Dylan was rehearsing a new song when she saw someone familiar. She told the band to cool and jumped off stage

"Kathy " and they hugged each other

"Jess."

"It's…" started Dylan

"Sorry Dylan yes Elliot told me. You look great……you have your figure back." And admired Dylan

"Yeh well I was a bag of bones for a while but I started to eat right, worked out and yeh this is me." She gloated

They sat down and chatted until the subject of Elliot came up.

"Look Kathy we are never going to get on…..too much has happened."

"It's never too late for family, come for dinner tonight."

"We can't even be in the same room Kathy I don't think it's a good idea."

"I insist." Kathy spoke up

"But Elliot"

"Bugger Elliot….please the kids would love to see you."

"Yeh god how old is Maureen."

"15 and giving her father hell."

"good for her." Laughed Dylan

"and you haven't met Dickie, he is now 9 and a real terror." Kathy squeezed Dylan's hand "Please."

Dylan gave in and nodded

Elliot arrived home with his partner in tow. "Honey you got room for one more."

Kathy smiled "Hi Olivia yes now that makes 6.' She said a little nervously

Elliot frowned and Kathy continued, "Now before you get upset, Jess..... I mean Dylan is here."

"What." Grunted Elliot

"I asked her, she's up with Maureen so don't make a scene."

"Well thanks for the warning….' Scoffed Elliot

Olivia noticed the tension building again and didn't know where to go.

"I wish you had told me earlier Kathy."

"Why…..what's the big deal there is plenty to go around."

"It's not that….it just I don't think it's a good idea."

Kathy froze

"REALLY brother and why not."

Olivia jumped at the booming voice and faced it.

"Because I need time ." Elliot paused to think

"what to get used to having a sister again….or time to get used to me not depending on you anymore."

"Look Jess."

"It's Dylan" she corrected

"whatever" trivialised Elliot "You can't come waltzing in our lives and expect everything to be ok."

"I never expect things to be like they were, but a little support."

Elliot cut her off "support, christ you had my support both emotionally and financially for the last 10 years and."

"Yeh again remind me and everyone here how much of a screw up I am, but don't forget to tell them your part in it." She spat at him

"Leave it " and Elliot through this hands in the air

"Fuck you Elliot." Continued Dylan

"get out….get the hell out of my house.' He spat back

"Elliot please." Cries Kathy

"NOW" screams Elliot

Dylan storms out.
