JR dials Jamie's cell phone number
Jamie – hello
JR – hi James…don't say my name too loud if anyone is around you!
Jamie looks around him, to try to find a secluded area…he goes outside to the garden where Tad, and Brooke aren't around
Jamie – hey JR, I got away from people where are you man… my dad and your dad are trying to find you they have PI agents tracking you…
JR – well at the moment I am in Rome, Italy… but I won't be here too long I need you to take the limo I am sending you and come meet me down here, but it has to be top secret I am coming home soon but I don't want my dad to find out yet…
Jamie – why am I coming to Italy?
JR – I want you to meet my fiancée…
Jamie – what? When did you become engaged? And who is it?
JR - well I met her on Monday June 2nd when I docked in San Diego, and we fell madly in love, I asked her to marry me on Friday…Jamie she makes me really happy! I love this girl…here name is Arabellea Carey but she goes by Babe, I met her on the dock and when we kiss it feels like our souls are joined to make one, it's like we were meant to find each other, this feeling I have its everlasting, and I would love for you to meet her and be a witness at our wedding on Monday June 23rd
Jamie – well…what do I say to my parents?
JR – tell them that, you would like to go on a vacation to clear your mind because you need it from your exams that our difficult because they are after all doctor stuff…
Jamie – but you're the only one who knows I want to be a doctor, well you and aunt Phoebe
JR – listen little brother we can't tell our families about any of this…Tad and Brooke cannot know where I am, I want to throw this on my dad and shock him to the fullest extent
Jamie – your old man, is a cougar he will not leave you alone he has so many people searching for you…he wont leave my dad alone…he thinks he knows were you are!
JR – I know he's pathetic, I would rather not see him ever but that didn't work with my mom and it's certainly not going to work for me, so I am stuck dealing with him…
Jamie – I pray that you never turn into him; I would be worried for my mom's sake if I didn't know she could handle him…
JR – don't worry…I took off so I could stop that from happening, but what does that mean?
Jamie – my mother and Adam are getting close again; they are talking and having dinner it looks like a reunion for Brooke and Adam
JR – if I know anything about my dad, he has a soft spot in that cold nefarious gloomy heart of his for only two things…his children, and Brooke English, maybe even Stuart, and Chandler Enterprises…but that is all! I can tell you right now he hated hurting Brooke, and he respects her so much and she is precious to him. He learned from his mistakes when it came to Brooke, he wont hurt her again.
Jamie – if only everything he is involved with could have the same effect on him like my mother does!
JR – if only…but don't hold your breath, it isn't likely…unless your mom tells him to change!
Jamie – oh don't worry she'll help him deserve to go to heaven when he eventually crooks
JR – I am not worried and neither should you, she is a tough cookie she can handle the big bad Adam Chandler Sr, so are you coming to Rome or what?
Jamie – well give me 1 day to work stuff out with everyone, then call me again and I'll let you know?
JR – fine, I'll call you the same time tomorrow…time is of the essence
Jamie – fine, tomorrow same time!
Tad walks out
Tad – hey…
Jamie looks at him and holds up his hand; Tad looks interested
Jamie – okay…
JR – good! Don't tell anyone especially the parents! Okay I'll let you go before Tad grabs the phone from your hands to find out who you're talking to, so tomorrow…bye Jamie
Jamie – no thank-you, I've already got a long distance plan
JR – thanks bro…for the cover up
Jamie – bye
JR – bye
They hang up! And JR smiles a bit. Back to Jamie
Tad – those people get annoying after awhile!
Jamie – yeah…
Tad – so are you feeling stress from school? You have a lot on your plate with all those classes your talking…
Jamie (in his head; how perfectly great is this playing out…) well yeah, but it's the price you have to pay to live your dreams, and that's what I am doing!
Tad – maybe you should take a vacation away from Pine Valley, for a couple of days…clear your mind, you deserve it, you finished your exams, and next year, will be your third year it gets harder.
Jamie – really…you wouldn't mind?
Tad – nah…go ahead, but first lets go and have dinner with your mom… she should be ready by now
Jamie – okay
Tad – okay (he puts his arm around Jamie's shoulder and they walk in to the house, where Brooke comes out of the bathroom and is ready to go)
Brooke – lets go!
Back to JR and Babe
2:35 pm
JR walks into the spa, and Babe is walking out she is speaking to the woman who catered to her, there talking about the wedding, and JR. Babe turns and looks at him she tells him to come over to them
Babe - venire qui
Jr walks up to her, and says Hello
JR – ciao
Babe – JR this is Amelia, she and I have become friends we talked about our wedding, and stuff in general, she speaks English
Amelia – ciao JR, It's nice to meet you
JR –it's nice to meet you too… Amelia
Amelia – I've heard about you, Babe wont stop talking about you!
JR – well hopefully all good!
Amelia- you sound like a knight in shinning Armour, ready to Wisk your princess in to eternal bliss forever
Babe (blushes) Italians are very romantic…it's cool!
Amelia – When it comes to love I feel like this quote says it all, my husband agrees with me!
"Siamo tutto il nato per l'amore. È il principio di esistenza, e la sua sola fine." In English It means "We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end."
JR – where is your husband?
Amelia – he is a pilot, he is traveling and I am here working and raising our daughter she is 6 years old her name is Emilie, but everyone calls her Emmie…
Babe – what a lovely name…
Amelia – It was my great grandmothers name
Babe – I'm named after my mother's aunt
Amelia – she must have been happy…
Babe – not really, she favored her cats more than my mother
Amelia – no offence to your mom's aunt, but "donna stupida"
Babe – no offence taken, I know she was a stupid woman
JR – your mother must have been mad!
Babe – she said "la vecchia di mal umore...who è fedele ai gatti che non erano mai fedele a lei" and a few curse words
Amelia – honestly, cats are not loyal to there masters like dogs are…your mother was right to point that out
The Phone rings…and Amelia looks at the phone
Amelia – I am sorry, but business calls…it was nice meeting you both and good luck
Babe – Thank-you and good luck as well
JR – It was nice meeting you…(JR sticks his hand out and Amelia shakes it)
Amelia – Thank-you (Amelia walks towards the phone and JR/Babe leave)
JR – I realized that we never talked about our families…I would like to here more about your family!
Babe – I hope to here more about yours, but I have a bunch of shady characters in my bloodline
JR – that's okay…more then likely you'll find that in my family also
Babe – do you mind if I don't talk about it now…where did you go while I was at the spa?
JR – yeah…that's fine with me, I went to call my brother and I am pretty sure he's coming down for our wedding
Babe – cool, I would like to meet your brother…
JR – so the only family you've kept in touch with is your mom?
Babe – pretty much, they didn't care so we didn't care
JR – well now you have an extended family in pine valley, and your dad is part of your life now
Babe (smiles) I am looking forward to have a lot more people in my family…it will be a nice change!
JR – and you'll have so much money, you won't know what to do with it
Babe – I don't need money to be happy…I didn't need it growing up and I don't need it now, because as long as I have you, I perfectly happy
JR – I understand that…but I come with money and I hope that you'll use it, think of it as your finally getting a break from living without it, and now it's there to get what your heart desire's
Babe – that's a good way to look at it, did you know that I wanted to be a teacher…I love children! That is one of my dreams…
JR – I had plains of being CEO and running Chandler Enterprise but my dad lost it to Cambias Industries…I think you should becoming a teacher…go to school for it, you would be a hot teacher I bet if you taught high school…a lot of the boys would think your hot!
Babe (blushes) well that's too bad for them…there going to have to lust after some other poor woman, I want to teach grade 3 or 4's
JR – so do it…I will help you get in! You can enroll in Pine Valley University; maybe I should go back also! But you're going to have to give them things from your old school…
Babe – are you serious…you think I should do this?
JR (pulls Babe into him, and looks in her eyes) yes…because I think we should start making all your dreams come true, and if it's what makes you happy then why not be happy…and you'll be able to come home to me, so far so good! I want the world for us…we finally deserve it! (Babe smiles, and they pull in to kiss each other) (After a minute they pull away) I Love You Arabellea "Babe" Carey and I can't wait to make you Mrs. Arabellea "Babe" Chandler

JR walks aboard and Jamie follows him
JR – I need to talk to Rupert

JR – thanks, I'll be right back
Jamie (nods) JR is out of sight
Rupert and JR
JR – Rupert…I need you to not tell anyone that you made this trip, my father cannot find me and know that you were in contact with me…I will give you a nice bonus if no one finds out I am in Italy
Rupert – yes sir, Mr. Chandler
JR (nods) good…It will be in your mailbox on Monday morning if this all goes as planned and make sure this doesn't look likes it been used, it suppose to be sitting in the hanger not used…(he looks at the gas gauge) and fill it up.
JR walks away… he helps Jamie tidy up and their bags are already in the car.

Jamie – before we go to the show, I have a surprise for you…I was going to give it to you when you eventually came back, but I realized I don't know when that's going to be
He pulls out a black book that says Memories on it; and hands to JR
JR takes it from his hands and opens it; he sees pictures of all his family and of Jamie. There's even a Memory page for his mother; there are some pictures of Tad, Dixie, JR, and Jamie in there as well as Jamie and JR; and of JR and Tad; and even one of Adam and JR; JR looks like he's about to cry; he shows Babe and Krystal and tell them about each picture; Babe looks in to JR's face and sees the happiness and sadness because he's misses all of them, especially his mother!
Babe – I see a lot of your mother in you
JR (smiles) thank-you, that is the nicest thing anyone could say to me (he kisses her; they pull away) (he whispers) I Love you
Babe (whispers) and I Love you
JR (looks at Jamie) Thank-you so much, this means the world too me (he gets up and gives him a hug)
Krystal – It's good to see all your family…you have a lot of people who love you and miss you back home!
JR – I know…I am the luckiest guy in the world!
Babe – I am glad where going back to Pine valley
JR – so am I
Jamie – yeah me too…
After the show which ended at 11:30, they're walking on the beachfront just talking…Krystal calls it a night at 12 am because she's been constantly moving and putting her and Babe's things in a 2 bedroom apartment in Pine Valley, and getting a job, but she can't afford a car right now, and she doesn't want JR to get her one. She is a bartender at the roadside in Pine Valley; they sit on the beach in a circle and just talk.
Jamie – so Babe…tell me about yourself
Babe – okay…like what?
Jamie – where were you born…where are you from?
Babe – well…I was born in San Antonio, Texas and I moved to San Diego, California when I was 8 and lived there till I was 10, then I moved to Salinas, California and lived there till August 11 2002…My mother raised me and I grew up having little cash, but big dreams… and I was always told that one day they'll always come true. My mother has been my rock; she always made my life fun and magical. My father has no idea I exist…but I am going to meet him real soon, because my mother wants me to know my dad, and he has a right to know that he has a daughter
JR – I wonder what he's going to say!
Jamie – you know who her dad is?
JR (nods) he's a resident of Pine Valley
Jamie – really…who?
JR opens his mouth to speak
Jamie – no wait! I want to figure it out…
JR – okay…
Jamie – well is it a Gray…
JR – nope
Jamie – a Martin
JR – nope
Jamie – a Cortlandt
JR – nope
Jamie – that leaves a Chandler and Ryan, Aidan, and David…please tell me it's not a Chandler
JR – no…if it were then would you be seeing Babe and I get married
Jamie – very true…so no to Chandler, Is it Ryan…actually he's married and too young, what about Aidan
Babe – nope
Jamie – that leaves David Hayward
Babe – Bingo!
Jamie – I would like to say I am happy for you, but that guy is one strange dude!
JR – he's kind of a mix of Albert Einstein and a Mad Scientist
Babe and JR laugh
Babe – that was good! At least we know I have the potential to be crazy genius person
Jamie – so do you think there's a possible reunion of David and your mother?
Babe – honestly…I don't think she loves David! But I hope she finally finds that special someone because she deserves it, she spent all her time making a life for me and she has always put me first and working to put food in our stomach's
JR – your mother is a strong woman! I've come to realize if you do something to make Krystal Carey mad, you better watch out cause she'll come after you…
Babe – yes…The Carey woman are tough cookies
JR – she was mad when her aunt insisted on giving those damn cats her money…
Jamie gives them a weird look
Babe – my mothers aunt had $5,000 dollars, and my mother thought because she was the only family she had left she would give it to my mom, but this woman had 2 cats…so my mother named me after her thinking maybe that will change her mind on leaving it to the cats…but no luck, and if the cats die the money goes to giving them a proper burial. My mother was so angry…and upset because we really needed that, I think she may have punched her!
JR – really!
Babe – Yes!
Jamie – cats aren't loyal …dogs are!
Babe – that's what she said! But my aunt wouldn't listen!
JR – that woman was senile…she should have been put in an institution, or at least given your mom the money.
Jamie – so do you have any other family?
Babe – well… in all honesty my family is okay, but there are still one or two screwed up family members, but I assure my momma and me are nothing like those bad seeds, she told me about my dad's family this morning when I went to go see her…
JR – okay…
Babe - Charles Hayward who is my grandfather he's dead, and my grandmother is Vanessa Bennett who is also dead, On my mother's side, I had an uncle named Earl but I never got to meet him, he died when my mom was a teenager, on my dad's side there's Leo Du Pres he's also dead
JR – that's Greenlee's ex-husband
Babe – really…
Jamie – she is now married to Ryan Lavery
Babe – cool, um then I have another uncle named Ben Shepherd, but he goes by Trey Kenyon the third
JR – I 've heard of a lot of these people
Babe – my great aunt is Gwynnie Stone and my great uncle is Mr. Stone
JR – which means…your second cousins are Frankie and Maggie
Babe – oh my god! That totally slipped my mind when you told me about Frankie…that's so strange!
JR – yeah…it kind of is…
Jamie – so who else is part of your family?
Babe – Leora Hayward…my half-sister but unfortunately she didn't make it…Then I have a great aunt and uncle in Biloxi, Missouri Talulah and PJ they are on the run for robbing a bank, kind of like Bonnie and Clyde…my aunt and uncle have been MIA for the last 9 years…we assume there dead! Then here's where it gets bad…I have two unnamed cousins that married each other, and a second cousin who is there child…and supposedly there parents were very supportive, which is not right at all!
JR (scrunches his face in disgust) that is so gross!
Jamie – Have you ever met them?
Babe – nope, they probably don't know I exist…which I am fine with…I am okay just knowing the people that matter, like my momma and dad…and you guys your all my family now…hopefully The Chandlers will welcome me with open arms…
JR – more then likely, but my dad won't at first…but if we work him over enough and get him used to the fact your going to be around for a long time…he'll have no choice but to accept you.
Jamie – and in some ways The Martins is family, and we always welcome new family with open arms
JR - so if Adam doesn't show you the love…Tad will
Babe – I can't wait…your family's sound awesome!
Jamie – so tomorrow what is on the agenda…
Babe – dress fitting after brunch for momma and me, I can't believe I am getting married I am so exited!
Jamie looks a little upset, but it doesn't last long. JR notices the look
JR – don't worry Bro, I'll find you some good-looking Italian woman
Jamie – your always trying to get me too hook up!
JR – I care…why am I the only one out of the two of us, who gets to be happy!
Jamie – you've got a point! Fine! It's almost 1; we should get going back to the hotel
They get up, and head for the hotel

Day of the Wedding…
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's faults, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope. It is always ready to endure whatever comes. True love does not come to an end.
I Adam Jr affirm my love to you Arabellea as I invite you to share my life. I promise always to respect your needs. I will endeavor through kindness, unselfishness and trust to achieve the warm rich life we now look forward to. To this end I call upon all present to witness that I take you Arabellea to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live.
