“You know I just can’t believe who crass Eden was.” Lucy sighed, “But at least she’s out of your life more or less.”
Harley shook her head, “You know I really don’t care. Eden has been nothing but trouble since she got to Springfield, having her gone is a blessing!”
“I have to admit I thought you would be fuming mad. Her not wanting you to come to Chicago with Gus, you’re taking it very well sister dear. I’m proud of you.” Lucy smiled.
“Now…this is a sight!” Buzz sat a pot of coffee down, “How are my two favorite girls doing today?”
Lucy reached up and kissed her father on the cheek, “Daddy!” She smiled, “What are you doing serving coffee?”
“Madison told me there were two beautiful blondes out here.” Buzz laughed, “And I just took a shot in the dark, hoped it was my girls. It does this old man good to see the two of you together like this, you know.”
“You’re not old, stop saying that.” Harley lectured.
“Just keep telling me that okay honey.” Buzz kissed the top of Harley’s head, “I’ve got to get back to the kitchen, in the meantime why don’t you convince your sister to stay a while longer.”
“Daddy…” Lucy warned as he quickly walked away leaving them alone, “So he’s really doing okay? Regular check-ups, keeping the stress minimal all of those things?”
“He tries. Believe it or not but it’s Marina who keeps him in line most of the time.”
“I believe it.” They both laughed, “Oh.” Lucy sighed, “You know Daddy may get his wish after all.”

“Hi Dad.” Marah took a seat at a table near the windows of Towers. “How are you?”
“Good. I have to admit I was surprised that you called this morning.”
“I don’t any problems against you.” She revealed.
“Not what you said when you left.”
“I know what I said and I’m sorry. Mother was right you’ve been very good to Shayne and I.” Marah smiled, “Can you forgive me?”
Josh opened his menu, “Let’s just order lunch.”

Blake walked across the living room of the Carriage House in her light pink bathrobe and pulled open the door for Cassie. “Come in.”
“Are you sick?” Cassie asked and Blake shook her head no, “Then why are you still wearing your robe in the middle of the afternoon?”

And Now "The Guiding Light"

“You’re going to be staying longer?”
She shook her head, “Yeah, because you will never guess what my husband did?”
“No what?”
“He sold our flat in Europe. Right out from under my nose, without consulting me. He told me last night and he also told me that we’re probably going to be staying in Springfield, indefinitely.”
“I just can’t believe Alan-Michael would do something like that. That’s a play right out of Alan’s book, Phillip even, but not Alan-Michael.” She paused and thought back to her time with him, “What did you say?”
“Nothing, I told him he and Alan could go to hell and then I stormed out. Went and stayed with Frank and Marina.”
**********
Blake shrugged her shoulders, “Beats me. After I got the kids off to school this morning I just didn’t feel like getting dressed.”
“So things didn’t go well last night?” Cassie asked, “Oh my God, are Ross and Holly really having an affair?”
Blake shook her head again. “My mother was helping Ross get his position back at Springfield University and for some reason it was this big secret.”
“You’re kidding? That’s all that was going on?” Cassie was in shook, “Why didn’t Ross just tell you that?”
“I don’t know and even he doesn’t know.” Blake answered. She shook her head, “I just don’t know what to do Cassie. On the one hand he wasn’t cheating on me but then again on the other he kept something about his life, something important from me, that’s huge.”
“But you have to pick your battles Blake.” She said in a supporting tone, “Life is short, I know that better than anyone. So I think you should forgive Ross and move on to the next chapter, whatever that might be.”
Blake shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, “I love him, so much. That is not the problem, it’s never been the problem. First it was Tory and now he’s kept this from me. I just don’t know what to do Cassie, I just don’t know!”

“Oh Lucy…I’m so sorry.”
Tears swelled in her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away, “I guess we should just be glad that you’re finally away from that controlling and manipulative family.”
Harley rolled her eyes.
“Still not getting along with Vera?
“No as a matter of fact. Plus, there’s more to it than that.” Harley leaned in closer to Lucy, “Vera is hiding something. What it is, I don’t know but I intend to find out what.”
“Something tells you will too.” Lucy looked at her watch, “You better get going.”
Harley glanced down, “Damn.”
“Wait…what do I do about Alan-Michael?”
“Hit him where it hurts. Fight power with power. I got to run, love you.”
“Love you too.” Lucy replied as a smile wipes across her face and the wheels in her head began spinning even faster.

“Then stop acting like a child! I didn’t raise you to be some spoiled, little know at all girl. You’re acting like your mother wished Tony had died, but that is not the case, but you know it.”
“So I’m guessing that you’re not going to help me? You’re going to turn your back on me just like Reva done all those years ago.”
“You just don’t get it do you?” Josh shook his head, “No I’m not going to help you. You’re living with Danny and he has no problem in forgiving your mother, doesn’t hold her responsible yet you do.”
“Thanks Daddy.” Marah mocked as she stood to leave, but Josh grabbed her arm, “Let go of me.”
“If you want my help then you’ll work at Lewis, just like Bill did. We’ll put you in an office and you start tomorrow.”
She shook her head, “I don’t think so.” She jerked loose from his grip, “Thanks so much Daddy!”

[The role of Michelle Bauer Santos will now be played by Bethany Joy Galeotti.]
Michelle held her cell phone on her shoulder and walked down the backstairs of the Bauer house, “Danny….Danny listen to me, I’m on my way. Yes tell Robbie I’ll be right there.” She closed her phone and dropped her purse on the table with a thug.
“Hey there.” Rick came through the backdoor, “You look like you’re in a hurry.”
“Robbie has a doctor’s appointment in about five minutes and I still have to go pick him up from Danny’s.” Michelle explained.
“Why doesn’t Danny just take him?” Rick asked.
“You know that would be the logical thing to do, but I’m soon learning post-divorce that Danny isn’t logical.”
“Been telling you that for years Michelle.” Rick replied taking a bite out of an apple. “You better hurry up.”
She grabbed her purse from the table, her keys from the by the door, raced across the kitchen and kissed Rick on the cheek, “Mel told me to remind you that Valentine’s Day was quickly approaching. I don’t think she wants you to forget again.”
“It was one time.” He defended. “Be careful.”
“Bye!”
Rick grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator and went over to the kitchen table with it and the apple. After he took a drink he went to screw the lid back on but it feel to the floor. He bent over to pick up but what he found was something totally unexpected.
“Prenatal vitamins?” He asked himself knowing they could only belong to Mel or Michelle. “M. Bauer.” Rick read as he slowly shook his head, “Mel…”

A light snow dusted the streets of Washington D.C. as a roaring fire was going in a town house just east of the capitol building. A middle age woman sat at her desk in a study down the hall and heard the phone ringing, “Judith would you answer that please.”
“Hello.” The housekeeper answered, “May I ask who’s calling?” She laid the phone on the table and went into the study.
“Ma’am you have a telephone call, a Mrs. Lucy Spaulding.”
“Thank you.” The woman replied and picked up the phone close to her desk, “Lucy, its Hope. How are you?”
