The Kitchen, Sonny and Lois' Penthouse: Sonny(is bending over the refrigerator looking through the contents as Brenda enters. She trails a finger down the middle of his back and he turns around to her)Brenda, what do you think you're doing? Brenda:Hey, baby, I see you worked up quite an appetite.(she trails a finger down the middled of his chest) Sonny:(catches her hand and holds it away from him)Brenda, don't! Brenda:What's wrong, baby? Sonny:What are you doing down here dressed like that?(he motions to the skimpy teddy she's wearing) Brenda:You always used to like it when I dressed like this for you. Sonny:Brenda, those days are gone. I'm married now to Lois, who may I remind you is pregnant with my child and waiting upstairs in bed for me. Brenda:Sonny, I just came down her for something to eat. I'm sorry if you're getting the wrong idea. Sonny:Brenda, Lois and I want to help you get back on your feet, again, and to get on with your life. We want to be your friend. That's why were letting you stay with us. But maybe it's time you thought about getting a place of your own. Brenda:You're throwing me out? How dare you! If you and Lois had been honest with me, I'd never have left Jax. Jax and I would still be happy, instead of him being with V, now. Sonny:Look, I'm to blame for a lot of things, but not for the fact Jax and V are getting married. There must have been something wrong with your relationship long before I returned to town. Otherwise he'd had never had an affair with V and got her pregnant. Brenda(throws herself in Sonny's arms)Sonny, please don't make me leave. I can't stand to be alone. Sonny(holds her away from him)Fine, you can stay. But if you think that's something's going to happen between up because the two of us living under the same roof, you can think again, because it's not going to happen. Do I make myself clear.(he heads back up to Lois) Wyndemere: Stefan:I'm glad to see you've gotten over your hysteria, Barbara. Bobbie:What did you do with Katherine? Stefan:I had her escorted back to the mainland. Bobbie:Do you think she's really pregnant. Stefan:It's not a possibility. After Nikolas was born, I had no need for any other child in my life and I had a vasectomy performed on, myself. Bobbie:Oh, how touching. You had the old snip-snip after your precious Lasha birthed a baby. Stefan:Did you tell Jacks' he could be Miss Roberts' father? Bobbie:Yes and he was thrilled about it. The paternity test if scheduled for tomorrow at GH, by the way. Stefan;Obviously, he isn't as well acquainted with your spawn of the devil as I am. Bobbie:Well, he soon will be. When I left Jerry he was on his way over to see Carly to as he put it, get to know his daughter. Jason's Penthouse: Carly(opens the door to Jerry)Mr. Jacks, what can I do for you. Jerry:Bobbie told me, Carly. Carly:You? You're my father? Jerry;One of two possibilites so Bobbie tells me. May I come in? Carly:Oh, sure. What can I do for you. Jerry:This is a bit strange. I never thought of being someone's father. I'm not sure how I should behave with you. Carly:That makes two of us. Jerry:I thought I'd come over here so we could get to know each other. See what he have in common and what we don't. Would you like to have dinner with me so we can become better acquainted. Carly(smiles)I'd like that. Jax's Penthouse: V(opens the door to Faison)Mr. Faison, what do you want? I think we said all there was to say. Faison(staring strangely at V)May I come in. V:If you insist, but it isn't going to change my mind. I'm sorry, but the things you want me to do are just too weird for me.(she tries to look away from his strange piercing eyes because the intensity of their stare is starting to make her uncomfortable but finds that she can't.) Faison(voice takes on a soothing tone)My dear, Venus, I know you better than you know, yourself. All I have to do is look into your eyes to see straight into your soul. I know what you truly want. You crave excitment. You crave danger. You are the living embodiment of Davnee. V:(staring trancelike)I'm Davnee. Faison:You don't want to quit working for me. In fact, you want to spend as much time with me as possible. You'll forget you ever thought of quitting you job as if it never happened. V:I'll forget. Faison:In fact, you won't even remember this conversation. It'll be like it never happened. V:I won't remember. Faison(takes her hand and kisses it)Destiny is ours, Davnee. V:Destiny is ours. Faison:When I close the door behind me you won't remember that I was here and you'll go back to doing what you were doing before I knocked.(he closes the door behind him and just like someone snapped off a light switch, V snaps out of the trance) V:(stares around the room)What was I going to do? Oh, now I remember. Jax wants me to make up a guest list for our wedding. Where is my head, today. Sonny and Lois' Bedroom: Lois(as Sonny enters)I thought you went to get something to eat. Sonny:I couldn't find anything I liked.(he sits down on the bed)Cerullo, I've been thinking. Maybe it's time Brenda moved out. Lois:Why? I like having Brenda here. It's just like old times. Sonny:But is it good for her. Is living here with us helping her to pick up the pieces of her life. Cerullo, everytime something goes wrong in her life she latches on to someone to take care of her so she won't have to be alone. First it was Miguel, then it was Jax and now it's us. It's an unhealthy pattern she needs to break. Lois:Sonny, I can't tell Brenda to get out, especially after what we did to her. It's partly our fault that she left Jax. Sonny:That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting we help her to become an independant person. We could start by getting her an apartment in this building. That way she'd be living on her own, but we'd be close by in case she needed us for anything. Lois:Sonny, I just don't know. Sonny:Just think about it, all right? Brenda's Bedroom: Lily(smirks at Brenda as she enters)It didn't work, did it? I told you so. Brenda:I know I can wear him down just like... Lily:Just like when he was married to me? Things are a little bit different this time around. Sonny didn't marry Lois to save himself from prison and he's in love with her. Face it, there's only one way you're going to get Sonny back and that's if you do exactly as I've suggested. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
