-Marlena sits at home and is looking through the family album. She gently turns the page to look at more pictures and focuses on a picture of Roman and herself with Sami and Eric. She wipes the tears from her eyes as she hears a door shut behind her. She turns and is stunned by what she sees.

-At Bo and Hope's house, Bo has takes his tie off and sits on the couch with Hope.

Hope: It's been such a long hard day.

Bo: You can say that again. I just hope the family can get through it.

Hope: Me too. We're strong, though. I just hope Roman doesn't go off and do something stupid. Marlena and him have enough to deal with.

Bo: Well, we will all just have to help them both out. I promised I would be there for my family from now on and I meant it. I will do whatever I can to get us all through this.

Hope: I know. And there's Chelsea. My God, Bo. If Stefano interfered and is sending her to some seedy psychiatric hospital, there is no telling what will...

Bo (puts his arm around Hope): Abe is looking into it and will see what he can find out about the hospital. I also have some men looking into what made the DA and Judge Fitzpatrick push this.

Hope: I just hope we can help her.

Bo: Boy, I remember the days when you two hated each other.

Hope: We've both come a long way. All of us as a whole have.

Bo: Yeah. I know I would've never gotten this far without you, Fancy Face.

Hope: Same here, Brady. That's what it's about, though. Through sickness and health, only to be parted through death. We both signed on for that and I meant it. That is why all those months you were a lost soul...I never gave up on you. I will always be there to fight for you...to fight for us.

Bo: I know and that's why I love you so much. Without you....I shudder to think. I love you, Fancy Face.

Hope: I love you too, Brady.

Bo and Hope kiss and embrace.

Hope: You know, it's been awhile since we sat at home and just cozied up like this.

Bo: Yep. First time in years, I think. It's also been awhile since...well, you know...

Hope: JT is asleep, you know?

Bo (smiling): I do...so, what are you getting at?

Hope (smiling): Oh, come on. You know...you just put us on the topic...

Bo: Ok, maybe I do. I as just waiting for you to ask.

Hope passionately kisses Bo repeatedly.

Hope: Let's just go upstairs and stop all the mind games.

Bo: Hmm...sounds like a plan.

Bo and Hope continue to passionately kiss as he picks her up and carries her upstairs.

-At Steve and Kayla's Salem Inn Suite, they are both cozied up to each other on the couch.

Kayla: It's so nice to finally have a chance to just sit, relax, and hold each other.

Steve: Yep. We've only waited 17 years.

Kayla: Ha ha. It was so nice of Stephanie to stay at the Pub.

Steve: That's my little Sweetness. Trying to give her mommy and daddy some alone time.

Kayla (gets up and turns around): And what do you think we will be doing with this alone time?

Steve: Something we haven't done in 17 years?

Steve shows a devilish grin.

Kayla: Well, I guess it has been awhile.

Steve: And you weren't with another man. Damn, it's been awhile for you? I guess I should be flattered you think so much of the Patch man. I must be really good if you didn't seek action from elsewhere.

Kayla: Stroke your ego all you want but all that had more to do with me loving who you are and not what you are in the bedroom.

Steve: I guess I'll take it. Anyway....what are we doing?

Kayla grabs Steve and kisses him.

Kayla: Answer your question?

Steve: Alot more aggressive then you used to be.

Kayla: well, it has been a long time, as you so eloquently noted.

Steve: Well, then...let's not keep you waiting any longer, gorgeous. Let's fulfill those pent up desires of yours.

Kayla: Amen...

Steve and Kayla passionately kiss and, eventually get up, and make their way to the bedroom.

-Shane is with Kimberly in her room at the Salem Inn. He brings her some more tea.

Kim: You know, I have gotten quite used to this place. It's nice that I don't have to intrude on mom at the Pub.

Shane: I'm sure she would love having you around.

Kim: Yeah but I was never sure how long I would be staying in Salem. I never thought it would turn out to be 8 months.

Shane: Yeah. I never antipated staying a full year but...

Kim: Now you must go. Tomorrow...

Shane: I know we have to talk about this but I don't know...

Kim: If you can? Either do I. God, Shane. I think it was fate that brought us both back here. With everything you went through with the Carrie situation and with everything your still going through...and my situation with my family and what I did to Bo...

Shane: It's all in the past. Your family and Bo forgave you.

Kim: Yeah but I still feel horrible. Always will. Not to mention, it was a rough go of it for me and my family for months. We got through it but I, personally, could've never got through it without you. You were my rock. You always were.

Shane: We go back a long ways.

Kim: Sure do and, like I said, this happened for a reason. It brought us back together. I know I moved in with you in London but what we went through here...it bonded us.

Shane: The bond was always there, Kim. We just got out of touch with it and each other along the way.

Kim: And now it's all clicked again. The feelings, the emotions...

Shane: Wait, Kim...what are you saying? This talk of feelings and...

Kim: You know what I am saying, Shane. Your leaving tomorrow and I am not going to beat around the bush and make this some long, drawn out confession. We both know what's happening here. We both have known and felt it for some time. We're still in love.

Shane: You certainly don't beat around the bush, do you?

Kim: We have always loved each other, Shane. We always will. That's why our other relationships never worked. That's why we found ourselves drawn back together in this past year.

Shane: Your right...I do still love you. I never stopped. I just didn't want to make things uncomfortable with you and the kids and all.

Kim: Same here but we can't hide it anymore. We both know it's there between us and can't ignore it.

Shane: So, what now? I'm leaving tomorrow.

Kim: I know.

Shane: It's too bad we didn't realize sooner or...

Kim: Well, such is life. There is one thing we can do.

Shane: And that is?

Kim: I could come with you. Yeah...I am going back to London with you. I mean, I was loving with you and the kids before so I should go back with you. What's left for me here? It's time to go back.

Shane: That may be true but I have ISA issues to deal with and...

Kim: Yeah, yeah, yeah...bend down and get near my face so you can hear me.

Shane: What?

Kim: Just do it.

Shane bends down to Kim's wheelchair and gets close to hear her. She then grabs his face and kisses him.

Kim: Can't argue with that, can you?

Shane: Uh...

Kim kisses Shane again and passion ignites. Shane then pulls away.

Shane: What are we doing?

Kim: Just go with it. Don't fight it. We both said we wouldn't fight it anymore.

Shane: But...your...

Kim: Wheelchair...paralysis...if you think that is going to stop me, allow me to prove you wrong.

Kim kisses Shane again and this time there is no stopped.

Kim: Take me, Shane. I love you...I love you so much!

Shane: I love you too. Are you sure?

Kim: Yeah. It's been far too long. It's...our destiny

Shane then picks Kim out of her wheelchair and takes her into the bedroom as they continue to kiss passionately.

-Back at Roman and Marlena's, Roman puts his holsters and guns on the table.

Marlena: I wasn't expecting you to come home tonight. The way you left...

Roman: I don't like how we left things. I went out there and I couldn't stop thinking about the fight we had. We've been doing alot of that lately and it's wrong, especially today. We just buried...(Roman becomes overcome with emotion)

Marlena: Our sweet, beautiful twins. I know.

Roman (with tears in his eyes): I just want to avenge them. I just want...

Marlena: Enough of that. Look at me. You just need to let it all out. You are trying to be strong and keep everything insider. You can keep internalizing, Roman. This whole quest for revenge is your cover for all the hurt you feel. All that pain and agony...just sit here with me. Let me and the family help you. If not them, just me. You need to just let it out. We can cry together. One emotional breakdown like you had with me last night is not enough. Talk to me, cry with me, mourn with me...just don't back away from the family...from me. Not now. My God, not now.

Roman (crying): I'm so sorry, doc!!! I'm so sorry! God, our children! Our Eric! Our Sami! Damnit, doc!! Why them both?! Why? Damnit...why?!

Marlena embraces Roman and comforts him in her arms as she begins to cry.

Marlena: I don't know. I just don't know.

Roman: Your right, doc. I do need you. I can't...get through this without you. The hurt...my God.

Marlena: I know...and I need you. Let's be there for each other, like we should be.

Roman: I need you more then ever, doc. I need your touch...your arms around me...I just need you.

Roman and Marlena hold each other in each other's arms as they both cry for their children. They then pull away from each other and look into each other's eyes.

Roman: Doc, I need to...

Marlena: I know. It's been so long.

Roman: I need to feel close to you. I just...

Marlena (moving in close to Roman): I know. I know...

Marlena then continues to slowly move in and kisses Roman. They continue to kiss passionately as one thing leads to another and he picks her up and takes her upstairs to their room.

The scene then shifts to Alice, who is in the Horton living room, looking into her photo album. She turns to the next page that has pictures of Bo and Hope, Roman and Marlena, Kim and Shane, Steve and Kayla, and even Jack and Jennifer. She looks at the page as her eyes fill with tears.

Alice: On days like this, the memories are so comforting. So much pain in Salem... (looking up to the heavens) Tom, you and all of our beloved up there need to look after all of us. Roman, Marlena, the rest of the Brady clan, all of us...we all can use all the help we can get. Now more then ever.

Alice puts her hand on Jack and Jennifer's wedding picture.

Alice: Such a beautiful day. Watch over your children and your Jack, Jennifer Rose. Wow...so many memories...all of these beautiful couples...my have some things changed yet, in many ways, they have also stayed the same. Faith, hope, love, destiny...simple. That's all it is and all it ever takes.

A supercouple montage then plays=SUPERCOUPLE MONTAGE-CLICK HERE!!!.

As the montage ends, we see the scene shift between Bo and Hope, Roman and Marlena, Steve and Kayla, and Kim and Shane all making love. The scene then shifts to Alice, as she closes her photo album and says:

Alice: Love, magic, destiny...you just have to believe.

Alice then looks up to the heavens.

Alice: Right, my Tom?

Alice then smiles as she turns and looks at a picture of Tom and herself that is on her coffee table next to her as the scene freezes on the picture of her and Tom and then fades to black.
