Disclaimer: What do you think?
A/N: Geez-I didn't realize how much I can make people hate Caleb. Sure he's a jerk, sure he's trying to rip our couple apart, but he's just a misunderstood bat (HAHA-Whatever.) Anyways, everyone enjoy this chapter. You guys are the best. Until next time-PCGirl.

"Ricky?" yelled Casey when she opened the door. He walked in and she ran and held him, "Oh baby. You are ok, right? I'd never done that before, and was worried it wouldn't work--," she said talking a mile a minute.
"What wouldn't work? Why'd you do that?" he said, wanting some answers.
"As I was coming down to meet you Caleb came by. He wanted to know where Rafe and Alison went, and when I wouldn't tell him he was about to come after you. He can't hurt me cause I'm still an angel, see? But you, I was so afraid he'd do something and I just snapped my fingers and hoped you were sent here."
"Yeah, I was. I couldn't get out of the apartment to find you. Why is Caleb so hung up on finding Rafe and Alison? He's been this way since they left for Australia."
"I can't tell you. You just have to trust me-it'll all come out soon enough."
-------
Reese stared out the window as they were almost finished crossing the Atlantic, "You know, it makes sense now."
"What does?" asked Rafe, who had found a deck of playing cards, and was now playing his tenth game of solitaire.
"I tried to bite her before," she said looking over at Alison, who was asleep along with Elizabeth.
"Yeah, I walked in on you," he said looking up at her. "I thought that it was because of me coming in that stopped you, but it wasn't, huh?"
"I guess not. I always wanted to know who my father was, and I was hoping that somehow he'd be this great guy. Maybe he didn't even know I existed, and would be thrilled to find out I did, but the way she was talking earlier he knew about me."
"Yeah, I think he did. Why he chose Elizabeth over your mom though, well that can be answered when we see him. You know what's sad, my father died before I was born and he wanted to help raise me so bad," said Rafe thinking back to when he found out that Ed was his father.
"And here is this guy, rich as anything, who knows he has two daughters. Does he want any part of their life? No, not really-he cares more about his friends and his money."
"Interesting how life works out," he said going back to the solitaire game.
---------
Caleb sat on the couch with a drink in his hand. When he had gone down to find Ricky he was gone, and then Casey had fled also. She must have done something to make him disappear, and when he came back home Olivia had left. Who knows where she went to. He had been so preoccupied with finding a way to destroy Rafe that he hadn't paid any attention to her. He looked up and saw her walking in, "Olivia," he said with a smile.
"Where were you earlier? I went all around this town trying to find you," she said sitting down next to him.
"I had to go for a walk and clear my head."
"You've been doing that a lot lately."
"Yeah, well-I've got a lot on my mind right now, sweetheart. But that'll all change soon enough."
"What do you have planned? Can't you at least tell me that much?" she said as he just looked at her in silence.
-------
"Iris, uhm, hi," said Chris as he picked back up the groceries. "Elizabeth said you left your purse, I'll go get it for you."
"Don't go out of your way for me," she hollered as he ran back into the sewing area. Where was that stupid purse? Was she just playing with his head? Then he saw it, grabbing it he ran back out and handed it to her, "Oh, thanks," she said sadly.
"Well, Iris-I don't mean to be rude, but I've got to go," he said shoving her out the door and locking it behind him. He leaned against the door with his eyes closed, "Eve, I know you are watching me-and that was NOT funny!" he shouted.
---------
"Do we even know if he's here now?" asked Alison as they walked up to the door.
"No, but we're about to find out," said Reese as she knocked on the door. She waited a moment, and then her mother opened the door, "Hi sweetie. Who are these people?"
Elizabeth pushed her way to the front, "Hi, I'm Elizabeth Barrington. Malcolm Barrington's wife," she said.
"Oh, well please do come in," said Deborah, leading the way. She had heard of Malcolm's wife, and was curious as to how she found him.
"Hello, dear," said Elizabeth in a sarcastic tone as she walked into the living room and saw him sitting on the couch, alive as ever.
"Elizabeth," he said trying not to give a shocked expression. "How have you been?" as he got up and went to give her a hug. But instead, he got a slap straight across the face, which caused Rafe to hold in a snicker. This man had abandoned his wife a year ago, and she was going to let him know how she felt about him. "Don't you dare ask me how I've been. You left me. Did you know the police thought I had killed you? And all this time you've been here."
Rafe leaned over to Alison, "I'm going to go back to the hotel room. I'll see you in a bit," he said giving her a kiss, and then quietly slipping out.
"Here, let's sit down," he said pointing to the couch. "Who are these lovely ladies?" he asked completely unaware of them being his daughters.
"You don't even recognize me?" said Alison as tears started to well up in her eyes. People say that when you are pregnant you get more emotional-and they are right. "I'm your daughter, then one you ignored for twenty two years. And this, this is your other daughter-Reese Black."
"Alison? I can't believe it's you," he said walking over and looking at her better. "You've grown up to be such a beautiful lady."
"Too bad you weren't there to see it happen."
Elizabeth saw where this was going, and decided it might be better to intervene, "Hey. You know what, Alison is very tired. She just got back from her honeymoon. So, why don't we go back to the hotel, and we'll come see you tomorrow? Reese, are you going to come with us?"
"No, I think I'll stay here tonight."
"Alright, see you then sweetie," he said trying to give her a hug, but she wouldn't let him.
"Don't sweetie me," she said walking to the door, with Elizabeth behind her.
------
"Alright, let's see what we need?" said Frank as he began to go through the groceries they had bought.
"Grandma Mary sure was happy to see me," smiled Neil.
"Yeah, you brightened up her day a lot, and mine too. So what is your mom up to now anyways? What was so important she just let you come all the way back here by yourself?"
"She's been hanging out with this guy, and I guess he finally told her to pick one-me or him. So she packed up this bag, and gave me a ticket to come live with you."
"Do you have a phone number where I can call her?" he said, thinking it was time he gave her a piece of his mind.
------
"I can't believe he didn't recognize me," she said as they walked up to the hotel entrance. "I mean even you recognized me when Rafe brought you by the house that evening."
"I'm so glad I went with him, and got to meet him before he proposed to you. And I'm so glad I'm in your life again."
"Me too Mom," she said as they got to the entrance and had to stop as a lady walked out.
"Elizabeth? Elizabeth Tripp?" asked the woman when she saw her standing there.
Alison saw a look of surprise on her mother's face, "I'm sorry, you must have the wrong woman," she said then walking in the building. "Alright, sweetie. I'll see you in the morning, get some sleep-ok?"
"Goodnight mom," she said going up the elevator by herself. Walking into the room she saw purple pajamas already laid out on the bed, "What's this?" she asked looking at Rafe.
"Oh, I figured you'd be tired so I found your favorite pajama's to sleep in tonight," he said giving her a kiss and going to the bathroom.
"You are so thoughtful," she said as she began to change. "Something weird happened downstairs though."
"Yeah? What was that?"
"This woman saw my mother, and asked if she was Elizabeth Tripp. She said she wasn't, but when she saw the woman she got this look of shock on her face. Almost as if she really did know who that woman was."
"Well, is that your mom's maiden name?"
"I don't know. I've never asked her," she said getting under the covers.
"Well, we all have skeletons in our closets. Maybe this is one of Elizabeth's," he said walking back in. He looked and saw she was already sleeping. He walked over to his side of the bed, and got in next to her, holding her tight.
