Annie and Greenlee walking and talking on the way to Dorothy’s Fine Dining
“ So I thought it would be nice if we got to know one another since we’re! Greenlee gulps here as she says this “sisters”
“Why that’s so nice of you Greenlee after everything I did to you! I’m sorry!’Annie says “I’d like to be on speaking terms even if you can’t forgive me! ’ Annie says reaching out to the woman who is her half sister
“I’m sorry too. Ryan was your husband and because I thought I still wanted him I went after him and ruined your happy life!’ Greenlee says boldly “I loved him once!’
“I know and he promised as both the moon! He didn’t deliver though did he?’ Annie states
“I was jealous of you! You have the one thing I wanted Ryan’s child. Emma. I lost mine but you and Kendall both had that piece of Ryan .In fact that horrible Dr. Madden told me that I would never have a child!’
“But you gave birth to Twins!’Annie says
“Yes but he said that I would never have children and carry them to term! I was so scared until I delivered the twins Jacob and James!’ Greenlee says
“I saw you out with them at the mall they are really getting big!’Annie says
“You should have come over and said hello to your nephews. They are five months old now! I’m not saying we can be close friends but we could talk when we see one another!’Greenlee offers
“Thanks!’ says Annie as she pushes open the door to Dorothy’s Fine Dining.
“Surprise!’ a shout goes up inside the restaurant as people pop up from where they were hiding!
“Oh dear they’re having a party! I guess there closed!’ says Annie not realizing it’s her party
“Annie this is for you and Scotty! See Emma beat us here with Scotty!’Says Greenlee kindly
“But you hate me why would you do this’ asks Annie
“You are my sister and you deserve a party? And because it will seriously tick off Erica and anything that ticks off Erica I want to do!’ says Greenlee “Dad would want me to reach out to you heaven knows I made a few mistakes that he forgave that’s what family does!’
“You seriously consider me family?’ asks Annie happily surprised tears forming in her eyes that Greenlee is reaching out to her
“Well you have a long way to go in proving to me that you act like family but yes I guess!’ says Greenlee grudgingly Now come over and meet your nephews! “ I swear to you now though you better never hurt them because as you know I can be a revengeful bitch and if anyone ever hurt my Jacob or James let’s just say I go more than all Janet Dillon on them!’
“I promise on my life and Emma, and Scotty’s I’d never harm them Greenlee! I thought I’d go out of my mind when I thought I’d never see Scotty again when Caitlin took him!’Annie says
“Yes I heard about that! You could says it’s one of the reasons were having this party. I put myself in your place when that happened and I started thinking about everything and I decide to let bygones be bygones.’ Greenlee states
“Thank-you for that Greenlee I know I did some crazy things to you when I was out of my mind!’Annie apologises
“Well enough with the love fest girls let’s get this party started!’ says Kendall who is visiting from Canada “Mom would definitely hate this!’
“Mom would hate what?’ says Erica arriving at the last minute carry a gift
“You’re here?’Oh I’m so glad I thought we were going to have to fit in Mother’s Day later?’ asks Kendall
“Where are my er.Grandsons?’ asks Erica almost choking on grandsons but getting it out!
“You’re grandsons are with their Daddy Zach!’ answers Kendall ” but that doesn’t answer the question in my head why are you at Annie’s baby shower? She stabbed you .’
“For the same reason you are here to support Jack and Greenlee!’ Erica answers
“Yes Greenlee did kind of throw this together at the last minute!’Kendall says
Annie is really happy smiling as they all play games and then as the shower is coming to aclose she opens the presents. Emma writes down the gifts
