Disclaimer- I do not own the characters of Jesse Travis, Mark Sloan, Amanda
Bentley, Steve Sloan, or any other character that may appear on the CBS
television series, Diagnosis Murder. Teresa Chingas is a character created
by Lee Goldberg of his Diagnosis Murder books, which I highly recommend.
Kaitlin Everling, Jenny Everling, and Frank Krumble were made up entirely
by me. Also, because I have only been in L.A. for two layovers in LAX, I
have no clue whether or not there is a restaurant in Malibu called
Kramer's. I just needed a name, and Seinfeld happened to be on.
Back From The Past
Chapter 4- Mark's Happy Family
"Just a minute," Jesse mumbled, stumbling out of his bed. He occasionally thought about disabling the doorbell, because it woke him up too often. He put on a robe, and answered the door. Kaitlin was there.
"Hi, Jesse, I'm sorry if I woke you up. I need to talk, and it's personal. May I come in? I won't keep you long," she said. Jesse let her in, and poured her some coffee. As they sat at his counter, sipping coffee, Kaitlin began to speak.
"Jesse, I think that given all the things that have happened lately, I just don't think I'm ready for a relationship like this."
"Is this because of your father?" Jesse asked with a smile.
"No, this has nothing to do with my dad. This is me. Besides, I saw how you were looking at my aunt. Dr. Sloan told me that you were really close to her once."
"That was a while ago," Jesse retorted.
"Maybe it was something that is worth reviving," Kaitlin argued. 'Jesse, you will always have a special place in my heart. You brought me to my family, even if neither of us knew it."
Mark Sloan stood with Amanda in the hospital lobby, filling her in on all the happenings of the day before, when Steve walked down the hall with his fiancé on one side, and his daughter on the other. Behind them, Jesse and Susan were reminiscing about the Sweeny bombings and the tragedies that occurred each time they tried to take a trip to Carmel. Mark looked around the circle of people, and every one of them was smiling. And that was just the way he liked it.
