"What the hell is going on here?" asked Bo, as he held onto his brother. "Why don't you ask him...he's the one that got my wife pregnant." Roman yelled as he pointed to John. Bo and Abe looked at John in shock, as John himself didn't know what to say. "Pregnant" asked Bo. "Kate left a message on his phone, Marlena answered it. Kate said that she was pregnant." said Roman not taking his eyes off John. "Both of you have to take is easy..." Abe started but stopped as John made his way free from Abe's grip. "Take it easy?, he slept with my wife. And yes I slept with Kate but we were trying to move on with our lives." yelled John. "If you would have listened to me in the first place John than we would be discussing this now would we?" asked Bo as he let Roman go. Heading for the door, John stopped, "We didn't think we were doing anything wrong, we thought you were dead......we thought you were dead." he said with tears falling from his eyes and his voice trembling. Shaking his head, he grabbed his phone and left.
Moments after John had left, Marlena came running into the penthouse. "Oh my god Roman, are you alright?" she asked as she ran towards him and saw the blood on his lip. "We're going to go, if you guys need anything we'll be at the pub". Bo said as he and Abe left Marlena and Roman alone. "Roman what happened?" asked Marlena, helping Roman over to the couch. "Doc, after you told me that Kate was pregnant, I came over hear to see John, he and I got into a fight...he didn't know about Kate's pregnancy.....he left". Taking his hands in hers, tears began to fall from Marlena's face, "Oh Roman..how could he do this.............how could he do this to me and to you?" Lifting her head, Roman smiled "I know how he feels.......remember when you told me I wasn't Belle's father.....it tore me apart". Marlena knew what Roman was talking about, her affair with John had ruined their marriage....and John's affair with Kate ruined everything....but they were dead. Roman held Marlena as she cried, "It's okay Doc, everything is going to be okay".
John didn't know where to go, he couldn't believe how everyone attacked him like that. 'We were moving on with our lives, they were both dead' he thought to himself. He remembered that he had promised Kate that he would call if he found anything, taking out his phone he realized he didn't have a signal, John began walking around fake Salem trying to find a signal so he could talk to Kate.
Back In Real Salem....
After being released from the hospital, Kate needed to talk to someone, Philip was off at Green Mountain Lodge with Belle so she decided that she would go and see Lucas. Figuring that he'd probably be at Sami's she headed over there.
Arriving she was about to knock when someone grabbed her shoulder, "Oh my god...Lucas don't do that." cried Kate. "Sorry Mom....what are you doing here?" asked Lucas, "Well I came to talk to you and I just figured that you'd be at Sami's." Shaking his head, he led Kate to his apartment. "No I'm not over there." he said taking a seat on the couch. Kate looked at her son, he seemed so upset, "Oh honey what's wrong?" Lucas looked at him mom and shook his head, "It's nothing really, well.......Sami got a call from Brandon and well she told him that she loved him....and I don't know, it's probably nothing..." "Oh honey, I can't believe she'd do this to you......". started Kate, "Enough about this, so what did you want to talk about?" asked Lucas looking at his mom with a curious look. "Well.......John and I.........Lucas....I'm pregnant!" she said with a smile on her face. Lucas just stared at him mom, smiling...and just as he was about to speak Sami came running into his apartment. "You slut" she screamed, running towards Kate and grabbing her hair. "I can't believe that you would do this to my father" cried Sami and she and Kate began to scream and pull each other hair. "You think I asked for this.....your father is dead Sami..." "You said you loved my dad......your sleeping with John and now your carrying his child, you slut." Pulling away from Sami, Kate tried to catch her breath, "You should be the one to talk about love, your engaged to my son, but your going around telling Brandon that you love him" yelled Kate. "That's between Lucas and Me..." cried Sami as she ran towards Kate, and just as she was about to slap her, Lucas got in front of his mom and took Sami's slap. "Oh my god Lucas" screamed Sami as she fell to her knees to help Lucas. "Thanks Sami, I really needed that." he said as he rose to his feet." Are you okay honey?" asked Kate, nodding his head he smiled. "I'm going to get going, if you need anything let me know." Kate said as she walked out the door, leaving Sami and Lucas alone.
Back On The Island
John finally found a signal, he dialed Kate's number. After several rings he was about to hang up when she picked up. "Hello?" asked Kate. "Hey Kate...It's John". "John....did....I left.......where are you?" she asked. "Well we landed on the that island Melaswen, which turns out to be New Salem. Now Kate before I tell you anymore, I want you to take a seat." Kate sat on the park bench, "okay". "All the victims are alive and ......I found Roman and Marlena...Kate their alive.....but...." he started, "Oh my god...John....but what?" John didn't want to tell her what he saw, but he knew he had too. "Kate their not the same..........thier so close not." "What do you mean?" asked Kate who's voice was shaky." Kate, they made love....I caught them.." said John with tears in his eyes. Kate didn't answer, she was too much in shock, there was a long silence between the two. Finally John broke the silence, "So...your pregnant?" he asked. A smile came across Kate's face, "John I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.....when you get back...." "Oh Katie girl, it's okay......I'm happy......are you?". Nodding her head she told him yes, "John....I.......I....I love you". Smiling John knew that he loved Kate too, and he knew that he had to tell her. "Kate...I........." Just than his phone died. 'Stupid piece of crap' he said to himself.
On the other end it cut out, "John...Hello?", but there was no answer. 'What if he doesn't love me....oh my god.' Kate thought as he rose from the bench and headed home.
Putting his phone back in his pocket, he headed back to the penthouse. 'I have to make sure that things are over between Doc and I, I have to find out if she still loves me'
"Roman, how can things be okay....what John did...I did it to you. Oh Roman I'm soo sorry, I love you, I never want to hurt you again." said Marlena as she cried in Roman's arms. "I love you too Doc, when we leave here I want to be with you and only you." Roman said calmly as he lifted Marlena's head and kissed her. "Me too", she said through her tears. Just than John walked in, "I guess I shouldn't even bother asking...." Marlena quickly stood up, "John please wait....John...don't..." "Doc, I can't go on like this, I can't do this anymore...You have to choose...before we go back to Salem....who do you want to be with?...Me or him?" Yelled John as he looked over at Roman. "John you have to understand, if it weren't for Stephano Roman and I would still be together.........I would have never of married you.....we love each other John". said Marlena placing her hand on Romans shoulder. "Doc...after everything we've been through?....But I guess that's your answer, you want to be with Roman. What about Kate Roman??? Have you forgotten about your wife?" asked John. "John you stole Marlena away from me...you stole Kate away from me....I love Marlena.....you need to be with Kate...and your unborn child." Roman said as he rose from the couch and laced his hand through Marlena's.
You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how do to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?
With tears forming in his eyes, John headed for the door but stopped and turned around," I never stopped loving you Doc." "I'm sorry John". said Marlena looking into John's tearful eyes as he headed out the door.
And anyone who knew us both can see
We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
All this pain, does it go away?
"Oh John, I'm so glad we're together". Marlena had said that to him when he found her in the pit. He had injured his knee, but wasn't willing to give up hope. Marlena thought that they were going to die, and that's when all their feelings that they had tried to keep hidden came out.
Then every time I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To you, to you
'We're just going to have to face the fact that we have a love that's never going to die'. John remembered saying that to Marlena while they were in the hot springs. 'But I guess I was wrong', he thought to himself.
From memory, there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care
'Tell me this isn't a dream'
'It is a dream Doc, mine and yours. And now it's finally come true, we're together now. Nothing will ever keep us apart' The time had finally come for John and Marlena to be together, it was perfect. Their dreams had finally come true after all those years.
And you're nowhere to be found
I know I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
To you, I wish you everything'
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh
And even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come, oh, and I'll move on
The night Marlena had been shot, John didn't want to believe that his wife, his love, his soul mate was dead..he carried her through Salem to the church, where he had lit candles. He couldn't loose her, not right than, it wasn't her time.
I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I got a long, long way to go, got a long way I know
Before I can say goodbye, before I say goodbye
To all I ever knew, to all I ever knew
I got a long, I got a long, long way to go, long way to go
Before I can say, before I say, goodbye to you
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Oh, I got a long, long way I know
Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew
Girl, I wish you the best I know, oh and all of the rest, to you
I got a long, long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
'I never thought this would happen' John thought. Remembering the day that he buried Marlena. "I love you Doc, I always will", he had said as they threw the sand on her coffin. That night he had lit candles and swore on his life that he would find out what happed....But than Kate happened, he was so happy with her and now she's pregnant. His life as he knew it was over with Marlena, everything they had fought for was over. He now had his closer to say 'good-bye'. Looking up at the penthouse, John wiped the tears from his cheeks. "Good Bye Doc." he said aloud as he walked away.
