Todd glanced around his empty house. His life had once been perfect and he
had gone and screwed it up. Sexy Kate Reed and her tempting lips had been
too much but Megan was so beautiful. It was at that moment Todd realized
how big the house was. He and Megan had planned to have 3 or 4 children and
live here forever now it was gone. Stupid mistakes. Todd picked up the
phone to call Liz. He had to figure out how to explain everything to Megan.
She was the most important thing to him. Quickly he dialed the McDermott's
phone number.
"Hello?" Elizabeth's voice answered.
"Hey Liz's it Todd. Is Megan home?" he asked feeling like a high school boy all over again. "Sorry Todd Megan's um out" she said in a voice that Todd knew as the "I'm not telling you everything voice" "Well where is she?" Todd asked. "I told you she's you know out" Liz said firmly.
"Come on Liz she's still my wife. I really need to talk to her," Todd pleaded. "Okay she's out with a guy" Liz said finally. "Do I know this guy?" Todd asked. "Todd" Elizabeth warned. "Come on please" "Okay yes it's Jake Mitchell's. They're on a date. Happy?" Elizabeth asked. "My wife is out on a date?" Todd asked calmly. Elizabeth remained silent and he knew for sure. "Gotta go Liz," he said hanging up. Todd put down the phone and then he muttered, "Damn. Screw that Mitchells"

Jessica looked at her outfit for the millionth time. Today Jeremy was taking her to meet his daughter and she wanted to look presentable. The jeans, white sleeveless turtleneck and jean jacket was formal enough without being stiff and had just the right playful. She'd probably meet
Jeremy's ex-wife to. There was a knock at the door. Jessica crossed the family room and stared at the couch. Just a week ago she and Jeremy had snuggled on that couch. This relationship was moving fast. Jessica opened the door and there was Jeremy and a little girl who looked eerily
like Jessica and Elizabeth at that age. Jessica gasped. "Jessica this is Rachel" Jeremy said. The little girl had blonde hair a little lighter then Jessica's, her eyes were the same exact color and she had a dimple in her right cheek instead of her left. "Oh my god Jeremy she looks like I did at that age," Jessica said. Jeremy smiled "I told you," he said. Jessica bent down level with Rachel. "Hi Rachel. My name's Jessica and I'm your daddy's girlfriend," she said. "Hi Jessica" Rachel said shyly. "You know what Rachel?" Jessica asked. Rachel seemed interested the little girl smiled "What?" she asked. "I have a twin sister named Elizabeth and we looked almost exactly like you when we were your age" Jessica said. Rachel's eyes widened and Jeremy picked her up. Jessica stood up. "Really?" she asked "Yup. Do you want to see a picture?" Jessica asked. Rachel nodded. Jessica walked over to the coffee table and picked up her favorite picture of Liz and her. They were 4 or 5 and they were at the beach. It was a bright sunny day and they were standing at the waters edge with their arms around each other. She brought it over to the little girl. "Hey look it's me," Rachel said. "Nope see that's me," she said pointing to the girl in purple "And that's Liz" she said pointing to the girl in blue. Rachel looked up at her in awe.

"So Tia this trip is going to be so fun isn't it," Melissa said. Tia gritted her teeth. She was sure Melissa knew she didn't want her there and now she was rubbing it in her face. "Yeah whatever. Do you have any mascara?" Tia asked. "I have never owned mascara in my life. My eyelashes are naturally dark and long," Melissa said. Tia groaned inwardly. Every so often Melissa would start fighting with Tia making her feel like
they were still in their high school war. Besides Tia knew Melissa used more mascara then she did she was wearing it right now. "Well thanks anyway," Tia said. "So it'll be great to see Jessica" Melissa cooed. Tia rolled her eyes. Jessica was her friend not Melissa's. Tia grabbed a few cosmetics and left the bathroom. Maybe Melissa hadn't changed but one thing for sure Melissa was in full bitch mode.
