Hi everyone!
I'm very thankful for all your reviews and PM's, you're support is, as always, much appriciated.
Also, I'd like to make it clear- this is Idina/Kristin story and I had no attention to pair up Kate/Kristin for good. I just asked how you'd feel about short fling and I got my answer.
Happy holidays everyone, have a great time :D
Please enjoy in new chapter
Idina was walking home after she's spent six hours with her daughter, it's been stresfull day for her- from Taye storming out, finding Elizabeth is dead along with her husband, her daughter's presence in New York to constant presence of Kristin in her head. Emotional rollercoster left her exhausted and it showed in a way she sighed walking into apartment throwing her keys onto table.
''Where have you been?'' came voice from living room
''Judging by the way I feel, I'd say in hell.'' answer Idina dryly
''We need to talk.'' said Taye seriously
''This day will never end.'' sighed Idina sitting on couch and looking at Taye she said ''Talk.''
''Why are you acting like this?'' asked Taye ''It's been hell of a day for me, you know! I've been walking around thinking about how my wife has a daughter, while she's been avoiding having kids with me!''
''Well, if you want to talk about the day!'' Idina lost it ''I've found out my daughter has been in New York for 2 months and she hadn't told me! I spoke with her every week, sometimes few times a week and not once had she mentioned how she's few blocks away! Why you ask?! Her parents, adoptive parents got killed 5 months ago and she's been roaming the world since then. She's been having worst period of her life and I, as her mother, hadn't noticed. All of sings were there, if I hadn't been so damn busy with my life I'd noticed crack in her voice, hurt and sorrow in her eyes, but I haven't. So don't tell me about how ruff your day was!'' tears were running down Idina's cheeks
After she had cried, told her grandma everything that had happened, Kristin wanted nothing more than go to bed. On her way to the bedroom, Kristin heard silent knocking on her front door. She moved slowly towards the peephole and looking though it she found Kate on other side.
''I'm not ready to talk yet.'' she said ''Go home.''
''I'm not going home, Kristin.'' came husky, tired voice ''Please talk to me, tell me something, anything.''
''Go home.'' repeated Kristin
''That's not happening.'' Kate responded
Kristin watched as Kate slid down the wall opposite to her apartment.
''I'm too tired for this, just go home.'' said Kristin, but Kate hadn't moved an inch, her head just quailed a bit. Kristin, now already worried, opened the door in rush and moved to Kate.
''Kate!'' she said as she knelt down ''Are you okay?'' she forced Kate's head up
''I'm fine'' answered Kate ''I just had too much to drink. That's all.''
''You don't look fine'' Kristin commented ''C'mon, let's go.'' she helped Kate up
''I'm sorry'' Kate said as she leaned on the wall ''I wanted you to be happy, both of you, believe me.''
''I know.'' Kristin said pulling Kate inside apartment. She lead Kate to her couch and sat next to her
''Kristin'' said Kate as she looked at her ''You are wonderful, smart, talented and extremely beautiful person. You deserve the best in this world, I want you to know that and that I'll stand next to you for as long as you want me there.''
''I know.'' said Kristin ''I know.'' she sighed and smiled ''Let's go, there is bed with our name on it. You need some sleep, after all that that whiskey I can smell on your breath.''
Morning came too quick for Idina, night sleep hadn't done anything for her, still feeling exhausted she made her way to the kitchen where Taye already sat at kitchen table.
''Morning'' he greeted
''Morning''she said filling her cup with coffee
''I want to meet her.'' said Taye
''I know.'' said Idina ''You will, I just need some more time with her, to help if I can. But you will meet her.'' assured Idina
''Alright.'' Taye said quietly
''I am sorry for not telling you earlier...''
''I know.'' Taye cut her off ''I know. But we're here, you're forgiven and we're going forward with this.'' he said kissing her forhead
''We are.'' smiled Idina with her fake smile, torn apart by the loyalty and love
''Honey'' called Ann opening door
Kristin awoke at her grandmother's voice and found older lady standing in her bedroom's doorway.
''Yeah?'' Kristin croaked
''I'm sorry, I haven't realized you had company'' Ann apologized
''I don't, I mean...''muttered Kristin ''Grandma, did you need anything?''
''Only wanted to ask if you want some breakfast'' smiled older lady
''I'd love to, she'll have some too, even though I think we'll meet strong resistance there.''
''Alcohol?''
''Oh yeah.'' said Kristin ''I'll show her in the shower before'' she gently smiled.
''Hi Jack'' said Idina opening the door
''Can we talk?'' he asked ''I know you're pissed off...''
''It's okay.'' Idina interrupted him ''Caitlin can be handful'' she smiled slightly ''You respected her wishes and because of the complicated situation she's in, I won't hold it against you. You have always been there for me and I know you did what you thought was the right thing.'' she hugged him
''Well, this was so much easier than I anticipated.'' Jack smiled hugging Idina tightly
''No'' Kate growled feeling gently nudge
''C'mon, we need to get you up and showered. And you must eat something.'' Kristin tried to pull her out of bed
''Really?'' asked Kate opening one eyes ''In all fairness, you have no chance of getting me out of bed. You're too small.''
''I believe in miracles, besides poison is kept in small packages!'' Kristin huffed trying harder, but Kate just pulled her and Kristin ended up on Kate
''See?'' Kate mused with smile ''I've been very physically active whole my life; since I was 4-when I started ballet.''
''Ballet?'' laughed Kristin
''Yep, good for muscle tone.''
''Well, you need to shower and eat something.'' Kristin said
''You gonna help me?'' grinned Kate
''I thought you don't want us to get involved.'' Kristin said with her eyebrow raised
''I said that I don't want us involved if you don't know the whole truth.'' said Kate ''Besides, it doesn't mean I can't flirt with you. That'd make things boring.''
''The shower!'' Kristin rolled her eyes and got up
''You love me!'' Kate called after her
''Unfortunately!'' yelled Kristin from hallway
After 15 minutes Kate strolled into kitchen in Kristin's old shirt and sweatpants. Ann and Kristin laughed out loud
''I see nothing funny'' commented Kate looking at shirt that didn't covered her flat stomach and sweatpants who were way too short on her. She was thankfull that Kristin had full breasts like her and shirt, at least, fitted in that way.
''Well, we do'' laughed Kristin
Kate rolled her eyes and then went to Ann, smiled and introduced herself ''Hello, I'm Caitlin. But everyone calls me Kate''
Ann shook hands with Kate ''I'm Ann, Kristin's grandmother. I'm very glad to meet you.''
''Now, that pleasantries are over, can we eat, I'm starving!'' Kristin whined
Kristin walked into dress room finding Idina already sitting there.
'Morning.' she greeted
''Morning'' Idina replied coldly
''You're not going to even look at me?'' asked Kristina already feeling pissed off
''Sure, I'll look at you.'' Idina turned around with harsh look ''So, how long do you know my daughter?''
''I hadn't known she was your daughter until day before yesterday.'' said Kristin
''Of course'' said Idina not believing her ''You know, here I was, thinking how am I going to tell my husband that I cheated on him and that I was in love with someone else; but it turned out it was all a lie from the beginning.''
''It was not a lie!'' yelled Kristin ''You can say all you want, but bottom line is I never deceived you!'' she moved to Idina ''But you deceived me from the start, you wanted cheap affair, a thrill on the side, nothing more! You know what? Go and run to your husband, be a good little wife who settled for less than she could had, see if I care.'' with that she turned around and left
Well, that's about it, yes they are on rocky ground. Please tell me what you think and review the chapter
