*~Early August 2012~*

After his daring escape from Alison Perkins, Victor had left in search of Marty. He discovered her alone and heartbroken after her break-up with the love of her life, Patrick Thornhart. Marty had been through so much, because she hadn't just lost Patrick; she had also lost her son, Cole, and her granddaughter, Hope in a tragic car accident. After he had mended all of the wounds on her heart, Victor had asked Marty if she would marry him. They were now happily wed and expecting a new baby. Marty couldn't have been happier.

Before they could settle down and raise their child, Victor had unfinished business in Llanview. They arrived at the Manning Estate one day; their car stuffed full of their belongings. "Wait out here, sweetheart. This will only take me a minute," Victor said as he leaned over and gave Marty a kiss.

"Hurry back, Victor," Marty replied as she leaned back in her seat. Considering she was three months pregnant, she was hungry all the time. She couldn't wait until they had dinner.

Victor smiled at Marty and stepped out of the car. He was sure he could smooth things over quickly with Tea, then he and Marty could get situated into their home.

*~o~*

Ever since Victor's death, Tea DelGado had tried to go on with her life. She was raising she and Victor's son all by herself after Dani had moved away to attend college. Even though he had been gone nearly a year, Tea still missed Victor with all her heart and soul. Every time she looked into Victor Junior's blue eyes, she thought of the man she loved.

Victor walked in the front door to see Tea about to leave. His eyes were on the small child she was pushing in the baby stroller. "Victor!" she gasped. When she saw her "dead" husband walking through the door, Tea almost fainted.

"Victor, it's really you!" she exclaimed. "You're alive!"

"Yes, I am alive and well... and I would like to be part of your life again," he stated as he looked at the precious baby who was seated in the stroller.

"Who's this little guy? Is this our son?" Victor asked.

"Yes," Tea said breathlessly as she still couldn't believe he was alive. "His name is Victor Junior. And he's three months old."

"He's adorable, Tea. I can't believe I have another son," Victor said happily.

"Sam will be so glad you're back," Tea told him. "But how is it you are even alive? I saw you shot and bleeding on our living room floor. They took you away in a body bag."

"I know, Tea... but it was all a hoax. Mitch Lawrence faked my death... and he and Alison Perkins kept me prisoner all those months. Until of course, my niece Natalie shot him... then it was just Alison everyday, talking to me about her religion..."

"Her religion? How creepy. All that stuff with The Messenger?" Tea said with distaste. "How did you ever get through that? And how did you escape?"

"All of that doesn't matter now," Victor said as he thought about Marty waiting out in the car. "All that matters is that I am back... and I'd like to be a husband to you... and a father to that little guy sitting in the stroller. Did you miss me? And do you want me back, Tea?"

"Of course, I missed you, Victor. I have been grieving for you for months. Hell, I am STILL grieving for you," Tea responded. "What kind of question is that? Do I want you back?"

"Of course I want you back!" Tea said as she went into his arms.

"Good, 'cause I missed you, Tea," he said as he pulled her closer and gazed into her eyes. "But before I move back in... there's something you gotta know."

"What is it?"

"While I was with Alison and Mitch, I became familiar with religion..."

"Do you mean Mitch Lawrence's weird form of religion?"

"No, something different. That isn't the type of religion I am speaking of. I am talking about the kind of religion where a man takes more than one wife. Tea, I know who I am now... and I know what my beliefs are."

"You're joking, right?" Tea prompted him. She started to laugh about it until she realized by his expression that Victor was completely serious.

"This is my religion now. Will you accept it? And will you allow me to have more than one wife living under our roof?" Victor questioned Tea.

Tea stood there staring at her husband in a state of shock. She didn't know what to say at first. "You're out of your mind, Victor. I'm not going to share you with another woman. You're married to me!" she exclaimed.

"No. It isn't that simple," Victor stated. "I have taken another wife, and she's waiting in the car. You and I have a son. And she is carrying my child, too."

"When do I get to meet this bimbo?" Tea cried out.

Just then, Marty walked through the door. She had been waiting in the car an awfully long time. She needed to relax and have a cool drink in the air conditioning. "Hello, Tea," Marty said. Marty set her suitcases down and greeted Tea with a smile.
