It's the day before Thanksgiving and Evangeline has stopped by to talk to David and Dorian about the custody hearing. David is sitting on the couch and Evangeline is in the chair across from him. Dorian sets a tea tray on the coffee table, and then sits next to David.

Dorian: (To Evangeline) Tea?

Evangeline: No thank you. I appreciate the two of you being able to meet with me today.

Dorian: Why wouldn't we have been able to meet with you? The hearing is Monday.

Evangeline: I know, but Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and I thought that you would probably be preparing dinner for your family.

David: (he chuckles and Dorian shoots him a look)

Evangeline: What's so funny?

David: You've obviously never seen her cook.

Evangeline: No

Dorian: What's wrong with my cooking?

David: Nothing if you like your food burnt. (she slaps his arm) Ow.

Evangeline: It can't be that bad.

David: The fire department has stopped responding to calls here at La Boulai. (she shoots him another look and shakes her head)

Evangeline: Alright, why don't we get back to the case.

David: So what's the plan.

Evangeline: I'm going to focus mainly on Spencer's medical error and his lack of time to take care of a small child.

David: Would suing him for malpractice have helped.

Evangeline: No. His lawyer has a strong case. You both have criminal records and have done major jail time. I am definitely going play up the family angle, like the fact that the two of you are getting married next month, which is something Spencer doesn't have. Dorian, the fact that you didn't raise either of your other daughters is definitely going to be a major part of this hearing.

Dorian: I could not help the fact that I couldn't raise my daughters. I wanted to, I love them so much. I mean it's not like I abandoned them. I was just doing what I had to do.

Evangeline: Hey, you don't have to convince me just the judge. And David you're baby selling incident isn't going to help either.

David: I admit that was not one of my smarter moments. (Dorian gives him a you think look) But what have you got against Spencer?

Evangeline: Not much. He is a highly successful doctor with no criminal record to speak of. Our key is going to be Paige. She is the only one other than David, who knows first hand what he is capable of. On paper Spencer would most likely look like the better choice to a judge, but it's not that clear cut, nothing is.

Dorian: Thank you so much for taking our case.

Evangeline: I'm glad to do it, and I'll do everything I can to help. (Gets up) There is one other thing you should know. Blair has been summoned as a character witness for Spencer.

Dorian: What? (Dylan starts crying) Excuse me. (she picks up the baby monitor and heads up stairs)

David: (Standing up) Thank you for everything. (He shakes her hand)

Evangeline: Your welcome.

David walks her out and Dorian comes down the stairs with Dylan.

David: Hey there.

Dorian: (waving Dylan's arm) Say hi daddy, say hi.

David walks over and gives him a kiss on the head.

David: What's going on?

Dorian: He's hungry. I'm going to get him his bottle.

David: Little boys need they're food.

Dorian: He's like you, he's always hungry.

David: I'm not always hungry.

Dorian: Please, if you're not stuffing your face you're trying to get me into bed. Which, with us, tends to involve food.

David gives her this your naughty and I like it look and she replies with a kinky, one eyebrow raised look. Dylan starts to cry again.

Dorian: (gently bouncing him) Mamma hears you. Yes she does.

David: I like you like this.

Dorian: Like what?

David: Motherly. (She smiles) I have to run out for a little while.

Dorian: Where are you going?

David: To give Spencer one last chance to give us custody.

Dorian: Be careful.

David: I will.

He gives her a kiss, gets his jacket and leaves. Dorian heads for the kitchen with a still crying Dylan.

Dorian: Here we go into the kitchen. We're going get you something to eat. Yeah, and then later on when your daddy gets home we're going go visit your sister in the hospital.

At the Love Center Spencer is shooting hoops. David enters and watches him for a few seconds before Spencer notices him.

Spencer: Davey, what can I do for you.

David: You know dam well what you can do. You can give Dorian and I custody of Desiree.

Spencer: Oh now, what kind of father would that make me?

David: A good one.

Spencer: (smirks) Why are you really here little brother?

David: To make a deal.

Spencer: Go on, I'm listening.

David: HORSE. One Game. If I win you give Dorian and I custody of Desiree.

Spencer: And if I win?

David: I'll see you in court.

Spencer: (ponders it jokingly for a moment) Considering you haven't game well, ever, it's a deal. (They shake hands) I'll even let you take the first shot.

Spencer hands David the ball. He steps up to the foul line shoots and misses. Spencer takes the ball and does an easy lay-up. David misses.

Spencer: H

Spencer proceeds to make a basket from the three point line. David shoots, and again he misses.

Spencer: O

Spencer, being his cocky self, decides to shoot from half court and misses. David takes delight in this. He attempts another foul shout and makes it. Spencer is shocked and becoming increasingly hot under the collar. Spencer easily makes the shot and does another lay-up which David misses.

Spencer: That's R Davey.

Dorian enters the Love Center and watches David and Spencer, who don't see her. The game has now gotten very heated. Spencer easily makes another three point basket that David could not.

Spencer: S, one more and I win.

Spencer dribbles hard down the court and makes a jump shot. David tries to follow, but the ball bounces of the backboard and hits David in the head, knocking him to the ground. Dorian gasps and takes a step forward, but stops before Spencer can see her.

Spencer: (standing over David) I believe that spells horse, which I also believe means I win.

David: You got lucky.

Spencer: (chuckles) No little brother, luck had nothing to do with it. See you Monday.

Spencer leaves and Dorian runs out onto the court.

Dorian: David, are you okay?

David: What are you doing here?

Dorian: You were gone a long time so I came looking for you.

David: I'm fine. See? But thank you for caring. (They smile at each other) Who's watching Dylan.

Dorian: Adriana.

David acts like he is going to get up. Dorian stops him.

Dorian: You shouldn't try to get up yet. Doctors orders.

David: Who said anything about getting up?

David pulls her into a passionate kiss. He runs one hand up the back of her thigh under her skirt, and the other is under her blouse on the small of hr back. He pulls her closer and she willingly goes. Their bodies are pressed together as they lay on the floor, lost in one another, ready to make love when Dorian pulls away.

Dorian: (sexed-up) David, stop.

David: (equally as sexed-up) David, Stop? That's something I never thought I'd hear you say.

Dorian: Now's not the time or the place. It someone sees us that won't help our case in court.

David: You're right. Let's go home.

They both get to their feet and straighten their appearances, but they cannot ignore the sexual energy between them and engage in one last passionate kiss before going home.
