"The Claws are out"

Katherine pounded on Tanya's door frantically as her heart beat loudly in her ears. She had never felt so afraid in her entire life, not even when she'd told Collin about faking her pregnancy. Katherine began to bounce on the balls of her feet as she waited impatiently for her best friend to answer. She heard Tanya shouting commands to her four-year-old sons before the sound of something falling over and crashing could be heard. She then heard more yelling followed by the jiggling of the doorknob. Tanya looked frustrated but her frown disappeared at the sight of her friend.

"Katherine, what on earth are you doing here?"

"Uh, isn't it obvious?" Katherine said as she gestured to Neveah who was in her arms. "You called Rocky to tell him that Steve and his mom got a court order to see Neveah."

Tanya began to shift awkwardly on her feet. "Yeah, that is what he said when I got a hold of him. He sounded really mad Katherine. What are you going to do?"

"I'm not letting him take my daughter away from me. No one knows how much she truly means to me."

"Do you have a plan?" Tanya asked.

Katherine was prepared to speak but the sound of another crash reached both hers ad Tanya's ears. Tanya's face turned into a scowl as she held up a finger and turned around to head into the house. Katherine stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She heard Tanya saying something in a low whisper before she returned to the main hall.

"I'm so sorry about that." She apologized. "My sons were playing around before you showed up and they managed to break the door of my Nana's china cabinet."

Katherine gasped. "Oh Tanya, I'm so sorry."

"Aw, don't worry about it Kat. That old thing was falling apart anyways. It's on its last leg. Now back to you. What are you going to do about Steve's court order?"

"At this point, Steve has no idea that I know. He and his mom should be at Kimberly's house right now and if they are, they're going to realize that neither of us are there."

"Where's Kimberly?"

"At the bank getting money together. Collin froze all my bank accounts so I don't have the ability to purchase a ticket to my mom's place. Kimberly's agreed to give me a little money to get on a train and travel to my mother's house."

"Wow, that's awfully generous of her."

"Yeah…I know. Listen Tanya, I need to run back to Kimberly's and grab the rest of Neveah's things. Could you please look after her?"

"Of course I will Katherine. You go do what you need to do. I'll look after the little angel."

Katherine thanked Tanya repeatedly as she gently placed Neveah in her arms. Giving her daughter a quick kiss on the forehead, Katherine smiled before running outside.


Kimberly's House

Kimberly sat on the front steps of the porch with her chin in her hand as she stared out at the street looking for Tommy's cruiser. He'd sounded really urgent on the phone and that worried her. When she spied his cruiser turning the corner up the block, she stood to her feet and wrapped her arms around her torso. It was the middle of spring but it was still kind of chilly outside. She'd picked one heck of a day to wear a sundress.

Tommy's car skidded to a stop near the curb in front of the house before he quickly hopped out and ran up the stairs. He lifted Kimberly up into the air by her torso and spun her around as he laughed happily. Kimberly giggled at the gesture before he set her down on her feet.

"Tommy, this certainly isn't what I'd been expecting. What's going on?"

"Kimberly…we need to talk. Let's head inside."

Kimberly raised an eyebrow at his request but agreed and followed him into the house.

"Where's Jacob?" Tommy questioned as he tossed his keys onto the counter.

Kimberly pulled a chair out at the kitchen table and took a seat as she watched him cross the room to sit in front of her.

"At the zoo…" she said slowly as she watched the smile on his face grow. "Trini and Jason have had him since you left after work. Why?"

"Just wondering…Listen Kimberly, something happened at work and I really need to talk to you about it."

"Obviously…Tommy, the suspense is killing me. Will you please tell me what's going on?"

Tommy nodded as the wheels began turning in his head. How was he going to explain everything he'd been up to for the past couple of weeks? After taking a deep breath, he decided to bring forth some of his evidence.

"Kimberly…there's something you need to know about Grace."

Kimberly raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I'll bite." She said hesitantly, unsure of what she was about to hear.

"I got a phone call a few weeks ago when you, Jacob and I went to the café downtown. Don't you remember?"

"Yeah, that's the day we ran into Julia." Kimberly said as she recalled the day's events. "You sent me inside with Jake while you answered your phone."

Tommy nodded. "Kim…a man had gotten a hold of me and offered condolences on…Grace's death. The thing is…he had mentioned something about us not knowing the entire story about the day she was born."

Kimberly stared at Tommy as she tried to process the information. "What did he mean? There's nothing more to the story Tommy."

"You see, that's where you're wrong Kim."

Tommy held up a finger as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few sandwich bags. In one was a teething ring that looked unfamiliar to Kimberly. In another was Kimberly's toothbrush that had been missing since last week and in the final bag was Grace's pacifier.

"What on earth are you doing with these things?" Kimberly questioned as she looked them over.

"I had reason to believe that DNA evidence would be needed in this case I've been working on endlessly for the past couple of weeks." Tommy explained. "Kim…I got in touch with in old friend from the FBI and I discussed my phone call with the mysterious man. The information he obtained led me to the clinic where you gave birth to Grace. Do you remember your doctor's name?"

Kimberly nodded. "Yeah, Doctor Sun I believe."

Tommy nodded before pulling a file folder out of his jacket and opening it to reveal Doctor Sun's mug shot that had been taken down at the station. "Is this the man?"

Kimberly nodded. "Tommy, you're starting to worry me. What's going on?"

"Kimberly, Doctor Sun has been running an illegal baby broking industry for the past twelve years."

Tommy watched as Kimberly's mouth fell open in shock.

"He takes unwanted children off their birth mothers and sells them to customers as he performs an illegal adoption. Katherine was one of his customers."

"I had no idea. I mean, Katherine did say that she adopted Neveah from Julia but she never said anything about the adoption being illegal. I had no idea she even knew Doctor Sun."

Tommy tried to hide his smile as he prepared to tell Kimberly the anticipated news. "There's something else you don't know about Katherine and Doctor Sun." he said. "Kim…Katherine was at the clinic the night you were giving birth. In fact, she delivered Julia's baby under Doctor Sun's instruction and she brought the baby to the clinic to be examined. Kimberly…Katherine knew that you were pregnant with Collin's child."

Kimberly's eyes widened. "But…how, I don't understand. I never told anyone but Jason, Trini and Billy."

"I have yet to figure out how she found out about your pregnancy, but I do know this much…she was so angry that you were carrying the child of the man she loved and the she'd lost their only hope of being together when she miscarried. Kimberly…Grace…she wasn't your daughter."

"How can you say such a thing?" Kimberly shouted as she stood up from the table. "Grace was my little girl Tommy! I carried her for nine months! I felt her kick…I held her when she was born I-"

"Kimberly, the doctor took the baby away from you when she was born did he not?"

Kimberly stared at him as she tried to recall the events from that night. "Grace wasn't breathing and he took her back to get her lungs going."

"That's the thing Kimberly, it wasn't Grace he took back to that room. It was Neveah."

Kimberly turned to face Tommy as her eyes narrowed. "That's not possible Tommy."

"Kimberly, I got the entire confession from Doctor Sun on tape. Katherine delivered Julia's baby and brought her to Doctor Sun's clinic. She'd arrived just after he got your baby breathing again. Katherine then paid him to switch the babies so she could give Collin his biological daughter and give you Julia's. She then went on with her plan to pretend to give birth and here we are today."

"Tommy, stop it. This isn't something to joke about. My daughter…my precious baby girl is dead and gone. You were there with me!"

Kimberly had begun crying and pacing as Tommy watched from the table. He stood to his feet and placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her from moving around.

"If you don't believe me, would you believe DNA evidence?"

Kimberly's eyes widened before she turned to the table where the three plastic baggies lay. She saw Grace's pacifier, her toothbrush and the unfamiliar teething ring.

"I swiped the pacifier from the nursery after I got that phone call." Tommy explained. "I then took your toothbrush."

Kimberly stared at him in shock.

"I took them down to the DNA testing lab at the hospital and had them scanned. Kimberly…there was absolutely no biological match between yours and Grace's DNA."

"That's…not possible."

"There's more." Tommy said, holding up a finger to silence her. "Katherine came here last night and I raided the diaper bag she brought along with her before leaving for work this morning. I had a few tests run on my way over here after speaking with Doctor Sun. I didn't want to give you any false information and I had to make sure my thoughts were correct."

Tommy reached into his coat another time and pulled out a folded piece of paper. He handed it to Kimberly who took it hesitantly before opening it. Her eyes scanned over the page slowly before filling with another set of tears. Her hand went to her mouth as she choked back a sob.

"The DNA test results on the left half of the page are yours." Tommy explained. "And the left are Neveah's. Kimberly…what does the information at the bottom of the page say?"

Kimberly managed to laugh through her tears as she read the results. "The result of this DNA testing is that the two test subjects are biologically related."

Kimberly looked up at Tommy and smiled as he stared back at her with an even bigger smile.

"Neveah is my daughter…" Kimberly spoke. "How could I have not known? I'm a mother, I should've known."

"Kimberly, how could you have known? Katherine deprived you of the chance of raising your own daughter. For all you knew, Grace was your baby girl and just because it wasn't by blood, that doesn't change anything."

Kimberly nodded. "I have to see my baby. I need to see Neveah."

Tommy stared blankly at Kimberly. "Well, isn't she here with Katherine?"

Kimberly gasped at the realization of what had been happening. "Oh no…Tommy, Katherine went to run a few errands, that stupid arrogant little…anyway, Steve and his mom got a court order to see Neveah and Katherine needed to skip town. I agreed to pay for her ticket so she went to take care of a few things."

"You did what?" Tommy shouted.

"Look, at the time, I thought it was a good idea. I had no idea that psychopath had kidnapped my daughter! Look, she should be on her way now."

"Right. In the meantime, I'm going to make sure she didn't make any additional stops."

Kimberly nodded as Tommy walked over to give her a quick kiss goodbye. The good officer then bolted out the door towards his cruiser.

Kimberly sighed before frowning. Katherine was going to pay dearly for the pain she'd put her through. She'd been made a fool for the last time.


The Youth Center

Tommy jogged up the path of the Youth Center and quickly made his way inside. Just as he prepared to head for Ernie, he spied Julia sitting on top of the balance beam swinging her feet carelessly as she stared across the room. Tommy's heart immediately pained at the sight of the young girl who he now knew was Grace's mother. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to her.

"Hey there Julia." He said in greeting.

Julia turned to Tommy and forced a smile, but Tommy could see plainly that she'd been crying. "Hi Tommy. What are you doing here?"

"I'm finishing up some business for work." He admitted. "Can we talk for a second?"

Julia shrugged before hopping off the beam and following Tommy to a table. He pulled a chair out for her and waited for her to take a seat before pushing it in. He then took a seat across from her, folding his hands on the tabletop.

"I have some…very bad news to tell you and I'm not sure how you're going to take it."

"If this is about Steve and his mom getting that custody order for Neveah, I already know. The jerk stopped by a little while ago and broke the news to me."

Tommy sighed. "That custody order isn't going to have any power Julia. Neveah…she isn't Steve's daughter."

Julia raised an eyebrow. "Of course she is Tommy. Steve is the only guy I've ever slept with."

"Julia please, let me finish. Steve isn't Neveah's father…nor are you her mother."

"What are you saying?"

Tommy took hold of Julia's hand and gave it a light squeeze. "Julia…Katherine played you for a fool. Not just you, but everyone that's been involved in her baby scheme since day one. I've done a little investigating with the FBI and I have DNA results that prove that Neveah isn't your biological child. She's Kimberly's. Katherine switched her baby with yours at the hospital the day you and Kimberly gave birth. Meaning Katherine took Kimberly's daughter and the doctor gave Kimberly-"

"Grace…?" Julia whispered as tears began streaming down her face. Tommy nodded his head, confirming her guess.

Julia burst into tears at the news. "My baby…she's dead?"

"I am so sorry Julia. There was nothing the doctor's could've done and-"

"Why would Katherine do something so…so…cruel?"

Tommy shrugged. "You're asking a question that no one knows the answer to. Listen Julia, I am so sorry that you didn't know the truth about any of this."

"You have no reason to be sorry. I'm the one who should be sorry. I didn't have the courage to be a single parent so I gave my baby up through an illegal adoption to a woman I thought I could trust and what does she do? She gives my baby to some other woman and sits back while that baby died and…she…let me hold her."

"You did what?" Tommy asked with raised eyebrows.

"The night that Grace died in the hospital…Katherine pulled me into the room and let me hold her. She said…she'd never let anything like what was happening to Grace happen to my daughter. What irony, huh?"

Tommy sighed. "Julia, I…"

Tommy trailed off as his eyes caught onto someone walking into the room. Julia raised an eyebrow before turning around and gasping.

Tanya was walking into the Youth Center carrying Neveah in her arms as her two sons were fighting with each other. Tanya was arguing with the two as she did her best to maintain order in the public place, but her commands weren't doing her any good.

"That's Neveah…" Julia spoke quietly. "That's the little girl I thought was mine."

Tommy stood from his seat and walked over to Tanya. The woman stared at Tommy questioningly as he stopped before her.

"Is something wrong Tommy?" she asked him.

"Tanya, you need to hand Neveah over to me immediately."

Tanya held Neveah close to her as she took a step back. "Uh, I don't think so. Katherine would kill me if I let you have her baby."

"Tanya, you have no idea what's been going on. Katherine's just playing you like she's been playing everyone else. Now please, give me Neveah."

"What's going on?"

Tommy sighed. "Your husband's down at the station right now incarcerating Doctor Sun, a man that delivered Kimberly's baby a few months back. Katherine paid the man to switch Kimberly's baby with Julia's."

Tanya's mouth fell open in shock. "That's nonsense!"

"Call the station and hear it from your husband." Tommy said. "Katherine has been raising Kimberly's baby for months and she was about to skip town with her. Now please, hand Neveah over to me or I will be forced to charge you with attempted kidnapping."

Tanya stared down at the beautiful brown-haired girl in her arms and gasped as she suddenly took in the girl's resemblance. Although the girl looked a lot like Collin, she definitely resembled Kimberly. Tanya looked back at Tommy as she placed the little girl in his arms.

Tommy smiled before kissing the little girl on her forehead. "Hey there Neveah. Are you ready to go and see your mommy?"

Neveah began kicking her feet playfully as she smiled at Tommy. Tommy then looked back to Tanya.

"Thank you." He said before making his exit.

Tanya stared after him as he retreated through the doors. All this time, Katherine had been fooling everyone. What was everyone going to think when the whole truth came out? What about…?

Tanya looked down at her sons before prying the fighting boys apart and taking their hands.

"Come on boys, we have to run an errand."


Kimberly's House

Katherine pushed the front door to Kimberly's house open and slammed it shut behind her before running into the living room where she'd left Neveah's diaper bag. Just as she opened her mouth to call out for Kimberly, she closed it when she spied Kimberly standing in the middle of the living room, her arms folded across her chest as she glared at her hard, her eyes black as charcoal.

"Um, hey." Katherine said nervously. "You're back."

"I told you it wouldn't take long." Kimberly said, her voice flat and emotionless. "We were supposed to meet back here anyways, weren't we?"

Katherine nodded. "Well, I just need to get Neveah's diaper bag."

Katherine began to move for the diaper bag on the table quickly, but Kimberly stepped in front of it, blocking her access to the item.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Kimberly asked.

"I-I need to go and pick up Neveah." Katherine said, her voice trembling. She felt a little on edge and the horrible looks Kimberly was giving her weren't making matters any better.

"Oh no Katherine, you aren't going anywhere," Kimberly hissed in a low voice.

Katherine turned around and faced the doorway as she began to rock from foot to foot.

"I can practically hear the wheels turning in your head." Kimberly said angrily with a hint of amusement in her voice. "What does she know?"

"I was just thinking about Steve and how important it is that I get out of here before he gets here."

"No Katherine, that's not what you're worried about. You're worried about Steve coming here and finding out the truth that's been buried deep beneath your pile of lies."

"You're wrong." Katherine said shaking her head as she turned back around to face Kimberly.

"Oh, I am not wrong." Kimberly said, clearing that factor up. "Now, I've been wrong about a lot of things and I've been absolutely stupid, and naïve doesn't even begin to…catch it all…for trusting you…Katherine Ignalis! I felt bad for you when I saw your husband lashing out and attacking you just like he did to me. I couldn't stand the idea of Steve trying to take your daughter away because no mother deserves to have a child ripped out of their life. You came…to Grace's funeral and you sat there. You sat there and watched us grieve!"

Kimberly's face had reddened with anger by this point and Katherine could feel the walls closing in all around her. She'd never felt so small and defenseless in her entire life. She was fearful of what Kimberly knew but deep down, she knew that the truth had obviously come out.

"You sat in that church and watched Tommy and I go through all of that pain and remorse because of the loss we'd suffered and you did nothing! You didn't even throw a fit when Collin insisted that I intended the Christening service where you gave the name that you picked for my daughter!"

Kimberly growled as she knocked the diaper bag off the coffee table along with a vase of flowers that crashed to the floor, its water spilling all over the carpet. Katherine jumped in surprise at the loud crash as Kimberly stared at her breathing heavily.

"Do you have any idea how much pain you are in for because your life's about to be a living hell!"

"Kimberly…" Katherine spoke once she'd finally found her voice again. "Who told you these lies?"

"You mean who figured out your lies and told me the truth? You can thank Tommy for that."

"And you believed him? Kimberly, Tommy obviously can't stand me. I…spoke to him just this morning about how I was happy we were getting along and he shot down the idea of us ever becoming friends." She lied.

"Hmm…well if he did, he was probably angry with the fact that I was playing hostess to the woman who kidnapped my daughter."

"Kimberly, Grace's death obviously-"

"Don't you dare say her name." Kimberly warned her. "You have no right…to say Grace's name. You used…that poor, innocent little baby in your schemes and look at what happened. The sweet little girl I thought was my daughter is dead! Your long road of lies has reached a dead end. Now you tell me where my daughter is or so help me God, I will make you tell me."

Katherine stared at Kimberly horrified. Her words were coated with venom in the look in her eyes wasn't faltering. Kimberly definitely meant what she'd said.

"Where is my baby Katherine?" Kimberly questioned as she took a step towards her.

Katherine held a hand up in defense as she ran to take cover behind an armchair.

"Listen to me Kimberly, you are obviously distraught. Neveah couldn't possibly be your daughter."

"Tommy has DNA tests Katherine, and even if I had doubts about what you're saying, the fact that you stole from me and were planning to steal from me again has erased them all. You were going to take the money from me and make your big escape with my daughter and I'd never even know."

"That's not true! None of what you're saying is true!"

"Katherine, I have my sources. You were paying Doctor Sun to keep quiet about your little exchange but guess what? In the end, he cared more about himself than the crazy blonde psychopath that was threatening his business. He gave you up and told Tommy and the police everything. The man's being processed as we speak and when I get my daughter, you're next."

Katherine had tears streaming down her cheeks after Kimberly's rant.

"Thank God for Tommy." Kimberly spoke as she walked closer to Katherine. "And thank God that Neveah's going to grow up with her true mother raising her. Not some insane mistress who's a liar and a master thief."

Katherine swallowed hard and took a deep breath. "Kimberly, I can see that you are in a lot of pain and you're obviously trying to blame me for everything that's gone wrong with your life. You…need some rest and a therapist. So, I'll just be on my way."

Katherine tried to make a break for the front door but Kimberly managed to run a little faster and slam her back into the door to block Katherine's exit.

"You are not leaving this house." Kimberly snapped. "You aren't going anywhere until you tell me where Neveah is."

Katherine's eyes moved to the kitchen where the patio door was but just before she could make another run for it, Kimberly reached out and grabbed tightly onto her arm.

"Ouch, Kimberly you're hurting me!"

Kimberly yanked Katherine towards her before pushing her back into the living room.

"I mean it Katherine, you aren't going anywhere."

Kimberly reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone. "I'm calling the police." She announced.

Katherine gasped before reaching for the phone and snapping it shut. She then tossed it across the room making it hit the wall, its battery falling out.

"I will not let you do that!" she shouted.

"Why not Katherine? You're going to pay whether I call them or not. I can't even begin to think of what Collin's going to do to you when he finds out what you've done to him. You are going to end up miserable and all alone. I'm taking Neveah back. She is my daughter."

"No!" Katherine shouted, but she was silenced as Kimberly slapped her hard across her face. She squeezed her eyes shut as pain seared through her cheek.

"She is Collin's and she is my daughter and I want to hear you say it!"

"No!" Katherine shouted even louder, but her protesting only earned her an even harder slap to her cheek, this one making her stumble back slightly as she held her face in pain.

"Say it Katherine." Kimberly growled. "Neveah is Kimberly's daughter. Say it!"

Katherine looked up at Kimberly fearfully between the strands of matted hair that were decorating her face as she breathed heavily trying to contain herself, but at the sight of Kimberly's angry face, tears began to slide down her swollen cheeks.

"Neveah is yours." Katherine said in a quiet voice before bursting into tears.

Kimberly took a cleansing breath as she blinked a few of her own tears free before watching Katherine as she began to crumble in misery. She was holding on tightly to the arm of a chair as she doubled over in pain. Kimberly simply crossed her arms and watched disgustedly at the woman who'd been making her life hell for months.


The Ignalis Mansion

Collin was busy looking over a few bank statements when a knock sounded at the study doors.

"I told you I didn't want to be bothered." He shouted angrily at his visitor. The door opened anyway, making him sigh and remove his reading glasses. He was surprised to see Tanya walking into his study instead of an employee.

"Tanya, if you're here to talk about Katherine-"

"That's not why I'm here." She cut him off as she raised a hand to silence him. "Look Collin, something's happened and…I'm sure you're going to want to find out. You need to head over to Kimberly's house right away."

Collin stared at her unsure he'd heard right.

"I'm afraid I don't understand Tanya. What's happened?"

"It's not my place to tell you. Please, just go to Kimberly's. You'll understand when you get there."

Collin opened his mouth prepared to speak again, but Tanya had already made her way out of his study. Placing a hand to his chin in thought, he sighed and decided to oblige to the woman's request.

"Ignacio," he spoke as he hit the intercom button, "get the limo started. I need to travel to Kimberly's house."


Kimberly's House

Kimberly stared at Katherine as the blonde slowly struggled to recollect herself. She raised an eyebrow as Katherine's hand went to her stomach.

"I…I never thought something could hurt as much as losing a baby." Katherine spoke after a while. "So when you say that I sat back and did nothing when Grace died…that's not true…my heart ached and it went out for you because I knew what you were going through."

Katherine wiped at her nose before turning to face Kimberly. "When I miscarried…I couldn't do it Kimberly. I couldn't face Collin and tell him the truth."

Kimberly stared at her. "Because you knew it was going to send your perfect world crashing to the ground so it could burn in flames." She spoke. "It would have been a deal breaker to tell him because you knew he was only with you because you were the mother of his child."

"No." Katherine spoke as she placed a hand over her heart. "Collin loved me and I loved him more than anything."

"Is that supposed to excuse what you did?" Kimberly asked with no emotion in her voice.

"What about you, huh?" Katherine asked. "You didn't even tell him that you were pregnant with his baby. You were lying to him."

Kimberly took a step forward making Katherine cower and step back.

"Are you kidding me? You aren't seriously stupid enough to try and make this seem like my fault."

Katherine shook her head before saying no in a small voice. She locked eyes with Kimberly before speaking again.

"You had Grace." She shrugged.

Kimberly bit her tongue to keep her from lashing out another time.

"And I gave Collin his daughter." Katherine smiled through her tears. "His real daughter. The thing is Kimberly…I thought we could all be happy because everything would be as it should be. You'd have a daughter and Collin and I would have ours. Look, I know what you must think of me."

"You have no idea what I think of you." Kimberly spat.

Katherine sighed. "You have no idea what I went through Kimberly. Look, you have Jacob. You've gotten to experience the joys of being pregnant, giving birth and bringing a little life that you helped create into this world, but me…I was told that I was never going to be able to conceive. I had that thought set in stone and it ruined so many relationships for me. Rocky…he was something special but when I found out about my condition I continued to push him away because I knew I wouldn't be able to give him the family that he was going to want one day. I had accepted the fact that I couldn't have kids but after my fling with Collin…I found out I was pregnant and it was a miracle."

Katherine's face seemed to light up at the memory of the day she'd found out about her pregnancy.

"I mean…look at you Kimberly! Children seem to come so easily to you. I mean, you don't even want them and you still manage to get pregnant and it's just not fair!"

"Are you serious right now?" Kimberly said in disbelief.

"Yes Kimberly, I am very serious. You got pregnant with Grace and you concealed the pregnancy from Collin! It's like you were ashamed of being pregnant or something!"

"That is not what happened!" Kimberly shouted. "I didn't want another baby being brought up in the Ignalis family Katherine. Do you have any idea what kind of horrible things Jacob is going to experience while under the Ignalis thumb?"

"It shouldn't matter Kimberly. Collin is a great father! He would do anything for his children no matter the cost."

"You should double check that statement of yours." Kimberly snapped. "The man you're claiming to be the father of the year threw an innocent little baby out of his house at the thought that she couldn't be his daughter. Yeah, sounds like a wonderful father to me."

"Regardless of what you think of him, you still had his child and it's not fair! It's just not fair Kimberly. I can't have another child."

"So you think that just because I already had a child that I wouldn't miss one?" Kimberly said, her voice rising.

"No, it's not that." Katherine said, holding her hands up in defense. "It's just that…you had Grace and you loved her and Collin had his little girl."

"Are you seriously going to stand there and tell me that you think what you did was right?"

"It could've been." Katherine said trying to sound happy.

Kimberly took a few more steps towards Katherine to the point where her back was nearly touching the wall.

"I am not going to stand here and listen to this nonsense any longer." Kimberly said. "You are going to tell me where my daughter is Katherine and you are going to tell me now."

Katherine looked at Kimberly, her eyes filling with more tears. "No." she whispered. "She's mine Kimberly and I will never give you Neveah."

"I don't know if you've been paying attention Katherine but Tommy has DNA evidence that she's my daughter. You are not calling the shots anymore."

"I will never let you take my baby girl away from me."

"She is not your child!" Kimberly snapped.

"Yes she is!" Katherine retaliated. "I love her just like you love your children and to her, I am her mother. She needs and loves me, not you, me."

"Because you stole her from me!"

"No, you didn't even know Kimberly. You held her this morning and all those other times Collin let you and you still didn't know."

"Because you were lying to me!"

"No Kimberly, it's because you knew that I was her mother and that she loved me! You don't want her because she's your daughter. You want her because she's your property!"

"I swear to God Katherine!"

Katherine tried to run from Kimberly but Kimberly grabbed onto her arm and pulled her back with such a force that she fell onto the floor. Katherine tried to scramble back to her feet but Kimberly wouldn't let her.

The former pink ranger dove on top of Katherine and the two of them began wrestling for dominance. Katherine was eager to escape with Neveah but Kimberly wasn't about to let her get away with her daughter again.

Kimberly tried to make a grab for Katherine's throat, but Katherine managed to bite her first, earning an outcry of pain for Kimberly. Kimberly growled before grabbing a fistful of blonde hair. The two of them screeched as their catfight ensued for several more minutes.

Katherine managed to get the upper hand and used her foot to kick Kimberly in her stomach. Kimberly grasped her stomach in pain and rolled off the blonde giving Katherine the chance to stand to her feet and grab hold of a glass candle holder with sharp edges that made it look like a star.

"You aren't getting my baby Kimberly." Katherine warned her as she held the object out in front of her.

Kimberly took a few deep breaths and stood to her feet. "If you think that threatens me, you're wrong Katherine."

The two of them were prepared for another round but they were interrupted by the sound of the front door opening. Katherine and Kimberly spun around quickly and stared in shock as Tommy stepped into the living room holding Neveah in his arms.

Kimberly smiled as tears began streaming down her face. Katherine dropped the candle holder as she too began crying.

Neveah stared at the two women in the room with surprise on her face that nearly matched the surprise on Tommy's.

"What's going on in here?" he asked.

"Give me my baby." Katherine said in a whinny voice as she pushed past Kimberly and held her arms out as she prepared to grab Neveah, but Tommy placed a hand up and pushed her arms away to stop her.

"She's not yours Katherine." He said gently as though he were speaking to a child. "She's Kimberly's daughter."

Katherine's mouth fell open as Tommy walked over to Kimberly and gently lowered the little girl into her true mother's arms.

Kimberly began crying tears of joy at the warmth that the little girl brought to her. "Hi Neveah." She cooed. "Oh my gosh, it's so good to see you."

Kimberly placed a kiss on the baby's forehead before looking up at Tommy. "How did you find her?"

"Katherine left her with Tanya." He explained. "She planned on getting the money from you and going back to get the baby so they could take off."

"Well it's a good thing you got to her before that could happen." Kimberly smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without you. I finally have my daughter back."

"She's mine…" Katherine said in a choked up voice, alerting the two of them that she was still present in the room. "She's my baby."

"No Katherine." Tommy said placing a hand on her shoulder to keep her away. Kimberly held onto Neveah tight. "She's Kimberly's baby. It's over."

"No Tommy." Katherine pleaded through her tears. "You don't understand. Neveah, she's my daughter. I've loved her since she was born. No-ho-ho."

Tommy stared at Kathrine sympathetically as she began crying harder.

"I'm her mommy!" she said, her voice breaking. "I'm her mommy…!"

Neveah turned and watched with curious brown eyes as the woman she'd thought was her mother broke down in front of her. Katherine stared in pain as Kimberly held onto the little girl before running for the front door. Just as she opened it, Collin stepped through.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa Katherine." He said grabbing hold of her tear covered face. "What's going on?"

Katherine parted her lips to speak, but Tommy beat her to the punch as he appeared in the hall.

"Go on Katherine, tell him what happened."

Katherine stared between the two men before pushing past Collin and running out into the street. Collin called after her before chasing her down the road. Tommy shook his head before closing the door and heading back into the living room.

Kimberly was seated on the couch running a hand through the mess of wild brown curls on her daughter's head.

"I can't believe that all this time…she was right under my nose and I had no idea." She spoke. "But…I can feel it now. I knew that there was something special between us like…a connection. I must be crazy or something because I felt the same thing with Grace."

"Hey now." Tommy said as he crossed the room to take a seat beside her. "It's not a strange thing that you felt the same thing with Grace. She was your daughter too regardless of the fact that your blood wasn't in her veins. Don't you ever think for one second that by loving Neveah you'll be forgetting her."

Kimberly smiled before looking up at Tommy. "I don't know what I'd do without you handsome." She sighed before leaning in to give him a quick kiss.

"Right back at you beautiful."


Author's Note: Well guys, Kimberly and Neveah have finally been reunited and Katherine got the taste slapped out of her mouth! Lol

I mean, I do feel a little bad for her, but the woman is psycho

Now, all that's left to do is to let Collin know the truth! Unfortunately, this means there are only two chapters left in this story.

It's been a long ride, but a fun one and I'm glad you guys have stuck along for the ride. Anyways, leave me a review or a pm and let me know what you thought of the chapter. I'm eager to hear how you guys reacted to the truth. See you at the next update!
