Scott: *runs over to foyer, opens door*
Tom: *lifts head*
Scott: *smiles* Hey. *smile fades* Oh geez did I miss an appointment? Were the kids supposed to be with Lori?
Tom: No. But I'd like to speak to you about something along the same vein.
Scott: Sure, come on in.
Tom: *walks in*
Scott: *shuts door*
Tom: Uh...I sort of wanted to talk to you about the time Lori and I hooked up the first time.
Scott: *crosses arms* What about it?
Tom: It was um...freakishly close to...around the time Stephanie was conceived.
Scott: *stares at Tom* Uh huh.
Tom: Now I'm not trying to start anything but...is there a possibility that sh-
Scott: She's yours?
Tom: Yeah.
Scott: Why are you so concerned about it now?
Tom: Because I hadn't really thought about it.
Scott: She's not yours.
Tom: How do you know?
Scott: I had a private lab test her DNA against mine.
Tom: *nods* ...That's...that's a relief.
Scott: I hope this isn't a common occurrence with you.
Tom: *laughs* Well I haven't gotten any calls from any pissed-off hookers if that helps.
Scott: *places hand on Tom's shoulder* I like you better this way. Don't go back to doing that.
Tom: Agreed.
Scott: What really got you worried about this?
Tom: Katie.
Scott: Yeah, see I just tune her out every so often.
Tom: I'm glad she's not my in-law.
APL Manhattan Miami, 8am next day

Donna: *smiling* I'm telling you, amazing.
Trudy: *smiles*
Bob: *walks over* What are we talking about?
Donna: *smile fades* Nothing.
Bob: I thought I heard some girl talk.
Donna: At the office? That's ridiculous.
Bob: Mhm.
Donna: *looks across room*
Reception
Scott: *grabs papers, stares down at folder*
Cubicle
Donna: *sigh*
Bob: *snaps fingers* Hey!
Donna: *looks at Bob* What?
Bob: Pay attention. I need to talk to you about that report from HR you passed on which, by the way, is missing half the information I need. This is the third time this week you've given me dick shit when I ask for it.
Donna: I'm sorry, I don't control HR.
Bob: Well I control this floor and you work on it so start getting your head into the work and stop gossiping with everyone else.
Donna: *frowns* You know, the only reason you got this promotion is because Scott wanted you off his back.
Bob: Go home.
Donna: Excuse me?
Bob: You're relieved for the day.
Donna: You're not my boss.
Bob: Get out!
Donna: *stands* Make me, old man!
Scott: *walks over* Whoa whoa whoa. What's going on?
Donna: Scotty, make him back off.
Scott: *looks at Donna* It's Mister Finch.
Donna: *stares at Scott*
Scott: Both of you need to cool down. Donna, my office.
Donna: *walks away*
Scott: *looks at Bob*
Bob: She's been like this all week. I didn't know PMS lasted that long.
Scott: I'll talk to her.
Bob: Yeah, of course she'll listen to you, Scotty. *walks away*
Scott: *frowns*
Office
Scott: *walks in, shuts door*
Donna: *smiles*
Scott: If Bob tells you to do something, you do it. Understand?
Donna: *smile fades* But you're my boss.
Scott: So is he.
Donna: *rolls eyes* He has a token job.
Scott: He has a real one and he can really fire you.
Donna: *places hands on Scott's chest* C'mon...you're not going to let him fire me.
Scott: *looks down*
Donna: *smirks*
Scott: I'm going to fire you if you don't stop this.
Donna: *lowers hands*
Scott: Get back to work.
Donna: *walks away*
Scott: *places hands on hips*

Tsk, tsk, Scotty. See, this is what happens when you go out on a drunken, drug induced rave and wake up in the morning in your employee's arms. Sounds like a pickle, no? Scotty better hope that Donna stays naive....or shocker , hope that she doesn't turn out to be some stalker chick. That would be so unfortunate.
Awesome work!
Awesome work!

Well it looks as though my services are gonna be need sometime soon! I guess I better get ready to come out of my closet! (Loads Mac 10 and racks chamber) Don't worry Scott if she starts to get out of hand I'll see that shes taken care of real quick ! Lol !
Well at least we know that Steph belongs to Scott and Tom is not having to worry about her being his! Katie needs to worry about her own shit and sta out of everybody Else's life! Can't you keep her occupied with Speed in the bedroom or something so she stays away from meddling in peoples lives!.
Great update Geni !

Lori: *staring at television*
Speed: You don't work today?
Lori: No. You?
Speed: I have the next couple days off.
Katie: *runs over* I ordered the pizzas so you'd both better still have your appetites.
Lori: Free food, I'm for it.
Katie: Great. *runs away*
Speed: *staring at TV*
Lori: *sips water*
Speed: Do you blame me for your addiction?
Lori: *looks at Speed* ...What?
Speed: Well I...I had some...issues with that.
Lori: You think it's hereditary.
Speed: Maybe in part.
Lori: The only person to blame for my actions is me.
Speed: You weren't the one who got you into drugs.
Lori: No but when I finally had a choice, I chose to continue to hurt myself and others.
Speed: Really. Where is my daughter and where did you dump the body?
Lori: *smirks*
Speed: You must really want Scott back.
Lori: I want my kids back.
Speed: *stares at Lori*
Lori: They're the only thing on my mind. All the time. I hate being away from them.
Speed: Good.
Lori: ...I don't know how you're surviving not having Brook here.
Speed: *lowers head* ...I know it sounds horrible but I'm somewhat numb to it now.
Lori: I don't think you are.
Speed: *lifts eyes*
Lori: I don't think you ever have been and that's why you have such a hard time letting people in. Vulnerable's never been your thing and that's okay, it's not mine either. But don't lie to yourself.
Speed: *looks at TV*
Lori: *lies head on Speed's shoulder*
Speed: *kisses Lori's forehead*
Katie: *runs in* PIZZA'S HERE! *places boxes onto table*
Lori: *smiles* Yum. *sits up, grabs pizza*
Katie: *sits* What are we watching?
Lori: Crime show on A&E.
Katie: CSIensacola?
Lori: Yeah. Season 3.
Katie: Ick.
Speed: *shrugs* I like it.
Katie: *looks at Speed* Name one good thing.
Speed: Women in bikinis.
Lori: *slaps Speed*
Speed: Fantastic cinematography.
Katie: Ha. Ha. Ha.
Speed: *smirks*
Katie: Okay who would you rather be stuck on an island with? Ratio Candycane or Ann Donahinkle?
Speed: Can I be stuck on an island with you?
Katie: *smiles* Aww how sweet.
Speed: Well I know for a fact you aren't homicidal.
Katie: *smile fades*
Speed: Oh, can I pick Scott?
Katie: No. You're getting stuck with me and that's final. Until death do us part.
Speed: *squints* We already tried that. Twice.
Katie: Exactly. Now we know what not to do.
Speed: *sigh*

Very awesome family time. It's good that they are finding each other , better late than never I say! Speed and Lori are coming along very well, and if they can be truthful with each other, then it's going to make it....Katie less homicidal? Ahem...travel back to when she tried to kill Anni...Yeah, that's right, less homicidal, right?
I noticed that Lori said she wanted her kids back, and not necessarily Scott. Hmm...looks liks Scott has a fight on his hands. I would love to see him step up to the challenge!

Restaurant, 9pm
Lori: *looks around*
Scott: *pushes door open, takes Lori's hand*
Lori: Scott, this isn't necessary.
Scott: You wanted to talk about the kids over dinner.
Lori: Well I sort of already had dinner. *looks around* Isn't this the restaurant we came to with Bailey and Krista and everyone?
Scott: Mhm. *pulls out chair*
Lori: *sits*
Scott: *walks around table, sits*
Lori: I'll pay for half.
Scott: Don't worry about it.
Lori: *sighs, looks down at menu*
Waitress: *walks over, pours wine*
Lori: *places hand on glass* No thanks.
Waitress: *nods*
Lori: I'll just have a water.
Waitress: No problem. *walks away*
Lori: Scott, I wanted to talk to you about maybe...letting Steph stay the night at my place.
Scott: *lifts eyes*
Lori: Just for one night.
Scott: ...You want our daughter to spend the night in an old apartment in West Miami.
Lori: The Empire State Building's old, you let Steph hang out in there while you're in meetings.
Scott: *stares at Lori*
Lori: Steph will be fine.
Scott: I don't think it's a good idea.
Lori: Why?
Scott: Because there's a reason you only have supervised visitation.
Lori: Yeah but if I want to improve myself, it only stands to reason that a little more trust should be slowly brought in, right?
Scott: And what happens if that trust is misplaced?
Lori: It won't be. I know what I'm doing.
Scott: *shakes head*
Lori: Please.
Scott: ...I'd like to sleep on it first.
Lori: *nods* ...Fair enough.
Scott: Thank you.

Lori: You know...*kicks at ground* the night we first spoke here, it was the first time I really ever felt like a flustered teenager. *scoffs* How stupid is that.
Scott: *smiles* Not stupid at all.
Lori: *scratches eyebrow*
Scott: Lori...why don't we start with a compromise, concerning the kids.
Lori: What did you have in mind?
Scott: Spend the night at my place.
Lori: *lifts brow*
Scott: It's 24 hours with Dom and Steph.
Lori: *nods slowly* ...But I'd still have you breathing down my neck.
Scott: Think of it as a stepping block.
Lori: Alright. When exactly did you want to do this?
Scott: ...Tonight?
Lori: *stares at Scott*
Scott: Or maybe another n-
Lori: No. T-Tonight's okay. I don't work tomorrow and Steph doesn't have school so it works out, right?

Lori: *steps back* I'm sorry, I can't-
Scott: Yes you can.
Lori: I don't want to fall back into what screwed everything up between us.
Scott: *lowers head* I know. I don't want that either.
Lori: I need to think about me...and my children at the moment. That's what needs to heal first.
Scott: *nods* You're right.
Lori: I had a lovely evening, please take me home.
Scott: Of course.

Lori: *smiles* Yes. I need you to stop asking me if I need anything.
Scott: Force of habit.
Lori: Goodnight. *walks away*
Scott: *grabs Lori's hand*
Lori: *stops, looks back*
Scott: It's good to have you here.
Lori: It's good to be here...for Dom and Steph. I think I'll go see him real quick before I hit the sack. *walks away*
Scott: *stares down hallway*
Bedroom, 12:15
Lori: *opens drawer, grabs shirt*
Scott: *steps over* Lori.
Lori: Yeah.
Scott: Can we talk?
Lori: I'm real tired, maybe tomorrow.
Scott: Why are you doing this?
Lori: What. *closes drawer*
Scott: Pushing me away.
Lori: *turns around* I'm trying to get my life together, not tumble around the sheets with you.
Scott: I'm not looking to get laid, I want to strengthen our relationship so we hopefully don't get divorced.
Lori: *nods*
Scott: *walks away*
Lori: *lowers head*

OO .... I SWEAR! LORI...my God, it's time to face it. You can't just keep walking away from SCott when he's trying to reach out to you. Do it enough, and he's going to feel as if you don't care and you don't want to stay married to him. Word to the wise, Lori, deal with it, and deal with it now before it's too late.
I can understand her wanting to get herself together, but I think she has a grasp on what she wants, allowing Scott a small opening isn't going to hurt her. I think she's scared of giving up the control she's gained. But what she doesn't realize is that she doesn't have to give it up. Ugh...she needs to relate to him in the worst way.
Awesome update though!
