love is a battlefield

Will didn't mean to confuse Bree, but he wasn't with Gabby. It was a history he preferred not to talk about, but that's all she wanted to know. How was she? Was he treating her right?

And then Lux showed up, with a baby bump no less.

"What have you done to Gabby?" Bree asked from her hospital bed.

Will sank into misery. It was one more stumbling block for his cousin. She'd thought Torry was Will in the beginning. She didn't know Torry used to be her boyfriend and now this Gabby look alike (according to Bree) was going to be a mother.

"I-I already have one kid," Lux told her.

"Gabby has a child?" It was as if it was giving Bree a brain freeze.

Will shook his head, no.

"She's not Gabby. Her name is Lux." Will thought he might as well be writing song lyrics. Nothing was sinking into Bree's thick head. She didn't get that she'd overdosed on some pills she'd bought on the street. Bree was as dazed and confused as she ever was.

"I'll just have to see Gabby..until I believe it." Bree hugged herself and swelled a small frown. Where was Connor? The question still persisted and Will didn't know the answer too. They'd lost touch. Connor evidently changed his phone number.

"Last I heard he went to California." This much Will knew. "He's in the military now."

"What's he doing in the military?" Bree winced as if she didn't believe that, either.

"Why can't he?" Will shot back. Maybe that's where he needed to be, but he liked being a medic now. He didn't know if he'd ever move on to being a nurse, but he might if sticked with his education long enough.

"I miss your comic book stories you used to write," Bree reminded him of his dream. Had he forgotten?

She only made him feel a little sad, but he'd moved on with Lux and life was moving forward. Bree needed to remember this, too.
