Thanks for the reviews! Hehe. :D

Short one for now. :p

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

Gables Estates, house, 9am

Lori: *throws keys* Did Bailey leave already?

Scott: *walks over* Yeah, she had to catch her flight back. Kids are gone for the morning.

Lori: Did you check with the hospital when they'll have a slot open for the surgery?

Scott: No.

Lori: Why not?

Scott: We need to talk about this more.

Lori: No we don't. I want to do it.

Scott: It's complex surgery, Lori.

Lori: It's not like an intern's doing it, Scott. They're doctors. It's kind of their job. *walks into kitchen*

Scott: What happens if something goes wrong?

Lori: *opens fridge, grabs soda* Then that's that.

Scott: ...What's that supposed to mean?

Lori: I don't want to be like this, Scott. Not if I don't have to. If I die, at least it won't be because I was trying to destroy myself for once.

Scott: *sigh*

Lori: *closes fridge* I'll be fine.

Scott: *wraps arms around Lori*

Lori: *blinks*

Scott: *hugs tighter*

Mexico, flea market

Horatio: *puts on sombrero* How does it look?

Lady: *lifts brow*

Horatio: Little big?

Lady: *stares at Horatio*

Horatio: Yeah you're right. *takes off sombrero* Oooh how much for these rattles? *picks up rattles, shakes them*

Lady: *crosses arms*

Horatio: *shaking rattles, starts dancing* COOKAMONGA!

Lady: *takes rattles*

Horatio: Sorry.

Break room

Katie: *scrubbing floor*

Anni: *wiping couch*

Katie: *looks over*

Anni: *whistling*

Katie: *narrows eyes*

Anni: *wipes couch*

Katie: What the hell are you whistling about?

Anni: *looks at Katie* Huh?

Katie: *rolls eyes* Must have been one hell of an evening.

Anni: *smirks*

Katie: *jumps onto couch* Spill.

Anni: No way. I'm still mad at you.

Katie: Come on!

Anni: Get cleaning. *pushes Katie*

Katie: I hate you.

TBC..................................
 
I'm amazed at the fact that Anni is even speaking to Katie after that battle royale they had. But considering that she had such a BEAUTIFUL night, I'm thinking that she's in a forgiving mood. Of course, forgiving would be a tad bit leinient, but right now, Katie needs to take it as she gives it.

I think Lori should go for it. I think that it's all going to work out...but because she is Lori Finch, something's going to go wrong. I just hope it isn't crucial.

AND...Horatio in Mexico. That just screams hilarity...

Awesome update!
 
Haha, they're actually cleaning and not making the mess worse by killing each other? Shocking. :lol:

I agree with Anni... Lori should go for it! :)

I wonder what Horatio's doing in Mexico... Hmm...

Great update! :D
 
OMG! Horatio is in Mexico...oh this should be good....LOL
I think Delko is gonna be upset cause he didn't take him with, but Delko has me, I mean RT Monica to play with...LOL

I think that Anni should just shoot Katie and get it over with...LOL...not shoot to kill, but shoot to injure.

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks so much for the reviews! :) *twirls*

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

Hospital, 3 days later

Lori: Scott, stop pacing.

Scott: How did they fit you in this quickly?

Lori: You're a high profile guy.

Scott: You sure you want to do this right now.

Lori: Stop worrying.

Scott: *places hand on Lori's cheek* I love you.

Lori: I'm not saying it back.

Scott: *tilts head*

Lori: I'm leaving that for when I get out of this place.

Scott: *sigh*

Lori: *smiles* You're so cute.

Scott: That's just the pre-surgery meds talking.

Lori: Take care of our babies.

Scott: *grabs Lori's hand*

Lori: *smiling* You're pretty.

Scott: *kisses Lori's cheek* Rest up.

Gables Estates, house, 4pm

Steph: *puts plate onto table*

Scott: *stirs sauce*

Steph: Daddy, where's Momma?

Scott: The hospital.

Steph: The head hospital?

Scott: Nope, the regular one.

Steph: How come?

Scott: She's in surgery.

Steph: Why?

Scott: *looks at Steph*

Steph: *staring at Scott*

Scott: *walks over, kneels*

Steph: *lowers eyes*

Scott: The doctors found something growing in Mommy's head. It's called a tumor. It's what's been making her act strangely.

Steph: ...Then how come she went to those doctors before?

Scott: Well, a lot of things can cause what Mom's been going through. The brain is a tricky thing.

Steph: *stares at Scott*

Scott: Sometimes sicknesses hide. And they can hide as something else. Does that make sense?

Steph: Momma's tumor was dressed up for Halloween.

Scott: *smirks*

Steph: Is she gonna die, Daddy?

Scott: No, honey. She's going to be just fine.

Steph: *nods*

Scott: *stands* Let's get the dinner table finished.

Steph: *walks over to table*

Scott: *stares at Steph*

Steph: *straightens out fork*

Scott: *looks back at stove*

Restaurant, 6pm

Tom: *slides into booth*

Jeff: Thanks for meeting me. I got you a beer, I hope you don't mind.

Tom: *points to paper* What's that.

Jeff: Dad's will. I thought you should see it.

Tom: *grabs paper, looks down*

Jeff: *stares at Tom*

Tom: *throws paper onto table* Great. We finished?

Jeff: He left everything to you.

Tom: I don't want his shit.

Jeff: It's 5 million dollars worth.

Tom: Split it up between the family. Just leave me out of it.

Jeff: You pretty much won the lottery and...you're giving it away.

Tom: *stares at Jeff*

Jeff: Are you insane?

Tom: *smiles*

Jeff: You still hate the guy's guts.

Tom: Hate's a strong word. How's despise? Is that stronger?

Jeff: Come on, Tommy-

Tom: I need to get home. *stands* You have my permission to...split the money.

Jeff: You willing to sign to that?

Tom: Whatever you need.

Jeff: *nods*

Tom: *walks away*

Jeff: *sigh*

TBC.................................
 
I suppose that Tom's got this great thing called a morality gauge situated right there in his head, bc Damned if I wouldn't have taken the money, LOL. Seriously, though, I understand why he did it and he's doing the right thing by giving it to his family...But five million..... Ah well...

I love how hopeful, yet tragic Scott is being about everything. He knows the risks and yet he has to tell Steph that everything's going to be fine, when the opposite is true. I hope, at least for Scott's sake that everything will be fine.


Awesome update!
 
Why do I get the feeling that Jeff's just going to take it all and call it a day? Although, good move on Tom's part not to take it.

Steph's so cute. At least, when she isn't torturing her brother. :lol:

I hope Lori's okay! :)

Great update!
 
Awww....Steph is so adorable, she is worried about her mommy.

He walked away from $5M HOLY CRAP!!

But I guess I don't blame him...LOL :eek:

Great update Geni!
 
Thanks for the reviews! :D *bounces*

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

Gables Estates, house, 9pm

Scott: Steph, bed.

Steph: *frowns* No.

Tom: *drinks beer*

Scott: *glances at Tom*

Steph: *crosses arms*

Scott: If I have to repeat myself, you're gonna be sorry.

Steph: *lowers head, walks away*

Scott: Thank you.

Tom: She's out of surgery?

Scott: Yeah.

Tom: How'd it go?

Scott: They didn't report any complications.

Tom: So far.

Scott: *lifts brow*

Tom: *shrugs* She's a tough woman. I'm sure she'll be okay.

Scott: *nods* Yeah. She is.

Tom: *looks down at beer* ...Lori tells you everything, right? I mean,
she says she does.

Scott: She's...open with me about certain things.

Tom: Like what?

Scott: You want to know if she told me about your little problem.

Tom: *frowns* Is there anybody who hasn't heard?

Scott: If it makes you feel any better, I was a virgin until I was 27.

Tom: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *drinks beer*

Tom: ...I'm not really sure how to respond to that.

Scott: I'd prefer if you didn't.

Tom: *nods*

Scott: *places beer on counter*

Tom: If you um...if you suddenly come into a lot of money and you have a
family to take care of, is it a good idea to turn down that money?

Scott: *blinks* ...I guess it would depend on the particulars of the
situation.

Tom: My father died recently. He left me about 5 mil. I...handed it over to
my brother so he could divide it up between himself and my sisters.

Scott: That's commendable.

Tom: Anni and I aren't exactly wealthy. We don't have the ability to start
college funds or...retire anytime in the next 35 years. At least I don't. We
could have really used some of that money.

Scott: Why didn't you take it?

Tom: *runs hand through hair* It's a long story.

Scott: I don't mind.

Tom: Look, I can't admit that...maybe we're friends. Maybe. But we're not THAT close.

Scott: *smirks*

Hospital room, 9am

Scott: *steps in*

Lori: *grabs at straw*

Scott: *smiles* Hey.

Lori: *lifts eyes*

Scott: How are you feeling?

Lori: Frustrated.

Scott: *walks over* I'm sorry to hear that.

Lori: Can you wave your magic charm and get me some real food? They've been starving me.

Scott: ...You're slurring.

Lori: *rolls eyes* It's minor swelling or some garbage. *shoves food tray* UGH! FEED ME! I'M NOT IN JAIL, HERE!

Scott: *kneels, picks up food tray* I'll speak to someone.

Lori: Put that back on the floor. I'm unhappy. They have to know.

Scott: *places tray on nightstand* The doctors say they got all of it.

Lori: That's great. It's probably why my head is pounding. It feels like they used an ice cream scooper. *swings legs over side of bed*

Scott: What are you doing?

Lori: Going to Burger King to get a decent meal. *lifts head* Are there any Burger Kings nearby?

Scott: Lori, you just had brain surgery.

Lori: So? *jumps down, staggers sideways*

Scott: *grabs Lori's arm* So you need rest.

Lori: *holds forehead*

Scott: Sit.

Lori: *sits*

Scott: I'll bring the kids to see you this afternoon.

Lori: Good.

Scott: I'm glad you're doing okay. *kisses Lori's cheek*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Scott: *grabs Lori's hand* I know this'll be hard for you but try to stay in bed.

Lori: *smirks*

TBC............................
 
Oh...AWWW,... I knew it would happen inevitably...I KNEW that Scott and Tom would become somewhat friends. And it's a good friendship. That's really nice....Really...lol

And Lori is getting better! YAY! I can't wait to see how this will affect her. I can see the sterling change that's come about her already. Not only is she grumpy, but a slurred grumpy...Things can only get better from here...LOL

Awesome update!
 
AGH! This stupid thing isn't e-mailing me again ! Finally caught up ! Yeah Lori is doing better! If I was Tom I would have taken the money and been glad to have it ! Dumb ass!

Horatio in Mexico! Hes such a Tard! Shaking rattles! figured you would say he was actually shaking Rattle snakes like an idiot! lol!

Where the hell is Speed? His daughter has major brain surgery and hes know where to be found ? Thats not exactly right!

I surprised that Katie didn't smack the shit out of Anni when she was whistling! Lol! If Katie Whistles anything it would be If I only had a brain ! Lol!

Great update Genni !
 
Why do I have a feeling that Lori is gonna make a BK run...tell her to get me a cheeseburger while she's there...LOL

Scott & Tom, let the bromance begin...LOL

Great update Geni!
 
Mahaha. Bromance. :)

Lori's very stubborn. And I wouldn't exactly classify Burger King as a decent meal... :lol:

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

Dominick: *frowns*

Scott: I need to ask you a huge favor.

Katie: Anything.

Scott: Work called, there's sort of an emergency so I was wondering if you'd mind watching the kids for a few hours.

Katie: Of course. What happened?

Scott: It's sort of a...crime scene downtown.

Katie: *lifts brows* I didn't hear anything.

Scott: First responders aren't even there yet, I got a call from a witness.

Bob: We haven't gotten a head count yet. It's a weekend so, it could be anyone.

Scott: 48th floor, that's our office.

Bob: ...If you don't want to do it, boss, I-

Alexx: He seemed...together.

Scott: Call psych services, have them come down and set up shop. No doubt a lot of our people will be upset.

Bob: Including you.

Scott: *looks at Bob*

Bob: Hey I guess that CEO curse extends to employees close to the CEO, too.

Scott: *places hands on hips*

Bob: ...Humor keeps me from vomiting.

Scott: Take a few days.

Bob: I can't. You need me. I'm your right-hand man.

Steph: Momma's gonna take us campin'.

Speed: Sure she is.

Steph: We're gonna see teddy bears and kitty cats and lots of BIG rocks. And we're gonna sleep in the tent. *grins*

Speed: Wonderful. *turns wheel*

Speed: No.

Katie: *bounces Dominick on knee* Do you feel any different?

Lori: You mean do I want to run around naked and jump all over the male doctors?

Katie: *shrugs*

Lori: I think I'll skip that activity for the time being. *reaches out* Give me my little boy.

Katie: *hands over Dominick*

Dominick: *wraps arms around Lori's neck*
