The late afternoon sun is quickly disappearing Tatum and Sidney rock on the front porch of the Riley house looking out into the small town neighborhood. Dewey's patrol jeep is parked in the driveway.

Despite the loud music, blaring from an inside stereo, this is a quiet moment between the two girls.

"Maybe Cotton Weary is telling the truth. Maybe he was having an affair with your mom," Tatum tells Sidney who looks towards her.

"So you think my mom was a slut too?" Sidney questions Tatum who shakes her head.

"I didn't say that, Sid. But you know there were rumors. Your dad was always out of town on business. Maybe your mom was a very unhappy woman," Tatum tells to explain to Sidney.

Sidney pauses at those words before shaking her head. Her mom wasn't. She couldn't.

"If they were having an affair how come that Cotton couldn't prove it in court?" Sidney questions her.

"You can't prove a rumor. That's why it's a rumor," Tatum tells her.

"Created by that little tabloid twit Gale Weathers," Sidney says angrily.

"I am not a twit!" Gale yells at Sidney who glares at her.

"It goes further back, Sid. There's been talk about other men," Tatum tells her delicately as Sidney looks towards her angrily.

Blair moved slightly uncomfortable as Billy place a hand on her thigh making her look toward him but Billy was already staring at her. Blair gulped slightly staring into his eyes as Billy smirks slightly at her.  

"And you believe it?" Sidney asks Tatum.

"Well...you can only hear that Richard Gere-gerbil story so many times before you have to start believing it," Tatum tells her before a long silence take over the two girls as Sidney agonizes over all of this.  She stands up and moves to the edge of the porch and stares out onto the neighborhood.

"If I was wrong Cotton, then he's still out there," Sidney tells Tatum who walks towards her.

"Don't go there, Sid. You're starting to sound like some Wes Carpenter flick. Don't freak yourself out--we've got a long night ahead of us," Tatum tells her trying to distract her mind.

"You're right. I'm cracking up. Ignore me," Sidney tells her with a slight smile.

"Come on, let's rock," Tatum tells Sidney who follows Tatum inside the house.

"So what happened with Blair?" Sidney asks Tatum who sighs at that.

"I told her what she needed to hear. She was not that happy about it," Tatum tells her as Sidney nods at her words.

"Did you say in a sister way? Or in a Tatum way?" Sidney asks her making Tatum open and close her mouth.

"Both," Blair answers making Tatum sigh at that before rolling her eyes.

"Shut it," Tatum says making Sidney laugh at her.
"Where did she go?" Sidney asks her making Tatum look at her.

"Where do you think?" Tatum asks her making Sidney laugh at her.

"Stu's," the two say simultaneously before laughing.

"You know I think you spend too much time at Stu's," Dewey says making Blair laugh at him.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Blair was laid on her back staring up at the ceiling with a blanket clutched to her chest.

"You okay?" Stu asks her moving a piece of hair out of her face.

"She seems high," Tatum states staring at her sister making Dewey look between the two.

"Have either of you been high?!" Dewey yells as Tatum and Blair stare at each other neither saying anything.  

"What really?! Mom you used to be so cool!" Stuart yells making Blair look at him offended.

"Used to be?!" Blair exclaims offended as Stuart looks at her sheepishly.

"I-I mean yo-you still are but in a...mom way," Stuart tells sheepishly her making her laugh at him.

"You are so adorable,"  Blair tells him making Stuart smile at her brightly.

"She thinks I'm adorable," Stuart whispers to Hayden who rolls her eyes at him.

"She just doesn't know how annoying you are yet," Hayden tells Stuart who glares at her.

"That was...," Blair mutters before a dopey smile appears on her face.

"Okay that's enough," Tatum says disgusted as Billy and Stu smirk before looking at Blair who was bright red.

"Amazing! Why didn't we ever do that before?!" Blair questions laughing as the two laugh at her.

"Because you wouldn't admit your feelings," Billy tells her making Blair look towards him and wrap her arms around his neck pulling him closer as she kisses him.

"Am I admitting them now?" Blair whispers against his lip with a smirk making Billy smile at her.

"Well...I haven't heard the words," Billy tells her placing a piece of hair behind her ear and making Blair rub his cheek.

Billy gulps looking at the screen waiting for those words. Words he has been wanting to hear for the longest time.

"I am completely in love with you Billy Loomis," Blair tells him with a soft on her lips making Billy connect his lips with hers in a heated but soft kiss.

"Please stop. Now," Sam says disgusted staring at the screen the same as Stuart and Hayden.

Stu moves Blair's hair and begins kissing her neck as Blair smiles.

"I don't need to know anymore," Dewey says looking disgusted.

"Okay okay, as much I would love to continue. We can't," Blair says pushing the two away as they look at her.

"What? Why?" Stu asks pouting as Blair pats his cheek.

"Someone invited the entire school body to their house in a few hours," Blair tells Stu who looks as if he was regretting everything at that moment.

"Let's cancel," Stu says pulling Blair closer to him as he looks at Billy.

"Yeah, we can cancel tonight. Watch movies and eat some cinnamon rolls," Billy tells Blair who smiles at him.

Hayden Stuart Sam and Tara just froze staring at the screen. They wanted to cancel. Cancel everything just for her.

"Ugh I would love that, but people will still come and I don't want the entire student body seeing me naked," Blair says kissing their cheeks as she grabs a shirt and slides it over her body before standing up.

"You seem good at that," Billy says amusement clear in his voice as he eyes Blair who turns to him with a smirk.

"I'm good at a lot of things as you found out," Blair said winking at him as she leaves the room.

"You really are and very flexible," Stu says looking at Blair whose cheeks were bright red.

"Please someone put me out of this misery," Dewey pleads wanting to be anywhere but here.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Blair stood in Stu's bathroom curling her hair and fixing her makeup still dressed in what looked like Billy's white t-shirt.

"I could get us to this," Billy whispers to Blair as he wraps his arms around her waist as Stu hands her a drink.

"What? Catering to my every need? Me too!" Blair exclaims laughing as Stu kisses her lips.

"And I thought Blair and Stu were annoying. All three are even more," Tatum says rolling her eyes done with the three.

"No, although I do not mind, seeing you in my clothes and my arms around you," Billy says looking at Blair through the mirror with his hand flat against her stomach.

"With a bunch of little kids running around," Stu says making Blair point her curling iron at him.

"Stop. You've been talking about getting me pregnant a little too often," Blair says laughing as Stu shrugs.

Stuart and Hayden share a look the two trying not to laugh at the irony of this situation.

"You would be a good mom. The best," Billy tells Blair who rolls her eyes at him.

"Well, you two would be amazing dads. I already can see you two having little tea party crowns on your heads and your pinkies out," Blair tells the two amused.

Sam and Hayden look at the screen sadly. They didn't get their tea parties with their dads. Hayden had Dewey and as much as she loved him he wasn't her dad.

"I don't know about that. I didn't have the best role model," Billy says making Blair put the curling iron down and turn to him.

"And that is exactly why you would be amazing. Because you know how it feels. You both will be the best and make sure your kids never feel anything you two felt," Blair tells the two cupping their cheeks with a soft smile on her face.

"And I want a boy," Blair says to the two making them laugh at her as Stu picks her up making Blair wrap her legs around his waist while Stu attacks her neck with kisses.

"I told you I'm mom's favorite," Stuart tells Hayden who pushes his face away from her.

Blair laughs loudly as he begins to spin her around quickly. Billy takes her placing her on the ground making Blair smile at the two as they look at her softly.

"I'm happy. Really happy," Blair states feeling like she was on top of the world as she kiss their cheeks before walking away.

Sam looks at Blair sadly knowing what was soon to happen. That happiness would not last that long.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

On Main Street Dewey's patrol jeep makes its way down it is almost dark and the street is close to deserted with business closing due to the curfew.

Dewey's behind the wheel having a heated conversation with Tatum while Sid stares out the window.

"A party? Mom's gonna kill you. Then Blair. Then me," Dewey tells his sister with a pointed look.

"Don't be so self-righteous. It's just a little blow out--we'll be perfectly safe," Tatum tells Dewey who sighs at her words while Sidney stares out the window.

Closed signs fill the storefronts, and a few people rush to their cars, in a hurry to beat curfew.

"God, look at this place, it's the town that dreaded sundown," Sidney says shaking her head.

"Ooh that movie was alright," Randy says nodding his head.

"Hey, I saw that movie. Blair made me watch it with her. True story, 'bout some killer in Texas," Dewey tells the girls.

"Hey, Sid. Just think if they make a movie about you. Who's gonna play you?" Tatum asks her playfully.

"Ooh, who would play me?" Blair asks tapping her chin thinking about it.

"Sandra Bullock," Randy tells her making Blair shrug.

"I can see it," Blair tells him making Randy smile at her.

"Oh, gosh...," Sidney groans as Dewey comes to a stop, parking the car in front of the police station. He looks at Sid with a brotherly smile.

"I see you as a young Meg Ryan myself," Dewey tells her making Sidney smile at him.

"Definitely!" Tatum and Blair tell her nodding their heads.

"Thanks, Dewey. But with my luck, they'd cast Tori Spelling," Sidney tells him as they pile out of the jeep.  Dewey heads for the station.

"I'll just be a few minutes. Don't go far," Dewey tells them as the girls take off for the local supermarket that sits across the street.

"Have you heard from Blair?" Sidney asks Tatum who shakes her head.

"No. She's probably giving me the silent treatment. I'll talk to her at the party," Tatum says shrugging as they approach the grocery store.

"Or having a threesome," Tatum says giving her twin a pointed look.

"Actually I was getting ready after a threesome," Blair tells her making Tatum laugh at her as Dewey groans.

Sidney and Tatum grab a shopping cart from the bin and enter the store, pushing the cart through two sliding glass doors.

A lone checkout lady behind the counter looks up
from counting money.

"You girls gonna have to hurry it up. We're under curfew," the checkout lady tells the two.

"Two minutes tops," Tatum tells her as they make a bee-line for the junk food section just as the automated doors slide shut behind them.

At the sheriff's station Sheriff Burke's face heats up as Deputy Riley marches in hurriedly.

"Dewey! Where the hell have you been, boy?" Sheriff Burke asks him as Dewey holds an ice cream cone in his hand.

"Dewey! You got ice cream without me!" Blair yells at her brother who shrugs at her.

"You were a little too busy," Dewey says disgusted making Blair blush at his words.

"Keeping my eye on Sidney. Blair went to her boyfriends," Dewey tells Sheriff Burke.

"Listen up, Dewey, because it's bad. Real bad. Aircomp just faxed us. The calls were listed to Neil Prescott--Sidney's father. He made the calls with his cellular phone. It's confirmed," Sheriff Burke tells him making Dewey look at him.

Sidney looks at the screen in disbelief. It couldn't be her dad. He wouldn't do that.

"Couldn't his cellular number have been cloned?" Dewey asks him.

Sidney nods her head at that hoping that was the truth.

There's more. Guess what tomorrow is? The anniversary of his wife's death. It all fits. He's our man," Sheriff Burke tells him looking upset at that information as well.

Sidney and Blair share a slight look. It's been a year. A full year since that day.

"Have you contacted the bureau?" Dewey questions his boss.

"They believe he's out of state by now. We'll keep roadblocks and curfew in effect through the night. If he's not picked up by morning--we'll do a house-to-house," Sheriff Burke tells him making Dewey nod.

"You think he could still be in town?" Dewey questions him.

"He'd have to be crazy. Where's Sidney?" Sheriff Burke questions him.

"She's with my sister. Should I bring her in?" Dewey asks him.

"Hold off for now. Just stay close to her," Sheriff Burke tells him making Dewey nod.

She'll be with her friends over at Stu Macher tonight. Blair's already there," Dewey tells him.

Watch her. Don't let on--just keep your eyes out," Sheriff Burke tells him.

"Yes, sir," Dewey tells him looking towards the supermarket.

Sam Tara Hayden and Stuart look towards each other. They all knew what was about to happen. How everything was about to change for everyone. Especially for Blair.
