Brandon's Hotel Room

Brandon and Kelly were sitting on the couch watching a movie, well, Brandon was watching the movie. Kelly on the other hand, had her head in Brandon's lap fast asleep, as he was absently stroking her hair. Brandon looked down at her and smiled before he quietly bent down and kissed her on the forehead. Slowly he moved his arms so that he could lift her up and then he carried her over to the bed. Of course as soon as he set her on the bed and took his hands away from her, she opened her eyes.

"Hey, did I fall asleep?" Kelly asked rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah you did, but you were really tired." Brandon said as he sat down next to her.

"How'd it end?" Kelly asked sitting up, trying desperately trying to wake herself up a little bit.

"You know I really wasn't paying much attention to the movie." Brandon said looking into her eyes.

" Brandon…" Kelly began as her eyes locked with his and soon their faces began to get closer and closer together. "Should we be doing this?" Kelly asked.

Instead of answering her Brandon kissed her with all the passion he had built up that day. All he seemed to want was to be with her and that was what she wanted to, but she just didn't feel right about something, and she knew what it was too. She needed to tell him about Cassie before things got way to intense. She didn't want another relationship that was based on a lie she wanted a relationship that was real. Something she could be proud of, and she wanted to be able to be herself all day, every day.

"I want you to come with me tomorrow." Brandon said noticing that something was bugging her.

"Oh, and how are you going to do that Mr. Walsh?" Kelly asked forgetting everything that had happened a minute ago.

"Watch and learn." Brandon said as he grabbed the phone. "Yes, Chancellor Arnold's room please…"

"What are you doing?" Kelly said almost laughing.

"Ssshhh, Chancellor Arnold, Brandon Walsh… Listen I was wondering if I could get one more person invited tomorrow… Kelly Taylor… great thank you… have a nice night." Brandon said as he hung up the phone.

"I can't believe you did that!" Kelly said as she buried her head in the pillows next to her.

"Well, I couldn't do this without you there now could I?" Brandon asked as he propped himself up on his elbow.

Casa Walsh Brandon's Bedroom

Cassie was still sitting in the bed crying while Cindy and Brenda tried their hardest to make her feel better, but nothing seemed to work. Brenda had tried to act out the story one more time in an effort to make Cassie forget that Kelly wasn't there, but it still didn't work. Cindy tried singing her the lullaby that had always worked on Brandon and Brenda when they couldn't sleep.

"I… want… mommy…" Cassie said in between sobs.

"Brenda, go get the phone." Cindy said giving little Cassie a tight hug.

"But mom we don't know if the room is under her name or Brandon's." Brenda said trying to not have to call her.

"Brenda, just go and get the phone… let me handle the rest." Cindy said bushing Cassie's bangs out of her face. "Sweetie, would it help if you talked to your mommy?" She asked.

"Yeah" Cassie said sobbing.

Cindy grabbed the phone when Brenda brought it into the room, but she wasn't going to be the one asking the question. She called the hotel and handed the phone back to Brenda, who was told to ask for Kelly's room first and if that didn't work then she was to ask for Brandon's room. One way or the other they were going to get a hold of Kelly because Cassie wasn't about to go to sleep without getting her good night from her mom.

Brandon's Hotel Room

Brandon was staring up at the ceiling while Kelly was fast asleep with her head on his shoulder. He was slowly starting to drift off when the phone began to ring. As he reached to pick it up he tried not to wake Kelly up. After all she hadn't had any sleep in the past thirty or so hours.

"Hello?" Brandon asked sleepily.

" Brandon, do you know where Kelly is?" Brenda asked knowing that he would.

"Yeah, she's right here why?" Brandon asked a little curious on why Brenda needed to talk to her so late.

"Can you put her on?" Brenda asked totally ignoring her brother's question.

"Hang on… Kel… Brenda's on the phone." Brandon said waiting for Kelly's reply.

"Hmm, what?" She asked yawning.

"Phone's for you." Brandon told her as she grabbed the phone.

"Brenda what's wrong?" She asked concerned and wide awake now.

"It's nothing major… Cassie can't sleep… she wants you." Brenda said into the phone.

"Let me talk to her." Kelly said as the phone was passed to Cassie. "Hi sweetie, why can't you sleep?" She asked her daughter.

"I… miss… you." Cassie said still crying.

"Awe, I miss you too baby." Kelly said glancing back at Brandon just to make sure he couldn't hear what she was saying.

"When are you coming home?" Cassie asked as the tears stopped.

"Mommy will be home in a few days sweetie." Kelly said knowing that it was risky for her to say that but Brandon was going to find out sooner or later anyways.

"I want you here now!" Cassie said clutching her teddy tighter.

"I know you do… but you gotta be a big girl and hang in there for just a few more days." Kelly said wanting to be there so badly.

"I love you mommy!" Cassie said as she lay back in the bed still holding the phone to her ear.

"I love you too sweetie… now go to sleep like a good little girl okay?" Kelly said with a smile on her face.

"Okay… good night mommy." Cassie said as she waited for Kelly to reply.

"Good night sweet girl." Kelly said as she heard Cassie hang up the phone.

Kelly brushed away a stray tear as she placed the phone back on its receiver and watched as Brandon got up and sat next to her. He was a little curious on whom she had been talking to and at first he thought that it might be her baby sister, Erin, but then he caught her saying mommy and knew that it wasn't her sister. Kelly knew he had heard the whole conversation and she was ready to explain everything to him, she was just waiting for him to bring it up.

"Kel, is there something you want to tell me now?" Brandon asked looking her straight in the eye.

"How much of that did you hear?" Kelly asked knowing that she was busted.

"Oh, not too much just the part where you said mommy will be home soon!" Brandon said as he stood up and started walking towards the door.

" Brandon, wait…. I can explain!" Kelly said as he stopped and turned around.
