"Good morning"
"Good morning Roman. How'd you sleep?"
"Like a baby for lack of better words."
"Hahaha so did I knowing you'll always be beside me."Kate chuckled to herself.
Roman than pulled Kate tight into his chest and kissed her softly on the head. The two laid there quietly in the room not saying a word to another. It seemed like hours later when then finally awoke again that something was wrong.
"Roman, what is it?"
"You're not my wife!"
"What!?! Roman how could you say that?"
"I don't know but the only way to prove it is if you kiss me"
Within seconds the two were embraced in a long hard kiss. At that moment Roman looked up and noticed it wasn't Kate at All it was Marlena. Was he dreaming? Was it real? It couldn't be. But before he could spit out the words Marlena what are you doing here he woke up with his darling Kate snuggled tight beside him. With a quick sigh of relief he decided that it was time to get out of bed. Roman decided that he was going to make Kare some breakfast but realized there wasn't much in the fridge. So he quietly made his way into the bedroom and decided to wake Kate up.
"Kate, Hun wake up." he said softly
"hmmm" Kate said as she slowly came to.
"Good morning my love"
"Good morning Roman."
The two gave each other a small Peck on the lips.
"So what do you have planned for today?"asks Roman.
"Oh you know the usual. Go see how Lucas is doing .See Will and the head to the office." replied Kate
"Well how about we start your day off with some breakfast. I thought I'd take you out since there is not much in the fridge."chuckles Roman.
"Why not. Just let me jump in the shower."
"OK"
After they leave and head out for breakfast they run into John and Marlena. Coincidence no? Anyways Marlena and Kate decide to chat it up in the bathroom and tells Kate everything that went on at the island.
"Marlena, I - I knew how you felt about Roman I just never thought your feelings were that strong"
"I'm sorry you had to hear it form me but I told John yesterday and well I couldn't take the risk of Roman not telling you and you ..finding out from someone else. Oh Kate I feel so bad."
"It's OK. I wouldn't expect any man who was stuck with you on a deserted island to turn you down. Your a beautiful woman."
"Thank you Kate, that means a lot and so are you."
"Thanks, so how did John take it?"
"He's a mess right now and if he's telling Roman than well it'll be the same way."
"I hope not thats the last thing Roman and I need.. Hostility."
"I know what you mean it seems like John and I have been driven away form each other ever since I've been home."
"Ya, same with Roman and I. Weird huh?"
"You're telling me. Why don't we see what those two are up to."
"Sure why not."
Kate and Marlena leave the washroom only to find the two men fighting with each other in the park.
"John! Roman! what are you doing stop it NOW!" screamed Marlena as her and Kate stood in fear.
"It's too late Marlena" replies John
"John stop it please if you know whats good for you" Kate plea's
The two men stop fighting within minutes. Kate ran to John's side, Marlena to Romans. what was happening. Had they both forgotten who they loved and were married to?
"I knew it" said Roman
" Ya me too." said John.
"What's going on here?" asked Marlena
"It was a stage Marlena, Roman and I needed to know where we stood in our relationships and we've found out."
"So this was a stage, a set up? John how could you?"
"I did it to find out who you really loved Marlena. I needed to know"
"John just because I went to Roman doesn't mean I love him more than I do you."
"Maybe it doesn't but it lets me know and Roman know where you stand in our lives and where we stand in yours. Same with you Kate."
"Bu--"
"Don't worry about it Kate. You've both made your choices. Now were gonna make ours. John you first"
"Hmm thats a hard pick there Roman"
"John this is ridiculous, why are you doing this?"questioned Marlena
"How about you Roman, whats your pick?"
"Don't have one John."
"Me either."
A small hush came over the two women who just realized they had both lost the ones they loved. How would they cope, how would they live. How Much more different would life be? While Kate and Marlena sat in awe the two men discussed something and came back to them.
"Now you two can't believe were serious can you?"
Neither one replied.
"We'll we were but we've got an altimatem for you. You have to stay away from one another i.e. Myself or Roman. So Marlena, no Roman, Kate no me but under strict rules will you be able to see us. These set as follows. Business because of the work Kate and I do together..and family for Marlena and Romans sake because of children. Any other contact will be, sacrificial to you relationships. Be careful, be wise and we'll see you ladies later."
John and Roman than took off to the Salem PD. Leaving both the women with almost..nothing.
"Kate what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know Marlena. They given us the ultimatum. Save our marriages or have nothing."
"Exactly, but..."
"But what? "
"What if things get out of hand I mean not saying that they will."
"Your trying to break Roman and I apart aren't you."
"Oh Kate please I was over Roman so long ago you know that."
"Do I Marlena, because it doesn't seem like it."
"Trust me I am. "
"OK, whatever you say. I'm off to work."
Marlena was left there to sit and think about how she's going to get both Roman and John. But which one did she want or did she want neither of them? Could be possible but she sat their and thought of a plot to make sure that she got the one that she wants.
