Sam took Danny back to the penthouse.
"We're not going to Quartermaines?" Danny asked as they entered the parking garage.
"You said you had homework," Sam said, "I figured this would be less distracting so you could focus. We could have pizza delivered and still spend some time together."
"I'll pass," Danny said.
"If you change your mind," Sam said.
"I won't," Danny said.
Once upstairs, Danny ran upstairs to his room and shut the door. Sam called in a pizza delivery and collapsed on the couch.
Drew stopped by to pick up a few items and found Sam in tears on the couch.
"Hey, I thought you were picking up Danny," Drew said, "What's going on?"
"Danny's upstairs," Sam said, "Supposedly doing his homework."
"What happened?" Drew asked.
"Jason is talking about changing the custody agreement with Danny," Sam said, "He thinks maybe Danny should stay more with him all because I'm trying to help Kristina. Then Olivia stuck her two cents into it."
"Wow, I can't say I blame him especially after yesterday," Drew said, "Though I am surprised Jason would actually go there."
"What do you know about yesterday?" Sam asked.
"I took Oscar over to the campfire," Drew said, "Danny ignored Jake the entire time. Jared and Jamie confronted Danny about it from what I could tell and a fight broke out."
"So Danny and the twins get in a fight," Sam said, "And now Jason wants Danny to move in with them."
"I know you probably don't want to hear this," Drew said, "But you've been so tied up with Shiloh and Kristina, you've hardly spent any time with the kids. Though I can't imagine Jason would just decide to go for custody."
"He said was considering it if Danny's behavior didn't improve," Sam said, "and he wants to give Danny a choice about staying with at the Quartermaines as long I'm still trying to help Kristina."
"Kellie mentioned Shiloh was being looked at in connection to a fraud investigation with the foundation," Drew said, "Did she or Jason talk to you about that?"
"Yeah, but no one knows if anything can be proven," Sam said.
"Proven yet," Drew said, "Your cousin does have a pretty good track record with finding all the dirt on someone. She did hold up her end of the bargain to find stuff on Shiloh which means you can back off."
"I know, Drew," Sam said, "I want to say that I'm done and get back to normal. It's just Garrett kept slipping through the cops and Kellie's plans for so long that I'm worried this will be more of the same. I don't want to leave anything chance."
"Garrett is currently in prison," Drew said, "So I'd say his luck ran out. If Kellie is saying fraud happened at the foundation and is bringing it to the cops, I'd say there is a good chance Shiloh is going down if he's involved."
"If he's not," Sam asked, "Where does that leave Kristina?"
"Then you and Kellie revaluate how best to help Kristina as a team," Drew said, "In a way that doesn't keep you away from us. If I recall, the scrapes you two get into always work best when you work together."
"We do not get into scrapes," Sam said.
"You know what I mean," Drew said, "I'm worried for you and the kids if you keep getting in deep with Shiloh. Shiloh is tied to some pretty nasty people. What's to say he won't try to use the kids to get at you if he finds outs you're double crossing him? As much as he says he's over you cleaning his father out….."
"Now I just feel worse," Sam said, "I yelled at Jason for putting Danny in more danger if Danny were to live with him."
"As much as we don't want to admit this," Drew said, "if someone wants to go after Danny to get at Jason, they'll do it regardless of who he lives with. The important thing is making sure Danny feels like he is loved and knows he has family he can turn to. I don't think what we've been doing has been giving Danny that."
"I feel like I'm letting Kristina down," Sam said, "I wanted to believe I could help her and be there for the kids."
"The way Shiloh's played his con is to require you to abandon your kids whenever he says jump," Drew said, wrapping his arms around Sam, "By stepping back, you're not letting Kristina down. You're finding a different tactic and taking back control from Shiloh. Right now he's had all the control."
"I never thought of it that way," Sam said, "Damn he's good. Maybe I am too close to this to be able to do this effectively or out of practice. I thought because I could stay one step ahead of Shiloh and get Kristina to see who he really is."
"She will," Drew said, "It's just going to take time. In the meantime, I'd really like to see my wife again everyday."
"I'd really like that too," Sam said.
"So we're agreed," Drew said, "No more deep cover with Shiloh."
"I'm done," Sam said, "I can't keep putting us through this. You're right, we have to change tactics if the fraud investigation doesn't take Shiloh down.
Before Drew could kiss her, they were interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Can we tell them to go away?" Drew asked.
"That's probably the pizza I delivered," Sam said, "Want to have lunch with Danny and I?"
"I think I should go get that pizza," Drew said.
"Is Scout at the Quartermaines?" Sam asked as Drew got up.
"She and Alyssa were making Michael play barbies when I left," Drew said, "And putting on a show for Oscar."
Kelly's Diner
Jason and Jake spent time at the arcade and then went to Kelly's Diner.
"So how come everyone gets in trouble for the rest of the day but me," Jake asked.
"You didn't start the fight," Jason said, "You were just defending your brother."
"I know," Jake said, "Though I have to admit Danny did kind of deserve it."
"What makes you say that?" Jason asked.
"He doesn't want to spend time with us," Jake said, "I don't get it. He's just mean about it."
"I'm sorry that last night and yesterday didn't turn out the way you hoped," Jason said, "For right now unless Danny can play nice, maybe our visits should be just the two of us for awhile."
"Can you make Danny behave?" Jake asked, "Especially if he might have agreed to be nicer?"
"When would he have agreed to something like that?" Jason asked.
"I'm not saying he did," Jake replied, "But he could agree to something like that."
"I think I'd need to see his behavior improve first," Jason said, "I know you want every one to get along and maybe someday we'll get there."
"I hope so," Jake said, "Do you know what color the baby's room is going to be?"
"Not yet," Jason said.
"I was trying to decide what colors to I might want to paint with," Jake said, "For the picture for my new sister."
"I think you should just paint whatever you want," Jason said, "I'm sure it will be fine no matter what we decide to do with the nursery."
"But what if it doesn't match?" Jake asked.
"Does it have to match?" Jason said.
"I guess not," Jake replied, "Do you think Kellie will make the room pink?"
"I don't think Kellie would use an abundance of pink in the room," Jason said.
"But Alyssa's room has a lot of pink," Jake said.
"Because that is Alyssa's favorite color," Jason said.
"What room will the baby live in?" Jake asked.
"We haven't decided yet," Jason said.
"I think she should have the room with the built in shelves," Jake said, "It gets a lot of sunlight and has the window seat."
"I will talk to Kellie about it," Jason said.
"Tell her I have an idea about what to paint for her in that room," Jake said.
"Okay," Jason said, noticing Jake was talking more than he was eating.
"Promise?" Jake asked.
"I promise we will talk about the new baby's room being the one you suggested," Jason said, grabbing one of Jake's fries, "Are you going to finish these?"
"You still haven't finished your fries, Dad," Jake said, grabbing his fry back.
"Just checking," Jason said, "How's school?"
"It's school, Dad," Jake said, "You're still coming to my ball game next week right?"
"I'll be there," Jason said.
"Good," Jake said, "I volunteered you to bring snacks for the team."
"Okay," Jason said, making a note to ask Kellie what that involved later, "What kind of snacks?"
"Juice boxes and something healthy," Jake said.
"I'll take care of that," Jason said.
Jake and Jason finished their meal before Jason took Jake home. Jason walked with Jake to the door where Liz was waiting for them.
Jake excitedly rush to meet his mom, "I'm getting a baby sister."
"That's exciting," Liz said, "Did you have fun with your Dad?"
"It was more fun when Danny went home," Jake said, "But maybe he'll be nicer now that…"
Jake stopped as Cameron gave him a look from inside.
"Now that he knows he's getting a baby sister," Jake covered.
Liz wasn't so sure that was what Jake meant to say, but before she could ask Jake kept talking, "I'm going to go paint a picture for the baby's room. Thanks for the campfire and arcade, Dad. Don't forget juice boxes and snacks for the game next week."
Jake ran into the house like a whirlwind. Liz stepped outside the house with Jason and shut the door.
"Maybe Danny will be nicer now that what," Liz asked, "I really doubt finding out the baby's a girl is the reason Danny would be nicer."
"Sometime in the middle of the night when the boys were supposed be asleep, Cameron negotiated some sort of truce between all the boys," Jason said, "One we're not supposed to know about."
"Except Jake has a hard time keeping secrets," Liz laughed, "Is the truce working?"
"I think so," Jason said, "All I know is Danny toned down the attitude."
"Fingers crossed," Liz said, "I know Jake's been disappointed that Danny has been distant among other things."
"He's afraid of getting close to me or Jake because he's already lost both of us once thinking we were dead," Jason said.
"That's why he's taking out his issues on Jake," Liz said.
"It's not an excuse," Jason said, "But I thought you should know."
"I appreciate it," Liz said, "Did I hear Jake tell you to bring snacks for his game next week?"
"He apparently volunteered me for that," Jason said.
"I can take of that if…" Liz said.
"I'll do it," Jason said, "I want to especially since it's important to him."
"Well I'm glad Jake had a good time after such rough start to yesterday," Liz said, " but I have a shift to get ready for."
"I won't keep you then," Jason said, "Thanks for letting Jake stay last night and today."
"Of course," Liz said, "I'm really glad that you and Jake have been able to spend time together."
Later back at house, Jason found Olivia had taken the boys to the Quartermaines to do additional chores under Alice's watchful eye. Kellie was standing in the bedroom Jake had suggested for the baby's room.
"How was the spa?" Jason asked.
"Just what I needed," Kellie said, "until Carly ambushed me."
"Shopping?" Jason asked.
"Yeah," Kellie said, "Hazard of using the spa at her hotel."
"If you look it at this way," Jason said, "Carly will stop asking you to go shopping."
"I know," Kellie said, "I'm just not a huge fan of shopping. How was your day with Jake?"
"Fun," Jason said, "He beat me at air hockey."
"I'm sure he enjoyed that," Kellie said.
"What exactly are you doing in this room?" Jason asked.
"I was looking at this room and the guest room thinking about which one to use as our daughter's room," Kellie said, "Or if she and Alyssa should bunk together, but I have a feeling that wouldn't be a peaceful coexistence."
"Jake already told me she should have this one," Jason said, "He even has an idea for what to paint for her based off this room."
"I guess that settles it then," Kellie said.
"The guest room is all the way downstairs," Jason said.
"I thought this house was overkill in terms of its size when I bought it" Kellie said.
"It was the best option available with regards to security compared to some of the other houses," Jason said.
"And now we are using almost every bedroom and bonus room available," Kellie said, "I never thought I'd have use for a house the size of small mansion. And Sam called me. She's backing off Shiloh. I don't exactly why, but I think Drew had something to do with it and they are done with the fake separation."
"That's good," Jason said, "So what colors are you thinking about for our daughter's room?"
"Who are you and what have you done with Jason Morgan?" Kellie asked.
"Jake was asking," Jason replied.
"No idea yet," Kellie said, "Maybe we should see what Jake paints and base the colors on that."
Jason moved closer to Kellie, "I bet he'd really like that."
"And what exactly do you have in mind now, Boy Toy?" Kellie asked.
"I'd really hoped you'd forgotten that nickname," Jason said.
"No chance," Kellie said before Jason kissed her.
"What time will the kids be home?" Jason asked.
"Sometime after dinner," Kellie said, "And if I recall, I do owe you a game of strip pool since you hijacked my plans for that last time."
"I won if you recall," Jason said.
"You didn't even know I was planning that," Kellie said, stepping away from Jason and moving quickly towards the door, "First one to the pool table breaks first."
Jason chased Kellie down the hall and managed to block her by their bedroom door.
"What are you doing?" Kellie started asked before Jason started kissing her again.
"I'm winning at Strip Pool," Jason said, between kisses.
"We haven't even started," Kellie said, breathlessly. The next thing Kellie knew she and Jason were in the bedroom taking each others clothes off.
