Part 11

Greenlee smiled when she saw Melissa blushing, she had also caught the tension that entered the room after Kendall said mother. She knew something was up between the two sisters and it had to do with Erica, so she left it alone until she heard Kendall insist on Melissa coming with her.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Greenlee said looking at Kendall and then gave Melissa a reassuring look.

Melissa looked at both Greenlee and Kendall and started to shake her head. "I mean I have to go, I have to get back to Kathleen and Molly. I mean you two don't want me to come with you I mean, you'll probably want to be alone, won't you?"

Kendall looked at Greenlee and then at Melissa. "Why don't you call Molly and tell her you'll be staying with us?" Greenlee asked as she looked at Melissa.

Melissa still wasn't sure about this. "I don't think it's such a good idea. I mean…Anna's still having trouble sleeping through the night and…"

"Well all the better." Kendall said smiling.

"We need the practice." Both Kendall and Greenlee said as they looked at Melissa.

"I don't know…."

"Please…." Kendall said looking at her sister. "It can give us time to catch up."

Melissa looked at Kendall and then down at the floor. She wasn't going to win and she knew that so she decided to stop trying.

"Okay…" Melissa said.

Greenlee and Kendall smiled. Greenlee went about packing a bag for Kendall while Kendall got her shoes on. Greenlee then helped Melissa get Anna ready to go outside, though Kendall had wanted to do that both Melissa and Greenlee had insisted that Kendall just sit and rest until they were ready to leave, so Kendall did as she was told. As they were leaving the apartment Greenlee's cell started to ring when she looked down at the caller ID she froze.

"Oh shit!" Greenlee said.

Kendall and Melissa both looked up at Greenlee and watched as she took a deep breath before answering the phone, also shooing them into the car as she walked away from the car and answered the cell.

"Erica…" Greenlee said and then was attacked through a phone, which she never thought was possible, but alas with Erica Kane everything seemed possible.

"Greenlee! Where is my daughter? Why didn't you call? I saw the news and let me tell seeing your daughter's name, picture and condo on TV is not the way I would have liked to end the night. How could you not call me? I have to hear about my daughter being attacked by some reporter on the television! How dare you not call me immediately! And another thing…."

Greenlee stood listening to Erica's rantings and realized the only reason she was so upset was because she was worried about Kendall. She respected that but she would actually like to keep her hearing.

"Erica...calm down. Kendall's fine. Madden..." Greenlee realized too late it wasn't a good idea to mention Madden's name.

"Madden! Madden attacked Kendall? He's the one...Greenlee where are you? Where is Kendall? Why aren't you with her? I want to talk to Kendall...put Kendall on the phone!" Erica demanded and Greenlee rolled her eyes.

"Erica...Kendall has to stay calm, and with you yelling her in ear, she isn't going to stay calm. She's fine."

"The baby too?" Erica asked concern lasing each word.

"Yes, she and the baby are fine. A..." Greenlee looked back at the car and knew not to say Melissa's name, she went with what everyone else considered her. "...bystander rushed in a saved her and the baby. They were checked by doctors and they said Kendall has to take it easy for a little while."

Greenlee heard Erica sigh. "She's ok? My baby's ok?"

"Yes...Kendall's fine. Everything is fine. I'm taking her to my place to stay the night and we'll be by your place after we go to the police station, in the morning." Greenlee said and hung up not giving Erica time to argue with her.

Once Greenlee got into the car two pairs of eyes turned toward her. Greenlee turned around and saw that Melissa and Kendall must have opened the new car seat she had in the trunk for when the baby came, and had placed Anna in it.

"I'm sorry about that, I would have helped!" Greenlee said and was met with two smiles and two 'don't worry about its'.

"Well...how is she taking it?" Kendall asked.

"She'll feel better when she sees you're okay for herself. I promised her we'd come by tomorrow morning." Greenlee watched from her rear view mirror Melissa's reaction to that and wasn't surprised to find her fazed and that same look from before, but then watched as it disappeared just as quickly as it had formed. Kendall noticed that as well and sighed.

"We are going to have to tell her sooner or later." Kendall said looking behind her.

"No...WE never have to tell her a thing." Melissa said sternly as she looked at Kendall.

"Yes we're going to have to if you're going to be living with me." Kendall said as she looked at her sister.

"Kendall not now, you need to stay..."

"To hell with staying calm, you're going to have to admit that she's your mother and except it! I have...and look at me now. I'm actually happy, and I have the love of a mother I never thought I could get."

Melissa turned her head toward the window and looked outside it as she moved her hands to her temple and started to slowly massage them.

"I'm not her daughter. You know this, my mother died. I'm a mother now, and there's nothing Erica can ever say to me that will make me ever want her love or affection. So...drop if Kendall. I had a mother, a wonderful caring mother and she died. That's it...I don't need another one, and I'm not going to try and replace her because no one can ever take Alice's place. Screw DNA, Alice was my mother through and through. Now...please leave it alone!" Melissa said not looking at her sister.

Kendall was about to argue, but she was stopped when a hand touched her shoulder. Kendall turned toward Greenlee and saw the look the shorter woman was giving her and she sighed, she would let it go this once but Melissa and she were going to have to talk about this sooner or later. She hoped sooner, rather then later but with Melissa she knew it would take some time to get this subject through and not so sore.
