Hey all what did you think of that cliffhanger? *sings* CLIFF HANGER HANGING FROM A CLIFF...AND THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED CLIFFHANGER! *cough cough* That was my childhod. Now time for the Disclaimer. I am NOT Joss Weadon nor am I the owner of Disney (who ever sits on that throne and cackles thinking of despicable ways to ruin the poor feels of us Fangirls and Fanboys.) Now with that out of the way...who here has a idea where this is going? Please enjoy.

Kathleen's POV

I watched Thomas over the edge of my mug with a grin. He dashed out the door clearly late for work but he still said his good-byes. Rene gave me a smirk and I could clearly see where Thomas got most of his...well everything. They had the exact same smirk. Actually it was kind of creepy not in a weird way but to see that same smirk? Wow. They have very similar features narrow nose and high cheekbones. The same set jaw his jaw line is sharper though. They have the same pinched worry face and the way they hold their heads like royalty. I knew they couldn't be, but at the same time the way they carry themselves is amazing to watch. Next thing I know Amily is tapping my leg with her fairy wand and asking what I'm doing today.

Rene smiled at me, "I had better be heading off. Have a good day dear. I will see you soon." She said. I stood and felt slumpy and under dressed in front of this woman but she didn't seem to recognize or really have noticed. She hugged me and kissed my cheek fondly, "I hope to see you soon." She said as we walked to the door, we gave one final wave as she walked down the path before I closed the door. Amily jerked on my robe, "Momma. What we gonna do today?" I sighed having no idea. "Well momma has to plan someone's birthday party and then I also need to go pick up a few things for Ms. Pepper and drop them off. Oh and I need to check on the cake." I sighed, "Want to go to Nessa's house to play?" I asked knowing her answer and I was right. She danced and clapped her hands.

"Ok my silly fairy. Go get dressed and then we'll get going. How does that sound?" I said finishing my coffee. As I went to the sink Am asked, "Momma why are you hurting?" I spun around and dropped like a sack of potatoes to the floor. A intense burning pain jabbed through my chest. Spots danced before my eyes

Bits and pieces of my dreams flitted by and a new one came past. A boy with a flash of green and red eyes..something with red eyes. Frigid air. A snarl. Panic bubbled up through me. One word uttered in a destructive mantra. "Monnnnnsssttter. Monster. Monster." It was deep and painful like a knife every time it was uttered I could feel the pain as if it was my ow...

I shot up bolt upright.

Amily's POV

I watched mommy fall to the ground and ran up. Mommy was being silly again. But what if it was another of those dreams? I couldn't get Mister Man so I tapped her shoulder and moved back. Mommy sat up breathing hard. Like there was one of the boogie monsters under the bed and it scared her! "Mommy are you otay?" I asked.

Kathleen'sPOV

I looked over to my daughter. "Yes. Mommy's ok. Just...uhh...mommy fainted." Forcing a bright smile I stood up, Amily smiled up at me. "Ok mommy. Like in the pirate movie?" She asked. I laughed and scooped her up. "Yes...now let's get ready."

Later

After a long day out I picked Am up and we went home to find a white as a sheet Thomas in a chair with his head in his hands like he had a head ache or something. I went to go touch his shoulder and his head shot up glaring at me. I retracted my hand quickly, his glare made me step back a little. He stood, the chair scraping on the floor, he took a few steps toward me, "What. Are. You." He said in a low voice.

"What do you mean!?" I asked crossing my arms, "Thomas what in the hell has gotten into you!? I happen to be perfectly fine. Stressed? Oh heck yes.'' I found myself snapping at him. I never got like this.

"Tell me what you are!" He said again in a deceptively calm tone. I picked my bag up and turned on him, "I have just told you Thomas. I don't understand the question. I am nothing but confused and annoyed." I marched up the stairs incredibly ticked off at him. 'What's gotten into him?' I muttered to myself. "Kathleen wait let me explain myself!" He called up after me a little hint of desperation in his voice. I kept going ignoring him heading to my room closing my door behind me. Childish I know...but it just felt so good. I heard him rap his knuckles on my door. I yanked it open, "What." My voice was sharper.

Thomas's face slightly winced, "I...I apologize." It sounded forced to me but he continued, "I got some...odd news today and it's throwing me off." I crossed my arms.

"Fine. I accept." I said moving to close the door again when he spoke up. "I know this might be a little forward but.." He was interrupted by my phones loud blaring. I groaned and picked it up to nearly have my ears blown out by a loud voice.

"HEY..KATH? YOU UP FOR A LADIES NIGHT OUT?" I made out Pepper yelling, "TONY TURN IT DOWN!" The background music dropped and I felt the heat in my face from embarrassment. "Any way as I was saying. I need a night out so does Nat and we need to get Jane out from the books and into some social interaction. We'll even have Darcy tag along. We just all need out. Heck Maria can come too!" She said her voice sounding as stretched as mine. I thought it over, "Peps. You got a done deal. I'll get Haley to watch Am and then be over at say. Oh that one new steak place off of Brighton?"

Pepper sighed, "I can not describe how good that sounds. I'll let the others know." She said hanging up. I quickly dialed Haley the babysitter and arranged for her to be over in thirty. I rushed around getting ready, forgetting Thomas was still in my doorway. I jumped around the room pulling my shoes on when the doorbell rang and I raced down the stairs with only one shoe on. Which was incredibly difficult when it's five inch heels.

I explained everything she would need. I turned to Amily picking her up and kissing her cheeks, "Now be good for Miss Haley and mommy will be back soon." She nodded, "I loves you mommy." She said hugging me, "I bees good for you." She said patting my cheek. I set her down and paid the girl up front as a thanks for such short notice. One last kiss for my daughter and I left.
