"So I heard you know the Chapman family." Carol one of the nurses asked Zandra the next day she worked. Zandra just rolled her eyes. She knew she was the topic of choice that day and the rumors were flying around faster than teen gossip. There was one rumor that she was one of Dog's long lost kids. She heard that she was the reason Duane Lee and his wife got a divorce the year before and Zac was actually her and Duane Lee's kid. She thought that one was outrageous considering she would have had to be fourteen when she had Zac and Duane Lee would have been twenty seven. There was one even floating around that Zac was her and Leland's kid. The rumor went that when Leland was in the drug scene he had gotten involved with Zandra. She had lied about her age and whoops here comes baby. But the most out outrageous rumor was that she was Lyssa's secret lover. Zandra was actually quite entertained by the rumors and couldn't help but call Lyssa on her breack to tell her what was going on.

"Aloha sista." Lyssa said answering her phone.

"You with the others?" Zandra asked and she heard Lyssa put her on speaker.

"Leland and DL are here. What's going on." Lyssa asked.

"I have to tell you the outrageous rumors going around this place." Zandra said with a laugh. "I swear I feel like I'm back in high school."

"We are listening Zay Bay." Leland said and Zandra rolled her eyes. For some reason Zay Bay had become her official nickname from him.

"Well according to wing one I'm one of Dogs long lost daughters. To wing two I'm Duane Lee's long lost sex toy. I'm the reason Duane Lee got a divorce because his ex found out that when I was fourteen we had a kid. Who happens to be Zac."

"I would have been twenty seven!" Duane Lee demanded. "Do people really think I'm like that?"

"I think most of the girls down on that wing think your younger than you really are." Zandra replied. "Down on my wing people are saying that when I was fourteen I lied to Leland about my age and ended up having a kid with him, also Zac. He tract us down and it took almost six years to convince me to move to Hawaii with him."

"Bad Zandra tricking me like that." Leland teased.

"The only reason they made me out to be the bad guy is because they are all girls around my age and for some off reason think your a greek god or something." Zandra said with a smile. "There is also another one on my floor that I'm Justins wife to be? I have no clue how the hell that would have come up. Since I've only heard about him and never me him. But the best one, you ready for this? I'm Lyssa's dirty little secret."

"Damn how did they find out?" Lyssa asked with a laugh. One of the nurses walked in and Zandra cleared her throat.

"Hey I'll call you guys later. Sadly my break is over." Zandra said and all three of them replied in some way calling her lover. Zandra laughed and hung up her phone. She turned to the nurse about ready to make a rude coment about what she heard when she noticed the nurse was crying.

"Hey is every thing ok?" Zandra asked causing the nurse to look up at her. She almost jumped as if not realizing there was some one in the room. Zandra could see the fresh black eye on the girls face. "Oh honey who did that to you?"

The nurse seemed surprised by Zandra kindness. For the first time she felt comforted. She felt like she could talk to this woman.

"My boyfriend." the girl replied. Zandra shook her head sadly when she heard the answer.

"Whats your name?" Zandra asked in a calming voice.

"Jesse. Jesse Kali." the nurse replied.

"Well Jesse Kali I'm Zandra Porter." Zandra said holding her hand out to Jesse. She shook it and smiled up at Zandra. "Now that we know each other we need to talk about what your going to do about this boyfriend of yours."

Jesse looked down at her hands. "I want to leave but I have no where to go."

Zandra nodded. "Well I have a couch, that is very comfy its like sleeping on air. I do have four boys living there as well but they are very sweet. Annoying at times but sweet."

"You would do that for some one you dont even know?" Jesse asked in awe. Zandra smiled sweetly.

She wrote her number on a piece of paper and handed it to Jesse.

"When you get off work I want you to call me." Zandra said. Jesse nodded a friend would really help her now.

Zandra was sitting at the Beth's desk at the Da Kine bonds office when her phone went off. Every one looked up at her in surprise. Usually the only ones that called her where them or the boys and every one in a while Cecily or Bonnie Jo. And they were all in the office or at Zandra's house.

"Aloha Jesse are you off work?" Zandra asked and the camera crew closed in on her. They seemed keen on trying to get drama started between Zandra, Duane Lee and Leland. Zandra smiled and looked at the camera.

"Jesse is a girl." Zandra said and the camera crew backed away.

"Um yeah I am." Jesse replied quietly.

"I'm on my way." Zandra said looking up at every one in the room. "I'll be back."

Zandra started to leave when she noticed a camera man following her. "Uh no. Sorry no cameras allowed on this adventure."

Zandra got into her car and drove to the hospital and saw Jesse waiting on her. The girl climbed into the car and smiled.

"I feel almost free or something like that." Jesse said and Zandra smiled.

"Well get ready for queues. Because that's what my place is." Zandra said with a smile. "I have four nephews living with me. Adam is sixteen, Jonas is fifteen, Matty is twelve and Zac is nine. Adam is good but very mischievous. Jonas is... Well the troublemaker. Matty doesn't talk much. Dramatic experience. Zac has a little bit of a mental disability that regrettably will not allow his brain to develop as quickly as his body grows. So now you'll under stand before you get there and the boys don't freak you out."

"Um thank you." Jesse said a little confused. When the girls walked around Jonas threw a ball at Zandra she caught it and tossed it back at him.

"No throwing things in the house." Zandra said giving him a stern look. "Are the others here?"

Zandra looked around for her other nephews and the youngest three Chapman kids. Jonas nodded. "They're all hanging out around the pool. Who's she?"

"Follow us to the back and you'll find out." Zandra said leading the way to the back. She found Adam and Cecily sitting on one of the beach chairs together while the others were all in the pool. She would usually yell at them for being around the pool when she wasn't around but she knew Cecily was a very good swimmer and trusted her not to sneak off with Adam when the kids were still out there.

"Guys this is Jesse Kali. She will be staying with us for a while." Zandra said with a smile. "So that means you need to behave... More at least. And no pranking."
