The day ended and Kate and Rick were so glad to leave. They got in the car and drove to the loft. Alexis was there to greet them. She had on the news.
"Hi There they are talking about you on the news" Alexis said.
"Yeah and what about are they saying?" Rick asked as he grabbed a bunch of grapes in a bowl and sat down to eat them.
"Well they are speculating on how fast you and Mom are doing on this task force and the recent raids at Xe Corp has got some whistleblower types on the blogosphere. Also your website for your book is going crazy. Mom you're a hit." Alexis said.
"That is great Alexis" Rick said as he shared some grapes but grabbed the controller and lowered the volume.
"Pumpkin, I had an appt tomorrow for your hearing problem. A friend of your mother's heard about your condition. We have an appt at 10am ok?" Rick said to his daughter.
"Oh that is so cool Mom how do you know him?" Alexis asked Kate as she appeared with her nuts and berries.
"Who…? Rick?" Kate asked.
"Dr Berry" Rick responded.
"Dr. Berry…? Really Rick I remember lots of doctors" Kate said.
"Maybe one too many" Rick muttered thinking about one in particular.
"Hush Rick I swear how can you be jealous. I am puking my guts out for you and your demon spawns!" Kate said.
"Whoops I think I forgot my Anthro homework got a go!" Alexis said jumping up.
"Kate I am so sorry I really did not like that low life arrogant Doctor!" Rick said.
"Yeah He was really an arrogant git wasn't he?" Kate smirked then the news was forgotten all together and a make out session was going hot and heavy when the doorbell ran.
Alexis rushed down to answer. Kate and Rick separated as Alexis brought the dinner out to the table.
Everyone rushed to the table. It was like everyone was missing then next minute then they were all there! Magic must be part of this household Kate thought.
Rick kind of liked having a full household. It was so different.
Soon the conversation wound back to Alexis' appt with the ear specialist.
"As I was saying Alexis the appt with Dr. Berry was with your Mother's in California special friend." Rick said.
When Alexis heard the two words 'Special Friends' she knew that it was someone her mother used to sleep with. Alexis could not decide if that was ew worthy or not until Rick said.
"She slept with him until she found out she slept with the wrong twin brother! It was Aaron Berry who as the plastic surgeon Not Timothy Berry the ear specialist!" Rick said.
"Oh I remember seeing cards from him during the holidays I spent with her." Alexis said.
"Yeah he seems to be keeping a torch for your mother. Who knows she might marry him!" Rick said.
"Well if you ask me all that woman did for your life Richard was give us the greatest gift of all our Alexis. Other than that she is worth as much as last night's trash." Martha said.
Kate raised an eyebrow when she saw Jackson holding Martha's hand.
Jackson noticed her seeing them just smirked at her. Kate recognized that smirk she had seen it on her husband's face many times.
"Come on Mother tell us what you really feel about Meredith?" Rick said.
"Not in polite company Richard!" Martha said.
Alexis had to smirk about the antics of both Rick and Martha.
Jim looked a little shocked that Rick's ex wife's exploits were even being discussed. Kate on the other hand loved seeing the dynamic between Mother and Son.
Colin spoke up.
"Hey these discussions are nothing. Between Gertrude my Mum and Sarah my sister the topics they talk about would cause this room to combust." Colin said.
Rick looked at his Dad
"You married a woman named Gertrude?" Rick said.
"Well it seemed to be the right idea at the time." Jackson said.
"Oh let me guess…You got the poor woman pregnant!" Martha said in a huff.
Martha left the dinner and ran up stairs followed by Jackson. There was a slam of a door then pleading heard the creak of the door and slammed again.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Ah love is in the air can you feel it?" Colin said.
Rick looked at his half Brother with disgust! Alexis was about to bust a gut.
Rick noticed and thought Alexis might be having a fit or something
"Pumpkin what is wrong?" Rick asked worriedly.
Alexis was gasping for air having such a fit laugher.
"Come on Alexis let us in on the joke too?" Rick asked being glad it was nothing serious.
"Dad I woke up early and Gram's bed was not being slept in it was perfectly made!" Alexis said as she kept giggling.
Colin started laughing too.
Rick was perplexed until the light went on!
"Oh No!" Rick said
"Oh yes!" Alexis laughed!
"Rick face it your parents are having sex in your house!" Kate said laughing.
"Kate thank you that information. I really did not want to think about that!" Rick said with a face resembling Alexis' when she found both Rick and Kate naked on the couch!
"Now you know what I think!" Alexis said.
Rick looked at his daughter and the both had a funny face
"Ewwww…! Where is the Brain Bleach?" They both said.
Rick's phone started ringing. The whole loft was being serenaded by the Rick ring tone of the Wicked Witch of the West Theme song from the Wizard of Oz.
"Saved by the Bell… Or maybe that should be witch? Rick" Jim quipped?
"Aren't you going to answer it Rick?" Kate said.
"Yeah she is just going to keep calling!" Alexis said.
"Yeah Rick answer it! I'm getting tired of that ring tone!" Colin said.
"It is supposed to go to Voice mail why isn't it going to Voice mail?" Rick said looking at the phone.
"Hand that to me!" Kate said. "No wonder your mail box is full! Don't you delete any thing?"
As Kate finally in desperation pulled the phone and removed the battery. Silence reigned.
Kate placing it back in then started scrolling through the voice mails. There were 106 voice mails all today from Gina. Kate decided if she called again she would answer as she deleted all the unheard voice mails. As she finished removing the last one the phone rang again.
"Hello Gina!" Kate said.
"Kate? Oh I am glad I got a hold of you! Where is your husband?" Gina asked.
"What…? He is cowering as usual." Kate said.
"Well tell him to get on TMZ!" Gina said.
"Rick get on TMZ!" Kate said while holding the phone.
Rick pulled up the website and all their wedding pictures their honeymoon pictures and their Love video were all on display as was the ultrasound picture of the twins.
"Rick this is a payback!" Kate said seeing her life with Rick and those special moments being spread across the internet.
"Operation Conner…?" Rick asked.
"Yeah it looks like it! They could not derail but this is going to slow us down!" Kate said as they all looked at what a news scoop TMZ got.
Kate hung up on Gina after taking it all in. This was going to be a war!
