...5 Years Later, More or Less...
Cassie was in her computer room, on her day off, thinking about how much she misses Donna, and looking through the pictures of them when they were younger. She still couldn't get the picture out of her head of Donna slumped on the steering wheel, it's just one memory she can't seem to shake, and her psychiatrist gives her medication for her nightmares and insomnia.
After Donna's funeral, Cassie lost touch of everyone, including her best friend Juice. She didn't go back to visit, call any of them, or send any texts. The day she went back to work, before Dr. Simmons was could fire her, she quit first. When Cassie quit, Trish quit as well as seven other employees.
Cassie and Trish decided to pack their things and move to Phoenix, Arizona to find a better job. Within two weeks, both of them got hired at Arrowhead Hospital, on the pediatric floor. Cassie was the head doctor and Trish was her number one nurse.
Everything was going great for Cassie, except for her nightmares of when Donna was killed and her seeing a shrink for it, but everything else was going fine in her life, until she started getting sick. She honestly thought, she had a stomach flu, but when she missed a period, she took a pregnancy test.
...Positive...
Cassie couldn't believe it, because she was told when she was eighteen that she wouldn't be able to get pregnant. Ever. That's the main reason why she wanted to become a pediatrician, so she could help other babies and kids. She was so excited and happy that this was her miracle baby, then Cassie started to think back the last time she slept with someone, and realized that the father of her baby is Jax. During her pregnancy, she debated if she wanted to tell him or not, but always decided against it.
Daisy Giselle Bennett was born two weeks late, on a early Wednesday morning on September 9, 2009 at Arrowhead Hospital at 12:31am. She weighed 6lbs - 3oz and she was 19 inches long. Daisy was healthy and beautiful, plus she did not inherit Jax's family flaw.
After Daisy turned two, Cassie opened up her own pediatric office, near the hospital where Daisy was born and her home. Trish works there as the main nurse. A few months after that, Cassie began dating Jason Sawyer, she met him at the Dodge dealership. He convinced her to buy a brand new navy blue Charger and go out on a date with him.
Months later, Daisy got used to the fact that there was a guy around the house, she began calling him 'Daddy' and he was okay with that. Trish ended up marrying her long time boyfriend, Michael Logan or Mike, and Cassie has the most adorable three and a half year old godson named Tyler.
Lately, Cassie's been thinking about dropping by Charming for the first time since Donna's funeral and tell Jax that he has a daughter, but she's not sure what would happen if she did.
Cassie's door opened and she got snapped out of her thoughts. "Mommy?"
"Yes?"
"When's Daddy coming home?"
"In a few hours, Baby... he's still at work."
"Daddy was supposed to take me to the park."
"He'll probably take you tomorrow... you can ask Aunt Trish if Tyler can go with you."
"Okay, Mommy." she gave Cassie a hug. "I'm gonna watch cartoons in my room."
"That's fine." Cassie nodded, then Daisy skipped out of the room. A few minutes later, Cassie pulled out her cell phone and stared at the number that she wanted to call. A half an hour later, she pressed the send button. "Fuck it." she mumbled to herself.
It rang four times and went to voicemail, then she left a message. "Um... hey Juice, it's me, Cassie. Long time no see or talk. I'm so sorry I haven't been in touch, with you being my best friend and all." she paused. "I live in North Phoenix, Arizona and I have my own doctor's office. I guess I'll go now, I'll talk to you later. Love ya, bye." then she hung up the phone and sighed.
Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-Dong.
Cassie got up to open the door, then she laughed. "You know, Trish... you can just walk in, really, I don't mind." Cassie noticed the serious look on her face. "What's wrong?"
"Well." she started. "Mike wants a divorce."
"What?" Cassie kind of yelled. "Why?"
Trish walked in and looked down at Tyler. "Go play with Daisy, okay?" he nodded and ran down the hallway.
"Come sit down." Cassie suggested, then both of them sat down on the couch. "What happened?"
"He... uh, had an affair with a Hooters girl."
"Hooters?"
Trish nodded as she started to cry. "Apparently, Miss Hooter-Whore is moving to New York and Mike wants to move in with her."
"What about Tyler?"
"He wants me to have full custody and he'll pay child support." Trish shook her head, "He doesn't want nothing to do with our son anymore."
"What a bastard."
"Is it okay, if me and Tyler stays here for a few days?"
"Yeah, of course."
Trish wiped her eyes. "Do you have a pen?"
"Hang on a sec." Cassie got up and walked into the kitchen, then grabbed a pen. "Here."
Trish took it and started signing the divorce papers. When she was finished, she set the pen down on the coffee table. "There... we're officially divorced and I have full custody of Tyler."
"I'm sorry, Trish."
"Thanks... you're my best friend and I love you, Cass."
"I love you too."
Trish stood up. "I'm gonna head over to the house to grab some things for Tyler and I."
"Okay." Cassie nodded.
"Tyler! Come here for a second!"
"What, Mommy?" he yelled, running into the livingroom with Daisy behind him.
Trish squatted down to their level and grabbed one of their hands. "Look at you two." she smiled. "Always together, like two peas in a pod."
"Aunt Trish." Daisy started, giving her a weird look. "What are you talking about?"
She laughed. "You two will be best friends forever."
"Yeah, they will." Cassie agreed.
Trish kissed both of them on their cheeks, then said "You two belong together." Cassie snapped her head up. "Okay, Tyler... Mommy will be back later, so be good for Aunt Cassie."
"I will, Mommy."
"I love you both... very much."
"We love you too." Daisy said, with a smile.
Trish smiled back, then stood up. She saw the funny look on Cassie's face. "What?"
"Um... nothing." she shook her head. "Just deja' vu."
"Oh, okay." Trish started walking towards the door. "I'll be back and thanks, Cass."
"No problem... wait." Cassie picked up the papers. "What about these?"
"I'm just gonna leave them... be back later."
"Okay." Cassie nodded. "Bye." then Trish walked out of the house. Cassie froze for a second, because she had a weird feeling in her gut.
"Mommy?"
She got pulled out of her daze. "Yeah?"
"Can me and Tyler watch SpongeBob?"
"Sure, Baby." she nodded, then both of them ran back into Daisy's room.
A/N: How do you like it this way? I heard a rumor that they'd probably either do a flash foward or take it where they left off. Mine... obviously is in 5 years in the future and set in 2013. So... let me know what you'll think. It's gonna be a little bit slow, but it will be good! Smooches kiddies!
