Steve walked out of the station. He got into his car and drove to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital he grabbed the roses and went inside. He took the elevator up to Kit's floor. He got out and went to Kit's room. When he walked in he saw Kit and Jimmy talking. He walked over to them and sat down at the edge of Kit's bed.
"Oh Steve these roses are beautiful." Kit said taking them from him.
Steve didn't say anything to her. He just looked down at the floor.
"Steve what's wrong?" Kit asked looking at him.
"You want me to leave?" Jimmy asked looking at Steve.
"No Jimmy you should hear this." Steve said looking at him.
"On my way here I got a call from Captain Newman to go to the station. He said they arrested one of the guys that was involve with shooting Katie. The other guy was brought in a couple of days ago with gun shot wounds. Anyway when I got there they told me who it was." Steve took a deep breath and then said,
"It was Brad Martin."
"Brad!" Kit said excitedly.
Steve shook his head.
"I couldn't believe it either."
"Isn't that the boy Katie really liked?" Jimmy asked.
"That's him." Steve said rubbing his face with his hand.
"What did Katie say?" Kit asked.
"She doesn't know. They were wearing ski masks. It seems that they were going to rob the place for drug money but Katie surprised them." Steve said getting up and walking to the window.
"Are you going to tell her?" Kit asked sighing.
"Not yet. I think I better wait until she comes home." Steve said turning to look at Kit.
"That bastard better not get away with it." Jimmy said angrily.
"Oh my god! Does MJ know?" Kit asked.
"No. No one knows except us. He'll find out the same way Katie finds out." Steve said to them.
"Good." Kit said breathing a sigh of relief.
Kit knows that if MJ finds out that Brad was involved he will personally kill Brad. Mark, Amanda and Jesse came in to see Kit.
"Hi. What's going on?" Amanda asked looking at everyone.
"Dad how is the guy that was brought in a couple of days ago?" Steve asked looking at his Dad.
"Not good Steve. I doubt he'll make it by morning." Mark said looking at him.
"Steve what's going on?" Amanda asked.
"That guy that Dad operated on was the one that pulled the trigger and shot Katie. The other guy that was involved was Brad Martin." Steve said looking at Amanda then at Mark.
"Brad Martin? Does Katie know?"
"No and neither does MJ." Kit said.
"Now I do." MJ said angrily.
Then MJ left. Steve quickly went after his son.
"MJ! Where are you going!"
MJ stopped in his tracks and went over to his Dad.
"Dad I want to tell Katie." MJ said looking at his Dad.
"No MJ. Not now." Steve said as they sat down.
"But Dad Katie needs to know." MJ said looking over at his Dad.
"MJ I know she needs to know but not at this time."
"When Dad! When do we tell her! My sister needs to know!" MJ said angrily.
"I want to tell her when we are all together. Katie and Mom are being released on Saturday." Steve said placing his hand on MJ's shoulder.
SATURDAY HAD FINALLY ARRIVED
Steve arrived at 11am to sign Kit and Katie out of the hospital. He was so happy that his beautiful wife and child are able to come home to him. He arrived in Kit's room to find her and Dr. Spencer doing arm exercises.
"Good. Steve you're just in time for me to show you what you need to help Kit with." Dr. Spencer smiled at him.
Steve walked over and kissed Kit hello. He noticed that her kiss back to him was casual and cold.
"Steve. You need to help Kit with her arm exercises twice a day." Dr. Spencer said looking at him.
Dr. Spencer demonstrated the exercise to Steve.
"The next thing you need to do is help her change her bandage. When you first see the incision it's not going to look good to you. But it is ok. The stitches have beodine on them. " Dr. Spencer said looking at Steve.
Dr. Spencer went over to Kit to show Steve what she was talking about. When Steve saw the incision Kit saw the look on his face and turned her head away from him and closed her eyes to prevent the tears from falling. After Dr. Spencer resealed the area Kit got up and went into the bathroom to get dressed. While she was dressing she started to cry.
"Kit is everything ok?" Steve asked.
"Yes. Please leave me alone." She said drying her eyes.
He sat down in the chair and then looked at Dr. Spencer.
"It's going to take her awhile to get use to this Steve. She needs you more now then ever before. Do not allow Katie to help her. Kit needs you. There's going to be rough days ahead for the both of you. Talk to her and let her know what's going on inside. Don't clam up. I had a patient who went through the same thing that Kit went through but worse and her husband didn't help her, look at her or talk to her. Eventually they divorced. It was sad. But she moved on with her life. I don't want the same thing to happen to you two." Dr. Spencer said looking at Steve.
Dr. Spencer then left. Kit finally came out of the bathroom. She put her things into her suitcase and tried to close it up. Steve got up and helped her.
"Thank you." She said softly not looking at him.
"Ready to go?" He asked taking her suitcase and helping her into her wheelchair.
"I guess." She said sitting down in the wheelchair.
Steve wheeled her out of the room and then down the hall where they met up with the rest of the family, Jesse and Amanda.
"I bet you're happy to be going home Kit." Jesse said looking at her.
"Yeah I guess." She said quietly not looking at anyone.
Jesse looked over at Steve and then at Mark. The elevator doors opened and the two women were wheeled in. When the doors closed Jesse looked at Mark and asked,
"Did I say something wrong?"
Mark shook his head 'no'.
"No Jess. This type of operation puts stress on a marriage. Unfortunately marriages end in divorce because of breast cancer." Amanda said looking at him.
"You're kidding right?" Jesse asked.
"She's not kidding Jesse." Mark said as they walked down the hall and into the doctor's lounge.
"I don't understand. Why would this kind of operation affect their marriage or any marriage?" Jesse asked getting coffee.
"Jesse what is the first thing a guy looks at when he meets a woman?" Amanda asked looking at him as he sat down.
"Her appearance." He said.
"Right. A man looks at a complete woman. She can be tall, skinny, fat, big chested, small chested. Dark hair, short hair and etc. Nothing is missing. When a woman goes for breast cancer operation part of her body is taken away permanently or temporarily. Some guys see this as an incomplete package and say; 'Hey I'm out of here'. Other guys stay and help their wives out and deal with it." Amanda said.
"Well I know Steve is not like that." Jesse said looking at Mark then at Amanda.
"We don't know that for sure. Tables can turn." Amanda said.
Mark looked at Amanda shaking his head. Jesse looked at them again and asked,
"Kit could leave him? Or any woman can leave her husband?"
"Right. It works two ways Jesse." Mark said.
"Deep down in my heart I know they won't leave each other. They have that special bond that nothing can break it. It might be put to the test but it will never break." Amanda said.
"Wow. I never knew that couples are put through this type of test." Jesse said.
"This and prostrate cancer is a test that puts couples under a lot of stress." Mark said getting up and getting another cup of coffee.
Steve helped Kit into the car while MJ and Kasey Lynn helped Katie in too.
"Katie how do you feel?" Kit asked.
"I'm ok. How are you doing Mom?"
"Tired. I can't wait to go home and lie down in my own bed." Kit said closing her eyes.
Steve reached over and touched her hand. Kit quickly pulled it away. Katie and MJ saw it and looked at each other with a puzzle look. When they arrived home Steve helped Kit out and walked her inside while MJ and Kasey Lynn helped Katie out.
"Did you see how Mom reacted when Dad touched her hand?" Katie asked.
"Yeah." MJ said looking at his sister.
When the kids walked into the house they heard their Mom arguing with their Dad.
"Steve I can do it. Please stop hanging around me!" Kit said angrily.
"I just want to make you comfortable Kit."
Kit sat down on the couch and the kids then joined her. Steve sat down on the small chair across them.
"Katie I have something to tell you and it's not going to be easy to take." Steve said looking at her.
MJ held Katie's hand. Katie took a deep breath and then said,
"I'm listening."
"Katie the two guys that came in to rob BBQ Bob's have been caught. Grandpa operated on the one who shot you but he might not make it. He was involved in a shooting. The other one is in jail. He went to your school." Steve said looking at her.
Katie looked at her Dad with a puzzled look and asked, "Who is it?"
"Brad Martin." He said.
"Brad Martin?" She could feel her whole body go numb. "He was involved with this? Why? What did I do to him?" Katie asked as her tears started to fall.
"Nothing Katie. You did nothing wrong." MJ said looking at his sister.
"Daddy are you sure?" Katie asked wiping her tears away.
"Yes angel girl I'm sure. I saw him and he told me everything." Steve said getting up and walking over to her.
"I trusted him. I liked him." Katie said looking at her Dad and then at her Mom.
"We know Katie. We know." Her Mom said putting her arm around her.
"How long will he go away for Dad?" MJ asked looking at his sister and then at his Dad.
"For a long time." Steve said looking at him.
"Good." MJ and Katie said in unison.
Kit then got up and went up stairs to lie down. While she was lying down there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in." She sighed.
Steve walked in closed the door and went over to her. Kit turned away from him.
"Kit you ok?" Steve asked looking at her.
"Yes! Just leave me alone!" Kit said angrily.
"Why are you angry at me? What did I do to you?" He asked angrily.
"Just go away! That's what you're going to do anyway!" She said sitting up and looking at him with an angry look.
"What? What are you talking about?" He asked looking at her.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Steve." She said getting out of bed and walking over to the window seat and sitting down.
He walked over to her and sat down and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Steve I saw the look on your face today when Dr. Spencer showed you the operation. So now that you saw it you can go and find yourself a completed woman! You don't need a 'freak' like me." Kit said crying.
He looked at her and said, "I don't care what you look like. I married you for you not for your breasts or hair or weight. I married you Kit because I love you." He then kissed her.
While he was kissing her she realized that she was wrong in thinking that Steve would leave her. He looked at her and said,
"So did I convince you that I would never leave you?"
"Yes you did." She smiled at him.
"I know another way that I can convince you." He smiled his devilish smile at her.
She looked at him and said, "That'll have to wait until I feel a lot better."
"I guess I have to wait." He sighed as he sat on the bed.
Kit looked at him and laughed and said, "The longer you wait the better it's going to be."
Steve just started laughing at her when she said that. Kit sat next to him on the bed and asked,
"Do you think we could all go away?"
"Sure why not. The kids are coming up to Spring Break in about a week. We could all go away by then."
They then got up and went downstairs to see how the kids are doing. MJ and Kasey Lynn were in the den playing Kasey Lynn's favorite video game while Katie was on a three-way call with Patty and Liz thumbing through one of the local college brochures.
"No I still don't want to go to college. I would love to pursue singing." Katie said to the girls.
"Katie why don't you major in music in college." Liz said to her.
"Yeah. Then you can also take management courses in college and be your own manager like Garth did." Patty said.
"Hmmm. Let me think about that idea. Look I have to go my parents just walked in. Talk to you guys later." Katie then hung up.
"Katie can we talk?" Kit asked looking at her.
"Sure." She said getting up and walking out of the den with her Mom.
MJ looked over at his sister leaving and asked his Dad, "Is Katie in trouble?"
"No. Mom just wants to have a talk with Katie." He smiled at his son.
MJ went back playing the video game with Kasey Lynn.
"What do you want to talk about Mom?" Katie asked as they sat in the kitchen.
"I just want to know how you feel." Kit said putting up water for tea.
"I feel great." Katie said.
Kit sat down next to her and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Mom if you are hinting at how I'm feeling about this whole situation about Brad I'm dealing with it." Katie was quiet for a while and then said as the tears started to flow, "Ok so I'm not fine with it. Mom I liked him a lot. We hung out like everyday. Why would he be involved with something like this?"
"Katie his cousin has a drug problem."
"But why go along with him? Not even sticking around to see if I was alive." Katie said looking at her Mom.
The phone then rang.
"Hello…Hi Dad…Yes he is. Hold on." Kit put down the phone and called Steve.
"Babe! Dad's on the phone."
Kit walked back over to the kitchen phone and heard Steve say 'he's got it.' She then hung up.
"Mom please don't tell Dad what I'm about to tell you just yet."
Kit sat down and asked, "Is it good news or bad news?"
Katie laughed and said, "To Dad it's the best news ever."
Katie was just about to tell her Mom when Steve came in. The look on his face was not good.
"Babe what's wrong?" Kit asked looking at him.
"Can you two come with me?"
The girls got up and followed Steve to the den. They sat down on the couch.
"MJ could you and Kasey Lynn turn that off." Steve said looking at them.
"Sure." MJ said signing to Kasey Lynn.
"I just got a call from Grandpa. The guy that shot Katie died about two hours ago. I then called Captain Newman to tell him and he said that Brad is on suicide watch. He tried to hang himself."
"Too bad he didn't succeed!" MJ spat out in anger.
"MJ! How could you say that?" Katie yelled at him running out of the room.
MJ went after her. He grabbed her, as she was just about to go up to her room and said,
"That bastard was involved in the shooting Katie! He didn't even stick around to see if you were ok! All Tony and Brad wanted was money for drugs! Can't you see that! If Brad liked you he wouldn't have been involved in this mess! You're MY sister! You want me to feel sorry for him! No! I will never, ever feel sorry for him! To me he's better off dead just like his cousin!"
Katie sat there listening to her brother yell. She's never in all her life heard him yell like that. Let alone swear. Steve wanted to go in and try to calm his son down but Kit shook her head 'no.'
"Let him get it out." Kit said pulling Steve back.
When MJ started to calm down he sat down on the stairs next to his sister and said, "If I ever lost you my life would be over."
Katie looked over at her brother and wiped away his tears and said, "You are my best friend in the whole wide world and I love you MJ."
They both hugged each other tight and cried some more. Then Katie wiped her eyes and said,
"You know MJ you have a mouth like a truck driver."
The two just started to laugh. Katie grabbed her brother's hand and pulled him off the stairs. They walked back into the den. Katie looked at everyone and said,
"I need to tell you guys a few things." Katie said taking a seat across from her family.
Everyone focused their attention on Katie. When she began speaking she went to sign and MJ told her that he'd do it.
"I would like to thank you all for being there for me. MJ thank you for saving my life twice. I will never forget it as long as I live. Mommy I'm so happy that you are home with us. Kasey Lynn thank you for being the best little sister that anyone could ever have." Katie then got up and walked over to her Dad and pulled him up off the couch.
"Daddy I know you and I have been 'butting' heads like forever and I'm sorry. Thank you for everything that you have done for me and will do for me. Now I have made my decision about college."
Steve sighed and said, "Look I'll support you with your decision about singing."
"Daddy could you let me speak." She smiled at him.
"Sure." He said looking at her.
"Daddy I've decided to go to college. I'm going to be a teacher. Not an ordinary teacher. I'm going to be a sign language teacher. That's what my major is going to be and I will minor in music. At least I will do the two things that I love the most." She said looking at her Dad.
Steve was so speechless that he just hugged her tightly. He couldn't believe that his two kids would be going to college. He looked at her with tears of joy and said,
"Thank you. Thank you very much angel girl. I love you." Steve said hugging her again.
"I love you too daddy." She then kissed him and hugged him.
SPRING BREAK FINALY ARRIVED
Katie, MJ, CJ, Dion, Liz and Patty went to BBQ Bobs for lunch. BBQ Bobs became a local hangout for the kids that went to Katie and MJ's school.
"Hail! Hail! The gang's all here!" Jesse said as the kids sat down at the counter.
"Hi Uncle Jesse." The kids smiled.
While they were all talking in came the new kid Randy Miles. Randy originally came from New York City. He was very showy and full of himself. Some girls liked him and the others like Katie, Liz and Patty disliked him. MJ, CJ and Dion thought he was a complete jerk. Randy liked Katie very much and tried his hardest to win her over.
"Hey Katie." Randy said walking over to her.
"Hi Randy." She said looking at him.
He then looked over and said looking at the others, "Hi."
Randy stood in between Katie and MJ, with his back to MJ.
"So Katie. Got any plans for today?" Randy asked looking at her and pushing her long blonde hair off her shoulders.
She looked at him and said, "Yes." Looking at her hair fall from his fingers. She looked back at him and said, "I'm having lunch with my friends."
"Why don't you hang out with me instead? You'll have a better time." Randy smiled at her.
"That's ok Randy. I prefer a six way conversation then one sided." Katie said looking at Randy.
The restaurant filled with laughter when they heard Katie tell Randy off. Randy looked at everyone with a red face, turned and walked out of the restaurant. There must have been twenty kids in the restaurant.
"Hey Uncle Jesse!" MJ called to him.
"Yeah." He said walking over to the kids.
"I would like to buy a round of sodas for everyone here." He said looking at his sister and his friends.
Everyone cheered and thanked him. Steve then walked in and asked,
"What's going on here?"
Katie and MJ just looked at each other and said in unison,
"Nothing much. Just treating some friends to soda."
"I see." He said looking around the restaurant.
Kristen and her friend Gail came in. Kristen walked up to MJ and said,
"Hi MJ."
Patty looked over and just cringed.
"Hi Kristen."
"Patty what's wrong?" Katie asked walking over to her.
"Nothing." She said glaring at Kristen and MJ.
Patty then walked into the bathroom with Katie and Liz following her.
"Patty why don't you say something to him." Liz said looking at her cousin.
"Like what? Don't go out with her go out with me instead. Are you nuts! He'll just laugh at me." Patty said looking at Liz.
"Can you two tell me what's going on?" Katie asked looking at them.
Liz walked over to the stalls and pushed open the doors to see if anyone was in them and then looked at Katie and said,
"Kristen has the 'hots' for your brother and so does Patty."
"Patty! Is this true?" Katie asked looking at her.
Patty smacked Liz in the arm and then looked down at the floor and mumbled, "Yes."
"Oh my god! That is so cool!" Katie smiled.
Patty looked at Katie and Liz and said, "Don't either one of you say a word to him! If you do I will never, ever talk to either one of you as long as I live."
Katie looked at her two best friends and said, "I promise."
"Me too." Liz said.
"You I trust Katie. Liz I'm not sure about." Patty said as they left the bathroom.
When the girls went back to the counter MJ, CJ and Dion moved to a table.
"MJ where did Dad go?" Katie asked looking at him.
"He went home. He said that a restaurant filled with a bunch of teenagers is too much to handle."
The whole table laughed.
The captain of the football team and a couple of the players along with the cheerleaders went up to MJ and Katie and thanked them for the round of free sodas.
"You're welcome." They said smiling.
"MJ."
He looked over at Dion.
"Kristen really likes you man. You going to ask her out?"
"No."
"Why not man? She really has the 'hots' for you." Dion laughed.
"Watch it Dion. Or else I'll tell Rachel that you want her back." MJ winked at him.
The whole table started to laugh when MJ came back at Dion about Rachel. Patty couldn't help but notice how much MJ looked a lot like his Dad when he smiled. She just wished that she had the courage to tell MJ how much she liked him. Liz just looked at her cousin and then at Katie. When they were all done eating the six friends got up and went to pay the bill when Linda the cashier said,
"The bill was paid for."
The kids looked at each other and then at Jesse. Jesse put up his hands and shook his head 'no.'
"Dad." The twins said.
They then left the restaurant and started to walk to the video store to rent some videos. The guys rented an action movie while the girls each picked out their favorite movies. Liz picked out "Johnny Dangerously", Katie picked out "Never Say Never Again" and Patty picked out "First Knight."
"So what did you girls get?" MJ asked them.
Liz and Katie told him what they got and Patty looked at MJ shyly and said,
"First Knight."
"First Knight? Isn't that about King Arthur?" MJ asked looking at Patty.
"Yes. Have you seen it?" She asked nervously.
"Long time ago. It was pretty good." He smiled at her.
"So it's worth renting?" Patty asked not looking at him while waiting her turn.
"Yeah if you like Sean Connery and Richard Gere." He said as she walked up to pay for her rental.
Patty pulled out of her pocketbook her wallet when all of the sudden her makeup, change and everything else fell to the floor. A couple of girls started to laugh at her. When MJ and the others turned around it was Kristen and her friend Gail. Liz and Katie went and helped Patty pick up her things. Patty thanked them and then ran out of the video store crying. Liz and Katie left their videos and ran outside after Patty.
"Patty what's wrong?" Liz asked looking at her.
"Oh nothing. I just made a complete 'ass' out of myself in there. That's all." She said sarcastically.
"So you dropped a few things big deal." Katie said to her.
Patty looked at her and said again sarcastically, "Yeah big deal! I dropped my makeup and change. Oh what else? Oh yeah my tampons!"
CJ and Dion came out and asked if Patty was ok.
"Yeah she's fine." Katie said to them.
"Well you girls owe us big time." CJ said to them.
"What do you mean?" Liz asked looking at him.
"We picked up your movies." Dion said looking at them.
"You didn't have to do that." Katie said.
"It's ok. Next time when I drop all my stuff out of my purse you ladies can pick up the tab." CJ laughed sitting next to Patty and nudging her to make her laugh.
"Where's MJ?" Katie asked.
"You don't want to know." Dion said shaking his head.
"Kristen I thought you were better than that. I guess I was wrong." MJ said looking at her.
"Oh come on MJ. It was pretty funny." Kristen said looking at him.
"I thought it was funny too." Gail laughed.
MJ paid for his video and Patty's then walked out. When Kristen and Gail came out of the video store they walked past Patty and laughed at her.
"Great! Just great! This is going to be all over school." Patty said.
"Patty don't worry about it. By the time Spring Break is over no one will remember this." Liz said trying to comfort her wounded cousin.
"Ok so who's ready for the trek home?" MJ asked everyone.
Everyone got up and started their walk home. By the time they got in Kit had ordered them pizza.
"Hi kids." Kit said looking at them.
"Hi Mrs. Sloan." Liz said smiling.
"Hi Aunt Kit." CJ and Dion said in unison.
"Hi Mommy! Where's Daddy?" Katie asked hugging her Mom.
"He took Kasey Lynn to pick up the pizza."
"Did you say pizza?" CJ said rubbing his stomach.
"God CJ! You act like you haven't eaten all day!" Katie said looking at him.
"I can't help it. I just had a burger and fries about almost two hours ago." He said looking at his watch.
With all this going on Patty just went into the living room to sit down. She just wished that the whole video store incident never happened. MJ then sat next to her.
"Sorry about what happened at the video store." He said gently pushing her with his shoulder.
"Thanks." She said not looking at him.
"Don't let Kristen and Gail bother you. They're both jerks." He said handing her, her video.
He then got up and left her alone. When he reached the doorway to the kitchen he turned around and looked at Patty sitting on the couch. Patty then looked over at him and gave him a smile and he in return smiled back at her. Two minutes later the kids went upstairs to wash up for dinner. The phone then rang.
"Hello? Oh Hi Amanda." Kit said.
"Are my two sons there?" Amanda asked.
"Yes they are. Do you want to talk to one of them?" Kit asked.
"No. Just tell them I'm on my way to pick them up. They know better than to hang out at your house. You are trying to rest." Amanda said sounding annoyed.
"Amanda don't worry about it. It's ok. I love having them here. By the way I ordered enough pizza for about twenty kids. Care to come over?" Kit asked.
"Kit you're suppose to be resting." Amanda said.
"I know. I know." Kit said.
"I'll be over in fifteen minutes." Amanda said calming down.
After Kit hung up the phone Steve and Kasey Lynn walked in with the pizzas and sodas.
"Hi honey." Steve said entering the kitchen.
"Hi babe." She said kissing him and then Kasey Lynn.
"Kasey Lynn. Go tell the kids that the pizza and sodas are here." Steve signed to her.
Kasey Lynn ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to Katie's room. She knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Liz said.
Out of the corner of her eye Kasey Lynn saw MJ sign to her. Kasey Lynn thanked him and then opened up Katie's door.
"What's up Kasey Lynn?" Katie signed to her.
"Pizza and soda." She signed back.
"Oh thank god!" Liz signed to Kasey Lynn.
Liz and Katie left. Kasey Lynn noticed that Patty didn't get up. She walked over to Patty who was sitting on the floor leaning up against Katie's bed and signed to her.
"I'm not hungry." Patty signed back to her.
"You sick?"
"No." She signed looking at Kasey Lynn.
"Want to talk about it? I'm a good listener." Kasey Lynn signed laughing.
"That was funny." Patty smiled.
"Thanks." Kasey Lynn then hugged Patty.
"It's embarrassing." Patty said to her.
"Say no more. I won't ask. By the way thanks again for allowing me to stay with you and Liz." Kasey Lynn signed to her.
"It was our pleasure." Patty signed and smiled at her.
While Patty and Kasey Lynn were signing MJ was standing outside Katie's door watching them. Patty then saw him standing there. She quickly got up and said,
"Hi."
Kasey Lynn turned around to see whom Patty was talking to.
"Squirt go downstairs and get your slice before CJ eats it all." MJ signed to her.
"Ok." She then left.
"You're not having pizza?" MJ asked looking at Patty.
"Not hungry." She said looking at him and then at the floor.
"Don't tell me you're still upset about the whole video store incident." MJ said lifting up her head.
When he touched her face Patty got all tingly inside.
"Kind of." She said looking at him.
"Look don't be embarrassed about it. These things happen." He said putting his arm around her and walking her out of Katie's room.
"Thanks MJ you made me feel a lot better." She said as they walked down the stairs.
When they got down to the bottom of the step Patty went to go into the kitchen when MJ grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to him. The next thing she knew MJ place his hands on her cheeks and kissed her on her lips. After they kissed they walked into the kitchen to get their pizza and soda. The doorbell then rang.
"I'll get it." Kit said getting up.
Kit went and answered the door. When she opened it up Amanda, Mark and Jesse walked in.
"Don't look at me. These two just showed up." Amanda said walking in.
"Sorry to bother you Kit. I'm just here checking up on you like a good father-in-law." Mark said kissing her hello.
"Thanks Dad." Kit smiled and kissed him back.
"I'm here because I saw Steve and Kasey Lynn coming out of the pizzeria." Jesse smiled walking past them and into the kitchen.
The three followed Jesse into the kitchen. When CJ and Dion looked up they were shocked to see their Mom standing there.
"Hey Mom!" CJ said getting up and kissing her.
Then Dion walked over and kissed her too.
"Don't you two start acting sweet and innocent. I told you two not to bother Kit." Amanda said looking at her two boys.
"Mom we're not bothering her. Aunt Kit ordered the pizza before we came here. Honest." Dion said looking at his mom.
"Besides I couldn't pass up pizza." CJ said smiling at his Mom.
Amanda just shook her head and sat down and grabbed a slice. The boys smiled and sat down at the table too.
"Thank you Kit and Steve." Amanda said looking sternly at her boys.
"It's our pleasure." Steve said laughing.
