Chapter 5
"Britney, what are you doing here?" asked Starr, trying to keep it civil since Hope was with her.
"You just really think you can live your little fantasy, huh Starr? Britney said again.
"Why are you being mean to my mommy?" asked Hope, though in a serious tone.
Starr and Britney looked at Hope, and then Britney said, "Oh nothing little one. Nothing," And then Britney just walked off.
"I don't like that woman, Mommy," said Hope.
"Its okay, Hope," said Starr, as she lowered herself down to Hope's level. "You just don't pay any attention to her."
"Don't pay any attention to who?" asked Cole, who came out of the elevator, clutching a bag that held Starr's prescription.
"I'll tell you later," said Starr, nodding an eye toward Hope. Cole immediately caught on and nodded to let Starr knew he understood.
"Wow, it seems like she is still living in the past," said Cole. It was in the afternoon, and Starr had just finished telling Cole what happened in the parking garage. They were both in the living room on the couch. Hope was in her room playing.
"Yeah, I know," said Starr. "Luckily she decided to back off. I really didn't want to put Hope in that kind of situation."
Cole was silent for a few seconds or two, before he said, "Well, maybe its time that I try to get her to back off."
"You sure that's going to work?" asked Starr.
"Oh trust me, she's going to regret the day she came back to Llanview, or when she decided to mess with my family," said Cole. Starr just smiled as she scooted closer to her husband and laid her body on him.
The next day, Cole was heading up to Britney's apartment; he looked it up to see where she was staying. He finally found it and knocked.
"Just a minute," Britney called out from the apartment. Cole could hear a lot of muffled noise in there. Then the door finally opened and Britney revealed herself.
"Cole, what a surprise. Why don't you come in?" Britney offered.
"I was hoping you would do that, because I got some things to discuss with you," Cole said in a serious tone.
"Really? And may I ask what these things are?" asked Britney, in a sick sweet tone.
"How about the fact that you are messing with my wife?" said Cole, crossing his arms.
"Your wife?" Britney said, confused.
"Yeah, you know, Starr; the mother of my child?" said Cole.
"Oh, that's right. I did hear that," said Britney. "Well, what did she use to get you hooked into her claws, if you don't mind me asking?"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Cole.
"I mean, what tricks did she use to convince you that little one is yours?" asked Britney.
Cole just laughed and said, "You are really being delusional, you know that?"
"I'm being delusional? How so?" said Britney.
"Because that little girl you saw in the garage is mine and Starr's. And yes, Starr told me what you said in the hospital parking garage yesterday," said Cole.
"Well, maybe you better see if she is telling the truth-" but Cole stopped her right there.
"I don't care, Britney. Starr and I love each other, along with our daughter. I have been married to her for 2 years, and I do not plan to leave her side at all. Now you need to stop this childish act now, or otherwise you wish would have." And just like that, Cole headed out of the apartment.
Britney just stood staring at the door when someone came out of another room. "He really thinks that he has Starr roped to him, huh?" It was James.
"Yep he does," said Britney. "But don't worry, once I get him away from her, you can have her and try to wake her up and see that she loves you more.
"Well, I do have to let you know something. It's about their little girl," said James.
"Oh yeah, and what's that?" said Britney.
"She really is her and Cole's biologically," said James.
"Wow!" said Britney, though not surprised. "Well, I wonder if Cole may have fooled her into doing it."
"Well, like you said, once we get them separated, they won't be thinking about each other anymore, and they'll come to us real quick," said James.
"Yep, and then I can get the life that I'm supposed to have with Cole," said Britney.
Cole entered into the police station and sat down, seeing what needed to be done. That is when John walked up.
"Hey, man. You're here a little early."
"Well, I had to take care of something before I had to come in, so I left home real early," said Cole.
"Sounds serious," John said, noticing Cole's tone.
"Yeah, it is. Britney back and she's already tried to mess with Starr twice," said Cole. "I just came from her place and told her off about what she's doing."
"Well, hey, if there is anything I can do, let me know," said John. Cole nodded and said thanks.
"Excuse me, Detective?" a nearby officer said. "I have the sketch of that woman who broke that patient out." He then produced a pencil sketch of the suspect.
"Thanks, Roberts," said John. The officer then walked away.
"Wow, whoever this girl is, she must have planned this ahead of time, because from the looks of it, she doesn't look strong enough to take that guard down by herself," said John.
Cole stood up and saw the sketch, which was a woman that wore long black glasses and wavy hair, though it was tied up in the back.
John saw that Cole was thinking of something. "Something else on your mind?" he asked.
"I don't know," said Cole. "I just think I've seen that face before, but I'm not sure where."
"Well, if you can figure it out, let me know," said John. Cole smiled and then sat back down and got back to work, while John went in his office.
Starr was at work also, wiping the tables clean as there was going to be a big night out tonight at Capricorn. Blair walked in and saw that her daughter was really wiping them.
"Hey, sweetie, you might want to take it easy there," said Blair.
"Sorry," said Starr. "I'm just kind of on edge right now."
"What's wrong?' asked Blair. "Did something happen between you and Cole?"
"Oh, no, we're fine, Mom," said Starr. "It's just someone else who's the problem."
"Oh honey," said Blair, "I know you're worried about James, but they'll find him and get him locked back up."
"Well, I am a little worried about him, but I wasn't talking about him," Starr said as she gathered up the cleaning the supplies and brought them to the back.
"Well, then who are you on edge with?" asked Blair.
Starr took a long deep breath and sighs and then said, "Its Britney."
Blair looked shocked. "Hold on, are we talking about Britney Jennings, the same girl who gave you trouble during your freshman year of high school?" she asked.
"And still doing it today," Starr added.
"Wow. I never expected her to come back," said Blair.
"None of us did, Mom," said Starr. "I been approached by her twice just in the last few days, and one of them was when I had the first ultrasound of the baby."
"Hmm, well, if she gives you trouble, you let me know," Blair said, putting her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Because I don't let no one mess with my daughter, especially now that she's got another little one coming." She moved her hand down to Starr's stomach.
"Yeah, this little one here is what keeps me going," said Starr. "You want to see the sonograms?"
"Well, of course I want to see the sonograms," said Blair. "I mean I am going to be this kid's grandma, so I do want to see pictures of him or her/"
Starr just laughed as she and her mom walked over to her purse so she could show the pictures to her mom. Blair could not help but love them. There is always something wonderful about seeing a new life growing to come into the world.
Later on that night, in Britney's apartment, James was in the room he was staying in, looking at a picture of Starr. He said as quietly as he could, "Don't you worry, Starr. Soon you won't have to listen to anymore of his lies, and then you can see that we are destined to be with each other." He then put the picture down and went to sleep, thinking about the plan he and Britney were planning to get what they wanted.
A/N: Wow, Britney definitely being a jerk, but it looks like its going to take more then that to take down Starr and Cole. Stay tuned.
