A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to Mrs. Nikki Slater for being the first to review to my last chapter. I would also like to give special thanks to Anywien and Mrs. Nikki Slater for being my faithful reviewers to this story.

I want to say that the final decision for this story will be mine and I can do whatever I want. Those questions were for me to know what my readers want to have happen, not necessarily will happen.

Mrs. Nikki Slater: Thanks for the ideas, but I'm not even sure if I'm going to have a "happy ending" or not. I might not want one.

Lunetta-Chan: Thanks for responding.

Paulie Puddin' Pie: Thanks for the review, but as I said, there won't definetly be a happy ending.

LlamaDuck: Yes, a lot of people are hopeless romantics, me included, but I'm also a sucker for dramatic endings.

Smiley0925: Well, thanks for your opinions and I'll take them into consideration.

iluvmybeagle: I'm not letting you choose. In the end, I'm the one writing and I make the final decisions. Sometimes, I have something planned out and go a completely different way. Sometimes, I surprise myself.

monkeyAml: Thanks so much for the review.

Anywien: Thanks for responding. I'll take what you said into consideration.

Liz: Thanks for reviewing and the ideas.

Ria le Fay: Thank you for answering the questions and reviewing.

CeeCeeCaffeine: Yes, I love your reviews. And yes, I'm very funny. And if I'm a fork, you have to be a spatula.

maliaphire: The first three sentences of your review made absolutely no sense. Quote: you should be flattered that someone made their own version of it. its fanfiction, thats what fanfiction is-your own version or follow on from someone else's: Unquote. What the hell were you talking about, I should be flattered. I had my friend read your review and even she didn't understand it.

1800iRock: Thanks for the review. I appreciate it.

Golden Angel: I updated, you should be happy now.

Living2Love: Thanks for responding.

Realizations

Someday

"Come in, come in." She ushered us into her living room and onto the couches there. "Sit, I'll go get Gary." She went through the door that goes into the kitchen. My guess would be that Gary was working in the garage.

"Mom, who is she?"

"Your grandmother." I took a look at her face and noticed how interested she was in all this.

"So, that means that she's your mom?"

I shook my head, "No, she's your father's mother. And before you ask, yes, I do call her Mom. She was more of a mother to me than my own mother."

She seemed to be contemplating the things I just told her. I stared at her and for the millionth time in her life, I tried to see what she got from Rob. She had his eyes and his nose. The eyes that were unreadable at most times. His height was a give in. When I was her age, I was still under five feet. Also, her smile was so like her fathers'. She had a smile that could brighten everything in the room and make me happy when I was feeling down. From me, she got her face and her hair. Of course, she kept hers longer than I kept mine, but it was still the same color and everything. She also got her attitude from me. My little Kat doesn't mind beating up football players and getting in trouble. I'm lucky that it hasn't been anything really bad yet.

Mom and Gary came through the door a few seconds later. I stood up, good manners, I know. I saw Kat stand up out of the corner of my eye, although I'm pretty sure that it was just curiosity instead of manners. Gary came right over to me and gave me a hug, "It's been awhile Jessie. We sure have missed you."

"I've missed you guys too. Way too much."

Mom looked over at Kat and said, "Oh, is this Kat? You're so grown up. And you're so pretty."

She held out her hand awkwardly and said, "It's very nice to meet you…"

Mom looked a little hurt, "Jessie…"

I sighed and walked over to stand in front of Kat, "I know you've never met them before, but they're awesome people and you really should give them a shot. Can you do that for me?"

She nodded and whispered, "What am I supposed to call them?"

Mom heard and gave her a big hug, "You can call us Grammy and Granppy. Is that okay?"

She gave us one of her dazzling smiles and said, "That's perfect."

Gary gave Kat a small hug, or at least small compared to Moms' and said, "Jessie girl, your daughter looks a lot like her father now that she's all grown up. I remember when you were two. You looked so much like your mother."

I nodded and said, "That's the one thing I notice every day of my life."

We all sat down. I sat in the big comfy recliner chair and Kat, Mom, and Gary sat on the couch with Kat squished between the both of them. Mom asked first, "So, what are you doing here Jessie?"

I looked away. I couldn't look at her when I said this. I looked out the window at the empty road there. "Kat wanted to meet her father."

They were both shocked. Mom looked from Kat to me, and back again. "Well, that's not the reason I had envisioned you coming back for."

I nodded and said, "How is he?"

She paused for a minute and was even hesitant to answer. That's never a good sign. "He's…alright." She wasn't going to open up any more than that. I knew it.

I looked at Gary to see if he would shed any light on the subject, but his face was an expressionless mask. They're hiding something from me; I know it.

Mom changed the subject, "Have you seen your parents yet Jessie?"

I shook my head vigorously and said, "No, and I'm not planning to." Kat looked a little confused. She really didn't know what happened between my parents and me to make me not want to see them even. I wasn't going to tell her and I'm pretty sure that she wasn't going to ask. At some point, Kat was going to want to meet them and when that time came, her father could introduce them. Either him or his parents could do it.

She looked a little sad, but her expression changed in a second when she said, "Well, you can at least come and see the fireworks tonight."

That was different. We had never really had fireworks here before. "What fireworks?"

She sighed and said, "You don't know, do you? When you left…everyone in the town sort of came together. After a few months, there was no difference between the Grits and the Townies as they were called. You brought this town together when you left Jessie."

This is seriously a day for shocks. I can't count the number of times that I've been shocked today. I mean, I brought the town together. Me. The person who didn't care about the town differences when it mattered to the town most. I don't know if I like the idea that I ended up changing so many things when I left. I was the one who dated a Grit. I didn't care what he was. And now, I changed the town to see that way too. But, how is that possible? I mean, I left. I wasn't even there to change the town. But if Mom said I did, then I guess I have to believe her…

"Do you want to go sweetie?" I asked Kat. I didn't really want to go knowing that practically all the town would be there. But if Kat wanted to go, then I would do it for her.

She nodded vigorously and said, "That would be awesome."

Gary clapped his hands once and jumped to his feet saying, "Great! Now let's have some dinner before we go."

I started to stand up slowly while everyone else was already halfway to the kitchen door. "Wait. What are you guys not telling me about Rob?"

Mom walked over to me slowly. Or at least, I though she was walking over to me. She actually walked around me and picked up a picture. I got a closer look at it and noticed that Rob was in it with a woman. It was a wedding picture. She handed the frame over to me. "He's married sweetie."

A.N.: So, how was that chapter for you guys? Now can you review for me? It would make me very happy.
