Chapter 35….

Adam was sitting on the couch,staring at his wedding-picture,when he heard a noise behind him and saw m.j. coming into the room;"Hey."

"Hey."answered adam looking up;"Couldn't you sleep?"

"No,not really."said his wife with a faint smile;"Too much on my mind I guess,adam,how about you?"

"The same I guess."started he with a guilty look;"I'm sorry about kissing you earlier and I didn't mean to make things worse for you."

"You didn't."answered m.j. hesitating as she came up closer to him;"To be honest,adam,I wanted you to kiss me."

"You did?"asked her husband surprised;"But still I shouldn't have,because it must be confusing enough just being here with everybody,who do know you but who you can't remember,m.j."

"You don't have to be so hard on yourself,because it was just a kiss and it's not like you jumped all over me or something."said she,trying to make a joke;"It sucks not being able to remember and I wish I could wake up in the morning and have my memory back again,because then things could get back to normal again."

"I wish that could happen too,because do you have any idea how hard it is being here with you and not really being able to be with you if you know what I mean?"started adam tired;"It's driving me insane!"

"Then maybe me being here isn't the answer right now."answered his wife with a hurt look in her eyes;"If me being here is making things this difficult for you then maybe I should stay somewhere else untill I remember everything again?"

"No,that's not what I meant and I don't want you to go."said he surprised about her reaction and grabbed her hand;"Please,honey,I really don't want you to go."

"I don't want to go either,but if it's too hard for you then maybe I should."began m.j. softly as she turned her wheelchair around and went back to the guestroom;"Goodnight,adam."

The next day nick woke up from a strange dream about him and his ex-girlfriend,so confused he got up and went to take a shower.

As he was taking a shower he began to daydream again….

Nick was standing in the shower with his eyes closed,while the water ran down his body,when suddenly somebody got into the shower with him and he felt fingers running smoothly down his back,so he opened his eyes and turned around.

"Hey."smiled cathy as she stood there infront of him,naked,and put her arms around his neck as she firmly pulled nick's body up against her;"Can I join you?"

"Cat…."started her ex-boyfriend confused and also turned on as he felt her fingers running through his hair and slowly moving downwards,down his neck and across his back and shoulders;"What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?"whispered she into his ear and began to play with his ear with her tongue as she gently began to kiss him while her hands reached the front of his body,playing with his skin;"Do you want me to leave?"

"No!"answered nick,putting his arms around her waist and kissed her as they began to make love right there in the shower…

Still enjoying his daydream in the shower nick hadn't noticed the banging on the door untill he heard his youngest sister's angry voice from the other side of the door,which brought him back to reality;"Damn it,nick,hurry up because there are more people who want to take a shower!"

"Sorry,lin,I'll be out in a minute."answered her brother quickly as he quickly changed the temperature of the shower to cold.

Strangly enough nick wasn't the only one who was having a dream like that,because cathy who was still asleep was dreaming about her and nick too.

Waking up from a sound cathy opened her eyes and was surprised to see nick laying next to her with nothing on;"What are you doing here,nick,how did you get in?"

"Does it matter?"smiled he,gently touching her stomach with his fingers,playing with her naked skin and slowly moving upwards towards her breasts;"Do you want me to go?"

"No."said cathy with a faint smile as nick's fingers drove her crazy and looked into his eyes;"But I don't understand…"

"Ssssh,no talking."whispered her ex into her ear and began kissing her neck as he moved his body on top of her;"I've missed you,cat."

"I've missed you too."smiled she and kissed him back while she let her fingers run up and down his back;"I love you!"

Then the dream came to an end when her roommate's alarm went off in the next room and cathy woke up,cursing the damn alarm;"Damn it!"

Still all hot and shivering from the dream cathy got out of bed to take a shower and couldn't help it feel confused about her dream.

At mary's place lacey walked in with mary while Kathleen and Cheryl were already opening up;"Goodmorning."

"Goodmorning."said her aunt-in-law and turned around;"How's jesse doing?"

"Okay,under the circumstances."answered lacey with a faint smile;"He's happy that his mother is still alive,kathleen,but it's also weird because she can't remember anything and that part is eating away at jesse."

"It's difficult for everybody."started she slowly;"But maybe being here will trigger m.j.'s memory and it will all come back to her again soon."

"Maybe."said her mother;"Does anybody know if adam is planning something for devon's birthday,tomorrow?"

"I have no idea and I'm not even sure if devon wants something done for her birthday."began Cheryl softly;"I asked her what she wanted for her birthday a few days ago and she said that she didn't want anything and that she wasn't planning on doing anything about it either,mama."

"But how can she not do anything about it?"asked she surprised;"This is the first birthday in years that devon's home again and that we have a chance to celibrate it with her,Cheryl,especially with m.j. being alive and well now."

"I know,mama,but if devon doesn't want to do anything about it then I don't think we should."answered her youngest daughter hesitating;"We shouldn't force it on her."

"Why don't we talk to adam about it and see how he feels."said Kathleen;"I'll ask him later on and then we can decide what to do."

Around lunchtime at hospital sage was waiting in her office for justin to pick her up at the hospital when carl showed up again;"Your time is up,babe!"

"Don't call me that,carl,i already told you that I wasn't gonna pay you or let you see luke!"started sage angry and was stuned when carl suddenly pulled her into his arms as he kissed her and tried to push him away;"What the…?"

"Hmmm."smiled he and let her go;"That tasted like more."

"What the hell is going on here?"asked an angry voice from the doorway and when sage turned around she saw justin standing there,looking really mad;"Well?"

"That wasn't what you think it was!"said his girlfriend shocked and grabbed justin's arm when he wanted to walk away;"Wait!"

"For what?"answered he angry;"For you to explain to me what you're doing with this guy?"

"I'm her ex."started carl with a big grin on his face;"I'm luke's father."

"Shut up!"warned his ex him furious and pushed him out of the way as she saw justin walking away;"Justin!"

"Save it!"said justin and kept on walking away from sage;"I don't want to hear it,sage,have fun together!"

"You son of a bitch!"began she upset as she turned back towards carl and slapped him against his face;"You set this whole thing up,didn't you?"

"I warned you yesterday about giving me what I want and you didn't wanna listen!"laughed he while he walked away too;"Now this is done I'm gonna fight for custody of luke!"
