"My what?" He asked confused.
"Your son, the little boy who has your hair and your smile, the one that if I look to long my heart breaks because he reminds me of you" she said backing up not her legs bumping into the side of the couch.
"I have a son?" his voice was low, almost a whisper as he stared off into space, connecting all the dots as Keith had earlier.
"That's why you left" Veronica stated. They had totally forgotten that her and beaver were even in the room, Logan and Madison came into the room laughing at some dumb joke Logan must have cracked. Their smiles faded when the spotted Karen, Logan walked over to Veronica wrapping his arms around her waist as Madison tried to take Dick's arm, he jerked it away from her. She pouted moving over to the other couch watching the scene unfold.
"yeah my parents were forcing me to live with my grandparents in Minnesota…" she trailed off looking at the floor trying hard to keep the tears inside.
"And you didn't find it necessary to tell me" Dick's voice was dripped with anger and disappointment.
"Tell you what?" Madison asked in her mock-sweet tone sending a glare towards Karen. Madison had always hated Karen, she had possessed everything that Madison wanted including Dick. When Karen left Madison took her position as Queen, holding onto the man Karen left behind.
"I loved you; you were everything to me…. God I still love you" he said, ignoring Madison's question and look of shock and betrayal. Tears filling his eyes yet unlike Karen he let them fall. He didn't mean to let the last part slip out but all his emotions were kicked up, but it was what he felt.
"I left you a note in your locker, I skipped 5th period and went to our place at the beach. I waited for you for three hours. But you never came" she said her voice cracking.
"But I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I called some people and they told me that they were having a party. The man I loved would never ditch me for a party. But I went to check it out, I walked through the place asking people where you were, after a couple of drunk people started pointing to the guest rooms I got nervous….
But I held on to the little piece of hope that you had gotten to drunk before meeting me and were sleeping it off." She said looking at the ground again pulling in her courage to go on.
"I walked into the room and saw you on the bed….but something was different…..because you were moaning and moving… and there was someone underneath you…" she said turning toward the on-again-off-again blonde. "…you" she pointed.
"You…" she stated again finally breaking down holding her sides as she tried hard to calm herself. "But I am not a heartless bitch…I could have just left and not told you at all about the baby… but I sat in my car writing another letter… I then left it on the dash of you truck and left… god I felt like such an idiot waiting in that hotel room for you" she said looking at her shaking hands.
"That's insane" he said looking around in disbelief, "There was no note in my locker, I was there with both Madison and Pam they didn't say anything…I was upset that you had ditched me earlier and had maybe two beers. I don't even remember that night. I blacked out half way through the party…" He said looking over at Madison whose face was pale white; her eyes were filled with guilt and terror. He stalked over to her in a fit of rage.
"What did you do!" he screamed getting close to her face.
"I….I…." she stammered. "She wasn't good enough for you" she yelled getting up from her seat and backing up away from his fierce look.
"What?"
"She was never good enough for you, we all knew it you belonged with someone better" she said acting completely nonchalant.
Veronica stalked forward grabbing Madison's shoulder and pushing her back onto the couch.
"What did you do Madison?" Dick growled.
"Pam and I found the note in your locker, it said she that you needed to talk about something important, we thought she was breaking up with you" she said looking down at her perfectly manicured nails. "When I saw you at the party you looked so sad, I thought she had already done it…. I just wanted you to have some fun…"
Veronica nudged her again pushing her to continue. "Pam got some X from Sean…"
"You spiked my drink?" he asked feeling so betrayed and used, but stopped to think about the time he tried the same thing on her. But he was hurt and broken then this was not the same thing.
"When we were laying together afterward, it felt so right I just couldn't let anything come between us again." She said her voice steady as if she was making the most logical conclusions.
"And the note on my dash?" he asked not even able to look at her.
"I threw it out, I never read it I swear…I just saw it was from her and I well…" she said pleading him to look at her, but he wouldn't.
"Get out" he mumbled.
"What?" she asked.
"Get out of my Fucking house" he screamed.
She jumped from her seat grabbing her purse from the table and making her way out the door. Cat was crying so hard she could barely breathe. Dick sat next to her pulling her into his arms and rocked her back and forth. Logan and Veronica took that as their cue to leave Karen stopped them.
"Veronica Please wait" she said moving her head up from Dick's shoulder. "we need your help"
"What do you need?" she asked willing to do anything.
"Sam is missing, he was taken I don't know who but he is gone" she said looking at Dick hoping to get some help from him as well.
His eyes widened in shock and fear as he took in this new information. "Lets go get our son."
