Well, here's the next chapter and hoping I still have everyone's interest.

I greatly appreciate the unbelievable support and attention this fic has gotten. I'm just in awe.

Once again, I'm not a big law buff- at all- so... don't bust my chops or slam me 'bout anything, please. LOL.

"Listen, I don't have time for this crap, Scott," the detective said, slamming his palm down on the table.

"I know my rights. No attorney, no words from me," Jason said calmly.

"Are you aware that sexual molestation is a very serious- not to mention, revolting- crime? Do you get that? You're in serious trouble," the detective said, glaring at him.

"I also get that false accusation isn't exactly legal. I wanna call my lawyer now," Jason said. His cousin- Lynda Dawes- was an attorney.

"You won't get away with this," the detective said.

"You really want something from me? Here it is. My ex-wife is unstable. She wasn't threatened or pushed out of Jade's life. She left because she wanted to. You want proof? There's a letter at my house. She wrote all about how she couldn't handle marriage and motherhood," Jason said.

"Please. Letters can be forged," the other man said.

"Hers wasn't. Gina putting on a show for you guys and acting like a raving lunatic is not real evidence of anything. A sexual assault evidence kit is," Jason said. He hated having to put his daughter through this crap. But, unfortunately, it was necessary. Very.

"Oh, the little girl will be tested. Tomorrow. It's procedure. But it won't matter because we already know what the results will be," the detective sneered.

"Again... I want to call my lawyer," Jason said calmly. 'What a frigging moron.'

"Fine," the other man said coldly.

The door opened then and a dark-haired woman stepped in. Jason's eyebrows shot up. His cousin. 'Mom or Kim must've called her .'

The detective stood up straight and his eyes iced over. "Dawes."

"Ferguson," she said in the same flat tone. "Hi, Jason."

"Hey, Lynda. I'm glad you're here," he said.

"So am I. Karen called me. Oh, sweetie. I am so sorry. I had no idea Gina was so incredibly twisted. She's out there right now- giving a lovely performance. Kim's out there, too," Lynda said.

Jason nodded. "I was expecting that."

"Ferguson, I need a few minutes alone with my client," Lynda said crisply.

The detective glared at her, but, nodded abruptly and left the room- not before shooting Jason a disgusted look. Jason snorted and shook his head.

"What a great guy," he said dryly.

"Yeah. He's always been a laugh a minute," Lynda said, sitting down across from him. "First of all, I wanna say that I'm sorry about your twins. But I'm sure they're gonna be just fine."

"Thanks," he said.

Lynda nodded, then, took a deep breath. "All right. Unfortunately, they're gonna have to hold you here until after the rape test has been performed and they get the results. Because you're not allowed near Jade right now."

"How long will it take to get the results back?" Jason asked.

"Not very long. You won't have to stay here for more than one night," Lynda said.

Even the thought of one night in jail made his stomach turn. Jail. He had to spend the night in jail. Him. He really couldn't believe any of this was happening. 'I was just home in the middle of cooking dinner. And now I'm sitting here in an interrogation room at a police station. What the hell?'

Lynda reached across the table and took his hand. "Everything's gonna be fine, Jason. We'll get this messed cleared up and Gina will be properly punished."

The mention of her name made his blood boil. "Jade's not gonna understand any of this. She's gonna be scared."

"That's understandable since she's only four. But Karen will be there for her. Jade's surrounded by a lotta loved ones. So are you," Lynda said.

Jason threw her a grateful half-smile. "Thanks for helping me out, Lyn."

"What are cousins for?" she said with a smile. "So, should I bring Kim in? She really wants a few minutes with you."

"I want that, too. Get her for me," he said.

Kim stepped into the interrogation room, a bunch of different emotions tumbling around in her. She looked around warily. God, she hated everything about police stations. She looked at Jason- who was staring down at the table. He didn't belong in this place. He didn't belong anywhere near this place. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Hey, angel," he said as she walked up to the table and sat down across from him.

"I hate this," she said, looking into his eyes. "I hate Gina. I hate her so much. Jason, I wanna kill her. I really do."

"I know," he said quietly.

Kim shook her head. "She's so hateful. A person like that shouldn't be allowed to raise kids."

"And she won't. She won't," he said. Then, he sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. "I'm just... I mean, Gary came back... he's sick and might die, Gina came back, my brother is being a headache, I've got two kids in the hospital 'cause they were born a little too early and they have breathing trouble. And, now this. I'm... tired, Kim. I'm just... really, really tired."

Kim's eyes filled with tears. She really hated how down and out he sounded. It was so, so heartbreaking. She took his hand in hers and squeezed tightly. "I know you are, baby."

He shook his head slowly. "People always see me as the guy who can take care of everything with no problems at all. The guy who can easily deal with whatever's thrown his way. The guy who's never afraid. The rock. Well, you know what? Sometimes... they really couldn't be more wrong."

Kim felt a stab of guilt and bit her lower lip. He was right. It was a little hard sometimes- especially for her- to remember that Jason wasn't flawless. That was he really wasn't Superman. That he could crumble. "I'm... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I know it's not easy having to be the guy everybody can depend on. I don't exactly help make things easier at times and-"

"Hey, don't do that. Kim, you never lean too hard. Don't worry about that. I love you and the guys and my family. I'm always gonna try to be there when I'm needed no matter what. I just mean that... it's a lot to live up to at times," he said.

"I understand. I love you, too," she said as he kissed her hand.

He smiled and nodded. Then, he sighed heavily. "Well... you know I'm not going anywhere tonight, right?"

"Yeah," she whispered.

"Listen, why don't you stop by the hospital and visit with the twins for awhile?" he suggested.

"That's a good idea," she said. She really needed to see her babies right now.

"And try to just take it easy," he said.

"I will. Easier said than done, but... I will try. For you and us," she said with a weak smile.

Gina was waiting outside of the station when Kim exited a couple minutes later. The brunette had her head down. Gina smirked. "Hi, Kimmie. What's wrong? Dog just die?"

Kim's head snapped up and her eyes blazed when she saw Gina. Oh, she'd try to take it easy later. She had a few words for this witch. She stalked up to her and slapped her hard across the face. Gina's hand flew to her cheek and she glared at the shorter woman.

"You are a heartless, soulless bitch and you should be eaten alive by every rat in this state. Your little plan isn't gonna work, Gina. When this blows over, you'll be in deep crap," Kim said in a hard voice. "You're a psycho."

"No, sweetie. I'm brilliant. I'm freaking brilliant," Gina said with a cruel smile. "I know exactly what I'm doing, little one."

"The results from the test will be negative and you're gonna get charged for false accusation," Kim said.

"No matter what happens, I'm getting my daughter. You better believe it," Gina said with a slight cackle.

"You don't even want her. You're trying to take away the parent that does. Let's say this did work, how are you gonna explain to Jade that you had her father locked up for something he'd never do in a million years? You gonna lie? You're damn good at it, after all," Kim said.

"Ouch. I'm wounded," Gina said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes. "You're so pathetic, Kimberly." Then, she turned to leave, but, Kim grabbed her arm before she could stop herself. Gina was surprised by how strong the petite woman's grip was. She cocked an eyebrow.

"Gina, no matter what you try... you'll lose. Because that's what losers do. Lose. You'll always lose and you're gonna be alone for the rest of your pathetic life because no one could want something like you," Kim said.

"Your precious Jasey did," Gina sneered.

"No. He wanted a woman he thought was sane," Kim said.

"And now he wants a daughter-stealing slut," Gina said nastily. "Boy, does his taste sucks."

Yeah. It really did," Kim said sweetly. Then, she spat in Gina's face. "Go to hell, you stupid witch." Then, she turned and headed off. Gina glared after her, then, turned and stalked off in the opposite direction, crazed thoughts running through her brain. She began wiping her face.

'That whore has no idea who she's dealing with. Neither does Jason. I'm so gonna be the last person standing.'

That's all for now. Cya.
