Sorry it's been so long between posts but my nephew has being in hospital and no one seems to know what's going on. I haven't forgotten about the readers of the story, but family comes first. So I'm sorry that after these chapters I will be putting the story on hold for awhile. So that I can get my head around everything that has happened. But enoughabout that enjoy Chapters 39 to 41. Until next time.

Disclaimer: I don't know Instant Star or any of the characters. Just this story.

Getting to know my father

Chapter 39

Previously

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."

Jude: "In a way I guess. But we thought we were divorced.

Nicole: "I can't believe I missed my brother's wedding."

Jude: "You didn't miss much."

Nicole: "That's not the point, just wait till mum finds out."

Jude: "Oh god I completely forgot about her."

Nicole: "There's gonna be hell to pay."

Jude: "I'd hate to be Tommy."

Nicole: "Yeah mum can be scary"

Jude: "So I've heard. But let's leave that for another day, we have to get through this reunion first."

Nicole: "I agree with you, so we'll meet at my place say around 6?"

Jude: "Sure"

Nicole: "Don't worry Jude I'll make sure Tom behaves."

Jude: "I'm not worried about Tom I can handle him, I'm more concerned about more concerned about Sara and how she's gonna take the news."

Nicole: "I know what you mean."

Jude: "Well I better go otherwise D will kill me. I'll see you later tonight."

Nicole: "Ok."

With that Jude leaves and heads to G Major, hoping that the day gets better.

At G Major

Jude: "Hi Sade's Kwest in?"

Sadie: "Hi Jude. Kwest's in but D wants to see you first."

Jude: "Great just what I need."

Sadie: "What was that?"

Jude: "Nothing Sade's is D available?"

Sadie: "Sure just go straight in"

Jude: "Thanks"

Knock knock knock knock

D: "Come in"

Jude: "Hey D. Sorry I didn't realize you had company. I'll come back."

D: "No Jude stay Shay was just leaving."

Shay: "But D"

D: "No buts Shay I'll think about it and let you know. Now get out of here, Portia wants you."

Shay: "Fine"

D: "Jude take a sit. Do you want anything?"

Jude: "No thanks, D what's going on?"

D: "Well it seems a little birdy as informed the media

Jude: "About what?"

D: "If you'd let me finish I'd tell you."

Jude: "Sorry"

D: "The media knows something is going on with Tommy and yourself. They have evidence of you meeting Tommy at the Pier. And some big mouth let slip what happened here the other day, then you factor in the meeting you had with Nicole. Let's just say the rumour mill is in full swing.

Jude: "Did Shay tell you about my meeting Nicole?"

D: "No he didn't."

Jude: "Oh."

D: You told Shay you were meeting Nicole?"

Jude: "Yeah I asked him to let you know that I'd be late cos I had a meeting. But he wouldn't unless I agreed to date him."

D: "WHAT?"

Jude: "He wants to date me"

D: "I can't believe him sometimes."

Jude: "What do you mean?"

D: "I mean when Shay finds something he can't have no matter what the reason he always finds a way to get it."

Jude: "Well that's not gonna happen I don't care what he does. I will not date him, and it's not because he's family. "

D: "Ok Jude calm down and tell me how the meeting went with Nicole?"

Jude: "Well it was good. We both decided that no matter what happens we want the other one and their family to be involved in Sara's life."

D: "That's good, what else happened?"

Jude: "Well we're telling Sara tonight when she gets back from her day with Tom."

D: "Ok so what time should I be there?"

Jude: "Ah D, it's just gonna be Nicole, Tommy, Sara and myself."

D: "Oh"

Jude: "Yeah we thought it might be better with a small amount of people there."

D: "That's ok Jude. I need to follow up were everyone stands legally with this situation."

Jude: "Thanks for understand D. I'll let you know what happens."

D: "Thanks Jude. Now get your butt into the studio."

Jude: "That's where I was going before I had to see you."

D: "Well better get a move on then."

Jude: "Ok D I can take a hint unlike Shay."

D: "Jude don't worry about Shay I'll have a word to him."

Jude: "No don't D I don't want to make things worse then what they are already."

D: "You sure Jude, it's not a problem?"

Jude: "I'm sure D but thanks for the offer."

D: "Ok now go Kwest is waiting for you."

Jude: "Consider me gone"

In Studio A

Kwest's thoughts: I wonder where Jude is? I know Tommy's spending the day with his niece/daughter but Jude I thought she'd be here by now. I hope she's ok. Maybe I should give her a call.

Kwest pulls out his cell and dials Jude's number

Kwest: "Come on Jude answer."

Jude: "Hello?"

Kwest: "Hi Jude it's Kwest."

Jude: "Hey Kwest what's up?"

Kwest: "I was just going to ask you the same thing?"

Jude: "Really. Why?"

Kwest: "Jude you do realize that you where meant to be at G Major at 10 right?"

Jude: "Yeah Kwest and I'm here. Turn around."

Kwest: "What?"

"Look behind you" Jude said while closing her cell.

Kwest: "God Jude don't sneak up on people"

Jude: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

Kwest: "That's fine. Where were you?"

Jude: "I meet up with Nicole."

Kwest: "Oh god what happened?"
