Salem, Massachusetts

March 16, 2023

You slept peacefully through the night as Lee held you in his warm and safe arms. Not a single dream invaded your mind, at least that you could remember due to the sedatives you reluctantly let Britt talk you into taking. Lee though, could only manage to sleep in short intervals. For one thing, he barely had any room width wise, even as he laid on his side upon the hospital bed that was just big enough for you and secondly, his mind wouldn't shut off. He had asked your mother's permission for your hand in marriage and Margaret was more than thrilled to give her blessing, but not without warning of hurting her little girl like Gerry had done. Lee knew he would be not only be marrying you, but marrying into your family and with that, he would gain a mother-in-law, so he offered her his own solemn vow that he was forever yours faithfully and that he would sacrifice his own heart, his own life if needed to keep yours safe. Margaret told him she already knew that just by the way he looked at you and that although his actions of trying to beat a train to save you were utterly insane and quite stupid, it had only proved his promising words even more.

As Lee watched you sleep in the dark, feeling your heartbeat against his own, he began to feel incredibly guilty for his life imploding on you like it had, most of it stemming from his secret about Ethan and it only made him more determined to keep furtive, one other skeleton in his past where it belonged, dead and buried. You were his present, future and forever.

Lee's guilt of his remaining secret taunted him though, possibly triggered more so from the incident with Mr. Carpenter. He swore to you that he had no more secrets or lies, yet that in itself was a lie. It had to be that way for it was of no comparison whatsoever to the marriage situation with Ethan and look what that alone did to you. The way he now saw it, the idiom let sleeping dogs lie was quite relevant and the best choice for all and he prayed nothing or no one would disturb the devilish dog that lied dormant inside of him all these years. But Mr. Carpenter provoked Lee by poking him with a stick, baiting him to bite. A bark was all the foolish man luckily received in Lee's sucker punch, for it was a mere bee sting in contrast to the good doc's bite. That part of him was something you had never witnessed and if he had his way, you never would. Lee's pre-physician days were a harbored secret. One that know one knew, nor was permitted to, except for Luke.

The image and life Lee maintained, he worked and fought hard for to achieve some kind of normalcy. All everyone saw was merely an accredited doctor and just a simple kind of man with a heart of gold who had been through the ringer of raw deals. So many times though, he could have brought the beast out of hibernation and handled all the threats such as Ethan and Liz, but it would have been like a vampire tasting blood, a relapse per se. Would he have been able to stop and then simply resume his new life that now included you? Possibly, but he wasn't willing to take the chance of losing the one thing he had always dreamed of. He had already taken that risk once with his secret about Ethan and came damn close to losing you, but... what he still concealed was not only confidential, it was something he felt would appall you and make you look at him differently, like the way you looked at Ethan with such disgust and he couldn't handle that. It would destroy all that was still human inside of him and bring forth the demon that clawed at him from the inside to surface when Jacob died. Even you caught a glimpse of that monster, accidentally getting hurt in the process which scared Lee straight...and even then, after all that when you should have ran as far away from him as you could...you forgave him and saved him from the downward spiral that led straight to the fiery pits of hell.

The 8 a.m. sunlight shone in brightly and warmly upon your face, coaxing your eyes to flutter open and see a most beautiful vision of your hero in a deep sleep, one he finally found only a few hours prior to your awakening. An uncontrollable smile fell over your lips as you studied the magnificent features of his perfectly sculpted face, reminding you of the sculpture Lee did of you with simply an image from his memory, the carefully perfected masterpiece of art that you had destroyed over a justified assumption. How could any man be this beautiful, you wondered to yourself as your eyes danced about the true perfected masterpiece of art. It wasn't just physical though. Sure, any woman, even men, found the dashing doc irresistibly irresistible.. and of course, so did you, but it was so much more than the pleasures of the flesh for you. Lee was magic. And by magic, you meant he was a natural healer of your soul. Your anxiety was helpless against his loving and safe arms. The very first time your eyes connected with his radiant sapphires, you felt peace. And that particular peace, one you had never experienced before, you craved, so much so that you had relentlessly sought him out like some school girl with a mad crush. Lee was an addiction and without him, the withdrawals would surely kill you because in the matter of only a week's time apart due to your decision, you felt like you were dying slowly. How could you have ever thought you could live without him? Lee was your drug and the antidote all rolled in to one.

During your detailed eye travels you saw a light jagged scar that you had never noticed before on the side of his neck that appeared old. You knew every crevice of this man but this was the first time you caught sight of it. As his soft warm breaths graced your lips, your curious fingers lightly traced over it, in which your touch startled him awake.

"Jo!" Lee gasped and sat halfway up as his eyes darted all around.

"Heyyy, heyyyy baby. Where's the fire? It's ok. I'm right here."

As you stroked his cheek, he sighed in relief, covered his eyes and plopped his head back on the pillow.

"What time is it?" he groggily groaned as he peeked through his fingers at the blinding ball of fire in the sky.

You hopped right out of bed and closed the blinds, then trotted back and sat beside Lee, feeling as if nothing had even happened to you yesterday.

"It's just after 8 and I am ready to go, like five minutes ago. Can you go see if Landy or Britt is still here? Or Amy or that Angel girl, someone, anyone? I am seriously not laying in this bed all day when I feel completely fine. And I'm not eating their breakfast either. I had their eggs the last time I was here, No flavor and melted like cotton candy in my mouth, gross. I want to go have the pancakes and sausage that we didn't get to eat...well, freshly made ones and then I just want to lay in bed with you, because I can tell you did not sleep for shit...did you?"

"No, no I didn't. Thanks to my beautiful girl scaring me half to death. I would love to take you home. I have some plans for us."

Lee's grin was telling that he was up to something sneaky.

"Ooooh. Well get going then. I want to be away from here and alone with you so bad."

"Alright, I will go....when you get back in that bed and stay there." he said with a serious and extremely exhausted face as he gazed in your eyes.

"Fine!" you huffed with a pouty frown and climbed back onto the mattress that felt like a gym pad.

"Stay...put. I love you." he whispered, then kissed your lips, covered you up and left.

You got your phone out to surprisingly see a text from an unknown number. Your first thought was Ethan. Although you had blocked him, he probably had a dozen burner phones. Changing your number like Lee did would have been best but now that Jason was alive, you needed to keep it in case he tried to reach you....and speak of the devil, you thought as you read the unforeseen coded message.

"TB...soon. Love, S."

TB...code for train bridge, yours and Jason's special place. S...code for Steve, an inside joke of how Spinelli called him stone cold in reference to Jason's personality and you thought it meant the wrestler, stone cold Steve Austin because of his build and ability of pretty much being invisible. You laughed for a moment as tears of pain came to your eyes. Even after what he had done, you knew you couldn't stay mad at him and you missed him terribly.

You and your brother used codes if they were needed and so you replied with one you knew he would decipher.

"It's a quarter after one and I need you now."

You and Jason only went to the train bridge after dusk to meet, that was the rule and by telling him 'now', you knew he would know it meant tonight. Any mentions of time were to be minus one hour and fifteen minutes. Midnight was the plan. What wasn't the plan was to bring anyone, another rule, but you would not go without Lee and Jason would just have to suck it up.

Your door suddenly opened and in walked someone else unforeseen. Luke. He had been watching and waiting for Lee to leave.

He was in a way you had never seen him...nervous.

"Um...hey...Josie." he quietly said with a half smile as he remained by the door, seemingly awaiting your reaction to his presence to know if he should approach you or not..

"Luke? W..what..are you doing here?"

Your expression was surprised but your tone was calm, so he slowly took a few steps closer to your bed.

"I..um...I was worried about you, you know, after that day at your mum's when you got that nose bleed and panic attack and then I heard you were in the hospital."

"So uh, how did you know I was here? Oh wait, let me guess. You know everything right?" you retorted with sarcasm over the fact that he arrogantly told you that once.

Luke's head dropped as he shamefully smiled. "Yeah, well. Not this time. Landy told me."

"Oh...so um. You guys are good now?"

His eyebrows did a shrug. "Well, not exactly. I brought him some real food last night since his diet is shit and the hospital's food is shit and besides my presence, I could tell something else was bothering him. That's when I was able to drag it out of him about what happened to you, but not without reminding me once again that you were none of my business."

"I can see his point. Anyways, I'm glad to see you meant what you said about looking out for him. You uh, could have just texted me." you replied, slightly rude, still annoyed with him.

"I could have, yes..but I...I wanted to see you and apologize again for upsetting you at your mum's and...I also wanted to bring you these."

Luke's hand came out from behind his back, holding a small bunch of what looked like petunias with the stems being held together by a purple ribbon tied in a perfect bow.

"I know it's not much and sort of a cliche get well gesture or an apology when you fuck up. May I...come closer?"

You nodded as he gazed remorsefully at you and then handed you the floral arrangement of rainbow colors.

"Thank you...Luke. I...would say it's the thought that counts and well...even more so that you picked these yourself I see. Which little old lady is going to hunt you down with a cane?" you jested as you softened towards him.

Luke's smile went from ear to ear as he softly chuckled. "I took them out of my mum's pot. I figured it was the least I could do after the way she treated you." he said as his grin grew even wider which made you giggle.

'Well, that's even worse. I'm sure she'll come after you with a loaded mouth full of snarky insults. Seems to be her go to."

Luke chuckled loudly. "You've known my mother a mere five minutes and yet you know her so very well."

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression, which I'm sure that's how she feels about me too."

Luke's eyes fell and so did his smile. "And...I'm sure that's how you feel about me as well. I um, suppose I better get going before Lee comes back. I'm sure I'm the last person that he wants to see and also less than pleased about what happened with Landy and I really need to go to bed. The waiting room couch is stuffed with bricks. Didn't sleep much."

"Thought you said you could go days without sleep and...wait...you...you been here since last night?"

"Well actually, I have been up for days already and yeah, I stayed here after bringing Lando's food. Wanted to get an opportunity to come check on you."

"I see...well...as far as first impressions Luke...you made a good one when I met you here after Landy's surgery...I also think a book shouldn't be judged by it's cover...well not always anyways. Although you're definitely a mystery novel, I'd like to know the entire story someday....and I am glad you were there at my mom's when I had that attack, especially with Megan being there. I know you couldn't tell me about Lee and I am sorry I jumped all over you about it. It's just that Megan really threw me when she purposely blurted out what she knew and you were kind of in the line of fire."

'Yeah well, you were still rightfully angry with me about how I spoke to you at Orlando's, so you do not need to apologize at all. I was out of line and again....I am very sorry."

"I can see you're trying to make things up to Landy...and to me. I accept your apology and what do you say we start over huh? And hopefully Orlando will come around too and forgive you. He has a beautiful heart so I believe he will in time."

"That sounds really good Josie...but...what about Lee?"

"What about me??" Lee snapped as he walked in with a scowl, followed by an aggravated Orlando to see his brother there.

"I leave you alone for a few minutes and the wolves descend. This whole damn place seems to be crawling with them." Lee rudely continued, but you understood his animosity.

"Lee man...I just wanted to see how she was doing." Luke replied as he stood up and moved away from you.

"Right...and bring my girlfriend flowers too I see? Why not just text me to find out about how she was...or better yet, what business is she of yours anyways?"

"That's what I told him. Sorry Lee, I never should have told him she was here." Orlando cut in, giving Luke a look of disapproval.

"Lee, I'm not your enemy man. I meant no harm here." Luke explained, but his words meant nothing to Lee.

"That is yet to be determined. Let's go. In my office. Now."

"Lee???" you questioned with wide eyes as you sat straight up.

"It's ok baby. I'll be right back. Luke and I have some overdue shit to hash out."

Luke offered you a regretful glance and followed Lee out.

"Oh god!" you whimpered and threw your hands over your face in worry.

"Hey, it's alright Josie. They're big boys who just have some issues to resolve." Orlando said as he smiled and sat on the edge of your bed by your feet, giving them a soft rub of assurance.

"That's what I'm worried about Landy. Lee's frustrations have been building over what Luke did to you and over everything else. And he didn't sleep well. Did you not see the look on Lee's face?? It was the same way he looked at Mr. Carpenter when he attacked him, which is not like him at all."

"I know...but the difference is, he and Luke are friends."

"Does that really matter?? You and Lee are best freaking friends and that didn't stop him from slugging you that one day."

"Josie, that one day, Lee was high and drunk out of his mind, not that that's any excuse but what I'm saying is, he wouldn't have done that sober."

"I'm not so sure about that Landy, Lee's been on edge lately and let's not forget Luke's crazy side either."

"How could I not? Although it seems you may have."

"What? Noooo?? I haven't forgotten Orlando, but I can forgive and I hope you will too someday. Luke really is sorry for what happened and he's trying to make it up to you which I can in no way say for Ethan. Luke adores you. Ethan only adores himself and Lee, well I should say he's obsessed with him actually."

"Yeah well, Luke has a funny way of showing he cares. I can't blame Lee for being upset. It's quite obvious, flowers and all, that Luke is into you and Lee knows it. He heard all that Luke said before we came in and don't forget what I told you about Luke, how he goes after what he wants and all be damned that gets in his way. Lee knows this about him and he even knows Luke better than I do. They spent a lot of time together back in the day. The first few summer breaks of med school, Lee and him disappeared entirely. Went to Hong Kong and who knows where else. Made me wonder sometimes who Lee's best friend really was."

"Oh...I...I didn't even know that, I mean the part about leaving the country anyways. Why didn't you go?"

"Two reasons. I wasn't asked and I just had a lot of shit I was dealing with. I couldn't have just dropped everything and went even if I wanted to go."

"I'm sorry Landy. Did Lee explain why he didn't invite you?"

"Pretty much for the second reason I just said. But...he still could have asked. I don't think Luke wanted me there honestly. I mean, you know what Luke does professionally."

"Yeah I do but....then why would he want Lee there?? Unless it was just some innocent vacation for freinds?"

"That's what I mean. Who knows? All I know is Lee definitely became different after hanging around Luke so much, that's for sure."

"Different? how?"

"I don't know, just more closed off, secretive maybe? Luke eventually vanished for the last few years of med school and Lee then started hanging around Ethan, partying a lot with him and Gordon and met Liz, then Ethan disappeared and Lee tried to straighten his party life up. Liz got pregnant, so Lee then changed is entire way of life, became a family man and a doctor all...and then five years later...Jacob died and you know the rest."

"Wow, well I knew most of that except for him taking off with Luke. I'm sure it was just all for a fun travel experience for Lee. As far as him being different like you said, I don't know, maybe he was just going through some stuff like we all do and didn't want to talk about it?"

"Yeah maybe. That's what I thought too. Anyways...I hear your anxious to be sprung from this joint. I'll have one of the nurses come in and do one last lab to make sure all is alright, then if so, I see no reason I can't get you out of here. You feeling ok? You look much better."

"I feel great, physically anyways." you said with a sigh. "How about you? How are you doing with everything?"

"For the most part, alright I suppose. It's good to be back and be productive, keep my mind busy and focused, although I really want to get out of here for awhile, go back home."

"Home? You mean Canterbury? I...I thought you hated it there?"

"I did...and now I hate it here, which I am sure you can see why. My Nan's there and she hasn't been feeling well lately."

"Your nan huh? Your mom's mother?"

"Actually, my father's mum. She's nothing like him. They don't speak. She knows what he is. She's always been good to me and I adore and miss her. We talk on the phone some and she writes me letters."

"Aww, that's so sweet. I'm glad you have her...and now I have learned something new about you. Wish I could meet her. What's her name, if I may ask?"

"You may. Her name is Blanchard, but she goes by Blanch."

"Blanchard, such is as in one of the four first names you have?" you said as you giggled.

"Yep, you got it. Don't ask about the other three. That's for another time." he laughed. "Well, I have to finish some paperwork. I won't harp at you over trying to remain stress free because I know how impossible that is for you with all that's going on, but I will ask that you follow up with your family doctor and at least try to eat better, that being advised from someone who doesn't follow their own advice and who eats loaded sodium and preservative filled tv dinners on a daily basis." Orlando chuckled with his adorable curled lip smile.

"I know right??" you giggled. "I'll try. I promise. Hey, how about a hug. I haven't see you since what happened."

Orlando smiled and scooted up next to you, pulling you into an embrace that he didn't want to end.

"You know....you scared me something awful. More than you know. Seeing Lee carrying you in here like that. Kind of knocked the wind out of me. Don't let it happen again, you hear me?" Orlando whispered against your hair.

"Yes doc, loud and clear. I'm sorry Landy for what I put you all through."

Orlando released you and stroked your cheek with one fingertip as his chocolate eyes smiled into yours, then he stood up, winked and headed out. "Gotta run. I'll see you in a bit."

"You better!" you called out after him with a chuckle.

Now you were alone and fretting again about Lee and Luke in the present moment and wondering more about what Landy told you of their past time off the grid per se. It couldn't be anything bad or secretive because Lee swore to you he had told you everything and you believed him. He wouldn't risk his relationship with you again. He just wouldn't. Not after everything.

While you and Orlando had conversed, Lee unlocked his office door and quietly walked around, looking at all of his accomplishments hanging on the wall, feeling a bit nostalgic of his life there and how much it had changed after meeting you. It was hard for him to comprehend how worried he had been about losing his job and yet he felt no excitement now upon returning. He thought maybe it was because of Liz and Cyrus being there now, even Angel because he didn't know if he could trust her anymore and then there was the fact of being blamed for that young girl's death. Did he want to risk all that again, operating on people's brains? After the dark life he once lived, he had seen enough blood and brains and yet he chose a career path that was consumed with it. Why? All he wanted to do was help people and be a good man for himself, for his mom, dad and son when they were here...and now he wanted to do it for you, but was this the only way to achieve it?

The door closed, bringing Lee out of his thoughts and right back to Luke, who stood in silence, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

"I remember the day I found out about what Luke Sr. had been doing to Landy." Lee calmly spoke, but with an intimidating tone as he continued to walk about his office with his hands in his pockets, looking at all of his belongings and not Luke. "He was so broken and vulnerable as he confided in me, a way I had never seen him before because he was always the tough one, defending me from piece of shit bullies all through high school. Bullies that did things to me like Ethan did to him...like YOU just did to him. The brother that claims to care about him and is supposed to protect him and...."

"Lee, you don't understand and maybe now's not the best time to talk about this. You're going through a lot right n..."

"Let...me...finish..." Lee ordered as he clenched his jaw and glared at Luke, who then gave a single nod of submission as his eyes lowered.

"What was it you did to Ethan for hurting Landy? I'm willing to bet it was a good ass beating, am I right, because believe me, it took everything in me not do it myself. But then YOU went and hurt Orlando too, damn near killed him actually from what my terrified girlfriend told me. And why?? Because he was telling her about how you really are? Looks like he didn't even need to tell her because you showed her yourself and yet here you are, lurking about once again, preying on her forgiving heart. Yes I know you followed her to her mom's, and I know about the car and the bar thugs and now she can't even drive it anywhere without the fear of these assholes coming after her...all because of you...all because you brought her into a situation she shouldn't have been put in, that she had nothing to do with. But you...you don't care about that. Luke only cares about what he wants and I'm far from fucking blind...nor deaf to now that you want Jo. You see, I was lurking too and I heard all that you said to her before I came in. What exactly is it that you think is going to happen? That she's going to fall madly in love with you and leave me?? Because I can promise you that will never happen, for if you haven't noticed, she's madly in love with ME. Or...maybe you're just looking for a good fuck? Is that it? To hell with me and the boundaries of friendship and relationships, you know, because I thought you were my friend. Hell, even Landy knows where to draw a line because yeah, I know how he feels about her, too but he has something you don't. Respect. There's a thin line between love and hate as you know and you're about to cross it and I would advise you to choose your steps carefully."

"Then don't draw one." Luke flatly stated. "You're jumping to conclusions which is something you of all people know not to do. You haven't even let me explain. You know, when Megan exposed your secret with Ethan, Josie asked me if I knew....and you know what I told her? I told her that it wasn't any of my business and that she would have to ask you. I did that out of respect for you that you just told me I didn't have."

"You did it for her! To impress her, to draw her in to your lair. I know how you are with women. I've seen it first hand. You don't care if they're committed to someone or even if they're not because if you want it, you go after it like the entitled egotistical womanizer that you are. Love em and leave em Luke. Such a moniker like that didn't appear out of thin fucking air. Hell, you leave everybody so why don't you just leave now? Oh that's right, you have a new conquest. My girlfriend. Over my dead fucking body will that ever happen. Orlando don't want you here anymore and quite fucking frankly, neither do I. You're a bad memory, dredging up things and feelings I desperately want to forget and I was doing pretty damn good until your twisted family showed up. I never expected you to come back when you left the last time because you swore you never would. You claimed that the normal life wasn't for you and you wished me well...all because you just had to have that addicting rush of danger to work through your emotions, yet here you are claiming you're going to leave all that behind like I did, wanting to be here for Landy, a little too late after the fact I might add."

"Seems to me you liked that danger too so don't stand here and judge me in all of your so called reformation."

"Oh I did like it, no thanks to you but enough was enough. That shit's too heavy and I wanted to make something of my life. I wanted to actually HAVE a life after years of seeing death. Of course, I didn't exactly pick the best career path to avoid that but it's a hell of a lot different, because with this one, innocent people's brains aren't being blown out as they sit right beside me, which was ALL your fault. That was the last straw. Tell me, what was yours, to make you want to get out? It certainly wasn't that so...was it almost killing your little brother or was it something else??? Maybe those things don't get to you, but they do me. In all fucking honesty, I was really no better than Ethan or his way of life and neither were you....and you still aren't."

"Really man? Don't compare Ethan to either of us. It's a sport to him. He enjoys the pain and death of anyone, good or bad, just like the old man does and neither feel remorse. Enjoying danger and taking out the evil seeds, like the two of them are, is a hell of a lot different in my eyes. You don't even know the extent of what my father has done."

"Do I need to?? I know enough, such as worming his way back here and he now owns Josie's brother's boat and we all know his plans for that. I've had enough of this blast from the past, hell of a pun eh? This ends here. Stay the hell away from Jo."

Luke's lips slightly pursed as he took a step forward. "Or what?"

Lee's brow arched as he grinded his teeth, then he opened his desk drawer and rooted through it, finally pulling out a sharpie. He walked over to Luke, took the cap off and stared down the five inch difference between them into Luke's guarded eyes, then bent over and drew a line on the tile, separating their feet.

"There's the thin line. Cross it and find out." Lee snarled as he snapped the cap back on.

Luke flat out chortled. "What...you're going to kick my ass now if I go near her? Your years out of practice Lee. Sit down son. I think I'll go see her now and tell her about the real doctor Pace because I know she doesn't know that you are no different than me. Well, except that I don't keep secrets from her."

That was definitely the wrong thing to say as Lee crossed that line himself with a crystal vase full of dead flowers and smashed it over Luke's head as he had turned to leave, knocking him to the ground, but not unconscious.

"You're the one who's going to take a seat. THAT was for Landy." Lee retorted as his nose flared.

When Luke caught his breath and regained focus, he slowly pushed himself up with a death glare in his now darkened hazel eyes.

"Now I'm your enemy." he growled and took out his switchblade.

Lee laughed. "You were always the enemy wearing a friendly mask. Don't you know you should ALWAYS jump to conclusions so you're not blindsided like you just were? I thought you didn't need a weapon Lukey? Are you a bit worried that I'm not so out of practice after all? Never assume the person of peace is unskilled at war. I've taken you down before and I'll do it again. You think I can't handle a knife with my bare hands?"

Lee stood with his hands out, palms up as he wiggled his fingers back towards himself, baiting Luke to come at him.

Luke leered at Lee for a moment, his jaw clenched, causing the veins in his neck to protrude and then, the blade snapped shut as his face relaxed. Luke then placed it back in his pocket and lowered his hands to his side.

"Nope. I won't do this with you. I could easily handle you but you're not worth messing up that pretty little face of yours and then having to answer to Josie about it. You'll fuck up soon enough. That's one thing you're good at handling all on your own and you'll have to answer to Josie yourself...yet once again. You always bury yourself and when you do...I'll be there."

Luke calmly left, this time not taking his eyes off of Lee as he walked out the door.

Lee bee lined for a cabinet in his office, one that still held a bottle of whiskey inside. He poured a small glass and then just stared at it as a heavy sigh powered out of his nose. NO, he told himself and put the bottle and the glass both back in the cabinet, for if he had tasted it, he would have went after Luke. Instead, Lee anxiously went straight to the waiting room to get you a healthy snack out of the vending machine and him some mints to try and calm his nerves, for his trembling hands fumbled to even put the coins in the slot.

He couldn't believe what he just did and he was disgusted with himself, but only because of his actions. It was like a moment of temporary insanity, much like the scene with Mr. Carpenter and he knew he had to get himself under control, for you were going to notice and you were also going to want to know what happened with Luke and where he went.

As he walked through the lobby to get to the elevator, he froze solid to see Ethan and Liz on the far side in what appeared to be a heated conversation. Lee quickly concealed himself behind a large pillar and peeked around it to watch. Their voices were audible but not their words. Angel then approached them and stood by Liz and Lee could make out her words of warning Ethan to leave Liz alone. She and Liz then got on the elevator and Ethan stormed off down the hall.

Lee was now fearful for you of his presence and secretly followed him to make sure he didn't go near you or Landy, which thankfully, you both were on the next floor.

To add more shock and grief to the day, Lee then witnessed Luke sr. come out of the men's restroom and he and Ethan then walked to the main lobby, stopping to speak, which again he couldn't hear what was being said, as this time, he viewed them through the leaves of a giant fake plant that hid him well from a good distance.

"So did she crack?" Luke quietly asked his son as he cautiously looked around.

"Well if you mean avoiding eye contact, beating around the bush and telling me I'm insane and grasping at straws, then I'd say she's guilty."

Luke shook his head. "We both know that kid is yours."

"A simple dna test will show that. I'm not worried."

"You're a Bloom. DNA testing is not needed. Now act like one and...handle...her. No grandkid of mine will be raised by that child murdering succubus and it certainly won't be raised by Parker. After what he's doing to you, he'll get his just deserves in the long run as well and there's only one way to put him in his place. There's a train wreck coming to Salem and many people are going to be in it's path. Now go do what you should have let Zacchara do a long time ago. My patience is wearing thin."

"Well, on a good note, it will be a lot easier now. Cyrus fired her today, so she won't be hanging around here all the time."

"That's about the only thing he's good for, the mutual dislike of Elizabeth and not wanting her raising that kid....not to mention handling Morgan. Let me know when it's done. Now go. And don't fuck this up."

"You can count on me pops. See ya later. Chooo Chooo!" Ethan raved and left, leaving Luke shaking his head.

Lee watched them both leave in different directions and then he hurried back to you, all the while wondering what the hell was going on. It certainly couldn't be anything good where the two of them were involved.

"Britt, can I go now?? Orlando was supposed to come back to let me know but hasn't."

"That's why I'm here. He's super swamped and said he would text you later. Good news, your labs are right on the normal marker. Also, I brought you some clothes. I didn't think you wanted to put your bloody sweater back on."

"Oh thank you!! So can you take this I.V. line out then? My arm is so freaking sore and I swear it's poking my bone, ugh!"

"Yep, sit up. Where's Lee? I was pretty sure wild horses couldn't drag him away from you."

"Off somewhere with Luke, hopefully not killing each other."

"Ohhh, the hot Bloom brother is here? I haven't seen him in years. Is he still single?"

"Britt....just no. You already know how complicated your life was with Jason. Luke's no better as far as being the committed type."

"Who said anything about commitment?? A good roll in the sack was more where my mind was going. I'm so deprived and going through batteries like you wouldn't believe." she chortled. "And lonely."

"Oh my god, TMI. Changing subject now. So...have you heard from Dave? Can't believe he hasn't come to see me or even text. Guess he's still mad at me."

"I haven't heard from him either. Never replies to my texts. He took a few weeks vacation, pretty much after he saw you here the other day. Maybe he don't know you're here because you and I both know he would walk over fiery coals in bare feet to get to you. I left him a voicemail, but apparently, he's not listening to them. So why is he mad at you?" she asked as she worked at removing your needle.

"Well, obviously you don't know or it would have been the first thing you told me. Dave told me he went on a date with.....brace yourself....Elizabitch."

Britt's expression spelled an array of synonyms for disbelief.

"Did I just hear you correctly? There's no way you just told my my brother did the stupidest fucking thing imaginable?? No wonder he's avoiding me!"

"Well, he wasn't exactly happy with me either. I kind of freaked out on him and I shouldn't have done that. I just can't stand the thought of that witch getting her poisonous claws into him."

"Yeah well, get this. I was just getting ready to tell you when you got me all frazzled about my idiot brother. Nurse Loser got fired today."

"What??? You're shitting me??"

"Nope. Ding dong the witch is gone...although I would prefer dead like the song actually says."

"Wow, like what happened? Lee will be so ecstatic that he don't have to work with her now."

"Honestly? I have no idea. It was Cyrus's doing, although he made me do it while he stood beside me gloating. He claimed that she was always late but so are a lot of the staff. I just don't think he likes her and I mean, who does?? Of course, I was more than happy to oblige in being the one to toss her out on her ass."

"Now I know why...." you said as your brow arched, thinking of Craig. "You and I never got to talk about Cyrus yet after his shocking new take over here at the hospital which....I could tell you knew who he was, but I didn't know him until recently when I met him at my apartment complex, although his name rang a bell. Britt.... Liz's ex, Craig, the one that you threw in her face at Lee's dad's funeral that you had no face for?.... He's my landlord and Jason's best friend that I had never met."

"Whoa, he's your freaking landlord?? How did ALL that happen? And what does that have to do with Cyrus?? Why was he at your...."

Britt finally got a clue before she could finish her own question.

"Oh hell no, wait a minute. Her Craig is...Cyrus's son Craig... and Jason's Craig? Of course.. that's what you just said isn't it??" she rambled as he she began to pace about with gaping eyes. "Son of a BITCH, I should have realized that somehow considering Jason knew Liz. Jesus, of all the Craig's in this world, it just so happens to be the same one. How fucking random is that? How did you find all this out?"

You had to be careful with what you told her so you didn't give Jason's existence away or let it slip about Jacob being Jason's son either. God, you just wanted to tell her everything right then and there. Maybe you should....she deserved to know....but could she keep it on the down low? That was the problem. You decided to talk it over with Lee when you told him about going to meet Jason tonight.

"Craig told me after I met Cyrus there. He was upset after seeing his dad, guess they don't get along and he decided to confide in me and then it all just came together."

Well, it was sort of the truth wasn't it? You hated keeping things from her like Craig did to you about it all...but...weren't you doing it for the same reasons Craig did it? He told you only what you needed to know to protect you as you were doing for Britt. Now you understood Craig and began to feel a bit horrible for how you treated him.

"Jesus, he...he has a kid with her." Britt added.

"Which is exactly why Cyrus fired her. She's keeping Blaise from Craig. Now do you see?"

"I guarantee you he's not done with her. Cyrus likes toying with people. I won't be surprised if she ends up where the goblins go, below below below so Craig can have his little girl. And I bet I'm next....to be fired that is. He's not exactly a fan of anyone who was team stone cold."

Just another reason Jason's resurrection had to remain a secret. If Cyrus knew he was alive, he could easily use Britt...or anyone Jason loved to draw him out.

"Nah...he would have done it by now, most likely immediately. Honestly, I think he knows you're just too damn good to lose. There's many qualified here to do it but I'm sure no one else here wants your demanding and challenging position with Cyrus as their boss, not even Lee. Speaking of, where the hell is he??"

"Here's your release papers. Just sign the last page and keep the copy with your follow up instructions, then you're good to go. I would stay until Lee gets back, but as you said...demanding job. Gotta run. I love you and I'll see you later. Text me in the meantime so I know how you are doing ok? Oh...and Gerry...I ran into him by Vic's room earlier. He wanted to come see you but said he didn't think he should...I'm guessing because of Lee...so I just thought I'd let you know that he's worried about you."

"Oh...yeah, ok. Thank you. I'll text him later."

Britt gave you a hug and then left. By the time Lee got back to your room, you were already dressed in your new blood free outfit, all ready to go. You told him all your labs were normal, as they should have been after you forcefully ate all that iron filled tasteless food that even salt and pepper couldn't help. You were extremely delighted though to dig into the bag of roasted almonds Lee brought you as he sat down, popping some mints while you finished dressing.

"Ok. What happened?" you asked him in all his silence. "I can see it all over your face. You're upset."

"How about we save all that for when we get home? I promise, I'll tell you everything then. I just want to get out of here and take care of you."

"Alright. I understand. I have something to tell you too that may brighten your day. Come on. Beam me out of here babe."

You and Lee got in the car, but it didn't go unnoticed by you that on the way there, he had been looking over his shoulder quite often as he kept you right under his wing.

He buckled you in and then himself and off he drove, hitting the shuffle on the radio.

"Lee...are you sure you're alright baby?"

"Yeah my girl. I will be as long as I have you."

He gazed at you for a moment and then laid his hand upon yours. You returned the gaze with a soft smile and watched him for a moment as he brought his focus back to the road.

Something was there again, in his dimly lit eyes and somber expression. Something had happened. Something was still hurting him deeply and it in turn hurt you that you couldn't make it all better.

A song finally came on and Lee sighed as he stared straight ahead, seemingly lost in the lyrics and thought. You couldn't read his mind, so instead, you decided to listen to the lyrics too, to maybe get an idea of what was going on inside of his brilliant and beautiful mind, for you could always tell when a song resonated with him. To put it simply, the tune was about regret and guilt.

Was he blaming himself about what happened to you? Was it about Ethan still? your mind wondered as your eyes continued to study him, but your heart told you it was something entirely different. He had seemed to be like this even before Luke showed up. All you could do was wait until you both got home and just love him. Show him that he was safe with you. Forever.....

[sugarsnappeases]

okay guys hear me out bc i woke up like half an hour ago but it was with a song in my heart and a vision in my mind so: sweeney todd au.

barty is sweeney, demon barber of fleet street, he never forgives and he never forgets etc etc, just got back to london after being shipped off the australia on jumped-up charges and he’s out for revenge on the judge, who’s obviously his father….. haven’t figured out how the whole johanna thing is gonna work yet but lucy (his wife) is obvs either evan or reg hmmm will have to ponder this further but. and this is where the major hear me out comes in. sybill as mrs. lovett. as in sybill trelawney, as in ‘let’s put the dead bodies in pies!’ …… anyway these are preliminary thoughts. if i start thinking too much about them it might collapse around my ears so im gonna leave it there. but. there’s a little something there in my mind. so.

#this is all part of my scheme to marauders au every single musical btw (not actually a scheme guys dw) #but you already know how i feel about bonnie and clyde bartylily #sweeney i think deserves its time in the sun #me and my friend like to play the ballad of sweeney todd at pres #it really gets people in the party spirit

MUSICAL FAILGIRL FIGHT ROUND 1

you all know the drill. here we go. i used edit.org to make this

voting for this is based on who you think encapsulates the "girlfail" trope best - who is the messiest and most pathetic. i will reblog any attached propaganda beyond "vote [x]" and i will post any asks i get.

this is just for the funnies, please be civil. please do not make jokes like "ill kms if [x] doesnt win" or threaten anyone for liking [y] - they are upsetting and not in the spirit of the polls.

February 28, 2023

"No thanks, hold the bloody steak for me. I like it well done. Where you been man? And since when do you eat steak with a switchblade? I have steak knives bro." Ethan joked as he came closer to Luke.

Luke licked the knife clean with one swipe on each side of the blade, then snapped it shut and put it in his pocket. He then pushed his plate aside, stood up and walked over to a desk, still without offering one look at his brother.

"Funny. I pegged you for the bloodier the better type....and this isn't just any switchblade. It's yours. The one that monster gave you. I found it here in the drawer. The memories it brought back to see it were greatly unwanted. I can only assume it's also the one you used to mutilate Orlando's hand with. I felt that the visual of the knife slicing through the bloody flesh was similar to what Lando's hand appeared like to you and it would only up my incentive for what I need...want to do."

Luke opened the desk drawer, pulled out a gun and loaded it, then slowly and finally brought his numb eyes to Ethan's.

Ethan's smile quickly faded as he took a step back, cautiously eyeing his eldest sibling.

"Hey look man, I...don't know what you've been told, but...I didn't do that to Landy. Luke, he was drunk and off his meds. You know how he gets. He did it, not me. What...what are you going to do with my gun??"

Luke then proceeded to walk up to Ethan, leering down at him with a cold dead stare.

"Oh this?" he replied with a raised brow as he rested the barrel of the 38 special against Ethan's chest This is merely a way to extract information out of people like you. One of the things I was taught in my line of work. You see, I don't like liars and I really don't like people fucking with my kid brother. It might benefit you to tell me the truth since I already know it, instead of that bullshit pre-planned statement you spewed to the police and to me. I just want to hear you admit it. What won't benefit you is for you to lie to my face...again."

"Luke man, I'm your brother too. You're not going to shoot me...ar...are...you?"

Luke took a casual stride forward with his darkened eyes still locked onto his target and was now only mere inches from Ethan.

"Oh, I'm not going to kill you, or even shoot you for that matter. It's too noisy for one thing, and well, just far too simple and boring and besides, I don't need a weapon to get my way." Luke chuckled then became dour. "I don't call anyone my brother when they would harm their own blood. Now, that may make me a hypocrite with what I am about to do, but see, you're an exception to my rule, for you're the bad guy...and I'm the good guy in this matter."

Luke slid the gun into his back pocket and grinned at Ethan who didn't sigh in relief, but rather tensed up even more, for he knew what was coming with no time to react, a sucker punch square in the face. The lightning speed jab knocked Ethan flat against the wall, leaving him dazed and confused. Luke then walked up to him and pushed his nose against his.

"Now...tell me what you did to Landy." he growled through his teeth.

Ethan winced and panted as blood oozed from his broken nose and then began ranting in panic.

"It's all that bitch's fault man. She took away what I loved and Landy was defending her cause he loves her too..."

"Projecting as usual. What the fuck are you talking about!!" Luke shouted into Ethan's face.

"Josie man! She ruined everything with Lee. You know how I felt about him!"

"So...you're fucking telling me that you severely injured our...MY brother over some love triangle of yours??!!"

"He...he just got in the way alright?? I had too much to drink and found out that Lee is in love with her and it just set me off when Lando kept fucking sticking up for her and..."

Luke gutted Ethan hard, knocking the words and wind right out of him.

"Who the fuck are you anymore??! Definitely not the victim like you always portray yourself as. The victim lies in a hospital bed with three holes in his hand. Even if this was all over Lee and the woman he LOVES, what is your excuse for all the other times you have beat on Landy all these years hmmm??? And then, I come to find out you brought our piece of trash sperm donor here that you are turning into!! Why would you do that?? You're both cowards! And now you think you have a big dick because you're in the mob. Yeah, I know all about that Ethan! I fucking know everything about you."

"What's the big deal if I brought him here?? He's my dad! Our dad...and Orlando destroyed our family!"

Luke's lips strongly pursed but not before he flash struck Ethan again, knocking him to the ground.

"Don't you ever call him that to me. He's not my father. Not anymore. Not after what he's done. HE destroyed our family. HE destroyed Lando! The two of you deserve each other. Like father like son. He better hope I don't find him."

Ethan stayed on the ground and looked up at Luke through blurred vision. "You can't seriously believe da..my dad did that to Lando? It's all a lie man! All because he got drunk all the time and took it out on Orlando with his fists. Did you know Landy tried to burn the fucking house down with dad in it?? And you weren't even there to know what was happening! You fucking left us!"

Luke's foot went plunging into Ethan's gut, triggering a hefty grunt out of him as he spun over more than once.

"I told you. I know everything. It's not a lie and you know it!"

Ethan laid holding his stomach, gasping for air. "Then...w..why..didn't he...do it...to...me...huh?!!"

"Didn't he? I may have left before I knew the full extent of things, but let me assure you, I found out. I always find out."

Ethan lowered his eyes, ignoring the question as he spit blood onto the floor.

Luke squatted down and folded his hands as he glowered at his ailing brother without a single care.

"What you and Luke did to Landy is unforgivable. SO here's how things are going to go....brother. You're going to stay the fuck away from Lando. You're going to stay the fuck away from Lee AND his girl and if I find out that you have defied my orders, what I have just done to you now...well, you'll wish I would have just shot you."

"You cannot be serious?? I've known Lee forever and I know he cares about me. I know we can work things out if he would just talk to me and she wasn't in the wa..."

Luke grabbed Ethan by the back of his shirt and sent him flying over the table and crashing into the wall.

A neighbor's voice could be heard through the same wall. "KEEP IT DOWN OVER THERE!!! SOME OF US WORK NIGHTS AND NEED TO SLEEP!!!"

"Welp, so much for the noise." Luke jested. "It's time for me to go....for now. Think long and hard about what I said. The things I can do make mob dealings look like a bee sting....which is merely all this was. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

Ethan laid groaning as Luke patted him hard on the shoulder and then left.

4 pm- The farm

You couldn't believe your eyes as you followed Lee down the seemingly mile long winding gravel driveway. There must have been acres upon acres of land with a forestry of trees, and there in the center of the desolate area sat one little white farm house and a red barn. They were actually quite large though once you pulled up in front of the two and a half story house to get a better view.

"Holyyyy shit Lee. This is...so beautiful!!" you raved as you got out of the car, your wide eyes wandering about.

"Not as beautiful as you." he grinned and took your hand to lead you inside....but first he stopped at the door of the cozy front porch. After he opened it, he bent down, swiping your legs out from under you and scooping you up into his arms.

"Lee, what are you doing??" you giggled as you gripped his neck tight.

"What? You're the first girl I have ever brought here, so I thought this would be fitting for the occasion." he happily said with a grin.

Lee continued to carry you over the threshold and through a very large living room, then down a flight of wooden steps that led to the rustic kitchen on the ground level in the back of the house.

What a dream like vision it was, reminding you of your cottage home when you were growing up in Galway. There were large wooden beams on the ceiling, white walls, a wooden floor and an enormous fireplace in the wall as you walked in. A simple round table for four sat in the center and the country air flowed through an open blue painted Dutch door that led to the backyard. It was the picture perfect home.

Lee stopped at the sizeable white wooden kitchen island and picked up a note, reading it aloud.

"I cleaned the house today and all the animals have been tended to. Oh and I got all the groceries you asked me to bring for today. Unless anything has changed, I will be back in the morning for the animals. Let me know. Have a good day Lee.

-Epiphany"

"Well good, then we are all set for the dinner I want to make you later. Hopefully it won't turn out like my first attempt at cooking for you. You want some wine baby?"

"Yeah sure. Epiphany, is that the nurse from the hospital?" you asked.

"Yep. She's one of the few I trust to tend to things here when I'm not around and she loves animals so that's a plus. Don't know what I'd do without her. Besides Lando, she helped out a lot when dad and Jacob...well...anyways, I'll take you out to meet them all in a bit. Gus, my black lab is probably out hanging with the chickens in the barn with Carl, my dad's dog and they just come and go through the doggie door. I have a white cat also, Arctic Freeze, which she is probably asleep somewhere in the house as usual. I can get her out here real fast. Watch this." he said, grinning like a cat himself. You had to wonder if that's how he got his middle name.

Lee took out a can of cat food from the cupboard and opened it with the electric can opener.

"Kitty in the can!!!" Lee hollered, making you laugh as he dumped the meaty bits with gravy out onto a fancy plate.

Claws were heard on the wooden floor as a beautiful white feline with yellowish green eyes raced around the corner, greeting Lee with the meowing song of her people as she circled in and out of his legs. He sat the plate down and the medium sized kitty dug right in, loudly purring as Lee stroked her from head to tail and offered her some sweet baby talk of how he missed her. Swooning you were.

"When she's done, she'll probably jump right on your lap and make herself at home. She's quite intrusive of personal space and has no fear of strangers." he chuckled.

Lee brought the bottle of wine to the table and sat down with you, pouring himself a drink and then getting his phone out.

"Here...so...I figured it out." he said as he scrolled through it.

"What's that?"

"The song you wanted me to guess that night when we had our bath video call. The one you said reminded you of me when you first met me. The clues weren't as easy as the song you guessed that I was listening to, but I did some googling." he explained with a cute smirk. "You said it was when you were at home and you had my bracelet and that you were wondering who I was, that I had you spellbound and you couldn't understand the control I had over you....and you said you got another sign because the song played in that moment...well....I'm pretty sure I'm right on my guess, but I'll let you hear it first. Either way, I love this song....and for the record...I felt the same about you."

Lee hit play and sure enough, he was correct. Lacuna Coil "Spellbound".

"Yep, that's it!" you laughed and then began singing it, making Lee gaze at you, spellbound himself.

"Tell me who you are cuz I am spellbound. You cannot have this control on me. Everywhere I go, I am spellbound. I will break the spell you put on me..."

"Except I didn't break it. Couldn't if I wanted to..." you continued.

"What?? That witchiness in you couldn't fend off little ol' me?" Lee laughed.

"Nope. I was done for....and you're hardly little."

Lee gave the most devious gutter grin, making you almost spit out your wine as you took a sip.

"Oh god, you are sooooo bad Dr. Pace."

"I am...and you love it."

Lee stood up with a huge smile on his face and pulled you and against him.

"So...I've already carried you over the threshold. What do you say we go up to my room and consummate it."

You were helpless in his firm hold as his lips found yours. Up your arms went, gliding them around his neck as you lightly moaned into his mouth.

Lee's hand traveled down your backside and gripped it over your thigh, pulling you into his awakening manhood. You bent your knee in response and lifted your leg as he slid his hand under it, holding it there against his hip. The kiss deepened as your tongues softly tangled. The scent of his wine tinged breath intoxicated you and you found yourself undoing his shirt buttons....until two barking dogs came plowing through the doggie door in a frenzy like state, jumping all over him and you.

"Whoa hey, Gus, Carl....my bros. That's not how we greet our guests. And I really need to teach you about cock blocking." Lee chortled and vigorously pet each panting dog's head simultaneously. "Have a seat guys....and meet my girlfriend...Jo. Jo, this is Carl and Gus."

The two doting canines obeyed their master and sat perfectly, side by side with their tales wagging a million miles an hour and antsy bottoms as they stared up at you.

You bent down and scratched each of their cheeks in which both decided to lap your forearms with their drooling tongues, making you giggle.

"Guys guys, come on. If anyone needs a bath, it's the two of you holy barn rollers. Give her a hand shake and then go get a drink."

You were dumbfounded as these two extremely obedient dogs did exactly what he said. They raised their paws and you shook them with a laugh, then they pranced off to their water bowls.

"Welp, it's official. They love you...but I knew they would. How could they not? They're spellbound, just like me....alright my girl....let's go meet the rest of the barn crew and I'll show you around the rest of the place."

After meeting the half a dozen giant chickens out in the colossal red barn, Lee took you out to the pond that was a short walk from there. The murky sizeable water was surrounded by trees and consisted of a single wooden deck, in which Gus came hauling ass from behind and raced down it, then leaped into the air, plunging into the water.

"Fuck me." Lee griped as he shook his head. "Guess he's getting his bath."

"Well, you did pretty much tell him he stunk."

"Yeah well, he's just showing off for you. POSER!" Lee shouted at him, making you laugh.

Gus finally came out after paddling an entire lap around the pond. Lee quickly grabbed and shielded you as he turned his back to what he knew was coming. The wet dog shake.

Lee tensed up and flinched as water showered all over his backside. You squealed and laughed the whole time as you buried your face into Lee's chest.

"God damn it Gus! Not cool! Go on...go dry off cause you're not coming inside until you do and don't go rolling in the hay either." Lee scoffed as the dog riposted with a bark and charged off, yet making you laugh once again.

"Oh, you think this is funny eh??" Lee smirked. "How about I throw you in there."

You swiftly stepped back with a look of panic. "No...please...don't..."

Lee's face turned into panic as well as he had forgotten you couldn't swim and were terrified of the water.

"Oh god no...baby...I was joking..I..I would....never...I wasn't really going to...I swear sweetheart....I wasn't thinking..."

You took his face into your hands to calm him, for he was more freaked out than you had been.

"Hey...I know...it's ok. I just overreacted."

"No Jo, you didn't. Your reaction was quite justifiable after what your sister did to you. Jesus I feel so damn stupid. The look on your face Jo...my god, you were scared of me...I...just like before when I..."

"Lee...baby...no...stop. I was not afraid of you. I was afraid of being tossed in the water....which I truly knew deep down you wouldn't do. As far as before, that's in the past and it was an accident."

"Not for me it isn't. It was only a month ago....and..."

You pulled him into another kiss, which shut him up real fast as he moaned and took your mouth fully into his.

"Mmmm, damn it Jo." he whispered as his lips separated from yours. "I swear you're a witch." he chuckled as he rubbed the tip of his nose over yours, then kissed it.

"Maybe I am." you giggled with a slight cackle to get a rise out of him.

"Oh man, I am so fucked, aren't I Miss Massachusetts?"

"Well...do you remember when you took me to the park by your lake house?"

"How could I forget that amazing night under the stars?"

"Last one to the house is a rotten egg!" you quipped and tickled his ribs.

"Whoa hey!" he jumped and laughed, then chased you back to the house as you playfully screamed along the way.

Just as you got inside, thunder was heard in the distance, which made you jump.

"Hey, no worries baby. If we get another bad storm, I have a basement remember? Minus the ceiling fan." he joked. "We can even sleep down there if it makes you feel better. It's quite spacious and the couch folds out into a bed."

"Ohhh, so...I'm spending the night?" you asked with a kinky smirk and raised brow.

"Would you?" he sweetly asked. "I...I really want to hold you all night and wake up with you in my arms again."

"There's no place I'd rather be. Of course I will stay."

Thunder cracked, the sleeping cat went hauling ass out of the room and Gus was barking as the rain began. Lee went to the back door and shouted for Gus to get inside.

"Guess your wet ass gets a pass this time dude. Go down to the basement with Carl." he told him, and sure enough, the lab happily trotted off with his toe nails clicking on the wooden floor.

"Alright baby, I will start dinner since it will take a few hours to cook. Do you want to help?"

"Do you want dinner to be ruined?" you laughed. "You know I can't cook for shit, remember?"

"I do remember you telling me that, but I can always teach you, just like I can to swim someday if you...want."

His eyes fell again as he turned to get the food out.

"Hey you." you softly said as you went up t him and rubbed his arm. "Sure. I would like that, for both things. I would trust no other but you."

Lee's eyes melted at your words and he leaned over to kiss your forehead.

"I love you baby girl. Ok then, I think you can manage to peel potatoes yes?"

"With a peeler sure. Keep the knives away from my accident prone ass." you chuckled. "Or I may need my doctor."

"Well, dear girl, the doctor is in. But yeah..." he laughed. "There is a peeler right there in the drawer."

You peeled the spuds as Lee chopped up carrots, onions and celery, then seasoned up a small chuck roast and tossed it all in a crock pot with some broth and butter. The perfect country style dinner that made everything feel like home....and it was. Lee was home to you.

Once that was done, Lee began chopping up ingredients for salad and showed you how to make the dressing. Lastly, this man was never ending with his capabilities and he began making a cherry pie from scratch.

"Wow, just when I thought you couldn't surprise me any more than you have, you're a pie maker too?"

"You can thank my mom for that. She taught me when I was young because her pies were pure heaven and I wanted to make sure I knew how to always have that taste of home, ya know? And...I know you love cherries so...."

"I do Mr. observant. Thank you Lee...for all of this. It's truly a breath of fresh air...literally. This place, the smell of the forest and the rain....you."

"And wet chicken dog." he chortled.

"That too. It's...perfect."

You sat down at the table and poured another glass of wine, then noticed a photo album nearby.

"Lee...may I look at your pictures?"

"Sure baby. Go ahead. I will start a fire too. It gets kinda chilly at night here."

"Even more perfect."

Lee took care of the fireplace that sat behind you while you opened the book of memories. It was filled with Lee as a child and into his adult years, and plenty of his mom, dad and brother too.

"Wow, Lee. that's your mom and dad? She's beautiful and...you look just like them both."

"Thank you. I get that a lot. Those were happier times with Gordon, when he wasn't a dick."

"Have you heard anything yet about the lawsuit over the farm?"

"Nope. Not a word yet...but I've already lawyered up and ready for it."

"Ugh, I wish he would just leave you alone...Ethan too....sorry. I didn't mean to mention him."

"No, it's fine Jo. Hey, turn the page. You'll find the next pic interesting."

You gasped and smiled when you saw it. "Oh my god...look at you, Orlando and Luke. You're all babies and oh my, I love your longer hair. Hot!!" you giggled.

"Well thanks." he laughed. "I thought you'd like that. Yeah that was a few years into med school and we all went out one night when Luke came for a visit."

"What happened with that? I mean Luke. Why did he leave?"

Lee poured himself another drink and sat down beside you. "I don't know really. The troubles at home got to him, that much I know. He's very private, always has been. A loner kind of. I used to wonder if he was into some shady shit because of it and well...I wasn't that far off base when he clued me in. I mean, he himself isn't shady. Not like Ethan anyways. Let's just say, you don't want to be on his bad side. Otherwise though, he's the nicest dude you'll ever meet."

"Like...what does he do?"

"He...handles the bad guys of the world per se. You ever heard of the....WSB?"

"Get the fuck outta here. World Security Bureau...Really? He's like a...secret agent man? No effing way."

"Way." Lee confirmed. "Although it's not so secret."

"Like...terrorists and shit?"

"Pretty much. He's a big wig that's for sure."

You slapped the book shut, drank down your wine and got up.

"Jo? What's wrong baby?"

"N..nothing...I...it just....made me think of someone...I used to....know...that I haven't thought about...in years."

"Well it must not be nothing, because, sweetheart, you're...shaking. Talk to me."

You didn't want to speak of it. The thought of mentioning it felt like you would jinx things, for the someone you thought of, was just that, a terrorist, and the son of one too.

You went right back and poured another glass, the swigged it down.

"Whoa, hey Jo..."

Lee took the glass away and then held your face. "What just happened here? Jo, what has got you so upset? Come on, let's go sit in on the back porch for a bit."

You trusted no one with what you were about to tell him. No one but Lee...although others knew....especially Britt.

"I...I met a very terrible man once. I was with Gerry at the time. The man's name was....is...god, I can't even say it..."

"Hey hey, it's ok. Take your time baby. You're safe."

Lee took your hand and his compassionate sapphire eyes dancing all over your face took your fears away.

"His name is...Peter August....but his real name is Henrik Faison....the son of Cesar Faison."

"Why do I know that name...Faison?"

"Because he was an international terrorist and was taken down not long ago...by Gerry and Britt's brother Nathan. God, this is such a fucked up mess of a story to explain."

"Take your time sweetheart. I'm right here. I catch on quick." he assured with a soft smile.

"Nathan was Gerry's partner. He was also Maxi's husband, my good friend that I rarely see anymore after what happened. Nathan, Britt and Peter are all siblings, but they only share the same father, Cesar Faison. Britt, Nathan and Dave share the same mother. Anyways...I met Peter through Britt, before she knew who he was. I mean, she knew he was her brother but she didn't know the shit he was in to. To try and make a long story short, he became infatuated with me. At first, I was kind of in to him, but when it became known who and what he was, I ran like hell. But he wouldn't let me."

"One night..." you continued on. "Gerry and Nathan took off. They had got a lead that Cesar was in the area and I panicked. Cesar was a psychopath, just as Peter was. I...I followed Gerry without his knowledge. They trapped Cesar and Peter both, in the hospital lounge and locked it down. They had went there in hopes that Britt would help them, but she wasn't even there that night. I had made it inside before the lockdown took place...I...I was just so scared for Gerry at that time. It was so stupid, I know, because honestly, what was I going to do?"

"Jesus..." Lee gasped. "I...I remember all that...Jo...I was..there. Not on that floor, but I was there. I knew Nathan was her brother, but I didn't know about this Peter guy. My god...you...you were there??"

"Yeah...and I stupidly came in at the wrong time and was taken hostage by Cesar. He held me at gunpoint as Gerry pointed his own gun at him. Gerry then warned that he was a perfect shot and could take him out with a bullet between his eyes as that monster held me against him with a gun stuck in my side. Cesar warned back that he very well could, but his finger my reflex and shoot me...so Gerry backed down."

"Then...it all happened so fast. The elevator doors behind Gerry opened, and Nathan came out with his gun drawn and...Cesar shot him

And then...Peter begged his father to let me go, but he wouldn't listen to him. Peter had his own gun and pulled it on his dad, which pissed him off and he shot Peter....the only thing is...Peter's bullet hit me...and then Gerry shot and killed Cesar."

"My god....that was...you that was shot??!! I heard about the hostage being shot but....my god Jo...you were right there under my nose...you'd been in my orbit all that time...and...obviously, you were ok, physically that is. Baby, I...I thought I saw what looked like a shot scar on your stomach but I never thought...."

"Yeah, it is...right here..."

You pulled up your shirt and showed him. Lee's eyes teared up as he lightly traced his trembling finger over it.

"Th...thank god...you're alive...I..."

"And so is Peter...but as you know, Nathan died. Cesar shot his own son...well, both of them. Peter is now in prison for his other crimes which I don't even want to get into...but after all that happened, Peter became just as whacked out at his father and did some really horrible shit to me."

"Well, then he can never hurt you again. God, Jo, I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that."

"Well, getting shot was my own dumb fault. I should never have been there. If I hadn't went, I would still be able to have...."

You froze...you forgot Lee didn't know that you couldn't have children now.

"Jo? Have what sweetheart?"

You went to get up but Lee stopped you.

"Baby...talk to me. That is what you always tell me to do. You can trust me Jo...I'm here and I'm not going anywhere...ever. When I said forever, I meant it."

"Forever?" you squeaked as you sniffled.

"Yes baby, forever. I love you...so much."

"You may not feel the same if you knew...I...I'm so scared to tell you..."

"Look at me Jo...there is nothing, and I mean nothing that could ever make me stop loving you. I'm not Gerry, I'm not Peter...I'm me...it's me Jo...me. Don't be scared. I'm right here to catch you."

You broke down bawling and just spit it out. "Lee...I...I can't have children now."

Your beautiful man proved to you that he was everything he said he was as he pulled you into his arms and cradled you while you cried. You were beautiful with him, even in the darkest parts of you.

"Oh my sweet girl. I am so sorry. But I need you to hear me and hear me good....I'm not with you to have children. I'm with you because I love you and that's all I want...you baby. Forever....."

"No, I don't know why Ethan didn't show up for the shipment. I'll find him and see what happened." Johnny assured someone on the other end of his phone.

Johnny Zacchara, a member of one of the notorious mob families in Salem, was now beyond frustrated, for once again, he believed that Ethan was out screwing off as usual.

Just as he was getting ready to call him, there was a subtle knock on the door of his penthouse at the Metro Court.

As he opened it, he found a battered and bruised Ethan using the door frame as a crutch.

"What the hell man? Who'd you piss off this time?"

Ethan smiled to act like he was fine. "Hey mate...you got an ice pack I could borrow?"

He then stumbled in and dropped straight to the ground.

"Jesus man, here, come on. Get up and sit on the couch."

Johnny helped him up and over to the couch, then went and got him some ice wrapped in a cloth.

"Alright, tell me...in a nutshell. Do I need to be concerned about what happened?"

"No. It doesn't concern you. More of a domestic dispute per se. But there's definitely a few people that should be very concerned once I heal up. I'm done with the games and biding my time. Mark my words...the people responsible for this will pay. This I vow."

Nellie Maria Cartwright: Andrew & Savannah's eldest child, named after Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd (and Nell Baker, Kurt's aunt/Josh St James' future wife) and Maria from West Side Story. Fun fact, she was conceived the night that Andrew proposed, and Savannah was seven months pregnant during their wedding

Roger Christian Cartwright-Hudson: Finn & Colton's son, biologically Colton's with Savannah as the surrogate. Named after Roger from Rent and Christian from Moulin Rouge. Fun fact, he and Lucy were born within a month of each other

Lucy Cecilia Cartwright-Hudson: Finn & Colton's daughter, biologically Finn's with Cece as the surrogate. Both of her names have triple meanings — Lucy for the song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, for Sweeney Todd, and for Quinn, and Cecilia for the song, Cecilia Loftus, and Cece

Audrey Roberta Cartwright: Andrew & Savannah's second child, named after Audrey from Little Shop Of Horrors, and Robert from Company (with a bonus nod to her Uncle Bobby), looks almost identical to her younger cousin Christine

George Stephen Cartwright: Andrew & Savannah's third child, Audrey's younger twin. Named after Sunday In The Park with George as well as after his dad, his Uncle Colton, and Stephen Sondheim

Christine Stephanie Cartwright-Hudson: Finn & Colton's youngest daughter, biologically Colton's with Savannah as the surrogate. She was named Christine after Phantom Of The Opera, and Stephanie after her dad, her Uncle Andrew, and Stephen Sondheim

*there are various versions of the trio children depending on Andrew's ship, this particular variation is specific to Savannah Evans

**both Quinn and Andrew legally changed their names to Cartwright in high school, and passed that on to their children

Has anyone listened to the Chasten Buttigieg/Lovett interview yet? I’m afraid to…Lovett’s interview with Pete did not go well 😬 (I’m actually surprised Chasten agreed to go on)

Look. Pete and Chasten need to lighten the fuck up. Lovett is trying to make them relatable. I find Chasten charming, but they're not very interesting people in terms of personality.

I get it. I'm Midwestern. I understand that Pete wants to be liked by Midwestern conservatives and he can't do that by being super into queer culture. But would it kill him to play along and answer which Chris is the most fuckable? The only correct answer is Evans. Pete picked Prstt because of course he did. It's a safe Midwestern answer.

But Lovett did nothing wrong in the Chasten interview. If you asked me yesterday I had a different answer. I would have said Lovett’s expectations are too high. And I'm surprised Jon and Tommy still let him do interviews without them around. And they're never getting Pete on PSA and they should be mad. But that was yesterday.

After sleeping on it, I am of the opinion that it's part of Lovetts charm. And I 100% want him to be his authentic self in these interviews and Pete and Chasten should 100% lighten the fuck up. Be playful. Watch drag race once in a while boys.

HISTORY.

— SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE, REALLY. little lucy averley. their parents were acquaintances, but there was always somewhat of a divide between their respective families. the averleys were somewhat better off than the evans. the averleys had four pretty little girls, all yellow hair and bright smiles. meanwhile, the evans had sickly children and alcoholism running through every vein. despite this, nellie and lucy got on well growing up beside each other. lucy didn't need nellie. lucy had other pretty friends to entertain her. nellie watched lucy grow into her beauty. somewhat awkward limbs were graceful with every movement. she was perfect. meanwhile, nellie was lanky and too tall for most of the men they knew. lucy could have anyone she wanted. but nellie was getting desperate. twenty-three years old and no husband in sight.

eventually, nellie met albert lovett at the fish market. thank goodness for him. there was no love between the couple, but he needed a wife and she needed a husband. he proposed. she accepted. the wedding was simple. she found a nice enough sunday dress to wear. it was brown, as if she was a widow getting remarried. lucy was one of her bridesmaids. she put some rogue on her cheeks and lips. nellie looked almost pretty. the wedding night was more like a handshake. more formal than passionate.

albert moved them to london. he liked her cooking, baking even more. his mother used to own a pie shop. so they set up the business. they were moderately successful. though, that might have been due to albert eating more of the pies than actually selling them. to earn a little more money, they began renting out the rooms above the shop.

that was when he moved in.

benjamin barker. the barber with his brown hair and bright eyes. suddenly, nellie was no so thankful she found a man to settle down with. she wish she waited for mr. barker upstairs. she laughed at each one of his puns and he did the same with her. they were meant for each other, nellie realized. but it couldn’t be until after albert passed that they could be married.

mr. barker was invited to a dance one night. he came home whistling. albert complained. nellie fawned. he told nellie in the morning that he met someone. the girl that he knew he was going to marry. nellie’s whole world crumpled in that moment. whoever this girl was that was taking mr. barker from her, nellie hated her.

she didn’t actually meet the soon-to-be mrs. barker until after the couple was engaged. then, as nellie was hunched over a slab of dough, she heard her name called. upon turning around, she saw her. lucy averley. her best friend. her jealousy. nellie hated her.

lucy asked her to be her maid of honor. maid of honor! that was an even higher ranking than bridesmaid. but nellie stared at her yellow hair, her green eyes, her pale face, the ring on her slender finger … she said no. nellie never wanted to be apart of her life. never wanted lucy at all. obviously hurt, lucy stopped calling her by her first name. it was as if they had never been friends.

at mr. barker’s invitation, the lovetts attended the wedding. they left before the brunch. lucy moved into mr. barker’s apartment. a year into their marriage, the barkers announced they were having a baby. when johanna came into the world, albert complained about the fuss and all the crying. nellie didn’t care. jealousy took control of her. she sat albert down and told him she wanted a baby. they made a few attempts. that ended in sighs, a few tears, and blood. nellie would never get that baby that she wanted so desperately to prove mrs. barker wrong.

then mr. barker was arrested. mrs. barker disappeared one night and returned with a bottle of poison. nellie barely understood what happened, but she had the gist of it. mrs. barker went mad. johanna cried. the judge came back & took the remaining barker women away.

it was just her and albert. until albert’s leg gave out with gout. until albert died one morning.

nellie rolled up her sleeves and continued on. her business was failing. taxes went unpaid.

when benjamin barker returned. not exactly the same man he was before. he was sweeney todd now. but nellie liked sweeney todd even more. he wanted his revenge, she needed her business to improve. plans were made. delicious plans. she took in a small boy called toby. loved him like the child she never had. she made a new life for mr. todd, a new family. yet he never looked her way. he only moped around the house. pining for lucy. nellie understood why he wanted to get johanna back, but in time, she started to hate johanna, too. she was too much like lucy. too much of a distraction. mr. todd had her now. her and toby. it was the new life.

his mrs. barker was still alive, although nellie told mr. todd she swallowed poison. it wasn't really a lie, now, was it? the night the mr. todd finally got his revenge on the judge, was the night he found out the beggar woman was his lucy. in his rage, mr. todd told nellie that he loved her. she was not a stupid woman, but she danced with him. until she was thrown in the oven and burned to death.
