Sorry it's taken so long. I know that I have been having a lot of excuses, but I'm really trying. Summer doesn't like me. I had a computer crash and had to make up a bunch of work because of it, but I'm back now. If I missed any reviews I'm sorry, I usually use my email to response since its quicker than the review page on the story and I don't know if I lost any from the computer crash. Forgive me.

SECRETS & LIES

Remy had come downstairs since Anna had fallen asleep. He was still restless over the whole situation, but he didn't want to disturb her since Tante Mattie said that she needed her rest. But that's when he overheard Jean-Luc on the phone. It was very strange to hear him speak like he was over the phone, almost fearful.

"Oui, she be hurt, but she's alive. What 'bout da weddin'?"

"You sure, maybe you should see?"

"Oui, I know."

"Uh-huh."

"Pas de problem, so da weddin' still go forward den?"

"See you den." That was all he could pick up of the conversation, well from Jean-Luc's side of it anyway. He was a bit hurt about it all. He thought that his father was on his side. Why would he let him get married after what had just happened? There was no way in the world that he could still marry Belladonna now. How did this happen? He had to confront him.

"Pere?" Jean-Luc just looked at him blankly, still a little bit shaken from the phone call.

"Oui mon fils."

"What be happenin' wit da weddin'?" Jean-Luc just smiled and laid a hand on his son's shoulder.

"Dat's what I'm going to find out right now." Remy looked at him skeptically.

"So you goin' over to the Bourdeaux' right now?"

"Oui."

"Dat be crazy, Remy goin' wit ya."

"Non, ya got a femme ta take care of. I'll be fine. Got some of da men comin' wit me." As much as Remy didn't believe his father, he knew he was right. He needed to stay home. But his curiousity was getting to the better of him. He knew that Jean-Luc was holding something back, lying to him somehow. The phone call only added to his assumption of this. Remy went upstairs to change so that he could follow Jean-Luc and try to see what was really going on. But just as he was about to leave, he found Anna barely standing in the doorway. He ran over to her and helped her to the bed.

"What are you doin' up chere?"

"What are ya doin' dressed lahke that?" He turned away from her slightly.

"Goin' out." He told her plainly.

"Oh no ya not! Ah didn't nearly get killed so that ya could go out there an' let Julien finish the job he started." Remy just shook his head, hoping to forget the memory.

"Non, chere, Remy need ta go." She sat up a little bit and reached for his hand.

"What's goin' on Rem. Don't leave meh out in the cold lahke this. Ah deserve ta know." His eyes finally met hers, almost as if willing him to stay.

"Somethin' funny goin' on 'bout dis whole weddin' thing. Remy need ta find out what's goin' on." Anna slowly stood up but winced slightly in pain.

"If'n ya go, then Ah'm goin' with ya."

"You are in no condition chere."

"No, then stay here." He picked her up and brought her back to her room and laid her back down on her bed. Remy told her he would stay, but when he went to get her some water he took a couple of her pain pills that she normally took at night and dissolved them into the water. He just watched her slowly fall asleep. Then he headed out her window in the direction of the Bourdeaux home.
