Thanks so much for the reviews! Here is the next chapter!

Chapter 4

Mimi and Philip headed to the airport and met up with Patrick there. He sat across from them on the airplane and explained about the name Isabella Marcos. "It was her ALIAS..." He began.

"Who?" Mimi asked.

"My girlfriend, the only woman I ever really got serious with." (help me out with her name...I FORGOT IT! Thanks!)

"Is that why you agreed to this?" Philip asked.

"Yeah." Patrick replied. "That and the fact that I want to help my sister find her child."

Philip nodded and leaned back in his seat as the plane took off. He hated flying, it reminded him of being on those stupid jets and helicopters when he was in the Marines.

Patrick and Mimi didn't mind it too much however. As they arrived on Morgan Island, everything seemed to be going smoothly. But so far, no Isabella Marcos.

"Did you get a good look at the surrogate at any point?" Patrick asked Mimi.

"Only once. Long dark hair, medium height and build. The usual." Mimi replied. Patrick nodded and thought about it and how that description compared to his girlfriend.

"Yeah, that sounds like her." He told them. "Let's get settled into the house here and then we can start looking tomorrow. Its late tonight and chances are, we won't find her."

The next morning, they walked around the whole island, still no sign of her! "There are no pregnant ladies anywhere!" Mimi whined.

"Well, she has to be somewhere." Philip reasoned. "I mean, honestly, this island is really small."

Patrick nodded. "We had our places, I think I need to check them out and see if she is there. You all stay here and I promise to keep you updated."

Patrick left and went by the water where they had always hung out. She wasn't standing out in the open, however she was in a little hut by the water.

"What are you doing? What have you been up to?" He asked.

She took a deep breath and then turned to face him. "Well," she started. "The DiMera's wanted me to carry this baby for some reason."

"Well, who are the parents?" Patrick asked.

"I dont know. Probably a Brady's or something." She replied.

"And why are you carrying the baby? Are you still working for Steffano DiMera?"

She nodded. "Yep. Still working for Steffano." She lay down on her bed and tried to sleep.

"Wait, I have more questions." Patrick pushed.

"Go away Patrick. We broke up."

Patrick just frowned and went up to let his sister and Philip know that he had found their surrogate.

Back in Salem, John was searching for his past. He had no idea who his parents were and he wanted to know. Apparently he and Tony shared a mom, but who was his father? Steffano? Or someone else all together? If only he could get Tony in for a DNA test and at a hospital other than Salem Hospital too!

He sat at home pondering this question, turning it over and over in his mind. Marlena had asked for a short separation, nothing too long or short, just the amount of time she needed to get her head straight. John understood that.

But Sami was scheming again, she wanted her parents together and John and Kate back together again. John smiled at how pushy Sami was. She was going to work the four of them until everything turned out the way she wanted it to, of that he was certain.

Would it be so bad for things to go Sami's way for once? John wondered. No, just as long as it was only this once!

John remembered back to him and Kate; she had been his breath of fresh air. New, sweet, and she didn't want anything, just a companion. Sure, she had been married before; but so had he! Did he want her back? Only his heart and time would tell.

And what about her? Did she want him? Across town, Kate wondered what John Black was up to, what he was doing right then and where he was. Maybe she should just drop by for a visit...see how he was doing after his vacation. Yes, she would do that.

John invited her in and they sat down to talk. "How are you?" She asked first.

"Fine thanks. And you?" John asked her.

"Doing well too thanks. What have you been up to?"

"Well, I am wondering who my father is, where I come from." John replied. "Somehow I have a feeling it all ties back to the DiMera's."

"Yes. It very well could." Kate replied. "I think if you wanted to know so badly, you could get into Tony's jail cell, get a DNA sample, and see if you two were full siblings. If you are, then you are a DiMera."

John nodded. "Its so strange, the thought of being a DiMera."

"I bet." Kate replied.

"But I guess we could get to that cell and find out if I am fully Tony's brother or not."

"We?" Kate questioned.

"Well, you and I have always investigated things together Kate."

Kate smiled. "Yes we have." She replied. "Yes we have."
