Season Two, Episode Eight
Lindsay stared at the words written on her phone… Her first reaction had been one of shock. She had been very careful when planning this elaborate revenge scheme. She had left no evidence. Years of plotting and backstabbing had taught her to not leave a trace…and she had succeeded at getting away with murder for years because of it…but what if there was a rock left unturned that she hadn't seen…If someone discovered what she had done then she would not only be sent back to prison with a far worse criminal offense than before but she would surely lose her chance at turning Bo against Nora and sending him into her arms…she couldn't let that happen…not for anything…
After searching for an identification number and finding it unavailable, she simply responded with "Who the hell are you…identify yourself or I am going to the cops."
Todd looked at the response and couldn't help but laugh. He was getting to her. Time to toy with her some more…just a little more rope and she would hang herself. "You're not going to the cops and we both know it. You can't risk having the commissioner find out what you did to his wife…not when you want in his pants…It's not so fun being fucked with is it…maybe you should have thought about that before you played sadistic games with the D.A…"
"It's you isn't it…I know you escaped…now you're trying to gaslight me…It's not going to work Nora…You can take your blackmail and go straight to hell."
"Are you sure you want to take that chance…what if you're wrong…what if I'm not who you think I am…
"Who else would want to hurt me?"
Todd made a disgusted face as he responded. Of course she would play the victim role. "A Good Samaritan…"
"Who are you," she asked again, a little more desperate?
"I'm your worst nightmare…I'll make sure you pay for what you did…but you won't know when it's coming…I sure hope your little scheme was worth it…Now you are going to lose so much more then she did…I know where you live."
This time when Lindsay asked who he was and what he wanted, she got no response. She was starting to get very, very scared. Whoever was blackmailing her had every intention of toying with her. This sure wasn't part of the plan, she mumbled to herself as she walked into the cave in a bad mood. Lindsay barely had time to register Margret as the baby bear began to bite her.
"What the hell," Lindsay said, as she tried to strike the bear.
"Don't hit him…He's just teething," Margret said, as she prepared herself to strike, in defense of her "baby."
XOXOXO
"That was just what I needed. I love you so much," Victor stated as he wrapped his arms around her.
"It was what I needed too. Thank you for giving me a good memory and reminding me what it feels like to be loved," she stated as she kissed him.
"I'm going to go start the shower, so that we can get cleaned up together," Victor stated.
Marty grabbed her phone and saw a missed call from Todd. She placed it up to her ear and listened to the voice mail that he had left earlier.
"Marty, it's Todd...I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to do everything that I can to help Bo find Nora. I love you so much and I want you to remember that I would do anything for you and that you can always come to me with any fears or insecurities that you have. I have to go, I see Bo. Bye baby," she heard Todd say and then the message was over.
"Oh God...what have I done," Marty asked herself? She had betrayed Todd...he loved her and he didn't deserve this.
"Victor, I can't take a shower with you...I... we can't do this anymore," Marty stated as she began to throw on her clothes.
"Marty, what's wrong? What happened," Victor asked as he walked out of the bathroom and saw Marty frantically dressing.
"Todd called...we shouldn't have done this Victor and we can't let it happen again."
"Marty, do you...do you regret sleeping with me," Victor asked as he walked over to her and grabbed her hand?
"It was wonderful Victor and it was everything that I...that we both needed to feel whole again and I will always be grateful that we could help each other heal, but I shouldn't have turned to you for help. I should have let Todd help me through this."
"Todd wouldn't have been able to help you because of all of the pain that he's caused you and if you were honest with yourself then you would admit that you don't trust Todd not to hurt you again. Stay here with me...let me take care of you...please Marty," Victor pleaded.
"I will always love you Victor, but I love Todd too and I need to try and make things work with him for our family's sake. You have a good thing going with Tea...you should let her help you. She loves you and I know that you love her too, so don't give up on what you two have because of what Margaret did to you," Marty stated as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and then pulled away from him and headed towards the exit.
"Please, please don't go Marty."
"I have to. Things are over between us Victor...please stay away from me," Marty stated as she left, shutting the door behind her.
She placed her hand on the door and cried. Leaving Victor had been one of the hardest things that she had ever had to do, but she needed to find a way to stay away from him. She owed that much to Todd and to their child.
XOXOXO
When Marty walked in the door, she saw Todd standing there waiting for her. Before he could start questioning her about where she had been, she asked him about Nora. "Where's Nora? Is she okay? Did you and Bo find her," Marty asked.
"Yes," Todd replied. "Nora's safe. She was rescued and she's with her family now, but she should NOT be disturbed."
Marty frowned as Todd began to paint a "rosie" picture of Nora's rescue. Something about his wording caused her to be suspicious. She had a feeling that Todd was keeping something from her. "If Nora's fine, I am going to call her and ask her if I can go over and see her," Marty stated.
"No! No, you can't call her," Todd said quickly, as he tried to stop Marty from going to the phone.
"What is it you aren't telling me?" she demanded.
Todd scowled when he heard Marty's question. He had a few questions of his own to ask. "Wait a minute. What about you? Where have YOU been... and why did you look so flustered when you walked in the door?" Todd asked her "What are you not telling ME, Marty?"
"I... was worried about Nora so I went for a walk."
Staring into her eyes, Todd didn't believe her. "Marty, I wish you'd be honest with me," he grumbled.
"You're the one keeping secrets. I wish that you would be honest with ME. I know that you are lying about Nora. I'm going to go see Nora... so you may as well tell me what happened."
XOXOXO
After Nora woke up from the emergency surgery, she was immediately set up for an ultrasound. With all she had been through, they needed to be sure that her child was okay. Bo felt utterly helpless as his wife lay in a hospital bed completely broken.
"What is it," he asked, when he noticed the look on Larry's face? "Please tell me our child is still with us?"
"You're having twins…I don't know why we didn't see this before but there are two babies in there…"
"Twins," Nora asked through tears? "Are they…are they okay…are my babies okay?"
Bo squeezed Nora's hand in a gesture of support, not knowing what else to do.
"So far they seem to be hanging on but I can't promise you a good outcome…believe me I wish I could…after all you have been through. I will need to monitor you very closely now. A lot of it will depend on your health and your recovery."
"And what are we looking at Larry…how bad is Nora's condition?"
"From what I was able to tell so far, she has a broken jaw and leg. She also had internal bleeding from perforated bowel syndrome…I'm guessing from all the torture she sustained. Luckily the surgery helped to stop the bleeding. She also has an infection in her vagina. I'm not going to lie to you. It's very serious. It appears that whatever instruments they used were not sterilized."
Bo wiped the tears from his eyes as he looked over at Nora…he could see her breaking and it made him hurt for her. She had been through so much already. He wanted to help her but he didn't know how.
"What else?" Bo asked.
"We're going to have to do a rape kit. "
"No…No…not the speculum…please not another speculum…"
"Nora, I know that this is hard for you but we need to test you…not just for physical evidence but for your own safety…"
"I can't do this…I can't let you touch me that way…they used one…they used one to torture me…over and over again…"
Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks as she thought about those moments…"I would rather die then be touched that way again…please…please don't touch me…"
Bo couldn't stand to see his wife hurt this way. He wished he could take it all away for her.
"I wish to God that I could do this for you but I can't. Red, you need to do this. You need to because we need to know what we are dealing with."
"Please don't make me do this…please don't make me go back there."
"I will be with you the whole time. You can strike out at me if you need to. Please Red. Please let them help you."
Nora hadn't exactly given them her permission but she had stopped fighting it. Bo could tell that she was numbing herself even further but he hoped to God that once they knew what they were dealing with they could help her. Watching his wife suffer was the hardest thing he had ever had to do. He had never been good at watching her cry.
Bo stepped out into the hallway after the test was done and Larry informed him that it appeared that Nora's PTSD may be getting worse and they needed to do further tests. A little while later, Larry came back into the room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but this couldn't wait," Larry informed them.
"Do you have my test results?" Nora asked him, tears in her eyes.
"I do. I have the results of your STD tests. I'm afraid it's not good."
XOXOXO
Cristian could see how upset Jessica was but he didn't want her to risk her health so he sat down at her bedside with Bree and they held her hands.
"It's going to be all right Jess. The doctors have already begun testing your family. You have survived so much already. You can survive this. "
"You can have my lucky giraffe that Cris won me at the zoo mommy. It will make you feel better."
Jessica smiled as Bree gave her the giraffe. "Thank you sweetie…I feel better already. "
"There's something else you should know Jess…Your sister was involved in the car accident too."
"What…Well is she okay?"
"Last I head the doctors didn't know if she would walk again."
"Oh God…Cris, will you go check on her for me. We've had our problems but I would never want anything bad to happen to her. Please tell her I love her. "
"You get some rest and Bree and I will go check on Natalie…how does that sound Bree…You want to see your aunt Natalie?"
"Yeah…Yeah I do," Bree said as she jumped off the bed and took Cristian's hand. As they walked out the door, they blew Jessica as kiss. When Cristian left, Brody came in to see Jessica.
"You up for visitors?" he asked her.
"Come in," she said. Brody took an awkward seat at her bedside. "Do you think this will ever get easier?" Brody asked.
"It should…Maybe it's time we put the past behind us…For whatever reason we weren't meant to be. "
"I never meant to hurt you Jess. I hope you know that."
"I know Brody. And I'm tired of wasting so much time being mad at you and Natalie. I wish you nothing but the best."
"I wish you the same thing...Does Cristian make you happy?"
"He really does…and I love him so much."
"Then we both ended up where we were supposed to be…"
"Yeah…Yeah, I guess we did," She said as she gave him a hug.
In another hospital room, Cristian and Bree walked in to see Natalie.
"Aunt Natalie," Bree said as she jumped onto the hospital bed and hugged her. "Hey sweetie…how's your mommy doing?"
"She's awake now."
"Oh that's wonderful. "
"I heard you were getting tested. Thank you," Cristian said.
"I would do anything for Jessica…and for you. I know how much you have always loved her."
"I loved you too Natalie."
"I know…but not as much as you love my sister. I'm happy for you guys. You always did belong together."
"I guess you belong with Brody too…does he make you happy?"
"He does."
"Then we both got what we were supposed to," he said as he hugged her. A few minutes later, Nigel and Roxie walked in with a double stroller. Natalie became so overwhelmed when she saw her son that she cried happy tears. Cristian helped Nigel hand Liam to Natalie and she held him tight.
"Mommy loves you so much baby boy," she said as she held him close to her heart.
XOXOXO
Blair had just tried to place a call to John but it went to his voice mail. Before she had a chance to leave him a message, Sam was tugging on her pant leg.
"Mommy, I want to take the stuffed kitty to Melinda now," said Sam. "Can we go please?"
Blair looked down at the pleading little face of her youngest son. She always had a tough time saying 'no' to Sam because he was such a little sweetheart. "Please Mommy," he begged. "I drew her a picture, too."
"Sam ~ honey, it's late... and Melinda might be in bed," Blair said gently.
"But giving her the stuffed kitty might help her sleep better," Sam stated as his lower lip began to tremble.
Seeing that her little boy was about to cry, Blair couldn't deny him the chance to see Melinda. "Alright, honey," she agreed. "I'll take you. But we can't stay long... it's past your bedtime."
"Alright!" Sam said with excitement. He picked up the stuffed kitty and the picture he had drawn for Melinda as he and Blair headed out the door.
As they drove over to Kelly and Joey's, Blair remembered her call to John. She decided that it would have to wait. Right now, she had to concentrate on her son.
XOXOXO
John hit the dismiss button on his phone and turned back to Aubrey. "I need you to help me cum," he stated as he pushed himself back into her waiting hole. She felt so good around his raging cock, but no matter what he did and how hard he thrust into her he couldn't cum. The phone call from Blair had made him feel too guilty and he couldn't get her disappointed face out of his mind.
"This isn't working," John stated, as he pulled out of her. "Take this, and we'll call you the next time we need a fuck toy," he said, as he handed her a bathrobe and a phone. "Now get out of here," John demanded, as he kissed her one last time.
"Aubrey, I got us a lawyer, are you okay," Carlo asked as she exited the interrogation room looking all flushed? "What happened in there?" Carlo asked.
"I don't know...I can't remember... but I think that I had fun," Aubrey stated, as she stared absentmindedly ahead.
"Fun," Carlo asked as he looked at Aubrey suspiciously? He couldn't shake the feeling that those officers had taken advantage of his Aubreykin's deteriorated mental state.
"I don't remember all the details, but we're free to go," Aubrey stated, as she grabbed Carlo's hand and headed towards the exit.
XOXOXO
After getting little Melinda to sleep, Joey and Kelly relaxed in front of the fireplace in each others arms. They were discussing their hopes and dreams for the future, now that Norman Chester was out of their lives for good. "As soon as Melinda's adoption goes thorough, maybe we could go on a family vacation," Joey suggested.
"That's a wonderful idea," said Kelly. "I just want Melinda to have a happy life."
"Me, too. That sweet little girl has been through far too much."
"Yes, she has," Kelly agreed. "And it just isn't fair."
They were cuddling when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," Kelly said, as she stood up to answer the door.
A smile came to Kelly's face, seeing that it was Blair and Sam at the door. "Is Melinda here?" Sam questioned. "I have a present for her."
"She's here, Sweetie. But she's sleeping," Kelly answered.
When the doorbell rang, Melinda had woken up. She walked into the living room and saw Sam. Her little face lit up in a big, bright smile. "Sam!" Melinda exclaimed.
"This is for you, Melinda," Sam said as he handed her the stuffed kitten.
Melinda took the stuffed kitten in her arms and hugged it tightly. It wasn't George, her favorite stuffed monkey, but it was very soft and cuddly.
"Thank you, Sam," Melinda said. "I love the kitty. It's the best present EVER."
"I made you this picture, too," Sam said, as he showed her the drawing he had made. "This is me and you."
"It's great. I am going to hang it up on my bedroom door," Melinda told him. "Thanks so much."
XOXOXO
"I can't believe you could be so irresponsible. Don't you ever think about anything but your raging hormones," Susannah complained.
"Not when you're running your mouth so I can't think period," Shaun responded.
"Oh my God, you are such a man. Of course it is always OUR fault. You can't possibly be responsible for your own actions."
"I didn't see YOU complaining. "
"Yeah well…that's not the point…you are such an arrogant pig."
"Then what does that make YOU…you were willing to crawl around in the mud with me weren't you?"
She lifted her hand to slap him but he grabbed her and lifted her up off the ground before she had a chance to. "You men are all the same. You get to fuck whoever you want, whenever you want and then walk away like it was nothing…and most of the time, you are also fucking someone else…or maybe you are just not available…you say whatever you have to in order to get us into bed and then you leave us with the consequences when you go back to your perfect little life…You are free to impregnate whoever you want because you can't be bothered to wear a damn condom."
"Somehow I don't think we are still talking about me…someone obviously turned you into the ice princess…"
"You don't know me…you don't know anything about me…"
"I know that if you don't shut up, I am going to have to use sex to shut you up again," he said, as he laid her down on the bed and kissed her.
"Oh that's attractive," Susannah complained.
"Who said anything about attraction…you hate me…I hate you…This is merely a way to stop you from giving me a headache with your constant complaining," he said.
"And what if I don't want that?"
"Oh you want it all right…It's all over your face. You want to fuck me so bad, you can't stand it."
"You jerk."
"If the shoe fits..."
He took her into the bathroom and shut the door. "You are much less annoying when your mouth is otherwise occupied," he said, as he covered her lips with his.
"I still hate you," she screamed.
"I know…and the feeling is mutual babe…time for your sponge bath."
He pulled her into the shower, shutting her up momentarily as he slammed into her under the faucet.
XOXOXO
Cole was laying down on his bed, doing his best to relax, when his phone started ringing. "Hello," he answered.
"Cole, it's me...it's Matthew. I know that it's been a long time since we talked, but I need your advice."
"What's going on," Cole asked?
"It's my mom...she was raped by Troy and Daniel. Those bastards really did a number on her and she's in the hospital."
Cole knew better then to ask if Nora was alright, because he knew that she was far from alright. He wished he could comfort Matthew and promise him that things would get better, but how could he when he didn't believe that she would be the same again. He knew that the rape would haunt her every waking thought the way that he was haunted by his own rape. He didn't know what to say, so he said the only thing that he COULD say. "I'm sorry Matthew. "
"I know...I guess I just want to know the best way to get my mom through this and I figured that since your mom was a rape survivor that you would have some advice."
"Be patient with your mom and love her unconditionally. She's going to be incredibly scarred and it's going to take her a long time to recover so my best advice is to listen to her and give her whatever she needs that will make the day easier to live through for her."
"Thanks Cole, I got to go, I want to check on her condition, but thanks for listening to me."
"No problem Matthew, I'll be here anytime you want to talk," Cole stated, as he hung up the phone.
Cole couldn't hold back his emotions any longer. He burst into tears as he hung up the phone. It wasn't fair that he and Nora had to go through this living nightmare. Would things ever get any easier for them?
"Why are you crying daddy?" Hope asked as she walked into his room carrying her teddy bear.
"Daddy's just a little sad today," Starr stated, as she entered the room behind her daughter.
"Don't be sad daddy, Teddy will take care of you," Hope stated, as she handed her favorite best stuffed animal to her dad.
"Thank you Hope," Cole stated, as he wrapped his arms around his little girl. Starr sat down on the bed next to them and pulled them both into a family hug.
XOXOXO
"I am so glad to be home, Brett stated as he walked into his apartment with his mother. He placed his samples of condoms and spermicidal foam in the bathroom.
"Brett, promise me that you'll stay away from those trashy girls. You got a clean bill of health today, but you were really lucky. I thought for certain that one of them would have given you a STD, especially that Crab girl Kim."
"Mom, she doesn't really have Crabs, she was just messing with you."
"Mmmmm-hmmmm, well if she doesn't have Crabs, I'm certain that she'll try and infect you with one of her other diseases."
"Mom, can we drop the subject please?"
"Are you going to stay away from those tramps?" Caitlyn asked again.
"No...I'm a big boy now and I can choose my own friends."
"Brett, please tell me that you don't have genuine feelings for those whores. I've told you this before, but I think that you need to hear it again. You have a great, big heart Brett, but you can't give it away to the wrong people. Love is a poison that we're better off staying away from so that we don't get hurt. I fell in love with your dad and I thought we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, but I was nearly destroyed me when he left me in the arms of that psychotic serial killer so that he could fuck the next young girl that had caught his eye. I don't want to see you end up like me Brett, so do us both a favor and stay away from love...it brings nothing but heartache and pain," Caitlyn cautioned.
XOXOXO
Dani had been freaking out about what Brett's mom had said. Could she really be pregnant? She and Brett had failed to use protection. On her way back from Brett's, she had picked up a pregnancy test.
She took the test in the privacy of her own bathroom. She was now waiting in her bedroom for the result. She was staring at the little stick when her mother walked in. Dani glared at Tea in annoyance.
"Mom, what are you doing in here? Why don't you knock?" Dani demanded.
"Dani, ohhh my God!" Tea screamed hysterically. "What is that?! Are- are you pregnant?!"
Tea was clutching her swollen stomach as she stared at her daughter's pregnancy test. In that same moment, Victor walked in. Dani nearly dropped the pregnancy test when Victor approached.
"What's all the yelling about?" Victor demanded. "What the HELL'S going on in here?"
