x 29. by Kastlefan301:
Kate pulled up to the passenger pickup lane at JFK. She'd spotted Alexis waiting on the sidewalk and honked the car horn, rolled down the window and called to her with a friendly wave. "Hey, Alexis, over here."
Alexis ran over carrying her bag for the spring break weekend, opened the door to Kate's car, and climbed into the passenger seat. "Hey Kate. Where's dad?" she asked in an uneasy smile.
"He's at the loft writing. He would have come with me but he's right in the middle of a plot."
"Oh," Alexis sort of frowned, disappointed Rick wasn't with Kate.
"So, how was your flight," Kate asked with a smile as she pulled away from the curb.
"Ok, except there was this lady in the seat across the aisle that kept talking about this show she watches. About some mystery writer and a detective. She was about to drive me wild." Alexis rolled her eyes.
Kate chuckled. Kate and Alexis had begun to get a bit closer over Christmas holiday. Things weren't completely the best between them but they were working on it. They rode in silence for a while until Alexis finally asked what she'd been holding out to say. "You really care about my dad, don't you, Kate?"
"I thought you were holding out on me," Kate glanced over and gave her a closed lipped smile. "Yes...I do Alexis...very much so. Does that bother you?"
"Uh, no. I..I mean it did...for a bit...when you...you were shot. I was scared about Dad and Gram. And for you too...but. Well...I guess I was mad at you all that time. Look I'm sorry I blamed you. It's just your job and your job affected us all in a bad way."
"No, Alexis don't be sorry. You reacted the way anyone would. Don't blame yourself. Your Dad and Gram are your family. I'm not. I understand why you were mad and didn't want me around your dad."
"But in a way you are family, Kate, because you're with Dad, now. I guess I'm trying to say I'm not mad anymore and I'm sorry the way I acted to you. Dad loves you and I know you love him. I respect you and look up to you. Having you around is like having a mom around and...I like that."
Kate smiled over at Alexis realizing again how mature she was. "That's sweet of you to say. I have to tell you...your dad's really at home writing, but I think he really just wanted us to have some girl time together. Talk...maybe go shopping?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, burgers at Remi's and then hit the stores?"
"That works."
