"Go get your stuff together and we'll leave here in a little while okay?" Lana kissed her little girl on the forehead, sending her running to do as her mother had said. In the meanwhile, Alana returned to the living room where Stephanie sat lacing her little David's shoes.

"So what did she say?"

Lana laughed, "'Member who good my planned sounded like twenty minutes ago?" Lana mimicked herself, "I'll wait 'til she says something…"

"She said something? What did she say?" Stephanie sent David to go up stairs and help his cousins. He obediently did so as Stephanie played with her infant and continued to talk to Lana.

"She says she missed her daddy and wants to see him tonight." Lana rubbed her temples as she let what might happen that night play over and over again in her head. "Is it ironic that like fifteen seconds after she said she wanted to see her father, she asked about Dave?"

Linda laughed from the kitchen, "Nope, it's not irony, it's life!" Linda had packed sandwiches for the hour ride back to the hotel and stuffed them in the away bag for the two toddlers. "Are you guys about to leave?"

Stephanie cooed with her baby, who was staying with Linda, before getting up and hugging her mother. "Yeah Mom, I think we have some things to do…"

Lana also hugged the baby and Linda and called for the kids. Together MayAnne and David tumbled down the stairs and ran to the SUV parked in the driveway. For the next thirty minutes, the foursome made their way down the interstate to the metro area. Lana looked over her shoulder and noticed the two kids were sleeping. "Hey Steph, you wanna pull over here. I figured I'd make a or two call and then I could take over driving if you wanted me too…"

Stephanie pulled over and stretched as Lana hopped out of the car and pulled out her cell phone.

"Hey Babe." Dave answered the phone in his deep, warm voice.

Lana couldn't help but smile before she began to talk, "Hey. Umm…good news or bad news?" Dave had sighed and picked the latter. "Okay, we have to be in a room with Jericho for like an hour or so tonight." Dave rightfully asked why and Lana explained. "MayAnne said she missed him and wanted to see him. I can't say no, so I'm about to call him and see when he wants to see her."

"Ok, so what's the good news?"

"Your daughter can't wait to see you…" Lana felt full just saying it. "She can't wait to see her 'Davey'."

Dave chuckled a little, "Well, I have some bittersweet news for you. Ready?" Lana answered with silence, but Dave continued anyway. "You, I and MayAnne have be subpoenaed for a DNA test next week in Burbank. After he gets the results, the custody battle will be over and we'll be one-step closer to being done with him."

"You're right! Well, I have to call that jerk, so we can arrange this. Bye 'Davey'!" Lana half-waited for Dave to laugh, but he didn't.

"Alana, I love you."

Without hesitation Lana responded, "I love you too, Dave."

Lana was all smiles as Stephanie made her presences known, "AWW…was that the first time you've said that since you've been back together?"

Alana blushed as she looked at her best friend. "Yes, dork, it was. Something tells me I'll need that motivation to get through this next call." Lana was right. Chris had taken a new approach at his inevitable divorce. He all but cried on the phone as he beseeched 'the only woman he ever loved' and the 'reason he lived' to take him back. After another good ten minutes of pathetic begging, Lana had arranged for Chris to meet her and MayAnne at the stadium an hour earlier.
