Getting to know my father

Chapter 31

Previously

Portia: "Ok girl we need to talk."

Jude: "Can it wait til tomorrow I'm kinda tired."

Portia: "Ok. But Jude we will talk."

Jude: "Ok"

Portia's thoughts: Wow Jude is my niece, she married Tommy and they have two children. Man what I would give to be in her shoes. I've wanted Tommy ever since I meet him, but he thinks of me as a sister and then there's the fact that D would've killed him. Jude should thank her lucky stars that she married him before they found out she's D's daughter. As for Tom he better not hurt Jude or his life won't be worth living.

The next day

Kwest: "Hey Sades can we talk?"

Sadie: "You mean you wanna talk to me without Jude around. Wow I'm honored"

Kwest: "Sadie don't be like that."

Sadie: "Like what Kwest. Like MY boyfriend would rather spend time with another girl."

Sadie: "Then what's it like huh tell me?"

Knock knock

Nicole: "Hey guys sorry to interrupt but have either one of you seen Jude?"

Sadie: "Why is everyone so concerned about Jude. There are other people besides her you know."

With that Sadie stormed out

Nicole: "What the hell was that?"

Kwest: "Sadie used to being the centre of attention and with everything going on with Jude, I guess she's feeling left out."

Nicole: "Wow talk about been self centered."

Kwest: "Sadie's not like that. It's just her world has been thrown off course and she doesn't know how to get it back."

Nicole: "Whatever. I just wanted to know if you have seen Jude?"

Kwest: "Nah last time I saw her she was in hospital."

Nicole: "Well she's no longer there."

Kwest: "Maybe ask Tom."

Nicole: "Why would he know where she is?"

Kwest: "Well he was with Jude in the hospital D and I left them alone so they could talk."

Nicole: "You don't think he'd do something stupid do you?"

Kwest: "You never can tell with T. Just look at his track record."

Meanwhile with Sadie

Sadie's thoughts: Why is everything about Jude all of a sudden. Well not all of a sudden, but ever since she got here Kwest has been different. Kwest couldn't be in love with Jude could he? Nah that's just crazy, I mean what has Jude got that I don't? Although the way he always defends her and goes running to her no matter what. It could be possible. Well Jude's got another thing coming if she thinks she can have him.

Sadie was pulled from her thoughts by the phone.

Sadie: "Welcome to G Major this is Sadie how can I help you? Ok I'll just transfer you through."

Kwest stood in the doorway of studio A looking at Sadie wondering what was going on in that head of hers.

Kwest: "Hey Sades is everything ok between us?"

Sadie: "I honesty don't know anymore. I think we need some time apart to think about were we want things to go in the relationship?

Kwest: "I don't need time Sadie I know what I want."

Sadie: "And what's that?"

Kwest: "You"

Sadie: "Look Kwest I got to get back to work we'll talk later.

Kwest's thoughts: I think Sadie wants to breakup. What am I going to do? I need I've spent a lot of time with Jude. OH MY GOD Sadie thinks I'm in love with Jude. I've got to prove to her that she's the only girl for me, but I can't just forget about Jude either. Man I need some help, but who do I turn to?

Speid: "Hey Kwest where's Quincy?"

Kwest: "Huh."

Speid: "I said where's Quincy?"

Kwest: "Why do you wanna know?"

Speid: "Oh I don't know maybe cos we've got a recording session with him."

D: "Sorry Speid we gotta cancel it."

Kwest: "Hey D how's Jude?"

Speid: "What do you mean cancel it?"

D: "I mean that Tom has family issues he has to deal with."

Speid: "You mean like Sara being Jude's daughter?"

D: "How'd you know that?"

Speid: "Sara told me when I helped her look for Jude the night of Quincy's birthday."

Kwest: "You mean that Sara knows Jude's her mother?"

Spied: "Isn't that what I said?"

D: "Shut it Vincent."

Speid: "Dude why'd ya have to call me that?"

Kwest: "It's the only way to get you to shut up."

D: "Ok Speid go tell the guys that recording sessions with Tom are cancelled til further notice."

Speid: "Ok D you got it."

Kwest: "D do you think Speid's telling the truth about Sara?"

D: "I don't know."

Kwest: "What are we going to do?"

D: "I don't know. Let's deal with one problem at a time."

Kwest: "Ok which one first?"

D: "Jude & Tom's marriage."

Kwest: "WHAT?"

D: "You heard me."

Kwest: "Yeah but they got. Georgia didn't post the papers did she?"

D: "Nope"

Kwest: "Does Jude know?"

D: "Yeah I told her last night and she said the same thing as T, she gave the papers to Georgia"

Kwest: "Do you have any idea what there gonna do?"

D: "No. But Tom better not break my little girl's heart."

Kwest: "So you got the results of the test?"

D: "Yeah Jude's mine."

Kwest: "Congrats."

D: "Thanks. Jude needs to know that not everyone in her life will run when the going gets tough."

Kwest: "What are you talking about?"

D: "Don"

Kwest: "What did he do?"

D: "It doesn't matter. I'm here, you're here and she's got Tom she needs no one else."

Kwest: What about her daughter?"

D: "I'm working on that."

Kwest: "Ok well I better get back to work."

D: "Take the day off. Go see Jude. I bet she'd be glad to see you."

Kwest: "Thanks D."

D: "Don't mention it."

Kwest: "Where's Jude at anyway?"

D: "Oh she's staying with me."

Kwest: "I bet she was real happy about that "

D: "Just get out of here before I change my mind."

Kwest: "Consider me gone."

Kwest's thoughts: I wonder what Don said to Jude, it must be bad if D's saying she doesn't need him. But when has Jude really needed anyone. She is the most independent, stubborn girl I know. I just hope T doesn't hurt her this time round. If he does his life won't be worth living and that's just with me. I hate to think what D would do."
