"I don't think I've ever been in a house with so many rooms." Travis said as Gabi and him came down the stairs.
"Well sometimes I think that most of these rooms are a waste, it's not like we ever use them for anything." Gabi said as she sat down on the couch.
Travis sat down next to her. "Well what would you prefer your family do with the rooms?"
"I don't know, maybe rent them out or something. I mean I'd be happy with a little house or a cottage. There are only four of us and we don't need this much space."
"But it's nice to have it, believe me. If you had to live as close to your family as I do, I think you would go insane."
"Well it's been just my dad, my grandmother and me for a while and we've still managed to become close but maybe if we lived in a smaller house, I'd get to know my mother better."
"Who says you need a small house to get to know your mother? I think you can do just fine in a mansion."
"Well you seem to have more faith in my relationship with my mother than I do."
"Well I know how you are when you really want something and from what I can tell your mother is the same way, so I have no doubt that the both of you will be fine."
"I love that you can have that much faith in me, the way you always have." Gabi said smiling.
"It's not hard, you've always proven to me to be worth my faith."
"And so have you."
"So what are you going to do now that you are free man?" Ivy asked as she came in to the room Sam was staying in.
"I don't know, hope and pray that she doesn't burn everything I own when she gets home, out of revenge." Sam said smiling.
"That doesn't sound like Grace, that sounds like me." Ivy said sitting down on the bed.
"It does seem to fit the whole poison ivy name doesn't it?"
"Well I didn't get that name for nothing, you know."
"I know but that was before…"
"Before what?"
"Before you became… well let's just say the whole poison ivy thing doesn't suit you anymore."
"It doesn't?" Ivy asked confused.
"Yeah, you're not the same Ivy that used to work to ruin my marriage."
"Yeah not one of my better plans, I see."
"No it wasn't but I guess you got what you wanted any way, my marriage is ruined."
"But you're not happy, that was the only thing I didn't want."
"I never said I wasn't happy. I just… it'll take me a little while to accept that I don't have a wife to go home to. Not that I have wanted to go home to her any time soon but… I've spent most of my life married to some one else and to now suddenly not be married to anyone, I don't really know what to do. You want to give me some pointers?"
"You want the Ivy Crane Book on what to do after a divorce?"
"Would you tell me?"
"Sure I guess. Well first I got my son to make sure I got all the Crane money, then I told my son and my x-lover that they were father and son. I moved my son and his daughter into the mansion that was newly mine. I made sure that my x-husband's sister knew she could stay on the property and then I just I kept living."
"Well I can't do any of that stuff and I'm kind of glad I think."
"Yeah well I never said the Ivy Crane planned worked, it's just what I did. Plus my x was in jail so that helped."
"Well Grace isn't in jail." Sam pointed out.
"And she's not Julian thank God because if being married to Grace was anything like being married to Julian then I feel really sorry for you."
"No I don't think it was as bad as being married to Julian but I still don't think my marriages is going to go down as one of the best marriages ever."
"So what? You've got another chance now. Go find your self a bride, that you love and have one of the best marriages ever."
"Well I don't think I'll have to look very far at all." Sam said looking at Ivy.
"Well that is not a party I'm soon going to forget." Noah said as Simone and him entered their house.
"I know your parents being over must hurt." Simone said trying to be nice.
"No, it doesn't. I think I've been waiting for this for a long time."
"Really why?"
"Because my parents aren't the same people that they were when I was growing up you know? And because of that, they're not in love with each other any more either."
"And you're ok with this?"
"Not really but I've grown to accept it. Ok let's please stop talking about my parents and their failed relationship and let's talk about us and our very successful relationship." Noah said smiling.
"About that… there's something I've got to tell you." Simone said nervously.
"Ok, what is it? Is something wrong?" Noah asked trying to act like he didn't already know.
"It's just… I'm pregnant, Noah. We're going to have a baby." Simone said as she let out a sigh.
"How long have you know?"
"A couple of days… weeks…" Simone said nervously.
"And why haven't you told me all ready?" Noah asked shocked.
"Because I was scared about how you'd react but you're surprisingly calm." Simone said suspiciously.
"Well I'm happy, I've always wanted kids you know that."
"Right but… wait Kay told you or wait maybe Jessica told you. Which one told you?" Simone asked mad.
"Am I really that bad of an actor and it was Jessica?"
"Yes and your sister is bad at keeping secrets."
"She didn't mean to, it slipped. Just like Kay slipped about her being pregnant."
"Who Kay?" Simone asked confused.
"Wait you didn't know? OK, I'm going to um… not say anything."
Simone started to think. "Wait Jessica's pregnant?"
"I didn't say a thing!" Noah put his hands up.
"Wait why didn't she tell me? I mean when I told her about me she didn't say anything."
"Why did you tell Jessica and Kay about you being pregnant but you didn't tell me?"
"Well they came to the doctor's with me and when I came out, they wanted to know, it's not like I could lie to them."
"I guess but maybe that's what happened with Jessica and Kay, maybe Kay was with Jessica when she found out."
"That could of happened. How about let's forget about your sisters for a second and just think about us. So are you happy that we're having a baby?"
"Yes, I'm very happy." Noah said smiling.
"Ethan, come on say something." Theresa said as she followed him into the mansion. "You were completely silent the whole way home."
"Gabi!" Ethan screamed.
"What are you doing?" Theresa asked confused.
"I getting Gabi down here to tell her that Travis can't stay here." Ethan said. "Gabi!" He screamed again.
"But you can't, you're going to devastate her. You don't know how happy she was to hear that we'd let Travis here." Theresa pleaded.
"Well this may shock you Theresa but being a parent doesn't always mean you do what makes your child happy."
"I know that, Ethan but come on. I already told her he could stay."
"Which you shouldn't have done!"
"Why not?"
"Because you have no right to make decisions like that."
"Yes I do I'm her mother."
"And I'm her father who hasn't been gone her whole life, unlike you."
"You act like I did that on purpose!"
"No, I know you didn't but what I'm trying to say is you just can't come back after thirteen years and make decisions like that!"
"No you just don't want me making decisions that you don't like!"
"No that's not it! I just… you can't just make decisions like this that affect my family!"
"Your family?! It's my family too, Ethan. At least I thought it was."
"It's I just want you to not… to not make big decision like this with out consulting me first."
"Why would I? You were already going to say no and I didn't want to hear you say it."
"So you went behind me back and said yes to something you knew I didn't want to say yes to?"
"No I acted like Gabi's mother and made a decision that as her parent I can make."
"You have not clue what being Gabi's parent means, you couldn't possibly."
"Right I'm just completely clueless when it comes to my own daughter right?"
"I wasn't going to say it but yes you are."
"Fine! Then me and my clueless self are leaving!" Theresa said as she walked out the door.
"You shouldn't have done that!" Gabi yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Gabi, wait…" Ethan started to say.
"No, I'm going after my mother, don't come after me." Gabi said as she ran out stairs.
Ethan sat down on the steps. "I handled that one really well." He told him self sarcastically.
"Well I'm guessing from what I just heard that you might need someone to talk?" Sam asked as he came down the stairs.
"I was that loud?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, Travis is hiding some where's and your mother well she sent me down here."
"Great so got any good advice?"
"Is there any chance you'll listen to it?" Sam asked sitting down next to him.
"Depends on what you've got to say." Ethan said.
