ERICA: We are going to talk anyways.

JACKSON: You kissed another man, because I wouldn't take you back.

RYAN AND GREENLEE'S:

Ryan hugs Greenlee.

RYAN: Are you okay? Is the baby okay?

GREENLEE: We are perfectly fine.

RYAN: Then, what is it.

GREENLEE: Ryan, we found out that Annie is here. She is out of the hospital. It is Emma's birthday. She knows that, of course. I just think that she might come here. Don't you?

RYAN: It is a possiblity. Annie wouldn't risk coming here though. Anyways, on the other hand, what does this have to do with our baby? You can tell me anything.

GREENLEE: I know that. (Sighs) Ryan..., if she comes here, I think bad things will happen where this baby is concerned. I mean, she is crazy. I wouldn't put it past her.

RYAN: If it makes you feel better, I will watch for her.

GREENLEE: Okay.

RYAN: Now, let's finish our breakfast, so we can get the decorations hung.

JACKSON: You bounce from man to man.

ERICA: That is not true.

JACKSON: (Laughs)

ERICA: What?

JACKSON: Never mind. You know what I mean.

ERICA: Jackson, you don't get it. I was honest with you! I still love you.

JACKSON: I'm not sure that is possible.

ERICA: Will we ever be the same?

JACKSON: I don't think so.

Jackson stands.

JACKSON: Goodbye Erica.

Erica stands.

ERICA: Jackson! You can't just walk away from me!

Everyone is stunned.

THEN... ERICA STARTS FLASHING BACK:

ERICA: Not again.

Erica is short of breath, then she faints. Jackson rushes to her.
