Kat was stunned, "I'm not scared of you. I just....I just thought you were mad at me. I'm sorry I didn't believe you.." "Why would I be mad at you?" Julia asked, returning Kat's stunned expression and then looking up at Philip and back to Kat "There's no reason to be mad at you, Kat." Her lips quirked sheepishly "I thought you were mad at me because of what Mitchell might have told you." She tucked her hair behind her ear and grinned to herself and Kat as she admitted "Now Mitchell made me mad. Because he was hurting our family. "But you," Julia added quietly and meaning it "are part of that family to me. I was upset thinking he hurt what we'd been able to build between us. Trust, you shooing people away when they're trying to horn in on our Saturday morning pancakes and cartoons..... us waking Nick up by bouncing on the bed... I don't want to lose that Kat. Friends like you are hard to come by you know."
