Well, here we are:) New chapter awaits for you :)

Thank you for all of your support

''Why?'' asked Kate looking up from her laptop

''How do you mean 'why'?'' Idina asked rolling her eyes ''He's my husband, I'd like you to meet him.''

''What if I don't have those wishes?'' asked Kate

''Caitlin, please'' said Idina then sat down on couch next to her ''I know you like Kristin better, but you are not a child anymore. You're grown up woman and this behavior doesn't suit you.''

''You're misreading me; I do not want to make you miserable nor do I wish to act as a spoiled child. I'm sorry if you see it that way, because I'm merly trying to stop you from making a mistake.''

''I've already made mistake- when I cheated on my husband.'' Idina huffed

''No, you made a mistake when you didn't leave him.'' Kate said simply

''When will you realize that not everything goes as planned?'' yelled Idina ''When will you stop living in dreams?! Just because you wish for something to happen, doesn't mean you'll get it!''

''I think I have a right to say that I know what life is!'' Kate stood up angrily ''Unlike you, I understand that every act has consequences. Did you think about that when you moved to London and got pregnant? Did you? No! You were lucky mom was there to take me and raise me! Did you think how would it effect Kristin if you decided to be a coward after starting your affair?'' Kate yelled ''You know, one day you'll wake up and there'll be no one who'll care if you're happy. Truly happy.''

Kate slammed her laptop down and moved towards her front door

''If I don't believe in a better world'' said Kate ''What the hell should I believe in? I didn't say that things are easy, that making difference in your life as well in lives of others are easy. It takes courage and willingness to so, it takes everything you are. But if it didn't take everything you are, it wouldn't be worth the effort.'' she finished zipping her jacket

''I give up, if you want to settle for this kind of life, very well.'' said Kate ''I'll meet him, send me when and where. You have my number.'' with that she left her apartment

''I like Kate'' smiled Ann

''I like her too'' Kristin responded making them a coffee

''She's smart, funny, beautiful young woman'' commented Ann

''I know'' said Kristin ''She's also Idina's daughter.''

''Does she remind you of Idina?'' question Ann

''No.'' Kristin said thinking ''She reminds me of everything I'd like Idina to be. I know Idina has it, but unlike Kate, she does not play by instincts, she takes safe road and almost never takes chances.''

''Do you think you could love Kate?'' asked Ann

''I love her already'' Kristin smiled ''She's my best friend; she knows me as a palm of her hand, she supports me and takes care of me when I need her.''

''Well, could that ever be enough for you?''questioned Ann, but Kristin couldn't answer it

One week later, Kate was sitting in a restaurant waiting for Idina and Taye to arrive. It's been almost a month since Kristin and Idina came back from their trip and Kate couldn't see any improvement in their relationship. They had spoken only while working and if it was necessary- other than that, they completely avoided each other.

''Hey'' Idina greeted making Kate look up to the couple

''Good evening'' Kate smiled kissing Idina's cheek ''I'm Caitlin, pleased to meet you.''

''I'm happy to meet you too.'' Taye shook her hand

''So, what's going on?'' asked Idina

''Nothing much, busy planing few things.'' smiled Kate ''How's everything going on Broadway?''

''Fine, fine.'' Idina said ''Busy as hell, show is three times a week and it exhaust us all.''

''I believe it must be very tiring'' said Caitlin ''How about you?'' she questioned Taye

''Working on a project too'' he smiled ''It's fun, but it's in L.A. so I don't have much time to spend with Idina, which is terrible.'' he smiled looking at Idina

Thankfully bartender saved Kate from rolling her eyes and growling at the couple

''Miss Black'' he smiled ''I see you've brought friends.''

''I have Jack, I have'' Kate smiled broadly ''How are you?''

''Great ma'am'' he smiled ''What can I get you?''

''Well, I'll have special of the day'' she smiled ''As always, have Rob surprise me.''

''Very well ma'am'' he smiled ''For you?''

''I'll have Cod in Cider, please'' Idina said, Jack nodded

''And I'll be having Fillet of Aberdeen Angus'' Taye ordered, Jack nodded taking his menu as well

''Something to drink?'' he asked

Even though Kate though about whiskey, she knew better than that ''I'll have my usual red vine.''

''We'll have the same'' Idina smiled

''So, Caitlin, ''Taye started ''Idina tells me you already finished medical school.''

''Yes, I have.'' Caitlin said ''I'll get my medical licence when I finish internship.''

''Did you give any thoughts about where that will be?'' asked Taye ''New York, as well as L.A. have one of the best hospitals there are in USA.''

''Yes, I know, however I do not intend to stay in USA.'' said Caitlin ''I have few offers on the table, just not quite sure which I'll take. I really hadn't given it a thought yet.''

''Why wouldn't you stay here?'' asked Idina

''I am strongly opposed to your healthcare.'' said Kate simply ''I refuse to work in that environment.''

''You are truly European.'' smiled Taye

''I am truly human'' smiled Kate ''There are enough things that I'm against in Europe as well. But healthcare, fortunately for me, isn't one of them.''

The rest of the dinner went in similar fashion and when Idina excused herself, Taye said to Kate

''Caitlin, look'' said Taye ''I love Idina and I'd like you to know that. This is new for me, I hadn't known you existed, if I had- we'd get to know each other much sooner. I hope we can get along.''

''That has nothing to with me, really. It doesn't matter to me with who is Idina in a relationship, if she chose you, that is her decision. I can not change that.'' she paused ''Idina and I do not spend that much time together and I'm sure that when we get together for dinners or visits, we will be able to act civil towards each other.'' she finished with smile

''Well, I guess, that's all I can ask for at given moment.'' Taye smiled

Kate felt sorry for him, guilty for being cold as that knowing it wasn't really his fault.

''You should have seen her!'' Idina said looking at Jack who sat at kitchen table sipping his coffee

''Well, what did she do?'' asked Jack

''I'll tell you what she did'' angry Idina said ''She acted like she was on diplomacy dinner. I'm her mother, for god's sake, she treated me and Taye with same fake smiles and diplomacy answers as she would some president or prime minister of some never-ever land.''

''Hmmm...'' Jack hummed

''That's all you got to say?!''

''What exactly did you expect?'' asked Jack ''For her to call him daddy?''

''I expected human emotion.'' said Idina ''I expected my daughter, not a diplomat.''

''You knew she's not okay with you and Taye, you knew what she has done to get you and Kristin together.'' Jack said ''You couldn't possible expect her to be alright with all of it.''

''She tried to wreck my marriage.'' Idina said

''She wanted to see you happy.'' answered Jack ''But you want life you have now and you claim you are perfectly happy, so she is respecting that. But she doesn't need to be happy with that.''

''You still agree with her.'' accused Idina

''I'd still love to see you happy.'' said Jack ''Doesn't matter with who.''

''Hey you'' Kristin sat on top of Kate's lap

''Hi'' Kate smiled ''You're in the way of my documentary.''

''Poor baby'' mocked Kristin

''Why did I give you that bloody key?'' said Kate ''Now you can walk in here whenever you want.'' she smiled widely

''Well, damage is already done.'' Kristin laughed and then kissed Kate

After few moments Kate pulled back ''Where did that come from?''

''I'm lonely.'' shrugged Kristin ''I miss having someone by my side.''

''Oh, so you're horny.'' grinned Kate

''No!'' denied Kristin ''I mean yes, but that's not it.'' she paused ''I can go without sex, I just miss having someone there.''

''Well you have me'' said Kate ''I'm not enough anymore?''

''You are more than enough.'' smiled Kristin ''But, you know, when you have someone to get home to, it's different.''

''Would you want to have someone to get home to?'' asked Kate ''Would a best friend be enough to greet you?''

''Are you asking me to move in with you?'' asked Kristin

''Why not?'' asked Kate ''You can come here after this month. You wouldn't need to rent an apartment and we wouldn't be alone.''

''Shouldn't we be involved to move in?'' asked Kristin with her eyebrow lifted

''Oh c'mon, I'll even let you kiss me every once in a while'' winked Kate

''You can be such an ass.'' Kristin rolled her eyes

''It's the doctor thing'' Kate mentioned ''God complex and all.''

''What do you say?'' asked Kate

After a moment of silence Kristin said ''I think it would be great to come home to a best friend.''
