Nothing really interesting had happen when James and Ari were at dinner. They had pizza at this really good Italian place, they got mobbed by a group of fans, and surprisingly, no press of any type had showed up.

After dinner, they headed to the theatre. They had missed most of the early show-ers, so they didn't have to wait in line to be taken to their seats. They probably could have done it themselves; they had been to so many performances there.

They sat in the order: Jude, Max, Ari, and James on the end. The show had gone well, and Coca had blown the crowd away with her performance as 'Molly'; her singing skills no doubt had taken after her parents. Her dancing skills she got from her Aunt Sadie. And, once again Jude had to try not and cry when she heard Coca singing; G-d, she sounded so much like her father Jude had thought.

Tomorrow

Is only

A day

Away!

The entire cast of 'Annie' sang together. As they finished, they all took their individual bows, and a final one together before exiting the stage.

"Ari, can you get Coca?" Jude asked her daughter, "I'm going to go get the car,"

"Sure Mom," Ari told her Mom, as she made her way to the backstage of the theatre.

Ari, got as close as she was allowed to the dressing rooms, when Coca appeared with the girl who played 'Annie', laughing.

"Hey Coca!" Ari called.

Coca and 'Annie' walked towards Ari.

"Anna!" Coca said, "this is Amelia, Amelia this is Anna," she introduced the two.

"Coca's your daughter?" Amelia asked.

Ari tried hard not to laugh.

"This is my sister!" Coca corrected her friend.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Amelia blushed with embarrassment, as she put two and two together (Coca Quincy; Anna, Coca's sister). "You're Anna- Rita Quincy?"

Ari smiled again, "yeah I am,"

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Sure," Ari agreed, as Amelia handed her a pen and a snotebook.

"You did some pretty awesome performances as 'Annie', can I have your autograph?" Ari asked back politely.

Amelia beamed, "yes!'

After they both handed back their notebooks and pens, Ari spoke again, "Sorry to cut this short, but Coca, Mom's going to wonder what happened to us,"

"Alright," Coca agreed, knowing that staying any longer wasn't worth worrying her mother over. "Bye Amelia, don't forget to email!" Coca said, as the two hugged.

"I won't, you don't forget either, okay?"

"Okay, bye!" And with that Ari and Coca went to find their Mother.

Jude had to wait a while before she could exit the theatre, because she was at the front of the theatre. When the crowd finally lightened, she saw a familiar face in the crowd, but he was with another woman. Ugh!

So, she decided to call his name, if not for his sake, but to make the woman jealous. She could still do that if she wanted to.

"Tommy!" she called, "Tommy! Tommy!" The third time he finally turned his head.

"Jude?" he asked to himself quietly.

"Who?" the younger woman next to him asked.

"Jude," Tommy repeated.

"Your ex-wife?" Angela asked him.

"Yeah," Tommy confirmed, looking down at his shoes.

"You still love her, don't you?"

"No," Tommy replied, not looking at Angela in the eye.

"Talk to her!" Angela pushed him lightly in Jude's direction, almost bumping into her.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey," he said back. G-d, why did she always make me feels this way.

"How've you uh..."

"Been?" Tommy suggested.

"Yeah," she confirmed.

But, the two were interrupted.

"Mom! Weren't we meet-----" Ari cut herself off when she saw who her Mother was talking to. "Hi," she said blandly.

"Hi," he said back, looking at Jude's left hand ring finger. Damn! She has a ring on it! And who's that little girl next to her? Wait, didn't she play Molly? What was her name? I should have looked! "So, are you... uh... married?" he asked, looking at the little girl beside Jude.

"Hardly!" Jude sniffed, not making eye contact with Jude.

"And, uh... who's-----""

The little girl cut off Tommy.

"Mommy, who's this?" Coca asked.

"This honey, is your Daddy," Jude told Coca calmly, "Tom, this is your daughter Carolina,"

Tommy bent down to Coca's height, "Hi there Carolina," Tommy said, "I'm your Daddy,"

Coca sniffed, "your not my Daddy! Daddy made Mommy cry! I hate you!" With that, Coca stormed away from the others, and Ari, Max, and James took off after her.

"I'm sorry Jude," Tommy said, "Why didn't she like me?" he asked.

"You've been absent her whole life Tom, you can't just expect her to forgive you,"

"Can't you make her like me?" Tommy asked. Why does he make me feel this way? Jude wondered to herself, praying that she wouldn't make the facts that she still loved him and didn't give up on him too evident.

"I can't do that," Jude paused, as she began to walk away.

"Jude!" Tommy tried to stop Jude, but she didn't stop, "Please Jude, I want to get to know my daughter, and be able to see Max and Ari outside of magazines!"

Jude finally turned around.

"The Night Sun Lounge, eleven PM. Miss it? I don't care, it's your only chance if you ever want to meet Coca again," Jude said sharply, and continued after her three children.
