I don't own anything

Sam and Grace stood by the stove watching the seen unfold. Reese, Kay, and Simone had just entered, and while Kay took seat by the counter, Reese seemed to be sneaking glances at Jessica, and Simone just stood by the door gaze never leaving her Whitney's and Chad's clasped hands on the table.

Kay

(Looking annoyed at the scene)

Come on, people.

We either have another fistfight, or group hug, but someone got to make the first move.

Simone

(Lifting her head to look at her sister)

I'm sorry Whitney.

Whitney stands and opens her arms, just in time to catch Simone in a hug, as tears fall down her face. Chad moves to the side unsure of how to proceed.

Simone

(Turns to Chad)

I'm sorry Chad.

Chad

(Smiling)

You didn't do anything wrong.

Simone

(Gives a weal smile)

Besides hurting Whitney, I spent last night saying so pretty unlady like things about you and you parentage.

Chad

Well, I made some mistakes too, so let's call it even.

(Giving her a wink)

Kay

AH………….

(Rolling her eyes)

Let's get out the camera.

Sam and Grace sent a scolding look at their oldest daughter, but Kay is unfazed, and continues.

Kay

If they are no more Oprah reunions, can we eat now?

John and Ethan laugh and are receipts of a scolding glance from Sam and Grace.

Grace

(Looking stern)

Don't encourage her you two.

Now, eat up Sam and I are going

To pick up Charity soon.

Upon hear his girlfriend's name Miguel picked up his pace to enter the Kitchen through the living room.

Miguel

When is she being released?

All eyes fall upon the newest addition to breakfast. Kay barley looked up to see him, no longer interested in drinking in the site of her former crush. Reese loved the distraction from trying to look at Jessica without her father and brothers catching him, not quite sure how they would handle him breaking up with one sister yesterday and go after another today, but sure that it would painful.

 Simone was just glad she didn't have to keep up her happy front of support for her sister and former love. John watched the reaction of his sister Katie, never really having been of a fan of Miguel he was glad that she didn't pay him much attention, it was better for her is she was serious about moving on. Ethan continued to read the paper, not strong enough to look and Miguel and not be reminded of the Lopez-Fitzgerald that he loved and was betrayed by. Jessica was the only that seemed happy to see Miguel without an ulterior motive.

Sam

(Smiling at Miguel)

Dr. Russell, says we can get her at 10:00

The Russell girls tense up at the mention of their mother, while Chad starts to look uncomfortable. Grace was about to lighten the situation when the phone rang, Ethan was the closet so he picked, and laughed at the sour expression on his sister's face as they rush to get the phone.

Ethan

(Grinning ear to ear)

Bennet Residence.

(Listening to talker)

Yeah, my I ask who's calling.

(Grin widens as he turns to Kay)

Katie, it's for you, a Mike.

Eyes turn to see How Reese is taking the identity of the caller, and are relieved to see a smile play on Durkees face. All expected Miguel that looks angered at the idea of another guy calling Kay while her boyfriend is there. Sam and Grace exchange looks and turn to look at Kay who is grabbing the phone from her goofy older bother, and turns away from the group staring at her intently.

Kay

Hello

(Giggles)

No, you're not interrupting.

Yeah, I still want to see that.

Whitney, Chad, Reese, and Jessica are the only ones in the kitchen not trying to listen to the conversation. They began talking about the new books that are coming out trying to draw other people into the conversation, but the rest of the group is still trying to eavesdrop on the conversation. Sam makes a move to stand closer to his oldest daughter not even to deny his interest.

Kay

(Still listening)

Yeah, how about 7, I'll meet you there.

Sam

(Tapping his daughter on the should)

No, he's picking you.

(Off her look)

I'm not kidding.

Miguel smiles at the thought of Chief Bennet demanding to meet this guy. Knowing that one look and send the jerk packing. This leaves Kay free to return to Reese. Kay

Mike, you'll have to pick me up here.

(Laughs)

No, that was my brother Ethan; it's my father that wants to meet you

(Glancing around at the avid listeners)

, But I'm sure everyone will be here when you show up.

(Blushes)

Yeah, I see you then

Bye.

Hanging up the phone she turns to face her family and friends. Ethan isn't the first fire of questions, but is the loudest.

Ethan

Who's Mike?

(Yelling)

Kay

A guy I meet yesterday.

Miguel

Isn't it a little soon to be dating?

(Trying but failing to hide his anger)

Kay

(Glaring at her former friend)

The only person that can be disapproving is Reese?

(Turning toward her ex)

Are you okay with this Reese?

Eyes once again to Reese Durkee.

Reese

(Smiles)

As long as you're happy.

Kay rushes over to hug Reese and leans in to his ear.

Kay

(Whispering)

I'll be happy when you ask out Jessica.

Reese

(Pulling back and blushing)

We'll see.

Sam and Grace smile happy that they remained friends, but Ethan big a brother doesn't seem impressed. He moves closer to the newly estranged couple and looks at his sister.

Ethan

A guy you met.

(Raising an eyebrow)

Know anything else about him?

Kay

Yes, but I am not telling you.

(Off his look)

Calm down John boy meet him, and approved.

(Turns to John)

Didn't you?

Ethan

(Looking at John)

So, John he passes the big brother test?

John

(Smiling)

Being new at this, I'll just say that I didn't want to kill him.

I'll leave you and Sam to grill him, and join in when it's my turn to hit him.

Kay

Can we stop this torture?

Chad stands up and motions toward the door.

Chad

I hate to stop your torture of Kay

(Off her look)

Hey you were going to spray me with shaving cream.

(Looking at both Russell sisters)

But I think I should take Whitney and Simone home.

Sam

Maybe Ethan or I should go with you.

(Ethan nod his agreement)

Chad

That's okay, guys thanks.

I can handle it.

Whitney and Simone get up and walk out the door, and Chad follows, they say their goodbyes and head toward the Russell house. Ethan excuses himself saying that he should check on his mother, while Jessica and Reese decide to study together at the library. John retreats to his room read for his classes. Grace and Sam get ready to leave for hospital and invite Kay and Miguel to come along. Miguel happily accepts, but Kay decides to stay and get the house ready for Charity's return.

Crane Mansion

Ivy sits in her wheelchair looking out at the view. She hears footsteps and turn to see her visitor.

Ivy

Tell me David, how is your plan to divide the Bennetts coming?

David

Ivy, it's not working.

(Off her look)

I say, I'm her husband and nothing happens, you force me to lye to my son

Nothing happens, you throw yourself at him nothing happens.

They're in love and have a family; none of your evil schemes will work to keep them apart.

Ivy

Don't play with me David I will expose you.

(Glaring at him)

So, I suggest you spend more time doing what I pay you to do, and less time whining.

(Smiling)

Don't worry; you'll be getting an assistant soon.

David

Who else have you blackmailed into your service?

Ivy

Dr. Eve Russell

(Smile growing)

Ethan

What about Dr. Russell mother?

David and Ivy turn to find Ethan standing in the doorway a curious expression on his face.
