Monday morning came quickly at the Soo household. The sun crept into the apartment and Pippa turned over. "Good morning handsome," Pippa smiled. Steven's eyes fluttered open and he gave a smirk. "I have a Hamilton Reunion show next week so, I have to get up and head to the meeting," Pippa spoke. Steven sighed and sat up.

"Alright. I have rehearsal at 11, but I have to be in Virginia by 6 so I won't be back until tomorrow," he said. Phillipa nodded and slid out the bed.

"Okay. I'm gonna shower," Pippa announced. As she turned, Steven grabbed his fiancé's wrist.

"Hey," he said. Phillipa turned back. "Are you gonna take a test," Steven asked. Phillipa rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"No," she replied.

"Why not," the grown man questioned. Phillipa placed her hand on her side and stuck out her hip.

"Because I'm not," she bit. Steven scoffed and let go of her arm.

"How do you know," Steven inquired. Phillipa rose her eyebrow and unfolded her arms.

"Because I'm not. I know my body. I'm not pregnant," Pippa lied as she walked into the bathroom. She didn't know that she wasn't pregnant because she just knew. She knew because three years ago she got a tubal ligation aka her tubes tied to prevent getting pregnant. She was going to get the cauterized, but she decided to get a procedure that was reversible just in case Lin wanted... Anyways, she refused to get pregnant with Steven. Not happening.

😇😇😇

At the rehearsal, Phillipa, Reneé, and Jasmine sat in Pippa's old dressing room. They talked and laughed about any and everything, like old times. "He said what," Jasmine laughed.

"Asked me if I was gonna take a test. Girl, he was dead ass serious," Pippa replied. The women were in tears. "Like what? I'm not about have another baby! My oldest is 31. Hell, I'm 39. Um nope. I'm not the one," Pippa added. She shook her head and sipped her water.

"Preach girl," Jasmine said. "Ant asked me if I wanted to give AJ and Donny a baby sister. I said with whose vagina," Jasmine told. Reneé sipped her tea and stood up.

"Alright girls, let's get to the stage. We gotta make sure we don't look like how our men got us," Reneé said. Phillipa smirked, and stood up.

"And how would that be, Neé," Pippa asked, innocently.

"Fucked up," Reneé laughed. The women left the room in a fit of laughter. As they reached the stage the giggles came to a sudden halt at the sight of hungover Lin. His hair was a greasy mess, he was in the same shirt that Pippa saw him in on Friday, and he looked like a zombie.

"Wow," Pippa whispered. Lin glanced at her, but quickly looked away.

"Are you sure you wanna do this," Jasmine asked. Phillipa actually felt physically sick, just at the sight of him. Not because of the hungover factor, but because it was him. Her first love, first husband, first one night stand, first heart break, first (and only) father of her children. He was him. The man she thought she would be with forever. Now, you probably thought 'what Pippa, you jut saw him Friday! Where did those feelings come from?' and you wouldn't be wrong for that thought. But, in retrospect, she was about to commit a crime of passion and wasn't thinking about Lin. Also, fuck Vanessa.

Anywho, Pippa shrugged off the thought, and nodded. "Yeah. I'm good," Pippa responded. Lin held his hands up and grabbed everyone's attention.

"I'm gonna go put myself together and then we can start," he announced. Everyone nodded, and went back to their tiny groups to talk.

"The Schuyler sisters," Leslie yelled. He came up the women and hugged them.

"Aaron Burr, sir," Reneé replied. Jasmine looked back to see Daveed, Chris, and Oak coming towards them.

"Here come the General! Tommy J and Hercules Mulligan," she smiled. The guys hugged their co-stars and formed a small circle by the stairs on the stage.

"Where's John Lauren's in the place to be," Oak asked. Jasmine smiled and checked the time on her phone.

"He should be here soon. AJ got his keys taken so he had to drop the boys off at school," Jasmine explained. Daveed placed his arm around Pippa's neck to lean.

"Where are you chickadees?" He asked. Pippa shrugged.

"They were at Lin's last night so they may or may not be at school. But, I haven't gotten a call that says other wise so I'm going to say school." Phillipa said. Daveed nodded.

"You guys still do that?" Chris asked. Phillipa nodded. She hated it, because kids need stability. But Lin wanted what he wanted and Pippa didn't want to fight anymore.

"Yeah. And this year he gets the kids for Christmas and I get them for Thanksgiving." Pippa answered. Chris sighed and shook his head.

"Damn. I don't agree with him doing that to you." Chris said. Pippa nodded and moved from under Daveed's arm.

"I know. I know. But, there's nothing we can do. I'm not about to take him to court but, I will if Vanessa shows up again," she said. The guys stitched their eyebrows together in confusion.

"Why," Oak asked. Pippa rolled her neck towards him.

"Because, this bitch hit Lesley. Straight up slapped her across the face. If my kids weren't in that house, I probably would have murdered her," Phillipa explained. The guys let their jaws drop and the girls rolled their eyes.

"I wish a bitch would hit Donny. AJ is whatever because he's 15 and can handle himself. But Donny is eight. Ant would have to bail me out of jail," Jasmine said. Phillipa sighed and shook her head.

"Ugh. And what's worse is that Lin probably wasn't listening when I told him. Sometimes I feel like he could give two shits about those kids," Pippa complained. Reneé side eyed Pippa and grabbed her arm.

"Hey. Ease up on the man. One, he writes our checks. Two, he's the father of your children. And Three, you know his dad just died," Reneé said. Phillipa bit her lip and nodded.

"I know. It's just so fucking frustrating," Pippa said. Reneé went to speak, but was cut off by a new and improved Lin. He looked like he was wide eyed and bushy tailed. And he actually looked hot...in Pippa's eyes. That's the man I married. Pippa thought. She quickly listened to the stage directions and reacted accordingly.

😇😇😇
Pippa sat in her old dressing room and looked at the couch as a flashback hit her like a ton of bricks.

Flashback

Lin sat on the comfy chair with Pippa on his lap. They made out as intermission went on. They were doing a show for a bunch of high schools in the area. Pippa had her arms around his neck, as his were around his waist. He was in his Act Two costume and she was still in her maternity costume from Yorktown. Lin placed his hand on the baby bump and pulled out. "Damn. I wish this was real," he whispered. Pippa pecked him.

"I know. I know. But, I'm on the pill. It's just not a good time right now," she lied. Lin shook his head and lightly pushed Phillipa off his lap. "Babe, what's wrong," she asked. Lin shook his head and stood up.

"I'm tired of the lies, Phillipa," he sighed. "The doctor called about your tubal ligation appointment and to see how you were feeling about the miscarriage," he revealed. Phillipa played with her hands and looked at her lap.

"I'm sorry," she started. Lin shook his head and slapped the counter, which made her jump.

"NO! You don't get to be fucking sorry," he yelled. "If you were sorry you wouldn't have done it! I'm your husband! Why didn't you come to me about this! That was my baby too," he cried. Phillipa got up and moved to Lin, but he shunned her away. "Don't touch. I can't take this anymore," he sighed. Pippa shook he head. She saw where the conversation headed.

"No. Please don't," she cried. Lin ran his hands through his hair.

"I want a divorce. The papers are sitting on the counter home," he said. As soon as the sentence left his mouth he left the room. Phillipa collapsed on the floor in a tears.

Real Time

Pippa looked in the mirror and wiped her tears. You have no one to blame but yourself. She thought. As Phillipa's pity party carried on, someone knocked on the door. "Come in," she said. She thought it was Reneé or Jazzy and didn't even pretend to clear her tears.

"What's wrong," the voice asked. Pippa turned around in shock. It wasn't either of her friends.

"Lin, what are you doing in here," she asked. Lin moved to her seat, and placed his hand on the small of her back.

"P, what's wrong," he asked again. Pippa stood up and folded her arms.

"Nothing," she iced. Lin shook his head.

"Come on-"

"The fuck do you care? You didn't care before? Why now? 13 years later," she spat. Lin looked at the carpet and twiddled his thumbs. "Exactly. Just get out. I know we have to pretend to be in love on stage but, we don't have to back here," she said. Lin shook his head out of frustration. He couldn't get the words that he wanted to come out. Phillipa pushed past him and headed to the stage.

😇😇😇

As "The Schuyler Sisters" song played Lin stood in the wings as he contemplated what he was about to do. She might hit you. Or she could fuck you....Or both. Fuck it. Why not? He thought. As soon as the girls walked off the stage Lin pulled Pippa under the stairs. "Lin what are you doing? You're gonna miss your queue," Pippa said. Lin shook his head.

"I need to tell you something," he started.

"Tell me later. Go sing," she urged. Lin rolled his eyes and placed his hand over Pippa's mouth.

"Can I speak," he asked. Pippa rolled her eyes and nodded. Lin removed his hand and continued. "Okay. I have thought a lot about what you said. And I concluded that your dumb as hell," he said. Phillipa gasped, and hit his chest.

"That's what you wanted to tell me? Asshole," she scoffed. Pippa went to walk away but, Lin pulled her back.

"I'm not done! You need to open your fucking eyes. I only took the kids so that you were forced to see me. I still love you," he confessed. Pippa rolled her eyes and cocked her head to the side.

"You're the one that wanted to the fucking divorce! You're the one that took my kids. And you're the one that practically pushed me into Stevens arms! The fuck," she replied. Lin sighed, and pushed Phillipa to the wall behind him. He let his lips lock with hers in passion and force. Their lips moved in sync as if they hadn't spent 13 years apart. The kiss went on until Lesley cleared his throat to signify that he was there. Phillipa placed her hand over her mouth and ran to her dressing room. Lin bit his lip and turned to Leslie.

"Hi," he simply said. Leslie shook his head and walked away. That went well. Lin though. He skipped up the stairs and to his own dressing room as if the past 13 years were just erased. That wasn't the case for Pippa.

😇😇😇

At the apartment Jasmine held Phillipa's hair back as her friend spilled the contents of her stomach into the toilet. Reneé and Jasmine watched Pippa cry for three hours before she made herself sick. And the worst part was not that she kissed Lin and cheated on Steven, it was that she liked the kiss and wished it didn't end. Pippa stood up and washed out her mouth. "You alright," Reneé asked. Phillipa shook her head and moved to her bed. The grown woman slid in and let her friends spoon her from behind and in front. The three cuddled as Jasmin stroked Pippa's hair and Reneé butterfly kissed the top of her head. Phillipa laid her head on Reneé's chest and took a deep breath.

"What am I gonna do," she asked. Jasmine wrapped her arms around Pippa from behind.

"You need to come to terms with the fact that you may still love Lin," Jasmine suggested. Pippa nestled her head deeper into Reneé's chest and sobbed.

"I can't do that. I'm marrying Steven. I love him," she shakily fought. Reneé gave her the famous really look.

"Do you," she asked. Phillipa fell silent for a second.

"Before today, I thought I did," she answered.

"And now," Jasmine inquired. Phillipa shrugged.

"I'm not so sure," she responded. Reneé took over stroking Pippa's hair and felt her breathing steady to signal the Asian-American had fallen asleep. Reneé and Jasmine shared a look of disbelief before they fell asleep as well.
