Thank you to everyone who read or reviewed the last chapter.

Finally, they gave us lots of Betty/Daniel goodness in the last episode. So much that I'm going to leave Betty's adventures in the "no braces" universe alone mostly. I am going to explain why the Gossip Universe is different from the prime reality (the actual show)

Warning: sexual situations, extreme personal issues involving personal choice, and heavy science fiction concepts.

For this chapter the argument between Claire and Daniel did happen it just happened at the waiting room of the gynecologist.

Chapter 26: The many lives of Amanda Meade

The day started good with Tyler lying next to her in bed after he spent the night. No, it was not in that way. She accidentally spilled blueberry Juice on his shirt last night and that is why he stayed over. He was also suffering from horrible jet lag.

The dinner went quite well. They spent the whole night talking about his time with Alexis and DJ. He really does like the idea of being an uncle. She talked about how hectic last week was because the Manhattan issue got pushed back so they could do the million dollar bra cover shoot. (It was also, why she had to get up so early. Because of the cover shoot today, the only time they could do her ultrasound was at 7:30 AM this morning.)

For the first time work was really the only thing she could talk about. At some point, she went from the girl who went partying every night to spending her evenings reading pregnancy books. Other than work, her life was pretty much about the baby right now and she didn't want to talk with him about that. She wanted to get to know Tyler first before she told him that she was carrying his niece or nephew. The thought of her having a child was terrifying enough.

Things went downhill the moment Marc ran into Tyler brushing his teeth in the kitchen as she was trying to get the blueberry juice off of his shirt. (Okay the real reason why she had Tyler in the kitchen was she didn't want him to see her go through her daily morning sickness routine.)

The look Marc gave her told her she needed to get Tyler out of there before Marc started asking questions or Monique showed up to take her to the doctor. Marc was not coming because Wilhelmina might become suspicious if they were all an hour late. Because most of the office still thought she was Daniel's dirty little secret, no one would find anything suspicious about her and Daniel showing up to work together late. She did get to kiss Tyler goodbye as he was leaving so the morning wasn't completely horrible.

Unfortunately, Monique saw her kissing Tyler from down the hall. Immediately both she and Marc started asking her questions about the night before. She swore on her favorite outfit that she will probably not be able to wear much longer that nothing happened last night.

She was getting used to getting to know a Guy before tickling his ginger. Because of her longer relationship with Matt and her new friendship with Daniel, she relies that there was more to a relationship than just sex. She didn't think she could go back to the way things used to be before her relationship with Matt.

Both of her friends asked her if Daniel knew about her relationship with Tyler. They also mention that it probably wasn't the best idea to actually start dating one guy when you're pretending to date another.

Monique and Marc both started yelling at her about how keeping secrets wasn't such a good idea. They were talking about keeping Tyler from Daniel but she knew they were really talking about keeping the baby from Matt. She knew they were right.

She knew that Daniel was using their fake relationship and his offer of help her raise the baby as a means to push away his feelings for Betty. Part of that was keeping the truth regarding the baby from Matt. She could not let him do that anymore. It was not fair to either of them.

Things got worse when they got to the gynecologist. The tension between Daniel and his mother was horrible. They actually got in an argument over Tyler before they saw the doctor. At least she got a great box of French chocolate out of it.

She was smart enough to wait until after the ultrasound happened to tell Daniel that she was breaking up their fake relationship so she could have a real one with Tyler. Unfortunately, she did not get to have the ultrasound because the sprinklers went off ruining her brand new outfit for picture day.

She almost ran into Betty running out of the doctor's office in the crush of people. It seemed like the chubby one is stuck with braces for a few more days just as she stuck without an ultrasound. She did not want to go back to that doctor anyway because she looks almost exactly like Manzilla. Apparently, Alexis dated Dr. Meir before becoming Alexis and decided to give her picture to the plastic surgeon. The similarities were creepy.

Her next major mistake of the day was she waited until after the photo shoot started to fall apart to tell Daniel about Tyler. This was a big mistake.

"Daniel can we talk for a minute?" She said in a very quiet voice as she walked into the office.

"Sure, did Candy call with another time for the doctor's appointment?"

"She's trying to see if they can get something for this afternoon. I met somebody." Amanda threw that last part in because she knew if held it back any longer she would never find the perfect time to tell him.

"I don't see how that's a problem considering we're not really dating. Although should you really be starting a new relationship with the baby on the way? "

"Monique mention the exact same thing to me this morning. I'm seeing Tyler." As soon as she said the name, a angry expression fell on Daniels face.

"Amanda how can you do this to me?" He looks so heartbroken in that moment.

"You're in love with Betty. I already actually dated Matt when we were not together. Just because you are helping me raise this child doesn't mean you have a say in how I live my life." She responded to him in anger.

"He is my half brother. You are also well aware that he's Matt's half brother as well. Don't you see how messed up this is? Are you using him as a substitute for Matt?" Daniel was starting to know her too well.

"It's better than using me to avoid Betty. I thought things were getting better and you were finally ready to tell her that you love her. Then you find out about the baby and you've been avoiding her ever since. You did not tell her about Tyler until just a few days ago. You are rarely at her apartment these days. I love that you're helping me with this child and will continue to do so even if the baby is not yours, but we both deserve better."

"Why are you turning this into a discussion about Betty and me when you want to sleep with my half brother while you're carrying his niece or nephew? I cannot have this conversation with you."

She was so angry after that she ended up in Monique's office screaming about her boss.

"I don't completely agree with everything Daniel said but I've told you before I don't think starting a relationship with Tyler right now is a very good idea. I have reasons other than the fact he is the uncle of your baby. Your life is changing rapidly right now and you don't know what's going to happen next. It's just not the right time to start a new relationship."

"I know what's going to happen next. We are to go to the gynecologist again this afternoon to get the ultrasound because Candy was able to get another appointment."

"That's not what I mean Amanda. Ever since you found out that you're pregnant you have been avoiding making hard decisions about what's going to happen. You just go along with what Daniel and I tell you. Marc told me you were looking into adoption options. You never said anything about that to me before." This accusation led her to mumble something really mean about Marc under her breath about his hair. "Although from what I understand you're only considering open adoption."

"Very open adoption. The only candidates are you or Daniel."

"What?" Monique asked in genuine surprise.

"A couple weeks ago after the first horrible doctor's appointment when you and Marc went to have a gossip party across a street Gio told me the real reason you are being so helpful. You can't have children. You didn't have a miscarriage eight years ago. You with into premature labor. You were hemorrhaging so bad they had no choice to deliver. The baby died and you ended up having a hysterectomy." Monique went as pale is possible for someone who had the same complexion as Wilhelmina when Amanda told heard these things.

"I didn't want you to know. You were already panicking enough over the baby. I didn't want you to be worried about a worst case scenario."

"You want to have a child and can't have one. Daniel wants to raise a child no matter who the biological father is. He or you will make a better parent then I will. I want to go back to my old life of drinking and partying every night." That last part seems hollow even to her.

"No you don't. You are not her anymore. You haven't been that girl for a very long time. The old Amanda would not be trying to set her ex boyfriend up with the love of his life. The old Amanda wouldn't care about Daniel's feelings involving Tyler. You have grown a lot as a person. "

"The old Amanda would be going through the baby daddy drama on a daytime talk show for the sake of celebrity." She said with a little laugh realizing how much she has changed.

"With like 10 possible fathers. Not that I'm saying you were a player."

"I just fucked a lot." Amanda said with a laugh.

"Now I know you're feeling better. You just started quoting song lyrics. Since you and Daniel are in a bad place at the moment, in effort to keeping you stress free before the appointment this afternoon he has graciously agreed to let you proofread my short story for Literature Mode."

"I seriously doubt that. We need to work on a way to get the bra back." Amanda said getting up from Monique's very comfortable couch. She wondered if she could talk Daniel into getting something like this.

"Don't worry about it. Betty and Daniel already have a plan."

"Are you keeping me up here so they have to work together like they used to?"

"Of course I want them to work together. You need to relax. You and Daniel sniping at each other during a high stress fashion shoot is not going to help. You can stay in my office while I am forced to work with Megan and Damien on the "summer sexy lingerie" shoot. When I'm done, you and I will go to the Guggenheim at the end of the shoots to pick of Daniel for the doctor's appointment."

"Fine but I want food and not a sandwich from your boyfriend's deli. It's just not as good when he's not there."

"I know. It was my idea for him to take a couple of months in Europe to study food before the wedding but I really miss him. I'm so happy he's going to come back the day before my 30th birthday. I promise I will order you something from your favorite restaurant that's baby friendly."

"Fine I will read the story." Amanda said with a sigh as she walked over to Monique's desk To Begin Reading.

She spent the next hour editing Monique story for Literature Mode. This isn't the first time Amanda has read Monique's work. Usually what Monique writes is more pornographic and involves characters that are not hers. As usual at the core was romantic science fiction with a dash of dark humor. In Monique's story a woman who is about to make a life altering decision is allowed to see three other dimensions where she made different choices. She is there with a guide who walks her through the different lives.

Amanda wished she could do that right now. Maybe if she saw what her life could have been like she could figure out what to do now. She wished she could see what her life would be like if she stayed party girl Amanda and never got with Matt. She also wish she could see what it would be like if her biological mother never gave her up for adoption. Maybe it would help her decide what she should do with her child.

For the third dimension, she would like to see a world where Betty and Daniel actually slept together. She just could not take the tension anymore. She was this close to locking the two of them in Betty's apartment with a jumble size box of condoms and two weeks worth of groceries.

"I think I can give you your wish." Amanda heard a voice that she would recognize anywhere say this. This caused her to look up from the computer screen.

"What are you doing here Alexis? Your mom didn't mention anything about you coming back from Paris?" For the sake of Tyler and Daniel, she decided not to insult their sister as usual.

"I think you have me confused was someone else. I'm not Alexis." She looked closer and it was not Alexis. The hair was slightly darker and her body was different. The woman had slightly bigger breast and she had a bit more body fat. It must be Dr. Meir, but why would she be at Player.

"Dr. Meir why are you here?" Amanda asked her in confusion.

"I'm not really your doctor. Think of me as your guide to show you what life could have been like if other choices were made. That is what you wished for. I'm here to show you your other lives." The guide said taking her hand.

"Okay I think I've been reading too many of Monique's science fiction stories."

"Probably, but at least you understand the concept of alternate dimensions. The Betty in your world was told that she was having a dream." Before Amanda even knew what was happening she found herself back at Mode. Everybody was wearing the same outfits they were this morning. Actually, people were doing the exact same things they were doing when she left 2 hours ago.

"I thought you said we were going to see another dimension?" Amanda asked in confusion.

"This is another dimension. This is the prime dimension actually. The dimension that you're from is a divergence from this." Her guide said pointing at the people in front of her.

She realizes that what her guide is saying is true when she sees herself wearing an outfit that doesn't even fit her anymore. "I'm not pregnant in this dimension." She said it as more of a statement then a question.

"No you're not. You wanted to see what it was like if you were never with Matt. In this dimension, you never slept with Matt nor did you carry on a relationship with him during his time in Africa. Actually, in this dimension you stop speaking to him when he went back to Betty. At least in your dimension you yelled at him for staying with Betty even though she was in love with Daniel."

"Why would I not do that in this dimension?" She was too afraid to ask why not sleeping with Matt in this dimension would result in her not being pregnant.

"For one thing you don't know." The guide said as they started walking to Daniels office. Apparently, nobody could see them because no one in the office noticed two of her walking around in different outfits. Her breasts are now at least half a size too big to wear the outfit the other Amanda is wearing.

"How could I not know? Monique was always pointing out the obvious to me."

"Unfortunately Monique is not here in this dimension."

"You mean Monique doesn't exist here?" Amanda asked with fear in her voice.

"Sorry, let me rephrase that. Monique exists but she never came to Meade publications. In this dimension, she and Molly were never friends in college. They actually never met. Fortunately, Monique had other friends to help her through Jordan's death and Molly had other friends to help her through chemotherapy when Connor was too obsessed with his job to care. Monique never quit her job at Isabella so she could help Molly. Monique never worked at Diversity Business and therefore never worked at Player."

"So who has that job in this dimension?"

"Damien was promoted to EIC after Daniel return to Mode. Under his direction the magazine is halfway to being out of business. It's having a hard time competing with all that free porn on the Internet." She heard her guide say sarcastically.

"Is that the only major difference in this world? Because on the surface things seem pretty much the same." Amanda said as she looked around to see a world that seemed identical to hers.

"This world is closed to yours but there are some major differences. The biggest difference is Monique and Gio never met each other. That being said they're not getting married. Monique is the creative director for Isabella now and Gio is in London at the moment with his sister in the custody of one of his aunt's."

"That's sad because I know how much they love each other. What else is different?"

"Why Don't I stop telling you and show you." Her guide said pointing to the conversation taking place between her and Daniel. I don't think you and him will mind us being a fly on the wall."

"Why does it sound like I'm breaking up with him?" Amanda said as she watched the conversation between herself and Daniel.

"That's because you are." Amanda was shocked by what her guide just told her.

"We're still together in this dimension? Why are we still together? Do I have any self-respect? He is in love with Betty in this dimension, right?" Amanda said that last part in worry.

"I'm not going to answer your last question right now. As for why you're still together you didn't have Matt to show you what a real relationship was like. In this dimension all those lunches that you two had together filled with deep conversation never happened. You never slept with Matt."

"How can my relationship with Matt be affected by Monique and Molly never being friends?"

"Okay I guess I am going to have to answer your last question. Daniel does love Betty in this dimension. The problem is he's in denial about it."

"He's in denial about it in the other dimension." Amanda said with hands on her hips.

"It's worse in this dimension. In this dimension, there's no Monique to keep making jokes about his relationship with Betty. In your dimension, she kept forcing him to see things he didn't want to. Also in this dimension, there was nobody there to tell Molly that her husband was in love with his best friend. Molly didn't know how hard it is to lose someone you love to death because she never saw what Monique went through when Jordan died. Because of that, she never had her talk with Betty. She never asked Betty to take care of him."

"I can see where that could change things. However, from what Monique told Me Molly figured out what was going on between Daniel and Betty on her own."

"She figured it out eventually in this dimension as well but by then it was too late to do anything. Actually, in this dimension Molly didn't realize anything was going on until last may when her and Daniel went to see the new Star trek movie and Daniel said, "Spock and Kirk's relationship reminds me a lot of my relationship with Betty." Molly was too shocked to actually explain what he really said with that comparison."

"Daniel said that in our dimension too. Although Daniel said her reaction was to start laughing hysterically. He didn't get why she started laughing until a couple of weeks ago when he read some of Monique more risqué stories involving those two fictional characters."

"In addition to not having Monique to slap you upside the head when you and Daniel were being stupid, Daniel and Betty spent a lot more time together because of her promise to Molly. In addition, because Daniel was less in denial about his feelings he made every excuse possible to be with Betty. Because Betty and Daniel were spending so much more time together, Matt had more time to spend with you. That caused your relationship to be much closer in your dimension before he decided to go back to Betty. When he finally gave up on Betty for good, your relationship from before was still there. He loves you." Amanda had the urge to laugh at her guide when she said that.

"No he doesn't. I need proof." Amanda said in a whisper. She just couldn't believe Matt loved her.
"That I can't show you because you already know. However, I can show you prove that Daniel loves Betty in this dimension." Before she realized what just happened they were standing at the Guggenheim on one of the upper floors watching an obvious unconscious Betty lying on the ground. She sees the absolute look of terror on Daniel's face as he sees Betty's unconscious body on the ground. She sees Daniel's hand desperately trying to find her pulse point. She can see the look of relief on his face when she came to. She's never seen him that happy before.

"He loves her. Even though everything is different, he loves her. Does she love him?"

"That's why she was unconscious." The guide said cryptically pointing at Betty.

"What are you talking about?" Amanda asked in pure confusion.

"She is going through the exact same thing you are. She wasn't really unconscious. She is seeing what her life would be like if things were different. She thinks it is a dream but in reality her guide was taking her to another dimension where she got the good teeth genes."

"But she is not pregnant."

"This version's not." She heard the guide mumble quietly. "Your Betty as well as the Betty in your dimension have a very big decision to make. Her guide was taking her to a dimension where she was born with perfect teeth."

"This is connected to Betty making an important decision how?"

"The decision both women need to make is related to loving Daniel."

"In my dimension she has already came to that realization. She's just not taking any action on that realization. Last week she dated some sleazy playwright."

"That happened in this dimension too. This Betty isn't quite ready to admit she loves Daniel, but she is well aware that Daniel means everything to her. Let's just say in both dimensions she left Matt in jail to get to Daniel faster when he was caught up with that cult." Why is she not surprise.

"So denial's a genetic trait?"

"Essentially yes."

"Exactly how is going to a dimension where Betty is not ugly, going to help with the Daniel/Betty situation?"

"In the other dimension, she's beautiful on the outside and ugly on the inside. Most importantly Daniel hates her."

"How can Daniel ever hate her?" No one knows how much Daniel really loves Betty more than her. No matter how different the world is, those two are supposed to be together.

"A part of it may have to do with her being Wilhelmina slave for a year before she became an editor after screwing Daniel over in the metaphorical sense. I think the major reason why he hates her is that he's under the impression that she sold him out to the tabloids. He doesn't know that was all Wilhelmina's doing."

"Betty would never sell Daniel out to the tabloids. She's too much in love with him to do that."

"That is true in the no braces the mention as well, but he doesn't know that. You did say you wanted to see a dimension where they actually sleep together. You might as well see what's happening." Before Amanda realized what was happening she was at the Mode building again, inside of a office with Betty's name on it.

"She is a managing editor. How can she be a managing editor just by working for Wilhelmina? It took Marc years just to become a junior editor?"

"I don't know. I didn't create this dimension, I only provide you with access. According to my notes it involves some dirty deal with Alexis." Within a few seconds, Amanda sees herself wearing an absolutely hideous outfit as she started making out with Tyler. She also noticed the wedding ring on her other self's hand.

"I'm married to Tyler in this dimension?" She asked with a hint of surprise.

"You're sleeping with Tyler in this dimension." At that moment, "Pretty Betty" walked into yell at the other her about sleeping with Tyler. Amanda wasn't sure what she found more shocking, discovering that she is married to Daniel or discovering that Betty actually cheated on her celebrity boyfriend with Daniel. She almost threw up at the thought of a threesome between her, Tyler, and Betty.

"I married to Daniel and I'm cheating on him with Tyler. I would never do that." She didn't even feel comfortable being in a fake relationship with Daniel when she was starting to develop feelings for Tyler.

"It's too bad she left. I wanted to ask her how the abortion went this morning. I don't want any illegitimate brats taking away from my half of the fortune." She heard the other Amanda say as she began to unzipped Tyler's pants and sink down to her knees.

"You would never do that. The Amanda who is currently giving Tyler a blowjob didn't have the influence of good Betty or Monique. Both women made you a much stronger person. Both women gave you a stronger moral compass."

"So that's who I would become without Betty or Monique's influence?" Amanda asked in pure horror.

"Unfortunately, yes. She is a rich shallow bitch who cares only about herself and her next tummy tuck."

"That Amanda only cares about having a rich husband. I would never tell Betty to have an abortion just to keep my riche husband." Amanda said touching the stomach that currently did not house her child.

"That was not how you felt before you found out you were adopted. In this universe, Christina didn't have the good Betty as a friend and left a lot earlier. You and her word never locked in a secret sex room together. The room wasn't discovered until after Bradford's death and Daniel purposely chose never to tell you that Faye was your mother. He wanted to protect you."

"I'm not that person." Amanda said in disgust as she pointed at the person now riding Tyler on top of Betty's desk. The entire situation made her want to throw up.

"I better tell you the rest of this complicated situation. A couple weeks ago, Betty and Daniel in this dimension slept together. Even though they act like they hate each other they do love each other. Betty was willing to give up everything if Daniel would truly love her. Wilhelmina found out and put it all over the tabloids." Her guide said this as she showed her a vision of Daniel and Betty arguing with each other.

"That's why Daniel hates her so much. He thinks it's all a trick." Amanda said covering her eyes from the disturbing scene behind her.

"To make matters more complicated last week Betty found out she was pregnant and was absolutely terrified. Her best friend, the Amanda from this dimension, told her to get rid of the baby. Unlike you, this Betty doesn't have the support you have. She doesn't have real friends just acquaintances. This morning even though she was unsure she went to the doctor's office to have the procedure done."

"Let me guess the sprinklers went off?"

"Exactly. She is now in the prime dimension discovering how her life would be different if she wasn't beautiful."

"What's the purpose of that?"

"To make her realize how much she loves Daniel and that she can be a better person. Think of it as a Christmas Carol with better outfits."

"Does the Daniel in this dimension love her?" Before the question was out of her mouth she found herself in the copy room watching Daniel suck on the neck of a woman who wasn't Betty but looked a lot like her.

"Not so hard. Just because you're mad at the woman you really love don't take it out on me." The woman on the copier said with anger in her voice.

"I don't love her. She used me." Daniel said in pure bitterness.

"Do you really believe that?"

"Which part?"

"Both parts. I'm tired of being your Betty replacement Daniel. You two need two work this out." The woman said pushing herself away from Daniel as she refastened her blouse. She had just enough time to see the devastated look on Daniel's face as she was flashed back to the Guggenheim again. This time she is watching Wilhelmina run away as "pretty Betty" is attacked by stupid security guards. Even she knows Wilhelmina is the one wearing the bra. Fortunately, someone has a clue and tackles Wilhelmina to the floor.

For the second time she sees Daniel standing over Betty's body. The look of love is still there but so is a great deal of pain and hatred.

"Where am I? Where are my glasses?" The Betty on the ground said groggily.

"I thought someone who is as obsessed with her appearance as you would never wear glasses."

"I did until mom died. Then I got Lasik. The nicer Betty in the other dimension still wears glasses. You love the nicer me. She doesn't know it yet but you do. She's not a Bitch like me. Do you know I have a nephew there? I always wanted a Nephew. I wonder if he would be okay with the new baby." The other Betty said incoherently as Daniel held on to her reluctantly.

"Okay I think we need to get you to the hospital." Daniel said helping her up.

"No we have to stop Wilhelmina. She's trying to sabotaged the fashion shoot. We have to stop her." The pretty Betty said right before she doubled over in pain and fell back into Daniel's arms.

"Sit back down. You're more important then the fashion shoot. The police are currently dragging Wilhelmina off for questioning. You already stopped her.

"You don't think I'm more important than the fashion shoot. You hate me. I hate me." The pretty Betty said looking at the ground.

"I don't hate you." Daniel said without looking at her in a near whisper.

"I almost killed our baby." Betty said this so softly that Amanda was shocked she was able to hear.

"Let me guess this Daniel wants to have kids too. Why isn't shallow me barefoot and pregnant?"

"He wants kids. Just not with you. He doesn't want to bring children into a relationship that's as bad as his parents was." Amanda heard her guide say before she returns her attention the conversation between this dimensions Betty and Daniel.

"I couldn't do it. I know you think I'm a monster but I couldn't do it."

"You're not a monster."

"Yes I am. I saw what I could be in the other dimension. I was not a managing editor but people like me. I actually care about something other than myself. My family loved me instead of seeing me as a piggy bank. My sister didn't try to keep eating her emotions away. You love me there. That's what I missed the…" The "pretty Betty" was cut off by Daniel kissing her. It was a deep and passionate kiss that put the kiss in the other dimension to shame. Both are pushing into the other desperately trying to connect.

"I love you here. It will be okay. You, the baby. and I will be okay." That was the last thing Amanda heard before finding herself at Mode again.

"Why did you flash us out of there at that moment. I want to see what happens. Is the baby okay? Do her and Daniel live happily ever after?"

"Yes, the babies okay. I'm not 100% sure about the happily ever after but they are happy right now. I also think she is going to be less of a bitch now that she is the new creative director. Although the other you is about to lose a husband." Her guide said with a little less empathy.

"It's not much of a loss. I respect myself too much to want to be married to someone who doesn't love me."

"That's because you've grown as a person."

"I guess I have. Where are we this time?" Amanda asked her guide not recognizing where they were.

"We are in your office at Mode"

"I don't have an office. I have a desk next to Daniel's office." Amanda said as she got up and explored the room.

"No in this dimension you have your own office. You don't have an assistant yet but you will soon. Also you have a nephew who helps you out after school." She heard her guide say this to her as she notices the picture of her and Daniel hugging on the front of her desk. Then she saw a picture of her and DJ in front of the Eiffel tower. She walked up to the door and noticed the words "Amanda Somers-Meade managing editor" in white on the glass.

"How am I an editor? Am I married to Daniel again in this dimension?"

"No you're not married to Daniel again."

"Thank god." She didn't think she could deal with another reality like that.

"It was your mom who married Bradford." That fact was just a shocking.

"My parents divorced and my mom remarried Bradford Meade in this dimension?"

"That is not exactly what happened. Although the parents that adopted you in your dimension did get divorced eventually in this dimension. However, they never adopted you here."

"How did that happen?"

"They never adopted you because Faye never put you up for adoption." A voice broke through Amanda's confusion that she hasn't heard in years. The last time she heard the voice she didn't know why it would matter so much. Now she knew.

"Amanda I need you. The soon to be wife of your idiotic brother just fucked up the entire million dollar bra shoot."

"I did not fuck up the shoot. That was the head of promotion who screwed us over, because of what you did with her husband. Candy is already talking to Allison to see if we can get 2 hours. If that doesn't work I will talk to Eve myself." This time she heard Monique speaking. Why was Monique at Mode? Amanda didn't think about that as she turned around and saw the person she never thought she would see alive again.

"Mom?"

To be continued
