(((((((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))FACE TO FACE. cont….."I can’t believe that Dad used to **** her!" Shiloh said.Both Zahara and Bella slapped Shiloh’s arm. "SHILOH!" They both whispered."Oh come on. You guys were both thinking the same thing. You just didn’t want to say it." Shiloh defended herself."It’s so weird. I can’t imagine that he was married to someone else besides Mom. It’s so surreal" Bella said.Shiloh got her SIDEKICK V out of her GUCCI tote. She began to text messaging."What are you doing?’ Zahara asked her."I’m sending Mad a message, telling him who we are looking at right now. I’ll send one to AJ too. He probably won’t check his messages for a week." Shiloh told her.Jennifer and Courtney continued to shop. Courtney had some things for Coco. She glanced around the store, and there: She saw them.Zahara was studying Jennifer from afar. She remembered when she was a little girl, she saw Jennifer walking on the beach in Malibu. Shiloh was a toddler and Will had been a baby. She remembered Jennifer as a lady, Daddy knew at one time. She knew her father had been married before, But it just seemed weird to her. "OK you guys. Are we going to sit here all day and stare at her?""Yes." Shiloh answered her.Zahara looked at her sister. "No were not. Let’s get out of here.""Wait! I still have to try on my jeans. Bella told her. She got up and went into a dressing room. "It will only take a few minutes." Bella explained to them."You know I wonder what she looked like when she was married to Dad. I mean she’s not really ugly. She just looks so much different from Mom. I wonder if she and Dad had any kids. We may have a half brother or sister we don’t know about." Shiloh told Zahara."If Daddy and this lady had kids, we would know about it." Zahara told her.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Courtney Cox Arqeutte saw the Jolie Pitt girls sitting by the dressing rooms. Over the years, she had seen Brad and Angelina’s children grow up. Coco and their kids had gone to the same school. Although her and David did not move in the same circles as Brad and Angelina did, but when their paths did cross, they were cordial to one another. The last thing her best friend needed to see was her ex-husbands daughters, her ex-husband and Angelina Jolie Pitts daughters.TO BE CONT………..

(((((((FANFIC ALERT))))))FACE TO FACE. cont.."No. It’s okay. I’m alright.""Are you sure?" Courtney asked"I’m fine. But I sure could use a drink right about now." Jennifer said laughing.Courtney looked at her best friend. Many years had passed since her and Brad were husband and wife. But some wounds, took a lifetime to heal. She could see the pain and sadness in her face."Court, while you take care of that." Pointing to the clothes in Courtney’s hands." I’ll get the car. Jennifer wanted to get far away from this place as soon as she could."OK. Wait!""What?" Jen asked her."There out paps out front." Courtney told her."Well we’ll just go out the back way.""And pass right by the dressings rooms? I don’t think so."Jennifer had not been in the tabloids or magazines for a few years. The last thing she needed was to be photographed with Brad and Angelina’s daughters."You know. I’m going to put these things on hold. I’ll call later and just have them sent to me. Let’s just get out of here." Courtney told her."I’m right behind you."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bella finally came out of the dressing room. "It’s about time." Zahara told her."Sorry. Is she still here?""No. She left five minutes ago." Shiloh told her."Can we go now?" Zahara asked them."Yes we can go now."Shiloh told her. They started to gather up their things. "You guys, I just thought of something. We don’t have to ask Aunt Holly anything.""Good." Zahara told her."We can get all the answers we want.""How?" Bella asked."Old School internet." Shiloh said smiling.TO BE CONT…………………………….

(((((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))FACE TO FACE……cont……..The drive home that late afternoon, was quiet. Each sister was wrapped in their own thoughts. Zahara was trying to remember when it was just Mom, Dad, her and Maddox. She was trying to piece the hazy images together. Bella was still trying to imagine her father married to someone else, besides their mother. Shiloh on the other hand was very curious. She wanted to know more about Jennifer Aniston.Zahara broke the silence. "I don’t think we should mention to Mom and Dad, that we saw Jennifer today." She was trying to keep her eye on the traffic ahead of her."I agree." Bella said.Zahara didn’t hear anything from her other sister."Shiloh?"Shiloh looked at her older sister through her sunglasses."Yeah I agree with you guys. I don’t think we should say anything.""Good." Zahara said with some relief in her voice."For now." Shiloh added. "I do think we should try to get as much information that we can about her. I have questions, I know you guys have questions, even if you don’t want to admit to it. Were all curious."Bella nodded her head. Shiloh was right. She was a little curious."I’m going to try find some answers. Are you guys going to help me?As DANNY OCEAN would say: ARE YOU IN OR ARE YOU OUT?""How?" Bella asked."I told you. OLD SCHOOL INTERNET. We’ll do some research.""I’m not good at research." Bella told her.Yes she was curious. But Bella thought that maybe, they should just leave well enough alone. Zahara continued to concentrate on the road. When Shiloh set her mind to do something, she was like a bulldog. She just hope that they were doing the right thing."Yeah, I’ll help. We better not get into any trouble.""Don’t worry." Shiloh said smiling. "Okay, good. Let’s get the skinny on this BIYOTCH!"Angelina Jolie Pitt was in her office. She looked at the securtity monitor and she saw that the girls were home. It was rare that she had the house to herself. The silence was quite soothing. With a husband and five children, quiet and the Jolie Pitts rarely, went together. She heard the chatter in the hallway as the girls passed right by her office."Hey come back here." Angelina yelled.The chatter suddenly stopped. "How was the shopping?"The girls came into their Mom’s office. Zahara looked at Shiloh and Bella and then back at her Mom."It was okay."TO BE CONT…………….

How was it?""Uh, good. I found my jeans." Bella said."What about you Shi, Did you find those shoes you were looking for?" Angelina asked her."Yeah, I did." Shiloh answered. Angelina was looking at her daughters. Usaully after any shopping excursion, they would be laughing, talking, they could not wait to show her, what they bought. Not this time. Something was odd."Where’s Dad?" Zahara asked."He’s on his way home. Will be going out to dinner soon. You guys should get cleaned up." Angelina explained to them."Okay." Zahara told her. She looked at her sisters."Come on you guys. We better do what Mom tells us.""Wait! Are you guys okay?" Angelina walked over toward her daughters. She put her hand on Bella’s forehead. "Your not coming down with a cold or anything? Are you?" She studied Bella’s face."No I’m fine." Bella told her."Me too." Zahara followed."Ditto." Shiloh added.Angelina looked at them. "Okay. I’ll see you guys in a bit."The Jolie Pitts had a nice dinner at KOI’S. Back home, Brad and Angelina were out on the deck. Brad loved the seclusion of the Malibu Estate. The actual house had grown too small for the family. The children had to share the bedrooms. But they all loved the coziness of the house. Brad was having a Corona, Angelina was looking at a script."Girls were quiet at dinner." Brad said.Angelina looked up from her script."You noticed that too?""Yeah. Should we saything?""Let’s wait a couple of days. I think they are finally realizing thay they won’t be together soon, with Zee leaving next month." Angelina told him."Yeah, that could be it. I’m having my own issues with that." Brad told her."Come on now."Angelina said smiling. She wasn’t going to be your little girl forever."Brad reached out for Angelina’s hand." She will always be my little girl."In the bedroom that Shliloh and Zahara shared, Shiloh was on her Razor thin lap top. Zahara and Bella flanked her. Zahara, Shiloh and Bella were quite aware of how famous and powerful their parents were. Both parents were OSCAR winners, their mother had a great acting career. Their father was one of the most successful producers.TO BE CONT……..

Their mother happened to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Their father was STILL one of the sexiest men, even at his age. They have grown up with the endless paparazzi, the media intrusion, autograph seekers and their parents’ worldwide fans. Everything……….."Okay." I’ll start at IMDB.COM That’s a good place." Shiloh decided. She typed in her father’s name. His profile came right up. She scanned over the information, she already knew."I think I found something. Looks like her and Dad met on a blind date, set up through their agents. How desparate was she?" Shiloh asked."Blind date? They did that back then?" Zahara asked."I know, huh." Bella added.Shiloh continued to read." You guys, they were married, JULY 29, 2000. Became known as the GOLDEN COUPLE, Huh. Separated JANUARY 7, 2005. So they were married, what four in a half years?""Yeah, that sounds right." Bella told her." Really? Does it say why they broke up?" Zahara asked her."No." Shiloh answered. "Let’s see." Shiloh kept scrolling, "They were divorced, OCTOBER 2, 2005."Are you sure?" Zahara asked."Yeah, Why?" Shiloh asked."Shi, I was born JANUARY 8,2005. Mom and Daddy adopted me from Africa in JULY of 2005, but he wasn’t divorced until OCTOBER 2? He couldn’t been married to Mom when he adopted me. What about Maddox? We know Mom adopted Maddox on her own. When did Dad adopt him?" Zahara asked. This wasn’t making any sense.Bella looked at her oldest sister. She could see the confusion and sadness on her face."Maybe we should stop.""No. We just started. I want to find out more. They said here that they were Hollywood’s GOLDEN COUPLE. Let’s see if we can find some pictures. There could be some wedding pictures." Shiloh said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Images after images Of Brad and Jennifer throughout their marriage, filled the computer screen: RED CARPET EVENTS. MOVIE PREMIERES. AWARD SHOWS.

Shiloh clicked on a few more pages and it was the same thing, same subject matter regarding their parents. Zahara walked over to her bed and sat down. Bella followed her and sat right beside her. Shiloh turned around in her swivel chair and looked at her sisters. They both had tears in their eyes."Why were they saying those things?" Bella asked tearfully. She began to cry. Zahara hugged her. Shiloh came over to the bed. Shiloh tried to comfort Bella. She began rubbing her back."I don’t know Bella, but were going to find out." Shiloh said softlyZahara looked at Shiloh. They just found out that at one time, the whole world thought their parents were having an affair. And she wanted to keep on diging for more information. Zahara did not understand Shiloh sometimes."Don’t you think that we have FOUND OUT enough right now?" Zahara asked her with raw emotion in her voice. "Don’t you?!" she asked again.Shiloh looked at Zee. She could see the pain in her face. Her face was streaked with tears. "I just meant-"Zahara cut her off. "We know what you just meant. We shouldn’t have been looking at this stuff in the first place.""You wanted too." Shiloh accused her."Yeah, and I was wrong. I’ts private." Zahara told her."Private? Are you kidding me? It’s on the internet. Public information." Shiloh told her."Well it’s private to ME!" Zahara told her."Me too." Bella said. She got up."I’m going to bed. I don’t want to do any more RESEARCH." She said with anger in her voice. Shiloh was getting pissed."You guys act like this is all my fault.""You and your research. You just had to know, didn’t you?"Bella asked. "I’m out of here. Night, Zee." She gave her sister another hug."Night Bella. It will be okay." Zahara told her."Night Shiloh." Bella said leaving the bedroom. She did not give her sister a hug."I didn’t mean for her to get upset, you either." Shiloh said to Zahara."How did you think she was going to react? She’s a kid for christ sake!" Zahara told her."I didn’t know what we were going to find. I’m shocked too." Shiloh explained."I’m going to brush my teeth." Zahara told her.Shiloh watched her sisiter leave the bedroom. The last thing she ever wanted to do, was to hurt them.The information was a bit shocking. What really happened between her parents and Jennifer Aniston? Shiloh knew that there were a lot of questions, that still needed to be answered. And she was going to try to find them.TO BE CONT…..(((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))))PURE FICTION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLYFACE TO FACE…cont…The next few days, were awkward at best. Everytime the Jolie Pitt girls saw their parents, images of their father and Jennifer and those screaming headlines with those nasty accusations, raced through their minds.Angelina and Brad noticed that there was something going on too. Everytime they asked them, if anything was wrong, they would get one word answers, saying everything was fine. It seemed like Zahara,Shiloh and Bella had to tell Angelina a hundred times, they were not sick.Shiloh had e-mailed Maddox telling him what they had stumbled upon. She was still waiting for a reply. She sent one to AJ too. He was still in North Carolina at his Basketball Camp.It was an early afternoon. Bella was at their other home, horseback riding. Shiloh was on one of the decks. She could see Zahara below, laying out on the beach reading a book. Shiloh had her laptop on her lap. She was about to go online again, but Angelina came outside to join her."Hey baby" Angelina said to her smiling."Hey Mom." Shiloh said. She looked at her mother trying to find, something."What are you doing?" Angelina asked as she sat on a chaise lounge ."Oh nothing." Shiloh answered.Angelina shook her head. "What is with you guys?""What?" Shiloh asked her, playing dumb."You and your sisters. For the past few days, you guys have been acting like Zombies. You barely talk to one another. When you do, your fighting about something. Everytime I ask Zee about it, she gives me a one word answer.""I don’t know, Mom." Shiloh did her best to hide her emotions."Bella looks like she’s on the verge of crying. and you have been surprisingly, quiet." Angelina told her.Shiloh shifted in her chair. "I guess were just going to miss Zee, when she leaves for school." Shiloh was hoping that would stick.Angelina looked at her. She had a strange feeling that it was something more, something big. She didn’t want to pry, not yet. "Okay. I’m going to pick up Bella in a half hour, Do you want to come with me?""No. I’ll just hang out here."

She needed to know as much as she could. She slipped the MAMS DVD into her computer.Although she has seen this movie a hundred times, Shiloh felt she was watching it for the FIRST time. She could see the chemistry and the passion between her Mother and Father. Their loved just oozed out of the screen. "So this is how the cheating rumors started." Shiloh said out loud, as she finished the movie. She had to tell Zahara and Bella. They needed to watch this movie again. Shiloh was now on the PEOPLE website. PEOPLE magazine had been around for decades. It was the one magazine that told the truth. This is where she found information about her self. It was so SURREAL to be reading information, about her. The announcement of her Mother’s pregnancy. How her Mother’s pregnancy was chronicled. How the world was eagerly anticipating her birth,when she was born, her first baby photos. She recognized those pictures.The fact that her mother was giving her Dad children, through adoption and also having biological children, where his first wife couldn’t or wouldn’t.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After another dinner where their parents tried to pump information out of them, to no avail, Shiloh called a meeting with Zahara and Bella.Brad and Angelina were in the family room, watching TV. The girls once again were in the bedroom that Shiloh and Zahara shared."I know you guys think that I shouldn’t be prying into our parents past." Shiloh told them."No, you shouldn’t." Zahara told her."And I agree with Zee." Bella said."Well, I’m sorry. I think we have a right to know. Their past is affecting our present. I watched MAMS again today, You guys have to watch it again. Gives the movie a whole new meaning." Shiloh told them."So those headlines were true, about Dad leaving Jennifer for Mom? They had an affair? He and Mom would do something like that?" Bella asked in a small voice."Of course not!" Zahara told her."Zee, Bella,They met and fell in love while filming MAMS. Dad and Jennifer separated. It looks like they were having a ton of problems. Dad wanted a family, she didn’t. When Mom adopted you, Dad was with her. Dad,Mom and Maddox all came to Africa together, to get you."Shiloh told her smiling.TO BE CONT..

"They weren’t married yet, but they were obviously together."Zahara began to feel a little better. It was actually the first time she smiled in days."It seems like once Dad wasn’t with Jennifer anymore, he went right after Mom. You , Mad , Mom and Dad, became an instant family. By the end of the year, Dad was in the process of adopting both you and Mad.""Really?""Yeah. If you want, I’ll print it out for you." Shiloh told her. She was really glad that she found this, especially for Zee’s sake."Thanks Shi." Zahara smiled at her sister."It seems like there were a TON of rumors, that Dad cheated on Jennifer with Mom, but that’s all they were: rumors, NASTY rumors." Shiloh informed them."Honest?" Bella asked."Honest. It was such a hot topic, debate, if you can believe that, for a couple of years. Fans of Jennifer called Mom and Dad all kinds of names, pretty pathetic. I guess when the GOLDEN COUPLE broke up, a lot of her fans went psycho." Shiloh told them. "When Dad and Mom got together, they just ******* freaked out.""Why?" Bella asked."I don’t know. They used to have blogs about celebrities, where people would talk, give their opinions, just about on anything. I found this real cool one, It was called, JUST JARED. It’s where fans of Mom and Dad all over the world would talk about their movies, their causes, their relationship, even us." Shiloh explained."Us?" Bella asked."Yeah. Mom and Dad had some incredible fans back then." Shiloh told them."They still do." Bella said prouldy. She was starting to feel better too. Those horrible things, people said about their parents, really scared her.Accusing Mom and Dad of doing the unthinkable. Dad being with another woman while he was still married to Jennifer and that other woman,being their Mom? No way. Her parents wouldn’t do anything like that."I found this interview Jennifer did with VANITY FAIR, right after her and Dad split." Shiloh told them."That rag?" Zahara said."That’s the one. I haven’t read it yet.""Hey Shi? When did Mom when her second OSCAR? Was it 06 or 07?" Bella asked." I think 07.""Are you sure?" Bella asked."Look it up." Zahara told her."Oh yeah." Shiloh said smiling. She went on IMDB.COM. she typed in her Mom’s name. Shiloh looked for the awards info, she scrolled, scanned and then stumbled on some information.

Zahara was right, she was only a kid. The information they found out about their parents and Jennifer, scared Bella."Shi?" Zahara asked again."Guys, there is some stuff here about Mom, before she met and married Dad." Shiloh told them."What kind of stuff?" Bella asked her."Yeah, come on Shi. What is it?" Zahara asked."If I tell you, Promise not to get mad at me?" Shiloh asked ,looking at both of her sisters. Zahara looked at Bella, then back at Shiloh."Bella?""I want to know."

But these pictures were way DIFFERENT from the one’s they saw of their father’s first marriage.First, the girls were SHOCKED when they layed their eyes on Billy Bob Thornton for the first time."OH MY GOD! Look how old he was?" Shiloh said, with disbelief in her voice.Zahara was shaking her head in disbelief. Their mother had always been beautiful, she couldn’t believe the man she was kissing and hugging, was her husband. Look at him, GROSS!""Bella you have to see these!" Shiloh told her.Bella walked back over to the desk where the girls were sitting."He’s so OLD! I think I’m going to throw up."The images of their mother and Billy Bob Thornton showed them doing the same thing in almost every photo: kissing and hugging. RED CARPET EVENTS, MOVIE PREMIERES, RESTAURANTS. They were basically, joined at the lips."DAMN! Could they not keep their hands off of one another." Shiloh was saying."That is disgusting, Look at her! She’s hanging all over him!""Bella, He’s hanging all over her. YUCK!" Shiloh added.Zahara really didn’t know what to say. The man looked absolutely creepy. Nothing at all like Daddy."Are there any pictures of her first husband?" Zahara had always thought their Dad was their Mom’s ONLY husband. She couldn’t believe that she just asked that question. In less than an hour, they had learned that their Mother had been married three times………"Um, let me check. Shiloh told her. "Let’s see………..Oh, here’s one." Shiloh told them. It was a picture of Angelina and Jonny at the GOLDEN GLOBES one year. "At least this one looked normal. He was kinda cute." Shiloh said.Zahara and Bella looked at the picture." Look how pretty Mom looked." Zahara said in a soft voice."I’m going to ‘google’ Mom. Let’s see what else we can find.’ The Jolie Pitt girls, knew that there was no going back. They were in way too deep.

Shiloh said out loud as she turned off her laptop.Zahara, Shiloh and Bella had just finished watching their Mother’s INDSIDE THE ACTOR’S STUDIO, APRIL 2005 interview. It was actually one of Angelina’s best interviews. As she has in the past, she was always been open about her life. Sometimes her honesty tend to backfire on her. Her words would always get turned around. She had often been misqouted. It was this interview that Angelina was open about issues with:SELF MUTALATION/ CUTTING HERSELF.LOSING HER VIRGINITY AT AGE FOURTEEN.UNDERSTANDING ADDICTIONS, IN ALL FORMS.THE NASTY RUMORS REGARDING HER OSCAR KISS, WITH BROTHER JAMES HAVEN.HER LESBIAN AFFAIR WITH HER FOXFIRE CO-STAR, JENNY SMITSZU.Her daughters on the other hand, thought it was just a bit too open. They had just come into contact with those suprising relevations. They were in complete utter shock.Finding out that their Mother had been married twice before she met their Father, that was nothing. Finding out ,that the whole world at one time that their parents were having affair, that was nothing. Learning that their Mother once had a sexaul relationship with another WOMAN, now that was something."Can you believe this ****?" Shiloh was still the only one, that had said anything.She looked at both Zahara and Bella. They didn’t know what to say. Zahara looked at Bella, she had started to cry again. She was wiping the tears off of her face. Zahara put her hand on her youngest sister’s shoulder. "Bella, I Know. It’s going to be okay." She started to hug her. Who was she kidding! She felt like crying too. She could feel the tears starting to well up in her own eyes."Hello! I ‘m asking you guys a question." Shiloh begein pacing and shaking her head."You know I was taken back with the fact, that Dad used to sleep with Jennifer, after we saw her in person last week. At least he was having sex with the opposite sex. Unlike our dear Mother, she was ******* this Jenny person!!!!!!!!!" Shiloh began laughing in a sarcastic laugh. "BOTH of are parents had ex-wives and girfriends name JENNY!!! WHAT THE **** IS THAT?!!!!!!"There were so many emotions running through Shiloh’s mind. She felt hot tears burning in her eyes.

He had already cut up a variety of fruit. He was now mixing the eggs, getting them ready, so he could scramble them. Angelina joined him into the kitchen."Something smells good." She told him smiling. She walked over to Brad and gave him a kiss on his nice soft lips."I know, it’s you." Brad said smiling. Each and every day, he thanked God for blessing him with a beautiful, wonderful wife. and five beautiful healthy, outstanding children. He always thought of Will, their GUARDIAN ANGEL."I think it’s the bacon. Angelina said as she got the orange juice out of the refrigerator."Girls aren’t up yet?" Bard asked as he scambled the eggs."No, not yet. I’m not surprised. I heard them up, way past midnight. Sounds like they were arguing about something. Baby, I’m really starting to worry about them. something is going on.""I know. I asked each one of them, if there was anything wrong, anything they wanted to talk to me about, they tell me, everything is fine. I know their lying. I can see it in their eyes." Brad told her.Angelina began to pour the juice into some glasses. "I hear it in their voices. I don’t like prying, but I’m so close to confronting, all three of them."Zahara was making up her bed. She had so many thoughts running through her head. She hadn’t got much sleep, the previous night. She looked over at Shiloh. She was still lying in bed, facing the wall. She knew that Shiloh was hurting. It almost broke her heart, when she saw Shiloh break down in tears last night. Zahara was also thinking of their Mother. The interview was very revealing and shocking. But Zahara was also thinking about the OTHER parts of the interview. The way her Mom’s face lit up, when she would talk about Maddox. Her passion for flying. The emotion in her voice when, she talked about the causes that were dear to her heart. The amazing work she did for the UNHCR.Zahara loked over at her sister."You awake?"Shiloh rolled over and rubbed her eyes."Yes, I’m awake." she answered in a sleepy voice.There was knock on the door.

She still had her pajamas on."Morning.""Morning. Did you get much sleep last night?" Zahara asked her."A little. I just kept thinking about Mom, Daddy. All this stuff.""Join the club." Shiloh said as she got out of bed. "I don’t know. It’s just so weird. It’s like all of this, learning about her two other marriages, the stuff she said in that interview? I just don’t know anymore." Bella said with confusion in her voice."Weird? That’s the understatement of the year. Try ******* bizzare!!! From having a live in boyfriend at the age of fourteen; cutting herself, because sex, just wasn’t exciting for her? Probably tried every drug that was out there?Oh don’t forget, she fucked another woman!" Shiloh said with bitterness and sarcasm in her voice."Shiloh, Stop!!! Zahara said. "Yes, she did those things. She can’t change the past. We can’t change the past. Yes, they are shocking. Yes, some of them are-."Shiloh cut her off. "Oh, I forgot there were rumors she was ******* Uncle Jaime! You can’t even make up **** like this!!!!" Shiloh was about to lose it."SHILOH, SHUT UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Zahara yelled.Bella looked at her older sisters. Guys, don’t fight!""Like I was saying,Yes it is shocking. I’m freaking out too! But don’t forget the other stuff she talked about. The pain and suffering she saw, while traveling all over the world. When she adopted Maddox, how he changed her, he made her a woman. She couldn’t be selfish anymore. She couldn’t hurt herself anymore. Look at all the amazing work she has done over the years for the UNHCR. Shiloh, a lot of things that she did, she was young. I’m really trying hard not to judge her so bad. That’s all in her PAST. If it wasn’t for Mom, me and Maddox would be dead by now." Zahara told her.Shiloh looked at Zahara and then at Bella. She was so confused. "Why didn’t she tell us, any of this?"Another knock on the door, stopped the conversation cold."It’s me, Dad. Can I come in?"Zahara looked at her sister." Sure Daddy."Brad entered the bedroom. "Come on you guys, shake a leg. Breakfast is on the table." He told them. Once again he felt like he was interrupting something very important."You guys, okay?"

She left the bedroom."Zee?" Brad asked."I’m fine, Daddy." Zahara hate lying to him."I’m going to get dressed too." Bella told her Dad.Zahara looked at her father. She knew what she had to do next.

The week had kept Brad very busy. Both of the movies he was producing, had come up with some problems. Never again he thought, that he would produce two movies, at the same time. Angelina had a busy week too. She was mulling over a couple of scripts. She had numerous conference calls with the UN. On top of that, their three daughtes were acting, nothing like themselves. Shiloh was acting like a little brat. More than once, she had to send her to her room. The child at times was being obnoxious, rude and just unpleasant.Brad was going over their vacation plans. They were planning to spend a couple of weeks at their Chateau, in the South of France, in August. Whenever the family traveled, he always made the arrangements. Angelina was reading a book about Dafur. They didn’t even notice, that Zahara had entered the room.Zahara had been thinking for days, it was time for her parents to know, exactly what had been going on, the past couple of weeks. Bella was a basket case and Shiloh was being a *****. There was no other word, to describe her sister’s behavior, the past few days. "Mom, Daddy? Are you guys busy?" Zahara asked them."No of course not." Angelina told her."What’s going on, Princess?" Brad asked her.Zahara walked over where her mother was sitting. She sat beside her. Brad was sitting in an easy chair,across from Angelina. Zahara suddenly hugged her. It felt so good to be in her Mom’s arms once again. She didn’t care about any of that stuff in her Mom’s past. She just cared about, now."Baby, What’s wrong? What is it?" Angelina asked her, with concern and some fear in her voice.Brad got up and walked over and sat beside both of them.Zahara looked at both of her parents, with those huge brown eyes of her’s. "A couple of weeks ago, when me, Shiloh and Bella were shopping at KITSON’S, we saw somebody?"Angelina looked at Brad."Who, Baby?"Zahara looked at her father and then back at a her mother."Jennifer Aniston."Angelina looked at Brad, as he slumped down on the couch.

" Brad said."What do you mean, wondering about her?" Angelina asked her."Well, Me, Shiloh and Bella, wanted to know more about her, when she was married to Dad." Zahara explained to her parents."Oh." Angelina said as she was looking at Brad."Shiloh began to do some research on the OLD SCHOOL internet and we found stuff about Dad and Jennifer. We saw pictures when they were still married. We saw stories about you, Mom and Jennifer. We saw stories on how you and Mom met-"Brad held up his hand."Stop right there." Brad got up and walked out out of the family room. Zahara looked at her Mother with tears in her eyes." See! I knew I shouldn’t of said anything. He’s mad at me!"Angelina hugged her daughter." Baby no he’s not. Were both actually relieved, that you finally decided to talk to us. We knew something was wrong" Angelina tried to reassure her.Brad had made his way to Zahara and Shiloh’s bedroom. He knocked on the door and he did not wait for an answer. He opened the door. Shiloh was sitting on her bed, listening to music on her IPOD. Bella was sitting on Zahara’s bed, reading a book."Front and Center in the family room, now." Brad told them."It must have been a shock for you guys, to see her in person, huh?""To say the least. It was just so weird. She being Dad’s first wife. She, not being you."

Brad was looking at all the women in his life, that were so precious and dear to him.Shiloh looked back at Zahara, and just shook her head. She knew Zee would spill it, sooner or later. At this point, did she really care?Zahara gave Shiloh a ‘Don’t be Mad at Me’ look. Bella looked at everyone. All she wanted to be was in her Mom’s arms again. Bella got up and walked over to where Angelina and Zahara were sitting. Zahara was on Angelina’s left side, Bella proceeded to sit on her right. She began to hug her Mother and she also began to cry.Both Brad and Angelina could feel her pain. "Baby, it’s okay. I’m right here and I’m not going any where." Angelina told her in a soft soothing voice. Brad reached over and patted, Bella’s head, ever so softly. Angelina looked at all of her daughters and then she looked, back at Brad.Brad pulled up an ottoman, so he could have a clear view of Zahara, Bella and Shiloh, who was still, sitting by herself. Brad began."I’m so sorry you guys have been hurting over all of this, the past couple of weeks. I know it must have been a big shock to see Jennifer."Brad was trying to remember the last time he saw Jennifer. It had almost been twelve years ago. It was on one of the back lots at WARNER BROTHERS. They had both been cordial. It was brief. She had given her condolences, regarding Will. That was it."It must have been a bigger shock, seeing those pictures of us together, when we were married."Brad told them."Yeah. It was just so weird seeing you with someone, that wasn’t Mom." Bella said in a small voice. She was leaning her head on Angelina’s shoulder. She looked up at her and smiled. Angelina smiled back at her. It felt so good to be back in her Mom’s arms again. Some of the stuff she had done, when she was a young girl, she didn’t understand. Why would she want to hurt herself?"All those things we saw, the stories about you and Mom, how you guys met, all that stuff, It was horrible."

It was one of the happiest days in his life. "While we were making MAMS, Jennifer and I were having a lot of problems. We had been for the last year.""What kind of problems?" Shiloh asked him.Brad knew that one day, that he would be having this conversation with his children. He just wasn’t prepared as he always thought he would be. "We started to grow apart from one another. We had trouble communicating. We both realized we wanted different things, out of life." Brad did his best to explain to them."Like you wanted children and she didn’t?" Zahara asked him."That was part of it. It was very complex. Jennifer had some issues. We both realized that, we just weren’t good for one another." "So Mom didn’t have nothing to do with it? She didn’t break up your marriage?" Shiloh asked as she looked at Angelina."Absolutely not. " Brad told her. He looked over at Angelina."Me and your Mother became very good friends while we were filming. Actually, Me, your Mother and Maddox became very good friends. That friendship turned into something else: I fell hopelessly in love with her." Brad said as he looked at Angelina. He continued on." Me and Jennifer decided to separate. Everyone thought I left Jennifer for you mother. Your grandparents even thought so at one time. Metting and falling in love with your Mother, had nothing to do with Jennifer. Your Mother and I, didn’t do anything wrong. Your Mother and I did not have an affair. I swear to you, on my life." Brad told them.The Jolie Pitt girls were so GLAD to finally hear that."Really?" Bella asked in a small voice."Really, sweetheart." Brad said with a little smile.Zahara looked at Shiloh, then back at Brad."Shiloh found some information about when you actually separated and when you were divorced-" Zahara hesitated for a bit.

It was a such a cool story, how Daddy, Mom, Zee and Maddox, all found their way to one another. It was so special how they all became an instant family.Shiloh looked at Zahara. She saw how happy and relieved Zee was. For a brief moment there, she was feeling a little bit jealous. She looked back at her Mom. She wished that she could let some of the anger go, but she just couldn’t. Something inside of her, was preventing her, from doing that. All those things that she did, her other husbands, her other life, those images just kept running through her mind. Why? Why didn’t she ever tell them? **** HER! We knew about Dad’s first marriage, and now we know the whole story.Zahara got up and walked over, where Brad was sitting. She gave her a Dad a big hug. Ever since she was a little girl, she always felt safe, when she was in his arms, whether he was just picking her up or just carrying her. She felt safe, once again."Thanks, Daddy. I love you!"Brad held his princess. "I love you too, honey."Angelina looked at Brad, with a smile on her face, she mouthed ‘I love you’.Bella looked at Brad and then back at her mother. God, what her Mom and Dad must of have gone through, just to be together, just to be a family. It was pretty amazing. She snuggled up to Angelina.Brad and Zahara had sat back down.

((((((((((((FANFIC ALERT))))))))))FACE TO FACE…CONCLUSION.If Shiloh, Bella and Zahara had found out information about Brad, Jennifer and the way she and Brad had met, Angelina knew they had found out information about her. She hugged Bella and Zahara, who were still sitting on each side of her. She often thought what she would exactly say to her daughters, about her past. Her past. A past, she still felt, was HER’S. She had told Maddox, when he was getting ready to leave for college. She was helping him pack one night, and it all just spilled out. He was of course shocked and very much surprised. He was really interested in hearing about her marriage to Billy. At first, he thought he was the reason that they broke up. But Angelina, vehemently told him, don’t ever think that. It was ALL Billy. It had nothing to do with Maddox.The cutting, her introduction to sex, her relationship with Jenny, Maddox asked a lot of questions and she did her best to give him the right answers. She told him how he saved her from her dark existence and that she would ALWAYS be grateful. Angelina thought in a way, it brought her and Maddox even closer. If that was at all possible.With her daughters, she knew it was going to be different. She thought about different times, to tell them.Angelina wanted to wait until they got older. She had thought about telling Zahara before she went away to college, make it a family ritual, but they had beat her to it.And now, her past was colliding with her present and could affect, her daughters futures. "What questions do you have?" Angelina asked Shiloh in a calm voice."Uh, Let’s see, your other husbands or maybe, cutting yourself-" Shiloh was asking in a very sarcastic voice.Brad looked at Shiloh. He knew exactly where this was heading and he was going to put the brakes on this right now."Shiloh, Calm down. I’m not going to have you talk like that to your mother.""No, Brad it’s fine. She can ask all the questions she wants, her sister’s can too." Angelina told him."Not in that tone, she’s not." Brad said, looking directly at Shiloh.Angelina looked at Brad and then back at the girls. "I know it must have been a complete shock to you guys, to find out, that I had been married before.""You think?" Shiloh said."Shiloh?" Brad said, warning her."We were surprised Mom. We just assumed that you were always with Daddy." Zahara told her."I’ve always wanted to tell you guys, but I could never find the right time. Yes, I made some mistakes. Some I have regretted and some I have not. I’ve always been honest about them. I’ve learned a lot from them, they helped changed me and they helped me grow. I’m sorry guys, I’m not going to apologize for that. I am sorry, however, how you guys found out."Bella sat up a bit." Why did you cut yourself?""Honey, It was just a bad time for me. I hated being a teenager. I can’t explain it. It’s just something I did.""Do you have a lot of scars?" Zahara asked."Yeah, I do." Angelina told her. She had tears forming in her eyes."But you stopped. That took a lot of courage." Zahara told her. "Does Maddox know about all of this?"" Yeah, Baby I did stop. And yes, he does." Angelina said"But you didn’t bother to tell us." Shiloh told her."Well, she’s telling us now." Zahara told her younger sister."I love you guys so much, I guess I was trying to protect you in some way.""Protect us? You mean protect yourself." Shiloh told her. "Tell us about your wedding, where the bride wore red, you had your husband’s name painted on your shirt, with your blood? Who does something like that?!!!" Shiloh was getting out of control." And your second husband! Every picture we saw of you guys, you were practically having sex!!!! And let’s not forget, you had sex with another WOMAN!!!!!!!!" Tears were rolling out of control, down her face.Brad stood up."Okay, this is going to stop, RIGHT NOW!""Brad, NO! Were going to put everything right on the table, remember Baby? That’s the way you like to do things." Angelina told him. She knew, that there was no going back."SHILOH, SHUT UP!!" Zahara said with anger in her voice. "So what she did those things." Zahara turned and looked at her Mother." I’m not going to lie to you. I was really shocked, when I found out those things about you. But you know what?""What, honey?" Angelina asked her in a small voice."I don’t care. All the wonderful things you have done, they way you were able to change your life, you stopped doing those things. I love you so much!! If It wasn’t for you, I would be dead. I really believe that, more than ever. now""Oh, baby." Angelina reached out to her. "You know, Maddox said the same thing to me.""Really?" Zahara asked."Yeah, he did. Thank You. I love you too!""Me too Mom." Bella told her. I don’t care, I love you. Thank you for being my Mom."Angelina kissed Bella’s forehead." I love you too, sweetie."She looked over at Shiloh who was crying. "Honey, I know it’s shocking, it’s upsetting. I can’t change the past. I just try my best to learn from it. I’m sorry if you are hurt and are ashamed by it. They were mistakes, big mistakes, but they were, MY mistakes."Shiloh looked at her with a tear streaked face." You act like your proud of them or something.""In a way, some of them I am. Just like how proud I felt, how happy I was, when I learned that I was pregnant with you. You know, I never planned on giving birth to my children. But that all changed when I met and fell in love with your father. I knew I wanted to create children with him. When I found out that I was going to have a little girl, I thought my heart was going to burst because it was so full of love for you.I couldn’t wait for you to be born."Angelina got up and walked over where Shiloh was sitting. She sat beside her and was grateful, that Shiloh did not get up and leave. Angelina continued." When we found out you were a breech baby, I had to have a C-Section. When the Doctor told me I had a baby girl, I just wanted to hear you cry. I just wanted you to be okay. And you were. When you started to cry, it was music to my ears.""Very loud music." Brad said with a little smile on his face.Tears began to roll down Angelina’s face. "The first time I saw you, I just couldn’t believe how beautiful you were."Shiloh looked at her Mom with her red eyes and tear stained face."Really?"Angelina laughed."Yes, really.""Oh, Mommy……….." At that moment, Shiloh fell into her Mom’s waiting arms. She hugged her tight. She didn’t want to let go.Brad looked at the women who were so precious and dear to him. Angelina looked at Shiloh and gave her a kiss on each cheek. Zahara and Bella came over and sat with their Mom and sister.All of them started to hug one another. And soon, laughter followed the tears. It had been a rough ride the past couple of weeks. They were able to face the past and they were all ready to face the future.THE END.

He still had plenty of time to see Zahara, before she left for college.The Jolie Pitt Girls had enjoyed their time in St. Tropez with Brad and Angelina. The summer had been very interesting for Zahara, Shiloh, and Bella. From seeing their Father’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, to learning about their parents past, especially, Angelina’s. While they were in France, the girls asked more questions which turned into late night talk sessions. Angelina gave them more answers. She felt that she and the girls had grown much closer.They were all hanging around the pool. The family had come back to their Los Angeles home, after they got back from France. AJ was in the pool, lounging on a floating chaise lounge. He looked more amd more like Angelina each day, except for his hair: it was blonde. Brad and Angelina were surprised to see, that he had already grown two inches , since the last time they had seen him.As soon as Angelina and AJ had some time togther alone, she told him everything about her past. He was surprised and shocked just like his sisters. He asked questions and she was surprised how he handled everything, as was Brad. AJ tried very hard not to judge his Mother. It was her past. It had nothing to do with him.Zahara, Shiloh, and Bella were laying on chaise lounges around the pool. Brad and Angelina were at Brad’s PLAN B PRODUCTION office.

"Well, you were too busy, dribbling with your balls, on Tobacco Road. If you were here, you probably would of freaked out too.""She’s got a point AJ. You were too busy playing with your balls."

It’s amazing that they can joke and laugh about it now. A few weeks ago, she could not imagine laughing about this at all. Zahara looked at her brother and sisters. She was going to miss them terribly. Although she was excited to be attending STANFORD in the fall, she was going to miss the people she loved the most, her family."Zee. When did Mom and Dad say when they would be home?" Shiloh asked."Around Six? Why?" Zahara asked."Oh nothing. Just asking." Shiloh got up and walked into the house. Ten minutes later, Shiloh returned to the pool area. She had a bottle of wine and four wine glasses in her hands. "Hey guys. How about a little merlot?" Shiloh held up a wine bottle from Brad’s collection."You are so dead, when Dad finds out that a bottle is missing. He is so anal when it comes to his wine." AJ told her, shaking his head.Zahara looked at Shiloh as she sat down. "Are you crazy? Put that right back. NOW.""We really never got a chance to toast to your acceptance to STANFORD, the four of us." Shiloh said smiling."Well, were not doing it now." Zahara told her."We can get into so much trouble. I want to enjoy the rest of the summer, without being confined to my bedroom. AJ is right. You know how Daddy is about his wine collection." Bella told her."He’s not going to find out."

Zahara told her."Same thing, almost .There just not here at the moment. Come on. It’s just a little wine." Shiloh told her. She began pouring the red liquid, into the wine glasses."Mom’s not going to like this." Bella told Shiloh."Are you kidding me? All the stuff Mom did when she was our age? This is nothing." Shiloh handed each of them a glass."Alright. Let’s make a toast. To Zee." Shiloh looked at her big sister. "Congratulations! Were really going to miss you. We know that you will do, very well.

All them were feeling the effects of the alcohol."I can’t believe, that you won’t have a curfew! Your so ******* lucky!" Shiloh said laughing."I know. You’ll be able to to do anything you want, anytime time you want." Bella said. She was getting a headache. The wine and the sun was not a good combination."Guys, I’ll be in the library, 24/7. I’m a pre-med major, remember? Zahara told her sisters."I can’t wait to go to college. The parties, the girls." AJ said. He was very aware of the opposite sex. "PENN ST. Here the **** I come!""You have to graduate from high school first, AJ." Shiloh told him She took another sip of the burgundy liquid. "I’m definitely going away to school. I like GEORGETOWN. Maybe NORTHWESTERN, or YALE. They both have excellent drama departments." Shiloh refilled AJ’S glass."YALE? Like you can get into YALE?" AJ told her as he looked up at Shiloh. "Thanks.""AJ, I do have a high G.P.A." Shiloh reminded him. "And, I guess your welcome.""Yeah. You just flunk the other stuff. Your record regarding your behavior, is terrible Shi." Zahara told her.Shiloh took another sip. She sat the glass down on the tile. "It just shows that I am a very well rounded person. That I have other interest, besides academics." She explained to her siblings. She held up the second bottle of wine. "Does anyone want a refill? There’s still a little left."Zahara shook her head." No. I think I’m getting a headache.""I already have one. We shouldn’t of opened up that second bottle." Bella told them."Shi, I didn’t know that constantly being in the principals office, was an extracurricular activity?" AJ told Shiloh smiling."**** You! Shiloh told him.AJ was making his way out of the pool, when he almost lost his balance."AJ! BE CAREFUL!" Zahara told him."I’m fine. ****. don’t have a heart attack." He threw a bottle of suntan lotion at Shiloh. He began to towel himself dry." Missed me. Did you learn how to pass at all, while you were at that camp?" Shiloh teased AJ. "See, Zee, see what your going to miss when you leave?" Shiloh picked up her glass and finished her wine . "Are you scared?" She asked Zahara."Scared? Scared of what?" Zahara asked."Leaving home, going to STANFORD." Shiloh told her.Zahara closed her eyes for a second. " A little. I’m scared and excited at the same time. I mean everyone there is super smart. It’s so competitive. I’m starting all over again.""I can’t wait until we visit you." Bella told her smiling."When USC plays STANFORD, I’ll be there." AJ told her."What time is it?" Bella asked "Guys, it’s getting late." She started to gather up her things.AJ looked at his diver’s watch, a gift from Brad. "5:55pm.""****! Mom and Dad will be home soon!"

(((((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))))))PURE FICTION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLYTESTING:1,2,3…TESTING 1,2,3……CONCLUSION.Zahara, Shiloh, Bella and AJ were not aware, that their parents had been home the past fifteen minutes. When Brad and Angelina had made their way to the pool area, they were very surprised to see, how their children had spent the afternoon.The four of them had made there way to a patio table. The two empty wine bottles and glasses, were scattered about.Brad and Angelina both walked toward the table. Zahara wanted to disappear; AJ did not dare look at his father; Bella thought she was going to get sick and Shiloh was squirming in her chair. She had thought they had plenty of time to clean up everything, and to sober up a little, before they got home. ****! Brad picked up a empty wine bottle."So this is what you have been doing all day?" He was very angry, as he looked at his children."You guys know your not suppose to drink any alcohol. How many times have we told you that?" Angelina asked them. She was angry too."Last time I checked, the legal drinking age in the state of CALIFORNIA was 21." Brad told them. He shook his head."This was a $200.00 bottle of wine.""We dranked wine almost everyday, while we were in France." Shiloh tried to plead their case."That was in France. And obviously me and your Mother made a huge mistake. How are we suppose to trust you guys now? Do you need a babysitter? Do I need to put a lock on the wine cellar? And your drinking around the pool?! What would of happened if one of you had fallen in? You could of hurt yourselves. You guys put yourselves in so much danger today""Well, it depends on which one of us would have fallen in." Shiloh said.At that moment, AJ couldn’t help but laugh."It’s not funny AJ. And I don’t have to ask, who initiated this happy hour." Brad was looking directly at Shiloh. "Zahara, I expected more out of you. Your the oldest"Zahara looked at both of her parents. Her Dad was right. "Sorry, Dad. Sorry Mom." "Shiloh, You put yourself and your brother and sisters at risk, today." Brad told her."How do you know it was me?" Shiloh asked."Oh come on Shiloh? This has you written all over it. " Angelina told her with anger and fustration in her voice as she sat down.Brad proceeded to sit by Angelina. He looked at Zahara, Shiloh, Bella and AJ. He loved them more than life itself, but it was times like this, that really made him angry. "You guys are all grounded, until further notice.""What does that mean?" Shiloh asked. Her head was truly feeling like, it was going to split wide open."It means your GROUNDED! You’ll stay in your room. No going out, no visiting friends, no friends visting you." Brad explained to her. He was still angry."Wait! Were suppose to go the DODGER game tomorrow." AJ said."Not anymore." Brad told him."I have a competition on Saturday." Bella pleaded her case. She was scheduled to compete in a prestigious horse show."Well, they may just have to compete without you." Brad told her."Thanks a lot, Shiloh." AJ said with anger in his voice. He was pissed that he and Brad were going to miss the game."Oh, **** YOU! It’s not like I forced it down your throat""Both of you SHUT UP!" Brad yelled. "And as for you young lady: You watch your MOUTH! You know very well, your Mother and I don’t like you using that kind of language!""Go to your rooms, Now!" Angelina told them "And don’t come out, until we tell you too." She added."And I don’t want to hear any music or any TV. No IPOD, no video games, no movies, and no computer. Oh, I forgot. You WILL replace the two bottles of wine you dranked." Brad informed them."$200.00 a bottle? " AJ asked with disbelief in his voice."$100.00 a piece from each of us." Zahara told him.AJ looked at Shiloh." Like I said, thanks a lot."Brad and Angelina wathced as their children made their way in to the house."I think I’m going to throw up." Bella informed everyone.""Make sure you don’t make a mess, if you do." Brad told her.Brad looked at his wife. "I just don’t know, baby. Why does Shiloh do **** like this?" Brad ran his fingers through his hair."She’s testing me." Angelina told him."Testing you?" Brad asked"Yes. I think she’s seeing how much she can get away with. Maybe this is her way of dealing with my past. I feel like she’s challenging me, in some way. Today was a couple of bottles of wine. What is it going to be tomorrow? Brad, I see a lot of me in her. We are so much a like, and it scares me, sometimes" Angelina confessed to Brad as she continued on."We never had to worry about Maddox or Zahara. Bella and AJ are just like you. But Shiloh, she’s me.""We just got spoiled with Maddox and Zahara. They rarely gave us any trouble. All parents go through this, one way or another.""Well, I guess it’s payback time. All the **** I put Mom through." Angelina said "Oh, Shiloh!" she said out loud."I wasn’t exactly a chior boy growing up." Brad said."You, weren’t huh?" Angelina asked smiling."No I wasn’t. Baby, I know Shiloh can be a handful sometimes. But you know what?""What?" Angelina asked."I wouldn’t want her any other way. Just as I’m sure that, Marcheline felt the same way about you." Brad told her."Well, when we concieved Shiloh, I think we broke the mold." Angelina said smiling."Oh, I know we did. Were just going to have to try harder, when it comes to her. Every family has one child, that tests their limits. Our’s happens to be Shiloh." Brad told Angelina." Your right. Let’s get this table cleaned up and then we can go and check up on them. I have a feeling that Bella isn’t the only one, throwing up right now." Angelina said laughing."Your probably right." Brad said laughing, too. "I love you.""I love you too, baby."

(((((((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))))PURE FICTION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLYIT’S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYETO YESTERDAY……..Brad Pitt walked slowly down the upstairs hallway, of his Los Angeles home. It was a little after two in the morning. The house was still and very quiet.. As Brad did everynight, he made the rounds in his family’s home, to make sure all the doors and windows were locked and the alarm, was correctly set. He was about to go back to the bed that he shared with Angelina Jolie Pitt, when he saw a faint light, coming from downstairs. I thought I turned off all the lights. He thought to himself.Brad made his way down the winding staircase. He saw that the light was coming from the huge kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, he saw his oldest daughter Zahara Jolie Pitt, sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a glass of milk."Zee, What are you doing down here?" Brad asked.Zahara jumped and turned around. "Daddy, You scared me!" She said in a startled voice. She thought she was the only one up, this hour."I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you." Brad apologized. "What are you doing up?" He went to the refrigerator, where he got a bottle of water.Zahara looked at her Dad. "I guess I’m a little too wound up, to sleep right now.""Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Brad glanced at the kitchen clock as he sat down at the table with her." Or should I say later today?"Zahara was leaving for college. Brad, Angelina, Shiloh, Bella, and AJ, were all flying to Palo Alto on their private plane, to drop Zahara off at STANFORD. The Jolie Pitts were going to spend a few days also, in San Francisco."Maybe a little. It’s certainly not high school anymore. It’s a big campus. A lot of smart people go there.""And, they are getting one more." Brad told her as he walked back to the refrigerator."I don’t know about that." Zahara said. She took another sip of her milk."I do." Brad was looking in the freezer for something. "So, how about it? Rum Raisin? Rocky Road? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough? Vanilla? What kind of ice cream do you want?""Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough." Zahara decided.Brad got two bowls out of one of the cabinets. He got two spoons and the scooper, out of one the drawers. He began to scoop out the ice cream."You know Princess, It’s still not too late to change your mind. You can still go to USC or UCLA, You would be closer to home." Brad told her. He sat a bowl of ice cream in front of Zahara."Thanks Daddy. But I’m going to STANFORD." She said smiling."I know. I just thought I would try one more time." Brad was still dealing with his own issues, with Zahara going away to college. He was going to miss her terribly. He couldn’t believe his little girl, his princess, was all grown up."It’s going to be weird not having Shiloh borrow my clothes, or AJ asking me to help him with his math, or Bella, falling asleep at the foot of my bed, after watching a movie." I’m going to miss them.""You could do your Mother and I a favor and take Shiloh with you." Brad said jokingly.Zahara took a bite of her ice cream. "Sorry Daddy, I can’t help you and Mom with that one." she said smiling.Brad looked at his daughter. He’ll never forget the first time he saw her in that Ethiopian orphanage, eighteen years ago. "I’m so proud of you. You have grown into a beautigul, smart, intelligent, young woman." Brad said with pride in his voice."Oh, Daddy. Your going to make me cry. I promised myself, I wouldn’t do that, until after all of you guys leave.""Well, I don’t want you to do that. I’m just remembering the first time time I saw you.Your huge brown eyes, your beautiful little face. You were so little." Brad took a bite of his ice cream. He was remembering that July day, so many years ago. "When Mom, Mad and Me, picked you up from Africa, you guys went on to New York. I had some business here, in Los Angeles. That’s when we found out that you were dehydrated, malnourished, you had ricketts, and you were also suffering from a salmonella infection. ""Jeeze. I was a messed up little thing huh?" Zahara asked laughing. They could joke about it now."I wouldn’t exactly say messed up. You did scare the **** out of me and your Mom. We also tested you for the HIV/AIDS VIRUS. We were prepared if you tested positive. We were so GRATEFUL, that you didn’t. You know, your Mom and I weren’t married yet, I had urgent business LA. I was going to meet you guys in New York, but I was diagnosed with Viral Meningitis."Brad explained."Really?" This was the first time Zahara ever heard about this. "Was it bad?""No. It was a mild case, but I did have to be hospitalized. I couldn’t see you right away. Your Mother must have called me every hour, while we were separated, updating me on your condition. I felt like such a ****, that I wasn’t there for you, your Mom and your brother." Brad could still remember vividly, those awful days, when he could not get to the people that he loved the most."We were in the hospital at the same time?" Zahara asked. She was finding all this information, so interesting."Yeah. Both of us the same time. You in New York, me in LA. When you were finally released, you guys flew here. That is when your Mother, Maddox and you came to live with me, in the Malibu House. You, know, that was really the first time, all of us were living together as a family. And you know what?""What?" Zahara asked eagerly."We’ve been living together ever since." Brad said smiling. He still can remember that first night. Maddox had been so excited. Brad must of checked on Zahara a hundred times, just to make sure she was okay. He can still remember Angie teasing him."Your Mom had already had Maddox when I met her. When we found out that we had a little girl, I was so happy. Zee, when your brothers and sisters were born, those were some of the happiest days of my life. But when I found out, I had a little girl, waiting for me, half way around the world? The feeling was so amazing. I can’t desribe it, even after all these years. The first time I held you in my arms, I cried. Just like I did with your brothers and sisters. You were my little princess." Brad said softly. "I guess that’s why, I having a hard time with you leaving. I’m having a hard time, saying goodbye."Zahara had tears in her eyes. She wiped them. "I love you Daddy.""I love you too. I’m going to miss you like crazy. ""I’m going to miss you too."Brad had tears in his eyes too. "Okay. Enough of this. Mom and I, have set up a personal account for you, at the campus bank. If you need more, just lets us know." Brad told her."Daddy, It’s me? Remember? Not Shiloh?" Zahara said laughing. "I’m sure it’s more than enough. Thank you."Brad looked at his daughter. Images of her growing up, were racing through his mind. "If you need anything, call. Okay?"Zahara said in a small voice." Okay.""If you don’t need anything, You still better call!" Brad said laughing.Zahara laughed back."Don’t worry Daddy. You guys aren’t getting rid of me, that easy."Brad glanced at the kitchen clock. They had been talking for almost two hours. "You better get back to bed. Eveyone is going to be up, in a few hours.""Okay. You know Shiloh asked me a few weeks ago, If I was scared about leaving home." Zahara told her father."What did you tell her?" Brad asked with curiosity in his voice.Zahara thought for a moment. "I told her I wasn’t really scared about going to STANFORD. The part that really scared me, was not seeing you guys everyday. Saying goodbye, to all the yesterdays."Brad got up and gave his daughter a hug. "Night Princess, or I should say, Good Morning." Brad said smiling.Zahara laughed. "Good Morning, and thank you."Brad pulled away and looked at Zahara’s huge brown eyes. "For what?""For being my Daddy."Brad and Zahara had no idea, that Angelina was standing in the other door way: Watching, Listening and Crying.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that morning after having breakfast with her family, Zahara was in her room. She was gathering up some of her personal things, like her backpack and her GUCCI tote bag. She looked around her room; All the momentos, the keepsakes, her achievements, pictures of her friends and of course, her family. She looked at the huge mural on her wall. It was a African Safari at sunset. Zebras, Lions, Giraffes, and other animals, roamed in their natural habitat. When the Jolie Pitts bought this house, they had it renovated. Angelina had an artist come in to paint a mural in each one of her chlidren’s bedrooms. Maddox’s at first, was dinosaurs. That changed when got he older, to drawings of his favorite buildings, throughout the world. Zahara’s was an African Safari at sunset. Shiloh’s was a Parisan Street with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Bella’s was a meadow with horses grazing. AJ’S was a father and son playing catch, in DODGER STADIUM. Tobias’s was sea life.Zahara looked around one last time. She double checked to see if she had Raffles. Raffles was a baby stuffed giraffe that Brad had given her when she was a baby. He was going to STANFORD too. Zahara sat on the foot of her bed. She remembered a qoute from Helen Keller. She did a report on her for school, last semester:WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER ONE OPENS.Zahara was ready to close this door, this part of her life, even the yesterdays, however hard it may be. She was ready for the new door, the one that would open, to the next stage of her life.

((((((((((((((((FANFIC ALERT)))))))))PURE FICTION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLYOUT OF THE BLUE.The past several weeks had been quite hectic for the Jolie Pitts. Brad and Angelina had dropped off their oldest daughter, Zahara Jolie Pitt at STANFORD, spent a few days in San Francisco with their other children; Shiloh, twins Bella and AJ, and Maddox, who sucessfully finished his internship at a Chicago Architectual Firm.On the heels of Zahara starting her freshman year at STANFORD, the younger Jolie Pitt children, started their fall term at their respective schools. Shiloh was now a junior at her private high school. Bella and AJ, were entering their last year at their private middle school.Maddox still had a couple of weeks before his semester of classes at GEORGETOWN started. He decided to spend a few days back home with his family. He missed his brother and sisters. Maddox was also glad that he was able to spend some time with Zee. He knew that this was a special,exciting and a bit scary, time for her. He remembered when he left home for college.It seemed like that the last several weeks had been hectic, busy and at times, exhausting, for Angelina Jolie Pitt. She sometimes forgot how much energy and time, it took to keep up with four very active teenagers. She was sitting at her desk in her office, late one afternoon going over her schedule for the next month. She had a UN trip to Washington.She had been offered a great film role, and she was debating whether or not to accept it. She glanced at a photograph of Zahara on her desk, one of the many photographs she had of her children, on her desk and throughout her office. She missed Zahara terribly. The house just wasn’t the same without her. Angelina had already sent her a care package of some of her favorite things, and she had already e-mailed her twice that day.She looked at the security monitor, and noticed that Maddox, Shiloh, Bella and AJ were home. Maddox had volunteered to pick up his brother and sisters from school. Angelina was a bit relieved. She was feeling a little tired that afternoon.Angelina followed the noise and chatter coming out of the kitchen. She joined Shiloh and Bella. Both girls were in deep conversation. Shiloh was complaining about all the homework she had. Bella hated her new English teacher."Hey Guys." Angelina walked over toward her daughters. She gave each of them a kiss on the cheek. "How was school today?""How many more days until Thankgsgiving?" Shiloh asked her Mom."That bad huh?" Angelina looked at Shiloh smiling."I’m with Shi on this one, Mom. I hate my English teacher. We never get to say anything about the books we read, if we like them or not. She never asks for our opinion." Bella expalined. She went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water." Mom, Shi? Do you guys want anything""No baby, I’m fine." Angelina told her."I’m good." Shiloh told her."Bella?" Angelina asked.Bella was opening her water. "Yes, Mom?""Remember, Hate is a very strong word." Angelina reminded her."I know. It’s just so fustrating and the school year has just started, too." Bella complained.Maddox and AJ came into the kitchen carrying takeout. They set the bags on the island, counter. "Hey Mom. I hope you didn’t plan on cooking anything for dinner. I have a huge craving for Mexican food." Maddox told her, laughing.Since Brad was in Vancouver, scouting locations for his next film, Angelina didn’t really have any special plans."No. I didn’t have anything special planned." Angelina said smiling. She really didn’t feel very much like cooking."You guys do not understand. You cannot get Mexican food like this, in DC." Maddox explained with a smile on his face."I know what you mean Mad. North Carolina is the same way. I couldn’t get my Carne Asada burrito fix, at all while I was down there." AJ said.Bella and Shiloh gathered around their brothers."Bean and Cheese Burrito, Three Rolled Tacos with Sour Cream?" Maddox called out."That’s me." Bella said smiling as she grabbed her food."Carne Asada Burrito, Three Rolled Tacos with Guacamole?" Maddox called out again."Over here." Shiloh said. "Where’s the salsa?""In that bag over there. "AJ pointed to a bag on the counter."Let’s see." Maddox continued on." Carne Asada Burrito, Quesedilla, Three Rolled Tacos with Guacamole and Sour Cream.? AJ, I think this is yours.""Thanks Mad." AJ said smiling. He was growing so fast these days. ."You are such a pig, AJ." Shiloh told him"I’m a growing boy." AJ explained."Yeah. I bet you wish other parts of your body were growing fast". Shiloh said smiling at her younger brother."You are so dead. At least my boobs are bigger than yours." AJ said laughing."Guys, Cool it." Angelina said to both AJ and Shiloh. "Lets’ have a G rated dinner please." Angelina said with a little smile on her face."Mom, I got your favorite, Carne Asada Fries." Maddox told Angelina."Thanks, Madness." Angelina had earlier grabbed some plates and extra napkins."Shiloh, honey. There’s some plates and extra napkins, I sat beside you. Can you bring those to the table please?" Angelina asked."Sure Mom." Shiloh said as she punched AJ in the arm.Angelina opened the styrofoam container and looked at the food staring right back at her. She suddenly lost her appetite and she began to feel very nauseated.TO BE CONT…..

Talking to him had always made her feel better. He told her everyhting was going well in Vancouver. Brad had found a couple of locations, that would fit perfectly in his new film he was producing. He also told Angelina, that he would make overnight stop in Palo Alto. Brad was going to have dinner with Zee, spend the night in Palo Alto, and then fly home, the following morning. Angelina was glad that he would be home in a couple of days. She missed him.She had already checked on the children. Bella and AJ had gone to bed. Shiloh was still up, doing her homework. Maddox had gone out. He was meeting up with some old friends. They had planned on going to some hot new club, Angelina remembered him saying to her.Angelina was sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for the water to boil. She was making herself a cup of tea. She kept thinking about what had happened at dinner. She hoped she was not coming down with anything. She didn’t have time to be sick. The tea kettle whistling interrupted her thoughts. She got up and poured the hot steaming water into a coffee mug and then proceeded to go to her office.When she entered her office, she turned on the desk lamp. She wanted to double check the date, she was due in Washington. She was looking over her schedule and then it suddenly hit her: "OH ****!" She said out loud. Angelina clicked on the calender icon and began to backtrack. She looked, she thought, she scanned, and she calculated ."This can’t be right" She said in a small whisper.It had been almost two months since she had her last period. Then things started to add up:The exhaustion she had been suffering.The nausea at dinner. The other morning she almost got sick, after catching a whiff of coffee Maddox was brewing. While she was in the shower, she noticed that her breast had been very tender. Angelina looked at her calender one more time. St. Tropez. She did not have a period at all while they were in France. Brad wanted to fly to Monte Carlo, for one night just the two of them without the children, but she complained her stomach was too queasy. She didn’t feel like flying in a small airplane. Angelina leaned back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest."How could I be so stupid?" She said out loud.Angelina knew exactly what was wrong with her.TO BE CONT

The house was pretty quiet. He glanced at his TAG HEUER watch, the kids were still in school, he thought to himself. He spoke to Angelina as soon as he landed. She told him, she would be out and about with errands and appointments and she would see him later.His trip to Vancouver had been very successful. He found the locations he was looking for. Brad was also glad that he was able to spend some time with Zee. They had a very nice dinner on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. Zahara Jolie Pitt, had adapted very well to college life. She was enjoying the start of her freshman year, very much.Brad was going through the mail and walking through the house. He made his way to the family room, that’s where he saw Maddox. Maddox was using his laptop and watching ESPNNEWS on the flat screen TV."Hey, Mad! I didn’t think anyone was home." Brad said smiling." Hey Dad, Welcome Home." Maddox got up and gave his father a hug. "How was Vancouver?""Good, good. How were things here while I was gone?" Brad asked."Fine, pretty normal. Mom’s been busy. How was Zee?" Maddox asked as he sat back down."She’s doing fantasic. She sends you her love. I know about your Mom being busy." Brad said as he sat down
