Author's Note: Well, here we are, and now we shall see what Hayley has to say to Kira. I told you I wouldn't leave you hanging with a cliffie that long. :D

Kira stared at the email in her inbox for whatseemed like an eternity. Her heart was pounding rapidly in her chest. Hayley had found her. Did she tell the others? Dr.O? She could only wonder what Dr. O would think of her situation.

Well, she thought to herself, it's now or never. She clicked on the email and began to read.

First of all, before you start of to freak out, no one else knows where you are. I haven't told anyone where you moved and I don't intend to until you give me leave to. You're secret is safe with me.

Kira let out a sigh of relief, "Thank god," she said aloud. The others didn't know where she lived, or what had happened to her. She truly wasn't ready to face them after the disaster her marriage had turned into. She shook her head to clear the last of her nerves and continue to read.

Now that the reassurances are out of the way, I have to offer you condolences and congratulations. First I'll start with the bad. I'm sorry that your marriage didn't work out. No matter what we thought of him, I know you were head over heals in love with Caleb. I could skin him for what he put you through. What he tried to make you do and what he did are unacceptable. I'm sure that jerk must have said some awful things to you as well. Just know that you are a beautiful person and you deserve so much better.

Kira blinked back tears as she finished that first paragraph. Sometimes it was hard not to think that maybe of she'd have done something differently, Caleb wouldn't have left her. Even if her mind knew that the only thing that would have made him stay was giving up Talee, something she could never do, her heart sometimes cried for the love that she felt before their marriage went to shambles. She wiped away a stray tear that fell and continued to read Hayley's letter.

Now on to the congratulations, you have a daughter! That's wonderful news and I'm sure she's beautiful. What does she look like? Does she have any of your features? She must be getting so big now. I'd love to see a picture if you could send me one. I'll keep it secure on my computer, nobody but I have access to it.

Kira couldn't help but laugh, her mood lifted by the subtle way Hayley was asking for a picture of Talee without actually asking for one. She knew she would definitely send her one, she trusted Hayley, when she said no one would find the picture, no one would find the picture. She almost stopped reading the letter to look through her picture folder for a good picture to send to Hayley, but she reminded herself to focus and finish the letter.

In closing, I wish that you would have came to us, so you wouldn't have had to go through all of your troubles alone. We all miss you, especially the boys. I hope eventually you will come home for a visit. But until you do, keep in touch with me.

With love,

Your Secret Keeper

Hayley

Kira sighed, the boys missed her. She missed them too, more than she cared to admit. But she wasn't ready to face them, to face any of them yet. She needed to find herself again, and get settled in her new home, in her new life, before she could face her past. But she would keep in touch with Hayley, she owed her that much, since she did all that work to find her. She could only wonder how Hayley found out as much as she did. She always wondered how Hayley knew so much about everyone.

Kira minimized her inbox and began searching her picture folder, looking for just the right pictures to send Hayley. She clicked on one of the two of them, Talee sitting on Kira's knee. "Perfect," she said to herself as she scrolled through the other pictures of just Talee. She stopped on one of Talee sitting up, giving the camera a bright smile, her eyes shining with glee. "That one too," she decided, as she opened up her inbox once again and clicked on 'Reply'.

Hayley,

I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys, I guess I was, and still am, ashamed at letting myself get caught up in Caleb's charm. I still can't believe I let him fool me like that. It hurts more than I can say. I'm just not ready to face the guys yet, they were right, and I was a lovesick idiot. I don't want to hear them say 'I told you so', even though it is their right to do so.

I can't believe you found me, even though part of me always thought out of anyone; it would be you. Thank you for keeping my secret, especially from Dr. O, I know you hate to keep things from him; I just want you to know how much I appreciate it.

I've attached two pictures of Tabitha Lee, one of the both of us, and one of just her. I trust you to keep them safe. I know you will. These were taken a few weeks ago. It's hard to believe 8 months have gone by so quickly. She's beautiful Hayley. I love her so much. I don't know what I would do without her in my life. She makes everything right again, no matter how wrong it has gone.

I'll keep in touch with you now that you've found me, I promise.

Love,

Kira

A few days later, Kira was sitting in her front yard, watching Talee roll and crawl around on the blanket she'd laid down on the grass. She was relaxed for the first time in the days since Dustin and Hayley had found out her secret. She looked over towards Kim's house and smiled when she sat Kim coming her way, with a couple trailing behind her. More of Kim's friends, she thought to herself. I wonder what they'll be like, she pondered.

"Kira! These are more of my best friends, this is Billy and his fiancé Trini," Kim said happily, introducing the two of them. "Billy, Trini, this is Kira Sutton, the woman I was telling you about."

"Talking about non-stop you mean," Trini teased, giving Kira a smile. "We've heard so much about you and your daughter."

"Oh," Kira blushed slightly. "This is Tabitha Lee," she said sitting her daughter up. "Wave hi baby girl," she said softly, smiling as Talee waved up at the two of them.

"She's adorable," Trini said kneeling down, "Hello beautiful girl," she cooed at Talee.

Billy meanwhile was staring intensely at Kira, his mind running a mile a minute with so many questioned that it was a battle to keep from blurting them all out at once. He concentrated on putting his thoughts in a neat and ordered fashion.

"Kimberly!" Jason yelled out the door.

"I'm busy!" Kim yelled back at him, causing Talee to squeal loudly. She wanted to yell too.

"Quiet peanut," Kira shushed her, tickling her sides to get her to laugh.

"Kimberly! The oven's going off," Jason yelled back at Kim.

"Sh…oot, my roast," Kim exclaimed, running for her door. "I'm coming," she yelled to her husband.

Kira laughed, "She always forgets things in the oven," she commented after Kim had run off.

"She did that in high school too," Trini said with a laugh. She looked over at her fiancé. "Billy, you're being awfully quiet," she noted. "Is something wrong?"

"No…" he paused, "Well, yes actually. I'm trying to run in through my head why Kimberly would fail to tell us that a comrade has been living next to her this entire time. Something of this nature would usually have the phone lines buzzing. Neither Zack nor Adam has mentioned this phenomenon and I'm under the impression that they have both met our new friend here."

"Umm… what'd he just say?" Kira asked curiously. He reminds me of Ethan, she thought to herself, looking down at Talee as she began to roll around the blanket.

"In a nutshell, I want to know why Kimberly hasn't told us she's living next to the Dino's Yellow Ranger," Billy stated, looking down at Kira curiously.

Author's Note2: Yes, I know another cliffie. Don't kill me please! :D I had to leave it there. Really. You can't kill me otherwise you'll never find out what happens next! Hope you enjoyed.
