Chapter 3:

Mark, Taylor, Mimi, Roger, and the kids slipped into the back row silently. They could clearly see Roger and Taylor's Mom in the front row sitting next to Michael and a young woman whose face they couldn't see. It nearly made Taylor sick to her stomach to hear the preacher talk about how Andrew Davis was "beloved by anyone who met him" and "will be missed by all who had the honor to know him." Luckily, Cara began to whimper, so Taylor took her to the bathroom to change her diaper.

While Taylor was changing Cara, she heard someone say from behind her, "Taylor? Taylor Davis is that you?" Taylor spun around, and found an old family friend, Chrissie.

"Hi Chrissie," she replied.

"'Hi Chrissie'? Come here you." Taylor gave Chrissie a friendly hug.

"It's uh, its Taylor Cohen now. I got married a little while ago." Chrissie tickled Cara's tummy.

"And you have this beautiful baby. I take it she's your only child." Taylor shook her head.

"No, Matthew's one. He's with Roger and my husband."

"Roger's here? He's probably one of the last people I expected to be here. Did he and Andrew finally come to terms with each other?" Taylor shook her head as she washed her hands. Cara cooed and giggled on the changing table.

"They didn't end on the best of terns, but they were talking in a civilized tone most of the time." Taylor picked up Cara and the diaper bag.

"At least they were talking." Chrissie sighed. "Just for the record, I'm sorry for you loss."

"Thanks Chrissie." Taylor left the bathroom, and let Chrissie do her own thing.

When Taylor got out to the church lobby, she found Mimi at the water fountain getting a drink.

"You okay Mimi?" she asked. Mimi wiped her mouth, and nodded.

"Yeah, AZT break. I came out here so my beeper wouldn't go off in the middle of church." Taylor nodded. "You doin' okay Tay?" Taylor shifted Cara from one arm to the other.

"I guess so. I actually feel relived in a way. I don't have to worry about him showing up and criticizing my lifestyle. But at the same time, I'm upset that we didn't make up in the end." Mimi looked deep into Taylor's green eyes; they were the same eyes as Roger's.

"You're lying to me, Taylor Cohen," she said after several seconds. "You're keeping something from me, and I intend on finding out what it is." Taylor shifted uncomfortably.

"We, uh, we should get back inside before Mark and Roger start to get worried," she said quickly before rushing back into the church. Sighing, Mimi followed after her.

After the church service, Roger and Taylor waited to see their Mom. Mimi and Mark took Matthew and Cara downstairs to get something to eat.

"Umm, hi Mom," Roger said. Bethany Willows spun around. She looked surprisingly upbeat for being at her ex-husband's funeral.

"Oh Roger," she breathed as she gave her son a hug. "Look at you, so thin!" Roger blushed. His mom would get along perfectly with Mark and Joanne. "Taylor! I'm so happy you're here!" Taylor gave her Mother a hug. When she looked over the older woman's shoulder, she saw one of the last people she ever expected to see again; Kate.

A/N: If you don't remember who Kate is, check out like the last paragraph or two of Hey Mister, She's My Sister, that's where she is. Told you I'd tie the first two stories together!
