A/N : Let's start with the thankyous - thanx to my wonderful reviewers; tetris, Azkaban Canuck, Cordelia Osbourne, macdeniken, Starbright Moonlight, ndblue123, XxArEULoStxX, but I'm not going to tell any of you what's going to happen next! You'll just have to keep reading to find out ;)

Now, here is chapter 6, and we find out more about why Lilly and Boris are fighting.....

(Disclaimer : see chapter 5)

"Boris, please talk to us" Mia pleaded, "We're your family and we just want to help you"

"It's not that simple" the man told her, but Michael was determined.

"It can be that simple" he said, simply, "I know you and my sister were made for each other and you were happy together for so long. What changed?"

"I did something, or rather I accused her of doing something and I think I may have been wrong..." Boris trailed off and put his head in hands.

Michael glanced at Mia with a look that said 'Guy talk - could you give us a minute?' Mia understood and nodded her head.

"I'm going to go and check on the baby" she said, quietly, standing up and walking toward the door. She turned back as she left, to smile slightly at her husband. He gave a small smile back. They understood each other perfectly. Michael would get what information he could from Boris whilst Mia did the same with Lilly. That should make everything easier.

As soon as Mia was gone, Michael began his interrogation on Boris.

"It's just us now, Boris, so you can tell me what happened. I promise I'm not going to get mad or upset about anything, I just want to know the truth. Why is Lilly upset? What started all this?"

Boris lifted his head to look at his brother-in-law.

"It's James" he said quietly, "I accused Lilly...I..."

"You, what?"

"I said I didn't think James was my son!" the man finally admitted. Michael looked shocked, but he did not say a word. He just rose from his seat and walked over to the window in silence.

"Who is it?" Lily asked as a tap came on the door.

"It's me, Lil" Mia said, as she opened the door and came into the room. "Michael is talking to Boris. He thinks it might be easier if it's just the men" she smiled a small smile and sat down next to her friend. "Lilly, tell me how all this started. There has to be a reason. I refuse to believe that you just stopped loving each other..."

"I never stopped loving him!" Lilly answered quickly, "I still love him as much now as I ever did"

"Then please, Lilly, tell me what really happened"

"Lies, Mia" she laughed humourlessly, "The one thing that will ruin any relationship is lies" Realising her answer had only served to further confuse her friend and, not wanting to destroy the relationship she had with her sister-in-law and best friend, Lilly admitted defeat and told the whole story.

"It started about six months ago. I went back to work, like I said, so I was out of the house for several hours a day. Boris came home early one day, before I got home and he was looking for something in the closet in our room. He found a box of photographs and he was looking at them when I came home. All my photos were in that box. Old pictures from school, of you and me and Michael and Boris and new pictures of the kids and others that spanned all the time in between..." she trailed off.

"Go on" Mia urged.

"When I came home, I found him in our room surrounded by all these pictures. He was almost in tears and I couldn't understand why. When I asked him what was wrong, he just pushed a handful of photos at me and stormed out..." her voice cracked and a tear fell down her face. "The pictures he'd handed me were from about eighteen years ago" she explained, reaching into her bag next to her and pulling out the objects she spoke of. She handed the pile of five pictures to Mia who looked at them carefully, her eyes wide. Every picture was of Lilly and a young man, two pictures of them standing with their arms around each other and two pictures of them sitting together, smiling.

"Who is this?" Mia asked with a shaky voice as she pointed to the man in the photographs.

"As far as Boris is concerned, that's Jay's father" she sobbed.

"And is it?" Mia wasn't sure she wanted to know but she knew she had to ask, "Is this guy your son's father?"

Lilly was silent.

A/N : I know, I know, I'm an awful person for leaving it on a cliffhanger but I want to keep you interested! ;) Anyway, please review and I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
