Lol! As usual Katie Runs that mouth llike a singer sewing machine and creates hate and discontent among the natives !

Note to Speed: Can you please tie Katie to the bed and I don't know.... maybe give her some lessons in how to shut the hell up or something! Jeez! Control you woman!

Glad Lori has desided that she want to see the kids although I'm wondering what she gonna do with them once she sees them! She sure brushed off her parents awfully fast! I just hope she doesn't do the same with the kids!

Great Update Geni!
 
Why do I get a bad feeling about leaving Bob alone in the house? :lol: :lol:

Kidding, kidding.

I don't even know what to say about Katie... Poor Speed, though.

Great update! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews! :)

^ :lol:

Miami PD, 9am next day

Lori: *pushes past people*

Tom: *staring down at folder*

Lori: Excuse me, can you tell me where Tim...Speedle is?

Tom: *lifts head, blinks*

Lori: I think he's a cop.

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *looks around* ...*looks back at Tom* They got mutes working here or what?

Tom: He works at the lab.

Lori: ...Lab.

Tom: Crime lab. Different building.

Lori: And where is that, exactly?

Tom: ...Uh...it's, it's-

Lori: I guess I'll ask someone whose brain has a clear path to their mouth.

Tom: It's out back. Lots of stairs and glass. I'm actually supposed to be there right now, I'm a CSI.

Lori: Great. You mind showing me?

Tom: Sure.

Lori: *extends hand* I'm Lori, by the way.

Tom: *grabs Lori's hand* Tom Grey.

Lori: *walks away*

Tom: *stares ahead*

Crime lab, elevator

Tom: *presses button*

Lori: Have you worked here long?

Tom: A few years.

Lori: Is it a rewarding job?

Tom: Not really.

Lori: *nods slowly*

Tom: *staring at doors*

Lori: My mother mentioned a Tom. You wouldn't happen to be the same one...

Tom: Depends what she told you.

Lori: She didn't tell me anything.

Elevator doors open

Tom: *steps off elevator, walks away*

Lori: *follows* So you are.

Tom: *grabs folder from counter* Yeah.

Lori: Interesting.

Trace lab

Speed: *staring through microscope*

Tom: *walks in*

Speed: *lifts eyes*

Lori: *walks over*

Tom: She wants to speak with you.

Speed: *looks at Lori*

Tom: Now that Dorothy's found the wizard, the scarecrow's going to take off down the laminate tiled road. Of course that's the weirdest thing I've ever said.

Lori: *smiles*

Tom: *walks away*

Speed: What can I do for you?

Lori: We didn't really start off on the right foot. I just wanted to apologize for my behaviour yesterday. I didn't mean to make your wife-my mother, angry.

Speed: We're actually not married.

Lori: Oh.

Speed: It's fine. She gets excited.

Lori: I hope I wasn't...disappointing.

Speed: What do you mean?

Lori: Scott mentioned that I had some issues.

Speed: You worked through them.

Lori: What exactly were they?

Speed: *stares at Lori*

Lori: Come on, it can't be that bad.

Speed: You had a drug problem.

Lori: *nods*

Speed: But you got sober.

Lori: That's good to know.

Speed: *looks down at table*

Lori: ...You okay?

Speed: I'm just...glad you're alive.

Lori: *walks around table, sits in chair*

Speed: *looks at Lori*

Lori: I didn't want to tell Scott all of this but...I dreamed about you. At least I'm pretty sure it was you. Something tells me we don't have the most...normal relationship.

Speed: *stares at Lori*

Lori: But for what it's worth...I'm glad I'm alive too. *stands, walks away*

Speed: *looks at microscope, grabs folder*

TBC..............................
 
What a positive meeting for Lori and Tom, even though Tom was leveled to mere consanants, it was still cute. I like how Lori's trying to smooth everything over with Speed, even as she tells him that she's had specific dreams about him. I wonder if that's going to come up to the forefront? Hmm....remains to be seen....


Awesome update!
 
Well ! I think that was as awkward for me as it was for Speed! I really don't know what she accomplished other than making Speed feel like he was starting all over again with her and they were gonna have to hash those old issues at some point all over again.

And Tom would you like to by a vowel for $500 ! Man talk about a tong tied moment for him! I wonder what exactly was going on in his head at that moment! he was probably thinking maybe hes lost her for good I guess.

great update Geni!
 
Thanks for the reviews!

Miami Lab, layout room

Anni: *unfold clothes, grabs magnifying glass*

Tom: *walks over* Aren't you supposed to be on maternity leave?

Anni: Aren't you supposed to be at a desk?

Tom: I won't tell if you won't.

Anni: *smiles, staring at clothing*

Tom: What are you working on?

Anni: School shooting. These are the victim's clothes, I'm trying to determine distance but there's something weird in the fabric.

Tom: Define weird.

Anni: Tempered glass.

Tom: Victim died in a school, he could have been shot through glass. My highschool had bulletproof glass in all the doors and windows and tempered glass can be a component of it.

Anni: The victim was found inside a bathroom stall. No windows and the doors are solid steel.

Tom: So the glass came from somewhere else.

Anni: What's interesting about the glass fragments is that they're melted, almost as if they came from directly inside the barrel of the gun.

Tom: Secondary transfer.

Anni: Yeah but I can't really see someone trying to break bulletproof glass with the barrel of a gun or shooting at it without someone noticing.

Tom: Maybe it didn't come from the school.

Anni: That means I'm looking for hundreds of sources. Vehicles, storefronts, telephone booths, bus stations...

Tom: Seems like your work's cut out for you.

Anni: *nods*

Tom: Try not to work too hard.

Anni: *smiles* Concerned about me?

Tom: *frowns*

Anni: We're fine.

Tom: You should really be at home.

Anni: Swollen ankles and a backache doesn't make me unfit for work.

Tom: If you need anything, call me.

Anni: I will.

Tom: *kisses Anni's cheek, walks away*

Anni: *smirks*

Gables Estates, house, bedroom

Lori: *sits on floor*

Steph: *brushes doll's hair* You wanna play with my other barbie?

Lori: Sure.

Steph: *hands over barbie*

Lori: *picks up doll* This one's pretty. I like her clothes.

Steph: That's you, Momma.

Lori: *lifts eyes*

Steph: She's the tough barbie.

Lori: Tough barbie.

Steph: Yup, she protects the other barbies.

Lori: *nods*

Steph: *grabs ken doll* This one's Tommy.

Lori: *lifts brow* Tommy?

Steph: He loves the tough barbie.

Lori: ...Does he.

Steph: Yup.

Lori: What about Scott? Or, er, Daddy...where does he fit in?

Steph: He's gone lots.

Lori: I thought he wasn't working anymore.

Steph: *shrugs*

Lori: So Tommy...he's around lots.

Steph: Yup.

Lori: What exactly does he do when he's around?

Steph: Takes care of us.

Lori: Why?

Steph: *lifts brow* He loves us, Momma.

Lori: Right.

Steph: *pulls plastic car over*

Lori: Did you have fun while we were gone?

Steph: Grama's fun but Grampa's serious. He doesn't let me get into trouble.

Lori: *smirks*

Steph: *climbs into Lori's lap*

Lori: *blinks*

Steph: *wraps arms around Lori*

Lori: *looks down at Steph*

Steph: Don't go anymore, Momma.

Lori: *stares blankly*

TBC...................................
 
OH ....AWWW!!! Now when she says it like that, it's gotta propel Lori to stay. She even melted my heart:). I love how all this information came through innocuous play. Lori should be a therapist, LOL. I suppose, however, that there are questions to be answered now, and who knows what road that's going to lead to....

I loved the scene with Tom and Anni...these two are made for each other...lol


Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the review! :D Hee.

Gables Estates, house, driveway

Lori: *opens truck door, grabs bags*

Trixy: *walks over, smiles* Lori.

Lori: *looks at Trixy*

Trixy: *smiling* How nice to see you after all this time. I hope you haven't been hiding away because of little ol' us.

Lori: ...Do I know you?

Trixy: Cute. I hope hubby enjoyed the video.

Lori: *stares at Trixy*

Trixy: I certainly did.

Lori: ...Congratulations.

Trixy: You know you'll never be a part of us. Tammy was just trying to be nice.

Lori: I don't want to be a part of you.

Trixy: Then you may as well get out of the neighborhood.

Lori: *shuts door, steps closer* Do you expect me to believe that you're...scary? You and your little...pocket pooch and blackberry?

Trixy: I own this neighborhood and you have more dirt collected than my husband's SUV. I can make your life very complicated.

Lori: *smiles*

Trixy: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *smiling* It was nice to meet you.

Trixy: *lifts brow*

Car pulls up

Trixy: *walks away*

Lori: *crosses arms*

Tom: *steps out of car, shuts door* Lori!

Lori: *looks at Tom*

Tom: *walks over* My wife says you have some sort of heating pad or something that Scott's loaning to her.

Lori: She's the pregnant lady, right? I think I saw her at the lab on my way out. Lab coat said Grey.

Tom: Yeah, that's her. You know where it is?

Lori: No but I can look.

Tom: Who was that other woman you were talking to?

Lori: The welcoming committee.

Tom: Sounds pleasant.

Steph: *runs out, smiles* TOMMY!

Tom: *smiles* Hey. *kneels* How are you?

Steph: *hugs Tom* Good!

Tom: *smiling* Great, so no school today?

Steph: *lets go* Nope.

Tom: So that means you and your mom are free for lunch.

Steph: *gasp* YEAH!

Lori: No.

Tom: *lifts head* It's the least I can do.

Lori: Lunch for a heating pad? It's not a big deal.

Tom: I thought maybe you wanted some company while Scott's in New York. It's your first week back.

Lori: ...I pay for myself and the kid.

Tom: Deal. *looks at Steph* Go on inside and get your shoes on.

Steph: *smiles* YAY!

Tom: *winks*

Steph: *turns around, runs away*

Tom: *stands*

Lori: I'm really okay with her. You don't have to do this.

Tom: It'll be good for you.

Lori: ...How.

Tom: I'm taking you to your favourite restaurant. Might jog some memories.

Lori: *angry sigh*

Restaurant, booth

Steph: *slides in*

Lori: *sits*

Waitress: Can I start you off with some drinks?

Tom: I'll have water.

Waitress: And you?

Steph: ROOTBEER!

Waitress: *smiles*

Lori: Water for me.

Waitress: Great. *walks away*

Lori: *opens menu*

Steph: I want the nuggets!

Tom: Good choice. You know, that was my favourite lunch as a kid.

Steph: *smiles* ME TOO.

Lori: Hush.

Steph: Oops. *covers mouth*

Lori: *flips page*

Tom: I saw some of the press conference on TV at the lab. Scotty's pretty good with the cameras.

Lori: Uh huh.

Tom: I don't think I could do his job.

Lori: *shrugs* You're a handsome guy. You'd be fine at PR.

Tom: Being handsome is one thing, being able to speak is another.

Lori: Right, you seem to have that problem. Cameras don't have breasts so you'd be alright.

Tom: *frowns*

TBC........................
 
Well Lori's a little Cold their towards Tom ! Hmm ! And whats up with her attitude with Steph ! This might not be so good to be leaving her with the kids right now !


Great update Geni!
 
Do I detect a bit of frustration from Lori? It seems as if she's being overwhelmed by everything, and not to mention her run in with Trixy. I cannot wait to see where this goes with her... I'm sure it's not going to be good for Trixy.

Tom's always been there for Lori in every capacity...Lover....friend...help mate... And now, he's a father figure for Steph. It's a great relationship, I'll give him that, but can he run both of his lives? I mean, he's got Lori and Steph and Dom on one end and Anni , Brook and unnamed child on the other and he's in the middle. I just have to wonder who's going to go lacking?

Hmmmm indeed....

Awesome update!
 
Boy, does Trixy know how to ruin things or what? :lol: You can take her, Lori! :D

I hope Lori and Speed fall into a somewhat more normal relationship... well, normal for them, anyway. Same for Lori and Tom. :D

Steph is such a cutie, and so is Tom for worrying about Anni. :D

Great updates! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gables Estates, house, bedroom

Lori: *opens drawer* Thanks for paying. I guess I forgot that I didn't remember my pin number.

Tom: Happens to the best of us.

Lori: *pulls out heating pad* Yeah well the best of us are battling with a blank tape.

Tom: *grabs heating pad, walks away*

Lori: Stephanie has dolls.

Tom: *stops, looks back* ...Right. I knew you had a memory problem but to forget what dolls are?

Lori: *steps closer* She said that your doll loved my doll.

Tom: *lifts brow* Are you on crack?

Lori: Apparently I was. And according to my daughter, you're in love with me.

Tom: I'm not in love with you.

Lori: Then what exactly do we have? I know my kid's not a liar.

Tom: She probably just...re-enacted what she saw.

Lori: And what did she see?

Tom: I used to be around a lot while Scotty was away at work and we hung out. Steph's known me her whole life. It's not so crazy for her to assume we love each other.

Lori: Have we slept together?

Tom: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *angry sigh* Did Scott know?

Tom: Yes.

Lori: How long was this going on?

Tom: It's not like you think.

Lori: We had an affair.

Tom: Yes.

Lori: *shakes head* ...You have a pregnant wife. I have 2 kids and a husband who's apparently the most patient man on the planet. Was I still on crack or what?

Tom: You don't understand the whole situation.

Lori: What's to understand? It seems like we were pretty selfish.

Tom: You know what's selfish? A man spending 24 hours a day at work, children wondering where their father is and a mother dealing with everything on her own. I was trying to help.

Lori: By unzipping your pants.

Tom: We hadn't actually slept together since way before I even met my wife and I'm pretty sure you and Scott were separated. What you and I have...had before you got on that plane probably wasn't the most appropriate either but that's only because we cared about each other so much. We've...been through a lot of the same stuff.

Lori: And that makes it okay?

Tom: No. It doesn't.

Lori: You can leave now.

Tom: *takes Lori's arm* Lori, I-

Lori: *shoves Tom*

Tom: *nods*

Lori: Whatever we had, it's over. Please leave.

Tom: *turns around, leaves*

Lori: *sits on bed*

Bedroom, 11pm

Scott: *throws shirt into bin*

Lori: *steps in*

Scott: *looks at Lori, blinks* Hey. I thought you went to bed an hour ago.

Lori: Wasn't as tired as I thought.

Scott: You look pretty tired.

Lori: Yeah well it turns out I can't fall asleep alone.

Scott: *nods slowly*

Lori: Mind if I hang out here for a while?

Scott: Not at all. My couch is your couch. *tilts head* Legally.

Lori: *smirks* Thanks. *walks over to couch, sits*

Scott: *sits on bed, turns out light*

Lori: *leans back on couch*

Scott: *lies down*

Midnight

Lori: Are you still awake?

Scott: Yes.

Lori: *smiles* Great. *runs over, turns on light*

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Lori: *sits on bed* I've been thinking. Maybe I could push my bed into here.

Scott: *sits up* Why would you want to do that?

Lori: I haven't been able to sleep since we were in the forest. You're the missing link.

Scott: ...Okay.

Lori: So I figure if I push my bed into here, I won't feel so alone and that way, I'll be able to sleep.

Scott: Here's an idea. Why don't you just sleep in this bed.

Lori: Why would I do that?

Scott: ...We are married.

Lori: You don't think it'd be weird?

Scott: Not really.

Lori: *sigh* Thank God. *crawls over Scott, lies down* Night.

Scott: Wait a second. You said you were more comfortable in a separate room because you didn't want to make this difficult for either of us.

Lori: Turns out it's more difficult when we're apart. Could you turn out the light?

Scott: ...Sure. *turns out light, lies down*

Lori: *rolls over, lies head on Scott's chest*

Scott: *lifts brow*

Lori: *sigh*

Scott: *places hand on Lori's back*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Scott: *staring up at ceiling*

8am

Steph: *pushes door, walks in* Daddy. *walks over to bed* Daddy. *runs around bed, grabs sheets* DADDY!

Scott: *opens eyes, looks at Steph* What's wrong?

Steph: Breakfast.

Scott: *looks at watch, squints* Right.

Steph: Why's Mommy still asleep?

Scott: She's tired, sweetie.

Steph: She gets me breakfast at 7.

Scott: Why don't I get you some breakfast. *sits up, stands*

Steph: *runs away*

Scott: *looks at Lori*

Kitchen

Steph: *climbs into chair*

Scott: *places bowl on table*

Steph *grabs spoon*

Scott: *sits*

Steph: Mommy's different.

Scott: She is?

Steph: Yup. *eats oatmeal*

Scott: How is she different?

Steph: She always gets up first. *counts on fingers* Dommy gets up at 6 and he has his breakfast. Then I get up at 7 and I have my breakfast. Then Dommy goes to daycare and Mommy drives me to school. On the weekends, Mommy watches cartoons with me until lunch and the we go food shoppin'.

Scott: Right.

Steph: And then I help her clean and we get Dommy and then you come home and we eat supper.

Scott: Well we've only been home a couple days. Things might take some time to get back to normal.

Steph: Mommy used to say a routine was important.

Scott: It is.

Telephone rings

Scott: *stands, walks over to phone*

Steph: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *picks up phone* Yeah. *looks around* What's going on? ...What did Roger do? *sigh* I'll be there soon.

Steph: *looks down at table*

Scott: *hangs up phone, walks over to table* I need to head to work.

Steph: You said you weren't goin' anymore.

Scott: *kisses Steph's head* I'll be back later. *walks upstairs*

Steph: *frowns*

TBC................................
 
I knew this was coming, although I didn't think she'd be so harsh about it. I guess this was good for them both to make a clean break of it all. I'm sure though, Tom's going to have some residual feelings from this....

I thought it was cool that Lori's opening up more, and that as Steph noticed, she's not the same. Presenting two sides of Lori is a really great contrasting method, giving everyone around her, the best of both worlds, but probably annoying the hell out of Lori. I can't wait to see where this goes...

And Scotty going back to work? Let's hope this is a one time gig...LOL


Awesome update!
 
You know what they say if the cats away ! Well so to speak! since the real Lori has done a Elvis and left the building I guess that Scott's cue to to slide back into work and try to make her think that its a normal thing! But Steph knows exactly whats going on and shes not liking it one bit! I get the feeling she would like to see Mommy and Tom together again sence Daddy can't seem to spend time with his family.

I guess Tom is gonna have to switch to another plan now that Lori has basically told him that she doesn't want him around her anymore. Hmm interesting! What will he do about this situation.

Great Update Geni.
 
Why do I get a bad feeling about what Roger's done? :lol:

Poor Tom. Lori's kind of harsh. But I like that she's starting to be more open with Scott.

*snuggles Steph*

Great update! :D
