Kathy had told her parents this time where she was going, making sure they knew she wasn’t running away. She’d kissed Nolan on the way out and gently patted Tara’s head before taking her backpack and heading out to Krystal’s Restaurant. She had a bit of homework to do this time and was hoping to get it all done and have an ice cream sundae when she was finished, and maybe run into Jenny as well.
Heading inside she looked around and found an empty table and chair. Putting her bag on the table she brought out her books, took a seat down and started finishing up her English homework. When she looked up she wondered if Krystal was in the kitchen or even if Opal was around. Going back to her work she reached for her erase and started getting rid of the words she’d just written before looking up as she heard the door to Krystal’s open...

Before Jamie headed on back to see his family he decided to stop in to a place that had a name from his past... Krystal's... her daughter Babe caused a lot of trouble between him and his brother in the past, mostly his own fault... but the name turned up a lot of memories good and bad inside his mind. And he had to wonder, would he run into her mom?
"Well at least I know I won't run into Babe.. I still can't believe she's gone" Jamie said with a bit of sadness in his voice. Even though his relationship with his bro was almost torn apart because of his fling with Babe... He still did love her.. Little did he know that she's actually alive..
"Hmm I'd know those pretty pig tails anywhere.."He said as he glanced around the room and stop on his half sister sitting alone at a table looking right back at him. Jamie didn't know if she knew him, but from the pictures he saw of her, that his Dad sent to him... she looked even more pretty in person...
"I don't mean to startle you or anything, and since I have been gone, I don't know if you know me, but I'd know you anywhere from the pictures that were sent to me.. You're my little sis Kathy right? I am you big brother Jamie.. He spoke in a friendly manner hoping to not begin a stranger danger right in the middle of a busy restaurant... wouldn't that be an embarrassing return..

Kathy had been staring at the familiar face that walked through the door before her eyes lit up and she closed her homework books. She didn’t know Jamie had gotten back! No one had told her and maybe that meant no one knew. Giving her half-brother a big smile she waited for him to come over before getting off her chair and giving him a great big hug.
“I remember you Jamie!” she exclaimed, pulling back from the hug and looking up at him. “But before you weren’t my big brother, you were with Aunt Julia all the time and daddy hadn’t found me.” She paused for a moment at the memories and wondered if Jamie knew Julia had passed away, but then thought better of it.
“Did you want to come sit with me?” she asked him with a smile. “I’m almost done my homework.” OOC: I hope you don’t mind but I had Kathy remember Jamie because of the eppys they were in together during the show when he was with Julia Santos. If you want me to change it, just ask and I will =)

OOC: It's cool Jamie returned the smile to her, when she gave him one. If that didn't say welcome home, then he didn't know what did.
"Homework? You aren't going to make me do it are you? I don't want to get you a bad grade!Jamie says with a bit of a laugh as they make their way over to the table she was at.
"You're right though, before we didn't know each other as brother and sister, but now that we are, I guess that gives me the right of passage to pick on you right?Jamie spoke, like it rolled right off his tongue. He didn't know why, but being a big brother just came natural to him.
But all the while this is going on, the name Julia sticks in the back of his mind... the memories continue to come to him... He left all of this behind, but he's back now.. to either remember those times and make right any wrongs he's done, or cherish and relive the memories of the good times.

“No silly!” Kathy laughed at Jamie mentioning her asking to do it for her. “I can do it! I don’t need you too.” She headed over to the table and took a seat down, opening her books again and finding where she’d left off. Writing the rest of the sentence she’d been doing, she finished up the last of her homework and shut the book again.
“You’re going to pick on me?” she asked with a small gasp before making a face. “Does that mean I can pick on you too?” She pouted a little at the thought of them picking on each other, they certainly hadn’t a few years ago. She shook her head at the thought and looked up as a plate of fries arrived at their table.
“Where did you go all this time?” she question him, tilting her head slightly. “Aunt Julia said you went away and we were going to go away to before she got hurt and had to go be with the angels.” Glancing down at the fries she took the Ketchup bottle in her hand and poured a bit onto the plate before munching on a fry. “I’ve missed you Jamie, daddy has too. He talks about you and brings out old picture albums when I ask to see them.”

After seeing that face she made after mentioning picking on her, there's no way he could ever do that to her.. But his mind did hit pause when he heard about the passing of Julia. She dead?
"I can't believe it.." He spoke out loud to the thought in his mind. He snapped out of it a few moments later though after noticing the tilt of the head of his little sister. It wasn't about what he just said, but it was like his mind hit play and he heard her ask where he's been.
"Well as you know I want to be a Doctor, and I got invited to be a part of a group in Africa, so that's where I've been... Brushing up on my skills.. But I am home now Kathy, and I am not going to be leaving you.. or Dad or anyone anytime soon." He said looking right at her, letting her know how sincere he is. "I have missed a lot, and I am not about to miss another minute of anything that happens in Pine Valley!" Jamie finishes off his statement as he steals a fry off of her plate and popping it into his mouth.

“Cant believe what?” Kathy asked curiously though didn’t get an answer to that question. She fell quiet listening to him explain where he’d been all this time and what he’d been doing. She remembered him working at the hospital with Julia when they lived at Wild Wind together. After a minute she nodded.
“Did you learn everything you need to there?” she questioned, putting her elbows against the table and her hands against her chin. “Are you a full doctor now?” Her smile returned as he mentioned he was home to stay, never going to leave her dad and her again.
“Good! Because I don’t want you to go anywhere far away again,” she told him with a nod before she gasped, watching him steal a fry. “Hey! That was mine!” She giggled, joking and took a bite of some fries herself before wondering something.
“What did you see when you were over in Africa?” she asked. “Was there a lot of things that were different from home?”

"What did I see? Well I saw... Oh wait you got to wait to see the pictures. I am sure you'll love all the animal ones. He said with a slight smirk."But you have to finish all of your homework first, then maybe we can go home and surprise Dad and who knows, maybe then I can hook my camera up to the computer or TV and see everything that I documented."
He takes another french fry from her and chews on it before he responds to her asking if he's a full doctor now.
"Well yeah I am, but I need to find a job, or maybe I can find someone that's sick and practice on them, any of your dolls not feeling well?" Jamie finished his final line with a bit of a chuckle.

“I have to wait?” Kathy pouted, crossing her arms and giving Jamie a sad look. “Do I have to wait?” At the idea of going home and surprising her dad and Jamie showing all his pictures on the big screen she grinned and nodded.
“Yeah! And - wait I have to finish all my homework?” she asked, looking down at the math book beside her English one. “But... that could take forever and I don’t wanna wait forever to see your pictures.” Following his example she took a fry off her plate and bit into it before opening her math book up and looking at all the problems she had solve. Twenty questions was a big number especially when she wanted to see the pictures of the animals.
“You mean there’s not a job at the hospital here?” she questioned with a small frown, before a smile spread across her face. “I think one of my dolls is sick, she didn’t look very well. Did you want to come take a look at her when we get home? I can help you look at my stuffed chicken, he’s also not been feeling well, I think he has a flu.”

"Oh trust me, you'll have a lot more fun knowing that all your home work is done.' Jamie knew she was fretting over getting her homework done, but he was there to help her out if she got stuck on a problem.
"Oh I am sure I can find a job around here, maybe Uncle Jake could put a good word in for me at the hospital or elsewhere. But for that to happen we have to spread the word that I'm back!" And he knew she was just the person to help him with that.
"Maybe you can help me with that in form of payment for healing your doll and Mr. Chicken"

“I know, but it’s a lot of homework,” Kathy complained, glancing down at the math problems she had left. “And it’s math.” She wasn’t too fond of doing math homework, especially if she didn’t need to use it later on. She scribbled down another answer that she figured out and looked back to Jamie when he spoke of the hospital and finding jobs.
“Uncle Jake is good at helping people find jobs,” she agreed with a nod before her smile grew. “I can help spread the word, I can tell everybody I know that my brothers the best doctor! Like Aunt Julia was!” She paused and then remembered something, an idea that could make things better.
“Jamie could you help JR? He needs a doctor to make him all better because he’s been sick for a while,” she explained with worry. “My chicken and doll aren’t as sick as him and I’m worried too.” She looked down at the tabletop for a moment, remember seeing him the other day. “I drew JR a picture to help him feel better and I wish almost every night on a star, but... but I dont think it’s helping. So do you think you could?”

When she spoke to him, Jamie felt a bit of a lump in his throat. How could he answer this to a young girl who doesn't know any better. Sure Jamie was here to help JR... emotionally... He doesn't know what he can do for him health wise.
"I am not sure Kathy what I can do... I can give it a shot.. But I think JR's doctor is doing just fine.. He said beating himself up inside. What kind of answer was that? She must think he's an idiot.. "I am sure your picture and wishes are helping a lot.. I am sure JR appreciates them.
"Just remember, we need to keep our hopes up. JR is going to get better.. And I promise you I will do all I can to make sure of that." He is trying so hard to believe that JR will get better, but cancer is a force not to be reckoned with.. Would it all be fine? Jamie stuffs back a lump in his throat and a few tears just thinking about it.

“I know,” Kathy agreed on the topic of the doctor doing fine, but she shrugged and gave Jamie a sad look. “He’s just not getting better fast enough. I hope they are helping him too, but... I don’t know, I just don’t like to see JR sick.” It worried her that he wasn’t better by now because she knew he should be.
“I’ll remember,” she informed her brother with a small nod. “He has to get better so we can play again and have sleepovers.” Reaching over, Kathy lightly put her hand over top of Jamie’s, looking up at him with a tiny smile. “I’m glad JR has you to help him now too.” She pulled her hand back after a minute and looked down at her books before stealing a French fry.
“What else did you do while you were away?” she asked him curiously, changing the topic. “Anything fun?”

She just has a way to melt your heart... She's a ray of sunshine in a world that's filled with what seems like evil now a days.
"Well I did have time to go shopping and I just may have a present for you!"Jamie chuckled a bit after he spoke seeing her eyes light up. He did have presents for everyone.. You don't come home after a while empty handed... "And I think you're going to like it!
He watches her eat and do her best to get back into doing her homework, but after talking about JR, he knows it's probably tough on her."You know what? How about we pack up and head on out and get everything under way. Then after, I can help you finish up that homework in no time! He was unsure when he said it, but how hard could her math be?

“You got me a present!?” Kathy exclaimed with excitement. “What is it? Can I open it now or do I have to wait?” She hadn’t thought of him bringing back presents while he was away, but now she was most certainly anxious to see what he’d brought her back. “Is it a pet baby lion?” She giggled at the thought and shook her head before taking another fry from the plate.
“What?” she asked, looking up at him when he spoke again, falling silent and listening. Slowly she began to nod, a smile growing across her face as she liked the idea he had. “Yes! We can head home and I can show you everything I did while you were away. You’ll have to see Jenny and Nolan and Tara when we get home too! They’re all big now, but Jenny and Tara are shorter than me.” She started putting away her things into her backpack and when she was all done she jumped off her chair.
“Ready!” she told him, looking up and reaching out to gently take his hand. “Are you?” She looked towards the door, wondering if they were going to be walking back to the house or if he had his car.
