Chapter 42

Previously

Tommy: "It's not that simple Nicole and I refuse to put my family in danger. So this is what is gonna happen."

Jude: "Excuse me, have you forgotten that I have a say in this as well and I'm not going anywhere no matter what anyone says."

D: "Jude think about it, the media attention is gonna be nonstop and the stress is no good for you or the baby"

Jude: "D I get that I really do. But no one is gonna make me run from this.. Now as for the media I can handle whatever they throw my way, but if they go after Sara they would wanna watch out. As Tommy said no one messes with My family.

Tommy: "Now that's the girl I fell in love with."

Jude: "Not now Tommy."

Tommy: "What."

Jude: "You know exactly what I'm talking about."

D: "Ok if you're not gonna leave at least let me get you some protection"

Nicole: "I think it's a bit late for that"

Tommy: "Nicole"

Nicole: "What?"

Tommy: "You know what"

Jude: "Ok D I'll let you get me some protection. Nicole I think it's time to tell Sara what's going on."

Nicole: "Ok I'll go get her."

D: "Ok then I'll leave you to it, and go work out a plan for the media."



With that Nicole and D left.

Tommy: "Jude you know that I'm here for you no matter what."

Jude: "I wish I could believe you."

Tommy: "It's the truth Jude I'm not going anywhere, no matter what you say or do."

Jude: "Tommy please not now ok."

Tommy: Jude you know we have to deal with this one way or the other."

Jude: "Yeah I know that. But for the time being I want to concentrate on making sure Sara is gonna be ok. The rest can just wait."

……." Jude?"

Jude: "Hey there princess. Did you have fun with uncle Tom Tom?"

Sara: "Yeah"

Tommy: "Ok Sara why don't you sit down and listen to a story that mummy, Jude and Uncle Tom Tom have to tell"

Sara: "Is it a good story?"

Nicole: "Yes sweetie it is."

Sara: "Goodie"

"Well here goes nothing" Jude mumbled

Nicole: "Sweetie do you remember mummy telling you how special you are cos I picked you?"

Sara: "Yes"

Nicole: "Good. Well the lady that told me about you in the first place was a friend."

Tommy: "Nicole you're confusing her."

Nicole: "Well what do you want me to do just come out and tell her that her Uncle Tom Tom is her daddy and that Jude is her mummy?"

Jude: "I think you just did Nicole"



Nicole: "Oh."

Sara just sat there with a smile on her face

Nicole: "Sara sweetie are you ok?"

Sara: "Mummy I ok. Daddy told me that Jude was my real mummy."

Nicole: "He what?"

Sara: "Daddy told me."

Tommy: "And what do you think?"

Sara: "I don't know. I got two mummies and two daddies I lucky."

Nicole: "Yes sweetie."

Sara: "Goodie"

Tommy: "That's it?"

Jude: "What can I say she's a smart girl."

Sara: "Mummy?"

Nicole: "Yes sweetie"

Sara: "Can we go home?"

Nicole: "Sure sweetie."

D: "It's ok Nicole take her home she looks tired."

Nicole: "Ok. Tommy, Jude we'll talk later."

Jude: "That's fine. Just take care of our angel. Bye Sara"

Sara: "Bye Jude"

Jude: "I can't believe how well she took it."

Tommy: "I know. But what I can't get over is that she knew."

Jude: "I know."



D: "Guys I hate to interrupt but we need to do damage control."

Jude: "Well as much I hate this idea. But how about we reveal all on the reunion show?"

Tommy: "Jude I don't know."

Jude: "Why? It's gonna become public knowledge that we're married why not reveal that we already have a child as well."

Tommy: "It just doesn't feel right."

D: "Doesn't feel right. T if we don't come out with our version of events the public will think that you've got something to hide."

Tommy: "D I understand what you're saying. It's just"

Jude: "It's just what Tommy?"

Tommy: "I don't want my family to become a pawn in someone's game."

Jude: "I hate to tell you this Sweetie but it's already happened."

D: "I've got to go. So I'll leave you two to decide what's gonna happen. Just let me know so that I can make arrangements."

Jude: "Sure D I'll see you for dinner?"

D: "Yes."

With that D left his office

Tommy: "Babe I don't think that it's right to use this reunion to air our laundry."

Jude: "Tommy we don't really have a choice in the matter"

Tommy: "I know it just doesn't feel right."

Jude: "I know but as long as we stick together nothing can hurt us."

Tommy: "Who told you that?"

Jude: "Well it was this tall handsome man with bright blue eyes."

Tommy: "Really? What's his name?"

Jude: "Well some people still call him 'Lil Tommy Q' but I like to call him my husband."

Tommy: "Babe you better start running"

Jude: "Why?"

Tommy: "You know why. Now I'll give you a 3 second head start"

Jude ran from D's office looking for a place to hide. When she ran smack bang into the arms of Kwest.

Kwest: "Whoa Red where's the fire?"

Jude: "Sorry Kwest it's just"

Tommy: "You better ran girl cos when I get my hands on you, I'm gonna"

Kwest: "You're gonna what T?"

Tommy: "Kwest when did you get here?"

Kwest: "About 5 seconds ago when Red ran right into me"

Jude: "I said I was sorry. But you can blame Tommy."

Tommy: "Why am I getting the blame for you running into Kwest?"

Jude: "Well that's simple. You told me to run."

Kwest: "T man that's not on Red's pregnant. You should know better than to tell the mother of your child to run."

Tommy: "But she called me 'Lil Tommy Q'"

Kwest: "Is this true Red?"

Jude: "Maybe?"

Kwest: "Still that doesn't give you the right to chase her as you have an unfair advantage."

Jude: "Thanks Kwest. But how about we go get some work done."

Kwest:"Sure. How about you and T go to studio A and get things set up, while I have a word with D."

Tommy: "Sure"

Kwest's thoughts: Maybe Georgia did the right thing by realesing this information to the media, as it has brought Tommy and Jude together. I just hope Tommy doesn't do anything to screw this up, cos if he does he has lost Jude forever. Not to mention his kids. Man that's a weird thought 'Lil Tommy Q' a father would would've thought that would happen.

20 Minutes later in Studio A

Jude: "I wonder what's taking Kwest so long?"

Tommy: "Knowing my man Kwest he probably got side tracked talking with Sadie."

Jude: "Well I hope that they work everything out. Kwest deserves to be happy."

Tommy: "What are you talking about?"
