Laura's Loft

August 9th

6:00 PM

Kaylee had been so excited about meeting another sister that Laura was forced to make the call right away. To pass the time Laura and Kaylee sat on the couch just talking.

"So, what happened with your mom?" Laura asked tentatively.

Kaylee paled a little but knew she had to talk about it eventually, "Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer about a year ago." Kaylee explained, "She went through chemo and all those treatments but nothing worked. The cancer finally spread to her heart and the doctors said they could do nothing but numb the pain." Kaylee let a tear or maybe two fall down her face as she studied the couch cushion.

Laura lifted her face up by putting two fingers under her chin. Carefully she brushed away her sisters tears, "I am so sorry Kaylee. That's awful."

"It's okay Laura." Kaylee said forcing a weak smile to her face. Laura wrapped an arm around the girl and pulled Kaylee's head to rest on her shoudler, "So what's up with you and Remington?"

Laura thought for a moment, "I think we should wait until Mr. Steele is here to tell you that story. It's his as much as mine." Laura said evasively

Kaylee and Laura sat in silence for a few more minutes until someone knocked on the door, "Coming coming coming." Laura called as she walked briskly towards the door. Throwing it open she was greeted by a pair of sparkling blue eyes and a wide smile, "Well you certainly aren't Frances."

"I would hope not Laura." Mr. Steele said as he strutted past her, "Hello Kaylee." he said to the girl on the couch.

"Hey Remington." Kaylee replied as she stood to go find her notebook and pencils.

"What are you diong here Mr. Steele?" Laura asked with her hands on her hips.

"I didn't think we needed to subject the poor girl to your culinary skills just yet." Remington said as he moved toward the kitchen.

"My cookings not that bad..." she muttered to herself as she sat on her counter.

"So what was that about Frances?" Remington asked as he started rummaging around Laura's kitchen.

"She should be here soon. I wanted her to meet Kaylee." Laura explained as she watched him, "I was thinking...we should tell Kaylee everything. About me and you, the agency, Remington Steele. Everything."

Remington stopped what he was doing and just stared at her, "Are you sure? Do you really want to?"

"She deserves to know." Laura explained, "She asked me today what our relationship was and I realized I can't adequetly describe it without explaining about everything."

"As long as you are okay with it I'll go along Laura." Remington explained as he came to stand in front of her.

"Thank you." She said kissing his cheek. Just then a knock sounded at the door, "Now THAT would be Frances." she jumped up and pulled the door open quickly.

Frances beamed at her sister, "Laura!" she said as the two hugged.

"Hi Frances." Laura replied.

"Okay I'm here now, what's so important you can't tell me over the phone?" Frances then noticed Mr. Steele in the kitchen, "Are you and Remington...?"

Laura looked confused for a second before she realized what her sister was asking, "No it has nothing to do with our relationship. I wanted you to meet someone."

Laura then spent the next fifteen minutes explaining everything to Frances. All about Kaylee and her life and how she had found Laura.

"Oh my God..." Frances whispered slowly as the news sunk in.

"I know it's a lot Frances." Laura tried to sooth.

"Can I meet her?" Frances asked eagerly.

"Of course you can." Laura said enthusiastically, "Just let me get her." Laura jumped up from the couch and headed to her room, which Kaylee occupied until they moved. She walked in to find her little sister hunched over a note pad as she sat on the middle of the bed, "Whatcha got there?"

Kaylee looked up, "Just a drawing..." she said embarassed.

"Can I see?" Laura asked as she sat on the bed.

Kaylee blushed but handed it over. Laura couldn't help but gasp. The drawing was the most beautiful wedding dress Laura had ever seen, "Wow."

Kaylee's blush deepened, "I know it's not that good but I never can seem to perfect it."

"Are you kidding?" Laura asked shocked, "I'd wear this to my wedding in a heartbeat. It's amazing."

Kaylee gave her a shy smile, "Thanks Laura."

Laura smiled back at her, "Come on Frances wants to meet you."

Kaylee took a deep breath and prepared herself to meet another sister. She silently followed Laura to the main part of the apartment. Frances looked up and gave her a warm smile. Kaylee smiled back nervously, "Hi Kaylee." Frances said as they sat down.

"Hi." Kaylee said back.

Frances studied her for a moment, "She's got the same hair as you Laura."

Laura smiled. The small moment was broken apart by Mr. Steele walking in, "Ladies, dinner is served."
