"Mom! Have you seen my phone? I think I might have left it at the playground this morning when I took the twins-" Clarke walked into the family room where Kennedy was standing with a phone practically stitched to her ear and Abigail trying to control her racing heart. "What's going on?"

"Clarke! Listen!" Abigail rose the volume on the Tv.

"The Queen of photography Alexandra Woods was shot and hit by a former college roommate Costia Banks today in Sydney, Australia along side a man and child who are both unnamed at the moment. Wait hold on, Sources are telling me that the child Lexa had with her was Costia's daughter Rosemary Banks. This is Connor Perez giving you Hollywood news and I'll keep you posted." The channel went to commercial.

"That's not true, right? Right!?" Clarke shouted as tears were already streaming.

"An officer Green is on the phone with me an would like to speak to you, Clarke." Kennedy handed her the phone also sobbing.

"Hello?"

"Dr. Woods. This is officer Green. I'm sure you've heard the terrible news. You're wife is undergoing surgery as we speak along with Jake and Rosemary. It has come to our attention when we searched Costia Banks house that she and her boyfriend the father of Rosemary had conspired to use Lexa for money by making her believe that she was responsible for Costia being raped. Costia is in custody and her boyfriend did not make it. Your mother in law just mentioned they have a jet to fly you out here soon."

"Okay. How are they?"

"The last update I got was that Rosemary only broke her arm. As for Jake and your wife? Still nothing, ma'am. I will notify this phone for any updates."

"Thanks officer. Thank you so much. I have to go." Clarke ended the call after a quick goodbye. "Just get whatever the heck you need to wear right now and let's just go. I'll pack for the twins. Mom can you just put them in their car seats."

"Okay, honey." They just did as they were told not wanting to make anything harder on Clarke or themselves.

"Why was she in fucking Australia? With Jake and Costia? Was this a exes reunion or something?" Clarke was walking in the jet.

"She was going to fix this. To fix it for you." Kennedy spoke up a little bitter.

"What are you talking about?" Clarke said with a sting in her voice.

"Clarke..." Abigail tried to calm down her daughter.

"No, mom. How is this my fucking fault?" Clarke was now furious at the accusation.

"Isn't it obvious now? Costia was never with Lexa. Lexa was never with Costia! They were never together. You should've just trusted her. Lexa has been your best friend and partner your entire life and you always know if she's lying or not. Why couldn't you this time? What has Lexa done to make her not trust you."

"She broke my heart."

"And she's done everything for you ever since to convince you that you have nothing to worry about. Her vows meant something!"

"THATS ENOUGH! Chewing each other's heads off isn't going to fix anything." Abigail shouted and shut everyone up.

"I really messed up didn't I." Clarke fell into her seat.

"Let's just get to Lexa and find out what's going on."
