"Hi Bethany? Bethany McGowan?" Brianna asked nervously into the phone as she held on tight to Roger's hand.

"This is she." a young voice confirmed curiously.

"Bethany, it's Brianna." she said as a tear fell down her face.

"Brianna? It can't be. My mom told me you died." Bethany said as Brianna started crying more.

"No sweetie, I didn't. I don't know why mom would tell you that. But I didn't die. I'm in New York City." she said trying to regain her composure.

"You have a baby, right?" Bethany asked as if she couldn't trust her own memories.

"Yeah, Hope Bethany Davis. She's almost 11 now." Brianna said smiling up at Roger.

"Bethany?" she asked smiling into the phone.

"Yeah, I named her after you. I'm getting married." she told her smiling.

"Who are you marrying?" she asked curiously.

"Do you remember my boyfriend Roger? Hope's dad?" she asked smiling at Roger again.

"Yeah." she told her walking around her room.

"Him. Mom broke us up when Hope was still baby and we just found each other 9 months ago." she said wiping her eyes.

"That's great Brie. I remember I used to like him. Are you OK?" Bethany asked sitting down in the chair becoming more comfortable in the conversation.

"Yeah sweetie, I'm OK. Listen Bethany, I heard what mom did to you. I'm really sorry." she told her trying not to cry again.

"It's OK. It's not your fault. It sounds like she did the same thing to you. But dad found me and took me to live with him." she told her smiling.

"How is dad?" Brianna asked squeezing Roger's hand.

"He's good. He's been trying to look for you. He misses you Brie." Bethany told her as Brianna started to cry again.

"He does?" she asked half smiling.

"Yeah he does. Do you wanna talk to him? He's down stairs." Bethany asked smiling.

"Yeah I do." Brianna said wiping her eyes as Roger caressed her cheek.

"Hang on." Bethany said putting the phone down.

"My dad wants to talk to me." Brianna told Roger as he played wih her hair.

"That's great Baby." he said kissing her head.

"Brianna?" a mans voice asked picking up the phone.

"Yeah dad, it's me." she told him smiling at him.

"How are you? Are you OK?" he asked sounding genuinely concerned.

"Yeah dad, I'm fine. I'm getting married and I have a daughter." she said crying again.

"I know, your sister told me. I miss you so much Brianna." he said as tears filled his eyes.

"I miss you too dad." she said as Roger took her in his arms.

"I'm sorry for leaving you all those years ago. Your mother didn't give me much of a choice." he said sitting back in his chair.

"A lot's happened over the years dad. Mom said you left us because you were cheating on her and didn't want to be with us anymore." she said looking down.

"Your mother was the one cheating, with a doctor at the hospital. She threw me out of the house because I told her I wouldn't stand for it anymore. I tried to see you girls. I really did, but she said if I ever tried to contact you, she would have me arrested and I didn't want to go to jail. I'm really sorry Brianna. The last thing I ever expected her to do was hurt you girls. The Maggie I know would never have done that. I don't know what got into her." he said running his fingers through his thinning hair.

"It's OK dad. It was a long time ago. I've learned to put it behind me." she said looking up at Roger.

"Where are you? I wanna see you." he said as Brianna leaned into Roger.

"I live in the East Village. Avenue C and 12th St." she told him smiling up at him.

"When are you getting married?" he asked smiling.

"In a few months. We really want you there dad." she said as Roger caressed her hair.

"Who are you marrying?" he asked curiously.

"My high school boyfriend Roger Davis. He lived down the block from the old house. He's Hope's father. It's a long story." she said looking at Roger again.

"I think I remember him. The young man with the guitar, right?" he asked as Brianna smiled.

"Yeah dad, that's him. We started dating sophomore year of high school and... well a lot happened, but we found each other again and things are going great." she as Roger kissed her head.

"Well we have plenty of time to catch up. Bethany and I will drive in and visit you this weekend. If that's OK." he suggested as Bethany smiled at her.

"We would really love that dad. I can't wait." she said with tears rolling down her face.

"I can't wait to meet my granddaughter." he said as Roger wiped her tears.

"Me neither dad. I'll talk to you soon." she said before they hung up the phone.

"Brie, are you OK?" he asked as she began to cry again.

"My mom drove him away too. She was cheating on him, not the other way around and she threatened him that if he ever tried to contact me or Bethany she would have him arrested." she said looking up at him.

"It's OK Baby. Let it out." he told her rocking her back and forth.

"He wants to be a family. For so long I had no one but Hope and now I have you back and my dad and Bethany." she said crying into his chest.

"I know Baby. I know." he said kissing her head.

"No Roger, you don't know. When you left and then my mom shipped me off to my aunts house, I had no strength to fight back. I kept going on for Hope, but my heart was broken when you broke up with me. I felt like I had nobody. I had nothing. And then we found each other again and I got Collins, Maureen, Joanne, Mark and Mimi and I felt like it wouldn't matter if I ever had any real family other than you and Hope. But talking to Bethany and my dad makes me see what I've been missing all these years. What Hope has been missing all these years. I mean, our daughter has an aunt and a grandfather." she said looking up at him.

"Yes she does Baby." he said leaning down to kiss her before kissing her again.
