8:13 PM
Phillipa, Nastasia, Phoebe, and Judah sat in Scotts SUV while they waited for the police to finish up. Scott had stayed in the apartment to make sure Cody didn't leave or try to hurt anyone before the cops showed. Once they arrived they wanted to get a statement, so Pippa and Phoebe were waiting with the kids in the car.
Out of desperation, Pippa tried to call Lin three times, but he didn't answer, so she figured he was just busy. Therefore, she called Jasmine for help. "Where are you, now?" Jasmine asked through the speakerphone. Pippa leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes.
"We are in Scott's truck with his fiancé and son," Phillipa answered, grabbing a gasp from Jasmine. She looked to the backseat to see her daughter asleep and Phoebe burping Judah.
"Scotty has a fiancé and kid? Is she pretty? Why didn't you tell me? When can I meet her?" Jasmine bombarded. Pippa playfully rolled her eyes and Phoebe giggled at the questions.
"Jazzy, she can hear you and that's not important right now. Right now, I need you to call Lin. I think he's ignoring me, but I need to talk to him about," Pippa trailed off hoping she wouldn't have to tell Jasmine the obvious reason.
"Yeah okay. Give me a sec. I'll call him off of Ant's phone," Jasmine replied. Pippa nodded and sat her phone on her lap. She watched the cop lights flash throughout her brother's barely tinted windows and waited for Jasmine to come back. The young mother kicked her legs over the middle console and let her feet slip into the driver's seat. She took a quick glance at her baby girl in the back seat asleep.
"God, I hope he's dead," Pippa whispered, as she turned back to the driver's side window. But with her luck, she watched the cops haul off her baby daddy through the front of her building. "So close," Pippa whispered. Soon, Scott ran from the front entrance and hopped in the car. He slid under his sister's feet and shut his doors. Out of instinct, he locked the doors, then turned to his family.
"How are you doing?" He checked. Pippa shrugged and pointed to her phone.
"I'm fine, just waiting for Jasmine to come back and tell me if Lin is answering," Pippa answered. Scott nodded and turned to Phoebe.
"Can I see him?" He asked with his arms outstretched. Phoebe nodded and passed their son to his father. "Is Stas okay? Does she need anything? Are you good? I can go back and get something if-"
"Scott, calm down. Take a break. Hold your son. Just relax. We are okay," Pippa smiled. She nodded and watched her big brother take a deep breath and go into father mode.
10:27 PM
Lin sat on the couch with Chris and Leslie. The guys came over to help cheer him up, but all Lin wanted was a drink. A drink he didn't have because Karen came through his house and ransacked it. He watched she and Mandy take out all of the alcohol out of his immediate vicinity all night. He cried three times in the night. The first time was because he was pissed that they were taking his alcohol. Then, he cried because he was mad that he let himself slip. Lastly, he was pissed that he let a girl do that to him. Then again it wasn't just any girl. It was the love of his life, and the mother of his child...almost. He loved Pippa. Not only that, but he was in love with Pippa. But tonight, his boys were determined to either help him get over her or get under her. There was no in between. "Hey guys, hold up. Ant is calling," Chris said as he picked up Lin's phone. He slid the answer button and put his phone on speaker. "What's up, Ant?" Chris asked.
"It's Jasmine. Where the hell is Lin?" Jasmine yelled. Lin's eyes went wide.
"Why?" Daveed asked.
"Because Pippa's ex was just arrested on a cocaine charge and he trashed her house. I don't give a fuck if he's mad, they are still officially together!" Jasmine explained, "So Lin because I know you are fucking listening, call your girlfriend! She has something to tell you! And she needs you!" Jasmine yelled right before she hung up. All the guys went silent as Lin started to panic and slid off the couch. Quickly the writer took his phone from Chris.
"I'll be back," Lin whispered. He treaded to Sebastian's empty room and sat on the child's bed. He slowly dialed his girlfriend's number and placed the phone to his ear. The phone rang twice before Pippa picked up.
"Hello?" Pippa said. She sounded exhausted.
"How have you been?" Lin asked. Pippa sighed.
"Can you meet me at the CVS on the corner of your building?" Pippa asked. "I had to leave in a rush and Nani has a fever," Pippa explained.
"Yeah, let me tell the guys where I'm going," Lin said. He hung up and quickly ran down the stairs. In a solid motion, he scooped his jacket and keys off the counter.
"Where are you going?" Chris asked. Lin waved his phone and smirked.
"I'm going to get my baby back," Lin answered. The guy's high fives and Daveed slipped Oak a twenty.
"I told you, bitch!" Bragged Oak as he dropped the money in his pocket and smirked. Lin shook his head and jogged out of his apartment.
10:49 PM
Pippa leaned against the wall and watched people pass her as she waited for Lin. She played with her stomach absentmindedly, as Lin approached her. "Hey," he said, as he stopped right in front of her. Pippa let her hands drop as Lin stood in front of her.
"Hey, I guess you heard," Pippa said. Lin placed his hands on her hips and pulled her into him.
"Yeah, but I don't care about him. I'm just glad you and Nani are safe," Lin said. Pippa nodded and pushed her hair behind her ears.
"Yeah," she whispered with tears shedding. Pippa's hand flew to her to wipe her tears. "At the moment I was pissed, but now I'm just glad Scott was there," Pippa confessed. Lin placed his hand under Pippa's chin and lift her face towards his and did something he hadn't in a long time. He kissed her. It was gentle and sweet, but definitely forceful and much needed. Pippa pulled out and leaned against the wall behind her. "I can't do this," Pippa whispered.
"What?" Lin asked. He started to panic again.
"I can't. I need you to know something before we continue," Pippa said. Lin stared her and placed his hand back on her hip. "I'm not pregnant anymore," she whispered. Lin's jaw dropped along with his hands. He crossed his hands and went into papa bear mode.
"What? Wh-wh-why not?" He stuttered.
"I miscarried on the day I was gonna tell you that I wanted to keep it," Pippa said. Lin gasped and pulled Pippa into a huge hug.
"So, when Karen found you bleeding out, you were losing the baby?" He asked. Pippa felt her heart being ripped out of her chest. She hated that she would never get to meet her son or daughter. And she hated that she felt solely responsible, even though it was Cody's fault. In the back of her mind, there was always that 'if only' factor. If only she had known. Or if only she had kicked Cody to the curb. Or if only she had never slept with him in high school. If Only.
Lin pulled away from Pippa and pecked her lips. "It's okay. I know you didn't want this to happen. I'm not mad at you," Lin stated. Pippa nodded and started to walk towards the store with Lin.
"Are we good now? I miss being with you and Nani misses her real daddy," Pippa asked. Lin grinned at the thought of having his little princess around again.
"Hell yeah, we are great. Can we get this medicine so I can see my baby girl?" Lin asked. A smile painted Pippa's face as she laced her fingers with Lin's. The two walked happily in the store and for a moment forgot the craziness that just took place.
11:00 PM
Lin walked Pippa to her hotel room and stopped in front of the door. "Do you want to come in? My brother is back and Nani would love to see you," Pippa asked. Lin nodded and let Pippa lead the way. "Scott!" Pippa called. Lin walked in to see a woman on the couch with a baby, but no one else. Suddenly, a guy came in the room with Nastasia on his hip.
"Daddy!" The child called as soon as she met eyes with Lin. She squirmed out of her uncle's arms and ran to Lin. The actor picked up the little girl and spun her.
"I missed you. Did you miss me?" Lin asked. Nastasia nodded. "Do you want Momma and I to make you feel better and tuck you in?" Lin asked.
"Yeah," Nastasia replied as she coughed a bit.
"Alright, Momma, let's get you in the bed," Pippa smiled. Scott watched her sister walk in the back room with her boyfriend.
"Crazy kids," Scott laughed. Phoebe gave him a weird look.
"What are you talking about. Her boyfriend is only a year younger than you. He's twenty-eight," Phoebe smirked. Scott dropped his smile and looked back at the room. He was about to jump off the couch, but Phoebe stopped him. "Let them be. They are adults," Phoebe said. Scott rolled his eyes and leaned back on the couch.
"But she's a baby!" Scott whined. Phoebe smacked her lips and gave her son to his father.
"She's twenty-three," Phoebe replied. Scott rolled his eyes and pecked his fiancé's lips. "Don't worry about them, worry about me," she seduced. Scott quickly sat Judah in his pack n play and pulled Phoebe into his lap. That night went pretty well for all that happened but didn't last long come the next day.
11:36 AM
The rehearsal came quickly the next day for Lin and Pippa. No one knew they were together and this rehearsal was when they were gonna tell everyone. They were basically going to actually kiss during Helpless. They hadn't since Cody stepped back into their lives and it didn't please Tommy, to say the least.
The rehearsal went by slowly until it was time for Helpless. They got to the end and NO ONE expected the kiss and when it came there were mixed reactions. Some were happy because they won a bet, other were just excited, but Karen was pissed. "Ay! Coño! Lin, to the hall! Now!" Karen yelled. She dragged the little guy to the hall with a quickness.
"What?" Lin asked.
"Really? Her?" Karen asked. Lin rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall.
"Yeah! Why not? I love her!" Lin exclaimed. "I don't get why you hate her so much!" Lin yelled. Karen rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Because she's not like us! She doesn't have our culture and she knows nothing about you! She didn't even know about your addiction! Lin, she's not good for you!" Karen yelled. Lin stared in shock and shook his head in disbelief.
"You are no longer needed. Sebastian is fine. You can go home now," Lin said. Karen realized how she sounded and immediately regretted her words.
"Lin, I'm-"
"Go home, Karen. I'm not in the mood," Lin shut her down. Karen nodded and bowed her head before she left out. Lin looked at the door to see Pippa staring at him, biting her lip. He held out his arms and watched her jolt into his body. "I'm so sorry, babe," he whispered.
"She'll come around," Pippa optimistically replied. Lin was confused as to how she could be so positive about someone he hated her. But, that was just her nature. In all honesty, Phillipa was happy her family was back together.
