Chpt 14

It was almost Seven o'clock and she stepped out of the bathroom. Taking one look at the bedroom and the mess Kerry had created. She remained calm, knowing no good would come of being angry.

She walked downstairs to where Kerry was sitting, his mother was going to arrive soon. He had his eyes close and his hand to his head, probably a hangover from last night.

"We should be going, once your mom get's here" she said hoping he'd look up. He kept his head down and didn't flinch. She grabbed her purse and heard a knock on the door. Walking over she opened the door, seeing Martha had arrived.

"Grace is asleep she should be down for a while, so maybe she won't be too much trouble" Kris smiled.

"Kerry.." his mother spoke. He then turned his attention upon her. Kris a bit upset because he wouldn't answer to her, when she asked.

"You alright? I mean should you really be going out?" his mother asked in concern.

"He'll be fine" She said before he had time to reply. Sick of him being treated as if he did nothing wrong, and all innocent. Kerry stood up and walked out of the door, he shut the door quietly, but rushed to Kris. He grabbed her by the arm. Her back to him, he whispered in her ear

"Never do that again." She snatched her arm away.

The drive to the restaurant was long and silent. Once they arrived, a waiter showed them to a table. Most of them had arrive except for Pablo.

Kerry and Kris sat across from Junior and Lilly. Kris caught a small look at Junior, it was much more harder for her to be with here than she thought. Everyday her feelings grew more and more for him. Her lust grew as well, she knew that she couldn't be with him. Taking a sip of her water, she moved her hand from Kerry's grip.

Dani sat a little bit away from them, but she saw the looks Junior and Kris gave one another.

She sat back and took a look at Lilly, who looked at her, placing her finger over her mouth in a quiet sign.

Dani hated living the lies, was it really worth it. She could find another job if not in another career, she lived with her conscious everyday.

Junior excused himself from the table, he needed to make a quick phone call. Dani saw Lilly distracted by her sister, and made a quick get away.

She followed him out to his car.

"Junior" she said, running as quick as she could in heels. Holding his phone to his ear, he turned around.

"Wait a second" he whispered to her. She stood up against his vehicle and waited patiently for him.

Back Inside, Lilly finished her conversation with her sister.

"Well I'm going to get going, I really should be heading back" Alex said, walking out. As Lilly watched her leave she hadn't noticed Dani had left.

Junior hung up his phone to turn to talk to his sister.

"So what's up?" he asked, he could tell it had to be important.

"There is something you need to know" taking a step closer. Alex was walking across the parking lot, she saw Junior and Dani talking, it looked like a deep conversation. Ignoring it, she unlocked her car and drove on.

"What I'm going to tell you will change everything. You might hate me for not telling you sooner, but I hope you can forgive me at some point" she said.

"Hate you.. What is so important?"

"Grace, she's.."

"She's what?" he asked impatiently.

"Grace isn't Kerry's, She's yours" she spit out quickly. He gave her an extremely odd look.

"Okay sis, I think you've had a bit much to drink" he said.

"NO" she shouted "She is yours" she thought her brother would be confused but happy, instead of questioning her.

"Your serious aren't you?" he could tell by the look in her eyes and the tone of her voice she was more serious about this than anything.

She nodded,

"I only found out the other day, I should of told you sooner but Lilly she threatened my job." not that it should excuse for what she did. Junior was her brother, her blood.

In no way should he have been hurt.

"Lilly knew?" he yelled walking past her and toward the restaurant.

"Apparently so, I was going to tell you, that day you were at the hospital"

He began walking, nearly running to the restaurant.

"Junior, STOP" she shouted running to him.

"I'm going to go tell her, if that is my baby then Kris and I can finally be together" he stood staring deep into Dani's eyes. She could tell he was hurt by her, but she had a plan.

"Just wait, I have a plan. Something where you too can be told together instead of in front of Kerry or Lilly, they'll only outrange in anger and make it more difficult."

He looked away for a minute then nodded.

"Just go back inside, I'll call Kris for a minute to the bathroom, then page you. Pretend like it's a phone call you need to take, then Kris and I can come outside." she said walking back inside with him.

Lilly sensed something was unusual.

"Everything alright?" she asked Junior.

"Yes, just a phone call from work" he smiled. He then realized how Kris must of felt when she faked smiled.

Lilly then felt better.

"Kris" Dani said. "Do you mind if I borrow some foundation, I was expecting to meet up with someone afterwards and I'm out" she said lying.

"Oh of course" she said getting up grabbing her purse. They headed to the Ladies Room.

Kris began to search in her purse,

"Here you go" she said handing it to Dani.

"Thanks, but I lied, it's actually something else" Dani began to dial Junior's beeper. He sat at the table waiting for his beeper to go off, the moment he felt it vibrate he took a look.

"Sorry another phone call" he said getting up.

He rushed outside, and found Dani and Kris waiting outside.

"Ok so what's going on?" Kris asked confused.

"It's about Grace" Dani said.

"What about her?" Kris asking nervously.

"Oh, nothings wrong" Dani reassured "She's not Kerry's though, Junior is the real father" Dani said.

She felt her heart stop, it was like a dream it felt so real.

"Are you sure?" she asked, it couldn't be real.

"Positive, the charts at the hospital are how I found out actually. Grace and Junior have the same blood type, I did a double check so I sure" she said.

For a moment, she thought it was only what she wanted to hear, but Dani was serious. She wasn't thinking, she just grabbed Junior and kissed him, passionately. More passionately than she had ever kissed him in a long time. Dani smiled, and didn't interrupt. She knew it had been a while, since they shared a kiss. The embrace of the kiss was long but they pulled away.

"I think, that you should wait before you tell people" Dani spoke.

"We've waited for this, why keep it back any longer" Junior spoke.

"I'm just saying, Kris needs to get things out of the house. That way she won't have to come back with Kerry there. Just say you want to go home, I'll be happy to drive you and pretend like I need to get something before I go on my supposedly date."

"Yeah, she's right Kerry will be mad and outrage I want Grace to be safe" Kris said to Junior. He nodded and walked back inside. Dani and Kris waited so it wouldn't look so obvious.

They arrived back inside and pretended to have been caught up in a talk about her date.

Kris looked at Junior, wanting to smile she kept it back. She placed her hand to her head,

"Kerry I don't feel so good" she said.

"Well I should be getting ready for my date, thanks for inviting me" Dani said getting up, she grabbed her purse.

"Dani, would you mind dropping me off at the house?" she asked as the plan.

"I can take you" Kerry said.

"Oh it's fine Kerry, I can take her" Dani smiled.

"You don't mind?" asking politely.

"Nope" Dani shook her head, Kris kissed Kerry and headed out. After getting inside Dani's car she started the engine and began driving.

"I never meant to hurt you or Junior, or keep it a lie" Dani said she glimpsed and Kris who was staring out the window.

It was silent, but Kris then spoke,

"It's okay, it's not like you knew for a while" Kris said, she was to happy to hate Dani.

They arrive at the house, and Kris got out quickly,

"If you need anything just call" Dani said. Kris smiled and nodded, she unlocked the door.

Martha was sitting on the couch, enjoying the book she had brought to read. Kris saw her and just the door.

"Back already?" Martha ask taking a look at the clock.

"I didn't feel good so I came home, but you can leave now. Kerry stayed he had some manager stuff to do" Kris tried to not sound too overjoy, she was faking to be sick. Faking was her usual thing and had gotten used to it.

"Well I can stay and you can nap while Kerry is out" Martha said,

"No, it's alright you should get home before it begans to get late" Kris said. She was trying not to be rude, seeing as how Kerry or any of Kerry's family was no longer her family. Martha nodded and left.

Kris rushed upstairs and grabbed a bag inside her closet. She didn't take much time in packing her clothes. She grabbed things from her drawers and things hanging in her closet. After filling one duffle bag she began packing the other.

Rolling the suitcase down the steps she packed them in her car. There wasn't much things in the house besides clothes and pictures of hers. She rushed back up the steps and packed most of Grace's things besides the furniture in suitcase. She placed her things in the back of her car along with her possessions.

She had gotten all the things she needed packed and was ready to leave this house for good.

She took a sheet of paper from the den and wrote Kerry a note, explaining everything and telling him the engagement was off.

The long note seem like forever but she completed it, after placing the note on the kitchen table next to a bottle of wine. If he went for his midnight drinks he'd find it along with the engagement ring.

Hey guys, I'm VERY sorry for not updating sooner! I have been on vacation and when I came home I rested some and tried to write a bit each day.

I hope you like this chapter and I'm home from vacation for a while so I should have a new chapter up soon!
