Here's chapter twenty-nine. Figured I'd better get it out here before an angry mob came after me, LOL!

Anyway, I think it's now safe to say that "ITTY" is nearly over. Yep...

WELL... enjoy. Hopefully... .


"Well?" Kim said when no words came flowing out of the other woman's mouth. She refused to completely let up on the pressure on Gina's throat. You had to be careful with this woman. Very. "Answer me, Gina. Now. I'm dead serious."

Gina glared up at her, her uneasiness transforming into annoyance and anger once again. "Kimberly, this is ridiculous. Look what you're doing."

Kim's eyes blazed and she quickly brought the pressure back- causing Gina to moan in pain. But Kim really didn't care. At this point, she'd do almost anything to get Gina to 'fess up. She was so sick of all this crap. She really was. It just couldn't go on any further. "Gina, if you just do us all a favor by doing what you know is the right thing, I won't even press charges."

"For what?

"For breaking into this house and trying to kidnap a young child," Kim said calmly.

"A young child who happens to be mine," Gina snapped.

"Like I said before, they'll go easy on you and get you the help you need if you just tell the truth now," Kim said as if Gina hadn't spoken one word at all.

"This is-" Gina began.

"Did you really love Jason once?" Kim asked.

"I married him, didn't I?" Gina said, rolling her eyes.

"Like that means anything. I think you just thought you loved him. You didn't. How could you when it's obvious you don't even love or like yourself? Gina, you're in no condition at all to take care of a child," Kim said honestly.

"Kim, I'm in no mood for this crap," Gina said harshly. "Besides, when did you become a psychologist anyway?"

"Forget Jason and me. And yourself, for once. Think of who's really important in all this- Jade. You may not wanna be a mother, but, not even you would wanna traumatize a child like this," Kim said.

"Kim-"

"You left her, Gina. You left her. It didn't do much damage because you came back a few months later. But this... it won't be good for her at all. God, Gina. A four-year-old shouldn't have "get a rape test" on their "to-do" list," Kim said, shaking her head.

Gina fell silent. Kim watched her face carefully, but, it revealed nothing. The blonde's eyes were empty. So, she was really going to put her own flesh and blood through this crap. A child she'd carried for nearly a year and brought into the world. Wow. Renewed rage filled Kim. She couldn't believe she'd bothered trying to talk sense into this woman. Had actually tried to help her. 'Hell, maybe I am the crazy one.'

"You are so hateful. It's hard to believe you're a real person. I hope you a have a nice, big room down in Hell. You are really, without a doubt, the single most screwed up, bitter, heartless-" Kim was saying.

"I'll do it," Gina cut in.

Kim cocked an eyebrow. "Say what?"

"I said I'll do it," Gina said coolly.

"You'll do it," Kim said slowly.

"Yes, dammit," Gina snapped. Then, she sighed heavily. "I'll do it... I'll tell the cops the truth."


Kim looked over at Gina as they headed up to the doors to the police station. Karen was with Jade now. Anyway, Gina had said nothing the whole ride here. No arguments, no insults, no psychotic rants... nothing. Kim still had her guard up, though. If Gina tried to break out into a run or something, Kim was fully prepared to go after her and tackle her crazy butt down to the ground.

When they entered the station, Kim grabbed Gina's arm and led her over to Detective Ferguson- who looked up from the paperwork on his desk and frowned at the sight of them. He stood up straight and folded his arms over his chest.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Gina has something interesting to share with you, detective," Kim said lightly.

Gina looked down at her feet, then, up at the expectant detective. She cleared her throat, ran her fingers through her hair and began shifting her weight from foot to foot. Then, she hugged herself and looked around the station. She couldn't believe this. How had it all gotten so messed up? Why had her life ended up like this?

"Well, Miss Wakely?" Ferguson said, more than a hint of irritation in his voice.

Gina's focus returned to him and she began trembling. "I lied," she said, her voice barely a whisper.

"Pardon?" he said with a frown.

"I lied!" she screamed- causing Kim to jump a little and everyone in the station to look at her. Gina shook her head rapidly. "I lied. I lied. I lied. The truth is, I set it all in motion."

"What are you talking about?" Ferguson asked.

"Almost a year ago, I left my husband and daughter by choice," she said. "I didn't want that life anymore. I didn't think I was cut out for it. So, I left him a letter, then, headed for Sacramento- searching for a life I'd really be happy with and, for awhile, I had it. I know what I did was wrong, but, I just couldn't, okay? I couldn't."

Ferguson looked over at Kim, then, Gina again. "Are you being forced to say any of this?"

'Oh, please,' Kim thought, unable to help rolling her eyes.

"No. It's all true. Jason didn't force me out of Jade's life. I left because I really wanted to. And, even though he is my least favorite person now, he is and always have been a very good parent. He loves Jade and would never do what I accused him of. Not in a million years," Gina said, feeling dangerously close to a genuine breakdown. Everything had gotten so out of control. All she'd wanted was... wait. What was it that she wanted exactly? Had she really found out yet?

Ferguson looked into her eyes. "Miss... you said you wanted to leave your life behind. If that's true, why did you come back and why in the hell did you make such a serious accusation? An innocent man is in a jail cell right now."

"I don't know why I- look, I just- everything just isn't right! I saw how close she was with Kimberly and I freaked, all right? I couldn't deal with the fact that they seemed like this happy little family," Gina said angrily.

"Why not? You didn't want a family. Why did you even care?" the detective asked.

"Because I knew they'd brainwash her. That they'd turn her against me and make her hate me," Gina said, slamming her palm on the desk. "Another thing, I was going to take Jade away tonight to keep the test from happening. I... broke into Jason and Kim's house-"

"What?" Ferguson said, his eyes widening slightly.

"I know, all right? Another really bad move. But I was desperate! Can't anybody understand-" she was saying.

"Can you?" the detective asked. He couldn't believe how seriously unbalanced this woman so obviously was. They'd made a huge mistake... . He looked at Kim. "Miss, I don't know what to say except that, well, I- I'm... I've never been very good at apologies. But... I'm very sorry. I, I really am."

"I believe you. All I really want is for Jason to get out of here," Kim said.

"Understandable," Ferguson said. He really wasn't looking forward to giving the apology that Jason Scott deserved. This was truly one of the most humiliating and disturbing situations he'd ever been in. "There is one matter to handle before he's released. Miss Wakely broke into your house. You know you can press charges."

Kim looked over at Gina- who closed her eyes. Oh, yeah. It'd be really easy to do it. She definitely wanted to and yet... she didn't. And really couldn't. Gina didn't need jail or prison time. She needed psychiatric help. Besides, there was Jade to think about. No matter what Gina had done or tried to do, she was still- after all- Jade's mother. Jade had been through enough.

"Yeah, I know I can. But, as much as I'd love Gina to be under the prison... I'm not gonna press charges," Kim said. Gina's eyes flew open and she looked at Kim in shock.

"Are you sure?" Ferguson asked.

"Yes," Kim said seriously. "No real damage was done."

"I'll get Jason now," the detective said quietly, then, turned to leave.

"Why did you do that?" Gina asked Kim.

"I love Jade," Kim said simply.

A couple minutes later, Ferguson returned with Jason in tow. The apology he'd fumbled through before leading Jason away would have been hilarious if Jason wasn't so damn tired right now. And he couldn't believe Gina had confessed. What had made her?

Kim's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and she ran over to Jason. She hugged him wordlessly. Gina, meanwhile, looked nervous. Ferguson looked at Kimberly.

"Ma'am, are you sure you don't wanna press charges for the break-in?"

Jason's eyes widened. Break-in? Ferguson hadn't mentioned that to him. "Kim, what the hell is talking about?" Before she could answer, Jason looked at his ex-wife. "You broke into my house?"

"She was all set to take Jade, but-" Kim began.

"You're twisted, Gina. You're the most twisted person I've ever met in my life and that's saying a lot 'cause I've seen a lot of mind-blowing things," Jason said, giving her a steely glare.

"Oh, yeah," Kim muttered in agreement.

After signing the release forms, the detective looked at Jason. "You're free to go. But, before you do, you need to make a choice here. You can have your ex-wife arrested."

Gina's stomach tightened. She suddenly felt very sick. Oh, God, no. No. The thought of jail... . True, she'd had this coming, but, the very idea of jail... . When Jason looked at her, she saw absolutely nothing in his eyes and it just made her stomach tighten even more.

Jason began rubbing his chin. "Yeah, I know."

"Are you going to?" the detective asked.

Jason looked at Kim, then, the detective and finally, Gina. "She should be locked up." Gina felt like she would have that meltdown right here and now... it was obvious. "But not in a jail cell." Her jaw dropped.

Jason looked at Ferguson. "My daughter's been through enough. So have I. You don't have to arrest her... unless she chooses to ignore the restraining order I want."

"What?" Gina screeched.

Jason ignored her. "Do the community service thing if ya want. Even have her spend the night here. Medicate her. Whatever. Just make it light. I'm just going to get a restraining order because I don't want Gina Wakely anywhere near my daughter or me."

"Jason-" Gina began.

"Just be glad I'm cutting you slack you sure as hell don't deserve. Let's get outta here, Kim," Jason said, taking her hand.

'I can't let him get away with this,' Gina thought angrily as she slammed her palm on the desk again. But... what could she do? There had to be something, right?


"You did what?"

Kim sighed and shook her head. It was now over an hour later and they were in bed. Anyway, she'd just informed Jason of the kitchen incident with Gina. "Look, Jase, I know that I just had kids, but, she made me snap. I had to do something. She's such a bitch."

Jason looked at her in disapproval for a few moments, then, burst out laughing- unable to help it. He certainly wasn't for Kim fighting like that after being in a delivery room just days ago, but, she was right and Gina definitely knew how to bring it out of a person. Kim's eyebrows raised and he pulled her close.

"You know something, Pinky?"

"What?"

"You're awesome," he said seriously before kissing her forehead.


Again, I don't have a lotta law knowledge, so... just remember "hey, it's only a fic" and go with it, please. I'm so crazy... LOL. Anyway, as I said before, things are about to wrap up soon... not before a couple more things taking place, of course. Cya.
