Chapter 13: Just Between Us Girls

Dean sighed and walked into Lisa's. She was standing at a high chair trying to feed Baby Dean. David and Lizzie were in the living room watching a movie.

"Oh, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence," Lisa said. "Is his royal highness finished pouting?"

"Very funny," he said. "I know I've sucked lately." He smiled his most charming smile. "I need a favor."

"Unca Dean!" Dean said and threw a carrot at the two adults.

"Quit it," Lisa said looking at the little boy, who blushed in shame. Ten years as a mom had taught her that toddlers needed not love and patience but sternness. "Depends on the favor."

"Come with me to Kelly's wedding," he said. She stared at him. "Please? I don't want to bring a date, because, well," he looked at her.

"Do you really think that Elena's going to have sex with you?" She said. He looked at her. "Sorry," she said. "I really can't, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a little swamped here."

"You have a husband," he reminded her.

"And I could go stay with Patrick," David walked in.

"Davey," she said and shook her head.

"Mom," he said, "I haven't seen him in ages! He just got back, and he goes back out on tour in two weeks. Please?" Dean frowned. He wanted Lisa to come with him, but not that badly. "You haven't seen Cassie in forever, and you're always in a better mood when you two talk."

"The kid's got a point," Dean shrugged. "Although I'd rather he didn't see Patrick."

"Plus if Dad got overwhelmed Tanya and Fulton could always help," David said.

"Mommy!" Lizzie ran in. "Uncle Dean, where were you?" She asked and stomped her feet. He laughed and picked her up.

"I'm sorry I wasn't around Lizzie," he said. "Maybe you'll come with me to see Cassie's sister in law get married, since your boring Mommy won't!"

"Can I?" Lizzie said. "Oh please! I miss TJ sooo much!"

"You're not playing fair," Lisa sighed. Dean grinned at her. "Fine, I'll go."

"But I want to go," Lizzie frowned.

"Next time I go to a wedding, you're absolutely my date," Dean kissed her. "You're my best girl."

"That's silly," she said, "the next time you go to a wedding it's going to be Fulton and Tanya's." Dean flinched a little.

"God, now I have to buy a dress," Lisa groaned. "Can you watch them?" Dean nodded. "Thanks." She grabbed her purse and walked outside. The kids looked at Dean.

"So," he smiled, "who wants ice cream?"

"I love it when you're here," David grinned at him.

Diane sat quietly in her living room, crying on the couch. She picked up the phone and dialed it carefully.

"Hello?" Tommy said answering it.

"Hi," she whispered. "Can you come over?"

"Di," he whispered.

"Please," she said. "Just to talk, I promise."

"I really can't," he said. "Tammy's here, I haven't seen her in months." She nodded. "Why don't you go see Claire? You have to tell her soon anyway right?"

"Yeah," Diane swallowed. "You didn't tell Elena did you?"

"Of course not baby," he said gently, "I promised you I wouldn't. You probably should though."

"Yeah," she sighed. "I guess I'll talk to Claire."

"OK," he whispered. "Look, we'll talk tomorrow. Try to get some sleep. I love you."

"I know," she said. "I love you too."

"Wow, did that hurt too much?" He teased. She giggled. "Bye Di."

"Bye," she whispered and hung up. She hugged her knees. She sighed and got up, grabbing her coat and keys. She drove over to the hotel where she knew Claire and Connie were staying. She walked to the elevator and took it up to the penthouse. Logan always made sure that his wife and daughter had the very best. She knocked on the door.

"Hi," Claire said opening it. "I thought you'd be with Tommy."

"Um, no," she shook her head. "He's hanging out with Tammy and probably Elena."

"Sure," Claire nodded. "Come in."

"Is Connie still awake?" Diane asked.

"Oh God no," Claire laughed. "She passed out about an hour ago. It was a big day for her." Diane nodded. "Sweetheart, what's going on? You seem nervous."

"I have to tell you something," she sighed. Claire nodded and they sat down. "I haven't told anyone, except Tommy, not even Mom and Dad."

"What's wrong?" Claire said looking at her niece. "Diane, are you pregnant? Are you sure it's Tommy's, or is it someone else's?"

"I'm not pregnant," Diane said, "god I wish I was, it would be easier." Claire looked at her. "It's back Claire, remember, from when I was little?"

"Oh God!" Claire gasped and covered her mouth. "Oh honey!" She hugged her. "Is that why, I mean, you and Tommy?"

"No, we were falling apart before," she sighed. "But I can't burden him with it."

"You shouldn't have to do it yourself!" Claire said. "And you have to tell your parents, Diane."

"I know," Diane said. "And I will, really, I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do."

"What does the doctor say?" Claire asked. Diane looked away. "Not good?"

"Not really," Diane said. "Tommy's been, well, he's been amazing, really." She smiled sadly. "But I couldn't ask him to stick around if…" she drifted off.

"Honey," Claire said. "Tommy's not going to bolt because you have leukemia, if anything happened to you he'd be devastated."

"I can't tell Mom, Claire," Diane sighed. "She's convinced it was a miracle that saved me the first time, and people don't get two miracles."

"I did," Claire shrugged. Diane looked at her. "I got Logan back and I got Connie." Diane smiled. "You'll be fine." Diane nodded.

Julie smiled as Charlie opened the door.

"Hey there Cat," he said and hugged her.

"Hey Captain," she said. "How's it going?"

"Good," he smiled. "Come in, please," she walked in. "Connie's on bed rest, otherwise."

"Oh," Julie said, "god I wouldn't have…"

"Don't worry about it," he laughed. "How was the shower?"

"God, so awkward," she sighed. "Linda says hi."

"Oh, right," he said softly, "she would be there huh?" Julie nodded. "Anyone um," he looked, "anyone else that."

"She's beautiful Charlie," Julie said. She didn't want to make him say it. He nodded. "And so happy, she adores Claire." He smiled.

"I'm glad," he smiled. "I'm glad she's doing well."

"Charlie," Connie groaned walking downstairs.

"Cons, you're not supposed to be out of bed," Charlie said.

"Oh please," Connie rolled her eyes, "I'm fine. I've done this before, remember?"

"Vaguely," Charlie raised his eyebrows. "Julie's here."

"Hi!" Connie said happily. Julie smiled and hugged her hugely pregnant friend. "Oh God," she groaned and sat down. "I think this one's going to be a soccer player. All he does is kick."

"Like hell my son is going to play soccer," Charlie scoffed. Julie laughed.

"Careful, you just sounded a teensy bit like Tom Riley there Charlie," Julie smirked.

"God help us all," Connie said. "What are you doing in town anyway?"

"Um, Kelly's shower," Julie said. "Tammy wanted,"

"No she didn't," Connie said coldly. Julie scrutinized Connie's face. It gave away even less than Tammy's had.

"I really think that you two should just talk," Julie said. "It's been so long, I'm sure whatever happened between you two isn't that,"

"Jules," Charlie shook his head. "Don't push it."

"She never told you did she?" Connie said, shocked, leaning back against the couch and her hands on her stomach. Julie shook her head. "Oh my God!"

"What did I miss?" Julie said.

"She never told you why they stopped talking," Charlie filled in the blanks. Julie shook her head again.

"What was it?" Julie asked them. "I've asked her a million times, she's never even come close to telling me."

"It's not my place to tell you," Connie shook her head, suddenly feeling a swell of guilt. She'd forgiven Tammy a long time ago, well, forgive was the wrong word. She'd realized that Tammy hadn't wronged her at all. She knew her reaction was the reason that Tammy had never told Julie. "She will, when she's ready." Julie frowned. "So, what was it like being back at the Rileys? Totally weird?"

"Yeah," Julie said. "Really, really, weird."

Bonnie lay in bed quietly going over a manuscript. She was entirely ready for bed, in a simple black satin night gown and had her glasses on and then her cell phone rang. She picked it up.

"Hey," she said softly.

"Hi," Jimmy said on the other end. "How's it going?"

"Fine," she said. "I miss you."

"Yeah," he smiled. "I miss you too, why don't you open the door so that I miss you less?"

"Huh?" She said, standing up and opened the door.

"Hi," he said closing his phone.

"Oh James," she whispered throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. "What are you doing here?"

"Eh," he shrugged, "it was good to see TJ and everything, but I finished my finals, and you know I never cared for the guy stuff." She giggled as he pushed her back towards the bed and kissed her again. "Plus, I really missed my girl."

"Your girl missed you," she whispered, crawling backwards and groaning as he kissed her neck. "Mm," she whimpered as his hands ran up her thighs.

"I want you," he said. She closed her eyes as they slipped under the covers. She loved the way he still seemed to ask permission every time they made love. As if she would ever refuse him.

"I'm yours." She whispered and kissed him.

Janet giggled walking up to her hotel room. Emily smiled and they pressed against the door and kissed. They were wildly drunk and had taken a cab home together. They couldn't help talking about their wild party girl days. Carefully Janet had admitted that since she realized she liked women too, she'd wanted Emily. Emily, immensely flattered and realizing just how drunk they both were, gave the first kiss. It was no secret to either that both Dave and Janet had slipped a few times over the years. They were both jet setting beautiful people, constantly surrounded by other jet setting beautiful people. Emily had been dating a woman, pretty seriously for a while, but that didn't stop her from being bored and excited at the prospect of a night in bed with Janet.

"It's been a while for me," Janet admitted, "a couple years since I was with a girl." Emily smiled.

"Don't worry," she said as they walked into bed. "It's like riding a bike." Janet blushed as the petite brunette took off her clothes. Janet undressed next. They kissed again. "I'll go first if you want." Emily said. They kissed passionately.

"OK," Janet whispered, she wiggled out of her panties. "You won't tell Dave will you?"

"Oh of course not," Emily laughed, "this will stay between us girls." Janet smiled as they kissed again.

Kelly wandered out to the poolhouse, still happily buzzed on champagne. She'd seen a light on in there and she knew it was where Tammy would be working for the week. She cracked open the door.

"Oh Tammy!" Kelly gasped seeing the beautiful white wedding gown. "It's goreous."

"Thanks," Tammy smiled looking it over. "Try it on, I need to check the fit anyway." Kelly nodded, obediently stripping off her tee shirt and sweat pants as Tammy took the dress off of the form. The younger sister helped the older into it quickly. "What do you think?"

"This lace," Kelly whispered fingering the bodice. "It's exactly the same as…" she closed her eyes, "Tam, where did you find it?"

"It is the lace from hers," Tammy said. Kelly looked at her. "I asked Tom." Kelly threw her arms around Tammy's neck and hugged her tightly. "You don't mind?"

"Mind?" Kelly said, her eyes full of tears, "I get to walk down the aisle in my mother's wedding gown, but still my own, I love you so much for this." Tammy smiled.

"I'm glad," she said. She sat down quietly.

"You seem sad," Kelly whispered. Tammy wiped her eyes. "Tammy what's wrong? I'm glad you're here with me for the week, but it wasn't really necessary and you know that."

"I've been having the panic attacks again," Tammy sighed. Kelly looked at her. "Not full blown ones, but," she closed her eyes. "I haven't told Steve."

"You should," Kelly said. "He'd want to help."

"Would he?" Tammy said. "He and I are different than we were Kel, he's distant and we're both always working, and,"

"And you're afraid that you're going to end up like Jimmy and Julie," Kelly finished her thought.

"Am I that obvious?" She laughed.

"Kind of," Kelly said. "Scooter and I are busy too, we just make sure that there's always time for each other." Tammy nodded. "Take these of couple of days to think, but I think when you're actually away from each other, you'll miss him." Tammy smiled. "Now, do I look fantastic or what?"

"You look beautiful," Tammy said. "It's perfect." Kelly squealed and bounced clapping her hands.
