Part 10

-------2 Days Later--------

Kendall awoke to the sound of her telephone ringing. Kendall turned to her right and saw Spike lying in his crib fast asleep. Spike had been up most of the night but had finally went down a few hours ago. Kendall rubbed her eyes and turned to her left and reached for the phone.

"Hello..." Kendall said groggily into the phone.

"Hi Kendall." Erica said into the phone. She could hear Kendall's tired voice. "Did Spike keep you up all night?"

"Yes...he did mother." Kendall said as she yawned and moved to sit up, so her back was against the headboard of her bed. Kendall leaned against the cold wood but held her blanket to her taking solace in the warmth it gave off.

"Oh." Erica said nodding. "I was just calling to see how you were. Are you okay, honey?"

"I'm fine mother." Kendall yawned once again. "I'm just tired." Kendall answered knowing full well that's not what her mother was talking about.

Kendall wondered when everyone would stop asking her if she was alright about Greenlee being back home to stay. It had been three days since Thanksgiving and Greenlee had told Jack that she was staying where she belonged...here, home with her family and Jack told Erica who told her. Kendall hadn't been thrilled about it but she would learn to deal with it just like she learned to deal with Greenlee not being there when she most needed her.

"If you want, I can come and watch Spike for the day so you can rest." Erica said into the phone. She knew very well Kendall didn't want her son out of her sight.

"That's alright mother, I'll be fine. Spike's still sleeping so until he needs me I'm going to go back to sleep." Kendall said and yawned again. "I'll call you later this afternoon mother." Kendall said and hung up the phone.

As soon as Kendall hung up the phone, she lied back down and fell asleep.


Greenlee looked through the papers she was being given and then back up at Livia, smiling. They were perfect and if this didn't show Kendall her real plans, what her real reason for being back was then nothing would. Greenlee realized she should probably find something smaller to give Kendall first but realized there was nothing she could really say to Kendall to make things better and she was now just trying to make things better with actions. She'd never be able to get the time that passed back but she might be able to help Kendall realize she had no reason to be afraid in the present and future.

"Thank you Livia." Maggie said as she stood up with Miranda sound asleep in her arms. Bianca was at work and Greenlee had needed someone to come with her to be a witness so she had come along and had taken Miranda with her since she had promised she wouldn't leave Miranda for the next 7 days.

"You're very welcome." Livia said as she smiled at the girls. "It's so good to see the both of you on this side of the pond."

Maggie and Greenlee laughed as they looked at Livia. "Its great to be home." Maggie said, her hand rubbing small circles on Miranda's back.

Greenlee smiled at the scene and hoped she'd be able to maybe have something of the same picture soon or some day in her future and perhaps maybe get the relationship she desperately wanted with Kendall off the ground and toward something they both could be proud of.

"It is good to be home." Greenlee agreed as she smiled and turned to Livia.

"Are you guys here for good or is this just a visit before you go back to Paris?" Livia asked.

Maggie looked at Greenlee and saw she wanted to answer second so she answered honestly. "Bianca and I are planning to go back to Paris but you never know..." Maggie said and looked down at Miranda when she heard the toddler start to whimper. Maggie bounced lightly trying to sooth the child back into blissful sleep.

"I'm staying." Greenlee said honestly as she looked at Livia. "I'm staying here...home where I belong." Greenlee admitted smiling.

Livia looked at the girls nodding. "That's good." She said to Greenlee. "I hope I'm not speaking out of turn but Kendall has been a wreck without you."

"She was a wreck before her too." Maggie said as started toward the door. "Come to think of it she was a wreck when she was with her too." Maggie said lightly as she laughed when Greenlee growled at her. "It was nice seeing you again Livia." Maggie said as she left the room.

"You too Maggie." Livia called out to Maggie before she looked back at Greenlee. "If there is anything else I can do for you Greenlee, don't hesitate to ask."

"I'll call if there is...I promise." Greenlee said and stepped around the chair she had been sitting in. "Have a nice day Livia." Greenlee said before leaving.

"Those four will make great parents." Livia said to herself as she sat down. "They already are."
