Ewing Oil
Angelica Nero slipped past the security guard and made her way towards Ewing Oil. JR thought he was one step ahead of her but she would show him differently. She was relieved to see that there was noone in the reception area when she arrived, so she quickly hid the briefcase she was carrying under the desk of one of the secretaries. The bomb which had been placed in there was timed to go off in quarter of an hour, hopefully she would be well clear of the building by then, as she only intended to stay a few minutes with JR. As she turned the handle of the door to JR's office she thought she heard a noise coming from one of the other offices but decided to ignore it. As she entered the office JR was sat in his chair with his back towards her, however when he turned around she realized that it wasn't JR. She had been tricked.
Harry McSween summoned in the officers who were waiting in Bobby's old office, they handcuffed her, read her rights and then escorted her downstairs. She tried to struggle but it was no good, she silently cursed JR Ewing.
Waiting downstairs in her car was Mandy Winger, she saw the police take Angelica away and thought that JR must still be in his office. She knew if she could just talk to him she could convince him that she was the one he wanted and not Sue Ellen. She was younger and prettier and she wasn't an alcoholic. She waited a further five minutes in her car, then plucked up the courage to enter the building. She too, managed to sneak past the Security Guard. She walked into the reception area and called JR's name there was no reply, on opening the door she heard a mighty explosion come from behind her, the force of the explosion shattered the door of JR's office and she found herself forced into the room and trapped by the door. Glass from the window flew in her direction and hit her in the face. She tried to scream for help but there was noone to hear her.
An Amusement Park
For the past hour JR had spent the time riding the stomach churning rides with John Ross. His stomach pleaded with him to stop although the pleading tones of his son encouraged him to carry on. Sue Ellen, Clayton and Miss Ellie watched them.
"JR seems to be enjoying himself" Clayton said
Sue Ellen looked towards her husband whose face was turning a light shade of green.
"I don't know I think he needs rescuing, I say it's time we got some lunch" she replied
As JR and John Ross got off their last ride, Sue Ellen walked towards them.
"Hey you two it's time for some lunch" she said
"Mom, I want to go on some more rides" John Ross complained
"Later" Sue Ellen said
JR crept up behind her, putting his arms around her waist he whispered in her ear "You're taking him on the next ride" he smiled
Sue Ellen reached up and put her arms around his neck kissing his cheek "We'll see" she said
The family found a café and sat down to enjoy lunch. JR watched his son happily munch his way through two hog dogs.
"How the hell does he do that, after riding those rides" JR thought
"Daddy aren't you hungry?" John Ross asked
"Somehow those rides have taken away my appetite" JR replied
Miss Ellie laughed "Never thought I would see the day when JR couldn't face food" she said
After lunch Miss Ellie and Clayton took John Ross to look for the ice cream van leaving JR and Sue Ellen alone. Hand in hand they walked silently around the park and found a secluded area to sit down in. Sue Ellen looked at JR; wondering what he was really thinking about.
"Are you okay?" she asked
JR stretched out and lay with his head in her lap.
"I am now" He said "Our son has worn me out"
Sue Ellen laughed "Bet you wished you had gone to the office" she said
JR was silent; the truth was that Ewing Oil was the last thing on his mind. Sue Ellen had promised that whatever happened today they would face it together; and for once in his life that was all he cared about; being together with her and their son.
"No" JR said "At this precise moment in time, I don't care about Ewing Oil, I'm just enjoying being here with you"
"What's going to happen now that the police have Angelica" Sue Ellen asked
JR looked at her "I don't know" He said "Hopefully it won't affect Ewing Oil that much, with her safely locked away everything may turn back to normal"
"What's normal" she laughed "Come on admit it, you've never done things by the book" she smiled
"Hmm, but from now on I'm going to start, I put my life and my family's life in danger getting involved with her but not anymore, you're too precious to me" he said
"I love this new you, I just hope it lasts" she replied kissing him.
"I told you people can change" JR said "And I wanted you back and I knew I had to become a better husband to do that"
"After Bobby's death I felt that I had lost you too. You wouldn't let me comfort you and I knew that you still blamed me for not being here when John Ross was taken to hospital" she said
JR closed his eyes. He felt so guilty about the way he had treated her over the years; there was so much he wanted to say to her but something inside of him always stop him from pouring out his heart to her. Why couldn't he trust himself to let go off his true feelings.
"Sue Ellen…." He said "It's over I promise I will never hurt you again"
Sue Ellen kissed him "Come on, let's go and find our son"
The family stayed at the amusement park for another couple of hours. Sue Ellen joined JR and John Ross on a few of the rides while Miss Ellie and Clayton strolled around the park. At five o'clock they drove back to Southfork.
Southfork
After the family had eaten dinner and John Ross was safely tucked up in bed, JR went down into the den. He knew he had to phone Harry McSween to find out what had happened with Angelica. After a fifteen minute conversation JR put the phone down, sat back in his chair and closed his eyes unaware that Sue Ellen had entered the room.
"JR what's wrong?" she asked
JR sighed and opened his eyes "Everything" he replied "Apparently they arrested Angelica, she cursed me a bit but they've got her safely locked away" he said
"That's good isn't it?" Sue Ellen said
"Harry seems to think that he can come up with enough on her to put her away for a few years, but once she's out, who knows what she will do for revenge" JR said "Harry also told me that he's trying to keep Ewing Oil out of the equation"
"Good to have friends in the right places" Sue Ellen smiled
"You could say that" JR replied "However quarter of an hour after they had left the building the place was rocked by an explosion. The police, fire services and paramedics have been down there today. Everyone's been trying to get into contact with me"
"Sorry JR" Sue Ellen said
"Hey, don't be, there was nowhere else I'd rather be than with you and our son" JR said "And as we haven't had the television or the radio on we didn't know what was going on"
"What damage has been caused?" Sue Ellen asked
"Nothing that's not repairable, I'm going to have a look tomorrow" JR said "However there was someone trapped in the explosion"
"Who?" Sue Ellen asked
JR sighed "Mandy" he said "She must have come up looking for me"
"But I thought it was over between you two" Sue Ellen said
"Darlin', it was over a long time ago but she just wont take 'no' for an answer" JR said
"Has she been hurt badly" Sue Ellen asked
"Apparently her face has been cut badly by the glass from the window and her legs were trapped by the door, but I think she'll live. Harry said that the hospital told him that she keeps asking for me" JR said
"Do you want to see her?" Sue Ellen asked
JR looked at her "No" he said "All I want is you and John Ross"
"JR, you can see her if you want" Sue Ellen said
"There's no point" JR said "It's over, I've told her so many times, maybe now she'll face up to reality"
"We could face her together" Sue Ellen said
"You'd come with me?" JR asked
"If it stopped her going after my husband again I would" Sue Ellen said
JR looked at her and smiled "Do you fancy a walk, I could do with some fresh air" he said
"Okay" she smiled
JR wrapped his arm around her and they strolled out into the cool night air. It was still light so they decided to walk towards the lake. They came upon the treehouse with Bobby's grave nearby. They sat down and JR pulled Sue Ellen tightly towards him.
"What are you thinking?" Sue Ellen asked
"About life, how I wish things were different" JR said, he looked over towards Bobby's grave "I wish Bobby was here"
"So do I JR" she said "I miss him too"
"Do you think momma wishes it was me in that grave and not him?" JR asked
Sue Ellen looked at him and stroked his face "No sweetheart, no mother wants their child dead, no matter what they have done" she said "But I know she would do anything to have Bobby back"
"I remember the night he died, I begged him not to leave me" JR said "The last thing he said to us was 'be a family'" JR said "But I came home and tore a strip of you, I took all my anger out on you and I shouldn't have. I needed you to be there for me but I pushed you aside"
Sue Ellen had tears in her eyes "I know" she said
"I didn't mean those things" he said "You are the best mother John Ross could have; you put his needs first before what you want. And you're a warm loving human being who always manages to forgive me for whatever I do to you"
"That's easy" Sue Ellen replied "I love you"
"Then when you tried to talk to me after the funeral I sent you away" JR said "I didn't care what happened to you at that point because you were to blame for everything that had gone wrong, and without you at Southfork I could have Mandy"
Sue Ellen looked at him; what was going on in his mind she wondered. Why was he bringing this up now?
"Then when we found you in the detox centre that was the worse day of my life. I realized what I had done to you and I felt so guilty, momma told me I needed to sign the papers to commit you to the Sanitarium; she was right" JR said
"I hated being in that place, but it made me face what I was; I finally accepted that I was an alcoholic" Sue Ellen said
"I guess that was partly my fault" JR said "I drove you to it"
Sue Ellen was silent "I don't know it can also be inherited; my father was an alcoholic" she said
"Being married to your mother I'm not surprised" JR laughed
"JR!" she replied "My mother's okay in small doses"
"Sorry but its true" JR said
"When I came out of the sanitarium, she was there for me; I knew I couldn't go back to Southfork and she supported me" Sue Ellen said
"Why did you let John Ross stay at Southfork when you had custody of him?" JR asked
"I told you at the time; John Ross was happiest at Southfork, he wanted to stay and I knew if I forced him to come with me then I would be doing the same to him as my mother did to me" Sue Ellen said "My mother had my life mapped out for me from the age of 5 and what I wanted did not count. I wasn't prepared to do that to him"
"Did you ever consider going off with Dusty?" JR asked
"He wanted me to; however I couldn't leave Dallas not with John Ross here. At the end of the day it was a choice between him and John Ross and there wasn't really any competition; no matter what my son comes first" Sue Ellen said "What changed JR?"
"What do you mean" JR asked
"A year ago you hated me, you wanted me out of your life; all you cared about was John Ross and Mandy; now look at us" Sue Ellen said
"I don't know" JR replied "Mostly I saw you in a new light. The way you came back from rock bottom; you've changed so much. Then you did so well at Graison's research and I just fell in love with you. Suddenly I found myself spending nights with Mandy wishing that it was you I was holding in my arms"
"That must have been a bit of a disappointment for Mandy, she was expecting to become the next Mrs JR Ewing" Sue Ellen said
"All I wanted was you but I knew I had to change; so I did" JR said
"When did you really finish with Mandy?" Sue Ellen asked
"It was over a long time ago; but I tried to convince myself that it was her I wanted and not you. The night of the Oil Baron's ball when you showed up with your mother. You looked amazing; all I wanted to do was take you in my arms and dance the night away with you but I knew that I had hurt you so badly that you wouldn't want me so I pretended to be annoyed that you were there and of course Mandy was there; then you turned up at the Rodeo and won the Barrel Race; I knew you would; I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and love for you but I had to put those feelings out of my mind because I was with Mandy and I needed to love her, you were in the past. But do you want to know something stupid?" JR said
"What?" Sue Ellen replied
"Do you remember at the Rodeo I accused you of causing trouble and you told me that you didn't care if I threw Mandy into the Rodeo Ring and made love to her in front of everyone?" he said
"I remember" she replied
JR laughed "What I wanted to say, what I really wanted to say was that I'd sooner do it to you"
Sue Ellen laughed
"Then of course when you moved back to Southfork, Mandy was furious but I convinced her that it was for John Ross' sake that there was nothing between you and me anymore. However she decided that she would pay me back for that and started to see Cliff Barnes giving him information about me; when I found out I played along for a time; fed her useless information to see what would happen and sure enough it went straight to Cliff" JR said
"So you split up with her because she betrayed you?" Sue Ellen said
"No, not really I split up with her because I love you; Mandy was a fling, that's all she ever was to me" JR said
"When Angelica held that gun to you head when you were in Martinique, what was really going through your mind" Sue Ellen said
"Like I told you; that I would never see you again; I would never be able to tell you that I love you and was sorry about the way I treated you" JR said
"JR Ewing, you are the most infuriating man I've ever know!" Sue Ellen said "All I ever wanted was to love you and for you to love me and only me. Do you realize how much time we have wasted over the years?"
JR smiled "Not anymore though; the night of the Graison's Fundraiser I made a commitment to you and promised that you would be the only woman in my life and I meant it, from this moment on you are the only woman I want to be with" he said "It's taken me a long time to realize this but the one person who offered me unconditional love was standing right beside me; with all the power inside of me I'm going to make up for all the bad times; with every beat of my heart I love you Sue Ellen"
"I love you too" she replied "JR, you have to trust me; whenever you have a problem I want to be the first person you go to; I want to be the one who holds you in my arms and tells you that everything will be okay; I'm your wife but I also want to be your best friend; from this moment on we will face things together I don't want you bottling things up"
"Okay" JR said "But you know I'm no good at talking about my feelings"
Sue Ellen smiled "But you can learn and I promise that I will never hurt you; I will always listen to you and I'm always on your side; you will never know how much I truly love you" she said
"Oh I think I do" JR smiled "After all I've done to you, you're still here; you're one special lady" he said
Sue Ellen laughed and kissed him.
"Hey do you know our son wants to quit school and join me in Ewing Oil?" JR said
"I figure that would come up soon; he really enjoyed that day he spent in the oilfields with you" she replied "What did you tell him?"
"I told him to speak to you!" He laughed "Seriously, I said he needed to finish school and enjoy being a little boy. He's six years old; a year older than I was when I started at Ewing Oil but that's not what I want for him. I want him to grow up to know that I love him and he's not just my business partner and heir to Ewing Oil. I promised him I would still take him on trips to the oilfields when school is out; we might even be able to persuade you to join us"
"JR this is the man I want the rest of the world to see; the father who lovingly carries his son upstairs when he's fast asleep after visiting the oilfields; the father who reads his son bedtime stories; the gentleman who really does love his family and do anything for them. But you hide that side to you so well" Sue Ellen said "Then maybe the rest of the world will understand why I love you so much"
JR kissed her and an idea popped into his head
"Sue Ellen." He said "Marry me!"
"JR we are married" She replied
"I know but let's renew our vows and this time I will put a new wedding ring on your finger; a sign of a strong and everlasting love which will never ever be broken" he said
Sue Ellen looked at him; she felt her heart was going to burst "I love you so much; you really are trying to change I saw that today when you came back to us instead of going to Ewing Oil and yes I would love to marry you" she said
"How about New Years' Eve" JR said "A new beginning for a new year"
"Sounds perfect" she replied
"This time I'm going to make you so proud of me" JR said
"I already am" Sue Ellen smiled, she looked towards Bobby's grave "And so would Bobby be" she said
"Do you believe he's still with us?" JR asked
"Yes" Sue Ellen said "Maybe he's one of the stars that shine at night looking down on us and making sure everything is alright; maybe he's the breeze blowing through the trees; but I know he's still here; watching us, guiding us through life. As long as he lives within us in our memory he will never die"
JR looked at her "You really believe that"
"Yes" she said "I also know that Bobby loved you very much; there's also something else that Bobby would want and that is for you to stop antagonizing Pam; forget she's a Barnes; start treating her as a person in her own right, she's married to Mark now so please just treat her with some respect"
"Bobby still loved her didn't he?" JR said
"They were planning to remarry" Sue Ellen said "That was why he was at Pam's the morning he died; they had spent the night together and he was coming home to tell everyone that they were going to get married"
"I didn't know that" JR said
"Mark told me a while back" Sue Ellen said "So please be nice to Pam; if not for her sake do it for Bobby"
JR looked at her
"I know I'm asking a lot but please try" she said
"Okay!" he replied "I'll try"
"Hey, it's getting late we should go back to the ranch" Sue Ellen said
They both stood up and started walking back to the ranch. JR looked up at the stars beginning to shine in the sky.
"Do you really believe he's up there Sue Ellen?" JR asked
Sue Ellen looked up "Yes, I'm sure he is"
JR looked up at the stars "Bobby I love you" He said "Do you think he head me?"
Sue Ellen hugged him tightly "Of course he did"
They walked back towards the house. JR held Sue Ellen tightly; he really didn't want to let go off her. They found Miss Ellie and Clayton in the living room.
"How was your walk" Miss Ellie asked
"Fine" JR said "Have you heard the news?"
"No" Clayton said "We haven't had the television on"
"Well Angelica was arrested this morning but not before she planted a bomb inside Ewing Oil" JR said
"What" Clayton Said?
"The bomb exploded fifteen minutes after the police took her away" JR said "I'm going to look at the damage tomorrow"
"JR you should never have got involved with Angelica Nero" Clayton said
"I know that now" JR said "It's getting late, I'm going to bed"
"Night" Miss Ellie said
"Night Miss Ellie, Night Clayton" Sue Ellen said as she followed JR upstairs.
Before they entered their room they peeked into John Ross' room. They both laughed to find their son fast asleep with a pair of headphones on his head. Sue Ellen walked over to him and removed the headphones and gently kissed him.
"He loves listening to the tapes you made for him" JR said
"So I see, however they were supposed to be for when I wasn't at home and couldn't read him a bedtime story" she laughed "If I remember rightly he had two stories tonight!"
JR laughed "He's a chip of the old block" He said
"I hope not!" Sue Ellen smiled
They quietly closed John Ross' door and then entered their own room. JR held Sue Ellen in a tight embrace.
"For once in his life, Clayton is right, I put the whole family at risk when I got involved with Angelica; it could have been you or John Ross caught in that explosion" JR said
"JR, it's over; you have to learn by your mistakes and move on" Sue Ellen replied "Are you going into the office tomorrow?"
"I need to see what's happening" JR said "See what sort of damage has been done"
"Do you want some company?" Sue Ellen asked
JR thought for a moment; throughout their married life JR had kept her out of his business dealing and out of anything to do with Ewing Oil. He had to go through the bad times on his own but this was a new start for them and he wanted Sue Ellen by his side.
"I would love you to be there" He said "But don't you have to go to work"
"I have to pop in at some point but Mark and Pam are on their honeymoon, so I can go with you to the office first" she said "Maybe you can join me at Grayson's after and go through some ideas I have.
JR kissed her "Sounds good to me" he said
"Then perhaps after lunch we could go to the hospital to see Mandy" Sue Ellen said
JR looked at her in surprise "What!" he said
"On second thoughts make that before lunch, I don't think I could stomach seeing her before" Sue Ellen laughed
JR kissed her "We don't have to see her at all" he said
"Yes, but she's going to keep pestering you if we don't tell her once and for all that it's over" Sue Ellen said "It is over, isn't it?"
"You know it is" JR said "I love you and only you, from now on you're the only woman I want to be with"
Sue Ellen kissed him "Show me" she smiled
JR tenderly kissed her
"No wait" Sue Ellen said "I'm going to get changed" as she moved away from him into the bathroom.
JR let out a groan and fell onto the bed. "Hurry up then!"
Sue Ellen laughed at him, ten minutes later she walked back into the bedroom wearing her robe. JR walked towards her and took her in his arms.
"Mmm" he said "No idea what you're wearing this for" as he undid her robe, then slowly slipped it off her.
JR pushed her onto the bed and climbed on top of her; he worked his way down her body leaving no place untouched. Sue Ellen closed her eyes and let him love her; delighting in the feel of his tongue as he licked his way down her body. JR stopped at her inner thigh and looked at her. He then pushed his tongue between her and found her love button which he began to gently lick. Sue Ellen opened her legs wider to allow him better access and he began to suck on her, increasing his movements all the time. Finally she could take no more and reached for him.
"Haven't finished" He said
"I need you" she moaned "I can't hold on for much longer"
"Then don't" he smiled as he continued to lick her.
Sue Ellen finally let herself go; her juices flowing over JR's tongue. Finally JR stopped what he was doing and worked his way back up her body.
"JR let me help you out of those clothes" Sue Ellen laughed
"Be my guest" JR said
They rolled over so that she was on top of him. Sue Ellen decided she could take anymore and wanted him inside of her so she reached for his trousers. JR gently put his hand over hers.
"Not yet" he said "Start at the top"
Sue Ellen began my removing his shirt, and then just as he had done she kissed her way down his body. As her hand went to the zip of his trousers she undid them and gently took his manhood in her hands. She then began to stroke him. Once she had removed his trousers and socks she then went back her favourite part of him. Looking up at him she saw that he had his eyes closed, she then did the one thing she had never done for him before; she took him in her mouth. JR opened his eyes in shock; it was something he had never asked her to do as he thought it wasn't something you asked a lady to do. Sue Ellen continued her sucking motion until finally JR couldn't take anymore.
"Come here" he said
"No" Sue Ellen laughed "What's wrong, don't you like this?"
"Hell yes" JR said "But I'm cumming"
"What you waiting for" she laughed as she increased her actions.
JR couldn't take anymore and finally spilt his seed inside her mouth. Sue Ellen swallowed every drop, licking her lips afterwards. JR stretched out his arms for her and she climbed into them.
"That was amazing" he said "But where did you learn that"
"That would be telling" she laughed
"Your mother would be ashamed of you if she knew what you had just done" JR said "Ladies are not supposed to do that"
Sue Ellen laughed "I won't tell if you won't" she said
They lay locked in a tight embrace "Don't tell me none of your girlfriends have never done that to you" she said
JR grimaced "No, but it's not something I would of asked my wife to do" he said
"Is that why you needed them to do things with them that you felt afraid to ask me to do" she asked
"Partly and then there was the feeling of power; the thrill of the chase" he said
"Did you love them?" she asked
"Sue Ellen it was never about love; I had a family at home who I loved, they didn't mean anything" he said
"Make love to me again" Sue Ellen said
"My pleasure" JR replied and slowly they began to make love both enjoying the closeness of each other's body. When they were finished they lay wrapped in a tight embrace. JR watched at Sue Ellen drifted off to sleep. His thoughts went to the future and wondering what it would bring. He thought about how much he would love more children but something inside him told him it wouldn't happen. Sue Ellen had once told him that they would never have anymore children, hopefully one day he would be able to change her mind about that.
The following morning JR got up early and went into the shower while Sue Ellen was sleeping. While he was getting dressed Sue Ellen woke up.
"You're up early" she said
"Good morning" he replied "You know what they say the early bird catches the worm"
"Are you okay?" she asked
"Yes, just thinking about he mess I've made of Ewing Oil" he said
Sue Ellen got out of bed and put on her robe; walking over to JR she wrapped her arms around him.
"Everything will be fine" she said
"Hey, that robe looks better off you than on" he laughed
"You're terrible" she said "But seriously we'll get through today together"
"I had a great time yesterday, with the family at the park, I'm so glad I turned back home" JR said "We should do that more often"
Sue Ellen smiled "We will" she said "Right I'm going to get dressed"
After breakfast JR and Sue Ellen took John Ross to school and then went to Ewing Oil. As JR got out of the car, he looked up and saw the boarded up window of his office; remembering that the glass had shattered at the bomb's explosion. Sue Ellen walked over to him and took his hand.
"Come on let's go and see what the damage is" she said
The elevator was out of action so they had to walk up the stairs; on entering the reception area they saw at first hand what the explosion had done. The blast from the explosion had shattered the glass in the windows and splinters of glass lay on the floor, the furniture in the area was damaged. JR spent a couple of minutes with the police sergeant who was dealing with the incident. Sue Ellen walked over to JR's office and looked inside; it looked very much like the reception area. Finally JR was ready to leave. As they got into the car, JR turned to Sue Ellen and said
"I can't believe how much mess has been made"
"But that's all it is a mess, noone was seriously hurt" she replied "Once the police have finished you can start to put things back together"
"I noticed the portrait of daddy that was hanging in my office is ruined" he said
"Not necessarily" Sue Ellen said "We might be able to get it repaired"
"Maybe we should let Ewing Oil go" JR said
Sue Ellen looked at him "No, that isn't what you want, we'll get it back together again" she said
"Will you help me?" he asked
"Of course" she said "Like I told you last night I'm not just your wife I'm also your best friend"
"Where do you want to go now?" JR asked
Sue Ellen sighed "We could go to the hospital" she said
"You sure" JR asked
"Yes, let's get that woman out of our lives forever" she replied
About twenty minutes later they arrived at the hospital. JR reached for Sue Ellen's hand and squeezed it gently as they walked inside. As they approached Mandy's room Sue Ellen told JR to go in by himself.
"I don't want to" JR said "I thought we were going to do this together"
"I'll follow you shortly" she replied
JR walked into the hospital room. Mandy turned around when she heard him say her name. JR was stunned by what had happened to her face. The glass had implanted itself deep into her face and she was covered in deep scratches which had been sutured. Both her legs had been broken by the door crashing down on her.
"I knew you would come" she said
"What were you doing there?" JR asked
"I wanted to see you, to tell you that I was prepared to wait until you were ready to leave Sue Ellen" she replied
"I'm never leaving Sue Ellen; I told you I love her" JR said
"But I can make you happier than she can" Mandy replied
"Mandy it's over, in fact it never really started; I could never leave Sue Ellen for you" JR said "I only love her; she's the only woman I want to be with"
"You'll come back to me" Mandy said "You know you wont be able to resist me"
"Get out of Dallas" JR said "Just leave me and my family alone"
Sue Ellen listened by the closed door, softly she opened it and walked in.
"Take JR's advice and find someone of your own" Sue Ellen said
"JR doesn't love you, he loves me" Mandy replied
JR shook his head, reaching for Sue Ellen's hand he pulled her closer to him and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"You're wrong Mandy, Sue Ellen and I are going to renew our vows" JR said "I've made a commitment to her and I intend to keep it"
"JR…..please I can give you so much more than she can" Mandy cried
"Mandy I don't want you to come near me or my family again" JR said
"She'll never be enough for you" Mandy said "Cliff told me it would only last for a few months and then you'll be back knocking at my door"
"Mandy are you that desperate that you have to steal someone else's husband" Sue Ellen asked "Find someone of your own and leave my man alone"
"I'm staying in Dallas" Mandy said
"By the way, your apartment is up for sale" JR said
"You brought it for me" Mandy said
"Yes and now I'm selling it" JR said "You have two weeks to get out of there"
"At the moment I'm stuck in here, thanks to you" Mandy replied
"That isn't my problem" JR said "Just make sure you're moved out of that apartment by next month"
"And where do you suppose I live" Mandy said
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" JR said "Goodbye Mandy, and just stay away from my family or I'll make you regret the day you ever heard the name JR Ewing"
"Sue Ellen don't think you've won, I'm going to get him back" Mandy said
JR and Sue Ellen walked out of the room hand in hand.
"You are sure this is what you want?" she asked
"Sue Ellen, there is no contest, she was just a plaything and I got bored with her" JR said "But the one person I can't get bored with is you"
"I love you" she said
"I love you too" JR said "More than words can describe"
They then went into the Grayson's Research for a couple of hours where Sue Ellen showed JR what she planned for the next fundraiser; JR told her he would talk to a few people and see what he could do to help. She then showed him around the Research Centre and explained what new projects they were undertaking. JR was so impressed with how she had changed.
"You're incredible" he said
"Thankyou" she replied "I never thought I would love working as much as I do, it just gives me a sense of independence and not just Mrs JR Ewing"
"It seems strange I mean you're great at spending money but you're also great at making it" JR laughed
"Call it my feminine charm" she laughed
"Hey I'm hungry" JR said "Let's eat"
JR drove them into town, after ordering they sat in silence for a while.
"What are you thinking JR" Sue Ellen asked
"Just about the past and my many mistakes" he replied "I've done some really horrible things to you"
"It's in the past" Sue Ellen said
JR looked at her; he thought he had never seen her looking more beautiful than she did at this moment. Suddenly the only thing he felt hungry for was her.
"You're are amazing; I'm just glad that you forgave me, I knew this time it wouldn't be so easy getting you back" JR said
Sue Ellen laughed "Why do you say that"
Well for the first time ever, you were independent, you had Grayson Research, Jerry Kenderson and I realized you didn't need me" he said "I thought I had lost you; I remember the first Fundraiser I went to with you, I found myself totally captivated by you and that's when I realized that I was falling in love with you again"
"I don't think I will ever stop loving you JR" Sue Ellen said
"There are so many things I regret" JR said "Most of all the way I've treated you over the years and the time we've wasted; I want to make up for everything"
"JR, the past is behind us; all I want is a future with you and our son" Sue Ellen replied "Let's not waste anymore time"
"John Ross is growing up so fast" JR said "I missed out on so much of his growing up, I wish we could go back to when he was tiny"
"So do I" Sue Ellen said "We both missed out on his early days, that's what I feel so guilty about the way I rejected him when he was born"
"I think you've made up for that" JR said
JR went silent; thinking about how much of his son growing up he has missed, remembering the first time he held John Ross; and how his tiny son had helped him through the grief he felt at losing his own father.
"JR" Sue Ellen said
"Yes" JR replied
"What are you thinking?" she asked
"Just remembering the time I first held my son" he said "Sue Ellen I don't want John Ross to be an only child, I want another baby but I know you don't"
"What makes you think I don't" Sue Ellen said
"You told me some time ago" JR said
"That was then; I wasn't prepared to bring another child into our sham of a marriage" Sue Ellen said "But now it's different; you promised me a total commitment; I want a secure marriage filled with love and children"
JR smiled "Do you think we've left it too late?" He asked
"No" Sue Ellen said "But I don't want the pressure we had last time; let's wait and see what happens"
"Just think of all the fun we can have trying!" JR laughed
"Exactly" Sue Ellen said
"When do we start" JR asked
"I thought we already had" Sue Ellen laughed "But remember JR; this time I want things to be perfect; with all of my heart I love you and only you, promise me that you will never stop loving me"
"I promise" JR said "I'm going to make every day a happy one for you"
