Kevin sat down on the couch in Asa's library and sighed. He buried his head in his hands. Now they knew. They all knew the truth. Kelly would probably find a way to pin it on him, he'd probably go to jail. No matter what, his political career was dead, that was for sure. Dead. Just like his son. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Jess?" he was bewildered. Asa he expected, or Renee, maybe his mom, but not Jess.

"Kev, I'm so sorry," she said, sitting next to him. "I know how hard this is for you."

"Do you?" he snapped, momentarily forgetting about Megan.

"Yes," Jess exclaimed. "When Megan died I wanted to punch someone and scream and kill. I wanted justice. I wanted revenge."

"Yeah, well I'd love to do some of that to Kelly," Kevin told her.

"But it's not her fault. She didn't kill your son," Jessica stated.

"Maybe not," Kevin agreed. "But she didn't allow me to mourn for him. She replaced him with a baby I thought was mine. And then I thought he wasn't wanted, but I wanted him. I loved him. I still do. And she didn't even let me say goodbye. How can a person do that?"

"I don't know," Jess replied, shaking her head. "What Kelly did is despicable. But you can't seek revenge on her. When Megan died I tortured Dorian. I almost ran her down with my car for godsakes. But it didn't bring my little girl back. It only hurt me more. The only thing I could do, the only thing that heped, was being with my family. Let us be there for you Kevin. You don't have to do this alone." Kevin was quiet for awhile.

"I've missed you Jess," he finally said. "I had Christmas here, and you and mom and dad and Joey- it was so different."

"We've missed you too, Kev" Jess replied, smiling. "I watched the A Christmas Story marathon, and Natalie kept telling me it was ridiculous to watch it over and over. And she just didn't get it.

"Yeah, well she missed a lot," Kevin replied. "I watched it too."

"Mom used to get so mad at us," Jess laughed. "She thought it was the most ridiculous movie ever."

"Yeah well, she still brought us some hot chocolate anyway," Kevin said. Jessica stood up.

"How do you feel about old Christmas movies and hot chocolate now?" she asked. Kevin stood and smiled. They walked out of the library hand in hand.

Natalie banged on Dorian's door furiously. Her eyes were still filled with hate, and she had been standing out here for five minutes already. How long does it take someone to answer a door. Finally it started to open.

"How much will it be?" a small voice asked. Natalie looked down.

"Starr?" she asked incredulously. Starr looked up.

"You're not the pizza guy," she stated snottily.

"No, I'm not," Natalie replied.

"What are you doing here?" Starr asked.

"What are you doing here?" Natalie returned. "Shouldn't you be at home?"

"Mom's working and I like Aunt Dorian's tv better," Starr replied airily. "Now you answer my question."

"I'm here to kill your cousin Kelly," Natalie replied. Starr smiled deviously.

"I'll go get her," she said quickly. "Can I watch?"

"I don't care," Natalie replied. Starr stepped aside and let her in, and then ran up the stairs to get Kelly. Natalie walked into the living room, pacing back and forth.

"Natalie, this is a surprise," Kelly announced, walking into the room. "I never expected you to come visit me." Natalie turned around.

"Yeah well Kelly, this isn't exactly a social call," Natalie snapped.

"What's wrong?" Kelly asked, fear entering her voice. Natalie started pacing.

"What's wrong, she asks, "Nat laughed. "Well first, she gets her lousy, deceitful brother to kidnap a baby, and then she lies to my brother about it over and over and over again, and now she's playing the innocent victim. That's what's wrong Kelly. You're wrong. You're the most despicable person I've ever met. And believe me, I grew up with Roxie, in the seediest part of Atlantic City, I know some dirtbags, but you- you take the cake."

"I know I was wrong," Kelly started to explain. "I just loved Kevin so much and then I loved Ace so much and I couldn't bear to let either of them go."

"Save it," Natalie yelled. "If you really loved Kevin you would never have told him you slept with Todd. You never would have told him Ace was his. If you loved Ace you never would have stolen him!"

"He slept with Blair!" Kelly yelled.

"Oh, so that's your big defense?" Natalie laughed. "He cheated first? When really, you cheated first, in Texas? But really, what did Kevin expect? We are talking about the woman who was married when he got in volved with her."

"Yeah, and he slept with his brother's wife," Kelly snapped. "So don't pin this all on me. You, Natalie, know nothing about my history or Kevin's, or what he did to my cousin and her marriage so you should just go away! You're crazy! You're crazy with hate!"

Natalie snorted. "I don't think a Cramer has the right to call anyone crazy. But you're right. I do hate you. Not even for what you did to my brother, but for what you did to that little boy."

"I gave him a good home," Kelly exclaimed. "I loved him, and then I gave him back. I gave him back when I found his parents."

"No," Natalie replied. "You stopped looking when his real parents took him back. My god Kelly, do you know what it's like to be separated from your family? Do you? He could have brothers or sisters or a mother who loves him, a father who adores him. And you stole that from them and from him. You stole time that Ace will never, ever get back!"

"Are we still talking about Ace here Natalie?" Kelly asked. "Or are we talking about you." Natalie looked at her in disgust.

"You will pay for what you did," she declared. "Uncle Bo will see to that. And if he doesn't I will." Natalie stalked out of the room. Kelly sat down and cried.

"Bye Natalie!" Starr yelled from the top of the stairs. "Come again soon!"
