A/N: Gracie-I love adding in the bits of Romanian that Caleb and Rafe
(he'll say it too-later on) say in my story. Melody-yeah, it does sound
very painful to have a roof fall on you, doesn't it? I'm sure he'll be
fine soon though. Nat-yeah, I thought it'd be funny for Rafe for once to
say something wasn't Caleb's fault. Stranger things have happened on our
show (can anyone say Rivvie?) Until next time-ya'll are going to love what
I have coming up-PCGirl.

"This place is amazing," said Livvie as she looked at the architecture of the bank they walked into it.
"Yeah, it was built before I was born. I always enjoyed coming here with my father when he had business to take care of," he said as he saw the bank member he wanted to speak with. "Come this way, Olivia," he said as he took her hand and led her to where they needed to be. "Hello, my name is Caleb Morley, and I need to deal with my family finances," he said to the lady in front of him.
"Welcome, Mr. Morley. My name is Karissa, now what can I do for you today?" she smiled as she looked at her screen and back to him.
Livvie practically got whip-lash when she heard the name, and looked to see Karissa sitting in front of her. This was the real Karissa, and she could tell it. Caleb wouldn't tell anyone what he had done, or where he had put the body, but swore that they wouldn't be bothered by Annette again. Livvie looked over at Caleb who was grinning at her, and then he went on with the transactions he had to fulfill.

Kevin opened the door and smiled as the blonde walked in, "Sorry I didn't get to come by earlier-my schedule was busy. I really haven't even had a chance to have lunch yet."
"It's ok, Cindy-I've been looking over some case files I brought with me on the plane trip."
"We never can get away from our work, can we?" she laughed as she sat down on the couch next to him. "So have you called your daughters yet?"
"No," he sighed.
----------
"So whose plan was that?" asked Livvie as they walked out of the bank and into the snow. She looked up and watched it fall around her, a smile appearing on her face.
"What plan?" asked Caleb as he led her to the car that was waiting for her.
"Finding out where the real Karissa was and meeting her. Was it your idea or Rafe's? Better yet, does Rafe know you were planning on doing that?" she said as he opened the door, and helped her in the car.
"It was both of our ideas really. I had planned on finding her when we got here, and he asked me to do it. When the plan went out of control I guess I got a little worried that Annette had found and killed the girl-and Rafe had the same thoughts," he said as he lowered the window and closed the door.
"You aren't coming home with me?" she asked, her smile fading.
"No, I've got a few more boring business transactions to make. I'll be home before the weather gets bad. Make sure you get some lunch from Delia though," he said giving her a kiss, and watching as the car drove off.
-----------
"Would you like to tell me why not? Last time you were talking about them so much, and then lately you seem to be, I don't know, withdrawing yourself from them."
"You know what the one bad thing about enjoying the presence of another shrink is?"
"Hmmm, they psycho-analyze your every move?" she laughed.
"Exactly."
"Well, what was it that Lucy wanted to tell you that was so important?"
"Oh, Christina's birth mother, Julie. When Julie gave us back our little girl she was dying from this incurable disease. Though we never heard anything, we all figured she had passed away. Well, she fought and overcame it-she's got a life in Chicago now."
"That's wonderful. So that's what Lucy wanted to tell you?"
"That and how to bring it up to Christina. But we've decided to wait until she's older," he said as he stood up and grabbed his jacket. "So where is the best place to eat in Houston?" he said as he smiled at Cindy.
-------
"Here you are," smiled Caleb as he walked into the kitchen and saw Livvie sitting at the counter finishing up a sandwich. "What did you have to eat?"
"Roast beef," she said, covering her mouth as she finished chewing the previous bite.
"Are you two becoming friends yet?" he said smiling at Delia.
"Yes, she's actually going to mail off a postcard I wrote to Rafe and Alison."
"Well, why don't we head up for a bit and get ready for dinner."
"Bye," said Livvie as she hopped off the stool she was sitting on and left with Caleb.
------------
"This is truly amazing," said Kevin as he finished eating his dinner.
"Well, they always say everything is better in Texas," she laughed.
"I think I can believe that now. Are there any plans made for after dinner though?"
"I think I may have some stuff at my place for a nice little night cap. Would you care to join me?"
"Sure, I think I can handle it," he said as he waved the waiter over for the check.
