Chapter 4
Marissa paced nervously while Bianca sat nearby. The kids were asleep. Marissa waited nervously for news about Babe. She hadn't told AJ the news yet. The poor kid had lost his grandfather, his father would likely never leave prison again. If Griff and Maria couldn't save Babe, Marissa didn't want to get AJ's hopes up only to have them crushed yet again.
Is there anything I can do for you?
: Just be here. I'm trying to put on a brave face for my son, just be here if I need to fall apart in private.
I will.
Krystal lost her once, I know she has to live with that everyday. If she loses Babe again after getting her back, I don't see how she'll survive it.
Either way you and I will be there for her.
And if Babe comes back, what will she think of me? Will she think I stole her son?
Bianca thought back to when Babe had Miranda, how angry she'd been once. But she didn't feel angry anymore. Whatever sins Babe and Krystal committed they'd paid for it and then some. And besides, Marissa, AJ, and Krystal deserved to have her back.
You know Kendall and I, we weren't always so close.
Why not.
It's a long story. Some of it was my fault, some of it hers, some just bad circumstances. Time was I didn't think we'd ever be close as sisters. But as mad as we sometimes were there was a part of both of us that wanted to reconcile. And when one of us really needed the other, we were always there. We stuck it out, and I'm really glad we did. So, my advice is that even if it's hard at first, don't give up. And as someone who's seen the best and the worst of Babe I can tell you that she's worth it.
Thank you.
Then Marissa got a call. Bianca could tell it was Krystal. She also knew that good or bad this would be the news about Babe. Bianca looked at her girlfriend's face. Before Marissa even hung up Bianca could tell what the news was. Bianca was right, Babe had regained consciousness.
