Gatehouse Living room.



Alexis is sitting on the couch with Brooke on her lap. V is sitting next to her. Gia is sitting in one chair with her daughter and Chloe is sitting across from her. Brenda, Liz  and Emily sit on the floor. Ned and Alexis have already told Brooke about their marriage and the baby.  They are all playing Truth or Dare except for Brooke who is just listening.

“Okay, I’ve got one for you Emily.” Gia said grabbing for some more popcorn.

“Alright.” Emily said.

“Did you ever have a crush on anyone who didn’t ever give you a look other than friends?” Gia said smoothly.

“Well....” Emily started to say.

“Come on Em, spill it.” Gia said.

“Okay, okay, I surrender. I used to have a huge crush on Nikolas.” she admitted.

“You used to have a crush on my husband?!” Gia said in disbelief.

“Well, too late. He’s mine.” Gia said smiling.

“Well, that’s okay, I have my own guy.” Emily told her holding up her finger to expose her engagement ring.

Everyone laughed.

“Okay, okay, enough of Truth or Dare.” Alexis said.

“Well, then what do you suggest?” Brenda asked.

“Pie.” Alexis answered and everyone’s face lit up at the idea.

“Come on, let’s go to Kelly’s Bobbie always has pie.” she said winking at Chloe.

Everyone got up and put jackets on and got into cars and they drove to Kelly’s.

meanwhile at Jax’s penthouse all the guys are seated around a table playing poker. The guys who are there are Jax, Simon, Ned, Nikolas, Lucky, Zander, Stefan.

“You know, Stefan ever since you and Chloe started dating you have become much more lose.” Ned commented.

“I have done no such thing.” Stefan said crossing his arms.

Everyone laughed.

Kelly’s Diner. Alexis enters holding Brooke followed by Brenda, Chloe, Emily, Gia, Liz and V.

“Hey Bobbie. Have any pie?” Alexis asked calling at her ex-sister-in-law.

“Hi.” Bobbie said cheerfully, looking up from cleaning the counter. “We sure do.” She continued and disappeared into the back and came out holding a pie in each hand.

“Here you go. Bannana Cream and Apple.” She said setting them down on the counter. “Sit down.” She said gesturing to the stools. In return everyone picked a stool and sat down. Alexis sat Brooke down next to her.

Alexis picked up a fork and dug into the bannana cream pie.

“Alexis!” Bobbie exclaimed grabbing Alexis’ hand. “Did you get married?!” she asked looking at the silver wedding ring on her finger.

“Yes.” Alexis answered sheepishly. “Ned and I worked everything out.” She said happily.

“Alexis! Tell her about the you know what!” Brenda said nudgging her.

“Brenda?” Bobbie questioned squinting her eyes in Brenda’s direction.

“Yes. It’s me. Yadda yadda yadda. Helena kidnapped me okay?” Brenda said hotly.

“I should have known.” Bobbie said shaking her head at Brenda’s last comment.  “But what’s the you know what?” she asked.

“I’m pregnant.” Alexis said quickly before stuffing her mouth with pie.

“Oohh!” Bobbie said her eyes lighting up. She scurried around the counter and gave Alexis a short and sweet hug. “Congratialations!” she excaimed.

“Thanks.” Alexis said her face glowing.

“How’s Roy?” Alexis asked her.

Bobbie looked down fidgeting before looking back up to answer her question.

“Roy and I broke up.”  Bobbie told her.

“Oh, Bobbie. I’m so sorry.” She told her friend.

“It’s okay. It wasn’t’ meant to be.” She told Alexis.

“V! I didn’t see you come in. When did you get back into town?” she asked.

“ Yesterday. Simon and I finished the cruise. We’re married now. We got married on the ship and we are expecting a baby too.” V said smiling.

“So you and Alexis are pregnant at the same time? Talk about considence.” Bobbie said amazed.

All the guys are still playing cards at Jax’s penthouse.

“Okay, your turn Ashton.” Stefan said throwing cards into the middle of the table.

The phone rang at that time. While Ned carefully chose his cards Jax got up to answer the phone.

“Hello?” he said into the receiver. The others waited a few moments before they heard the excitement in Jax’s voice.

“Jerry!” he exclaimed. “Where the hell are you?…… okay….we’ll see you there.” Everyone heard Jax’s half of the conversation. Jax waited a moment before turning back to all the guys to tell them the news.

“Jerry is back in Port Charles. He’s going to meet us at Kelly’s in fifteen minutes.” Jax told them.

“uh-oh.” Ned said his eyes narrowing.

“What?” Jax questioned.

“Alexis just called me on my cell phone a few minutes ago. She and the girls are at Kelly’s---with Bobbie.” He said his voice raising.


~*~


Kelly’s Diner. All the girls, including Bobbie are sitting at the counter laughing and talking except for Bobbie who is behind the counter.

Ned and all the guys walk in the door. ( not inlucing Jerry)

“Hello Wife.” Ned said standing behind Alexis, who hadn’t noticed them walk in.

“Hi honey. What are you doing here?” she asked spinning around on her stool.

“We uh just decided to drop by.” He said smiling. “How are my girls?” he asked glowing.

“What makes you so sure that I’m going to have a girl?” she teased him.

“A gut feeling.” He said winking at her.

“Hello Mates. What have I missed?” an austrailian voice said from behind them.

“Jerry.” Bobbie said shocked dropping the fork that she was holding.

“That’s the other thing.” Ned said pointedly. “Jerry called. He’s back in town.”

“Thanks for the warning Ned.” Alexis said sarcastically watching Bobbie rush around the counter and she and Jerry embraced in a long overdue reunion.


“Jerry, why are you back? Did they let you go?” Bobbie questioned pulling away from him.

“They cut the time short. I have no idea why or how it happened.” Jerry said smiling.

“Well, I’m just glad your back.” Bobbie said again giving him another hug.

“We all are.” Jax said letting his presence be known again.

“But you sure have missed a lot.” Alexis said, putting her arm around Ned’s shoulders.

“Whoa---wait a minute little brother. Something has changed here. When I left. You were married to Alexis, Ned was married to Chloe, and your fiance was DEAD!” he said eyeing Brenda.

“It was Helena.” Everyone said in uniason.

Jerry nodded as if he understood.

“First of all, she isn’t my fiance anymore. She’s my wife and-“ Jax started to explain.

“WHAT?!” Everyone exclaimed.

“Jax!” Brenda hissed.

“Whoops.” Jax said embarassed.

“Jax and I were hoping to keep it a secret. Before we came home, we were married.” Brenda said holding up her ring finger.

“Oh.” Alexis said surprised. “Well , congratialations!” she said smiling.

Everyone else offered their congratialations, although surprised and shocked.

“Well, come on!” he said taking Bobbie’s hand and dragging her out of Kelly’s.

“Where are you taking me?” Bobbie asked laughing.

“Don’t worry! I’ll lock up!” Liz called after them.

They faintly heard a thank you from Bobbie as Jerry dragged her away.
