Chapter 7 – Sister Ambitions

Bianca flew in at 4 am in the morning. Her and Mimo had just arrived at the Casino. Mimo was fast asleep and had been most of the flight. Binks hadn't bothered to even stop off at Myrtles, Kendall would need her first thing. Her unhappiness with her mother had hit whole new levels that Bianca didn't even know was possible and she had called her Uncle Bobby from the airplane to fill him in.

Eddie met her in the lobby. "How bad was it?" Bianca asked.

"Horrible, if you didn't love your mother so much I would figure out a way to off that bitch and dispose of the body." Eddie said in frusturation. "I have never seen Kendall cry except in the hospital when she thought Zach died, but this was worse if that is even possible. I spoke to a prenatal specialist from Harborview Hospital in NYC who is the top of his field and gave him a rough estimate of her pregnancy. He said it is really important that she takes time off work and works through some of her stronger emotions. Being upset while pregnant can lead to severe issues as the pregnancy proceeds, even immature labor and miscarriage."

"I should have known you would have contacted a specialist." Bianca said with a slight smile as they got on the elevator. "And I am close to changing my mind on my own mother, which is pathetic. If it comes down to it, I'll let you know. Where is she?"

"Zach talked her back to the suite, and got her to go to sleep. I am not sure who she is seeing for prenatal otherwise I would of made them do a home call." Eddie said in irritation. "And of course he doesn't want to upset her further and refuses to allow a physician to be called."

"I think it is probably a good call for now, that would just upset Kendall more at the moment. I will make him convince her to go in a couple days." Bianca assured Eddie as they exited the elevator and opened the suite's door. There were two bedrooms in the suite. Usually Kendall used the secondary bedroom, but Bianca knew that Zach wouldn't leave her alone right now. She and Eddie said their good byes and parted ways to compare notes later in the day.

Bianca pushed the master door open a crack and heard the soft deep breaths of her sister and Zach. They were so screwed, she thought happy and sad at the same time. Sad for her sister's break with their mother and glad that Zach was finally going to take command of her sister's love life. This ridiculous – we're not really married stuff needed to stop.

Bianca put Mimo to sleep in the spare room and then texted Eddie requesting coffee and promising her eternal devotion if that were possible.

"Binks?" Kendall said in surprise when she went to sneak out around 5:30 AM.

"I got a few calls and figured it would be better to come here first." Bianca said firmly getting up from the sofa to hug her older sister.

"It's not a big deal…" "Excuse me, you cried kiddo. Eddie told me." Bianca cut her off. Giving her sister a level stare. " I know you Kendall and it is a huge deal. I got calls from Zach, Eddie, and Jack, but you didn't call me at all. It isn't always sunshine for either one of us. I expect a phone call from you during the tough times too. And especially when Myrtle calls and tells me you're pregnant."

"I am not…gah!" Kendall said in frusturation. Making Binks have to grin. Her older sister got irritated quickly when someone called her on reality.

Zach stepped out of the spare room holding Mimo. Bink's little girl was rubbing her eyes and said softly "Unk'Ach"

"Ah! She remembers you!" Binks said with a laugh. Zach looked at Mimo in such surprise. Mimo had never said his name before. It was a new first for Mimo. "I'll take her, I am sure she is hungry and the two of you need to have a discussion if what Simone texted me is true. Preferably one where little ears are a safe distance away." She said with a grin.

Kendall looked at her in confusion as she gave Zach a kiss on the cheek and took Mimo from him.

When Binks was out the door, Kendall turned to him and said, "What was that about?"

"You're on hiatus from work for a couple weeks." Zach told her firmly.

"NO, I am not." Kendall said angrily. "Last I checked you don't make decisions for me Zach."

He gripped her arms and pulled her close. She struggled against him. "You're on hiatus and you will work from home for two weeks."

"No I am not." "Kendall – I am not asking you." Her husband said as his cold face descended, she usually wasn't privy to it anymore. He saw the further upset and pulled her against him. "Do you really want your mother and Jack to drop in off and on for the next two weeks upsetting you daily about the argument you had."

"Nothing is wrong." "Stop it." He said giving her a little shake. "Stop it, do you hear me?" He asked firmly. She trembled hard and he held her close to him tucking her against his collar bone. "You're on hiatus. It has been a rough month and a half and it's time for a break." He whispered as he kissed her softly and gently – coaxing her into responding to him.
