Thanks again for another review Suzzy20. Here is chapter 3

Chapter 3

On the train, Sean attempted to answer Lisa's question. "Well, I was leaving because I was running from my past. Philip and Belle are married and Belle and I used to date. It hurts in some ways to see them togther, so I was running from that. I was also trying ot move forward, I mean, I want a future, and since I can't have that with Belle, I want to make it with someone else, maybe be happy some day." He explained. "I left because I want to take a short break from Salem, see Germany, and then go home."

Lisa nodded in agreement. "Well, that sounds like a great reason to leave and live for awhile. I'll make sure it's all worth it for ya." She reached out and pushed a strand of hair behind his ear. He smiled at the gesture and took her hand. "Can I take you to Salem?" He asked.

"Absolutely." She replied. "Can I kiss you?" She asked daringly.

"Of course." Sean moved over so that he was next to her and instantly their lips touched. Lisa was seductive in a way Belle was not. Belle was innocent in her look, but Lisa, she was not. Sean knew that this relationship would be different from anything he had ever had in the past, and he was ready to go for it one hundred percent.

As his lips trailed down Lisa's neck, a knock came on the door. "Just a second!" Sean shouted. He quickly moved to the door and Lisa sat up straight.

"Your champaigne sir." Said the waiter.

"Thank you." Sean smiled, accepted it, paid and then the man left. "To Germany and to life!" Sean said of the first toast.

"Cheers!" Lisa smiled and they each drank.

John's plane left for Salem and they were home in a matter of hours. Philip and Belle got settled back into their old apartment where Philip felt stressed out.

"Babe, I can't get up the stairs." Philip complained. "Do you think we could move downstairs in the guest room for awhile? I mean I would like to be able to sleep in a real bed and not on the sofa."

"Of course." Belle replied. "Do you want to lay down now or not?" She asked.

"Nah I'm good thanks." He replied. "Have you heard anything from Rex on Mimi or any of that?" He asked.

"No." Belle shook her head and rolled Philip into the living room. "But Rex said he would call when anything came up."

"Mimi your free!" Rex shouted through the prison bars. "We found evidence proving that everything was an accident and now you are free."

"This is some kind of cruel joke!" Mimi cried. "Stop it now!"

"It's not." Patrick told her calmly.

"Your all set to go." The lady officer said as she opened the cell door. "Leave."

"Oh my God!" Mimi was elated. But how do I tell Rex about the abortion? She thought. She would think of something.

After everything was settled, Rex and Mimi had a romantic dinner and then went to see Philip and Belle. Everything went great. They left and the conversation that would change everything happened.

"So Mimi, what is this BIG secret that I don't know about?" Rex asked.

Mimi was uncomfortable. "Well, this is so hard for me to spit out." She said with a stressed out tone in her voice. "A few months ago I found out I was pregnant. I visited other mothers that had gotten pregnant and had babies and they were just like me, so young and they had no idea where their futures were going or anything. I panicked and I got an abortion." Mimi told him tearfully. "I'm sorry I just --"

"--Just what? Didn't ask me first? Didn't tell me you were carrying my kid or more or less planning to kill it? I have to go!" Rex went to a bar that night, got some money from his father Roman, and left Salem for awhile.

John walked in on Roman and Marlena as they were hugging. "What is all this?" He asked.

"John, we have some news and you are going to want to sit down for it." Roman began. John dropped the flowers on the counter and sat down on the sofa.

"Okay, what's the news?" He asked.

"Well, while we were in the DiMera castle, Marlena and I formed a bond. But in that castle we were at one point together alone in a bedroom and --"

"--What Roman is trying to say is that we made love, and in that process, I got pregnant."

"What!" John shot up. "No...No..." He paced the room trying to fathom everything. "Does Kate know you two slept together?" He asked.

"No, not yet." Roman replied.

"Do you want a divorce?" John asked Marlena.

Philip and Belle sat in their bedroom downstairs. "It's going to be awkward making love now." Philip told her.

"No, it's going to be just as good as it ever was." Belle told him. "Maybe even better." She joined him in the bed, each of them only wearing their underwear. "And I have been thinking."

"About what?" He asked.

"Being parents." She replied. The smile on her face right then was priceless. "I want to have your children Philip Kiriakus." She placed numerous kissed on his lips and cheeks right then.

"You do?" He asked playfully nudging her neck with his face.

She nodded back playfully. He smiled and they made love.

The train stopped in Berlin right on time. Lisa got out her camera and prepared to take pictures with Sean near the Berlin wall. "Smile!" She told him. He did and then they switched. Then, they asked an older couple to please take a picture of them together. The lady told them what a nice couple they made, and for the first time after hearing the word couple, Sean didn't think of Belle, he thought of Lisa.

He was moving forward, and that was a big step for him.

Nicole did a little investigating and found out about Brady's little love shack in the mountains. She smiled at the thought of breaking that up. But how?

She called the police and reported Brady's car stolen. Afterall, it was Victor's officially and she could do that.

The police broke up their love fest and Nicole heard about it the next day. She had moved into a hotel room for now, but she was going to get her revenge on Brady and Chloe, if it was the last thing she ever did.
