Kendall pov.

The past three and a half weeks have been.... tiring. No, that's an understatement. After all....after we got Nic home, we decided it might be best if he saw someone. Of course he protested but he finally relented. It's good cos in just two weeks he's made some progress. He doesn't flinch when one of us hugs him anymore. He told me too. What he felt, what he was thinking when he ran off. He just... he needed to clear things up in his mind. He says that now he feels like its safe to move on and be a member of the family. Which is good because we need him now. Just like I know he needs us.

"Hey," I hear softly from my side. I glance over and see greenlee watching me with curios eyes.

"Hey," I respond. We're laying across my bed just relaxing, enjoying being around each other.

"What are you thinkin' about?" she asks. I shrug.

"Nothin' really. Just remembering what's been going on recently." I reply honestly. She leans up on her elbow and faces me, resting a hand on my stomach. I try to keep my breathing under control.

"I know things have been....tough lately," she pauses. "But I wouldn't trade the past few weeks, months even, for any thing." she says. I smile and rest a hand on top of hers. "I hope you know I mean that Kendall." she says. I nod.

"I know. I feel the same." I say softly. We take a few moments to stare at each other.

"Mom! Binks is here!" I hear. I roll my eyes.

"I've told him no yelling in the house but what does he do? Yell his lungs out." I say. Greenlee smiles and follows me from the room. I smile at Maggie and Bianca as they settle on the sofa with Nic fussing over them.

Bianca pov.

Nic, I love the kid to death but I swear, I'm going to beat him with something.

"Stop!" I yell. He pauses and looks up at me with innocent eyes. Oh yeah, you're not the one who just tried to fight Maggie over who was gonna prop up my feet. I'm on to you little man, I think.

"Huh?" and he has the nerve to try and sound innocent.

"Nic, I'm fine." I say to settle him. He pouts. Yep, he's greenlee's brother. I roll my eyes. "Well, I am a little thirsty," I start.

"I'll get it!" and he's gone. I can't help but smile at his enthusiasm. Our family is falling together slowly.

"Look at them," Maggie says gesturing towards Kendall and Greenlee who are standing off in their own little world. Maybe my family is getting closer than I thought....

Across Pine Valley

Krystal pov.

Oh my lord. David. It's him! I know he's Babe's daddy but...how....that night. That party, I was... oh god. He can't know. I can't let him find out cos he'll try an turn my baby-doll against me. Its always been me and her against the world and I just can't bear the thought of her listening to him. He doesn't like me, this much I know. Actually, he thinks I'm trailer trash. Just cos I don't have a... a fancy education or didn't go to school for ten extra years I'm not worthy of his presence. Hell, I raised a little girl all on my own and what has he done!? Nothin' that's what. I gotta get to my baby-doll and now. I knock on the door to the Chandler mansion... nice place and wait for an answer.

"Who are you?" oh this little pop tart doesn't know how to talk to a lady?!

"JR, whose at the door?" I hear. I gasp as Babe comes into view. "Mama?! I can't believe you're here!" she says excitedly. I smile and hug her closely and pull back.

"Look at you Baby-Doll. Let me get a look at yo-" she's,

"Mama, JR And I are havin' a baby." she says proudly. "JR This is my mama, Krystal Carey, mama this is my husband, JR Chandler." she says. The pop tart smile with his blond hair and perfect teeth. I hate him.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Carey. Sorry about before," he says with a sheepish smile gesturing towards the door. I nod.

"Same here. Listen Babe, why don't we get outta here. Show ya mama around the town she's gonna be callin home." I say. Her eyes widen.

"You're stayin'?! Oh my god I can't believe this!" she squeals. "Come on in, Mama. I gotta get dressed you can just wait in mine and JR room." she says leading me inside. Really nice place. I follow my ecstatic daughter. Maybe not tellin her about David just yet is the smart thing to do. I mean, he doesn't even know and I've been livin' close to him for weeks.
