CHAPTER FIFTY ONE
~KATE AND CARLY~
The woman stared ahead, eyes open, but she wasn’t blinking. Her body was still. She gripped a green mug tightly in her right hand. The cup itself looked half full but you could still see some steam rising from the dark liquid. Carly guessed it was coffee. She stood tall behind Kate, who sat on the teal living room couch.
"How'd you sleep?" Kate asked, looking at the teen. Carly smiled.
"Like a baby. You?"
"I didn't sleep", Kate answered, "I have a lot on my mind." Kate’s face looked pale, and her eyes seemed to barely be open.
"Thinking about Kahlan?" The older woman nodded. "I do wish I could help you. But it’s hard to convince Kahlan. She's not easily influenced." Kate gave her a s

~KATE AND ROBERT~Kate stood at the sink washing the breakfast dishes. Robert came up from behind her, wrapping his arms around her tiny waist. She chuckled lightly as he put his light pink lips to her neck."Well good morning to you too." said Kate. Robert chuckled. He walked away after letting go of his girl friend and went to make himself a cup of coffee."Kate," Robert replied, "I need to talk to you.""Sure, what is it?" He leaned back against the kitchen counter, holding his cup up to his lips. Kate looked over at him as she dried her hands. Robert Woods stared for a moment."I have to go back to work." Kate’s eyes went wide.“You what?" He set his mug on the counter."I want to know if you'll be here when I get back." He could feel anger even though she looked calm, but even with her calmness and anger he could also see her nervousness."For how long?" Kate asked."Three days," Robert answered, "and then I decided to take a vacation, three weeks off." Kate took a deep breath. "

~THE MEIR’S AND THE LOVETT’S~ The table was quiet as Brooke, Sandino, Ella and Leslie ate. When the idea of getting the two families together came up, it sounded like a good plan, but there was some sort of tension in the room. For some odd reason, Sandino expected there to be a lot of conversation, but he guessed the mood was a little tense considering the fact that their seventeen year old kids were going to be parents. “So Brooke.” Leslie finally broke out, “Sandino tells me you’re happy about having a girl.” Brooke nodded with a smile. “I myself was hoping for a boy. They’re much easier to handle than girls.” “How so?” Brooke asked softly. Leslie looked. “Well, their clothes are simple, and cheap. Girls have all these different colors and styles and designs and jewel

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~The thing that I hated about unpacking is when boxes, peeled tape, newspaper and bubble wrap start overcrowding every surface in the place. As I unpacked, it just seemed like I was making a bigger mess. I was getting rid of all the plastic bags and boxes when I heard my cell phone ring from the back room; I had left it on the bed. It was the only place that didn’t seem so messy, I rushed down the hall just in time to answer it.“Hello?” I asked. I lay on my stomach, feet up in the air“Hey, Kahlan, it's Carly, what are you up to right now?” I rolled over on my back, taking a quick glance around the room. There were boxes piled on top of boxes. Oddly, the bedroom was the most organized room thus far.“Um nothing,” I

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~“So what’s this all about?” I asked Carly as I used my fork to pick up one of my chickens. I had a variety on my plate, honey, barbequed, and fried.“What do you mean?” Carly asked after taking a sip of her drink.“I mean this whole treating me to dinner. I’m just waiting for Kate to pop up out of nowhere.” I chuckled nervously, while Carly stared.“Do you trust me?” Carly asked. With that question I figured Kate was on her way. “I told you she wasn’t going to be anywhere around.” I stared at her.“So that brings me back to my original question. What is this all about?”

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~It was late morning and I was running around the house trying to get myself together. I didn’t want to be late for my first meeting with Doctor Hersch. I had finally found my purse and keys and I was on my way out the door when my cell phone rang.“Hello?”“Hey, what happened last night? I thought you were going to come over.” I smiled. I had recognized the voice instantly, it was Damon.“Yeah, I’m sorry,” I replied, “Carly and I got home pretty late, and instead of grabbing clothes like I was supposed to, I passed out, but don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you tonight.”“Oh yeah?” Damon asked intrigued. I chuckled.

~KAHLAN AND ELISHA~“Just start off by telling me about your closest friends,” Hersch said. I stared.“Well my closest friend would have to be Justin, I mean Carly,” I quickly changed my mind. She looked.“Why the indecisiveness?” She asked.“Well, in recent events Justin and I have sort of drifted apart.”“Ok, tell me about Carly.” That surprised me. Damon would have wanted to unravel the mystery as to why Justin and I’s relationship was on the rocks but Hersch here, just simply ignored it.“Well, I don’t really know what to say. She’s young, beautiful, and popular.” She smiled.
SECRETS CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT
~CARLY AND KATE~Carly hated when her father left… Usually; but that was because she was alone and had a monster like James watching her every move, but now, Kate was here. She was like an actual mother. She cooked, she cleaned and engaged Carly into conversations that she couldn’t have with her dad. How could Kahlan not want this? It seemed like the Mercer family was apart for way too long and it was about time that they got together. After everything that they have been through, they deserve a happiness that only a family can provide. Carly raced downstairs to find Kate looking at the screen of her phone. There was a picture of a little girl, probably Kahlan.“I have the tickets,” Carly said, holding out two plane tickets. “Now all you have to do is say yes.” Kate stared, knowing exactly what Carly was referring to.

~DAMON AND MR.LESTER~“Mr. Meir”, Mr. Lester said as he followed Damon into his office. “Thank you for coming in on a Saturday. I know you’re usually off these days.” Damon smiled.“Oh, you’re welcome. It’s fine.” He took a seat at the desk. “So what can I do for you?” Damon invited him to sit, but he declined.“I just wanted to speak to you about Kahlan Mercer.” Damon stared at him.“Ah… what about her?”“Well, I’ve switched her over to another doctor, of course you know that, but the doctor needs briefing on the patient.” Damon nodded.“And what can I
