“When
a child comes up missing on Wisteria Lane, it’s usually because they have
chased the Ice Cream truck, or they have followed an interesting new animal, or
maybe they just find the amusement of seeing a parent search for them… On the
lane children are always found, one way…or another.”
“Solis! Uh, Black hair, round…” Gaby
was talking to the officer at the desk when Carlos moved her to the side and
stepped in. “It’s been 24 hours and we've been waiting patiently… we just want
to find our daughter.” The police officer searched through the desk and pulled
out some papers. “Here, fill out these forms and were going to need a picture
of her… most recent one you have.” Gaby was fumbling through her bag when the
note Juanita wrote fell to the floor. Carlos looked at her as she paused and he
reached for it. When he opened the letter a picture of Juanita’s real mother,
Carmen fell from the inside. Carlos looked at the picture and back at Gaby.
In the middle of doing dishes, Lynette
threw the sponge down when she heard the doorbell ring out. When she opened the
door she smiled a huge smile, there stood Julie Mayer with her baby girl
Sophie. “Oh my god, get in here!” Lynette hugged Julie and grabbed the baby
from her. Julie was smiling, “She wanted to see her grandma.” Lynette cringed
“Ya well Sort of.” Julie took her coat off as Lynette spun around with
Sophie. “Where’s your mom, I haven’t
seen her since she left the lane?” Lynette asked Julie as she blew on Sophie’s
belly. “Mom is kind of busy lately.” Julie replied. Lynette stopped and looked
at her. “Has Susan found a guy?!” Julie laughed. “No no, I don’t think she will
date, not after Mike.” They both stood there looking at each other. Lynette
broke the silence. “Well…?” Julie smiled and held out her hand. On it was a
huge diamond ring.
Bree was covered in flour and licking
her fingers before she took off her apron and placed the pie on top of a pot
holder. She knocked on Roy’s door and smiled her usual till he opened. When he
did open Bree noticed the furniture covered in sheets. All she had to do was
shoot Roy a look and he nodded “I know, I know... if I leave I should tell you
girls, but I figured… it would be less dramatic if I snuck out. Bree smiled.
“Now Roy, when have you ever known me to be dramatic?” In an instant most of
the lane was at Bree’s place toasting champagne and eating bruschetta on toast.
The girls were in the kitchen with
Julie hugging her and asking tons of questions. “You’re going to be a beautiful
bride… and remember I get commission on any gown you buy.” Gaby said while
laughing, she stopped when she noticed the girls looking at her. “Oh look,
Quiche.” With that said Gaby followed the waiter and away from the group. “That’s one reason I wanted to talk to you
guys but I wanted to wait.” Julie said “Wait for what?” asked Bree. “…Well no
offence but I wanted to wait till Renee got back from her honeymoon to talk
fashion.” Julie winced but was relieved when the ladies bowed their heads in
defeat and agreement. “Lynette, How long is Renee going to be away? It’s got to
be the longest honeymoon in history.” Bree exclaimed.
As Lynette tried to answer, Julie’s
Fiancé Jordan walked in. They kissed and smiled. It wasn't long before Steve walked
over. “Jordan? Jordan Bailey?” Jordan spun around. “Oh wow, hey…” Jordan shook
Steve’s hand “Hey Julie this is Steve Michaels, I went to med school with him.”
Julie shook his hand. “Where’s Tiffany?” Jordan asked. Steve smiled. “Uh yea
Tiff and I got a divorce.” Steve said with little emotion. Jordan seemed
sympathetic. From across the room Jennifer spotted the group talking, and when
she looked closer her eyes widened and she put her glass down then snuck out
through the front door.
Roy was making his way
to the door as well when he spotted Gaby on the steps crying. “Gaby why don’t
you go home and wait for word about your little girl.” He said as he sat down
next to her. “Because if I’m not surrounded by all of you, I will think about
her and worry even more…” Without word Roy put his arm around Gaby and pulled
her close. “Yes we pray all children are
found, but sometimes it’s better to pray we find them in one piece.”
