Scene One - The Glubbs House; Shane, Natasha & Jacob's Home

"I wish I had come by sooner," Adam tells Natasha as she pours him a glass of iced tea as they stand in the living room and passes it to him. "Things have been hectic on my end that stopped me." He knows that he is referring to the fact that Reg passed away and not only is Helen blaming him for her father's death but she is also paying off Reg's unpaid debts, which is leaving Adam feeling upset. He doesn't want to dwell on that with Natasha right now, however.

"Don't apologize, I'm fine," Natasha replies to her friend as they catch up. "I just had a minor fall, that's all. Everyone needs to stop worrying about me."

"I'm glad that you're okay. Have you had any more memories about the night of the fall?" he asks her, knowing that she can't remember why she was at his house the night she fell down the stairs.

"I haven't no, but I'm assuming I was there to see you," she tells him as she moves him to the sofa. "I think I needed to talk to you."

"Talk to me? That doesn't make sense either, Natasha," he explains to her. "You knew that I would have been at the hospital with Helen and Barbara. The night you fell was the night Reg passed away."

Natasha gets a look of confusion on her face as she wonders why she was at Adam's house then. "You're right, I did know that," she says, slowly putting some of the pieces together.

"Only Dawn was at home but I can't imagine why you would have wanted to speak with her."

Natasha shakes her head. "I don't know either," she says, drawing a blank. "I'm sure my memory will come back to me eventually."

"Do you remember what it was that you would have wanted to tell me?" Adam asks her. "I mean, we had pretty much cleared everything up about the affair."

Natasha looks back at him and immediately feels her eyes swell with water. He notices her getting emotional and wonders what is going on with his friend. "What is it Natasha?"

She looks back at him. "Before the fall, I had been experiencing some dizzy spells. I remember feeling one around Christmas time and then earlier in the New Year."

"Okay," he says not sure what she is getting at.

"I was pregnant Adam," she reveals to him as a look of horror creeps over his face. "With our baby."

He stands up and runs his hands through his hair. "My God, this can't be happening. Not now, not after you and Shane are back on solid ground and Helen and I are in a good place."

"It's not happening," Natasha stands up behind him. "When I fell, I lost the baby. I had a miscarriage."

Adam looks at her again and feels his heart break inside his chest. Without speaking, he pulls her into a hug as she starts to weep a little. He can't help but get a little choked up himself, it all suddenly dawning on him that he could have been a father again.

"What's going on in here?" Shane asks as he opens the front door and moves into the house, seeing his wife in the arms of another man.

Scene Two - Twin Peaks General Hospital

Kim paces around the waiting room trying to stay calm as she awaits some kind of news about Andy. She went to visit her brother to see if she could talk him into cutting back on his drinking when she found him passed out inside his condo in a pool of his own vomit. Kim, of course, called 911 and now is waiting to hear some kind of news about him. She just hopes that she got him to the hospital in time before it's too late.

"Kimberly?" Bob calls out to her as he walks into the waiting room. "I came as soon as I heard, how is Andy?"

Kim turns around and looks at her husband, grateful that despite being separated from him currently that he is willing to come and support her in her time of crisis. "Thank God you're here Bob, I'm so scared," she says as she hugs him.

"Don't be scared, you did the right thing by bringing him to the hospital," he tells her as they exit their embrace. "Have you heard any news at all about him?"

Kim shakes her head as she fights tears in her eyes. "The doctor's took him into a room and I haven't heard anything since. I hope he's okay Bob. I don't know what I would do if something happened to my brother."

"You can't think like that Kimberly," Bob informs her. "We have to stay positive. Andy will be just fine, you'll see."

"I'm praying that you're right," she tells him as she puts her hands over her face. "I've been such a horrible sister ignoring him all these months when the warning signs have been there. I should have helped him sooner."

"This is not your fault Kimberly," Bob replies to her as he grabs her hand. "You can't blame yourself for Andy's actions."

Before Kim can reply, Victoria walks into the waiting room. "Victoria, how is Andy? How is my brother?" Kim asks her as she moves up to the doctor.

"He should be fine," Victoria announces as Kim breathes a sigh of relief. "But this is rather serious. We had to pump his stomach because of the amounts of alcohol he had consumed. And, he could have choked to death on his own vomit had you not arrived when you did. I hope that you and Andy realize how serious this is."

Kim lets a tear fall down her cheek. "I do Victoria, thank you so much for saving him. Can I go in and see him?"

"The nurse will come and let you know when he is awake. I would rather he rest until he wakes up on his own, then of course you can go in."

"Thank you again Victoria," Bob tells her as she turns and walks out of the waiting room. "See, what did I tell you?"

"You were right Bob," Kim tries to smile back to him. "The hard part is finding a way to make Andy realize how serious this is."

Scene Three - The Victors Mansion; Vinny & Daisy's Home

"I just hope we ain't gonna see a repeat of the other day," Jemma tells Daisy and Vinny as she pours herself a cup of coffee and then turns around to face her niece. Jemma wasn't too pleased when Daisy and Trenyce were looking at old photo albums with her and they saw some pictures of Danielle's. Jemma was telling Trenyce stories about her mother's childhood and when Trenyce left the room, Daisy had nothing nice to say about her twin sister. Trenyce ended up overhearing Daisy bad mouth Danielle and rushed out.

"What happened the other day?" Vinny asks her before looks over at Daisy, who rolls her eyes a little.

"It was a misunderstanding," Daisy replies to him before she looks at Jemma. "I never meant to hurt Trenyce's feelings, Jemma, you have to believe me."

"You may not have meant to, but believe me, she left her one very hurt lil girl," Jemma informs her, causing Daisy to feel bad. "You see Vinny, Miss Daisy started sayin' some real nasty things 'bout Trenyce's Mama."

"Danielle?" Vinny asks, as he looks over at Daisy.

"Yes!" Daisy snaps, tired of Jemma making her feel bad. "I never meant for Trenyce to hear what I said, okay? But you have to understand that what Danielle did to me is not something I can just let go of."

"I agree with you there," Jemma replies to her, surprising Daisy. "There are some things, however, that should just stay in the past. Your history with your sister is one of them."

"I will try not to say anything bad about her again in front of Trenyce," Daisy tells her as Jemma smiles back to her.

"That's all I'm askin' Miss Daisy," Jemma replies to her. "Now, if you'll 'cuse me, I'mma head up and wash my hair this mornin'."

Vinny waits until Jemma is out of the room. "What the hell was that about?"

Daisy shrugs. "I wish I knew. I know that I shouldn't let Trenyce hear me but…"

"Do you think Jemma is hiding something? Her cryptic message 'some things in the past should stay there', what was that?" Vinny asks her as Daisy arches her eyebrow, wondering if Jemma has a past.

"I dunno but I agree that it seemed odd," Daisy tells him.

"Yea, I agree."

"I suppose the only thing left to do is figure out what it could be," Daisy says back to him. "I have to find out if my Aunt is hiding something."

Scene Four - The Richardson Estate; Frederick, Meggan & Lukas' Home

"Is Jeff going to be joining us for breakfast this morning?" Frederick asks Meggan, who grabs a couple of pieces of toast and moves them to her plate.

"No, he had an early meeting at Robertson Enterprises," she replies to him, thinking about her lover that is still living upstairs while he finds his own place. "I hope you weren't expecting him."

Frederick chuckles a little. "Not at all, having my children alone with me in the morning is just fine."

"What's your day looking like?" Lukas asks his father, as he picks up his orange juice and takes a mouthful.

Frederick knows that Felicia has agreed for him to put her under in a hypnosis session to help her try to uncover all of her memories from the night Leah died. He doesn't, however, want to bore his children with that type of news. "I have to see a few patients and especially Felicia. There are some developments with her that are quite critical."

Lukas looks over at Meggan and gives her a smirk as the siblings have discussed before that they believe Frederick has feelings for Felicia. Frederick, however, doesn't notice the quick, silent, interaction between the siblings.

"How about you two? Any big plans?" Frederick asks his children, trying to change the subject.

"I'm sure I will be helping Jeff with some project today," Meggan replies as she takes a bite of her toast.

"And Lukas?" Frederick asks his son.

Lukas pauses for a moment before he looks over at his father. "I was thinking of maybe heading out of town for a few days."

"Really? You never mentioned anything to me," Meggan quickly replies to her brother, surprised by his news.

"This is news to me as well, what has brought this on?" Frederick asks him, curious by Lukas' outburst.

Lukas takes another drink of his orange juice and recalls how things have been a little tense between him and Craig since they realized that Donovan is in Twin Peaks and Lukas and Donovan used to date when they lived in Europe. Craig has pressed him about his past but also to come out; Lukas is feeling the pressure mount from his lover.

"I just feel like a change of scenery may be nice," he reveals to them. "I was thinking of heading down to the winery in Santa Barbara. I always seem to regroup when I'm at our childhood home."

"I could call the housekeeping staff and make sure everything is ready for you," Frederick quickly tells him, thinking it is a good idea.

"I'd appreciate that Dad, thank you," Lukas replies to him. "I guess I just want to clear my head and feel close to Mom."

Frederick freezes at the word "Mom". It's not often he thinks about his deceased wife and the mother of his children. There are so many memories for him that are painful, too painful to talk about. He prefers just to lead his life in the present.

"Dad? Are you okay? You got pale all of a sudden," Meggan observes to her father.

"I'm fine," he replies to her. "It's just talk of your Mother makes me incredibly sad. There was so much heartbreak in our relationship… but let's not dwell on that. I'll go make the call for you Lukas."

Meggan looks at her brother after Frederick has left the room. "You are planning to come back here, aren't you?"

Lukas laughs a little. "Of course I am," he says with a grin. "I'll be gone a couple of days at most. I promise you."

"Good, cause I've gotten used to having my little brother around here."

Scene Five - The Sugarbowl

Dominick opens the door to the coffeehouse and moves inside, desperate for another cup of coffee this morning. He has a full day planned and he doesn't know if he will be able to make it through without one more cup of java. He places his order and then takes his coffee over to the coffee bar, where he puts some cream and sugar into his cup. He gives it a quick stir and then puts a lid on it. He moves the coffee to his lips and takes a quick sip.

He turns around and is about to leave the coffeehouse when he spots Rebecca sitting at the bar window drinking a coffee and reading the morning edition of the Sun. He arches his eyebrow at the woman, whom he knows is living with Cory currently. He recalls the other day when Cory informed him that Robin has finally reached out to him, which makes Dominick thrilled. When he questioned Cory about living with Rebecca, however, something about Cory's demeanour changed. Dominick can't place it, but he didn't like what he saw in Cory's reaction.

"Lovely morning, isn't it?" Dominick says to Rebecca as he approaches her. She turns around and smiles at the her former step father.

"It is," she purses her lips back to him. "I haven't seen you around much. How are you Dominick?"

"I'm busy but I'm good. Wonderful news about Robin, isn't it?"

"Absolutely," Rebecca smiles back to him. "I'm thrilled that my sister is getting better."

Dominick chuckles a little. "I'm sure that you are."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean? How dare you suggest that I'm not happy that Robin is getting better," she snaps back at him, not enjoying his tone with her.

"I didn't suggest no such thing, interesting that you jumped to that conclusion," he says back to her. "Listen to me very closely Rebecca," he warns her as he moves closer to her. "I want you to stay away from Cory and Robin. I don't trust you and I won't let you hurt my daughter or her husband."

Rebecca smiles back to him and moves a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Are you finished because my latte is getting cold," she tells him as she turns around and continues reading her paper. She can hear Dominick walk away from her; she shuts her eyes and breathes a sigh of relief. "That was close," she thinks to herself, knowing that she has to avoid Dominick in the future. He was always able to read her and she can't have her secret coming out.

Scene Six - The Tower's, The Penthouse; Cory & Robin's Home

Cory scrambles around the large penthouse suite trying to collect all of his paper work that he has to take to Wild Night to do some inventory for the night club. He hasn't been to the office in a while and he realizes how much he has to do as he starts to collect everything and places it into his brief case.

In his mind, however, he is also thinking about the last couple of weeks in his life and how things have changed so drastically. He and Rebecca slept together on New Year's Eve, but quickly regretted it afterwards because of Robin. Soon, however, they were back in each other's beds and enjoying every part of one another. Cory once again decided to end the affair and it had perfect timing because he learned that Robin was getting better from the institution. He has waited for this moment for so long and now it seems like it could be happening: his wife could be coming home to him. At the same time, he hopes that he didn't use Rebecca.

"I want my wife to come home more than anything else in the world," he says to himself as he finishes collecting his paper work. "Okay, I think I have it all."

Just as he starts to move towards the door so he can leave, he hears the telephone ring. "Ah!" he says in frustration. "Who could that be? I'm already running late."

He quickly runs over to the telephone and picks it up. "Hello…" he pauses when he gets a huge grin on his face. "Robin? Is that really you?"

Scene Seven - The Calimo House; Robbie, Paige & Felicia's Home

Robbie finishes his coffee and looks around the empty breakfast table. He wonders where everyone else is, usually both Paige and Felicia come down for breakfast before they all set out on their days. He knows that sometimes Felicia skips breakfast and eats when she finally wakes up, but this isn't like Paige at all.

He wonders if she is upset with him for something. He recalls having dinner with her a few nights earlier and Robbie spotted Victoria at the Pampa Grill. He went up to his ex-fiancé and tried to have a civil conversation with her; Paige ended up overhearing Victoria tell him that she doesn't even know who he is anymore because of his actions to Jeff since Leah died. He wishes that Victoria would understand that he is doing this for Leah not to spite Jeff, especially if it is making Paige upset.

"I will make her understand," he whispers to himself. "It just may take some more time."

He stands up and moves into the kitchen, where he sets his coffee mug into sink. "Okay, time to find out where my daughter is," he says, thinking of Paige and not realizing that he called her his daughter despite her being Jeff's daughter.

He exits the kitchen and moves to the stairwell. He walks up and arrives at Paige's bedroom door. He knocks on it. "Paige, darling? Are you awake?" he asks as he opens the door a little.

Paige turns and looks at the man she believed was her father for so many years. "I'm up, yes, sorry I missed breakfast."

"That's just fine, I was just worried about you. What's going on?" he asks her, as he notes a large suitcase on her bed.

Paige sighs and looks back at Robbie. "Please understand that what I'm about to tell you is because I just want some time for me. It has nothing to do with you or Grandma."

"Okay, that's fine. Just tell me…"

"I'm moving into Grandpa Bob's for a while," she stuns him. "He offered me a place and I've decided to accept."

"I see," Robbie replies to him, as he tries to keep his cool. Inside, however, his blood starts to boil. How dare his father, the man who is more responsible for Leah's death than anyone else, is now taking Paige into his house? Robbie refuses to let this happen. He realizes that Bob is using this to his advantage.

"You're not mad are you?" Paige asks him. "It's not forever. Just for awhile."

"Of course I'm not mad," Robbie lies to her as he comes up and hugs her. "I want what's best for you and as an adult, if you think this is what's best, then I support you."

"Thank you Daddy," she says as she hugs him back, oblivious to Robbie's anger.

Scene Eight - The Glubbs House; Shane, Natasha & Jacob's Home

"I'll call you soon," Adam tells Natasha as he lets go of her hands. "And if you need anything, and I mean anything, you can call Helen and I."

"I know that," Natasha replies to him as she smiles. "And thank you for not saying anything."

"Of course, we are in this together," he says to her as he leaves the house and she shuts the door. Natasha takes a deep breath and moves back into the living room, where she sees Shane pouring a glass of water.

"You didn't answer me earlier," Shane tells her as he takes a drink of the water. "What was going on when I walked in?"

"Nothing," she lies to her husband. "Adam just came by to see how I was doing. He hugged me, that's all. I can't believe that you're jealous of Adam."

"It's not that," he quickly replies to her. "I guess I'm just wondering why you can feel like you can hug him but not me. Or hold your son."

Natasha feels her eyes swell with water as she moves up to her husband. "I wish I knew what was going on with me and Jacob …" she admits to him as she grabs Shane's hand. "But I can hug you anytime. I've missed you. Please just know that this entire fall has just thrown my life upside down. I hate that I can't remember and I hate…"

"What Natasha?" he asks her as he notices that she's crying.

"Nothing," she says through her tears, still not able to tell him about her miscarriage. "Just hold me Shane," she says to him as he pulls her into a hug. "And please, never let me go."
