Disclaimer: Alright everyone-I'm on my way to a wonderful wedding now, and
will be back sometime Monday. Try and not post a ton of chapters while I'm
gone (or you can Nat, Melody and I'll enjoy them when I get
back) Everyone have a great weekend, and remember that soul mates do
exist. (My friends that are getting married are truly soul mates) Until
next time-PC begins on Monday-PCGirl.

"Hey Frank," said Lucy with a smile as she opened the door for him. "Is everything ok with Neil? He's not sick, is he?"
"No, he's not sick, but everything is not ok. Is Ian in?"
"Uhm, no he's not. He'll be back soon though. What's wrong?"
"Courtney came by last night and took him. Lucy, I don't know what to do. After Karen died I never thought I could be happy again. Then Neil came, and everything looked better. I don't know what to do now. Do I fight her for custody?"
"Well, let's sit down, and wait for Ian to come in. I'm sure he'll know what to do," she said, hoping she was right.

Imani was picking up the mess she made in the hotel room the next morning. She was humming to herself, trying not to worry about what may have happened last night. Jamal should have been back earlier, but maybe he would be here soon. Her back was to the door when she heard the knob being turned and it made her jump. She turned around to see Jamal standing there and ran to his arms. "You're safe. I was so scared all night."
"There's nothing to worry about now though, I promise. So where do you want to go first?" he asked looking at her.
"I don't want to go anywhere first."
------
"Hey, what's going on?" said Ian as he walked in. He put Danny down who went running off to go find Christina.
"Courtney took Neil."
"She did what? That's not right. So what can we do to help?" he said asking Frank.
"I don't know. All I know is that without him in my life right now I'm right back to where I was without Karen-alone and miserable."
"Do we have anything to use to keep Neil with you? Has he said anything major?"
"Well, he said today that he's tired of being jumped from one school to the next. Can we use that?"
"I'm going to find out," said Ian as he grabbed the phone and dialing. "Hey Kate, its Ian Thornhart."
------
"Ok, then what do you want to do first?"
"Call Medea," she said as she went to get her cell phone. "I have to tell her that everything is over," as she dialed the phone. "Medea!" she shouted into the phone with happiness.
"Imani, is everything ok?" asked the woman as she began to get ready for a new day.
"Everything is fine. Jamal here-he's so brave Medea-he killed Paul."
"I knew he could do it," she smiled as she saw a woman standing outside the Café looking confused. "Will you be visiting me soon then?"
"Yes, I promise I will. We're going to discuss what we want to do, and then I'll come for a visit."
"Well, that's good. Listen, I've got someone outside that looks lost. Call me when you know what your plans are. And give that man of yours a big kiss for me."
"Alright, Medea," laughed Imani.
-------
"Mommy?" said Christina as Lucy tried to get her daughter to take a nap. "Why is Frank so sad?"
"Well, Pumpkinhead-Neil's mommy came and wants Neil to live with her again. Frank is sad because he's going to miss Neil."
"Why can't they be nice like you and Daddy?"
"I don't know Pumpkinhead, I don't know."
-------
"Thank you so much for the meal, I can't believe I got so lost," said the woman who now sat in the Café.
"It's no problem," said Medea as she took the empty cup back to the kitchen. She looked through the window, there was something not right about this woman, but maybe she was just imagining it. She filled the cup up again, and then came back out. "So where were you headed too?"
"Montgomery. I've got some friends there to visit."
"Really? Well, I hope you find your way again. I think I forgot, but did you tell me what your name was."
"No, I didn't," she said wiping her mouth. "My name is Karissa."
