What if Emily had really been pregnant when Daniel shot her? What if after she regained her memory that she left the Hamptons without Daniel knowing that she had told him the truth? She has given up her quest for revenge for the sake of her child. She still refuses to sign the divorce papers, which frustrates Daniel. What happens when she moves back into her Hampton's beach house?

"Ma'am where would you like this?"
Emily Thorne turned and looked at one of the movers. "In the kitchen is fine."
Emily turned and stepped out onto the porch. She looked up at Grayson Manor and sighed. A little voice came from behind her that pulled her from her thoughts.
"Mommy can we go play on the beach?"
Emily turned and looked at her daughter. She was the spitting image of her father. Same dark brown hair and brown eyes. She had Emily's smile and dimples.
"Sorry Baby it's too cold today. Besides you need to decide where you are going to put all of your toys."
The little girl nodded and took off into the house.

Daniel Grayson walked into the Kitchen and kissed his mother's cheek.
"Good morning."
Victoria Grayson set her tea cup down and smiled. "You're up early."
"Sara and I have a meeting with the caterer."
She nodded. "I have the event planner coming by this afternoon to finalize the layout."
Just then Sara walked into the room with Charlotte. Victoria beamed at her.
"Ah here is the beautiful bride now."
Sara blushed and kissed Daniel before sitting down. Conrad walked in and grabbed his coffee. He glanced at Victoria to step to the side. She looked at him curious.
"Is everything alright?"
He shook his head. "I just spoke with Tony. She still hasn't signed. Even if she signs today there is no way they paper work with be finalized by next week."
Victoria gave a sigh of disgust. "How do we tell them?"
"I'll handle it."
They walked back into the kitchen and watched as Charlotte, Sara and Daniel talked and ate. Conrad finally cleared his throat and spoke up.
"I'm afraid that I have some bad news."
They looked up at him. Conrad spoke mainly to his son.
"I just spoke with Tony and she hasn't signed that papers. But Tony also informed me that even if she signs them today, the divorce will not be final for at least two weeks."
Daniel groaned and Sara looked disappointed. Charlotte spoke angrily.
"Can't we make her sign them?"
Victoria spoke. "That is the next step. To have a judge grant the divorce. We can state that Emily is unstable."
Sara spoke tearfully. "This can't be happening."
Daniel felt guilty. He rubbed her back soothingly. "Hey we are still getting married. I promise."
Conrad looked at his phone and exclaimed. "Tony has come through once again!"
They looked at him confused so he elaborated.
"If Emily signs a special form you two can get married next week. Then when the divorce is official so will your marriage."
Charlotte rolled her eyes. "One problem, how are we going to get Emily to sign them? Forge her signature."
Conrad shook his head. "She has to be in front of Tony and her attorney when she signs this form. So we need to find Emily and...encourage her to sign them."
Victoria looked out the window and thought she was imagining things. She looked again.
"Well it may be easier then we think." She turned and smiled at them. "Look who has moved back."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Emily was unpacking a box when a knock came on her back door. She walked over and opened it to reveal Charlotte. She plastered a smile on her face.
"Hello Charlotte, it's been too long."
Charlotte was slightly taken aback by Emily's cheerfulness. She decided to get right to the point.
"I have been volunteered by the family to serve you yet again with divorce papers."
Emily's smile faltered and she took the stack of papers from Charlotte. "Oh."
Charlotte then handed her a new stack. "Daniel is getting married next week. In order to do that you need to sign these papers in your lawyer's office."
Emily took the next stack and looked at Charlotte. "I will see what I can do."
Charlotte nodded and walked away. Emily shut the door and sank down against it. She broke down into tears.
"What happened Mommy?"
Emily wiped her face quickly and faked a smile. "Nothing. How about I order us a pizza?"
"Yeah!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Charlotte looked at her brother. "Well message delivered."
He nodded and Victoria spoke.
"Now we need to see if she will actually sign them or if she needs a little encouragement."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Emily let Nolan in the back door smiling.
"Thank you for doing this."
He waved his hand. "No trouble at all. I'll take the little Peanut to get some ice cream or maybe cupcakes."
She rolled her eyes. "Just be careful and keep an eye on her."
"Yes Ma'am."
Emily grabbed her bag and headed out. Soon she was walking into Ryan Huntley's office. She knocked on the door and he grinned.
"Come in."
She walked over and hugged him. She smiled.
"Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice."
He nodded. "Of course. You're my favorite client after all." He motioned for her to sit. "What can I do for you?"
She handed him the stack of legal forms. "Daniel wants a divorce. He has for a while but as you know I have been refusing to cooperate."
"Yes we played hard ball. After all we are keeping the fact that he tried to kill you out of it so he doesn't go to prison."
"Well now he wants me to sign some form so that he can get married next week."
Ryan scoffed. "I would advice you not to sign otherwise you give him the power." He started going through her papers and saw something. "You put Daniel's name on the birth certificate correct?"
She nodded. "And when she was born we used the toothbrush that he left at my place to establish paternity. That's all in my file."
"According to your prenuptial agreement, you would inherit his estate upon his death but then you also have a clause where, in the event you have children, you will receive 10 million dollars per legitimate child."
Emily cocked her brow. "And?"
"And I just found a way to contest the divorce."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sara and Daniel were eating dinner by the pool with Victoria, Conrad, and Charlotte. They were laughing when someone walked over with their security guard. Conrad looked.
"What is this?"
The head of security spoke. "Sorry to interrupt your dinner Mr. Grayson but this man is insisting on seeing Daniel."
Daniel stood. "What is this about?"
The man looked at Daniel. "Are you Daniel E. Grayson?"
"Yes. What is this about?"
He handed him a blue paper. "You've been served."
He turned and left. Sara stood and walked over as Daniel read the paper.
"What is it?"
He groaned. "Emily is contesting the divorce. She is stating that I broke our prenuptial agreement."
Victoria shook her head. "I'll call Tony."
Daniel sat back down and put his head in his hands. "We spent maybe three months actually married and now it's been almost four years that I've been trying to divorce her. Everytime I think that it is going to be over she has another excuse of why she can't sign."
Conrad sat back down. "Well this will be the last time."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Daniel walked into Tony's office with his father. They sat down and looked at Tony. Conrad spoke quickly.
"What is she claiming this time?"
Tony looked grim. "I've been over everything and I have spoken with her attorney. We have a problem."
"What kind of problem?"
He set some forms down on the table and pointed to a section. "In the prenuptial agreement that Daniel and Emily both signed it states that Emily would receive the entirety of Daniel's estate in the event of Daniel's death. Otherwise their finances would remain separate and any property that they purchased together would be split."
Daniel nodded. "But Emily and I never bought a house or anything together."
"Yes but you included a clause here. Emily would receive 10 million dollars per child you had together. According to these documents, you and Emily have a child together."
Daniel froze. "What?"
"Her lawyer faxed me a copy of the birth certificate and a copy of a paternity test that they had done using a tooth brush that you left at Emily's house. Your name is on the birth certificate and according to their test you are the biological father."
Conrad and Daniel were both stunned. Conrad was the first to speak.
"She's lying! She lied to him before about being pregnant! How do we know that this test is real?"
"We can insist upon a paternity test of our own. But I do have to warn you, if our test comes back positive you will have to re-file for divorce and for custody of your child."
Daniel thawed out. "Why would I have to re-file?"
"Because legally you would still have to pay her the ten million dollars despite you being separated. Also you would have to list a child between the two of you in the divorce papers. Since Emily never filled anything out she never had to state that you had a child together."
Daniel felt so many mixed emotions. "What do we need to do?"
"I'll send her an order for a new paternity test stating that both her lawyer and me need to be present when the DNA is taken from both parties."
He nodded. "Do it."
