Wilhelmina wasn't in the office for the whole week since that night. She wouldn't answer any phone calls and she wouldn't even open her door. Connor finally decided to visit her, after hours of calling and banging on her door she reluctantly let him in, it wasn't too pleasant.

"Hey." She leaned in to kiss him but he pulled away. "What?"

"We need to talk."

"Sure." She sat down on the couch as he spoke.

"I know things have been hard for the past two months with your kids and everything. But I feel that there is no room for me."

"What?"

"I know it seems selfish but you want all of me and I expect the same in return."

"Seriously, you're jealous of my kids."

"Technically they are your kids. But you don't have custody of them, I don't know why you waste your time. You think you will magically be able to gain custody. I think not."

"Do you hear yourself?"

"Yes Wilhelmina. Are you even thinking? You spend almost all your time with them. I'm losing you to them"

"They are my kids. I do not spend all my time with them."

"Not only your kids, but their father too."

"Daniel, you think I'm interested in Daniel?"

"I didn't say that."

"But you're hinting at it."

"No, I just think you still have feelings for him. That's okay I just don't want this relationship to be a lie. So I'm going to give you some space."

"You're breaking up with me because of some accusations."

"No, I don't like being second place. You need to find out what you want, Wilhelmina." She was speechless.

"Sorry." Was all he said as he headed out the door. She couldn't believe it, he ended it just like that. She wanted to cry but, she couldn't he was right. She would be lying to herself if she denied that she did have feelings for Daniel. But it would never work. It could never work. That was insane.


Meanwhile Daniel called Molly for a "talk" at his place. She knew what was coming as soon as she read his name on her caller- ID. She felt it for these past couple of months, Wilhelmina Slater had won again. He didn't give her specific reasons until she asked. That's the least he could do, she thought to herself.

"It's because of her isn't it?" She plastered on a fake smile.

He kept his head down as he spoke. "I can't explain it. It's complicated."

"No it's not. You clearly want to be with her, I don't know why since she has done nothing but made your life a living hell, but you rather be with her than me."

"Don't say it like that."

"Well how else am I supposed to say it Daniel! This whole time you've been with me, you're over here fantasizing about her! I lost Connor and now you too, what is it about her that makes all the men I care about go weak at the knees for her!"

"Molly, everything I felt for you was real."

She snorted.

"Honestly, I just… I want to try again. I feel that these kids came at this certain point in time for a reason. I already missed out once and I don't want to do it again."

Molly looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes; she got up and headed for the door.

"Yeah, at least one of us gets what they wanted. Goodbye Daniel." With that the door shut, and he leaned back against his couch passing a hand over his eyes sighing. It was now or never.


She knew it was a matter of time before he would be standing at her door. She didn't want to open that door, not because she was afraid of what might happen when she does but the fact that if it did it would complicate things and there would be no turning back She would have to face her past, something she didn't like to do. She was so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice her body move closer to the door, her hand now on the door knob she watched her hand turn it and her door opened. She looked up to face the figure that was behind it, she saw it in his eyes, the sincerity, trust, love and it scared her but she couldn't talk he stepped through invading her personal space never looking away. She finally found her voice. "We will regret this later."

With that her lips crashed against his in a feverish kiss, his hands traveled to her waist as her grabbed the back of his neck. They walked backwards to the bedroom, stopping only once at the wall in her hallway. He began to unbutton the oversized shirt she had on while his mouth descending down her jaw line to her neck. He stopped to take in the sight in front of him, she was standing breathing heavily in nothing but a bra and underwear she pushed him back into her bedroom and started to take off his shirt and unbuckle his belt again she captured his lips. Once the last article of clothing was removed she pulled him onto the bed with her. On top of her now he looked deep into her eyes, and saw something that he'd wanted to see for a long time. He saw her. The Wilhelmina that he meet 15 years ago, the one he fell in love with, the mother of his two beautiful kids. He reached for her hips and moved her underwear down her legs, leaned down and kissed her as he entered her. He felt her gasp against his lips and pull on his bottom lip. He began rocking slowly trying to keep a steady rhythm but he legs went higher up his back and as she moaned "harder" it was hard to do. The need for release quickly hit him and her to, he felt her nails in his back and her tighten around him she finally cried out his name as her peak hit, and he stroked one last time before stilling her and coming down from his own high. He buried his head in between her breasts as one of her hands was on his back and the other in his hair. They stayed that way for almost an eternity before he tried to speak. She cut him off.

"No, not today. We have all tomorrow to talk. Today," she flipped them over and kissed him, "we do this."


Ebony was in her room practicing a routine for the Winter Dance Preview, she chose "Halo" by Beyonce'. She heard a knock on the door and cut of the CD player. "Come in."

Rachel and James stood at the doorway and stepped inside.

"What is it?" Ebony asked as she reached for her water bottle on the night stand.

"We need to talk."

She sat down on the bed and looked up at them. Rachel looked nervously at her and darted her eyes at James.

"Tell her."

"Tell me what?"

"Well, sweetheart. I have some good news and bad news. The good news, I got a promotion."

"Oh Dad, that's great!" She jolted from the bed and wrapped her arms around him. "They bad news is we have to move to London." He felt her stiffen and remove her arms from him, she stepped back.

"What?" She whispered. "You can't take it."

"Look, I know it will be hard, but there is also the Royal Ballet School in London you can attend, which will be great for you."

"I don't want to leave. What about my friends? Nick? My parents?" She asked.

"We are your parents." Rachel said sternly. She was losing her daughter to people that didn't even want her. Hell yes, she was jealous.

"My real parents." She clarified. " My whole family is here, I cant just leave them."

"Well, you can come out here for the summer, or they can come to London to visit you."

"Why can't we just stay here! It's not fair."

"It's done. Start packing, we have to be there in two weeks." They turned their backs to leave and they heard her say,

"I'm not going."

She moved closer to them with her hand on her door. "I'm not fucking going." She let it go and watched as the door slammed in their faces. Rachel and James looked at each other and heard the door lock. Rachel pounded on the door.

"Open this door!"

"No!"

"Ebony Denise Prescott!"

"That's not my name! My last name is Slater! Just like my real mother!"

She stopped knocking upon hearing those words; she looked over at James and nodded her head. "Call her." He went into their room and pulled a notebook out of Ebony's bag there they found the number, he dialed.


"Shall we go for round three?" Daniel smirked as he turned his head towards her. She laughed and her pulled her arm towards him until she was straddling him, sitting up in his lap. He began to kiss her neck just as her phone rang. "Leave it." He murmured in between kisses.

"It could be important." She reached her hand out to the nightstand and answered without reading.

"Wilhelmina Slater." Daniel didn't stop he continued his ministrations and had to hold back a moan when Daniel kissed a sensitive spot on her neck.

"Hi, this is James Prescott. Ebony's dad." Wilhelmina froze, Daniel took notice and stopped and looked at her.

"What?" He mouthed. She put the phone on speaker.

"Yes, what can I do?"

"It's Ebony."

"What happened?" She looked to Daniel worry painted all over her face.

"Do you think you would be able to come down here? We need to talk, face to face."
