Lost and Found - Part 3/5

By Kymley
About: Kevin and Scotty
Rate: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine. Just messing with the characters if B&S
Summary: What if Kevin didn’t forgive Scotty but Michelle had still lied – set after An Ideal Husband but before Resolved. I’ve changed the timeline though.



“Kevin” Scotty said smiling.

“Scotty” Kevin said smiling at the sound of his voice “I’ve been thinking” he said very nervously.

“Okay” Scotty answered scared about what Kevin had to say.

“What would you say to a meeting in person or something maybe coffee” Kevin said before he changed his mind; he wanted to see Scotty, he missed him.

“Really?” Scotty asked surprised “you mean like a date” he asked hesitantly.

“Kind of” Kevin answered “um, yes, so what would you say to that?” he asked wondering if Scotty would even want to, they both had made mistakes “do you want to?”

“Yes” Scotty said “of course I would, I miss you so much, how about dinner, I could cook?” he asked hopefully.

“Um, let’s see how coffee goes first, if that is okay” Kevin said knowing he was letting Scotty down by not agreeing to dinner.

“Oh, okay, so coffee” Scotty agreed but slightly disappointed.

“Let’s just see how it goes and we can move on from there” Kevin explained.

“Yeah, okay, so when do you want to do this” Scotty said deciding not to make anymore suggestion or push Kevin.

“How about tomorrow, lunch, if you can make it” Kevin asked.

“Yes, definitely” Scotty said not even checking the timetable but agreeing with whatever Kevin wanted.

“You sure you can do it, I don’t want to interrupt your work schedule” Kevin asked worriedly.

“I’ll make the time” Scotty answered excited.

“Scotty” Kevin said feeling how excited Scotty was about the date “we need to take things slowly, okay”.

“Um, sure” Scotty said feeling like Kevin was withdrawing from him again not realizing that Kevin just wanted to make sure they didn’t hurry back into their life; rushing back to who they were before could be more damaging for the future. Trust had to be rebuilt on both sides if this was going to work.

“So, tomorrow, 12 o’clock, I’ll meet you at the Cafe and we can go from there” Kevin said and they went back to neutral conversations for the rest of the phone call until they had to end the call.

****

Scotty looked around his kitchen and couldn’t decide what to eat; he was worried about tomorrow and the date with Kevin, they had plenty dates before they got married and even afterwards but this was different; it was like the first date again, except there was more at risk even it didn’t go right. He couldn’t lose Kevin, their marriage and their future if it didn’t go right.

He wanted something to settle his stomach but didn’t fancy anything in the kitchen in their apartment or the cafe’ kitchen so he concluded he’d have to go out and search for something in a market.

He knew there was a great place to get some ice cream a few blocks away; it was one of Kevin’ favourite place to go. So he picked up his jacket and headed out.

He had just picked up a pint of mint chocolate chip; which was actually Kevin’ favourite, he needed something that reminded him of Kevin to quench his nerves about tomorrow; when he turned the corner to get back to his car when he saw Michelle. Then he remembered the conversation with Jordan earlier.

“Michelle, is that you” Scotty said walking up to Michelle; he only had to see her from the side to know it was her.

Michelle looked up from putting her key into her car at the sound of her name being called and saw Scotty; one of the last people she wanted to see, first Jordan now Scotty, damn it, she knew she shouldn’t have came back to this city. All she needed now was to see Kevin and her day would be complete.

“Um, hi, Scotty” Michelle said as she stopped in her tracks, she knew it would look weird to run away but it was the only thing she wanted to do right that second; she wanted to go and get her baby from the babysitter and run again. She turned to Scotty.

“Oh my god” Scotty said smiling “how have you been, where have you been” he said as he gave her a hug “I’ve missed you”.
Michelle froze as Scotty hugged her but the truth was she had missed Scotty too and she couldn’t help but hug him back “I missed you too” she admitted quietly.

“So, how have you been, are you still in New York?” Scotty asked curiously.

“Yes, I’ve been busy and I’m only back in town for a few days, I’m sorry” Michelle said backing away from Scotty, realizing this is why she had run away to New York in the first place. There was no way she could be this close to Scotty and not tell him the truth.

“Michelle” Scotty said as he noticed her starting to back away from him “you don’t have to hide away from me or our friends. I talked to Jordan and he said he saw you and you know that everyone misses you, right”

“Yeah but things have changed now away...” Michelle said, she had heard the same thing from Jordan. She stopped moving away knowing that if she ran away Scotty would chase her this time and find out the truth. So she tried to act normal and keep “how are you and Kevin?” she asked.

Scotty looked sad at the question “didn’t Jordan tell you” he asked.

“Tell me what” Michelle asked worriedly; even though everything was different than before she still cared about him.

“We’re separated” Scotty answered sadly.
“What” Michelle said in complete shock “how, why”
“The truth is that after the miscarriage we grew apart” Scotty started but looked at Michelle face that had gone from shock to guilt him quickly changed his answer “I mean there was other things; it’s not like it was your fault, we knew when we asked you to be the surrogate that miscarriages happened, we just wanted the baby so much and we lost it and then we lost each other” Scotty tried to explain but Michelle still looked guilty “believe me, it was not your fault” he said but Michelle was backing away.
“Michelle, please don’t run away again” Scotty said trying to stop her.
“I’m sorry Scotty” Michelle said but not explaining why she was sorry “I know you want to talk but I can’t. I’m so sorry” she said hastily and she was in her car and speeding away before Scotty could do or say anything.
Scotty looked on after her but with nothing to do now; he went to his car and drove home, less nervous about the date with Kevin but more nervous about mentioning seeing Michelle again.

Hey, I'm still in the middle of reading this, and I just really really want to say this to you, 'Grant Michelle her wish and make her day complete!!!' :D

What” Michelle said in complete shock “how, why”
*pointing at Michelle's face* That's because of you!! Stupid! *FatCat rolling up sleeves* Kymley, can I take over the matter in hand for Scotty, cuz I wanna slap her something fierce so much and then I'll call the police! :D

Hey another great chapter and love how you twisted the meeting a little from the original!! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Yeah - i've added a couple of the lines from the original SL into it - some I actually liked :)

Please do; maybe you could write the story yourself - Scotty get anger at her like he should have from the beginning.

Michelle really does deserves to be in jail and I'm angry that it didn't happen :(
