Thank you for the one review I got. Here is chapter 2.
Chapter 2
Roman hugged Marlena. "Oh Doc," he began. "We are stuck in the mud right now. What are we going to do? No matter what our marriages are ruined."
Marlena nodded in agreement. "Yes, but while we were on the island and at the castle John and Kate formed a bond as well. They were engaged. It was serious what happened between them. Things are just no longer comfortable here with the way things were before we were gone. Everything has changed. Everything."
Roman nodded and looked out into space.

"Sean." A gentle voice woke him up. "Hey love." He half expected to see Belle when he opened his eyes, but instead he saw Lisa, the new girl that had just entered his life.
"Hi." He smiled at her. "Are we there yet?" He asked.
"Less than an hour, but we got menus if your hungry." She smiled back at him and handed him a menu.
"Thanks." He took it and skimmed it over. "Let's just have some champagne to celebrate the fact that my friend, his name is Philip, is alive and doing fine. Let's also get it to celebrate us meeting each other."
"Sounds good to me." Lisa replied. She set her menu down and gave him a look that he had never seen before.
"What?" Sean asked.
"Well, I want to know, why were you leaving the hospital in the first place and if you are running from someone or something?"

Jennifer had to get away. The fact that Jack was going to die was scaring her like crazy. Of course she wanted to spend time with him before he was gone, but she couldn't do that until the idea sunk in that after two months or so he was never coming back.
Who could she call on? Who could she count on right now? Frankie!
Jennifer had to find him, she had to just spill her guts and have a shoulder to cry on. He was in the garage with the teenagers. She could walk there and see him.
Jack followed her. "Jen!" He shouted.
"Not right now Jack." She stopped him. "I can't do this right now." The tears began to flow again.

Bo and Hope were on the dock christening the ship. From afar, Billie watched and wondered what it would be like to be back in Bo's life, to be his wife again. She would get what she wanted to get from him, afterall, they did have a child together, Georgia, and she was missing. Having a missing daughter together was the one way that Billie could get her hooks into Bo, forever.

John, Kate, Belle, and Philip had a somewhat family meeting. "So, do you feel ready to go home yet?" Kate asked Philip.
"Yea, I mean the sooner the better. I don't like being here very much, and to be honest I just need some healing time away from this environment. I hope the Marines give me some sort of nice paying desk job after this." He was in high spirits; afterall, Belle had stood by him.
"That sounds like a great plan." Belle chimed in. "Everyone back in Salem will be so happy to see that you are alive and doing well."
"I'm glad you see it that way, but I no longer have a leg." Philip replied suddenly getting a bit down.
"But your alive, and that is all that matters." Belle told him. "Don't worry about anything. From now on, everything will be fine, I will see to it."

Brady and Chloe sat in the cabin. "Chloe, I do see the scars, but I know you beneath the scars, and I love who you are inside, not out."
"Brady, that is the sweetest thing you have ever said to me." Chloe told him.
"I love you." He told her.
She was holding back. She wouldn't say it. They had been apart for so long, she could not bring herself to say the words.

"Sammy, you have to help me come up with a plan!" Nicole shouted at her.
"I can't do that Nicole." Sammy replied.
"Come on Sammy. Any ideas? How did you ever get Lucas before?"
"I got pregnant." Sammy told her.
A brilliant Nicole smiled a devilish smile. Ohhhh Brady! Let the games begin. She thought. There must be some way I could get into bed with Brady. But how?
"Thank you Sammy." Nicole took one last swig of the vodka and left Sammy's apartment.
Sammy shrugged and thought nothing of it.

As Nicole walked down the hall, her mind was ticking. She would dye her hair a dark brown, like Chloe's color, and she would sneak into Brady's room one night. She was afterall still married to Victor and had 100percent access to the mansion. Once inside, she would make sure that Brady was half asleep and make love to him then, while he was half awake and half asleep.
She was going to trap Brady into being with her, if it was the last thing she did. However, three weeks earlier, they had made love. What if then she had already gotten pregnant? What if the plan was unnecessary?
As Nicole Kierakuas stood at the end of the hall, she felt suddenly pleased with herself. She was going to get all that she could have ever wanted...She was going to get Brady weather he liked it or not, and nothing was going to stop her.
