LOSING AND FINDING DREAMS
Based on the TV Show "Pretender"

OK, no one reviewed the last chapter, so please tell me did it really suck that bad? I really want to know, please tell me so I can make changes!

Here's the next part!

~*~ The next - er - I mean - that morning ~*~

Miss Parker held T.K. in her arms, the little boy clutching his favorite bear and Miss Parker's neck, while looking around at all the sights, sounds and smells of the hospital.

The elevator doors opened and Miss Parker and Sydney stepped inside. When they reached the top floor they stepped off and headed to Debbie's room.

Debbie was absorbed in a book; she glanced up, said a distracted "Hi" and went back to her book. Then she did a double take; her jaw dropped slightly.

"Is something wrong, Debbie?" Miss Parker asked, an eyebrow raised.

"N-no! I-it's just that - well - you're dressed differently than you usually are," Debbie stammered.

Both Miss Parker and Sydney were dressed more casually than they usually were dressed.

"We have the day off," Sydney explained.

"Oh!" Debbie nodded then turned to T.K. smiling. "Who's this?"

"I'm Thomas Kyle Parker. What's your name?" T.K. stuck his hand out.

Debbie grinned, taking his hand. "I'm Deborah Broots, but you can call me Debbie. Is Thomas Kyle all you first name?"

"Uh huh." T.K. nodded. "But everyone calls me T.K."

"T.K. I like it."

T.K. beamed. Miss Parker set him down on the bed and T.K. reached into his bag and pulled out a book.

"Could you read me this?" He showed the book to Debbie.

Debbie set her book aside and took the book. "Of course." She patted the space next to her and T.K. scooted up next to her.

"T.K. be careful!" Miss Parker warned him worriedly. "Debbie's legs and back are hurt."

"Don't worry about it," Debbie assured them. "OK let's see what we have here." She opened the book and began reading.

~*~ An hour later ~*~

Debbie and T.K. were playing checkers, Debbie found herself having to actually try at the game, the little boy was very clever.

Miss Parker was lightly dozing in a chair; next to her Sydney was looking over some data on a project he was working on.

Just then Broots's lawyer entered the room. Miss Parker immediately woke up, Sydney set down the data and Debbie and T.K. looked up from their game.

"I am sorry I am late," he began. "My children all came down with the flu last night and I had to wait for my husband to get home so he could watch them. My name is Rachel Edwards." She extended her hand to Miss Parker and Sydney. "You must be Miss Parker and Dr. Sydney Greene."

Miss Parker and Sydney both nodded and shook her hand in turn.

Then Rachel Edwards turned to Debbie, a sad smile on her face. "Good morning Debbie. I am so sorry about your father."

Debbie offered her a sad smile in return. "Good morning, thank you."

"And who is this?" Rachel Edwards asked turning a gentle, fond smile on T.K.

"I'm Thomas Kyle Parker." T.K. introduced himself again.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Broots mentioned you! It is a pleasure to meet you Thomas Kyle Parker. I am Ms. Edwards." She shook his hand.

Ms. Edwards then became serious and business like. "I am going to get to the point of my reason for asking you all to be here." She took a seat and opened her briefcase. "I am here about your father's will, Debbie. He asked me to meet with the four of you together, as you were the people he trusted most. I will later meet with his ex-wife. Miss Parker, Thomas Kyle some money in a college fund."

Miss Parker raised her eyebrows in surprise. "He didn't have to do that," she murmured.

"He both of you with several items which are listed on these." She handed Miss Parker and Sydney each a sheet of paper. Then she turned to Debbie. "Debbie he left you everything else, money, your . You shall come into your inheritance at 18, in two years." Then she turned to Miss Parker. "Miss Parker this last part involves you." Miss Parker nodded. Ms. Edwards took a deep breath. "Seeing as Debbie is still under legal age she must be left with a guardian, now Mr. Broots said that under no circumstances was Debbie to live with her mother. He named you her guardian."

Debbie and Miss Parker exchanged slightly shocked looks.

"Miss Parker?" Ms. Edwards spoke hesitantly.

Miss Parker looked over at her. "Of course."
