Lose Yourself by Eminem
Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted - one moment
Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?
Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how? Everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, blow!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's at these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stag that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This old rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but super stardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmo who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partna', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepwritin' the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a pre-madonna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go, it's my shot.
Feet fail me not, this maybe the only opportunity that I got
You can do anything you set your mind to, man


Wallace

When Wallace met Bethany Samuels he knew she was the one. They were lab partners in their Chemistry Class their junior year. He thought she was gorgeous with her long brown hair, emerald green eyes and olive skin. After their first day working together Wallace was hooked. The two dated a year before they became engaged. They got married in April, before they graduated. Now 8 months later, Bethany was 38 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. They were so excited; however life for the Fennels was staring to get intense.

Wallace had been accepted in the Mechanical Engineering Masters program at UCLA. Finding a place, and moving with an extremely pregnant wife was proving stressful. They had been moved in a day before He got to work on the nursery. Wallace had 3 days to get it finished before his first day. He loved the idea of being a dad. He couldn't wait for little Henry Robert Fennel to enter the world.

Bethany had decided to put off going back to school until the fall. She was going to school to become a doctor in pediatrics. When she found out she was pregnant they felt that she should take a year off. She works as a receptionist for Mars Investigations.

MaDi

After Dick tried to kiss Mac, he realized that kissing her was all he could think about. He just couldn't figure out how to make it happen. For a year that was all he wanted, but Mac was different than other girls. He knew that all his lines and ways at getting girls to fall wouldn't work on her. Dick decided to focus on what he wanted out of college besides partying, and his friends. Finally his big chance came the first day of their senior year.

Mac had walked in his Econ class and sat down next to him. They had been assigned a project to work in pairs and make a successful business. When Mac looked at him they didn't need to say anything. It was due in a month and normally Dick would wait until the last minute. However he wanted to do his best for her. Dick knew working with her would get them an A, but he wanted to help her more than he thought. What Dick didn't know is that Mac had felt the same longing for him. As much as he still wanted to kiss her, Dick kept it professional. That is until the day before the assignment was due.
The two had worked late making sure everything was perfect for their presentation. It was close to midnight when Mac realized she needed to leave. They had spent the entire month working and flirting with each other. It had been hard for Dick to not make his move. No matter how much he liked her he chose to remain completely professional and gentlemanly. They had decided that they should go out the next night to celebrate for getting A's. As their last night together drew to a close he knew he couldn't let her leave without making a move.

"Wow, look at the time! I should get back to my dorm," Mac said. She gathered up her stuff and hesitantly walked toward the door.

"Before you go, there as been something that I have wanted to do," Dick said cautiously as he walked toward her. He knew it was a definite possibility that she would reject him. Regardless he couldn't stop himself. Dick gently strokes her cheek as he leans in to touch her lips with his. The moment their lips met sent electricity through them.

Mac was surprised by Dick's actions but didn't want him to stop. She wraps her arms around his neck and moved closer. They felt a sense of urgency as they stood, tangled in each others arms. Almost as if their lives depended on them to continue.
They finally broke the kiss, breathless as they stood there staring at each other. Mac couldn't say anything. She had wanted him to kiss her the whole time, but thought it wouldn't happen. Dick was the first to speak.

"You don't know how long that I have wanted to do that!" Mac was even more surprised at what he said.

"So, why didn't you do that before?" She remembered that he had tried before, that day on the beach. But he had been drunk and she figured that was the only reason he would try. Dick wasn't drunk now, actually he hadn't drank anything but soda the whole time they worked.

"I didn't think you would let me. I really like you, Mac." he answered. "Cindy," he said as his stroke her cheek again. Mac tilted her head to look in his blue eyes. This time she leaned in and kisses him softly.

"I really like you too, Dick." She said shyly.

"I wish you didn't have to leave. But I know you need to. I can't wait for our date tomorrow night." Dick said as he gave her a sly grin.
"Oh, it's a date now," She said jokingly. Honestly, Mac had wanted it to be a date; she just didn't want him to know that.
"Of course. It has always been a date."

The next night they went to dinner and walked on the beach. Dick enjoyed being with Mac. It felt perfect and complete. They wanted to date each other, but Mac felt that they should keep it a secret. She was worried that other people would think she only wanted Dick for his money. Mac also was afraid that people would make Dick realize that he was better then her. He reluctantly agreed. Dick had wanted to shout it from the rooftops when Mac agreed to date him.

They had been together for a year and their real estate business was doing very well. The two decided to buy a penthouse condo and move in together. Mac loved Dick but hadn't thought seriously about marrying him. That was until a week ago when she realized she was two and a half weeks late. Mac made a Doctor's appointment for the Monday after Veronica's visit. Dick will be coming home from visiting his mom Monday Night. If Mac was pregnant she needed to tell him when he got home. She was nervous, Mac had no idea how Dick would react. She knew Dick would be a great dad, she was hoping for the best. However she was afraid for the worse.

Mac got back from her appointment and went to planning dinner. She decided to have it themed. When Dick came home that and saw the table set for two. There was candlelight, champagne, and soft music. Mac had made baby back ribs, baby carrots, with baby red potatoes.

"Wow, Babe you didn't have to go to all this trouble!" Dick was amazed to come home to something so perfect.

"Well it's a special occasion. I missed you!" They sat down at the table Dick opened the champagne and started to pour some for Mac.

"No champagne for me," Mac said shyly. Then Mac continued, "Do you notice a theme with the food?"

Dick looked at it all and notices also that everything had to do with "baby" or "mini".

"Well I don't know if it's going to work." Dick paused and Mac felt her heart sink. Dick continued, "I don't think buying a Mini Cooper would be a good idea."

"What? I'm not getting a Mini Cooper." She stopped wondering if she should continue. Mac decided it couldn't hurt to just tell him.

"I'm pregnant, Dick."

"You're pregnant?! You're…" Dick was stunned.

"Yes, I'm 8 weeks along." Mac said quietly. It sounded like her fears were coming true. She couldn't say anything else; Mac was too worried to continue. A baby wasn't in the plan, at least right now with then not married.

Dick looked at her and he had a big smile on his face. "Babe, you're pregnant. Are you okay? Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm fine. But are you okay, with this?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course! I'm so happy. I mean I'm going to be a dad!" Dick said in awe as he walked over to Mac and pulled her into a big hug.

Mac was so happy that her fears didn't come true. They spent the rest of that night gushing and hoping about their little baby.

Keith

Keith had been working hard on Logan's case, but didn't have much luck until Veronica came home to Neptune. Before she had left with Logan, Veronica told her dad what she thought. Keith agreed that The Fitzpatricks were keeping Lynn away. Veronica gave her dad the number for Amber Weitzel. She was a co-worker of Veronica's at the FBI. Amber owed Veronica a favor and Veronica knew the way to cash in. So Keith called Amber, he told her who he was and asked for her help locating Lynn. The day after, Keith received the information from Amber.

Lynn was in Constanta, Romania. She was living under the alias as Bianca Dimir owner of Dimir Vineyards. Keith went online and ordered a plane ticket to Constanta. He knew that he needed to find Lynn and talk to her.

17 hours later Keith was driving into Constanta, heading to Dimir Vineyards. He knew that Lynn would try to be evasive but he had to get her talking. He drove through the gate at the vineyard and walked into the main building that had the offices and showroom. Keith was walking through the showroom looking at all the products offered when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"No, But maybe I can help you. " Keith said as he turned around to face Lynn.

She hadn't changed a bit since Keith last saw her and he wondered how no one recognized her.

"Keith! What are you doing here?!" She asked as she pulled him into her office and closed the door. When they were out of earshot she continued.

"I told Logan not to try and find me. How did you?" she asked.

"Veronica, with her connections at the FBI; we know what's going on with The Fitzpatricks. We can help you; you just need to let us. Come back to Neptune." Keith pleaded.

"I can't. If I do they said that they will kill Logan. They have already killed; Besides Logan is better off without me." Lynn exclaimed.

"No he isn't. You know what got Logan and Veronica together in the first place? It was you. He knew that you weren't dead, so he asked Veronica to help him. They have been together off and on ever since. I hope this time they last. They love each other ardently. Logan has grown into a fine young man. He is so protective of my daughter and loves her, it make me happy. I know you feel that you weren't a good mother to him, but he is someone to be proud of. Come back and be a better mother. Logan is happy but he would be happier if you were home."

When Keith was finish Lynn was speechless. She knew about Logan's life but she always thought he would be better off without her. However hearing Keith talk about Logan makes her want to know the man her son grew up to be. She was worried though. Seeing the worried look on her face, Keith continued.

"We can protect you, Lynn; if you let us. Veronica's colleagues at the FBI have a plan to keep you safe." He paused then pulled out an airplane ticket out of his jacket pocket and set it on her desk. Then pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and began writing.
"This is where I'm staying. The flight leaves at 7 am. Please for Logan's sake think about it. We will keep you safe, I promise." Keith gave her the paper and left the vineyard.

Lynn stayed in her office for six hours after Keith left, thinking about her choice. She wanted to go home more than anything. Lynn needed to see her son but she was still afraid. However she knew what she needed to do. At 9:30 pm she called Keith's hotel room with her decision made.

"Hello, Keith. It's Lynn. I'm coming back with you." she said. Keith smiled to himself, He was happy that Logan was getting his mother back.

"Great Lynn I will call Veronica so we can get everything set up so you will be safe. Now get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning." Keith said with relief.

On the flight Back to California Keith asked Lynn what happened to make her leave. She decided if Keith was going to help her than she could trust him, so she told her tale.

Lynn was in a car with her agent and close friend Phillip Abrams. He asked if they could make a stop before going back to his office to go over some paper work for a new part. They stopped at a shady office complex a block from The River Stixx. Phillip got out of the car and walked in. After 45 minutes he still hadn't come back so Lynn decided to go find him. She walked around for what felt like an eternity when she came to a room with people talking in it. Talking was more like screaming. One voiced asked Phillip where his money was. "I don't have it yet, Liam. But I can get for you; I just need a week, please."

"I have a better idea" Liam said as he raised his .45 and shot Phillip in the chest. Lynn stifled a scream, but Liam faintly heard it, and opened the door wider.

"Well, what do we have here? Lynn Echolls" Liam said smiling.

"Please, don't hurt me. I won't tell anyone I promise." She pleaded.

"That's right you won't. Here is what you are going to do. You will pay me the money that your late agent owes me with interest and then you will leave the state and never come back. Hell, leave the country for all I care; but the day you come back is the day we kill you, the rest of your family and anyone else you are close to." He yelled and with each yell she flinched. Lynn was trying to hold back her tears as she stood there shaking.

"How much?" she asked.

Lynn left and started planning; she knew she had to make it so no one would come looking for her. A week later she paid Liam all the money owed, faked her death and left Neptune.
