Jensen Ackles Likes Where ‘Big Sky’ Season 3 Finale Left Beau & Jenny

I have to say how seamlessly Beau has fit into the world of Big Sky since his introduction last season.

Jensen Ackles: It’s never easy coming onto an established show and trying to find your footing. I came in [the] third season on The Boys; now I’m coming in third season on Big Sky. I’m just like, OK, here we go again. It’s like the new kid at school. But everybody was very welcoming. Everybody was very gracious, and yeah, they gave me a character I thought filled maybe a little bit of a void in what we were seeing in the show. I just tried to hit those notes and bring a little levity to what is essentially a pretty grim basis for a show, which is just murder mystery constantly. But it’s good to layer in some of the lighter moments. I think it just gives the show and the storyline some complexity that makes it makes it more entertaining.

At the beginning of the season, you joked with Elwood Reid about when you would go all Liam Neeson, and you certainly got to do that in these last two episodes with Avery (Henry Ian Cusick), Sunny, and Buck to save Emily.

Yeah, I feel like that might have been a little prophetic for me. [Laughs] I think I said it, and I willed it to happen, and Elwood was like, “look, man, it was your fault; you said it.” I was happy with the way it ended up. I kind of figured that that was where we were going, and I was looking forward to getting to show a different side of Beau and get to play that less happy-go-lucky, good ol’ boy and more of just a father in absolute misery and fury.

At the end of the season, Beau is kind of torn between moving back to Houston with Emily and Carla (Angelique Cabral) and facing his ghosts there and maybe staying and looking forward. Do you think he has any idea what he wants to do?

I don’t know. The show leaves Beau, I think, in a real contemplative state. I think that he has a strong desire to reconnect with his ex-wife. I think he still does love her. Obviously, he wants to be in as close proximity to his daughter as possible. That’s very enticing for reconnecting with his ex-wife as well. But then, at the same time, does that just lead to the same place that ended up breaking them up in the first place? And is this new role and a new place with new faces and new friends a fresh start for him that he needs to kind of move past what he was coming from in Houston? I think it sets up those questions in a great way. Whether or not we’ll answer them that’s not up to me.

How does Beau feel about Jenny? I kept expecting something to happen in that final scene…

Yeah. In my opinion, that’s just good TV. Leave the audience wanting more is something that I’ve heard many, many times, and I think it’s just a formula that works. And I think we gave just a little bit of what some of the audience was hoping for. There was a moment there, and there was a connection there, and there were clearly sparks. But do we need to play it out in a graphic sex scene? I don’t know. That’s for the streamers. We’re still doing broadcast TV here, still trying to keep it a little friendly.

Kisses do tend to happen in finales…

Let me ask you this, would it have been even worse had we started leaning towards the kiss and they cut the credits?

Probably.

Probably, right? [Laughs] Or would you have rather seen, like, boom, kiss, and the bedroom door flies open, and we’re just hungrily attacking each other, and we fall onto the bed, boom credits?

I was expecting to be left with the question of whether they would even go further than a kiss and cross that line.

Yeah, absolutely. I think that was that moment. A kiss wasn’t necessarily needed for the moment of, “OK, the walls have just come down. The lines are certainly being crossed, but let’s not jump across the line. Let’s tiptoe for now until we figure out what this is.” I thought that was a nice way of doing it in a way that wasn’t scratching that itch that everybody wanted to scratch so much, you know what I mean? I appreciated it, but I could also see why people were like, “Oh, come on, give us the goods.”

Is he ready to open up to Jenny about his ghosts? He says after a few more beers, but that’s different from being ready.

That was just like; I’m not ready yet. I’ve got to warm up to that. As I would know, a way for a Texas guy to say that is, “well, I’m gonna need a few more beers before I get into all that,” which is just, “I need to be a little bit more comfortable. I need to know how I’m gonna phrase it, how I’m gonna say it. Because you start to think about how you’re gonna react and how I’m gonna feel, and do I really want to open up that Pandora’s box with this person who I work with on a daily basis? I’m gonna have to see her on Monday. Is this something that now it’s gonna be awkward?” So there’s, I think, a lot of questions in that moment, which fired it up in a way that that made it not so sexual. It made it like two humans really, truly connecting. It wasn’t just like, oh, let’s rip each other’s clothes off. It’s like, oh, let’s strip away the walls that we’ve been hiding behind all season, and let’s maybe get to an emotional point here with each other that could certainly then lead to intimacy.

Katheryn and I talked about it. We talked about that a lot more than I think normal. She and I usually come in guns blazing, we’re ready to go, and we can hit those script notes and do our job. But this scene took a little bit more kind of ironing out just from the emotional standpoint where we wanted to land and how we wanted it to go from A to B and B to C. And I thought it was a deeper, richer way of going about it in the fact that it was less just, oh, here’s two adults that are attracted to each other, and so let’s start making out and head of the bedroom, and more about, this is a friend who clearly there’s chemistry there, and she wants to know about my backstory. Maybe it’s now time to drop those walls down and start opening up to this person — which we know when you do that, that just leads to more things. So I think had there been 15 more minutes of the episode, we probably would’ve seen Beau leaving the next morning.

Talk about filming the Beau-Buck fight.

Yeah. I kind of knew that was coming down [the] pipe, and Elwood had mentioned that this was gonna roll out. I was really excited because I’m just such a huge fan of Rex. And I told him that the first day. He showed up with Reba, and everybody was like, oh, Reba, Reba, Reba. And I just ran right up to Rex. I was like, “dude, I watched so many of your movies. I grew up watching you. I’m such a fan.”

He and I are both were both born and raised in Texas, and we just got along really well. And so, to get to work with him in that capacity, I was tickled. It was a lot of fun. He’s such a great performer and scene partner and just a good guy all around, not just working with him on camera. Just throw a football with him, just hang out with him, drink a beer with him. He’s that kind of guy. So to get to do that kind of work with somebody like that just made it all that much more fulfilling and fun and exciting.

I liked the nods to Supernatural this season, especially Beau giving Cassie salt for her new house, so she’s protected — “from demons,” as she remarks.

I can’t remember if that was in the script because it was so long ago. I think it was an ad lib — because I did a few different versions of that. That was one thing that they kind of encouraged me to do was do one scripted, and then if I’ve got some ideas, I can ad-lib some stuff. Not changing the script, but just changing a word here like that, for instance, I’ll just throw it in. It’s not gonna change the scene at all. It’s not gonna change the moment. It’s not gonna change anybody else’s dialogue, but it just kind of keeps it fresh. I got to do that quite a bit this season, which is a lot of fun. And I think that that was just an ad-lib that I think that I threw out there. [Laughs]

[deaneverafter]

Lmao, not another destiel shipper, talking about how Jensen doesn't have romantic chemistry with Katheryn, but does have it with Kylie, Angelique and Dedee. Oh, and of course, that destiel is canon. Like, I'm so sorry, but where is this romantic chemistry Beau has with Cassie or Denise, where all his scenes with Cassie were platonic, and with Denise were platonic AND cringey and awkward. And with Carla, there isn't just no chemistry, there's a very loud uncomfortable, negative, antagonistic energy? But then, I guess if you saw a lot of chemistry between Dean and Cass, him beating Dean almost to death was the sexiest thing you'd ever experienced, I can see why Carla constantly putting Beau down and using him for selfish reasons would also be sexy to you 😬 And you'd find Carla to be an extremely strong, independent woman. A woman whose "strength" comes from constantly putting down everyone around her, and her independence comes from not being able to do a single thing without a man holding her hand, or better yet, fixing up her problems for her. Like the time she sent Beau to deal with and save her shady husband Avery, who'd only really ever become shady because she's a gold-digger and he couldn't afford to lose her by being poor. Very sexy and strong and independent and not selfish, definitely not the most toxic character I've seen on TV for a while and for sure not a slap to the face to actual strong women, who know how to be kind and mindful of others, while still fighting for themselves and standing up for themselves. Also, that Beau and Jenny was something forced (sure, Jan, something forced that the showrunner kept trying to shut down because of his Carla obsession and need to reduce Beau to "dad!Beau" "Carla's ex" instead of being his own character, but it just kept working because of the chemistry and their personalities and natural progression of the story), but Dean and Castiel is a totally natural story, no fan service whatsoever, and the confession was definitely not trenchcoat man's last ditch effort for relevancy, but a totally necessary, normal scene, that made sense to be said, after he's been treating Dean like trash, as a friend, let alone as something else. Also, you're h*m*ph*bic if you ship BA/JH, an interesting, healthy, chemistry filled dynamic that makes sense for the characters as they are, but don't ship destiel, which is, well, we don't have time to get into that. Can't leave out the accusations and name calling, can we? And of course that Beau being with Cassie would make sense (without the romantic chemistry, without any feelings on either of their parts, despite the fact that Cassie running off with yet another man Jenny's in love with would kind of make her a really terrible person. After, you know, sleeping with Jenny's husband, that Jenny forgave, Jenny who took a bullet for her despite that. Like, what must you think of Cassie if you want her to betray Jenny AGAIN?) Or being with Carla would make sense. After it's pretty clear that their whole marriage was toxic af. After she left him in a week when he was grieving and needed support the most, because the second it's not about Carla, she's not interested. After she married a new guy within a year, and forced Beau to move across the country, leaving behind any support he did have left. After she's continued to spend the next two years after the divorce treating Beau like trash. After she had no trouble selfishly using Beau to get her shady husband and herself out of trouble. After she absolutely shamelessly, with no qualms, painted a target on Beau's back by telling an assassin his name and place of work, just to save her own ass (that was right after the day he already almost got shot in the back once because of her). Where is the sense?

Also according to this person, Jenny is pathetic and pushy (I guess we live in a world where being there for your friend who you have feelings, respecting his boundaries, letting him share whenever he wants and as much or little he wants, having your partner's back in life and death situations, that makes you pushy and pathetic. But Carla constantly accosting him at his place of work, forcing him to do her bidding even when he says he's got other things going on, showing up and humiliating him in general and in front of his coworkers and friends, manipulating him into blaming himself for needing time to grieve someone very important to him, that's the epitome of a strong woman) and that Beau doesn't have any feelings for her. Sure, I also constantly flirt with people I don't have feelings for, let them in and talk to them about deep personal stuff, get jealous over them, and in general look at them with what can objectively only be called the most adoring and intense gazes. (Oh, but of course, Dean who has said over and over again, been consistent in his stance, that he sees Castiel as a brother, he for sure has romantic feelings for Cass. Cass, who shows his "love" for Dean by beating him up whenever he does something Castiel doesn't like. Who's left him for dead on several occasions, including the most important one. Cass, who manipulated him into apologizing for daring to be upset that Castial's spawn murdered his mother in cold blood. Castiel who watches Dean sleep even after being told repeatedly to stop. Castiel, who looks like he'd rather be dead than be in Dean's vicinity whenever he's around, but especially when Dean dares to find small joys in everyday things. Seeing that, Dean being happy, that certainly is the deepest circle of hell for Cass, the greatest offense. But if course, this is the greatest love story told, ever. Much romance)

Like, just say you hate Jenny and go, Karen, that you hate her because she's better than your main manz trenchcoat guy will ever be, that her and Beau will always have more chemistry than deathstiel could ever even dream up 🤷🏻‍♀️ It would save you a lot of trouble and lies 🙄 Truly, I am SO shocked that these two bad takes, across two different shows, would come from the same person

"Plan The Escape" - Murrieta Dance Project, senior small group contemporary, 3rd overall, Showstopper Anaheim I, February 2018 ★ Choreography by Kirsten Russell ☆ Dancers ☆ Talia Seitel, Elizabeth Rudisill, Skylar Yeung, Payton Sullivan, Mackenzie Clemens, Avery Dorflinger, Angelique Villasenor, Alex Gonzalez, Alana Figurski ♪ Plan The Escape ~ Son Lux

[justjensenanddean]

Big Sky closed out its second season with Cassie, Jenny and new sheriff Beau getting friendly as they knocked back some after-work drinks. And to hear showrunner Elwood Reid tell it, Season 3 — which is subtitled Deadly Trails — will be even cozier.

But for whom, exactly? “I’ll leave it for interpretation,” Reid teases, calling Beau (played by new series regular Jensen Ackles) “a very fun, interesting guy — and both of these women find him fun and interesting. As the season progresses, there might be some sparks on one of those sides.”

Viewers will be able to start searching for those sparks when the drama returns on Wednesday (ABC, 10/9c), but Reid warns that you’ll have to look closely… at least at first.

“I’m playing it very open-ended in the beginning. I don’t want to tilt my hand where we’re going,” he tells TVLine. “Suffice to say, all my actors — but particularly Jensen — he’s got chemistry with everybody.”

Dewell & Hoyt multitask

One big change for the Deadly Trails season: Each episode will feature a crime that is solved either by Cassie and Denise at the private investigation office or Jenny and Beau at the sheriff’s department, or some combination thereof. Meanwhile, the season’s overarching mystery will continue to unfold, as well. “And, like all Big Sky stuff,” Reid promises, “all of it eventually ends up being intertwined in some way.” (And expect some late-season additions to the Dewell & Hoyt staff, as well.)

With whom will Beau go?

So, back to Beau and those “sparks.” First, let’s deal with some figures from the sheriff’s romantic past: As we previously reported, Big Sky has recruited Angelique Cabral (Maggie) to play Carla, the ex-wife Beau has admitted he still loves. (“She’s a firecracker,” Reid says with a laugh.) And she, as well as her new husband, Avery (Lost alum Henry Ian Cusick), and Beau and Carla’s daughter, Emily, will be on one of Sunny’s glamping trips when things go sideways.

“It’s fun to play this idea that [Beau] is a guy who truly does love this ex-wife, is in love with his ex-wife, and does really want to be there for his daughter,” the EP says. But does that mean that the new lawman’s easy — dare we say, flirty — rapport with both Cassie and Jenny is destined to stay strictly platonic? Reid’s cagey answer is this:

“Last year, with all of the rollercoaster ride that Cassie took emotionally with the death of her father and her little affair with Lindor, and then Jenny of course with the character of Travis, it’s just… I opted for a slow burn this season. And I leave it to you to see which way that ball is going to bounce.”

Top 5 Stefan ships

Okay wow. This is a hard one omg. I have played Stefan Nott for around ten months now, I think, and he’s has a ridiculous number of ships because he has chemistry with like literally EVERYONE? So here are my top fav ships for him!

Stolena (with Dolena Greengrass) - OTP of all OTPs! Because they are bffs in love since they were kids and they went through so much together. And one without the other is incomplete. He’s so fucking devoted to her and loves her and just cares for her so fucking much, it is just sometimes beyond my understanding of love and loyalty tbh.

Stefanyx (with Lennox Burke) - My first ever ship for him and I remember it was supposed to be like them casually dating or something but it turned into so much more and ugh, feels.

Rosanott (with Rosalie King) - Shit, the chemistry with this one was insane. And I had to alter plots left right and center because this ship was crashing through without warning but its so worth it.

Stefalia (with Thalia Renard) - This one brought out such a different side of Stefan, the cute, dorky side and it is honestly is the most adorable ship ever.

Angelnott (with Angelique Vanderbilt) - I’ve literally been rping Angie and Stefan since I made Stefan and they’re so obviously attracted to each other but Stefan is huge on bro code and we are yet to make this actually sail lolol. It’s hilarious and cute and I love it.

                                           ★ AU: NO WAR ★

Imagina un mundo sin guerra, sin distinciones entre magos y muggles, sin temor o sombras, un mundo en paz... Todos los magos son iguales sin importar su proveniencia, el Ministerio de Magia salvaguarda a sus ciudadanos, los días parecen soleados y no se encuentra ni un rastro de desigualdad, los apellidos no pesan en los hombros de quienes los llevan, los muggles son tratados como una persona más y el mundo es un mejor lugar.  

¿Cómo se llevará a cabo el evento?

Como el título indica, se trata de un AU (siglas de Universo Alterno). Para quienes no estén versados en el término, un AU es una realidad alterna a la normal. En esta ocasión vamos a rolear un mundo donde no existe, ni existió, la guerra, los puristas y la ideología de superioridad. Todo es mucho más pacífico y las personas son tratadas como iguales. Es decir: No existen los mortifagos, tampoco Lord Voldemort, ni la Orden del Fénix. Las familias puristas son sólo familias mágicas y no hay distinción entre sangre puras, mestizos e hijos de muggles. Todos los personajes asesinados se encuentran con vida, el Ministerio es un lugar estable (Millicent Bagnold es la Ministra actual), y tantos de los eventos que marcaron a nuestros personajes jamás ocurrieron. 

Está en sus manos decidir cómo afecta a su personaje. Mediten cuál sería la vida, personalidad, relaciones y eventos del mismo si nada de esto fuera una realidad. No torturas, asesinatos, marcas tenebrosas. La ideología purista no existe. En ese caso, ¿quién es su personaje? Podría encontrarse en una relación con otra persona, actuar de diferente forma, trabajar en un oficio diferente. Varios aspectos de cada uno de ellos cambian.

Obviamente hay aquellos que no: Quizá alguien es una persona fría por otras razones ajenas a la guerra, o cierta persona sufrió el mismo trauma de la infancia. Todos estos detalles permanecen, sin embargo lo relacionado con la guerra y sus razones desaparece. 

Esta es una pausa de la trama al tratarse de una linea de tiempo diferente. Se roleará mediante starters generales y threads privados.

¿Qué personajes continuarían con vida?

Andreas Nott, Angelique (sin apellido porque vamos a borrarlo, shh), Calista Gibbon, Caradoc Dearborn (jamás desapareció), Carlotta Flint, Elizabeth Smith, Elise Bones, Evan Rosier, Fabianna Pucey, Florence Greengrass, Gemma Shingleton, Hans Zabini, Krista Collins, Leon Travers, Larissa Scamander, Marlene McKinnon, Regulus Black, Sebastian Li, Icarus Wright, y varios familiares de personajes. 

Cabe agregar que Adolph Mulciber y Edmund Avery no residen en Azkaban y Jonathan Nott nunca lo hizo.

¿Es necesario modificar a mi personaje?

En lo absoluto. Si tu personaje no se ha visto afectado por la guerra a gran escala, puede tratarse de la misma persona. Depende de su historia y psicología. 

¿El roleo es de carácter obligatorio?

Efectivamente. El dash completo cambiará a esta linea del tiempo, de modo que si no desean participar, sólo requerimos de un aviso de su parte.

¿Se permitirá continuar threads pasados y rolear fuera del evento?

Por el momento no. El dash entero tratará esta realidad, por ende no estará permitida la respuesta de ningún flashback o thread fuera del evento.

→ ESTE EVENTO DARÁ INICIO EL DÍA 23 DE MARZO MEDIANTE UN AVISO Y CONTARÁ CON UNA DURACIÓN INDEFINIDA. SE LE DARÁ FIN ACORDE AL ANUNCIO DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN.

¿Alguna duda? El ask está abierto. ¡Diviértanse!

Chapter 2 ~ The Unknown

Aiden

You know, growing up without your own mom in your life is hella hard. I understand Dominique all the way. I mean her mother killed 3 people, and tried to kill my stepmom, uncle and cousin, and she’s in jail, all my mom did was leave.  

As I grew up, I knew that Olivia wasn’t really my “mom”, even if I did call her that. I was about 7 when I realized that I was the product of someone else, and about 10 when I found out that my dad had cheated on Olivia with my mom, and got pregnant with me. Apparently, my parents have a very toxic relationship, to the point of always arguing and fighting, but My pops doesn’t have that with Liv. 

Even though I’m 19 years old, I still wonder about where my real mom is. I’ve always wanted to know, but every time I talk to my dad about it, he shuts down. I tend to not bring it up to Olivia, because she thinks of me as her own, and I don’t want to upset her and make her think she isn’t enough for me. When that’s not the case at all, I love Olivia and I would die for her, I just want to know where I come from.

After all of my back and forth decisions, I’ve decided to ask for help. Who better to ask than my older sister Sage, and this is why I am here at her apartment that she shares with Angel.

“Aye, please get your feet off the damn coffee table!” She yelled at me, while walking into the kitchen.

Their place was really nice, and I’m still trying to figure if my parents pay for it or Angel’s parents, its too nice. I took my feet off the table, and sat at the barstool in front of the counter.

“So, what’s up, you said you wanted to talk?” She inquired

I shrugged, “I want to find my real mom, but Dad isn’t forthcoming with details, and I don’t want to bother Mom about it.”

Sage rolled her eyes, “I am still not a fan of that woman, she was horrible when we were little.”

My hope just shot through the roof, Sage remembers something.

“What do you remember about her?” I asked, calmly.

She shrugged, “I remember she had big curly red hair, her name was Avery. Your middle name is her last name, I think.”

“Jordan? Seriously?”

“I don’t really know Aye, I think she worked with Uncle Dominic when he was in the game back in the day, but you have to remember, I was like 7 or 8, I don’t remember shit like that, especially since your mother was one of the things that I blocked out when from my childhood.”

I nodded, hell I got more out of Sage, than I did my own dad.

“Oh, By the way. Talk to Ree.” I said to her.

The look she just gave me, she was so confused, “Why am I talking to Ree?”

“Cause, she thinks the way that Angel treats Dominique, will be the same way you treat her.”

She scrunched up her face. She literally looked like our mom.  

“The fuck? What would make her think that?”

I shrugged, “You did it to me when we were little, because I was a ‘half-breed’” I laughed.

She rolled her eyes and smiled, “Yeah, and we talked about that in family therapy. I apologized. But there are other reasons why Dominique and Angel don’t get along, that I don’t even know about.”

Angel

Here I am at planned parenthood with my oh so great little sister, Andrea.

After, literally blackmailing her to come here, to get an ultrasound and to make sure she actually is pregnant, here we are. I was sitting in the chairs on my phone, while Andrea was lying on the bed with her feet in the stirrups.

“I’m nervous.” She spoke out-loud

“Why?” I mumbled.

“I’m 16, and I’m going to be a mom.” She said sadly

“You don’t have to be, if you don’t want to. You have options, which is why we are here.” I spoke, looking up from my phone, she just looked at me and bit her lip. Before she could say anything, the doctor came in.

Sure enough, my sister was pregnant, having a baby, but she’s only 7 weeks in. Before she could speak, I did.

“So, what are her options here? If she wants to abort the baby, how soon could we do this? Is it a surgery or is it the pill? If she decides to keep the baby and give it up for adoption, does the clinic give us an agency or do we have to find our own.”

As the doctor, was explaining everything to me, I saw in the corner of my eye that Andrea was wiping away tears. I disregarded that and continued to listen to give her all the options she had.

After leaving and getting into my car, it was dead silent. We were half way home when I asked:

“What do you want to do?”

She shrugged and whispered, “I don’t know.”

I rolled my eyes, “Look, you decided to lay down like a grown up, and have sex, you cant expect to lie with dogs and not catch flees, Andrea.”

She bitterly chuckled, “Back to Andrea, I see.”

“You decided to have sex, now you’re pregnant. You don’t have much time, before you can legally abort the baby, or if you want to keep the baby and give it up for adoption, that’s also an option. But you have to make a decision soon. Does the father know?”

She laughed, “Hell no.”

“Do you know who the father is?” I asked  

The look she gave me, you knew she wanted to kill me.

“Why the fuck do you even care?”  

I pulled up to the house, and she started to get out the car before I grabbed her arm,

“I’m trying to help you Andrea, you can’t make this decision by yourself.” I said to her.

“How the fuck would you know?” She spat at me

I sighed, I swore to God, I would take this to my grave.

“I had an abortion before. About 2 years ago, I was in college, and Daddy was getting on me about everything, so was mommy. I slipped up and I made that decision by myself, no one knows, except you now.”

“Not even Sage?”

I shook my head, “Not even Sage. You don’t need to do this alone, Andrea. I cried everyday for a month, I also bled for so long, I couldn’t go to class, or work, I just told everyone I had mono. But It was because of that. Now if you want to tell Mommy and Daddy, I suggest you do it once you have a solution.”

She looked at me in somewhat shock, “I don’t want to abort the baby, or give it up for adoption. I don’t know what I want to do.”

She got out of the car and ran into the house, I again rolled my eyes and walked into the house after getting out of the car.

“Angelique…. Hair!!!” I heard my father say. I rolled my eyes, yet again, my daddy always had a problem with my hair, I change it up so much, I don’t even remember that I changed it. It’s currently blue

“Daddy, we have this conversation, every time I change my hair.”

“Dominic, leave her alone, you know she likes her hair like this.” My Mawmaw said.

I smiled, I haven’t seen Mawmaw in awhile.

“Hi Mawmaw, and thank you.” I said going to kiss her cheek and sit next to her.

“Exactly, D. Leave my baby alone.” Momma said.

I just smiled, and watched as my father get irritated by the color of my hair, but I didn’t care, I paid for it majority of the time, so I don’t get why it’s an issue.

“So, where did you and Dominique go?” My mother asked me,

I knew that she knew something was up, because I never go or take Andrea anywhere. I didn’t even have a good excuse to come up with, and they all looked at me, waiting for an answer.

“We went to planned parenthood?” I heard Andrea say from behind me.

That instantly made my father stand up from leaning on the counter. My mom stopped cleaning the dishes.

“And why would the two of you go there?” My Mom asked.

When neither of us answer, my father’s voice boomed making both of us jump.

“Why would y’all go there!!”

Andrea started crying, and she said “because I’m pregnant.”

I looked at both of my parents through my lashes, and my father was pissed, and my mom was shocked.

“My office now!!” My dad yelled and pointed towards his office.

Here we go.

Giselle

Hearing that Dominique was pregnant and that Angelique took her to the clinic. I don’t know what made me more mad, or more shocked. When Dominic told them both to go to the office, they both complied, knowing not to mess with their father, and I followed them. I know Dominic is seething and that he would probably kill them both if I wasn’t there with them.

In his office, he was yelling at the both of them, Nique has always been the sensitive one out of the two, so any time anyone yelled at her, she would cry. Angelique on the other hand, a mixture of Dominic’s and I’s attitude, so she just looked at the both of us, unfazed.

“I don’t understand. Who is the father?” He said.

Dominique didn’t say anything, which only just pissed him off even more.

“ANDREA DOMINIQUE ROSSI CARTIER!!!” Once he yelled her name, the tears came even harder.

“Dominic.” I spoke softly, He was going too hard.

“Domi, do you know who the father is?” I asked

“Yes. I do, but I don’t want him to know.” She said

“And why the fuck not. You think that I’m going to raise your kid? Or your mom is going to raise your kid? We had ours. You have to grow the hell up now Dominique. You can’t depend on us.” Dominic said

“Daddy, please, I just don’t want him to know” she cried

“And how much do you know Angelique.” Dom said

She just shrugged, “No disrespect Mommy and daddy but I know, that because you were yelling at us, that I am extremely late for a business meeting. You’re upset, sure. Understandable, but What do you expect me to do. Leave her crying in the bathroom because she’s pregnant. I took her to the clinic, I helped her find out her options. I’m the responsible one here. I may not like her that much, but regardless, she’s a scared teenager, who doesn’t need to be a mother. She needs to be a teenager. I say she gets an abortion, and live her life as she should. But I am not her mother, father, step-mother or even her. I have a business to run. Excuse me.”

She got up and left.

I don’t know what the hell got into my daughter or what made her like this. But I don’t like it at all.

Dominique  

I was slightly shocked that Angel really just dismissed our parents like that. She knows for a fact that Giselle and Dominic Cartier does not do disrespect and that’s what she did.

But I wanted to get out of this mess right now, and just go to my room.

“Can I go to my room please?” I whispered.

My dad didn’t really say anything he just looked at me, very disappointed. I knew he would be, that’s why I was afraid to tell him. My mom just looked at her phone, and when I spoke she looked at me. I knew she was mad too, but not as mad as daddy.

“Yes, you can go to your room. But Andrea, we are going to want an explanation on what happened and who the father of your child is. He also deserves to know, as well as probably a sit down with his parents. We need to figure this out.” My mom spoke.

“Yes ma’am. Excuse me” I whispered and got up to leave the office, but before I could touch the door, daddy spoke,

“You’re going to have to tell your mother, as well as An’Dreanna.”

I whipped my head around, “Daddy, please do-“

“Not up for discussion Dominique, now you’re dismissed.”

I opened the door and went to my room, Listen, telling Katie that I’m pregnant, fine. She’ll probably be so excited that I’m having a baby and that she’s their grandmother, but that’s just going to break her heart. I don’t plan on speaking to my birth mother the day after I turn 18. It’s because of her, that my dad, aunt and brother is in a lot of pain, the reason why Angel literally hates my guts. She’s the reason I hate my own name, as many times as I asked her when I was younger, I wanted to change my name, her nor my maternal grandmother An’dreanna would let me.

I was 11 when I wanted to change my name to Dominique Arianna Cartier, and if Giselle would’ve let me, I would’ve taken her last name too, Boudreaux. When Angel found out that I wanted to change my name to Boudreaux, she threw a complete fit, we actually physically fought, and I cried for a long time about it. I just wanted to be like them. I wanted to fit in with my siblings, and I really don’t. All of my sisters and brothers are absolutely beautiful, they are the perfect mixture of Giselle and my dad.

Me, I look kinda like my dad, but I look more like Katie. I have most of her facial features, and my hair is a natural sandy brown compared to my siblings all black hair, so I dye my hair a lot but it doesn’t work very well. 

Don’t get me started on An’Dreanna, I have to call her every once and a while and visit her and my mother’s father, even less. I don’t even call her grandma, she prefers to be called An’Dreanna, and she calls me Andrea, as well. She’s never been a grandmother but more of a dictator.  

“Andrea, you’re gaining weight, you need to lose it. Being heavy doesn’t look good for optics.”

“Andrea, your mother said that you aren’t doing well in a class. Maybe it’s because your father and his wife aren’t spending enough time with you on homework. You’ll come to the villa over christmas, and I’ll have a tutor for you so that you can study. Us Rossi’s have a legacy to uphold.”

“Andrea…. take better care of your hair, if you’re going to dye it, please don’t look like your ghetto sister.”

“Andrea…. Andrea…. Andrea….”

The shit is absolutely exhausting. Hell, I’m even an outcast in that family. My mother’s brother and sister, are okay. But Callie doesn’t really call or visit because of her issues with Giselle’s older brother Xavier and I never really met my mother’s brother, he just sends cards on my birthday. If I’m in town with An’Dreanna, she will refer to me as her great-great niece, instead of her own granddaughter, because my own birth mother is a disgrace.

So, now do you see why I am not too happy about telling either of them?

~~~~~~~

I was laying in my bed, not really doing anything when a knock came at my door.

“Come in.” I mumbled.

The door opened and it was Giselle with food.

“You didn’t come down for dinner, so, you actually need food honey.” She spoke to me, she sat on my bed and put the food on the night stand beside my bed.

“I’m not very hungry.”

“Look, I know you’re upset, and disappointed with yourself. But I’m glad you told your father and I. Because now, we can get you all the options you need, and if you want to keep the baby, all the things you will need from now on.” She said brushing my hair back behind my ear, she was always so gentle with me.

I shrugged, “What do you think about what Angel said, do you think I should get an abortion?”

She sighed, “When I got pregnant with Angel, I thought about having one. I was supposed to marry someone I didn’t love, and I loved your father very much. My father was very much like An’Dreanna, in the aspect of controlling my life. So I hid my pregnancy from him. Your father and I, we were young so we ran away. But in us doing that Angel almost died, because I had complications. I’m glad that I didn’t have one, because I would’ve been married to someone that hurt me. I wouldn’t have your sisters or brothers, your father, or even you. But It’s up to you Domi, I can’t make that decision for you.” She paused and then looked at me, “Do you want to have one?”

I shook my head, “But i don’t know, if I don’t, everything will just be much worse for me.”

My mom looked at me, and I knew I said too much,

“Andrea, what do you mean? Who is the father of your baby?” She questioned.

I shook my head, and I started crying, I’m seriously a fuck up just like my real mother.

“Who is he, Andrea, i can’t help you if you don’t tell me.” She said seriously

“She’s just going to hate me, she’s going to hate me even more than she does now. But I didn’t know Mommy, I swear I didn’t ” I wailed

My mom got close to me, and held me. “What are you talking about?”

“There are two possibilities for who the father of my baby is. My boyfriend, Jordan, I pray to God that it is. The man who is the other, I didn’t know he was dating someone, it was kind of a few times, this was when Jordan and I broke up. She already terrorizes me, she hates that I breathe and live, like she’s going to be so mad.”   

Suddenly, she knew what I was hinting at, and her eyes grew big and her hand went over her mouth in shock.

“You’re talking about Marie. The second person that could be your baby’s father is Angel’s boyfriend.”

Chapter 27 ~You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore

So don't hate me when I say

That you don't do it for me anymore

No, you don't do it for me anymore"

Angelique

“Gi Gi?” Mason Called out to me.  

I was in my room watching tv, but MawMaw had put Mason to bed, so I was confused when I saw him, rubbing his eyes in my door way. I knew it had to be a bad dream because of the way he shifted his feet.

“Another bad dream?” I said scooting over in my bed, and patting next to me, letting him know he could get in my bed.

He nodded his head, and got in the bed. “I want Mommy and Daddy.”

“Me too buddy. How is your arm?” I said rubbing his cast

He shrugged, “It fine, but scratchy a lot. Mawmaw said I get it taken off next week.” He smiled at the last part.

“Gi Gi, do you think Daddy will wake up?” He asked me

“I hope he does. Everyone is just waiting for him to wake up. Auntie Liv woke up, so I think daddy will too.”

“ANGELIQUE!” Mawmaw yelled 

“I’ll be right back Mason, go to sleep.”  

He nodded his head and I covered him up, and walked out of the room to go see her standing in the living room

“Yes Ma’am?”

“Is Mason in your room?” She said crossing her arms.

I wanted to roll my eyes, but I knew as soon as I did, I would be in huge trouble.

“Yes Mawmaw, but he had a bad dream about daddy.” I said defending Mason

“But I told the both of y’all to stay in your own rooms. He can’t always sleep with you.”

“I know Mawmaw, but he’s scared. I’m scared. Mommy stays at the hospital, no one tells us what’s going on, we don’t know what happens with daddy. We are scared.”

I had to wipe my tears, because I am a big girl, I can’t cry. But the thought of my daddy dying scared me, more than you know.

“But- But I can’t lose my daddy Mawmaw… I just got my mommy back. He can’t leave me too.”  I sobbed

Before she could answer, her phone rang.

“Giselle, what happened?” She asked.

I looked at the clock in the living room, it was 10:30 at night. Something was wrong. I couldn’t hear my mom, but I knew it wasn’t good.  

“What do you mean, he flatlined.” She whispered.

She started to walk into the kitchen, when she told me to go get Mason and myself dressed so we can go to the hospital.

I nodded, but I couldn’t help but to think, that my daddy was dead. 

Olivia

I sat there and watched how these children looked at me. I could tell they were scared and don’t know what to do. Sage told them that the reason I didn’t remember them was because my brain was foggy, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t love them.  

I came out of my thoughts when a pregnant Lizzie and Jeremiah walked in.

“IS THAT VINCENT’S BABY?” I screamed.

Lizzie just looked at me shocked, “She really doesn’t remember anything, does she?” She asked Jeremiah, and he just shook her head.

Before I could say anything to either of them, the doctor walked in.

“Hi Olivia, I am your doctor, and I want to ask you some questions?”

I nodded and awaited the questions.

“What date did you get married?”

“April 25th, 2010, I was 6 months pregnant with Sage.” I said.

Jeremiah nodded, “What day did you get divorced from Jeremiah?” The doctor asked.

“I didn’t get divorced from Jeremiah. We’re still married.”

Jeremiah spoke up, “Our divorce was finalized about 4 years ago, May 25th,2014. A day after Maurice and Marie were born, and a week before Aiden was born.”

“Who is Aiden’s mother? If he was born a week after Maurice and Marie, and I’m their mother… Who is Aiden’s mother, Jeremiah” I asked while looking at the little boy.  

That means Jeremiah cheated on me…. and I know with who, just by looking at the little boy.  

I whispered, “His mother is Avery isn’t it?”  

“Yeah, she is.” He spoke back

I laughed, while wiping my tears, “I see why I divorced you. That’s pretty unforgivable. Especially with her.”

I shook my head, Avery was J’s girlfriend from before I moved to Cali, I ran into her a few times, simply because she’s Lizzie’s best friend. But she was basic to me. So I never paid her any attention, and I think that’s what bothered her the most.  

I always got weird vibes from this girl that she was trying to take back Jeremiah. I just didn’t think that my husband would fall for it.

“Did you know?” I looked at Lizzie

“Of Course not, and once I did, I cut her off totally and completely. I always thought she was in love with Dominic. But that wasn’t true.”

I nodded, “Can you all get out?”  

“Liv…” Jeremiah said, trying to reach out to me.

I moved away from his touch and the tears started,  

“I just found out that it’s four years from what I think it is. My daughter literally grew up, I have two other children, a boyfriend. My cousin is pregnant, I’m divorced, I have yet to see Giselle or Dominic, or Rah or Lei, and to make it the absolute worst! My husband cheated on me and had a whole baby that wasn’t by me, which led to our entire divorce I’m assuming. By a girl, that Jeremiah was broken by, who I rebuilt into the man he was. I need everyone to leave right now.”  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After I kicked out everyone from my room, they sent in a therapist, Lei came and saw me, so did Giselle. But I wasn’t in the mood for talking. I was kind of in my own thoughts when Sage knocked on the door. She came in and sat on the bed with somethings.

She tucked her beautiful long hair behind her ear and said:

“I asked the doctor what would help to bring back your memories, so I had daddy drive me home so I can get somethings.”

She had a photo album, a teddy bear, a blanket, and some sort of toy.  

“I brought the photos because they are the photos from the past 4 years, of everyone in the family.” She turned in the photo album to a picture of me and Jeremiah’s son, hugging and smiling.

“This was Aiden’s 3rd birthday. The twins didn’t want a birthday party with him, and he was scared that no-one would come to birthday because they were all at the twins. He cried because he didn’t get a party. His mom isn’t in his life either, mommy. So you made his birthday with the twins and he was the happiest boy on this side of the planet. He doesn’t stop talking about you.”

I looked at her, but the memory wasn’t coming back. But I know myself, I would never dismiss a child, my step-father didn’t do that to me. He actually looked really happy in the picture.

“The teddy bear is mine. You gave it to me when you and daddy first got divorced. I didn’t understand what was happening, but I knew daddy wasn’t in the house and it made me sad. But you would cry every night, and didn’t think I heard, so you would go to sleep and I would stick the teddy bear in your bed, so you wouldn’t be sad anymore.”

“The Blanket and Toy are from Maurice and Marie, they said that when they think of you, they think of these things. Marie’s blanket is for when its a thunderstorm and-“

“She uses it to cover her head. It looks like apart of my blanket from College” I said cutting off Sage.

She smiled, “It is your blanket. You gave it to her to be brave. The same with Maurice, the toy is from when he sprained his ankle and could barely walk, but you said the toy would help him get better.”

I nodded my head, “Thank you.”

“No problem mommy, I just want you to get better and remember stuff, because Daddy, Maurice, Marie and Aiden are all sad that you don’t remember a lot.”

I nodded again, before I could say something Jeremiah came to take her home, She kissed me goodbye and left everything she had brought back.

~~~~~~~~

When I was going to sleep, I decided to look through everything, I couldn’t help but be upset that I didn’t look happy unless I was with the kids or Jeremiah in the pictures.

I saw the smile behind me holding the twins….but in my eyes you could tell I was hurt. And Jeremiah wasn’t in any of the pictures.

I couldn’t look at it anymore because it was hurting my head. But when I looked back at the picture, I suddenly remembered I didn’t allow Jer in the hospital room because of the divorce and infidelity. I remember signing the divorce papers in the hospital bed because I was in labor, I was so upset and in so much pain.  

I quickly closed the book, and held the teddy bear and closed my eyes. Some of my memories started to flood back and I started crying when I realized that I made a huge mistake and I don’t know if I could fix it.

The fact that I am still in love with Jeremiah.

Giselle

I was glad to spend sometime with my babies after I called Mama C, even if it was in the cafe at the hospital. Mama C even got to spend time with Dominic and I know that made her happy.

No, Dominic is still in a coma, and we don’t know the effects of his injuries, not until he wakes up. I’m praying everyday that he does, I want to see his brown eyes again, and I want to see his smile and hear his voice.

“Mommy?”

“Yes Mason?” I said giving him my full attention

“Will Daddy ever wake up? I know he sleeping because he got hurt. But Livie woke up, so why hasn’t daddy?”

By this time, Angel gave me her full attention too. I could see this was affecting her more than it was me. But she was trying to be a big girl, and be scared, to not freak out Mason.

I sighed, “I don’t know Mason, He got hurt really bad, we just have to pray that he wakes up soon.”

He obviously, didn’t like that answer, so his face scrunched up, just like Dominic’s, it made me laugh slightly.

“He got hurt by that bad lady. She should be sleep, not my daddy.”

“Speaking of her, She asked if I could come talk to her, I wanted to tell you guys-“

“No, I don’t want you to go see her.” Angel spoke up for the first time

“Angel-“

“No, I said no. Don’t go near her. She could hurt you too.” She said getting up going to Dom’s room.

“Mason?”

“Gi Gi is mad at the bad lady. She don’t want you and daddy hurt.”

“Do you agree with her?”

He looked at his cast, and shrugged, “She hurt me too mommy. I don’t want her to hurt you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few hours with the kids, I left the hospital for the first time in a month. I didn’t know if this was such a great Idea, but something was telling me to go.

I entered the jail and got checked by security. I love my kids, but they are exactly that, Children. I needed to look this bitch in the face and ask her why she shot my cousin, my son and the love of my life.

I was sitting in an empty room, surrounded by guards when she sat down.

“ I’m here , What do you want?” I spat

“Nice to see you too Giselle, you look well.” She smirked.

“Bitch, I will get up and leave right now, what do you want Kaitlynn?”  

“I heard Dominic is still in a coma.”

I just blinked at her, “Point?”

“Point being, I’m glad he’s alive.”

I just bitterly chuckled, “You must be fucking insane, like literally bat shit crazy. You are the reason he’s in a coma. You’re the reason my cousin lost her memory. Why my son is in a cast! You’ve caused nothing but trouble.”

She shrugged, “I wanted you to feel, what I felt when my son died.”

I threw my hands in the air, “We still are not on this!!!”

She stood up with the chains around her ankles and hands,

“YES! WE ARE ON THIS! I Wanted you to feel what it felt like to have your ENTIRE LIFE Ripped away from you! I wanted you to hurt! and to cry and to be in so much pain you can’t even breathe! You can’t think! You can’t eat! Everything I worked for GONE! BECAUSE OF YOU! I wanted Dominic Dead. I wanted you to weep over his casket. I wanted you to weep over your son’s grave like I did!”

I just stared at her, “You’re sick. My life was ripped away from me. You try to compare our troubles but you can’t. They are completely different. I didn’t try to kill you or your son, I just wanted to know my daughter and let my son know his father.”

I got up from the table, “Don’t you ever in your life try to contact me or anyone in my family ever again. I hope you get the death penalty.”

I went to walk to the door, “Let me out of here.” I spoke to the guards.

“Before you leave,”

Exasperated, I turned to her again. “What, what do you want.”

“I’m actually glad now that Dominic isn’t dead. When Dominic found out that I couldn’t have kids, we started IVF, and that’s how I got pregnant with DJ.” She smiled.

My phone rang, it was Lizzie,

“Lizzie, I’m on my way back right now, are the kids alright?”  

“Giselle, they aren’t going to give me the death penalty. They Can’t” Katie spoke

I rolled my eyes, and turned back to the guard, to leave, when she yelled my worst nightmare.

“I’M PREGNANT WITH HIS BABY!”

I turned to look at her, when Lizzie said

“Dominic’s Awake Gi.”

I couldn’t breathe…. I couldn’t breathe.

“Elizabethe, I will call you back” and i hung up the phone.

She started laughing, “I knew that would catch your attention, and this is how everything is going to go.”
