Getting to know my father

Chapter 38

Previously

Sara: "Uncle Tom Tom let's go already"

Tommy: "Ok Sara let's go"

Nicole: "Bye"

Tommy & Sara: "Bye"

Nicole's thoughts: Now time for me to meet with Jude. I hope Tommy doesn't fine out. Oh well I better get going. I hope we can work something out.

At D's house

Jude: "Hey Shay"

Shay: "Yes Jude"

Jude: "Could you let D know that I'm going to be late"

Shay: "What do I look like?"

Jude: "Please Shay I've got an important meeting that I need to attend. D will understand."

Shay: "Then why didn't you tell him last night?"

Jude: "Cos the meeting only got confirmed this morning. So will you do it or not?"

Shay: "What's in it for me?"

Jude: "The feeling of doing something good for your cousin."

Shay: "That's not enough"

Jude: "What do you want?"



Shay: "I want you to go on a date with me?"

Jude: "Shay there's no way in hell I'm going out with you. That's incest and it's just plain wrong."

Shay: "Come on Jude it won't be the first time cousins have gone out, and it sure as hell won't be the last."

Jude: "Forget it Shay."

Shay: "Fine"

Jude's thoughts: D really needs to get Shay some serious help. Especially if he thinks it's ok to date within the family. I know we didn't grow up together or anything like that, but to ask me out on a date especially after he found out we're family is just sick. Maybe I should talk to Portia first, she might be able to talk him into getting some help. Even if we weren't related there's no way in hell that I'd date him. He's a player who puts "lil Tommy Q to shame. And the thing with lil Tommy Q was all media hype, he was loyal right up to the point when he cheated on me. although was he cheating on me the entire time? Jude don't think like that it will do your head in and you've got to meet Nicole in about ½ an hour.

Jude pulled herself together and went to meet Nicole.

At the Café

Nicole: "Where is she. I told her to meet me here at 10, and it's now 10.15, I wonder what's keeping her?"

Jude: "Nicole I'm sorry I'm late. Shay was being an arse hole"

Nicole: "Same old Shay. What did he want this time?"

Jude: "You know Shay?"

Nicole: "Yeah we dated for awhile"

Jude: "Is that why Shay and Tom don't get along?"

Nicole: "No Tom doesn't know that I dated Shay."

Jude: "Interesting."

Nicole: "So what did the Big Shay want?"



Jude: "I asked him to let D know that I'd be late and he wanted to know what was in it for him."

Nicole: "So what did you tell him?"

Jude: "I told him that feeling of doing something good for his cousin."

Nicole: "Let me guess that wasn't good enough for him?"

Jude: "Yeah he wants to date me even though he knows we're family. "

Nicole: "WHAT?"

Jude: "He wants to date me."

Nicole: "That's just sick."

Jude: "I know. But enough about him. Let's move on to what has brought us here."

Nicole: "Ok. I guess I'll start."

Jude: "Ok"

Nicole: "If I had of known at the time I adopted Sara that she was my niece I still would've adopted her, but I would've kicked Tommy's arse first. Given the circumstances I really don't know what to do?"

Jude: "I understand if I had of known you where Tommy's sister I would've thought twice about letting you adopt her. But meeting Sara for the first time I can see that I made the right choice in choosing you."

Nicole: "That really means a lot to me."

Jude: "Well it's the truth. But we got to deal with the matter at hand. I hope that no matter what happens that we all stay in contact and the Sara remains happy. It would kill me if this makes her unhappy and not loved, which is far from the truth."

Nicole: "No matter what happens I want to be a part of Sara's life and I want you, Tommy and our families to be apart of her life."

Jude: "I want that to. But I guess the first thing we need to do is to tell Sara the truth, cos I can bet that if we don't Georgia will."

Nicole: "Do you really thing that Georgia will do that?"

Jude: "Look at what she's done in the past."

Nicole: "Ok. But I think that it should be just you, Tommy and myself."

Jude: "Ok. So when do you want to do this?"

Nicole: "I was thinking tonight after Tommy and Sara get back from Water world."

Jude: "I don't know Nicole, the last time Tommy and I spoke it didn't go to well."

Nicole: "What happened?"

Jude: "Let's just say it ended up in a screaming match"

Nicole: "What did he do?"

Jude: "He told me he loves me and we kissed"

Nicole: "WHAT?"

Jude: "He told me he loves me and we kissed."

Nicole: "Oh My God"

Jude: "I know"

Nicole: "Why did you kiss him?"

Jude: "I guess I got caught up in the moment."

Nicole: "Would that be the same moment that ended up being the new addition to the family?"

Jude: "No that moment involved a lot of alcohol."

Nicole: "Oh really"

Jude: "Yeah it was Sadie's party."

Nicole: "Come on give me the details?"

Jude: "What can I say it started with I Never then it moved on to truth or dare. Things got out of hand Tommy got drunk Kwest drove him home, but he ended up at my place, where certain events occurred"

Nicole: "What did you say in the morning?"



Jude: "Nothing Kwest woke me and I got the hell outta here and left a note telling Tom that I'd see him at the studio, nothing more was said until I discovered I was pregnant. Although the media have had us together since day one."

Nicole: "Well they were right."
