Later that day

Miguel and Kay were walking on the wharf hand in hand when Kay hit with an idea, Hey, want to go see the company I own?"

"What?"

"My company! I own Mikhaila Web Design Inc. I want everyone to meet you. Did I tell you Ethan, Noah, and Jessica work there too, and we're staying in the apartment above?"

"Yes, no, no. I mean, I'd love to see where you work, and you never told me about your brothers and sisters working there, or that you guys are staying above the office."

"Well I hired Jessica and Ethan yesterday, before the whole brother thing, but I think it just makes things better for all of us. We're forced to deal with each other. Anyway, it's basically family owned and run. I'm the head honcho, cool huh? I write the checks and work on everything, keep them in line, hire new employees, you know boss stuff. Noah's our PR guy, which reminds me, he's still not coming back for a couple months, and I have to call him. Jessica is Griffin, my assistant's assistant, and Ethan is our lawyer. Otherwise there's Berg, Nikki, Brent, Dani, Den, Kye, and Sergio."

"Wow, well I'd love to see where you work baby."

Kay looked at him, eyebrow rose, "Baby huh? Well, you can call me that, if I can call you . . . um, hottie! And refer to you as my hottie with a body."

"So, you think I'm a hottie, baby?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her small waist.

"Oh yeah!" Kay wrapped her arms around his neck, "You're hotter then David Boreanez to me.And trust me that's saying something, that's not my personal view, because to me he is the hottest man ever created on the face of this earth. When his show, Angel, is on in my home, talking is not permitted. LOL! And much more swoon worthy." again, not truly my opinion

Then she kissed him.


20 minutes later

Kay and Miguel finally made it back to the office, with only a few stops for make out breaks. She opened the door calling out, "Hi everybody!"

They all replied, "Hi Dr. Nick!"

Miguel held her from behind, his arms once more wrapped around her waist, he whispered in her ear, "You sure have them well trained."

"Only when it comes to quoting the Simpsons'." She whispered back.

"Alright, who's the guy?" Dani demanded.

"This is my hottie with a body, Miguel."

"Oh my god, you two finally got together?" Theresa called out, coming out of Ethan's office, clothes askew, lipstick smudged. Ethan came out seconds later, shirt partially un-tucked, lipstick on and near his mouth.

Miguel gaped at his sister's appearance, "Um, what were you doing in there?"

"Last time anyone dared to look, they were trying to see who could stick their tongue further down the other's throat." Jessica announced, "And I never realized just how disturbing it is seeing a brother do that until today. Thank you Ethan."

"No problem Jess!" He replied, not even blushing.

Theresa had the decency to blush. But Ethan still wanted to know, "So, Miguel, what have you and my little sister been doing all day?"

Now it was Kay's turn to blush furiously.

Miguel, however called out, "Oh, this and that. Probably the same thing you were doing to my sister."

Kay and Theresa couldn't take their embarrassment anymore, and they escaped into Kay's office until their faces would stop being so red.

In the office they both smiled knowingly at each other.

"So, you and my baby brother finally got it on." Theresa commented.

"So you and my big brother did it all night." Kay said at the exact same time.

Both exclaimed, "How did you know!"

"You just confirmed it." Kay told her smiling.

While Theresa murmured in amazement, "I was just kidding!"

Kay held up her hands in surrender, "Sorry! We were 16, alone in his bedroom, he's hugging me, next thing I know, we've ripped off each other's clothes and doing something I know my father would kill me for." Kay spilled out, cringing.

"I know how that is." Theresa sympathized and sat down in a chair.

"They say it hurts less the more you do it."

"It sure seemed so last night."

Kay thought about it, then started furiously rubbing her eyes, "Oh, ewww, ewww! We cannot talk about this anymore. I just had a picture of my brother having sex in my mind. I so totally did not need that."

"I think we both agree on that." Theresa decided, shuddering at the thought of her brother having sex.

"Just one thing. Has Miguel ever . . ."

"Had sex with anyone else?"

Kay nodded her head.

"No, not that I know of. Not that I ask about my brothers sex life." Theresa had to choke out the word sex. It was a very disturbing topic, when it was about her brother.

xXx

Jessica turned to her brother and Miguel, "Alright, we all know you've been gettin' some, but here's is the big question. Have you bothered to break up with your current significant others yet?"

Miguel abruptly became very interested in the ceiling tiles. And for Ethan, the people walking by the front windows were just fascinating all of a sudden.

"Boys!" Jessica admonished, "Ethan, you march into your office and call Gwen right this minute. Miguel, as soon as school gets out, you go break up with Charity."

Ethan sheepishly went into his office.

Miguel swiftly felt very alone and vulnerable with none of his co-perpetrators with him anymore. He took one look around, and then ran to the office where Kay and Theresa had disappeared. He hurried in and shut the door behind him.

Kay and Theresa looked at him in surprise.

"You left me all alone out there."

"Where's Ethan?" Theresa asked getting up.

"In his office, calling Gwen."

Theresa froze in her tracks.

"No! No, no Theresa," Miguel hurriedly corrected himself, "He's calling her, to break up with her."

"Oh . . . good!" Theresa was DEEPLY relieved.

A few minutes later Ethan joined them, looking very harried. Theresa got up, and forced him to sit down, then began to massage his shoulders, "So, what did she say?"

"A lot of empty threats. Then when I told her I found out I wasn't a Crane, she just hung up."

"Good, then you are from this point on, 100 all mine." Theresa grinned, then kissed him passionately on the lips.

"Ewwwww! Brother/Sister kissage!" Kay and Miguel exclaimed, hiding their eyes.

Harmony PD

Sam sat at his desk around 11 am, his mind focused on Ivy. He finally gave up on trying to work and decided to take the rest of the day off, heading straight for her place.


Ivy's Beach House
15 minutes later

Ivy was looking at the sketches Theresa had left behind that morning when Sam walked in.

"Hello Ivy." He greeted her.

"Sam!" Ivy was surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"Keeping my promise… and I just needed to see you."

Ivy bit her lip, "Did you tell Ethan, about us?"

"I told him everything." Sam confirmed, "I think he was very astonished, to say the least."

"How is he? Is he ok?" Ivy questioned worriedly, wringing her hands.

"You mean he's not here?"

"No. He went into work this morning. I'm guessing before Theresa woke up, and she left around eight."

"I guess he went to see my daughters, since they work together . . . hold on, Theresa left here around eight? This morning!"

"Yes, she left Ethan's room looking very . . . cheerful. Now what were you saying about our son and you're daughters, they're working together!"

"Yeah, apparently my daughter Kay owns a business, a fairly successful one. With over ten employees." He told her proudly.

"What's it called?"

"Mikhaila Web Design Inc." Sam informed her.

"You're kidding! Poison Ivy is just about to finish negotiations with her company to put my line on the web! Your daughter is Mikhaila Bennett?"

"Yeah, that's my Kay, she always was a exceptional girl. And very good at keeping secrets. I didn't even know about the company until a couple days ago when we moved into the apartment above the office. She's my oldest daughter, but Grace and I too often over looked her once Charity came." Sam admitted.

"Isn't she in high school?" Ivy asked, she sensed the touchy subject that could come up unless she was careful.

"Yeah, but don't let that distract you. Most of her staff is between 18 and 26, and if they're doing so well, they must be good."

"Of course. I just had no idea she was so young."

"She grew up fast, too fast, because of Grace's ignoring. But Kay is strong. She'll be fine."

"I'm glad."

Sam realized they've been talking about their OLDER children the whole time, but that wasn't what he was there for, "So, how are you doing? Are you feeling ok?"

"Well, I'm better. And I wanted to thank you." Ivy told him.

"For what?"

"For believing me. And forgiving me. You have no idea just how much that meant to me. All these years, I've lived in fear. Fear that you'd find out, and hate me. No matter what my excuse was. The thought of you hating me would keep me up nights. But I always made sure Ethan had the best of everything. And I kept him far away from Julian's influence. I made sure values of truth, loyalty, honesty, love, respect, and earnest morals were taught to him. Ethan is the kindest, most caring, honest, trustworthy person you will ever meet. I wanted to raid a son you could be proud of. I wish I could have done as good a job as you did, but the fact he's your son can be lost on no one, if they actually took the time to think about it."

"Ivy, I am proud of him. You did a wonderful job raising him. Absolutely amazing. Any man would be damn proud to have such an amazing son. And to have you work so hard on instilling such values in their child is astounding. Thank you Ivy, you did a far better job then I could have. It's just one of the reason I love you so much."

"Y-y-you love me?" She questioned shocked.

"I could never stop. I haven't stopped loving you since we fell in love when we were 17. You are my heart, my soul, you are the reason I was put on this earth. When you left me, it felt as thought a piece of my heart was missing. When you and I made love, my heart felt full again. Because I knew, I knew you never stopped loving me like I love you. The happiest memories of my life are those times with you. And now that you're back, I can't let you ever get away from me again. I know we were meant to be together through all eternity. When we were 17, I saved up all my money, and took everything out of my savings account to buy you . . ." Sam pulls out a velvet box, "this just before you left all those years ago. Now I'm finally going to get to do what I meant to so long ago." Sam got down on one knee and opened the box, "Ivy Winthrop, will you marry me?"

The antique platinum ring was beautiful. It had a large diamond surrounded by small Peridots, and the ring had a vine of ivy engraved on the band.

"Oh my God Sam, it's beautiful!" Ivy gasped, then realized what he asked, "You want to marry me?"

"More then anything in the world."

"Oh Sam . . ." Ivy sighed, then held out her hand, trembling, "Well, what are you waiting for? I've been waiting for you to do this since I first met you."

Sam slipped the ring on her left ring finger, then he kissed her. The kiss grew more passionate, so they decided to take things upstairs.
