As I've said before these characters don't belong to little ole me, but to someone else. Pleas R & R. Thanks again to Officer D for all her help.
" That's enough Brook" Jimmy said with a sad look on his face.
" Why are you always defending her? She's just a stupid slut who probably didn't even now who the father of that baby was."
" I said that's ENOUGH! I defend her because she's my friend and she hasn't done anything wrong. She's a good person and I know that she knew Michael's father."
" How do you know the name of her baby?"
He took a deep breath before answering " Brook I know my own sons name even if he died the same day he was born. You were always wondering why I go to the cemetery at least once a month, well I go to lay flowers on my son's grave."
" Why didn't you tell me that you've slept with her?"
" Because our relationship ended a couple years ago and its in the past."
" So now one of your old one night stands with a handy piece of ass qualifies as a relationship?"
" For the record Brook, Ty was never a piece of ass or a one night stand, I mean hell we were engaged to be married when we lost Michael." Jimmy yelled finally losing his temper.
While Jimmy and Brook were arguing Ty left the room and headed upstairs to her bunk. Their she laid down and broke down in heart felt sobs. What she hadn't realized when she snuck out is that D.K. had followed her. As he reached the top of the stairs he could here her crying so he walked over to her bunk slowly and sat don on the edge. He then scooted her over and held her in his arms so that her head was resting on his chest. Ty finally stopped crying after what seemed like hours, looking at his shirt and then into his eyes she said " Sorry that I got your shirt all wet."
" That's ok, you have every right to be upset." he said quietly into her hair, " Also you and Jimmy went through something that no parent should go through, so if crying helps go ahead I'm not going anywhere."
" Thanks D.K." Ty mumbled tiredly. D.K. held Ty for another 15min till she was fast asleep. He then carefully untangled himself from her and went back downstairs to join the others. Brook seemed to be long gone and the others were all gathered around the table, they all seemed to be deeply engrossed in their own thoughts. Kim and Alex both looked up and saw D.K. walk, together they asked in unison " How is she?" D.K. stood their for a minute before answering " I guess under the circumstances she's ok. This is something that's always going to be painful for both her and Jimmy, so all we can do is be there for them. Speaking of Jimmy where is he?"
" He said he need some time and space to think, so he went up on the roof." Kim replied.
" So is Ty coming down or do you think she might want some company?" Alex asked D.K.
" When I left her she'd cried herself to sleep, but I think she'd appreciate having her sister next to her when she wakes."
" Ok, well I'll go up then." Alex said standing up from the table.
As Alex walked out D.K. turned to Kim " So how is he holding up, you know him better than most people?"
" I don't know. I knew that he'd lost someone special a couple years ago, from what Joey would tell me, but whenever I asked him about it he would close up. I never could have imagined this though. I feel really bad for both of them, I mean yeah he's my jackass of an ex-husband but he's also become a good friend since we go divorced. Know Ty has also become my friend in the time that she's been here, and I hate seeing them both like this not knowing what to say or do. All I keep thinking is that what I would do if it had been me and I'd lost Joey."
Coming up behind her Bobby put his arms around Kim " Don't even think like that, what happened was the doing of a hire power."
" Ok you two, I'm gonna go check on Jimmy." With that said D.K. left the others in the kitchen and headed for the roof. Once he got their he found Jimmy sitting in one of the deck chairs overlooking the city.
" How is she D.K.?" Jimmy asked without even looking in D.K.'s direction
" She cried herself to sleep in my arms."
" Damn. Why did this have to come up? She didn't want everyone to know what happened to Michael."
" You still lover her don't you?"
" I never stopped loving her, I never would've married Brook had I known Ty would come back. Hell if we hadn't lost Michael she and I would be married know with a little boy on our hands when we com home from work."
" Look Jimmy, I can't say that I know or feel for you because I don't have any kids of my own, however I was there for you when it happened and I'm still here. I told Ty the same thing so if you need anything just call."
" Thanks D.K." Jimmy said getting up and giving D.K. a hug.
