Sorry for the delay in posting. RL has been crazy.

I don't own the characters.

Margret Rose Plum is such a good baby. She only cries when she needs a diaper change or is hungry. I am breast feeding. That was strange at first but we both have the hang of it now. Mary Lou left a few days ago. She was a big help to me while she was here. I have been a little depressed since she left.

I have talked to HIM almost every day. I am glad to have my friend back. We have not talked about out relationship other than friendship again. He thinks I should return to Trenton and Dante be damned. He hasn't lived with him and doesn't know what he is capable of. We are thinking I could get a restraining order based on the threatening emails Dante has sent. He is going to talk to a judge that owes him a favor.

I talked to Lula and told her about Maggie Rose. I told her she could tell Tank. I miss them both.

My dad is here. He brought gifts from Mary Lou, Lula and Tank. We are having a good visit. He adores Maggie Rose and she is very comfortable with him. I dread when he leaves. I will be so lonely for home again.

October 31

Halloween! I am going to miss dressing up and giving out candy at my parent's house. Tammy and I found a newborn Rose outfit for Maggie to wear. She looked so cute. I am looking forward to taking my baby around the Burg next year.

November 5

Plans are in the works for Maggie and me to go home. I want to be home for her first Christmas. I want to be able to take my baby to Midnight Mass. I want to have her christened in the church I was christened in. I have asked Mary Lou and Lula to share godmother duties and Lenny and Tank will be her godfather's.

List of things I need to have in the works or complete before we can go home.

1. Restraining order against Dante

2. A place to live.

3. new car

4. Job - I can't go back to Vinnie's.

5. Furniture

My dad finally told my mother, Val and Albert everything. It really is a relief to me.

Plan are underway for the restraining order. Joe and Ranger got together and came up with a plan. Mary Lou and Lenny are coming to get me next week. We are going to travel to Philly and meet Angie Morelli and Grandma Bella at Joe's sister Cathy's house. They are going to take care of Maggie while I continue to Trenton to take care of all the legal issues I need to. I had two options..Philly with Joe's mom or Newark with Ranger's. Since I have known the Morelli's my entire life I felt like that was the best option. Not exactly excited about Grandma Bella caring for Maggie but at least Angie and Cathy will be there. I would like to have my mother or Val there but the guys thought it would be less obvious to Dante if they were in town when I arrived.

I have talked to HIM every night. It relief that he is helping me. He suggested that I put his name on Maggie's birth certificate and we tell everyone we were having an affair while I was with Dante. I guess with my track record some people may believe that. He even went so far as to send me a diaper bag with the initials MRM on it.

In preparation for the restraining order I have copies of all the threatening emails Dante has sent me since I left Trenton on March. My dad has also picked copies off my medical records detailing the times I went to the ER while we were together. There are pictures as well. I don't think getting the order is going to be an issue...Dante not breaking it may be an issue.

I am getting nervous about going home. I have been able to settle a few things. My dad found a furnished apartment that is secured by Rangeman for Maggie and I to move into. He signed a month by month lease so I would have time to look for a permanant place after everythins is settled with Dante.

My grandmother sold old blue and bought me a Ford Explorer. So the car issue is taken care of.

Two more days and we head to Philly.
