Hope:

"Abe, Justin, Brady? Oh my gosh. Why? I'm not a horrible person? Why would I do this? What would posses me to be so evil?"

Stephanie:

"I'm so glad that you want to stay together."

Nathan:

"Me too."

"How about we go inside and have some lunch?"

"I would love to, but I can't. I got paged before I got here and I'm needed back at the hospital. I just wanted to get some coffee."

Stephanie:

"Oh okay. Well how about I go in and get you some coffee then bring it to you at the hospital? And maybe even a sandwich or something?"

"Stephanie Johnson and you're very welcome. Anytime."

"Stephanie Johnson. Beautiful name."

Stephanie:

"Thank you."

Eddie:

"You're welcome. Well I better get going. I've held you up enough."

Stephanie:

"You're completely fine. You just made my day brighter. It's good to see you better and that I was able to help you with that."

Eddie:

"I'm glad that I did. You're way too beautiful to be down. You're such a kind person."

"Why don't you occupy yourself like opening that box?"

"What box? Oh my world. How did I miss that?

Alice:

"Is it from the children?"

She picks up the card and smiles. She looks over at Tom.

Alice:

"Tom it's from you. And the box is so pretty I hate to open it. Oh darling it's lovely."

Tom:

"Would you please open it before you talk it to death."

Alice:

"Alright."

Alice pulls the ribbon off the box and opens it up. Inside of the box there was a black box. She picks it up and opens the box to see a beautiful red and gold necklace with a big red ruby in the middle.

Brady:

"I don't believe this. This is just another scheme to get me, but it's not going to work. You should have thought of something more convincing."

"I'm not lying."

"Leave Will out of this. He hasn't done anything."

"He has. He got in my way."

Will:

"I'm not going to let you hurt Mia again."

Colin:

"Aww…I think that is sweet that you want to protect the teenage slut that played both you and her baby daddy then kept the truth about your attack from you."

Will:

"Attack? What are you talking about?"

Colin:

"When you and Chad were digging through his mom's safe deposit box, do you remember getting hit over the head? That was me and Mia knew about it."

Will looks at Mia.

Mia:

"I found out after. I didn't tell him to do it. It's all a part of his stupid revenge plot that I don't want to have any part of."

Colin:

"Oh now you don't want any part of it since you're not getting your way."

Mia:

"No because you're a psycho and I should have never gotten involved with you."

"Not good. Chloe and I got into a huge fight last night and I told her to move out and she did. Now I'm not so sure if I want her gone."

Melanie:

"I know that I don't want Philip anymore. My marriage is over."

Melanie sits down on the bench.

Daniel:

"You can do better than Philip."

Melanie:

"I know that's why I ended our marriage. Philip is going to file today."

Daniel:

"That is great news. You should be celebrating not crying."

Melanie:

"Philip isn't the reason I'm crying."

Daniel:

"Then what's wrong?"

Philip:

"Chloe hey. What's wrong?"

Chloe:

"I scheduled an amino for today. Could you come down to the hospital so you can give a DNA sample?"

Philip:

"That's great. I'll be down there in a few."

Chloe:

"Great I'll see you then."

Philip:

"Bye Chloe."

Philip hangs up the phone as Maggie walks in.

Maggie:

"You didn't waste any time did you?"

Philip turns around.

Philip:

"What do you mean? Moving out?"

Maggie:

"No weren't you just talking to Chloe?"

Philip:

"Yeah I was."

Maggie:

"Planning a romantic evening together to pick out baby names?"

Philip:

"Not that it's any of your business, but no we weren't. Chloe was telling me that she scheduled an amino today. I need to give a sample so she can prove to Daniel that he the father so they can get back together."

Maggie:

"So you want Chloe and Daniel to be happy together?"

Philip:

"Yes. I want that more than anything. I already did enough to screw that up."

Maggie:

"But where that leave you?"

Philip:

"All alone I guess."

Maggie:

"Just like you deserve."

Philip:

"Maybe I do, but I'm not the only one that did wrong here. Melanie was busy pining away for your Grandson."

"I actually want to talk to Nicole for a moment. Just one minute."

Nicole:

"Sure why not."

Lexie:

"One minute. I'll be timing you."

Lexie walks out of the room.

EJ:

"Brady doesn't seem too excited about this baby."

Nicole:

"He will be. He just needs some time."

EJ:

"I don't need time. I'm willing to do whatever to make you comfortable. Give you a more suitable place to live than that motel."

Nicole:

"I will have a more suitable place to live. It's call the Kiriakis mansion in Brady's bed. My baby will be well taken care of and so will I. We don't need you EJ. So get going your minute is almost up."

EJ:

"You really think I will allow Brady Black or any other Kiriakis take care of my child?"

Nicole:

"This isn't your child."

EJ:

"It might be and I have a right to a DNA test."

Nicole:

"The only right you have EJ is to shut up because if you breathe a word of this to anybody I will tell Sami that you kidnapped Sydney so fast you won't have time to figure out how to cover your ass. So what is it EJ? Do you want to risk not being a part of Johnny and Sydney's lives anymore all because of this baby that might not even be yours? Because you know that is what's going to happen. Sami will cut you off from them and then have them calling Rafe daddy. Is that what you want EJ? Because I don't think that is what you want."

EJ prepares to speak then stops. He takes a deep breath.

EJ:

"It is not."

Nicole:

"Good then we agree. You can run along now. Baby Black and I need a nap….doctor's orders."

"About what you said to EJ."

Chloe:

"About being pregnant?"

Nicole:

"Is it true?"

Chloe:

"Yeah it is."

Nicole:

"Oh my gosh. I can't believe that we're both pregnant at the same time. This is going to be so great."

Chloe:

"Yeah it will be once I find out who's the father. That's why I scheduled an amino today."

Nicole:

"That's great. The sooner the better. Find out that Daniel is the father so you two can get back together."

Chloe:

"I don't think it will be that easy."

Nicole:

"It will be once I get out of here. I will help you get him back."

Chloe:

"I see that getting hit by a car hasn't changed you."

Nicole:

"Nope."

They laugh.

Nicole:

"Ooh I have something for you in my purse."

"So how's everything with you?"

EJ:

"Alright I guess."

Abe:

"Is there something wrong with Sami?"

EJ:

"She's getting better. I checked before I left the hospital."

Abe:

"You didn't go there to see her?"

EJ:

"No I went to see Nicole."

Abe:

"Oh yeah she was hit by a car right?"

EJ:

"Yep she was, but is doing much better."

Abe:

"You don't seem to be happy about that or anything really. What's wrong EJ?"

EJ takes a deep breath.

EJ:

"Children, we'd do anything for them no problem. But could you really be able to do nothing for them? Not being able to see them, but you know that they are there?"

Abe:

"I went through life without knowing about my son Brandon."

EJ:

"I didn't know you had another son."

Abe:

"I didn't know till about a few years ago. I had an affair with Faye Walker."

EJ:

"Nicole's mom?"

Abe:

"Yes. I cared about her very much. I wish I could have been there for her and Brandon. And even Nicole. Paul Mendez was a sick evil man."

EJ:

"Nicole has told me several stories about him."

Abe:

"Even sicker was right before he died he raped a high school student named Jan Spears. So glad that he is gone. I hate that my son had to grow up around that man. He deserved a great life."

EJ:

"What if Paul was a decent guy? Would you have regretted not being in Brandon's life?"

Abe:

"That's a tricky question. I'm trying to picture Paul good. But I think I would have regretted it less."

Lexie shows up.

Lexie:

"Hey sweetie."

She kisses Abe on the forehead.

Lexie:

"What are you two up to?"

Abe:

"Just having a friendly conversation."

"You go home and you'll go right to prison."

Hope:

"But I have a little girl to take care of. I have an older son and my granddaughter. I can't imagine not seeing them anymore all because of something I did that I don't remember. There has to be some kind of explanation for all this. You're a doctor. What do you think?"

Hope:

"No I don't believe that I would want this. I'm not a bad person."

Baker:

"I know you're not."

Baker watches as Hope tries not to cry.

Baker:

"Maybe it would be a good idea for you to go home. So that you can figure this all out."

Hope:

"I really want that."
