Chapter 30
Just before lunchtime dawn walked into tops and sat down next to her brother,who was sitting at the bar;"I'm sorry about asking Cheryl all those things,chad,I will come to you next time I want to know something."
"Does your husband know that you're downhere?"asked chad looking up;"I don't think he would be all that happy if he knew that you were with me right now."
"Why wouldn't scott be happy about me being here with you?"started his sister confused;"Why,chad?"
"Scott doesn't want me to come near you while you're pregnant because of the risk of me upsetting you like I did yesterday."answered he annoyed;"He came downhere lastnight and warned me to stay away from you."
"He did what?"said dawn a bit shocked;"Why would scott do something as stupid as that?"
"He said that I'd upset you and that it wasn't good for you right now."began her brother slowly;"You can ask felica if you don't believe me,dawn,because she was with me when your husband told me to stay away from you."
"Scott had no right to do that!"answered she angry and got up again;"He can't tell you that you can't see me anymore as long as I'm pregnant!"
"Calm down a bit."warned chad his sister worried and grabbed her arm;"I'm not going to let you go anywhere while you're like this!"
"But scott can't just come downhere and tell you to stay away from me just because I was a little bit upset after our talk yesterday."said his sister still angry;"He doesn't get to decide who can or can't see me,chad!"
"No,he can't,but scott probably only did what he thought was the best thing to do and because he's worried about you and your baby."answered he;"I probably would have done the same thing if I had been in his shoes,so don't be too hard on him."
"How can you defend him like that after what he did?"asked dawn confused;"There's no excuse for what scott did!"
"Please,dawn,I don't want to cause any problems for you two at a time like this."started her brother slowly;"Just let it go!"
"No,I can't."answered she and walked away;"I can't let scott get away with something like this."
At the hospital m.j. was there to see vince with her mother when they ran into Jamie,who stopped her;"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"I'll go on ahead to your father's room."said mary and walked further;"Bye,Jamie."
"Bye,mary."answered the young doctor as he turned towards m.j. again;"How are you feeling?"
"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?"asked she surprised;"To ask me how I'm feeling?"
"No,I also wanted to ask you to let me give you a full check-up."started Jamie slowly;"To see how your health is."
"My health is fine,Jamie,I don't need a check-up!"answered his friend irritated;"Did adam put you up to this or something?"
"Why would adam ask me to give you a check-up?"asked he confused when he started to put two and two together;"Unless…"
"Unless nothing!"said m.j. angry and started to walk away again;"I'm fine and I don't need a check-up,Jamie,so just mind your own business."
"M.j…."started the young doctor while he followed her;"I'm just worried about you."
"Don't be!"answered she and stopped as she got to vince's room;"I'm fine!"
"No,you're not."said Jamie hesitating;"I know that something happened to you in new York because I have seen the scars."
"Just leave me alone!"warned his friend him and quickly walked into vince's room,where her mother was sitting next to her father's bed;"Hi,guys."
Shane was having lunch with Nicole at tops when he saw her face turning almost white all of a sudden;"Are you okay,Nicole?"
"No,I'm not!"answered she and pointed at the elevator behind them;"Not with him back in town!"
"Who?"asked her boyfriend confused as he turned his head to see who she was pointing at and saw an older man near the elevator;"Do you mean him?"
"I never would have thought that he would have the guts to show his face downhere again."said Nicole while she got up and walked up to the man;"What are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too,Nicole."smiled he;"Aren't you happy to see me?"
"What do you think?"asked she angry as shane showed up next to her;"That we would be happy if you came back again?"
"I see that you haven't changed much."laughed the man and walked away;"See you next time."
"Not if I can help it."yelled Nicole on after him;"I'd rather see you dead first!"
"What was that all about?"asked her boyfriend worried while they walked back towards their table;"I have never seen you like this before,Nicole,who is that man?"
"That was regioneld love or laSalle as he calls himself sometimes too."started she softly;"My father."
"No wonder that you're so upset."said shane shocked as he put his arms around her to comfort her;"What is he doing back in town after all the things that he has done in the past?"
"How am I suppose to know that?"asked his girlfriend annoyed and pushed shane away;"I have to tell donna right away,shane,before she runs into him herself."
"Then let me drive you overthere,because you're in no state to drive yourself right now!"answered he;"I will call the station to let them know that I'll be a little late."
"Let's go then."said Nicole as she started walking towards the elevators and pulled shane with her;"I have to talk to my sister right now."
At the laSalle's scott had been waiting for dawn to come home for a while,after he'd come home to have lunch with his wife and son,when he heard her coming in through the backdoor and he went into the kitchen;"Where have you been?"
"Why did you tell my brother to stay away from me?"asked dawn angry;"Are you crazy or something?"
"I did what I thought was best for you and our baby."answered her husband irritated;"I should have known that he would come running to you about that,dawn!"
"I went to see chad and that's when he told me,because he thought that I knew about what you'd done!"said she;"What right do you have of telling people that they can't come near me untill the end of my pregnancy?"
"I was only thinking of you and the baby that's growing inside of you,dawn,I saw how upset you were and I wanted to protect you!"
"Why do you even think that I would need your protection?"asked dawn still angry;"Chad is my big brother and don't you think that it would have upset me even more if I wasn't able to see him anymore?"
"All I know is that you were really upset after you went to see him yesterday,just like you are now, and that isn't good for your health right now!"started he slowly;"Please,try to understand that I was only doing what I thought was best for you and seeing your brother,who's always causing trouble where ever he goes,isn't what's good for you right now!"
"Don't talk about my brother like that!"warned his wife him;"Don't ever tell the people that I love and care about that they have to stay away from me!"
"Fine!"answered scott angry as well as he started to walk away;"Have it your way,dawn,but don't come complaining to me if something should happen to you or to our baby!"
"Go to hell,scott laSalle!"yelled she on after him;"Damn you!"
Later that day Kathleen was working behind the counter at mary's place together with her brother and sister when all of a sudden regioneld walked in;"What are you doing here?"
"Is mary here?"asked regioneld;"I came to see her."
"My mother doesn't want to see you!"answered Kathleen irritated;"Nobody in this town wants to see you,so why don't you just go back to where you came from,regioneld!"
"I can't do that."smiled he and turned around;"Besides,you can't decide for your mother if she wants to see me or not,so I will be back again."
"Who was that joker?"asked ben a bit surprised about his sister's attitude after regioneld had left;"What does he want from mom?"
"That was regioneld love or whatever he's calling himself these days."answered his younger sister;"We told you about him after mama came back,didn't we?"
"He's nothing but trouble and if pops had seen him downhere he would have killed him with his bare hands."said Kathleen;"Pops can't know that he's in town,guys."
"What do you think he wants from mama,Kathleen?"asked her sister worried;"Do you think he came back again for her?"
"I have no idea why he came back again,Cheryl,but I do know that this means trouble."answered she softly;"As if we didn't have enough to deal with right now."
"Hello,guys,I have got great news."smiled mary as she suddenly walked in and saw the worried looks on their faces;"What's wrong,guys,what happened?"
"You first."said her son quickly;"Tell us your great news,mom."
"Allright,your father might becoming home again next week."answered she worried;"Now one of you is going to tell me what is going downhere!"
"Regioneld is back again."started Kathleen slowly;He was here just before you came in."
"No,please,tell me that you're joking."begged her mother shocked;"Oh,my god,if vince were to find out that he's back again…."
