"Mom?" Jude started to get angry. "How did you get this number?"

"I have my ways. You have to come home now. You shouldn't be away with him, after what he did to Sadie, you can't trust him."

"I don't have to listen to this. Goodbye."

"Jude, come on think about this. I can have a ticket for you to fly back here tonight. Then you can spend the rest of your vacation with Don and me."

"Because that will be the most fun I could ever think of having over my week off."

"Honey, I want to spend some time with you before you have to go back to work. It could be just the two of us."

"I haven't forgiven you yet, and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon. Don't bother calling back, I'm staying here." With that Jude hung up the phone and looked over to Tommy and Nick.

"What was that about?" Nick asked.

"I don't have the closest relationship with my mother at the moment." She turned to Tommy. "She wants me to come home tonight because you are 'untrustworthy'. And it sounds like her and Don are really moving back to Toronto. I guess I can't avoid her forever."

"What did she do?"

"Last year she put our house up for sale, got married to her divorce lawyer without me aware of it, and has been in Europe since then; only deciding now to try and talk to me."

"Sounds like such a great mother."

"Oh yeah, the best." Jude looked back to Tommy who was now putting the dishes into the dish washer. "What are we doing today?"

"No plans really."

"How about we all take a trip down to Whitefish." Nick suggested.

"What is in Whitefish?" Jude asked.

"Whitefish Mountain Resort." Tommy told her. "We have been there with Kaiden a couple of times before."

"Have you ever skied or snowboarded?" Nick questioned Jude.

"Once, but it wasn't on a mountain."

"So do you want to go? It'll be fun." Nick said trying to get her to say yes.

"Sure, why not?"

"Are we staying the night?" He looked to both Nick and Jude.

They both said that it was okay with them.

"I'm going to ask Kaiden if she wants to come."

"Okay, but if she's not here in an hour we are leaving without her." Tommy told his brother.

"Sure." Nick said leaving the room.

"Do you want to ski or snowboard?" Tommy asked Jude.

"I think I'll try snowboarding."

"I'll go look to see if we have one for you." Tommy told Jude as he walked towards the garage.

As soon as Jude was alone in the kitchen there was a knock on the door.

After a few seconds without Tommy or Nick coming to answer the door, Jude decided to open it.

Jude walked over to the front door and opened it to find Alex standing on the other side. She was looked different from when Jude had seen her yesterday. She was…happier, and more put together.

"Hello Jude." She said smiling.

"Hi." Jude greeted quietly wishing she hadn't been the one to answer the door. "Are you here to see Tommy or Nick?"

"Neither actually." Jude looked at her confused. "I was hoping I could talk to you."

"Oh, uh-"

"Jude, I found a s-" Tommy walked into the room and stopped talking when he saw Jude and Alex. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to Jude."

"We have to get ready, we are going somewhere."

"I will only be a minute." She looked at Tommy with hopeful eyes. Tommy looked to Jude to see if she was okay with it.

"I'll be able to get ready quickly." Jude said telling Tommy that she was fine to talk to Alex.

Tommy studied Jude's face and when he was sure it would be okay to leave them alone he left to go upstairs and get ready to go.

"You two are going somewhere?" Alex asked when they were alone.

"Nick, Tommy, and I are going to a Ski Resort." Jude said wondering why Alex was here.

As if she could read minds, "I wanted to apologize for yesterday. For the past couple of weeks I…"She seemed to be debating whether or not to continue with what she was going to say. "I have been worrying about something and I took my anger about it out on everyone around me. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay."

"No, I shouldn't have acted that way. And it turned out nothing was wrong."

"What did you think was wrong?" Alex didn't answer. "If it's personal…you don't have to tell me."

"I thought my cancer was back." She said quietly. "I didn't tell anyone because I wasn't sure yet, and I didn't want to worry anyone. But I started panicking and I-"

"You're okay now?"

"Yeah, I was at the doctor to get my test results this morning, and it was a false alarm."

"That's great. Everyone thought something had happened to you."

"After last time I didn't want them to have to go through it again. Especially since it wasn't a sure thing yet. Now I know that I can't keep things bottled up from them. I also have to apologize to Tom for yelling at him. I don't think he is going to be as forgiving as you seem to be."

"It's understandable, don't think I would react well to thinking I have cancer. He shouldn't stay mad."

"I said some things I wish I hadn't; I'm sorry for that too."

"My mother feels the same way." Alex looked at Jude confused.

"Your mother?"

"Yeah, after Tommy dated my sister, she hasn't really liked him so she hates how close we are. She doesn't want me to make the same mistake of dating him like Sadie did. But I'm not talking to her so I don't really care."

"Tommy didn't tell you everything I said I guess." She sounded ashamed.

"You weren't mad because you thought we were together?"

"That was part of it, but I got a little carried away. I said-"

"I think it would be better if I didn't know."

"You're right. Tommy stood up for you; he must really care about you." Jude opened her mouth to say something but Alex kept talking. "I know you two aren't together now, but I think you will be eventually." She smiled at Jude. "I'll let you go get ready. Again I am really sorry."

"It's fine."

"I'm just going to try and talk to Tommy. If he'll listen." The two began walking upstairs.

"If he doesn't talk we'll just have to force him to. I know a few ways you can do it. So if you need my help…I'd give you my card if I had one." Jude added smiling trying to lighten the mood.

"Of all times not to have a card with you." The two were laughing when Tommy walked over to where Jude and Alex were laughing and looked confused.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Alex asked Tommy after she stopped laughing.

"I have stuff to do before I leave." He said trying to get out of talking to her.

"Come here." Jude said grabbing Tommy's arm and pulling him into his bedroom before mouthing 'one sec' to Alex.

"What are you doing?" Tommy asked when they were in his room.

"Why won't you talk to her?"

"You didn't hear what she said yesterday."

"She wants to apologize."

"It doesn't matter what she wants to do. I don't feel like talking to her."

"You can be so stubborn."

"Me? I remember your mom calling wanting to talk to you, and you hanging up."

"She was trying to get me to come home. She doesn't want me around you."

"Sounds like what Alex was saying to me last night. Did you know that?"

"She also-"

"Left without telling you, I know. But it doesn't matter, you don't want to talk to your mom and I don't want to talk to Alex."

"If you just listen to her now I'll…I'll read the letter my mom left for me before she left and I'll call her when we get back here tomorrow."

"Fine." Tommy agreed before he walked back out of his room to talk to Alex.
