Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who read or reviewed the last chapter. I know everyone was ecstatic with the double update. In other good news for you, I can't update two of my Star Trek stories until the movie is available on digital download, so I can re-watch certain scenes over and over again to get everything perfect. That means for two weekends in a row, I will be working on this story. If I update four times in August, I think some people may faint. (It could happen with encouragement.) However, we are at a very critical point in the story and it's probably best for me to just keep writing.
I decided to check up on Alex/Alexis in this chapter, due to a comment by Heather, that she gave me during the beta process for the last chapter. I wasn't sure how to really cover all the ground necessary in this chapter but her comment gave me a wonderful idea.
Warning: This is a hard chapter but considering the major themes of the story are cancer and suicide, I hope that everybody can handle what will happen next. If you have a hard time watching the season four episode Blackout this chapter may be hard for you.

Dear Alex:
I miss you and I still hate you. Why did you kill yourself?
I guess I should catch you up on all the wonderful things that are going on now that you are among the dead. Your father is now screwing Wilhelmina, or rather, she screwing him over. Because let's be honest, a woman like Wilhelmina, is only screwing a guy like that for one thing. Faye actually loved your father, but only God knows why. Now she wants to stab him with the dinner fork.
I didn't need to be tipped off by someone calling him or herself, Alex Suarez, to know that Wilhelmina is trying to screw her way to the top. She's too obvious about it, especially because she already used her evil powers to get my budget cut. I'm now teaming up with the devil to take her out. I just survived dinner with Faye Somers and realize she's not as evil as I thought she was. Her, I can work with.
Of course, your brother's baby's mama is upset about the whole thing because Alex was the top name on her baby list, but now she is a little unsure if Daniel will still want that. She's just the sweetest girl in the world. She's like liquid sunshine and she's totally in love with your brother. She despises that Daniel is in Europe but she doesn't say anything because she doesn't want to be selfish. She was planning to name her child after you, not that you deserve it but because she knows that it will make Daniel happy (or at least before the strange e-mails started). He really misses you even if he is now distracted with his new son, DJ.
I miss you too. I still love you. Although, thinking back on it, you were always kind of a prick, a very selfish prick. But you were always good at giving head and therefore I was pretty much able to forgive you for anything. I probably still would be able to, if you were still alive. I don't know, if I can forgive you for not being strong enough to tell Bradford to go fuck himself. Seriously, Alex, why the fuck did you kill yourself? I wish you could actually answer this email, but the dead can't do that.
So, Jordan's good, despite the fact, you screwed her over, probably worse than me. I think being pregnant has given her something to focus on. She's gotten to the point where she's looking forward to mommy hood and baby shopping. She's happy.
She's also looking into a new career path because her current career doesn't work well with pregnancy. I have a friend at Sports Now and I convinced her to let Jordan interview for a special Correspondence job. (Surprisingly enough, your father is not trying to stop it. After the skiing accident, that wasn't really an accident, I'm not sure Jordan is in a good place emotionally to do base jumping right now, even if she didn't get pregnant. The baby is just a convenient excuse that will allow her to take some time off without losing her sponsors.
As for my relationship with Jordan, it's complicated. I like her, maybe even more than that. I kind of wonder why we never thought about doing a threesome. It would've been the perfect solution. I don't even think she would have that much of a problem with you losing your dick. We would have stayed with you, despite your decision to transition, if you would have just given us a chance. Why did you not trust us?
The only problem with Jordan is that I wonder if I'm only with her because I miss you. She is kind of my last connection to you. Betty, a.k.a. the mother of your future niece or nephew, kind of suggested that in the sweetest way possible, after she almost threw up on my shoes at a very Suarez brunch today. She doesn't want me to hurt her friend and roommate. Okay, she doesn't want me to hurt Marc either, even though sometimes, he's a real prick to her. He kind of reminds me of you. I like that sometimes.
Marc is my assistant and he is wonderful. He is capable and works just as hard as Marisol except that he doesn't need to leave at five every day to pick up the kids from daycare. He's snarky and brilliant. He also has a mom that really reminds me of your father. I can tell him things that I can only tell you in these emails and Jordan.
I'm just not sure I'm ready to move on to another guy. Jordan said that she really didn't care about it, after she and Marc got in a food fight at the Suarez house. I blame baby hormones.
I don't know, if I want to put Jordan through what you put her through, even if she consents to it. According to his best friend, Amanda, a.k.a. Faye's daughter, Marc doesn't do serious. Usually, I don't either except for you, even if I said, we were just fucking around. The thing is there's a baby involved now and it just makes everything more serious. I cannot fuck around now that I have a child on the way.
I wish you were here to tell me what to do. I just wish you were here.
Love always, Jamie

Jordan and I have decided that we should just give up the pretense of trying to only be friends. She also wants me to talk things out with Marc. She's forcing me to do it during her interviews, so she can bug me about it afterwards. I think that's why I like her so much. Seriously, why did we not do a threesome? This is so much more productive than all the fighting.
Your brother will also be around for the chaos. Daniel called yesterday in a complete panic because he finally figured out that Betty is pregnant. The bad news is that he thinks it is her ex-boyfriend's child.
Considering that your father is driving us crazy with the lawyers about Jordan's pregnancy, I kind of wish it was the ex-boyfriend's child, or I would if he wasn't a crazy stalker, I saw him hanging around the neighborhood Sunday but I didn't say anything to Betty. She doesn't need the stress. Either way, it's kind of a mess. I did not correct Daniel's assumption because it wasn't really my place to say anything. I will leave it to Betty. I think I need to bring alcohol and chocolate because tomorrow is going to be a 'fun' day.

Jordan Dunne, known more for swimming the English Channel in a leather bikini and the recent death of her longtime partner, Alex Meade, than her athletic abilities in recent months was found unconscious in the headquarters for Hudson, a magazine that her deceased boyfriend created two years previously. Alex Meade died during a skiing accident earlier this year. According to eyewitnesses, Dunne was unconscious and bleeding when discovered in a stairwell one flight away from the Hudson offices. She was taken to Manhattan Medical Center. Her condition is currently unknown at this time. Of course, what we want to know is why was she in the Meade building in the first place? Could this have anything to do with the looser clothing that she has been wearing recently?

Extreme athlete, Jordan Dunne is currently in stable but serious condition at Manhattan Medical Center (MMC), after falling two flights of stairs, according to unknown sources. However, MMC has yet to comment. It has also been reported that Daniel and Claire Meade, the brother and mother of Dunne's recently deceased boyfriend, Alex Meade, were seen rushing to the hospital to be by her side. According to eyewitnesses, Daniel, along with a woman only referred to as Jordan's roommate accompanied a still unconscious Dunne to the hospital.
The biggest surprise was her deceased boyfriend's best friend; new Hudson EIC, Jamie Hunter rushed to the hospital and has not left Jordan side. This is surprising considering reports that the two did not like each other prior to Alex's accidental death in January of this year. However, there have been multiple sightings of the two together throughout Manhattan since the death of Alex. Was Dunne at Hudson to visit Hunter?

According to a source close to the incident, the NYPD do not believe this was a mere accident and are investigating. Why would anybody push sweet Jordan down a flight of stairs?

This seems to be a bad day all around for the Meade family. In a surprising, yet, not unexpected move, Claire Meade has filed for divorce from her publishing mogul husband, Bradford Meade. Rumors of infidelity on the part of Bradford Meade have followed the couple for decades. Reportedly, Claire Meade has been in and out of substance abuse treatment numerous times during the course of their marriage; most recently in Paris. However, a source close to the couple has stated that the death of their oldest son in January was the final nail in the coffin of their disintegrating marriage.
Claire Meade had no comment on her pending divorce as she rushed to be by the side of her deceased son's girlfriend, who is currently in stable but critical condition after being found unresponsive near the Hudson offices.

Jordan lost the baby. She's a mess. I'm a mess. I want to cry. I want to break something. I don't know.
God, I wish you were here. I feel so alone right now, Alex. I need you so much and you're gone. I lost you. I lost our baby. I almost lost Jordan too. I don't know how much more I can take. I think, I now understand why you did what you did.
This is all my fault. If I just went upstairs to meet Jordan after her interview, this would've never happened. She wasn't feeling well this morning anyway but I convinced her to go on to the job interview. I said I would meet her afterwards and go with her to lunch with Betty and Amanda and then tell her all about my conversation with Marc.
Instead, I got distracted with Marc. Like blow job distracted. I know Jordan was expecting me to talk things out with Marc but I don't think she was expecting that. It was a mistake. I realized it was a mistake when Amanda broke into my office and told me about Jordan. All I could do was think about her and our child. She was the only thing I could think about.
Don't you hate realizing you're in love with somebody when you are about to lose them? I do not know how much more of this I can take and now I have to deal with uncomfortable police interviews.
The thing that annoys me the most is Wilhelmina and her new minion are in the waiting room playing it up for the cameras. The bitch doesn't even know Jordan. I'm positive that it is either her or daddy dearest, that are responsible for Jordan's little 'accident'. The bitch is a dead woman.

Time sent: 4/13/2005 20:55:31
Jordan Dunne has suffered a miscarriage, due to falling down two flights of stairs in the Meade Publications headquarters after an interview for Sports Now, according to an unknown source close to the investigation. This is surprising because most people did not even know that Dunne was pregnant. According to another source close to Dunne, she was only two months pregnant and waiting until the end of her first trimester to go public. However, anybody with basic math skills can assume that the child she was carrying was not that of her late boyfriend Alex Meade, unless in vitro fertilization was utilized; although, that would explain the presence of Claire and Daniel Meade at her bedside.
Since the death of her boyfriend, Jordan has only been seen publicly in the company of the brother of her deceased lover and his business partner and friend, Jamie Hunter. Could either of these men have been the father of her now deceased child? Considering the fact that a crying Jamie was spotted outside MMC, being comforted by Daniel Meade and Jordan's roommate, Bethany Sanchez that seems highly plausible.

Amanda just called and she was in hysterics because the police just picked up Marc because he matched the image of the guy, who pushed Jordan down the stairs. I knew it was all a set up. Even, I thought it was odd that Bradford was letting Jordan interview for anything at Meade Publications, despite my contacts. Then, there was the fact that Christina had discovered Jordan in the stairwell. Nobody takes the stairs at Meade unless the elevator is broken, except Jordan. It just all seems too suspicious. It had to be Wilhelmina or Bradford. I could see Wilhelmina setting Marc up for something like this assuming that he would not have an alibi. She is still angry about losing her assistant to me.
The only problem is to get Marc out of jail; I'm going to have to come clean. Considering the fact that everything about this mess has ended up on celebrity TV within 30 seconds, this means I'm going to have to come out publicly. God, even the surveillance tape has already made the web. Maybe, it's time for me to stop living in my glass closet. It killed you. Besides like I give a fuck about any confidentiality contract I signed with Bradford Meade to play it completely straight, he can go fuck himself.
The bastard or his wicked girlfriend killed my child and I will do anything in my power to screw them over. It's not like I really care about going public; I just don't want to put Jordan through this. I hate seeing her in pain. This is killing me right now. She is still crying about the baby. I don't know how to make it better. Even Miss Betty Sunshine, doesn't know what to do and that's a bad thing; telling her about Marc will just make it worse. However, I can't let him go to jail for my mistake.

Jordan doesn't hate me for what happened. She did slap me afterwards, probably because I tried to kiss her. She's mad at me but she doesn't blame me. Actually, she only blames your father. With Jordan's blessing, Faye and I are currently trying to get Marc out without my sexual orientation becoming the focus of this mess, instead of the search for the man who killed my child.
At the same time, Jordan is currently trying to convince Betty not to tell Daniel that the baby is his. Jordan is convinced that if Bradford finds out sweet little Betty will be the next one 'falling' down the stairs. It would kill Jordan completely if something like that happened to Betty too.

In a stunning press conference this morning, Jamie Hunter of Hudson magazine announced that he was the father of Dunne's unborn child. The two have been in a relationship since the death of Alex Meade earlier this year. However, an unknown source states that the relationship started before that time with the full consent of Alex because the three were all dating each other.
Hunter also stated that it was impossible for St. James to have pushed Dunne because Hunter was with him at the time of the incident. According to an anonymous source, St. James and Hunter were found in an 'intimate embrace' when Hunter was notified about Jordan's accident.
When question directly about this incident, he admitted that it was true. Hunter also stated "Yes, I have sex with men sometimes. Is that any of your business? No. Does it affect my ability to put out a good magazine? No. Does it have any bearing on the fact that someone tried to kill Jordan and successfully killed my child? No. Who I'm (expletive) doesn't matter. It should never matter more than an innocent life that was taken much too soon."

Subject: Breaking news: Alex Meade's skiing accident was no accident.
After the attempted murder of Jordan Dunne which led to her miscarriage, it has come to light that her longtime partner Alex Meade, did not die accidentally on the European slopes. It was actually a suicide. According to sources familiar with both Alex and Jordan, Alex committed suicide after coming out to his family about his sexual orientation, his plans for gender reassignment surgery, his three-way relationship with Jordan Dunne and Jamie Hunter, and being bitterly rejected by his alcoholic mother Claire Meade. The source also said that Jordan and Jamie have been haunted by the loss of Alex but were trying to get on with their life by finding a new third and starting a family together. The source also suspects that St. James, who was initially arrested for attempted murder of Jordan, was supposed to be this individual.
[Click to read more].
Alexis hated tabloid journalism in general but this was worse than usual and she just knew Wilhelmina was responsible. Why else would she have things twisted around so that her mother was credited with what her father did instead? Thank God that Jamie was still sending her emails. It would have been worse if she found out about Jordan's miscarriage from the press or Wilhelmina.
She still cried when she read Jamie's words about the baby. Alexis also cried every time Jamie said that he wished she was still around or when he told her that he didn't care about the gender reassignment surgery. Jamie's emails were Alexis' lifeline to the life that Alexis thought she could leave behind.
Again, it was better finding out from Jamie, instead of sifting through the lies of the press and Wilhelmina. Alexis cannot help but roll her eyes at the fact that the headline said Jamie was gay even though they reported about Jordan's pregnancy. She wasn't exactly happy that her revenge on Bradford was now public knowledge (especially with the twist most likely added by Wilhelmina. That was only going to hurt his family and lovers.
Jordan and Jamie don't need this. They just lost a child. Alexis doesn't want to think about that loss. She never wanted children but the possibility of being the biological father of Jordan's child did not scare her as much as it should have. She was even disappointed that the baby turned out to be Jordan and Jamie's child, but only for a second. A little child with Jordan's eyes and Jamie's nose would be beautiful. Actually, she suggested something like that to her plastic surgeon. (Fortunately, Jamie's nose looks like Kate Winslet, so she had a built-in lie, if anybody asked. She's probably going to go with Jordan's boobs, instead of eyes because the doctor said that's one thing that she's not going to be able to change.) The first stage of her physical transformation will start in a few weeks now that Wilhelmina found a doctor in the states that has no problem beginning her physical transformation process without her living as a woman full time for a full year.
She was back in New York; part of it was because Wilhelmina wanted her close by probably to control her more easily. She couldn't exactly go off to Thailand every few weeks now that she had control of Mode, at least temporarily. The other argument was it would be easier to go through gender reassignment surgery in the states.
Alexis is there because she didn't want to be half a world away from Wilhelmina, especially now that the woman was screwing her father, just to get ahead. She sold it as setting Bradford up to completely ruin his reputation, when it came out about his philandering ways. Alexis knew better, that's why she chose to warn Jamie and Daniel about it using her new alias of Alex Suarez. In that same vein, it would be easier to undermine Wilhelmina's evil plans, if they were in the same time zone. That was the real reason she came back.
After reading about Jamie suspicions, Alexis was more wary of Wilhelmina than usual, even if she wasn't convinced that Wilhelmina was the one who had Jordan pushed down the stairs in the first place. In Alexis' mind, that had to be her father. On the other hand, she just knew Wilhelmina is responsible for this latest smear campaign because her fingerprints are all over it. Alexis did not trust Wilhelmina anymore and that was before she started fucking her father just to get ahead. Wilhelmina was only out for Wilhelmina, and therefore, it made perfect sense that she was the anonymous source that was spilling Meade family secrets to celebrity television because it would further her own goals. She just needed to prove her suspicions; that meant calling Wilhelmina and she was all too willing to own up to her role in it.
"I don't even want to know how making this public helps your ridiculous plan to get back at my father or get Faye Somers' job permanently. Don't tell me it wasn't you because you're the only one who knows half of this stuff. You have practically confessed already. What were you thinking?" Alexis yelled into the phone. She was tired of playing Wilhelmina's games today.
"It was an necessary evil to help discredit your father." Wilhelmina said claiming responsibility for it. "Carlos was the one who leaked everything to the press. It's amazing what one can find out when you're screwing the illegitimate spawn of Faye Somers." Alexis is angry with Wilhelmina's words but she said nothing. She wanted to kill Wilhelmina's slimy assistant. She has met the man twice since she has taken residency in Wilhelmina's upstate home and both encounters were less than pleasant.
"Besides, what did you care about Jamie's name being dragged through the mud? He moved on to your ex-girlfriend and my ex-assistant." Wilhelmina added with bitterness to twist Alexis to her way of thinking. Alexis said nothing that could betray her true emotions. She couldn't afford to let Wilhelmina see the truth.
"I don't care but I don't see the point in hurting other people including my brother and my mother. That seems to be the only thing your new plan has done. Now that Jordan has miscarried, you don't have to worry about a new heir to the Meade Empire, even if there was never anything to worry about. Just go back to the old plan." Alexis suggested trying to sound as petty as possible to hide her hurt. She would not show Wilhelmina Slater her pain because she would not show Wilhelmina Slater any weakness; such actions are fatal, where Wilhelmina Slater is concerned. Alexis had too much to lose right now.
"Except now there's the problem of your drunken mother trying to take over the company." Alexis wanted to cheer at that. She cried with joy when she read the news alert about her parents divorcing, despite the fact she wondered, if her supposed suicide was what finally convinced her mom to leave.
"Are you worried you can't get the job on your own merits with her in charge?" Alexis question.
"I'm much more qualified than Faye Somers simply because I'm not drunk half the time or obsessed with the goings-on of our receptionist. Unfortunately, your mother hates me." Wilhelmina told her in a clipped tone.
"Because you're fucking her soon-to-be ex-husband," Alexis mumbled under breath but she was sure the receiver still picked it up.
"She allowed Faye to stay on despite their differences because she's good at her job," Alexis said smugly.
"But she's not. She's only still there because of me. I'm the only reason why that magazine is still relevant," Wilhelmina said thinking way too much of herself. Even Alexis knew Faye was good at her job and she hated the woman. "I would be better suited for Mode. Unlike her, I don't have to pretend I'm under 50."
'No, you just pretend you're under 40,' Alexis thought darkly.
"Regardless, you probably should've thought of that before you decided to start sleeping with my father to gain control of MODE," Alexis quipped.
"You should of told me that your mother owned MODE magazine," Wilhelmina said angrily.
"That would not have helped. You're not her type." Alexis shot back sarcastically.
"Yes, she's not your Jamie." Wilhelmina said icily. "It doesn't matter because despite the fact you hate that thing between your legs, it still good at what it does. Apparently, you have a child with your brother's ex-girlfriend." Wilhelmina's words were shocking. It couldn't be true. Jamie doesn't lie, but Wilhelmina always does.
"Daniel Junior is Daniel son, not mine." Alexis said out loud before she realized her mistake; not once before has Wilhelmina mentioned DJ; the fact that Daniel has a son is not public knowledge yet or at the very least, it wasn't something Celebrity TV was talking about.
"How would you know anything about Daniel's little French boy?" Wilhelmina asked accusingly.
"Your assistant mentioned it." That was not a complete lie. The man did say something about it, most likely to get additional information out of Alexis but it did not work.
"Well, according to your father, your brother is fully aware the child is not his and he is still planning on raising him." That revelation shocked Alex. Despite the fact that Alexis screwed him over, he was still going to take care of his child. Her brother really did love her and she has hurt him in so many ways; most recently by faking her death. What did she do?
She made the wrong choice. Jordan and Jamie miss her. Jamie was so screwed up he was screwing his assistant. He can't even think about poor Jordan. Daniel misses her. If he could forgive her for sleeping with his girlfriend, so much so that, he was taking care of a child created from one lapse of bad judgment, than surely he can accept that Alexis wanted her outside to match her inside.
"No matter," Wilhelmina started coldly. "We still can't go back to the old plan, despite Jordan's fall down the stairs, due to the unfortunate fact; your brother is taking care of your child. At the very least, it provides your father with the new option to take over his Empire, if he still has an Empire, when your mom is done with him. At worse, it proves that, maybe, Danny boy is not the drunk fuck up, everybody assumes him to be. Such a waste of a good tragedy here," Her words caused Alexis concern. Why was Wilhelmina so blasé about Jordan's miscarriage? It was almost like she was angry that the tragedy could not be used for her own purposes. Why would she feel that way unless… Was Jamie right?
"Did you have something to do with what happened to Jordan?" Alexis asked before she could think better of it.
"You know I hate getting my perfectly manicured hands dirty. Sometimes bad things happening to the right people are gifts from God. Besides, if I did have anything to do with it, why would I tell you?" Wilhelmina said as she hung up the phone. She should've just said yes. Alexis was now sure that Wilhelmina Slater was responsible for the death of Jordan and Jamie's child. Unfortunately, her plan backfired because of DJ and her mother finally getting the balls to leave Bradford. He realized, in that moment, that Wilhelmina Slater will do anything to get ahead even sleep with Bradford or have Jordan pushed down a flight of stairs. She only cares about herself. Alexis didn't care about what she did to Bradford because the man deserves to be used for what he did to Alexis' mother but her greed killed an innocent baby. What would she do if she found out that Daniel's girlfriend was three months pregnant?
Daniel is taking care of her child that means Alexis needed to take care of Daniel's child. It was the least she could do. That meant that Alexis was coming out sooner than expected and it was time for Alex Suarez to pay Jamie a visit. Her anger had a new target. Wilhelmina Slater was going down.
To Be Continued.
