Chapter 12

Zach and Kendall stayed at the Pine Valley Inn. It was possible that detective Hubbard would want to ask more questions. In any event, Kendall had nowhere else to be. Zach let her have the house after he moved out, he currently had his own room at the Inn. And whatever sins Kendall had committed, she didn't deserve to suffer through this alone.

Kendall: I think she blames me.

Zach: Who, Erica?

Kendall: Yeah, she thinks it's my fault Bianca's gone.

Zach: Well then, she's a fool.

Kendall: Is she? Was I wrong? Was I an enabler for Bianca's bad habits?

Zach: You tried to be there for her the best way you knew how. Maybe you made some mistakes, but at least you were there.

Kendall: Erica thinks Bianca killed herself and blames me. But you were there at the hospital, she wanted to be there for me and my baby. She wouldn't have just left us like that. Bianca was murdered, probably by JR. And when I can prove who it was, that person will pay.

Zach: Be careful who you say that to. The cops are all over the building. And you have to think of your health and the baby's.

Kendall: She should be here with us. But I like to think she's with Miranda again. If they're in heaven it's unlikely we'll ever see them again.

Zach: I don't know, God might be in a forgiving mood. We made some mistakes, but we could make it work.

Kendall: Really? You could stay married, knowing I'm pregnant with another man's child? Having Ryan come over, having to help raise this child? Forever? I know I'm not perfect, but I do love this baby. If you want to love me, you have to accept this child. Can you do that?
