APL Manhattan Miami, office, 2pm
Scott: *typing on laptop*
Amy: *walks in* I did it.
Scott: *lifts eyes*
Amy: I broke up with him. *sits in chair*
Scott: How does everyone else need an appointment but you always manage to walk right in?
Amy: Why, are you doing something important? I can come back later.
Scott: No no, it's fine. I was actually about to go on my lunch break.
Amy: *looks at watch* Now?
Scott: Care to join me in the break room?
Amy: *smiles* Certainly.
Break room
Amy: *steps in*
Scott: *looks around*
Donna: ACK! *waves smoke away* Sorry! I know it smells awful, I burned my lunch in the microwave. *throws package into sink*
Scott: *walks over* You always use this microwave.
Donna: I know but I got distracted, there's this new trader that transferred and-
Scott: *smirks*
Donna: - well we've been talking and he left to go get his lunch and I got to thinkin' about our conversation and that's when I forgot I had food in there and-
Scott: It's okay, Donna.
Donna: *nods*
Scott: But next time, try to be a little more attentive.
Donna: I will, sir. *waves at smoke* Whew.
Scott: *coughs*
Donna: Sorry, I know it's bad.
Scott: *leans against counter, coughing*
Amy: *looks at Scott*
Donna: Should I get you a glass of water or something?
Scott: *coughing*
Amy: *places hand on Scott's back*
Donna: That doesn't sound too healthy.
Scott: *clears throat, coughs*
Donna: *hands over glass* Here, have some water.
Scott: *grabs glass, drinks*
Amy: *stares at Scott*
Scott: *looks at Amy*
Amy: *lowers eyes*
Donna: Who are you, anyway?
Amy: *smiles* Amy Walker. I'm friends with Scott.
Donna: Oh neat. I didn't realize he had friends outside of work.
Amy: Well, we sort of met while we were at work so maybe it counts.
Donna: You okay, Mister Finch?
Scott: *gives thumbs up, drinks water*
Donna: It was nice to meet you, Amy but I've got to go get myself another lunch.
Amy: *nods*
Donna: *walks away*
Amy: *looks at Scott* Hey, you alright?
Scott: I'm fine.
Amy: That didn't sound fine.
Scott: It happens. I'm just a little sensitive around smoke.
Amy: Maybe you should go to a doctor.
Scott: *places cup on counter* No.
Amy: Why?
Scott: Because I'm fine.
Amy: *shakes head*
Scott: It's not a big deal.
Amy: Scott, don't put this off.
Bob: *walks in* AH! There he is! Just the man I was looking for.
Scott: *looks at Bob, smiles* Hey! What the hell are you doing here?
Bob: *grabs Scott's hand, shakes it* Thought I'd try chasing some tanned girls for a change.
Scott: *laughs* I didn't realize you were attending the conference this year.
Bob: I wasn't, at least not until I heard it was in Miami this year and I fully intend to reap the benefits of The Sunshine State. *looks at Amy* Oooh, who's this?
Scott: Amy Walker, she's a friend.
Amy: *smirks* Hey.
Bob: Mm, Miami.
Amy: I'm from Staten Island.
Bob: *blinks* Scotty, why do you do this to me? I come here to find some bona fide Miami gals and the first one I lay eyes on is from New York.
Scott: Just your luck, I guess.
Bob: It's depressing.
Amy: *lifts hand* Yeah, hi, still here.
Bob: You don't work for APL, do you?
Amy: I work for a law firm downtown. I'm just visiting.
Bob: You should tag along with us tonight on the town. Scott's nickel.
Scott: Uh, actually I have plans tonight. Family dinner thing.
Bob: In-laws, huh. Ouch. Just send me an SOS if things go south and I'll rescue you.
Scott: No need. My in-laws are quite pleasant to be around most of the time.
Bob: *looks at Amy* This guy here manages to dodge life's little annoying bullets every time.
Amy: *smiles*
Bob: *slaps Scott on the back* I'll see you around at the conference tomorrow then.
Scott: *nods*
Bob: *walks away*
Amy: Interesting fellow.
Scott: He's a good guy.
Amy: *looks around*
Scott: *staring at Amy*
Amy: *looks at Scott* EW! *slaps Scott*
Scott: *smiles*
Amy: There's no way in Hell I'm going out with him. I prefer men who think with their upstairs brains.
Scott: ...And you went for Tom?
Amy: That's totally different.
Scott: *crosses arms*
Amy: ...*kicks at floor* He's very pretty.
Scott: *laughs*
Amy: *rolls eyes* Fine, so I don't always think with my upstairs brain either. Don't tell me you're any better.
Scott: I'm not.
Amy: Oooh. So what'd you think when you first met me?
Scott: *stares blankly*
Amy: Fine, how about when we met back up?
Scott: *lifts brow* I'm married.
Amy: Yeah, not dead. You can still look.
Scott: Okay, I thought you were...polite. Professional, too.
Amy: Geez, this is heartbreaking. Alright, let's try a simpler one. What did you first think about Lori when you met her?
Scott: *smiles*
Amy: A-HA! Dish the details. *sits on couch*
Scott: *sits* Well, she was obviously very attractive...she was impatient, hard-headed, sardonic at times and untrusting.
Amy: Wow. She must have been really lovable.
Scott: *smirks* She was to me.
Amy: *shakes head* You don't bat an eye at any another woman, do you.
Scott: Not often.
Amy: You're alright, Finch. I have to admit, I had some reservations about you when we caught up with each other again.
Scott: Oh?
Amy: People kept telling me you were really this nice. You don't see that a lot these days.
Scott: ...Wait, you actually went looking for me?
Amy: *squints* ...Yeah.
Scott: *lifts brows*
Amy: After we got outside, there wasn't really much time to exchange numbers or thank yous. I wanted to find the man that saved my life. Look him in the face again. I never forgot your name, I was just always too nervous to look you up.
Scott: *nods*
Amy: I mean, I didn't want to drag up unpleasant memories and I don't know, I was sort of an inconvenience from the get-go anyway.
Scott: Inconvenience.
Amy: I made you stay. I made you put your own safety aside so I would live.
Scott: You didn't make me do anything. That's what it is to be a human being.
Amy: Not everyone would have helped me.
Scott: I almost didn't.
Amy: *wraps arm around Scott's neck, hugs him*
Scott: *places hand on Amy's back*
Amy: I appreciate what you did for me.
Scott: I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Amy: *looks at Scott*
Scott: *stares at Amy*
Amy: *places hand on Scott's cheek, leans closer*
Scott: *grabs Amy's hand* I need to get back to work.
Amy: I thought you were on your lunch break.
Scott: You should go.
Amy: *sigh*
Scott: Please.
Amy: *stands*
Scott: *lifts head*
Amy: *nods, leaves*
Scott: *runs hand through hair*

Whoa... was that Amy trying to make a play for Scotty? Did anyone tell her that he's married to Lori Speedle? Somone might want to jot a memo for her...I think I just may do that!
Memo to Amy:
If you relish breathing without the assistance of a ventilator, love to skip in the green grass of the park, adore seeing the bright vibrant colors of the world around you, feel you heart beating as you run through the valley... I'd warn you to STOP right there. Take your hand away from Scott's cheek...STOP STARING at him....and for god sakes, forget you ever met him... BUT if you give a rat's ass about breathing, walking/running, seeing and all the other stuff we need to live a life, go right ahead, kiss him even. Meet your maker real fast and quick like. Amy meet Lori...your demise extraordinaire.
LOL...yeah, I'm just insane...Really...
Awesome update!
PS. Hot head Scotty needs to get checked out- of course we know he won't ....but still...

See I told you that she had feeling for him still! I knew it! I really think Scott has a little tinnie tiny something for her, but then the Lori alarm starts going off inside his brain and he steps away from her like the good little husband he is!
Oh boy! dinner with the in-laws ! I guess Speed will be giving his heart felt congradulations to Scott and Lori on the inpending arrival of the newest member of the Finch household!
NOT!!!
I'm sure he will have something snide and condensending to say about it! I think he just doesn't like being a granpa ! Maybe it makes him feel old. I really don't think its all about Lori. Maybe he needs to have a Man to Man talk with Scott over a few beers about it! Maybe he would feel better! Make him feel young again hangin out with his bud Scott! Hes been gone for a while they need to rekindle there Bromance! they haven't gottin drunk together in a while!
Great Update Geni !

Great update!

Gables Estates, house, kitchen, 7pm
Scott: *tossing salad*
Speed: *opens fridge* Everyone's in the living room going baby crazy. I thought I'd reclaim my sanity here.
Scott: *smiles, dumps salad into bowl*
Speed: Where'd Lori run off to?
Scott: She had a doctor's appointment that ran late, she should be back within the hour.
Speed: *nods*
Scott: Did Lori tell you?
Speed: Yeah.
Scott: What do you think?
Speed: I'm...cautiously optomistic.
Scott: *smiles*
Speed: Is that funny to you?
Scott: Expected.
Speed: *nods*
Downtown Miami, street
Lori: *walks out of office*
Guy: *running*
Lori: *stops*
Tom: HEY!
Lori: *looks at Tom*
Tom: *grabs Guy, shoves him against wall*
Guy: AH! AH!
Tom: I was only questioning you, not arresting you! And guess what, now you're being arrested.
Guy: I didn't do nothing!
Tom: How about making me run 3 blocks? That's something. Now, I usually only ask this of women but spread your legs for me.
Guy: *rolls eyes*
Lori: *smirks*
Tom: You got anything that's going to stick me?
Guy: No.
Tom: No? *pulls out syringe* What's this?
Guy: I'm diabetic.
Tom: What, your body doesn't produce enough heroin? That's a new one.
Guy: It's not heroin.
Tom: It's heroin. Just like this baggie here in your other pocket.
Guy: How would you know? You haven't tested it.
Tom: My eyes work perfectly fine.
Guy: You gotta test it or you can't take me to jail.
Tom: *opens bag, sniffs* It's heroin.
Guy: How can you tell?
Tom: Smells like vinegar.
Guy: So?
Tom: So acetic acid is a byproduct of the process that's used to convert morphine to heroin. Let's not get into the rest of the science lesson, I'm too tired and you're too stupid.
Lori: *stares at Tom*
Cop: *walks over*
Tom: Take him to the PD.
Cop: *grabs Guy, walks away*
Tom: *turns around*
Lori: Evenin'.
Tom: *looks at Lori*
Lori: Working late?
Tom: Apparently this is a 24/7 job. What are you doing down here?
Lori: I had a doctor's appointment.
Tom: Nothing too serious I hope.
Lori: *smiles* No.
Tom: Good.
Lori: It's nice to see you.
Tom: You too.
Lori: I'd better get home. *grabs for door*
Tom: *grabs door handle, opens it*
Lori: *looks at Tom* Thanks. *gets into truck*
Tom: *closes door*
Truck speeds away
Tom: *stares at truck*

I can see that Tom and Lori will never get enough of each other. As sweet as that was, we still see that there's something brewing between them- well, maybe not brewing per se, but there is potential. *sigh* I just hope that things stay in tact.
Aww...Speed and Scotty were bonding again..How sweet...now if we could just get Daddy Speedle in there with Brooklyn, everything will be just fine.
Awesome update!

Gables Estates, dinner table, 8pm
Steph: I want juice.
Lori: You just had juice. Eat your vegetables.
Steph: I don't want veggies.
Scott: *dumps vegetables onto plate*
Steph: *looks at Scott*
Scott: *eats carrots*
Steph: *looks down at plate, grabs fork*
Lori: *stares at Steph*
Steph: *eats vegetables*
Katie: How was your doctor's appointment?
Speed: Katie.
Katie: What?
Speed: Not at the dinner table.
Katie: It's not like I'm asking what he prodded her with and for how long.
Lori: My appointment was fine. So far everyone's healthy.
Anni: *smiles* Are you excited?
Lori: *smirks* Nervous would be another way to put it.
Anni: Oh I'm sure everything will be fine.
Katie: You should have seen what happened the last time she went into labor. Poor Josh didn't have any fingers or eardrums left.
Lori: I wasn't that bad.
Katie: And where the hell was Scott?
Scott: *lifts eyes*
Katie: Missed your own daughter's birth.
Lori: Mother.
Katie: Well it's true. He was off partying in the Big Apple and you were stuck in a hospital for 12 hours.
Lori: It wasn't 12 hours and could you be any more of a bitch?
Speed: Lori...
Lori: *frowns*
Scott: *lifts hand* Uh, in my defense, I didn't know Lori was pregnant and I don't party.
Katie: You must have been pissed when you found out. Now you're stuck with life's little accidents.
Lori: *covers Steph's ears* Our daughter was not an accident!
Katie: You mean Scott intended to knock you up?
Lori: Can we just drop it and talk about something else?
Katie: Sure. Is Scotty a mean drunk or a nice drunk?
Lori: *glares* He is not a drunk.
Katie: Your father sure drank a lot more when you were around.
Anni: Katie, that's enough.
Katie: She told me to change the subject so I changed the subject. *looks at Scott* Have you knocked her on her ass yet?
Scott: Excuse me?
Katie: I'm sure you have a mean left hook. Lori deserves a few punches to the face now and again. Although it probably turns her pages more than anything.
Lori: *covers eyes*
Anni: Was that really necessary?
Steph: Momma hurted Daddy.
Everyone: *looks at Steph*
Lori: *lifts eyes*
Steph: *chews vegetables*
Katie: WHOA WHOA WHOA. Wait a second. LORI's a wife beater? Or, whatever we want to call it here?
Scott: It's nothing. We had an argument, that's all. I wasn't hurt.
Katie: Typical victim. I'll tell you something, Scott. First it's a punch, the next time it'll be a knife in your gut. Or a bullet in your brain. Violence is all she knows, don't turn your back on her.
Scott: *stares at Katie*
Katie: They never change, either. And I'm sure once she's finished having fun playing house, she'll go right back to being a crack whore.
Scott: *stands*
Speed: *grabs Scott's arm*
Scott: *sits*
Anni: Lori, ignore her. She's just redirecting her stupidity because she promised not to do it to your father.
Katie: Don't get me wrong, she's accomplished a lot and I'm proud of that but the simple truth is a leopard doesn't change its spots. At least not for very long. What we're doing is watching a time bomb, it's only a matter of time. She's showing that now, throwing her fists his way.
Lori: I reacted badly. That doesn't mean I'll make a habit of it and it certainly doesn't mean I'm just 'playing house'.
Katie: You make a habit out of everything, Lori.
Lori: *looks down at plate, picks at food*
Katie: Remember when you were 16 and your father found you passed out in the shower on downers?
Scott: ENOUGH!
Everyone: *looks at Scott*
Scott: GET OUT!
Katie: What?
Scott: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! NOW!
Katie: You can't kick me out.
Scott: *stands, pushes chair in* Remove yourself from my home or I'll remove you.
Katie: Oh stop being silly and sit down.
Scott: *walks around table*
Katie: ACK! I'm leaving, I'm leaving. *stands, runs*
Scott: *walks over to chair, sits*
Baby is heard crying
Anni: *stands*
Speed: I'll get her. *stands, leaves*
Anni: ...Feel free. *sits*
Lori: Excuse me. I'll be right back. *stands, walks away*
Anni: ...Just us chickens.
Steph: *giggles*
Anni: *smiles* Hey! Look at that, I made her laugh. Point for me!

Steph: *looks at Scott*
Scott: *eats carrots*
Steph: *looks down at plate, grabs fork*
Lori: *stares at Steph*
Steph: *eats vegetables*
Katie: How was your doctor's appointment?
Speed: Katie.
Katie: What?
Speed: Not at the dinner table.
Katie: It's not like I'm asking what he prodded her with and for how long.
Lori: My appointment was fine. So far everyone's healthy.
Anni: *smiles* Are you excited?
Lori: *smirks* Nervous would be another way to put it.
Anni: Oh I'm sure everything will be fine.
Katie: You should have seen what happened the last time she went into labor. Poor Josh didn't have any fingers or eardrums left.
Lori: I wasn't that bad.
Katie: And where the hell was Scott?
Scott: *lifts eyes*
Katie: Missed your own daughter's birth.
Lori: Mother.
Katie: Well it's true. He was off partying in the Big Apple and you were stuck in a hospital for 12 hours.
Lori: It wasn't 12 hours and could you be any more of a bitch?
Speed: Lori...
Lori: *frowns*
Scott: *lifts hand* Uh, in my defense, I didn't know Lori was pregnant and I don't party.
Katie: You must have been pissed when you found out. Now you're stuck with life's little accidents.
Lori: *covers Steph's ears* Our daughter was not an accident!
Katie: You mean Scott intended to knock you up?
Lori: Can we just drop it and talk about something else?
Katie: Sure. Is Scotty a mean drunk or a nice drunk?
Lori: *glares* He is not a drunk.
Katie: Your father sure drank a lot more when you were around.
Anni: Katie, that's enough.
Katie: She told me to change the subject so I changed the subject. *looks at Scott* Have you knocked her on her ass yet?
Scott: Excuse me?
Katie: I'm sure you have a mean left hook. Lori deserves a few punches to the face now and again. Although it probably turns her pages more than anything.
Lori: *covers eyes*
Anni: Was that really necessary?
Steph: Momma hurted Daddy.
Everyone: *looks at Steph*
Lori: *lifts eyes*
Steph: *chews vegetables*
Katie: WHOA WHOA WHOA. Wait a second. LORI's a wife beater? Or, whatever we want to call it here?
Scott: It's nothing. We had an argument, that's all. I wasn't hurt.
Katie: Typical victim. I'll tell you something, Scott. First it's a punch, the next time it'll be a knife in your gut. Or a bullet in your brain. Violence is all she knows, don't turn your back on her.
Scott: *stares at Katie*
Katie: They never change, either. And I'm sure once she's finished having fun playing house, she'll go right back to being a crack whore.
Scott: *stands*
Speed: *grabs Scott's arm*
Scott: *sits*
Anni: Lori, ignore her. She's just redirecting her stupidity because she promised not to do it to your father.
Katie: Don't get me wrong, she's accomplished a lot and I'm proud of that but the simple truth is a leopard doesn't change its spots. At least not for very long. What we're doing is watching a time bomb, it's only a matter of time. She's showing that now, throwing her fists his way.
Lori: I reacted badly. That doesn't mean I'll make a habit of it and it certainly doesn't mean I'm just 'playing house'.
Katie: You make a habit out of everything, Lori.
Lori: *looks down at plate, picks at food*
Katie: Remember when you were 16 and your father found you passed out in the shower on downers?
Scott: ENOUGH!
Everyone: *looks at Scott*
Scott: GET OUT!
Katie: What?
Scott: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! NOW!
Katie: You can't kick me out.
Scott: *stands, pushes chair in* Remove yourself from my home or I'll remove you.
Katie: Oh stop being silly and sit down.
Scott: *walks around table*
Katie: ACK! I'm leaving, I'm leaving. *stands, runs*
Scott: *walks over to chair, sits*
Baby is heard crying
Anni: *stands*
Speed: I'll get her. *stands, leaves*
Anni: ...Feel free. *sits*
Lori: Excuse me. I'll be right back. *stands, walks away*
Anni: ...Just us chickens.
Steph: *giggles*
Anni: *smiles* Hey! Look at that, I made her laugh. Point for me!

what a tense dinner. I WOULD NOT want to be apart of that family... Well, any family that has Katie in it. She's notorious for bringing up all the bad things, and not accuenating the good things. I'm glad Scott had enough of her antics and kicked her out.
And SWEET, Anni made Steph laugh... And Speed's going for Brooklyn...maybe we can have warmth and happiness afterall...Maybe.
Awesome update!

Speed: *picks up bottle, wraps arm under Brooklyn*
Lori: *walks over, sits*
Speed: *looks at Lori*
Lori: *leans back on couch* I'm sorry Mom's such a loon.
Speed: *smirks* That's not your fault.
Lori: ...You really found me passed out in the shower?
Speed: Mhm. *staring down at baby*
Lori: *lowers head*
Speed: *strokes baby's cheek* I'm just glad you turned yourself around.
Lori: *lifts eyes* ...You really think I have?
Speed: *nods* Yeah.
Lori: You're not just saying that because of all those nutty paternal hormones?
Speed: *smirks*
Lori: Seriously, they get you every time. I've been there.
Speed: *puts bottle on table, places baby over shoulder*
Lori: You ever picture yourself having kids when you were younger?
Speed: Never.
Lori: Why not?
Speed: It just wasn't something I wanted at the time.
Lori: What changed?
Speed: ...You never forget the first time your child looks you in the eye and smiles. It's unlike anything else.
Lori: *nods*
Speed: Don't tell Eric I said that though.
Lori: *smiles*
Speed: *places baby into carrier*
Lori: Thanks for finding Stephanie.
Speed: It's my job.
Lori: *wraps arms around Speed*
Speed: *blinks*
Lori: *sigh*

Totally agree with Anni... we need more sweet moments with Speed and his daughters.
Katie, Katie, Katie... what are we going to do with you? Is it sad that I'm glad Scott kicked her out? :lol:
Anni's so cute with Steph.
Great updates!

Yes We need more of the Speed being the great father we know he can be moments! Yeah for Scott throughing Katie's ass out of the house! Why is it that everytime they sit down to eat she has to start up on Lori or Speed! is she like Hypoglosemice or have some kind of weird Terets where she just starts saying stuff and has no controll over it! Jeez! Katie you need to go get some meds of something and stop your shit!
I think Speed is really proud of Lori he just has a hard time exspessing himself because he still has his own guilt of the things he put her through when she was younger. Maybe in time he will get over it!
Wonder why Lori didn't tell Tom she was going to have a baby ! Hmm! interesting! well I guess we'll have to see where that leads to when he finds out!
Great update Geni!
