Song: Home by Michael Buble
Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
"I miss you!" Kitty said over the phone, she lay on a hotel bed in Paris. She should be enjoying herself, she was on location, in one of the most amazing cities in the entire world.
"Kitty," Julian said, "I left yesterday, you can't miss me already."
"I do," she said, "I miss you, and New York, and the dogs, and Lexi," She sighed, "And Danny."
"Danny will be happy to know he's an afterthought," Julian nodded. "He moved his stuff in today, by the way."
"Oh good," she smiled, "I'm glad they're happy."
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
"Scripts coming in like whoa," Julian said, looking over at the growing pile on her desk in the bedroom "Ever since the nominations. You're going to get to do any movie you want."
"I don't think I want to do another one after this," Kitty said, "I think I want to take time off."
"Time off?" Julian laughed, "What's that?"
"Shut up," She said, "I'm serious, we haven't had any real time together since our honeymoon, doesn't that bother you?"
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
It bothered him more than he would ever let on. Of course he had hung up saying that he understood, she needed to do what she needed to do, as did he, but there was a nagging in the back of his mind. Adam and Julie, Adam and Julie, were they doing to each other what their parents had done? She had shot two movies back to back since they got married, he had played a season, and they barely saw each other. He had managed to get out to Paris where she was now for a week, and had just gotten back to their apartment in New York. He laughed as their golden retriever puppy came up and nuzzled his leg. This one was fairly new, they had a King Charles spaniel, from before they got back together, but Julian insisted that they get another, far less girly dog. He scooped him up.
"Hey there," he said, rubbing his ears. "You miss her too don't ya?"
"Yo," he laughed as he heard his brother in law's voice echo through the hallway, Danny popped his head in, "I have keys?"
"Hey man," Julian said, "Come on in."
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
"Ah, how's this little guy," Danny leaned down and scratched his ears, "Basher around?"
"Somewhere," Julian shrugged, "I haven't seen her. How were they?"
"I think they missed you," Danny said, "Because they seemed really calm. It freaked Lex out."
"How are you two doing?" Julian asked.
"Good," He nodded, "How was Paris?"
"Not long enough," He shook his head. "I fear I will turn into Adam if I don't watch myself."
"Never," Danny said, "Besides, Kitty would kill you, if you're Adam that makes her Julie, you know she can't stand that."
Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
"Miss Portman?" One of the PAs knocked on Kitty's trailer door, and opened it "I'm sorry, Mrs. Banks."
"Just Kitty," she said, she shied away from Mrs. Banks, she didn't mind changing her SAG card to Kitty Portman-Banks, but Mrs. Banks always made her think of her mother and the bad time. She had always called Heather, well, Heather for that reason. She sighed, she wanted to take time off, be in New York with her husband, and her friends. She was tired and scared, the fact that she and Julian spent so little time together, it was way too Adam and Julie for her. "What is it?" She turned to the still stunned PA in front of her.
"OH, just that they got backed up," he said, "You have another half hour."
"Thanks," she nodded, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed.
"Stop calling here," Julian laughed picking up the phone. "You woke Basher up."
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
"I'm taking a year off," Kitty said. "After we wrap."
"You know you can't do that," Julian sighed.
"I can and I will," she said, "I'm doing this right, I'm proving my father wrong."
"Kitty," he said quietly, "do we share a brain?"
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
"Why?" She asked confused.
"Because I've been sitting here, holding Cake," he smirked, they had named the new dog Cake Eater, because the old one was named Basher. "Thinking, Oh God! We're Julie and Adam, we're pushing each other away." Kitty laughed.
"I won't let them call me Mrs. Banks," Kitty said quietly, "Because, well, Julie always looked at that name so negatively."
"You're not Mrs. Banks," he laughed, "I appreciate that you added the hyphen, it's a risky move."
"No but I am Mrs. Banks," she said, "I shouldn't be afraid of it. Look, I just want to be home for a while."
"I want you home," he nodded, "And so does Basher, because she won't shut up!" He shouted at the little dog at the foot of his bed.
"Oh, put my precious baby on the phone!" Kitty said, Julian sighed heavily and put the phone up to the dog's ear. "Mommy misses you!" She squealed in baby talk.
"You are far too attached to this dog," Julian shook his head, taking the phone again.
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me
"Maybe you could move out here?" Kitty tried, "Just for the six months."
"And burden Lexi and Danny with those two?" Julian joked trying to mask his indecision.
"This is serious Julian," she sighed. "And you would bring Basher and Cake."
"I know, I'm sorry," He said, "You know I can't, I have to train, my team in New Jersey, it's bad enough I betrayed them by moving to the city."
"So six more months huh?" She sighed.
"I'm coming for another visit in two," he said quietly, "Kitty this sucks."
"Hence the year off," she said, "Maybe I could have a baby? Then I couldn't work."
"Do you want to have a baby?" Julian said, he knew he wasn't ready to be a father, he could barely handle it when Cake Eater pooped on the carpet.
"Not yet," she sighed, "But I'm still taking the time."
Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
"Any inkling on a new project?" the reporter that was interviewing Kitty about the movie asked.
"Oh no," Kitty shook her head, "After this I'm taking some time off, I mean, I've been busy, I want to spend some time with my husband."
"Will we be hearing the pitter patter of little feet?" The woman raised her eyebrows. Kitty sighed, she knew that she was going to be asked this question a million times. Her publicist had prepared her an answer.
"Not yet," she smiled, "Maybe someday. We're both way too busy for it right now. Plus we just got a new dog," she laughed lightening the subject. "Julian can barely handle it when Cake Eater has accidents; he's definitely not ready for diapers."
"Cake Eater?" She asked, "Care to explain the name?"
"Oh, he's named after Julian's father," Kitty explained laughing. "Just like my dog is named after mine."
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
"No no," Julian laughed, to a reporter who asked if his marriage was causing any problems for his playing, "She's great, really supportive. I mean, she grew up around the game. She used to play, she was better than I was, probably still is."
"What about kids?" The reporter said.
"Not yet," he said, "Someday though, maybe. It's just not on the radar right now, we're busy enough."
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
Julian sat in anticipation at JFK airport. Finally, she was coming home. He had come around to the year off idea; she would still do promotion for the three movies that were circulating, so it wasn't as though it was really bad for her career that she not shoot anything, not to mention he missed her. He missed her more than anything in the world.
"Julian," she ran and threw her arms around him and kissed him, a few photographers who had followed her snapped a shot.
"Kitty," he mumbled, "the stalkerazzi!"
"What are they going to do with pictures of us being in love and kissing?" She laughed, "So, has Cake learned to hold it yet?"
"He has," Julian nodded, "Thanks to Lexi. Without her, he'd probably be dead by now." Kitty laughed. He drove back with her in the passenger seat. As they walked in the door, the dogs scurried up and smelled her, barking excitedly.
"Hi babies," she said petting them. "Oh it's so good to be home!" Reviews please!
It will all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
