Author's Note: Update Time… this story is moving steadily towards the end. Of Kat and Adam's tale anyway. :D

Kat looked around her apartment for the last time, taking a deep breath, "I'm doing the right thing, no matter what anybody says," she whispered to herself. Her cell phone rang and she looked at the display, "Kim! I don't want to talk about it anymore!" she yelled at the phone, before hitting the silence button, "Frustrating, bloody, interfering, pink!"

"You talking about yourself?" Adam asked with a half smile as he leaned against the doorframe, Anaya hugging his leg.

Kat spun around, "What? No," she said quickly, sighing as she caught Anaya's heartbreaking glances up at her. She knelt down, "Hi sweetie," she said softly.

Anaya disentangled herself from Adam and ran over to Kat, wrapping her arms around Kat's neck, "Do you have to leave?" She whimpered, burying her head into Kat's neck. "I'll miss you really, really badly."

"Oooh sweetheart, I'm gonna miss you too, but you and daddy can come see me, okay," she said kissing her head, holding her tightly.

"It's not the same," Anaya replied, sniffling softly.

"I know sweetie, but I have to go back," Kat whispered, her heart breaking even more.

"Speaking of," Adam said softly, checking his watch, "we have to go, your flight is leaving in two hours."

Kat stood up, picking Anaya up and shifting her to her hip as she did so, "Let's go," she nodded, biting her lip hard to keep herself from crying. I'm doing the right thing.

Kat set Anaya down in one of the chairs in the waiting area of the airport, "Well sweetheart, this is as far as you guys can go with me," she said softly, sitting down next to her, laughing softly as Anaya immediately climbed into her lap, and wrapped her arms around her again. "I'm going to miss you so much," she whispered, running a hand slowly through her gorgeous curls. She looked up at Adam, "Both of you."

Adam swallowed and gave her as much of a smile as he could muster, "We'll miss you more," he said softly. He turned away as he phone vibrated and he flipped it open, seeing a text message from Tanya, Tell her how you feel!!!! Adam sighed, Step off. He texted her back, flipping his phone shut.

"Kat-erine, if you'll miss us that much, then don't leave us, please," Anaya begged, looking up at her, eyes shining with unshed tears.

"I wish I could stay," Kat whispered, kissing her cheek, "But I need my job baby girl."

"I can get you a job," Anaya begged, "you can move in with daddy and me, and take care of me. I could pay you! I get an allowance," she said clinging tightly to Kat. "I don't want you to leave!"

Kat's heart broke at the sadness in Anaya's voice and held her tightly, "Ooh baby, I wish…I wish that would work," she whispered, looking up at Adam, only to find him looking away from him, his eyes shut tightly. Just then, she heard her flight being called, "I have to go," she said kissing Anaya again, "I'm going to miss you so much" she said standing up, setting Anaya down gently.

"I love you Kat-erine," Anaya said softly, a tear escaping, falling solemnly down her cheek.

"I love you too baby girl," Kat whispered, kneeling down to wipe the tear away.

"Kat, I…" Adam started to say, watching their interaction.

Kat got up and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "I'm going to miss you," she said softly, I'm not gonna cry. I'm doing the right thing. I'm not going to cry, dammit! She blinked back the tears that were threatening to mutiny.

"I wish you didn't have to leave," Adam said softly, holding onto to her tightly. "I…" he trailed off. "Things won't be the same without you," he said, chickening out of what he was originally going to say.

"I…" Kat pulled back, her eyes meeting his, and she felt her heart sink even more. "I have to go," she said hugging him again. She pulled away from him and picked up her bags. "I'll umm… I'll call you when I get into London," she said biting her lip.

"Bye Katherine," Adam said softly, watching her turn and walk away, "I'm an idiot," he muttered to himself. "Come on Anaya-banana," he said picking her up. "Let's go home."

Once he got Anaya situated in the car, he started it up, fiddling with the radio. He sighed, station after station was songs about love. "Screw it," he said flipping the radio off as he pulled out of the lot.

Later that day, he was putting Anaya down for a nap, "You going to be okay sweetheart?" He asked as he handed her, her stuffed frog.

"I miss her so much daddy," Anaya said with a sniffle. "I wanted her… I thought, I thought she could be my mommy," she whispered, clinging to her frog. "I love her daddy."

"I love her too," Adam said leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I love her too," he said to himself as he sat back up.

He headed out of her room and to the kitchen, grabbing a beverage for himself when his cell phone went off again. He flipped up the screen to read a text message from Tanya, You are an idiot. He made a face, I know I am, but it takes one to know one, remember that. He sent it to her and shut off his phone, resting his head against the fridge as he thought about the events of the day. "I should have stopped her."

Kat took a deep breath and laid her head back against the seat rest. Her heart was pounding and her mind was racing. It'd been so hard for her to leave. "It was for the best," she whispered, though her heart knew that was a lie to placate her mind. She slid her head phones on and hit random on her mp3 player. The first strains of a familiar song began to play and she closed her eyes tightly, willing back her tears once again. "If only I could turn back time; if only I had said what I still hide…" She choked back a sob and let her tears begin to fall freely.

Author's Note2: Well, she's gone. :( Is this the end? Stay tuned and find out.
