Stop and smell the Tomato Juice

....Ginger looked at Jeff and said, "I don't deserve to live.  The baby died
because of me."  Jeff looked at her with an expression that showed
that she was wrong when Linda came into the doorway.  "No, it is me. 
I'm the one that doesn't deserve to live..."

Jeff looked up at her, "Linda what are you talking about?"  Linda crossed her
arms and said, "Bill told me I should keep my eyes on the road..."  Jeff,
trying to comfort Ginger, asked, "Bill?  Who the heck is Bill?"  Linda began
to answer but Anne came over, "Oh my word....Linda leave them be," Anne
walked away followed by Linda still looking at the ground.

Jeff began to talk to Ginger, "Ginger, what are you thinking?  It's not your
fault.  If it was anybody's fault it would be mine....Ginger, I had to
choose..."  She looked at him with a questioning stern look.  "They gave me a
choice...I had to choose whether I wanted the baby or...you."  She gave him a
caring look and waited for him to finish, "I chose you."  Jeff then got up
and grabbed his robe, "come on, let's get you dressed."    He helped her back
up to the attic and opened the closet.  "How about this outfit, I always
loved it on you.  Remember this is what you were wearing the first time
someone found out you were my girlfriend."  She looked at him and laughed
through her tears, "I wanted to die, I thought your mother was going to have
a heart attack...if I didn't first."  Jeff smiled and said, "See, you wanted
to die then and look at us now...we're going to be ok Ginger."  He leaned in
to kiss her when Anne yelled up the stairs, "Jeff can you please answer the
door?  I am busy trying to clean up after someone who needs to learn how to
cook!"  Jeff pulled away and gave a small smile and headed down the stairs,
he looked back at her before he got to the door. 

Jeff opened the front door..."Where is she?"  Jeff, suprised said, "Mr
Melon?"  He wasn't listening "Where is Miss Szabo?"  Jeff looking irritated,
"You mean Mrs. Metcalf..."  Mr Melon walked in without being invited, "Oh
whatever, you know I can't keep up with all that woman's personal affairs,
where is she?"  Jeff, still looking irritated said, "She is upstairs, what do
you want?"  Mr Melon started to walk through the house to find the stairs,
when he did he started walking up.  Jeff said insistently "I'd thank you to
not go up there, Ginger doesn't need you bothering her."  Mr Melon still not
listening said, "She hasn't been to work in weeks.  Now, I almost fired her
for getting pregnant, and now she decides that she is too good to work?  The
Fine Family Foods Hour can't go on without her and our ratings are dropping
because we hired that washed up baseball player Arthur to do a sports show." 
Jeff grabbed Mr Melons arm before he got very far up the stairs, "Yes," he
said with his teeth grinding at Mr Melon, "Shame about that freak accident. 
Arthur should have been watching at where the batters threw their bats and I
told you she doesn't need any visitors."  Mr Melon paused and looked at Jeff,
"Fine, you tell Miss Szabo-" Jeff interupted "Metcalf,"
Mr Melon continued, "Whatever, tell Miss," he pauses and says slowly
"Metcalf," that if she doesn't come back to the show soon, she is going to be
back at the switchboard!"  While walking Mr Melon to the door Jeff says, "I
will mention it to her."  Jeff looks at him smiles and says sarcastically,
"By the way, have a nice day Mr Melon!" and closes the door behind him.

Jeff walks through the kitchen and Anne asks, "Who was that?" He answers, "Oh
nobody important."  Jeff goes to the cupboard and shuffles through some
things, "What are you looking for?" asked Anne.  Jeff not really paying
attension keeps looking, pulls out something puts it in his pocket and heads
back upstairs.

Ginger was just staring into the mirror when she saw Jeff's reflection coming
up behind her.  He grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him.  "I have a
suprise," he whispered in her ear and kissed her neck.  She turned around and
looked at him curiosly and he pulled a can out of his pocket, "I have been
saving this for a special time..."  Ginger looked at it, "My Lemo can?"  She
looked a little confused and he said, "Ginger, when you were up on that stage
singing the jingle, I was so proud of you, and when you were singing that
song, when you were supposed to be at that party with me...I was still proud,
but I threw all of these away because I thought that you couldn't possibly
still love me.  I couldn't bring myself to get rid of all of them so I hid
one in the back of the cupboard.  I guess, I just couldn't let you go..." She
looked down at the can, "Thank you."  She looked back up, put her hand on his
face and kissed him. 

Jeff looked at her, "Come on, let's go get something to eat."  Ginger looked
at him and smiled, "are you always<italic<< hungry?" Jeff took Gingers hand
and headed for the stairs...
