari said holding up the notes dad had sent them.
-Jesse's house-
'Damn it' She mentally yelled 'Why did I do that. Am I that much of a monster? I finally got my chance and I blew it! But I can't help but feel that I had a reason to do that. Now maybe they will feel my pain. But I don't want them to feel my pain, nobody should have to live with that. I'm so confused.' Jesse's thoughts were spinning in her head.
'Maybe I could start over' She thought 'But how...The digital world, of course, I could see them while I'm there and one day I'll be able to approach them and we could be a family again.'
-Tai's house-
"How? Why?"
"Mom, that wasn't fair. We should be asking you why. Why did you not tell us?"
"I was afraid that you would want to live with your dad and leave me all alone."
"That's not good enough, your acting like a kid you should have known better." Kari said obviously hurt.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Their mom said as she fell to the floor crying.
"It's ok." Tai said hugging his mom "it's ok, but we want to meet her."
Their mom looked at them quietly. "Ok" She finally said sighing. "I'll talk to your father."
"No" Tai said "We are going to do this. Jesse's been trying for years and know we're going to try. Don't worry mom, we'll never leave you."
With that said the group went to the digital world to talk about their plan without any adults interfering. What they didn't know is, on the other side of the world, Jesse was doing the exact same thing.
