Here's how we'll really know:

If Belle gives birth and the baby comes out whining like a drunken valley girl at the bar's last call, it's a Shimi baby.

If Mimi gives birth and the baby comes out crying "Shawn, I love you, dump Mimi!" it's a Shelle baby. Or, the baby comes out bragging how it was on The Real World, it's a Phelle baby.

LMAO Bree.

Oh and I am surprised no one mentioned what a bitch Chelsea was to Max today. I so hope we get a Maby pairing now .

This is so crazy. My favorite part about today's show was when Kate pretened to be Lexie's voice mail!

#1 petrie dish containing Belle's egg, labelled Kirkiakis waiting for Kirkiakis sperm.

#2 petrie dish containing Mimi's egg labelled Brady waiting for Brady sperm.

"God" black glove moves Kirkiakis labelled top over to Brady egg.

"God" black glove moves Brady labelled top over to Kirkiakis egg.

Tech comes in and puts Kirkiakis sperm with Brady egg (Mimi...Phil)

Tech puts Brady sperm with Kirkiakis egg (Belle... Shawn)

Results:

Mimi will if possible have a Kirkiakis baby.

Belle will if possible have a Brady baby.

Unless, "God" gloved hand, switches the tops back before implantation. If that happens then it will be:

Mimi will have a Belle and Shawn baby.

Belle will have a Mimi and Philip baby.

I think you've got it right up until the end. IF the lids are switched AGAIN after fertilization and before implantation it would go like this........

Belle egg > switched to Mimi Label > Shawn sperm added > Shelle baby > switched back to Belle label> Belle implantation with Shelle baby

Mimi egg > switched to Belle label > Phil sperm added > Phimi baby > switched back to Mimi label > Surrogate/Mimi implantation with Phimi baby

If they do NOT get switched again after fertilization it will go like this......

Belle egg > switched to Mimi label > Shawn sperm added > Shelle baby > implanted in Mimi/surrogate

Mimi egg > switched to Belle label > Phil sperm added > Phimi baby > implanted in Belle

This is tooooooooooooooo confusing! LOL

There won't be two Shelle children, not even one.

I'm trusting this storyline will be wrapped up soon. Mimi will finally blurt out about Claire, a DNA test will be done, and Philip will be the father.

As for the IVF, I'm hoping that goes away too. No one in this quad should be stuck with a child now. It's uncertain if Jason Cook is staying, so making Claire Philip's is the right thing to do.

Too confusing. Stupid.

Sorry, there is no need for a DNA test, Claire is Shawn's.

1) Phillip is not a match to give Bone marrow and blood transfusions to Claire, BUT Shawn is.

2) Zach's organ was a PERFECT match to Claire (Zach and Shawn are whole brothers)

3) Zach after his death appeared to Belle and Shawn and told them that THEY belonged together because Claire need to be with her mother & father. However those two were two dense to pick up the hint.

4) Caroline told Belle that she thought it was strange that Claire looked JUST like Shawn did as a baby.

Too confusing. Stupid.

Agreed. Reminds me of a Strangers with Candy episode title, Retardation: A Celebration.

Somebody missed my post. We're totally getting Max/Abby. I mean, how obvious was Abby? She's more hot for Chelsea to be with him than Chelsea is. Notice how Josh has disappeared. Can you say writing on the wall?

As much as I would love for MABBY to be an official couple, I'm thinking Max is gonna be getting another incest vibe when Stephanie returns to Salem. For some reason, the writers will just not give Max and Abby a chance. It's right there in their faces! Every fan wants it. Whatever, I'll never understand.

What is Stephanie's profession? Have they told us yet?

I like Chelsea and Max together. He fell in love with her the minute he laid eyes on her and I see him as a one woman man and he will go through hell and high water to win her. Chelsea is being stupid and I hate how the writers are playing her as stupid. She was created to be brilliant and self-reliant and definitely not a fool. Now is she is being written foolish. I hate that. Abby is too young for Max and he most likely sees her as a friend and a kid. Stephanie will be interesting to him naturally. She's right down his alley, but if the writers keep him in character, he only has Chelsea in his heart.

Have you seen the promo with Stephanie in it? WOWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEE, what a gorgeous girl or young woman rather.

See, my problem with the whole thing is, she is his niece! It's the biggest thing in families that blood means nothing, so for all intents and purposes, Chelsea should have pushed him WAY away when she learned she was Bo's daughter. And if the writers keep with Max being intrigued by Stephanie, yet another freakin' niece, my anger will know NO bounds. The show has made leaps and bounds of improvement, but how can anyone believe in family values with this show with this going on? Belle and Shawn are another example, especially if they ever made John truly Roman again. John's still considered a Brady. They were fools to ever go down the road of Belle/Shawn because of that.

My prediction is that Max and Stephanie will begin to get interested in each other. Chelsea realizes she does want Max, so she'll try to break the two up. It's pretty gross if the writers go down that path, because you'll have two nieces fighting over their adopted uncle.

That stuff is better suited for a VC Andrews book.

Ugh this incest angle has got to go. I want MABY DAMNIT!!!

Sorry Kieth-it was late and I was sleepy so I missed your post about it .

It's not really incest, people.

I got over the Foster Sibling angle years ago with Tony/Kristen.
