"Well what a wonderful surprise," smiled Kevin as he opened the door to see Lucy and Christina standing there. "How are you doing sweetheart?" he said squatting down to her height as she whispered in his ear. "Yeah, I think Cindy made some for you right before she left. Why don't you go get one and then go to the play room? We'll be there in a few minutes," he smiled as he watched her run to the kitchen. "And do I even have to ask how you are?" he said looking at Lucy who had been silent since they came in.
She gave a huge sigh and looked up at him, "He left me Kevin—took Danny and left last night."
"Well, I'd say I'm sorry, but—you know I am sorry for you because I know you put everything into your relationships, Lucy. Can I ask what happened?"
"Well, I offered to go out to dinner last night and he said no—so then I mentioned the theatre and he said no to that. He said he didn't know what he wanted lately—so I asked which category I was in—he said he didn't know the answer to that either," she said as she finally began to cry.
It was Kevin's sigh this time because he confused on the next step, "Do you want some herbal tea or something to eat?"
"Yeah, but you know what I really need is sleep. I didn't sleep at all last night because I kept feeling the emptiness next to me, and kept waking up to start to go find him and tell him to come to bed but he wasn't there. He'll never be there again, Kevin."
"Ok, you go to the spare bedroom upstairs and I'm going to get you a cup of tea—you sleep as long as you want, I'll watch Christina, ok?"
"Ok," she said getting up and he pulled her into a hug, holding her tight.
------------
"Hello, Mr. Morley, what can I get you today?" asked Jasmine as she stood next to Caleb at the bar as he sat there drinking a cup of coffee.
"I—I need you to give Rafe something for me," he spoke under his breath and slipped her a piece of paper. "When are you going to be able to get off from here and take it over to the gym?"
"I'll get an early lunch, just for you, ok?" she smiled.
"Thanks. Make sure that Alison doesn't see it—ok? I don't want her or Olivia knowing what the plan is beforehand," he said getting off the chair and heading out the door.
"What was that all about?" asked Jack as he walked to where she stood.
"Oh, nothing really—just passing notes, that's all."
"Oh," he said uneasily.
"Hey, don't worry about Caleb—this isn't part of his nasty habit. This is the reason I came here, and am staying here for the time being, ok? I want to be as helpful as I can to them—they deserve happiness, and I want to make sure they get to keep it," she said giving him a quick kiss.
"I know, I just can't trust him—and I never will."

"I should have known Kevin always has this house near freezing," she said getting out of the bed again and going to the closet to get an extra blanket. She was surprised when she opened the door and saw all of Cindy's clothes hanging up in the closet.
"Here is your tea, Lucy," said Kevin as he walked into the room and saw her standing at the closet. "Do you need a blanket? They are in the closet down the hall now."
"Yeah—can I ask why all of Cindy's clothes are in here?" she said looking at him.
"You know how it is--women have more clothes than men and instead of moving my stuff around she put all of hers in here."
"Oh," she said turning and looking the bed and picking up one of the pillows. "This smells like a woman," said Lucy as her eyes got large and dropping the pillow went down the hall to his bedroom.
----------
"Hey Jasmine, what brings you home this early in the day?" asked Alison as she saw Jasmine walk into the Gym.
"I forgot something in the apartment. Is Rafe in a class right now?" she said, not seeing him around.
"Actually, he has a class in ten minutes—he just went upstairs for a minute."
"Well, let me get what I need and then I'll be going back to you work," she said going up the steps and meeting Rafe at the top of the landing, "Here," she said putting the note in his hand and letting him read it, "I've got something that's going to blow Myra out of the water. Meet me later at Josh's."
"Give me the note back," she whispered putting out her hand, "And do not tell Alison—his orders," she smiled at him.
"Thanks—I'll let you know what happens," he whispered back before heading down the stairs.
"Whatever it is—I hope it works," she said beginning to feel uneasy about her sister.
----------
"Lucy, what are you doing?" asked Kevin, now having put down the cup of tea and walking into his bedroom.
"I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this picture. Maybe you would like to explain this to me," she said holding up a pillow from his bed.
"It's a pillow," he said rubbing his face. "What's to explain?"
"Explain-to-me," she said taking a step towards him with each word, "Why your wife has never slept in the bed with you?"
"She's slept with me," he gagged out.
"Kevin—Doc," she said putting her hand on the side of his face, "When you lie the tips of your ears turn red. Did you know that?"
"No, I didn't," he said shaking his head.
"Well, they are about the same color as a big red juicy apple right now—so stop lying and tell me who Cindy really is, because I can bet money she's not your wife."
----------
"Ah, glad you could make it," said Caleb as he turned from the window and saw Rafe walking in. "Would you like a drink?"
"No thank you. So what is your plan?"
"Well, first let me ask how your family is doing—is everything going well with the pregnancy?"
"Its fine Caleb—cut the crap, what's up?"
Caleb just laughed and went to take a seat on the couch, "For my plan I can do most of the preliminary work, setting it up and all, but for the post- work I will need to make sure Alison's pregnancy is safe as her and Olivia will be doing most of the work."
"And what is my part?" said Rafe as he leaned forward in the chair towards Caleb.
"And Lucy—I'm even including the other slayer in my plan. You two get the easy part, all you have to do is die," he grinned.
Ok, I want ya'll to enjoy this chapter immensely too—Until next time—ya'll are the best—PCGirl.
