Iluvgerardbutler: Yeah you reviewed! Thanks! I love the Bee and Eric part too…no matter how much I try to part them, they always come back to each other! (They're like magnets!) But thanks again for your reviews and here's the next chapter! I hope you like it!

I just got home from work, but yet I still am awake. I have no idea why! But here's the next chapter! So Enjoy the movie…no wait…I'm not at work anymore!

Lena woke up and felt around for the rag that was lying on her forehead. She took it off and sat up. "I had the worst nightmare Holly! I had a dream and guess who was in it…" Lena gazed over into the corner where a boy sat. "I'm sorry. Wait…you were in my nightmare." Holly, who had been standing in the kitchen, came running back into the living room. "Mom, you need to sit down. Here take this aspirin." Lena took the medicine and swallowed it with the water Holly had also given her. She sat down and looked over at the boy again. Stephen smiled, but kept his eyes diverted from Lena's. She was still out of focus. Holly sat down beside her mom and pulled her legs up onto the couch. "Mom, you fainted." "I see." Lena laughed. "But you still haven't told me who this is." She pointed her finger in Stephen's direction. "That's why you fainted mom…This is Stephen." Stephen now stood up and came to stand in front of Lena. Lena looked at his face, and into his dark eyes. He was the spitting image of the young Kostos…wait. Did she just think of Kostos? Holly saw the look of horror in her mom's face. "Are you ok mom?" Lena took another sip of the water and then took the bottle of aspirin off the table and took two more out. "I'm fine. I mean I will be in a few minutes…or maybe hours."

Stephen sat back down again in his chair. "Hello." "Hello to you too." Lena said as she gulped down the water. "Where's your dad? Where's Kostos?" She asked. Holly ran her fingers through her mother's tangled hair to straighten it out. "He thought it was best that he go back to his own house. Stephen stayed here with me." Lena nodded her head as she processed all of the information. "So I'm guessing you don't know the story." She said towards Stephen. "What makes you say that?" He questioned back. "Because Stephen," Lena stated. "What happened isn't something that one likes to tell a person…even if you are his son." "Would you like to know?" Holly asked him. Stephen nodded his head. "I think that I have a right to know." "Good. But I'm not going to be sorry for anything I say. You want the whole truth. You are going to get a lot of it from me." Lena said as a look of sorrow passed over her face.

Anna and Ella were going to go shopping in China Town for the day. Anna slipped on the pants and grabbed the nearest shirt she could find. Ella laughed. "You still manage to look awesome in a pair of gross and worn out jeans and a worn out soccer jersey. Is Zach going to be there or something?" "No. He and Sam are on some kind of white water rafting trip or something. They are missing Eric's practice and stuff too…lucky them. But it's also kind of good that they are going to be away for the next couple of days!" "Why? Are you already tired of him?" Ella jokingly asked. "Not in a million years Ells! No! I meant that you and I would get to spend some time together! Let's go! Mike has the day off…and that means that Lucas is on board. He's probably like some old fart or something. We can have fun teasing him." The girls both laughed as they ran out of the apartment and headed downstairs.

The security guard was talking to one of the drivers when he saw Anna coming. "Oh Ms. McBrian. This is Lucas." Anna turned around expecting to see some ugly old man, but what she got in return was the complete opposite. Lucas was very young. He looked to be in about his early twenties, with dark tan skin and wavy blond hair. She reached out her hand to shake his. "My name is Anna McBrian. And this is my friend Ella Walker." Ella smiled and shook hands with him. Lucas put his hat back on, but Anna reached out her hand to stop him. "Nonsense Lucas. You don't need to wear a hat. Mike never wears his…so…don't worry! I won't tell if you won't." Lucas took it off and held it in his hand. "Thanks! I wasn't going to say anything! Your dad called and said that your mom needs to see you at the location…so I told him that I would take you two down there first. Is that ok? I mean I know you two wanted to go some where else." "That's fine. Thanks Lucas." Anna explained to him. "Let's rock-n-roll babes!" She then said to Ella.

Ella 's dress got caught on the door as she was getting into the car. "Umm…Anna! My dress is kind of stuck in this door!" Suddenly, she felt her dress being tugged on. Ella turned around to see Lucas standing there trying to get her dress out. He got it out and opened the door wider for her to get in. "Thanks Lucas." Ella said shyly. "No problem." He said back to her.

Esperanza walked out onto the balcony with a cup of coffee Nicole had made for her. She took out her cell phone and dialed her dad. He would be up by now, running. He picked up on the second ring. "Hey…" He said confused. She laughed and almost dropped her cup. "Hey dad. Andy and I spent the night at Max and Nicole's house…don't worry…I spent the night with Nicole, and Andy just slept on the couch." Jack was still confused. "Wait…I thought you guys were home last night. Did you leave or something?" "Yeah dad. We did. But we'll be home in a while. I think Andy is in the kitchen making breakfast for us." "Ok honey. Love you." Jack said before she hung up on him.

Max saw Esperanza standing out on the balcony. The wind was blowing her hair and her clothes. She looked liked she could barely stand up. "Hey Esi." He said as he slipped out onto the porch. "Hey." Esperanza said with a smile on her face. He stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love this weather." Esperanza finished the coffee and put the cup on the ground beside her feet. "I love it too." She turned around and was facing Max now. She pulled his head down and kissed him. "I just talked to my dad." "And?" Max pleaded. "He was ok with it. I think I confused him though!"

Andy was in the kitchen looking for something besides eggs. He had just ruined every last one that had been left in the refrigerator. Nicole was sitting on the counter with her legs crossed. "You do know that we can just go down the road to the diner." Andy shut the refrigerator doors again and came to stand in front of her. "I do know that…but cooking your own is just more fun. Come on lets go get Max and Esi." Andy pulled her off of the counter and led her outside. Max turned around from tickling Esperanza. "Hey guys…diner?" Andy took off his apron and placed it back inside. "You know me too well Max…even though you really don't know me at all!" Max wrinkled his nose and led Esperanza past Andy and Nicole. "No Andy…I can just smell the smoke." Esperanza laughed as she hit her cousin in the arm. "Not a big deal Andy. Not a big deal. But no wonder grandma doesn't let you touch the stove at home!" "Haha." Andy jokingly said back to his cousin. "Haha."

Stephen sat back as he absorbed what he had just been told. "So my father was a sick and sorry bastard? I would have never guessed." Lena laughed at what she had just heard. "Yeah…well neither would have I! I guess you should be getting back though. So come on. Holly and I will walk you back." Holly stopped her mom. "You and I? Wait…is that such a good idea?" "Of course it is honey!" Lena laughed.

Kostos was sitting on the steps when he heard his son's voice, along with two other female voices. Lena and Holly. Kostos had to say that he was surprised that the two were with his son. He stood up. "Stephen. Lena and Holly." Holly waved, but Lena acted as if Kostos hadn't said anything. "So here's how it went." She started. "He wanted to know, so I told him…everything." "Well son, I guess you had a right to know." Kostos said to Stephen. "And when were you planning on telling me all of this?" Stephen asked. Kostos went red in the face and slammed his hand up against the wall. "Never. I was never going to tell you because it hurt me too much inside." "All of those pictures…the ones in your closet. They weren't of you and your cousin. That was Lena…" Stephen said accusingly to his dad. Kostos sat back down and the other three followed suit. He cleared his throat and looked down the row at Lena. "This is Lena Rodman…well she was a Kaligaris, Stephen. I loved her with everything that I had…" Holly looked over at Kostos. "You can shut up now. I don't think any of us want to hear it…especially those of us who happen to be the children of the one you are speaking about. Mom and dad have the best marriage. So don't do anything to screw it up. Please." Holly added the please at the end with extra emphasis. Lena put her hand over Holly's mouth. "Holly. Watch your mouth! How about this…you and Stephen meet us for dinner tonight…we'll meet you here at seven thirty." Lena said to Kostos. She didn't give either of them a chance to answer before she and Holly left.

Lena got back to the house and pulled out her lab top. "Hey Holly, I'm going to write Stephen. He's going to want to know about this. Call your dad on my phone. He wants to talk to you." Holly took the phone from her mom and walked outside, leaving Lena alone to write the email to Stephen.

Dear Stephen, Tell Amber that her painting will be ready in about a week or so. It's just so difficult! No matter how trained and professional I am, I can never manage to finish a piece for a client! But hers is almost complete. I should probably get to the real reason I am writing you! I told you about the whole fiasco with Holly and Alex, and everything that happened there. I came out to see Holly for the week, and to bring her back home. Alex says she's fine. But…I keep getting around it don't I! Holly was out swimming by herself earlier this morning and she ran into someone from both of our pasts. Yeah, Kostos. She handled it fairly well though. I don't know if you know this or not, but he has a son. He's about a year or two younger than Holly. And I'm going to make a lucky guess and say that he is your name sake. Yes his name is Stephen. Holly said she laughed hysterically when she heard that his name was Stephen. (He's the spitting image of his father…scary.) Very scary. I am still confused. Call me when you get this. I know you have a busy week, but I also know that you would take time out to spend on me…I am one of your best friends. Love you, and tell your kids that Lenny says hello.

Lena

P.S. Why am I not freaking out about this?

Before lunch Lena checked her email. Stephen had already written her back.

Hey Lena, I was asleep on my office couch when I heard this beeping noise coming from my computer. Apparently that's what it does when I have mail. I must say that I am surprised by what you wrote. Wow. I am speechless. So there is a 'sick and sorry bastard's son' walking around? I'm sorry…it's just that you have that phrase engraved inside my head, it just came out! (Not that I don't really mean it.) I'll tell you what Lenny. Robbins is taking a vacation for a couple of weeks. He's going to Fiji. I think that I need a vacation as well. I'm going to leave my assistants in charge of the gym for a few days. Make a bed for me and tell Holly, Because Uncle Phen is coming to town…and if you feel like it…go ahead and tell Kostos…I bet he'll throw a party. I tried calling your phone, and no one answered. I'll give you a ring when I land. I don't know what time that will be. But it is your duty, as 'one of my best friends' to come pick me up. JD and MJ say hello back…no I will not resort to calling my own children by their real names…it takes away all of their character. Love you too Lena. (You know I'm just joking…Jenny and Micah say hello…that better? I can feel your beady stare penetrating the screen as you read this.)

Stephen

P.S. You are not freaking out about it because you have had more than two decades to figure your life out…and you came to the conclusion…along time ago, that you didn't need Kostos in you life. I think we made that decision at about the same time, right? I'll see you when I see you then, Love.

It's almost one a.m. I am so tired now. It has taken me like an hour and a half to write this! Stephen One is back! Yay! He is the one, after which Stephen Two is named for! I love Stephen One! He's hot…ok even though he's like 45…and he's British! (He's from my first story!) Leannyhoodle…hope you liked it. RACHEL!
