Chapter 10
I disclaim.
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, but I've been REALLY busy with school and stuff. Last we left off Roman figured out Kate needed time before they could have a relationship, Sami and Lucas are on pretty good terms and he's starting to fall in love with her. The teens are all going to dinner, Iris just met the twins and is starting to have memory flashes from her childhood.
*** IMPORTANT!!!! *** Ok, now, I hope I don't cause any confusion, but I'm having Brady and Chloe dating. I've gone back and redid chapter 2, you don't need to read it, but it just makes it so that they're over that whole awkward thing now. I'm also skipping the teen dinner thing, because honestly, it would have been really boring. Lots of small talk and boring conversation. So, it's gone. Also, the twins aren't in Salem U, not in the dorms or taking classes. Basically, everything that's happening on the show, Hope missing, John Tony's brother, not happening. Are you lost yet?
Iris sipped her coffee as she read the morning edition of the "Salem Spectator". "'Local Girl Gets Transplant Needed', this is news? Lord this is a small town if that's their front page news."
"What are you reading?"
Iris looked up and saw Rex and Cassie reading over her shoulder. She cringed; these twins were not her favorite people. And she hated people reading over her shoulder. "The newspaper, though I'm sure you can tell. Is there something you need?"
"We know her." Cassie said.
"Who?" These twins are nuts, Iris thought.
"Chloe. She's really nice; she's friends with Belle and Shawn. She was sick." Cassie pointed to the article in the paper.
"Ok, well, as fascinating as this it, I've got to go. I have to get to school, I already missed the first semester here, and I can't very well miss the second." Iris put the paper down, drank the last of her coffee and made her way up to her room.
Iris grabbed her duffle bag and slung it over her shoulder, Bart had already dropped the rest of her stuff off at the dorm this morning.
As she walked downstairs she saw Lexie talking to someone.
"Lexie?" Iris stepped into the room and smiled at her sister.
"Iris?" The two hugged, "Tony told me you got in yesterday, I'm sorry I didn't see you then. I didn't come home till late, I was comforting a friend."
"That's fine. I'd love to stay and talk but I have a lot to do today. I need to get myself settled in my dorm and I think I have class. But, how about we get together for lunch tomorrow? I should be free then."
"Sounds good. Oh, I'm so rude. Iris, this is my mother, Celeste. Mother, Iris." They shook hands.
"It's very nice to meet you darling." Celeste said.
"You too. You remind me of someone, have we met before?" Iris asked.
"Uh, no, sorry. I, uh. I don't usually forget Stefano's children. You all have very, um, shall I say, distinct features."
"Oh, um, ok. I have to go. It was nice meeting you. I'll see you tomorrow Lex." Iris left the house with an annoying sense of déjà vu. "I know I've seen her before. . . what did you do to me father?"
~~At the Black Penthouse~~
* Knock Knock *
"Coming!" John opened the door. "Can I help you?" He asked the young man.
"Are you John Black?"
"Yes, and you are?"
"Um. Can I come in? What I have to say to you may surprise you." The young man swayed nervously.
"Whatever you have to say to me, you can say out here. Now you didn't answer my question. Who are you? On second thought, what do you want?" John eyed the visitor suspiciously.
"Um, my name is Ryan Sonte. I'm your nephew."
John looked at the young man, tall, more than 6 foot, brown eyes, brown hair, and a similar complexion to his own. Could he actually have family?
"No." He shook the ridiculous notion out of his head, "I don't have any family. You must be mistaken. I'm sorry." John went to close the door, but Ryan put his foot down.
"I am your nephew! Please! I know this is hard to believe but my mother Sarah was your sister! You both worked for the DiMera organization. Just listen to me!"
DiMera was the magic word around here. "What do you know about DiMera?" John opened the door.
"Do you believe me?"
"I don't know. Come in." John let Ryan in. "What do you know about DiMera?"
"My mother, Sarah, died when I was 9. I was then sent to live with the DiMera's to guard Stefano's daughter."
"Lexie?" John was confused, a kid guarding Lexie? How old was he?
"What? No, Lexie's too old."
"Well then who the hell are you talking about? You said Stefano's daughter."
"Uh." Ryan smiled nervously.
~~Kate's Place~~
Kate paced around her apartment nervously. Roman was supposed to call this morning.
The ringing of the phone interrupted Kate's thoughts as she ran towards it. "Hello?"
"Kate? It's Raymond Grant (Executor of Stefano's will) I wanted to speak to you about something."
Kate chewed her lower lip nervously. If Raymond wanted something, it couldn't be good. "What is it?"
"Can you meet me at my office today, at around 5?"
"Yeah. I'll see you then." Kate hung up and started at the phone apprehensively. If Roman called she'd have to explain why she wouldn't be able to go out with him today. And no doubt he'd be interested in her meeting with Raymond. She turned her answering machine on and went into her bedroom to change. As she zipped up her skirt she heard the machine pick up. Roman's familiar and almost comforting voice came through the speakers.
"Hey Kate, I uh, I guess you went to work early or something. Well, I told you'd I'd call. Um, drop me a line when you get this message. Maybe we can have dinner? Bye."
The beeping of the machine signified the calls ending. Kate leaned against the wall. She was falling for Roman, and it wasn't good. She didn't trust herself around him. She couldn't hurt him and she didn't want to be hurt herself.
~~University Hospital~~
Chloe sat in her hospital bed, bored out of her mind. She wasn't allowed to get up, she couldn't eat and no one was allowed to see her.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts. "Come in."
Brady stuck his head in the room and looked around, he turned around and whispered something. He walked in, followed by Shawn, Belle, Mimi, Jason, Phillip and even Cynthia.
"Hi! What are you all doing here? I thought that no one could see me." She sat up and smiled at everyone.
"We snuck in." Brady said simply.
"Brady SNUCK us in. Craig said we weren't allowed to see you, you need your rest. So we decided to make a trip. We hope you don't mind." Belle looked at Chloe hopefully.
"No, not at all. I was hoping someone would stop by. I just didn't know it'd be so many someone's." Chloe laughed. "It's really nice of you all to come by. But, how'd you all get in?"
Everyone averted their eyes, "We have our ways." Jason said.
"Right. Anyway, I really appreciate it. Thank you." Chloe looked at Brady when she said this. Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. "Everyone, hide!"
All seven of them looked for places to hide, Brady hid under the bed, Belle and Shawn went in the closet, Jason and Mimi hid behind the cloth partition (the thing that swings around and covers the bed) and Phillip and Cynthia hid behind the door.
"Yeah, that's slick. No one will see any of you." Chloe whispered, "Who is it?"
"Craig."
"Oh, come in."
Craig came into the room and closed the door, seemingly not noticing Phillip and Cynthia hiding behind it.
* For a guy with a PhD, he's not too bright. * Chloe thought.
"Your friends came by this morning, they wanted to see you. I had to say no though. I'm sorry." Craig apologized.
"It's ok. I can see them after the surgery." Chloe glanced around the room.
"Speaking of, I need to put you to sleep."
"Now?!"
Craig looked at Chloe like she'd grown another head, "Yes, now. It's not like all your friends are hiding in the room and you wanted to say bye to them, is it?"
"What are you talking about Craig?" Chloe looked around nervously. "It's just us."
Then, as if on cue, Belle and Shawn came tumbling out of the closet.
"How'd my Belle and Shawn Sweater get in there?" Chloe smiled innocently.
"Gee, I wonder. You can all come out. Phillip, Cynthia, next time get a better spot. Behind the door is just sad." Craig turned to them.
"Sorry Dr. Wesley." Brady apologized as he climbed out.
"It's ok. I understand you were all worried about Chloe. But she's got to get prepped. Now say good bye." Craig began ushering them out.
"Bye everyone." Chloe waved and turned to Craig.
"Chloe?" Craig got her attention.
"Yes?"
"I need to put you to sleep now. Ok?" Craig pulled out a needle and put it into her arm.
She nodded and laid herself back down. Craig kissed her forehead and she was left alone with her thoughts. Brady. The one thing that she wanted to see when she woke up was Brady.
"Brady. . ." Chloe breathed out before she fell into the unconscious.
I don't know about the last scene. I'm having my doubts. I like the way my other parts are going but the teens are just being annoying. They don't want to listen to me. I think maybe I shouldn't be trying to do such a big multi couple story right off the bat. What do you think? Eh. Anyways, I think I found my muse again. But, please tell me what you think! PLEASE!!! Are you all gasping at Ryan being John's nephew? Yeah, Tony and John are not related, once again. I don't care if they share the same mother on the show; John and Tony in my story aren't related. It would be weird and ugh.
