Luke's Club....late. Mac was at the bar, drunk. He had been drinking everyday since Maxie had shot herself at Felicia's memorial service. Friends and family had been by to visit everyday and he had been drunk every time. Even Robert was concerned. Bobbie had stopped by one afternoon to see how he was and he was passed out. Robin came by to check on him and bring him breakfast. It was nine am and he was already drinking. Everyone was worried for him.

Luke went over and sits down next to Mac. "Hey Mac. I think you have had enough. Let me get you a ride home. You need to ease up on the liquor."

Mac looks at Luke scornfully, " Luke give it up. I came to a realization in the last few days. Maxie was right. I let her down in so many ways and now she is gone. I was a worse father to her than Frisco ever was. I couldn't control her. I couldn't see what was in front of me. I made her do the things that she did. All of this happening is my fault."

"You know that isn't true Mac." Luke said softly, "Maxie was very troubled and she hid it well."

"Spare me the platitudes Luke. They are beneath you." Mac spit out angrily, "Now I would appreciate it if you got me another drink. It's a bar, it's why I am here. To drink my troubles away."

Luke looks over his shoulder and beckons to Laura, who is eating dinner with Bobbie. Laura comes over, "Hi Mac. How are you tonight? What's going on?"

"Let's see, my wife is dead and my daughter is too. Not too good." Mac replied sarcastically.

"Mac, I think you need to go home. You have had a lot to drink." Laura said soothingly.

Mac laughs, "It dulls the pain."

"It won't bring Felicia or Maxie back." Laura said. "You have to know that."

Mac turned to her, "Let me ask you this Laura, what would you do if you lost Luke in a tragic accident and one of your kids killed themselves at his memorial service? How would you react?"

Laura looked at him sadly and replied, "Mac, I am like you. I have other children. You have Georgie that you have raised and Robin also. I would be strong for them. They need you. You are the parent. You cannot keep drowning your sorrows like this".

"Spare me the politically correct answer. Now Luke, are you going to get me another drink or what?" Mac said, turning his back on Luke and Laura.

Luke walks over to Bobbie and sits down, "Barbara Jean, how is my favorite sister tonight?" He grabs a french fry and pops it in his mouth, "I have a favor to ask."

"You want me to drive Mac home." Bobbie said.

"Look at him. He's a wreck. Plus you both have a lot in common so I thought it would be nice. You lost BJ and he lost Maxie and you both love Flea."

Bobbie stood up and grabbed her purse. "Luke are you going soft on me?"

Luke smiled devilishly, "Never!"

Metro Court...late

Alexis and Sonny were dining together with Kristina and Molly and discussing her case for custody of Molly. She wanted to take Ric down for all he had down to her and to Sam. Sonny just wanted to do it because, well he was Sonny. "Alexis, I said it was going to work, it will work. Trust me."

"You know I hate it when you say trust me." Alexis said, looking over at Molly and helping her with her food, "That's like asking the devil if it's warm in hell."

"Mommy what's hell." Kristina inquired.

Sonny looked at Kristina and answered, "It's a place in the middle of the Earth where it's really hot and you don't ever want to go there."

"Sonny!"

"What?" Sonny smiled, "Come on Alexis, you know I want you to have custody of Molly. No way should Ric even have any type of access to her. He is not a fit parent. I have done many things wrong, but I know how to parent. Ric doesn't. He's selfish and greedy and evil. Look what he did to you when you were having chemo and tried to get custody. That's just wrong."

Alexis took a bite of her salad, "Sonny you get no argument from me, I agree with you. Everyone is going along with this?"

"Alexis you are well liked and I called in a couple favors. Carly is all over it, as is Jax. Carly wants revenge against him and will do anything to get it. I hated asking Jax for help but he is one of your best friends. You know Ric is watching your every move. I said I would do the dirty work. I even contacted Elizabeth." Sonny took a bite of his lasagna. "You know Alexis, my lasagna is better. Much better. I should tell Carly."

"Of course it is Sonny," Alexis said condesceningly, "But Elizabeth? I will believe it when I see it. She has always had a soft spot for you."

"You should believe me more Alexis." Sonny turned to Kristina as Carly walked by and headed towards the bar, "Kristina, Daddy loves you." Sonny stood up and kissed Kristina, "Alexis, I will see you later. Trust me!"

Carly stopped at the bar and asked for a drink. "Have you seen Jax tonight?" She asked the bartender. When he shook his head she surveryed the crowd. Inwardly she groaned when she saw that Robin and Brenda were across the room from Alexis and Sonny. Of course, Sonny was facing Brenda. Jealousy rose in Carly and she was growing irritated. She had a feeling that Brenda was back in town to either take Jax away from her or get Sonny once and for all. Carly didn't want Sonny, but she didn't want Brenda to have him either. Plus, Carly was not convinced that Sonny or Jax was the father of Brenda's baby. She glanced over at their table again. She would kill to be able to hear their conversation.

"So Robin, how are things going? Tell me what's going on." Brenda asked, concerned.

"Well Uncle Mac is a wreck and I don't think my father is helping much. Everything about that house reminds him of Felicia and Maxie." Robin sighed and took a sip of her margarita. "Plus he also thinks he's a failure as a father. I just don't know what to do. I don't know what to tell him. I tell him all the time he did a great job with me and then he tells me that he's not because if he was a good father, I never would have gotten involved with Stone and have HIV.""

"Oh God Robin, that's awful. He is just being irrational. The only thing you can do is just listen to him when he needs you. Are you staying at the house?" Brenda counseled.

Robin shook her head, "Not anymore. I was for a while, but he finally told me to go home. Patrick agreed with him. Patrick has been wonderful through all of this, completely supportive of my needs."

Brenda sipped her margarita, "I wish he wasn't on call tonight so he could have come out with us. He's a nice guy, totally perfect for you. It is nice to get out." Brenda looked up, "Oh Robin, Sonny is here and he is staring."

Robin laughed, "That's funny because Carly is at the bar and she is watching him watch you I guess. She is so jealous."

Brenda laughed, "She hates us and I don't care. I have no idea what Jax sees in her. I can see what Sonny did, but not Jax. She still thinks that Jax is the father of James. Of course I won't give her a straight answer either. Can you imagine if I hooked up with Sonny again? She would have a heart attack." Brenda said cattily.

"You aren't thinking..."

"Nope, not going to happen. He's tried to see me a couple times and we have talked. He is so out of my system." Brenda stated firmly.

"Brenda, has there been anyone since" Robin stopped abruptly, "Hi Sonny. How are you?"

Brenda whipped around in her chair, "Hi Sonny want to join us?" Brenda asked wickedly.

Sonny pulled up a chair, "I think I will."
