I was in such a hurry to post the last chapter that I didn't even get to thank you for your reviews and support. I love writing this story. Now that I'm on vacation I find myself with too much time in my hands, so here goes the next update.

Bay fell asleep in the limo on the way to the hotel and Ty gently nudged her awake when they arrived. They entered the hotel room and he guided her into the bedroom. Bay was walking like a zombie and hardly noticed Ty taking off her expensive jewels and unzipping her dress. He tried to get her to wear a t-shirt, but she was just too tired and he helped her into bed. She was instantly asleep.

Ty looked at his watch. It was past 1 AM. He took a beer from the mini-bar and sat by the window for half an hour. He looked at the Manhattan sky line and took a deep breath. He had made it through Bay's opening in one piece. At one stage when he went to fetch her the water he had broken out in cold sweat just by not being near her, but then Wilke's flirting with his wife had brought him back to earth.

He was still angry at Toby and his wasteful state when he showed up at the opening with those two harlots. He pondered if he should have told Bay what MB had been e-mailing him over the past 6 months together with the clippings from various gossip magazines that she would attach. At the time he had been happy that they were living in Germany and that Bay didn't have access to all the gossip about her brother being in and out of rehab, the trashed hotel rooms while on tour and the fights he loved picking with the paparazzi. He had been incredibly successful with his band "Dark Sauce", but had not been able to handle the baggage that came with being famous.

He yawned and ran his hand across his face. He finished his beer and went to join his wife in bed. He wrapped himself around her as usual and smiled at her gentle snoring that came with the pregnancy. Now that the opening was over he finally managed to have a proper nights' sleep.

Bay woke up at 10 the next day. After an urgently needed bathroom visit she went back into bed and snuggled with her husband. He opened his eyes sleepily and stroked her back.

"How are you feeling today babe?"

"I'm feeling great, I slept like a baby. I can't even remember getting into this bed. How about you?"

"I slept really well for once. I guess that now that we've got through that opening, I can relax a bit more."

"You did great Ty. I don't know what I would have done without you there."

He kissed her in response and placed his hands around her belly.

"I love you so much Bay"

"I love you too."

They felt three strong kicks coming from her belly and laughed. Bay winced.

"I think someone is jealous down there. I love you too my sweet babies."

Ty bent down to kiss her belly.

"Yes, so does your Dad."

Bay's stomach grumbled and Ty looked up.

"Jealous or hungry? What do you think? Is it time for room service?"

"Jealous and hungry. I want the whole deal. I'm starving."

Ty went to make the call and a short time later they settled in front of the TV to have their breakfast. Kathryn and Regina called to ask how she was doing and to congratulate her on her successful opening. Bay asked Kathryn about Toby, but Kathryn sounded vague and didn't want to talk about it. Michelle called next.

"Bay, how are you doing?"

"Great Michelle, how did it go?"

"How did it go? Bay, all of your paintings sold."

"What? You must be kidding me!"

"I'm not! I told you so! And you wouldn't believe who bought 5 of them."

"Who?"

"Brangelina!"

"Oh my God Michelle, were they there?"

"No, but they sent a representative. Their agent had been in touch with me ever since the catalogue went out, but I didn't want to make you even more nervous."

"Wow!"

"Yes Bay, that's the word. Now I only need you for two hours this evening and two hours tomorrow evening and then you can enjoy some peace and quiet back home."

Bay exchanged some more pleasantries and then hung-up. She looked for Ty, and heard him in the shower. She stormed into the bathroom.

"Ty, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie bought 5 of my pieces."

Ty looked at her incredulously from under the shower head.

"Wow!"

"Yes, that's exactly what I said. Everything sold, everything! Michelle only needs me for two more evenings and then we can go to KC."

"That's wonderful Bay. I'm speechless."

"No one wants to talk to me about Toby. I need to call Wilke."

Ty rolled his eyes.

"Bay, drop it, this is not the time for you to be worrying about Toby."

"Ty, I need to. He's my brother. I'll worry more if I don't know what's happening."

"Ok, ok. There's no need to get angry. Do you have Wilke's number?"

"No, but Daphne might."

"Well, give her a call then."

Bay picked up her iPhone and Facetimed Daphne. She picked up immediately.

"Bay, I am so proud of you, I can't believe the pieces I saw last night."

"Thanks Daphne, I am so relieved it was a success."

"How are you feeling today? How are the babies?"

"We're all fine. Listen, do you have Wilke's number?'

Daphne looked flustered for a second, then regained her composure.

"Wilke? Yes, I do, but he's staying at your hotel."

"He is?"

"Yes, his father owns it."

"Really? I had no idea."

"He's in room 323" Daphne said as an afterthought, then blushed furiously.

"Okayyyyy, is there something you want to tell me?"

Bay looked at the screen incredulously and saw Daphne turn around.

"Listen Bay, I got to go. I'll speak to you later, ok?" She disconnected the call.

Bay was still staring at the phone when Ty walked past her with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Bay, is everything all right? Did you get the number?"

"Ty, why would Daphne know which hotel room Wilke is staying in?"

"Uh oh, has someone been naughty?"

"She's with Emmett! Ty, this is not funny."

Ty kissed her nose.

"No, it's not, though I would much prefer her being with Wilke if you ask me. I can handle a bit of flirting better than an ex who's still carrying a torch for you after 8 years."

"Oh Ty, what's your problem?" Bay asked angrily.

"What's my problem? My problem is that I don't want Emmett to play "uncle" with our kids and that's exactly what's gonna happen if he stays with Daphne."

"So you're saying that it's fine for Daphne to cheat on him?"

"It's not like he hasn't done it before, is it?"

"Ty, that was years ago, we're past that now."

"Fine! I rather Daphne finds someone else so you don't have to see Emmett at all."

"Seriously Ty?" Bay said with a raised voice.

"Yes, seriously." Ty was getting angry as well.

"Great Ty, just great. Maybe you want me to jump off a tower and break my ankle again to prove that I love you and not Emmett?"

Ty winced at the memory.

"Bay…"

"No! Don't you dare "Bay" me! It's been 8 years Ty. For God's sake when will you get past Emmett?"

"When he gets past you. Which will be never!"

Bay turned her back on Ty and stormed into the bedroom slamming the door behind her.

Ty ran his hands across his face 'That went well' he thought.

Bay picked up the phone in the bedroom and dialed Wilke's room. It rang a couple of times, then she heard Wilke's sleepy voice on the other side.

"Wilke, it's Bay."

"Bay, jeeez, what time is it?"

"It's almost noon. Why are you still asleep?"

"Long night."

"Listen, I need to talk to you about Toby."

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Bay…"

"No, don't you stall now as well. I spoke to numerous people and no one wants to talk about Toby with me. Not even my husband."

"Ok, ok, can you give me half an hour to shower and dress and I'll come up?"

"Fine, half an hour."

"See you soon."

Bay sat on the bed and sulked. She was not going to go out of the room until Wilke arrived. Let Ty stew for a bit. How dare he bring up the whole Emmett business after all this time? How dare he not condone Daphne's cheating, if that was indeed what had happened? She was so angry.

There was a knock on the door half an hour later. Ty opened the door and saw Wilke standing outside. He shook his hand and beckoned him inside.

"Have a seat, I'll go and call Bay."

Wilke sat on the couch while Ty went to knock on the door to their bedroom.

"Bay, Wilke is here."

Bay opened the door and walked past her husband without even glancing at him. Ty sighted.

Wilke go up and observed the proceedings around him. He hugged Bay.

"Marital tiff?" he asked.

"Something like that." Bay answered curtly.

They sat down.

"So, tell me about Toby."

"Bay, I'm not sure how much I can tell you. We haven't hung out for the past six months. He used to stay here at the hotel whenever he was in New York. I was working here at the time and we used to go out together and hit the clubs."

"How did he get like this?"

"I don't know. He tours a lot and I guess he can't handle the success. He started hanging out with the wrong crowd. It started with gambling, then alcohol, now drugs."

"Drugs?" Bay was horrified.

"Yes, snorting cocaine here and there. He was in rehab once for three months. He got out about a month ago, but it doesn't seem to have worked."

"Did you speak to him last night?"

"Yes, very briefly since he had one drink too many."

"Ty says my parents want to put him back in rehab."

"That wouldn't be a bad thing. If he could stay close to home and stop touring for a while it would help. Maybe being an uncle will clear his head a bit."

"What can I do to help?"

"I don't know Bay. He doesn't handle criticism very well. Maybe if you don't judge him it'll go better."

"I'll try. It just makes me so sad."

Wilke moved closer to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"I know Bay, me too."

"Are you living here in New York now?"

"No, I'm just came for your opening. I've been managing one of my father's hotels out in California."

"I can't believe your dad owns this place."

"Yes, it's quite amazing. And he has one more in Texas and the one I'm managing in Los Angeles."

"Thank you for coming Wilke."

"Sure thing babe, I wouldn't have missed your opening for the world. I even bought one of your paintings for the hotel. We will hang it outside this suite and we'll rename it Bay K. Mendosa suite. So everyone will now know that the now famous Bay K. Mendosa stayed here before she had her first showing."

"Oh Wilke, that is so sweet."

"I wish I could afford one for myself, but your agent drives a hard bargain."

"I'll paint one for you soon and it'll be a present."

"That would make my day!"

Ty had been observing them quietly from across the room where he had been pretending to read the paper. He liked Wilke. He obviously came from money, but he didn't have any airs about him and he was being a good friend to Bay. Ty didn't know about the drugs, just one more thing to add to Toby's destructive lifestyle. He hoped that he would get his act together.

"Wilke, are you married?" Bay asked.

"Me! No way Jose! The world is full of beautiful women to explore, why would I want to chain myself up?"

"Oh Wilke!"

"Maybe one day I'll find someone who will steal my heart."

"Wilke…did anything happen with you and Daphne last night?"

Wilke looked at Bay surprised and had the grace to look a bit embarrassed. He kissed her cheek and stood up.

"Bay, what happens in Manhattan stays in Manhattan. I don't kiss and tell. I gotta go now. Hope to see you before you go back."

He went over to Ty to shake his hand.

"Hope she won't give you a hard time for long, man. I remember she has quite a temper!"

Ty shook his hand and rolled his eyes.

"Nice to meet you Wilke, see you soon."

Ty walked Wilke to the door and when he got back he found Bay looking at the wall with tears streaming down her face. He sat down next to her and carefully put his arm around her shoulders. She leaned against him.

"Drugs Ty, drugs and gambling. How could this have happened?"

"I don't know sweetheart. I hope that he'll be able to pull himself together."

"I'm still kind of angry at you."

"Kind of angry? Well, I guess that's better than angry. I'm not going to apologize Bay, not this time. I want Emmett to go where the sun don't shine!"

"Well, I'm not going to apologize either."

"Ok! Let's be unapologetic together then."

Bay managed a small smile.

"Ty, do you think something happened between Wilke and Daphne?"

"I don't know but yes would be my guess. After all he admitted to kissing and not telling."

"God Ty, how awful."

"Yes, well, what Emmett doesn't know won't hurt him."

"I guess. I need to speak to her."

"Bay, she's an adult, if she wants to talk about it fine, if not let it be."

"Yes, I guess you're right."

"Are you ready for some lunch?"

"Yes, I'm starving."

Did you like the little marital argument? Nothing like bringing a little Bemmett into the picture to shake things up a bit. Things were too smooth until now. Did you like the chapter? Not long until the babies are here. I've had a few remarks about Toby and the way the story was written, but I always thought he had a bit of a dark side ever since that poker incident in series 1. What about Daphne and Wilke? Did they or did they not? Please send me your reviews, I live for them and love to read every single one.
