Jax's Penthouse:
V(and Jax enter kissing)Tell me, I'm not dreaming all this, Jax? That 
you really came to the airport and asked me to marry you. That we're 
really going to be together at last?
Jax:It's all real, V, and all you have to do is look down at your finger 
to prove it.(he kisses her again before heading to the bar and popping 
the cork on a bottle of champagne)
V(sits on the couch staring at her ring, dreamily)I love it, Jax. I'm 
never going to take it off. Did it really belong to your grandmother?
Jax:It certainly did and I'll have you know that's no store bought ring, 
either. It has quite a history to it. You see that stone?
V:It's a diamond, isn't it.
Jax:Yes, and it's just not any diamond. It's very special, just like you 
are. You see, my grandfather wanted to marry my grandmother but he was 
very poor and couldn't afford a ring. So he went to work at a local 
diamond mine and made a deal with the owner. In lieu of a year of his 
wages, he wanted to keep the first diamond he mined and have it made 
into a ring for my grandmother so he could ask her to become his wife. 
And that's the first diamond he mined.
V:Jax, that's so romantic. How long were they married?
Jax:For over fifty years and from the day my grandfather slipped that 
ring on my grandmother's finger until the day she died, she never took 
it off.
V:And neither will I. Let's hope we're together as long just as long as 
your grandparents were.
Jax(sits down on the couch next to V and offers her a glass of 
champagne. He clinks his glass against hers)To us and the long and happy 
life we're going to share together.(he notices V is drinking her 
champagne.)Come on, V, drink up. It's bad luck not to drink on a toast.
V:Jax, I can't. I guess it's time I told you something I've been keeping 
from you. Get ready for a big shock. You ready? I'm pregnant.
Jax:Excuse me?
V:You know, the rabbit died. I've got a bun in the over. You and me, 
we're going to have a baby.
Jax:(angerly)And you were going to leave town without telling me!
V:Jax, calm down.
Jax:If I hadn't come after you would you have ever told me about my 
child?
V:Probably not. Look, Jax, you were married to Brenda and I wasn't going 
to use our baby as leverage to get you to leave her for me. If you left 
Brenda it had to be because you loved and wanted me more than her. I 
didn't want to get you because I was carrying your baby and I came along 
with the package.
Jax(pulls her into his arms)I'm sorry, V, I haven't got any right to be 
mad at you. After the way I've treated you I'm lucky you'll still have 
me. A baby. We're going to have a baby. It's incredible, isn't it.
V:And a bit scary and overwhelming, too. There's going to be this little 
person we created that we're going to be responsible for for the rest of 
our lives. I'm glad I can finally share it with you.
Jax:I'm going to enjoy pampering and spoiling you and our child. But 
first things first(he kisses her on the forehead, than goes over to the 
phone)
V:Who are you calling? Your parents?
Jax:No, my lawyer. I want to attain a divorce from Brender as quicly as 
possible so we can get married and start our live together.

Cassadine Private Jet:
Bobbie(glaring at Stefan)So you could have sent for your plane at 
anytime, could you?
Stefan:Naturally, you don't think I'd strand myself on a remote island 
without being able to communicate with the outside world, do you? I'd 
especially wouldn't want to be stuck on an island for two weeks with(he 
wrinkles his nose up in distaste at Jerry)HIM.
Bobbie:But I looked everywhere for something, a telephone, a radio, 
anything that I could use to send for a boat to come and pick me up.
Stefan:You obviously didn't look in the right place.(he turns a smirking 
look on Jerry)I'm surprised to see you, here, Mr. Jacks. I thought your 
financial problems would have kept you busy at home.
Jerry(eyes him suspiciously)How do you know about my financial problems?
Stefan(gives him a knowing look before opening up his newspaper and 
reading it.)

Jax's Penthouse:
Jax(wearing a robe call to V as he goes to answer the door)I think the 
pizza we ordered has finally arrived.(when he opens the door, Brenda 
hurls herself into his arms)
Brenda:Oh, Jax, darling, please forgive me. I made the worst mistake of 
my life by leaving you. But if you take me back and forgive me I swear 
I'll never leave you again. I'm finally over Sonny and I love only you, 
now.
Jax(pushes her away from him)So, you finally know about Sonny and Lois, 
do you?
Brenda:Jax, that awful Carla Solieto set me up. She made me think Sonny 
still wanted me. That their marriage ended because of me.
V(enters wearing her nightgown)Jax, I was thinking. Why don't we take 
the pizza upstairs and eat it in bed.
Brenda:V, what are you doing here?(she turns to Jax with a confused look 
on her face)Jax, darling, what's going on?
Jax:Brender, as soon as our divorce is final, V and I are getting 
married.
Brenda(laughs)Don't be ridiculous. Jax, darling, don't you see what 
you're doing. You're just getting involved with V on the rebound because 
you can't have me. But, see, you don't have to settle for a substiture. 
You can have me. I'm back.
Jax(starts laughing)Brender, you're incredible.
Brenda(smiles at him)Jax, admit it. You'll never find anyone else quite 
like me. I'm one of a kind.
Jax(smile disappears)Thank god for that. You leave me for another man 
and when it doesn't work out you think you can just come back to me and 
pick up where we left off.
Brenda:Jax, I told you I was sorry. What happened wasn't my fault. It 
was Carla, Lois and Sonny's fault. If they'd have been honest with me, 
this would have never happened. I would have never left you. But if 
you'll just forgive me and take me back we can be so happy together. 
You're everything I've ever wanted in a man. You're the man who taught 
me what love really is. You're the only man who can make me happy. 
You're...
Jax(cuts her off)V and I are going to have a baby.
Brenda:What? That's impossible. You and V just...(then the truth sinks 
in)You haven't just, have you? You've been having an affair with V all 
along, haven't you? You betrayed me! You set me up, too! Wait a minute! 
You knew about Sonny and Lois, didn't you!(she hits him in the chest)You 
bastard! During that whole phony speech about how you'd finally faced I 
loved Sonny and was letting me go, you knew about Sonny and Lois, didn't 
you?(she hits him again, and she punctuated the end of each following 
sentence with a hit)You knew you were sending me off to make a complete 
fool of myself! And you did it, anyway! All so you could be with her! 
You bastard! How could you do this to me! I hate you!
Jax(grabs her pummeling fists in an iron grip and pushed her backwards 
towards the door)I'll send your things over to Sonny's. Don't try to 
come back here, again. You won't be welcomed.
Brenda(tries to dig her heels into the carpeting)Don't you even care 
what happens to me? I'm your wife.
Jax(continues shoving her towards the door)Not for long. To steal from 
Rhett Butler, frankly, me dear I don't give a damn. For all I care you 
can try and fight Lois for Sonny.(he finally shoves her out the door and 
slams the door in her face)
Brenda(crumbles to the floor and lets out a primal 
scream)Jaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaax!

The Brownstone:
Bobbie:Thanks for driving me home from the airport and getting me off 
that island. I hope you don't mind, but I'm really feeling kind of 
jet-lagged. So could we say goodnight, now, and talk about things in the 
morning?
Jerry:Of course. To be truthful, I'm feeling the same way, myself.(he 
starts heading upstairs)Goodnight, Red.
Bobbie:Jerry, where do you think you're going?
Jerry:Up to my apartment. Oh, I guess it slipped my mind to tell you 
with all the excitement. While you were off with Cassadine, I moved in. 
I'm living in Tom Hardy's old apartment, now. You don't mind, do you?
Bobbie:And if I do?
Jerry:I'm afraid you'll just have to get used to it. Face it, Red, you 
can't get rid of me. Tonight, I'm sharing your house, tomorrow, I'll be 
sharing your bed. Goodnight(he heads upstairs, but stops halfway up and 
looks down at her)Oh, by the way, I thought you'd like to know that I 
haven't slept in pajamas since I was a teenager. I like sleeping in the 
all-together. Pleasant dreams.

Wyndemere:
Alexis(as Stefan storms in)How did it go?
Stefan:Barbara drove home from the airport with Jerry Jacks. Does that 
answer your question. If that buffoon had not arrived when he did, I 
would have worn Barbara down. As much as she tries to fight it, she 
can't resist me. I was so sure causing the Jacks' financial problems 
would keep that pest out of my hair. If we had only had just one more 
day alone together I know Barbara would be back in my bed, tonight, 
where she belongs.
Alexis:You told me to keep an eye on Jerry Jacks while you were gone. 
There's something you should know, but you're not going to like it. 
Jerry Jacks has moved into the brownstone.
Stefan:Barbara's brownstone! That is unacceptable. I will not tolerate 
this!
Alexis:What are you going to do about it?
Stefan:It's time I started playing hardball. Enough of trying to woo 
Barbara back without manipulations or any dirty tricks. I want you to 
dig up any dirt you can on Luke Spencer and Carly Roberts. If you can't 
find any, then make it up. I know Barbara. She'll do anything to 
protected those two reprobates, which will play right into my hand. I'm 
going to get my wife back and I'm going to do it Cassadine style.
