Scotty knew why the reasons behind why Christina had smacked him. Although, what her outburst grew to such severity that she had been sedated. He left the facility, shortly after Paul Cooper had arrived. Christina needed him more than him at the moment, besides the fact that Scotty was needed back at headquarters anyways.

Across town, Lilly was already at home; not entirely thrilled that her father was there. Since there was nothing that he could do at the moment, to help Christina. He felt the tension, but understood there reasons for why, " You can't blame yourself, I'm the one that still blames myself."

Lilly sighed," Part of it is from Cliff abusing her. Chris made a poor choice, not to say that the other half is from our childhood. The way that we grew up, I can't blame someone whose dead," meaning her mother," Anyway, can't change what she did."

That was something that Lilly had learned how to accept, " When you left, Chris was only three years old. I think the hurt hit home, the day you came back to takes us both to the beach. Why did you come back only to leave again not to mention never seeing you until later in our lives?"

She felt the anger rising, but had managed to keep it under control," Might as well not have shown up. Did you not realize what it did to us?"

As Paul sat down on the soft beside her, he exhaled softly," I didn't realize what I did to you two that day."

" You yelled at Chris, when she began to cry. I stood there watching knowing that I was right about you going to leave again. It hurt, especially once the front door slammed shut. Of course Mom does nothing in the way of comforting us; but instead has a drink."

By now, Paul's own guilty was rising. He had been a terrible father to both his eldest daughters," I remember seeing that anger on your face, inside you were hurting just as bad. Didn't see what damage until I sobered up."

Lilly wasn't going to blame him for everything, besides he actually cleaned up his act and straighten out his life, whereas her mother didn't, " Chris was always in trouble, the reason why I always pushed her away. She's messed up, one of the reason as to why I don't take Amanda in to visit her. She doesn't need to see her mother that way."

Paul couldn't agree more," You have every right not to, Christina can't be around her own child, for emotional reasons. She had to be sedated, she even hit your partner in his face. He figured it was best to call me, I guess knowing that you had your hands full between work and caring for Amanda."

" Scotty did the right thing," which Lilly understand and wasn't angry at him for not calling her, " You should go back, be with Chris. She needs to have someone there, besides Scotty and I. "

Even after he had left, it didn't stop her from thinking about her sister. By nightfall, she felt glad once Scotty had arrived. They both were equally exhausted, but happy to be with one another. Neither brought up the case or Christina for that matter.

Instead, just sat down together on the couch," I know you wanted us to be together. Felt l rejected you and slept with her. Truth is you are like blood to me Lil; family. You're my sister, it feels that way. Always has, and also my best friend. "

Lilly felt honored but as her head rested down onto his shoulder, she felt comforted and safe by him. She knew that he always be there for her to confide in," I don't think that dad fully sees what's really going on. The damage that's been done."

" I think he does Lil, but also sees that you and Chris don't trust him. He's not going to leave, he has a life and a family of his own. On the other hand, since he's been back, you do seem happier. You worried all these years where he was, yet you still love him."

She hated to admit this but Scotty always knew what she was thinking," It's not the trust, just that Dad has never once mentioned Chris to me. Not even in the letter that he sent to me when I was fifteen or when I found him. It's like she never existed, or that he's not her real father."

" Is he aware of her history?"

" Apparently not, yet I never mentioned her to him either. It's a bit odd, to ask about your ex but not about your other daughter."

Scotty knew that Lilly was going through a lot right now emotionally. Only that she was able to trust him enough to open up about her own feelings. He knew how to be a good friend and help her," If he has secrets, he needs to come clean and share. Chris will heal better if she knew the truth, and you also knowing would also help."

That was going to be another problem," Finn told me that Celeste was pissed at him when he informed her about Chris. The two had a major fight, I think he's also keeping secrets about his past from is other family."

" Maybe he doesn't want to relive the past. Yet, is the only parent that you had left."

Lilly was sick of her father and his secrets, in fact she wanted to get him to spit everything out. Scotty prevented her from headed down there," He's not one of our suspects Lil, you can't just yell at him and expect him to confess. You have every right to know but that isn't the way."

" No but I don't want a liar around my niece!," Lilly yelled angrily, " What's even worse is why Chris and I never had his last time. Maybe he's not even my real father either," realizing that her emotions were getting the best of her.

As she started to calm down, she knew that Scotty was right, "Crap, I let myself get carried away."

" It's late Lil, how about you get some sleep. Been a long day for both of us."

The two hugged before Scotty left, after that Lilly went upstairs to check on Amanda before heading into the bathroom. She had no idea about certain relationship that she was about to rekindle and about all the dark secrets, her father was keeping.
