I hope Bo tells Ciara the truth.

I'm glad Claire and JJ are becoming friends.

Will there be previews André DiMera?

[mae00]

Loved Bo & Ciara. She's not nearly as annoying and whiney as TV Ciara.

Poor Finn.

[André DiMera]

Okay, guys. I am intending on doing my story next week, but here's the thing: on Monday, I've got jury duty. Now, of course, I can never be sure if it's gonna last just Monday, or into the rest of the week. There's just no way of telling. I will post previews, but sadly, we may not get to see all of this next week. It just depends on what happens on Monday. I'm really glad you guys are enjoying this story, it's one I've been wanting to tell for a while now. And now, here are the previews.

Next week...

This week, Bo calls a family meeting.
HOPE: We need to sit down and talk...all three of us.
BO: There's more than just three of us, Fancy Face.

But will everything go according to plan?
BO: How was I supposed to know?

Plus, news of Dr. Fonn's murder spreads through Salem.
DANIEL: My god.

All this and more next time on FIGHTING FOR LOVE.

[fluffysmom]

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

I hope jury duty doesn't last all week. It's really boring sitting around all day waiting to see if they call you.

Chapter 14

HORTON TOWN SQUARE
BO: You're right. You're right. You're not a little kid anymore. And, you deserve to know what happened.
CIARA: So, tell me.
Bo took a deep breath.
BO: I was gonna wait until your mom was ready to talk about this, but now's as good a time as any.
CIARA: Just spit it out, dad. What happened?
BO: When I left, I was only gonna be gone maybe a little less than a month. That's it. The whole reason I left is because your grandfather, Victor, found a drug that could help your Grandma Caroline with her memory. It was still in the testing stages back then, but the doctor working on it was fairly sure it could prevent further memory loss, and maybe even help her regain some of the memory she'd lost.
CIARA: That's it? You were gone for three years for some medicine for Grandma?
Bo shook his head.
BO: It's not that simple. You see, I wasn't the only one who was after this medicine.
CIARA: Who else was?
BO: The DiMera's.
CIARA: Why would the DiMera's want a memory drug?
BO: Who knows? But, they did. Just as I had found the cure, and gotten in touch with Dr. Salinas, the guy who is treating your grandma, one of Stefano's goons got me.
Bo's phone rang.
CIARA: You gonna get that?
Bo looked at his phone.
BO: I probably should.
He answered the phone.
BO: Hey, Fancy Face.
Pause.
BO: Yeah, I'm with Ciara right now. We're at the Town Square.

BRADY HOUSE
HOPE: Good. I'm glad to hear it. Listen, Bo, we need to have a talk.
Pause.
HOPE: Many things. More than you can imagine. And, it's important that we all sit down and discuss this. All three of us.

HORTON TOWN SQUARE
BO: I agree with you there, Fancy Face, but there's more than just three of us that this affects.
Pause.
BO: Well, there is, of course, the obvious: you, me and Aiden. But, there's also Ciara, Shawn and Chase.

HORTON TOWN SQUARE/BRADY HOUSE (side-by-side shot)
HOPE: Bo, do you really want to involve the kids in this?
BO: No, but they're gonna be involved anyway. I don't know if Chase is anything like Ciara, but there's no way she's not gonna be affected by this.
HOPE; I know. Maybe you're right. How about tomorrow?
BO: Tomorrow's good. It's the weekend, so the kids don't have school.

BRADY HOUSE
HOPE: Sounds good. See you tomorrow. Bye.
Hope hung up the phone. Just as she did, there was a knock at the door. Hope answered it, to find Chelsea on the other end.
HOPE: Chelsea...
CHELSEA: Where's my dad?

[heroicmuse]

OMG CHELSEA IS BACK!!!! (YOu have no idea how happy that makes me.)

I'm glad to see Bo being as reasonable as he can be under the circumstances. I'm also glad that his disappearance was ALL about the drug and not because he got distracted by a side adventure. I hope that Hope and Ciara get on him about the fact that he never told them what he was doing before he disappeared.

[mae00]

Chelsea?!?!?!?!?!? I was sooo aggravated that the show didn't bring her back for Bo's death, even if she wasn't one of my favorites. She could have made a 2 day appearance like Melanie did for Daniel's. Thanks for remembering her Andre!

[Kpatch]

Chelsea! The plot thickens. It's good that the families are going to talk honestly.

[fluffysmom]

I'm glad that Chelsea is back.

[André DiMera]

Chapter 15

BRADY HOME
HOPE: Come in.
Chelsea walked in. Hope closed the door.
HOPE: You look well.
CHELSEA: Thanks. So do you. Now, where's my dad? I heard he went AWOL a while ago, but that he's back now.
HOPE: How did you...?
CHELSEA: Shawn and I keep in fairly constant communication.
HOPE: I see. Well, hon, your father is currently with your sister in the Park. He should be bringing her back home sometime soon.
CHELSEA: Okay, good.
AIDEN (from off-screen): Detective Brady, you may want to come up here. You have a very naughty criminal to...
Aiden started coming down the stairs, but stopped as soon as he saw Chelsea.
AIDEN: ...question.
Chelsea promptly turned away, as very little was left to the imagination when Aiden came down the stairs.
AIDEN: Oh, my god.
Aiden quickly ran upstairs. Chelsea took a minute to recover.
HOPE: I...um...
CHELSEA: No, it's okay. You, um, you don't have to explain anything to me.
HOPE: It's just...he's my new husband.
CHELSEA: Right. Yeah, the lawyer. Shawn mentioned him.
HOPE: So...how's Max?
CHELSEA: He's good. But, um...right now, I think I'm just gonna let you deal with...whatever that situation was.
Chelsea headed for the door. Hope walked after her.
HOPE: Chelsea, you just got here.
CHELSEA: No, really, I should go. Trust me, it's absolutely fine.
HOPE: Where are you staying tonight?
CHELSEA: The Brady Pub. Max is with me, too.
HOPE: Wait. Before you go, there's something you should know. Your father and I, as well as Aiden, Ciara, Shawn, and Aiden's son, Chase, are going to be having a family meeting tomorrow afternoon. We have a lot of stuff to work out. Since you're part of the family, you should come. And, conveniently, it's going to be at the Brady Pub.
CHELSEA: Okay. Sure, I'll be there. But, uh...you might wanna get back to your...
HOPE: My husband.
CHELSEA: Yeah. See you tomorrow.
HOPE: Bye, Chels.
Chelsea walked out. Aiden walked down the stairs, now wearing pants and buttoning a shirt.
AIDEN: I wasn't expecting company this late.
HOPE: It's okay. She's left already.
AIDEN: Oh. I am so sorry about that.
HOPE: Hey, you didn't know. I didn't even know she was gonna show up.
AIDEN: So, who was that?
HOPE: That's Chelsea, Bo's daughter.
AIDEN: Ah, I see. So, I take it she'll be joining us, as well, tomorrow.
HOPE: I hope she does. I'm sure she has questions about where her father's been the last few years. We all do.
AIDEN: Hey, no matter what happens tomorrow, you should know that all I want is what is best for you.
HOPE: And that is part of why I love you, Mr. Jennings.
Hope and Aiden kissed.
HOPE: Now, let's go upstairs and see what we can do about that questioning.
AIDEN: I like the way you think, Detective.
Hope and Aiden kissed once more and headed up the stairs.

[heroicmuse]

OMG what an awkward scene! I loved every second of it!

Great chapter André DiMera. I hope we will get to see Max too!

[Kpatch]

This chapter cracked me up! OMG.

[fluffysmom]

That was definitely an awkward way for Chelsea and Aiden to meet.

Chapter 16

DANIEL'S APARTMENT
Daniel was just finishing getting dressed. Nicole had left a little while ago for work. Daniel's phone went off. He picked it up.
DANIEL: Dr. Jonas.
Pause.
DANIEL: Kayla, slow down.
Pause.
DANIEL: What?
Pause.
DANIEL: Oh my god! I'll be there as soon as I can!
Daniel hung up the phone, threw on his jacket and shoes, and ran out the door.

BRADY PUB
Hope, Aiden, Ciara and Chase walked in. Bo and Chelsea were already sitting at a table.
BO: Morning.
HOPE: Morning.
AIDEN: Morning.
BO: Chelsea, this is Aiden Jennings. Jennings, this is my daughter, Chelsea.
Aiden coughed.
AIDEN: We, um...
CHELSEA: We met yesterday. When I got into town, I went to the house to see if you were there, and I...met Aiden.
AIDEN: Yeah. Well, it's nice to see you again, Chelsea.
CHELSEA: Yeah. You too.
They smiled awkwardly at each other, then looked away quickly.
HOPE: You look like you're doing well.
BO: Thanks. So do you.
CIARA: It's good to see you again, Chels.
CHELSEA: You too, kid. And who's this handsome guy?
CHASE: Chase Jennings.
CIARA: He's Aiden's son. We're in the same grade.
CHELSEA: Very nice.
CIARA: So, where's Uncle Max?
CHELSEA: He went to go see Roman. He'll be back sometime this afternoon. Anyone seen Shawn and Belle?
BO: Not since yesterday. They'll be here, though.
As if on cue, Shawn-D, Belle and Claire walked in.
SHAWN-D: Morning, everybody.
CHELSEA: Hey, Shawn.
Chelsea stood up.
SHAWN-D: Chelsea! Hey!
Shawn-D and Chelsea hugged.
SHAWN-D: Good to see you!
CHELSEA: You too!
SHAWN-D: For those of you who may or may not recognize her, or haven't met her yet, this is our daughter, Claire.
CLAIRE: Hi, everyone.
BO: Claire. You've grown so much.
CLAIRE: Thanks, grandpa.
Shawn-D, Belle and Claire sat down.
SHAWN-D: You guys haven't started yet, have you?
HOPE: No, as a matter of fact, Aiden, the kids and I just got here.
BELLE: Great. So, what's going on?
BO: A lot. I'm sure you all have questions.
HOPE: Definitely.
BO: And, I have answers.
CIARA: Great. Let's hear them.

[heroicmuse]

I want to hear Bo's answers too.

LMAO at "For those of you who may not recognize her." SORASing does that to people, eh?

Great chapter André DiMera!
