Team Legacy Saga: Excerpts (Read 3,085 times)

[sevenna92]

Author's Note: Please note that these excerpts as written now are currently unfinished. When I have the time and whenever I can, I will make them into actual stories. As of right now, they are just excerpts but since I'd like to share them with you anyway, I'm gonna post them. 

Now before I start explaining what my series is about, let me just say one thing: please use constructive criticism. I like it very much if you can explain where I can improve and what you like about what I've written. I do not want anybody bashing or insulting me or my work for whatever reason. And please keep it civil. 

And also regarding my schedule, depending on my school schedule, ideally I write during the weekends, where I have more time because during weekdays I usually have to either study for an upcoming test or complete an assignment. But when I'm on vacation, (like Christmas break or summer vacation), I have more free time and therefore I might upload more frequently, like every weekday or so. Sometimes I might update every couple of weeks, depending how long I take to edit and revise my work. 

Anyways, here's the rundown: the Team Legacy Saga is an alternate universe series where all of the universes are connected together into a major junction universe and basically all of the animated and live actions characters live together in some sort of odd co-existence. The best way I can describe this universe is that it's like Kingdom Hearts EXCEPT it goes BEYOND Disney. Or if you've never heard of Kingdom Hearts, just think of the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". That should give you a really good idea of what my series entails. 

It chronicles the adventures of a intergalactic team called Team Legacy, (I called them that because it has members that spans multiple generations), and it is run by a British woman named Rhonda Petrie. Basically in Team Legacy: The Original Series, the series documents her adventures from the time she was a little girl all the way to her late teens. Her team started with just 20-something people and grew to well over 100. She also had to deal with a variety of villains, some of them more fiercer and dangerous than the last, and she gained some notorious arch enemies, (with Frollo & Jen Deson being among them). Right now Team Legacy: The Next Generation Saga, it continues her escapades starting from when she is in her early 30s.

So right now she's a full grown adult with well over 500 members. (I really don't have the exact number, but there's a bunch load of people in the team). And it also focuses on the majority of the older members and their offspring, (with many of them being major characters. And now Meryl Dumonde, Lee & Rod's daughter, is currently the leader of the team since Rhonda stepped down from the position along with her two spouses Lee & Rod. 

Also this current saga takes place about 15 years later after the original series. 

And also, before I forget, I will be only adding in my stories that prominently feature DOOL characters. Other characters from other movies/T.V. shows can also make appearances as long as DOOL characters are there too. 

Since I want to keep my post short, I will give a short rundown of the timeline of the Next Generation saga as succintly and concisely as I can in my next post before I begin my first excerpt. 

[sevenna92]

This is the first series of excerpts from the story, "Lee Dumonde, Madame Senator". Basically it's where Lee is elected as the State Senator of California and she starts up a rehabilitation program to help criminals and villains become better citizens of America.

But then she crosses paths with Theresa Donovan, Shane and Kim's wayward daughter who served a brief stint in prison for assisting Nick Fallon in the kidnapping of Marlena and Dr. Jumba Jookiba's daughter, Jessa. The two are at odds at first but then they begin a passionate and torrid affair and Lee puts her political career in jeopardy. But what she doesn't know that Theresa may not exactly have good intentions with her in mind... 

But as Theresa starts to fall madly in love with Lee, she becomes very conflicted and fights an internal war in her mind between succumbing to her ravenous desire for money and power and starting anew and embracing her new love for Lee. Will Theresa end up throwing everything she holds dear and fall prey to her old demons?

Almost all of the scenes I've written for this story will be featured here.

“Madame Senator?” a nasally, high pitched male voice chimed as a stocky and thinly built man with glasses and a white suit and red tie walked into the senatorial office. Lee then got up and walked over to meet her new assistant. “Leonard?”

“Ms. Dumonde, I know you’re really busy but you need to interview some potential candidates for the secretary position,” Leonard informed her briskly. “There is one candidate in particular I’d like for you to take a look at.”

“And who would that be?” Lee demanded as Leonard slammed down a thick folder onto her desk. Lee then picked it up and rifled through the hundreds and thousands of documents in her hands.

She then held up a document with an image of a young woman with dark red hair and an angular, delicate yet pronounced face. Lee examined the document for several minutes as she studied the information before her very carefully.

“Theresa Donovan…” she muttered softly.

“You know her, ma’am?” Leonard cocked an eyebrow.

“Know her?” Lee scoffed. “She was one of the Brady relatives that showed up at Marlena and Jumba’s disastrous wedding years ago along with her boy toy Brady Black, John’s son with the late Isabella Black. I’ve heard a lot of things about her from what her parents had told my adopted sister-in-law over the years. That girl is nothing but a thieving, lying, scheming, two faced witch.”

“Still, she did apply to be your secretary and you should give her the courtesy of an interview. If you don’t like her, you can simply not hire her,” Leonard proposed.

“You’re right about that. But I already have reasons for not liking her. She was the one who kidnapped Marlena’s preteen daughter not too long ago along with Nick Fallon. I still can’t believe she only got four months of jail and ten months of probation. Nick is the one who got at least five years in prison.”

“I understand, ma’am. But you should at least put your personal feelings aside and act in a professional manner,” Leonard remarked.

“I agree, darling. Perhaps her latest brush with the law may have finally convinced her to clean up her act and change her ways. I know that there is a possibility that may not happen but I believe anything is possible. In fact, I think she might actually be a perfect candidate for my newly established halfway housing program for rehabilitating villains and criminals and reintegrating them back into society. Think of her as a test subject.”

“But Madame Senator! You should really choose another viable candidate other than her! She has a very sordid history of prostitution, drug possession and abuse, theft, embezzlement and blackmail! Not to mention she actually went to prison for 6 months for attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is nothing short of a criminal!”

“Really? I’ve done worse, you know,” Lee shrugged.

“Yes, but you’ve changed. The People have voted for you to represent them because you’ve proven yourself worthy. Ms. Donovan hasn’t even done that yet. I am worried this project of yours may ultimately fail. I suggest you find a back up plan in case this doesn’t work out.”

“Don’t worry. I’m planning to hire at least a couple more people to be my secretaries and assistants. The only reason why I’m even giving her a job is just so she could be in the program. I’ll also find some other villains and criminals in town that could enroll into the program.”

“I’ve already informed the governor about the program and he seems to think it’s an excellent idea. The majority of the Senate has already voted on it although some people feel it is a horrible idea. I just pray that I will get adequate funding so I can actually run the program.”

“Do not worry, Senator Dumonde. Just worry about hiring members of your staff, especially Ms. Donovan, but be careful when you do work with her. She might still have tricks up her sleeve and she might take advantage of you.”

“Well, Miss Theresa is about to get a big surprise if she does try to screw with me. She will learn soon enough that I know a lot more tricks than she has in her own little finger and I am just as prepared to deal with her own mind games.”

[André DiMera]

I think it's interesting that Lee wants to use Theresa as a test subject. It'll be intriguing to see what Lee will be doing with Theresa if she is hired, as well as if Theresa has changed her ways. This story is good so far. I'll be interested to see where this goes.

[sevenna92]

The door opened as Leonard walked into the room briskly and nodded his head respectfully towards his employer. “Madame Senator Dumonde, Ms. Donovan is ready to see you now.”

He then walked out and held the door wide as a younger woman with big dark gray eyes and dark red hair entered the room.

She had a very slim yet shapely build and was dressed in a grey blazer with an open collar and a red ascot around her neck. She also had grey dress pants and huge broad shoulder pads.

Her hair was held up together in a small beehive. She also had several wrinkles on her face and bags under her eyes from years of drug and alcohol abuse. It was none other than Theresa Donovan.

“Good afternoon, Theresa,” Lee greeted her warmly as she got up and walked over to shake her hand.

Theresa then glared at Lee silently with a thin line as she balked.

“Took you long enough,” she retorted curtly as she walked over abruptly to her seat.

Lee then sighed as she returned to her desk and sat down in her chair.

“Can I get you anything to eat or drink? I have some Tootsie Rolls I can give you and of course there’s coffee that Leonard can fetch you.”

“I’d like a shot of whiskey and some cigarettes right about now,” Theresa griped with her arms folded to her chest.

“Absolutely not,” Lee chided the younger woman sternly. “I will not allow you to drink on the job and even though I can technically offer you a cigarette, you are not supposed to accept any from me.”

“Oh boo. You’re no fun,” Theresa rolled her eyes. “Let’s just get this over with already.”

“Of course,” Lee sighed as she turned to Theresa and grabbed a pencil and legal pad.

“Now when were you born?”

“September 3rd, 1990,” Theresa answered.

“Now where were you born?”

“Los Angeles, California.”

“Now when and where was your last place of employment?”

“I was working as a prostitute and stripper at a gentlemen’s club called Devon’s Garden House for at least about 5 to 10 months. The last time I even set foot in that place was perhaps maybe 6 months ago. It was a very crummy place. Too many men hitting on me and groping me everywhere and of course I had to deal with those snotty girls with bad plastic surgery. But it paid good money and I was able to support myself.”

“Sounds very interesting. So what is your full name again?”

“Theresa Jeannie Donovan. And FYI, don’t ever call me Jeannie. I hate that name. That’s why I changed it to Theresa years ago and I even had it legally changed,” Theresa answered.

“Oh, that’s right,” Lee chimed as she picked up the folder and began to read its contents. “Buddy told me once that your parents gave you that name. I remember now.”

“Yeah, just as long as you don’t get on my bad side, we should be fine,” Theresa grumbled. “But even then, I’m making no promises.”

[sevenna92]

“Sounds fair enough,” Lee nodded as she continued leafing through the papers . “Now one of the jobs that you held was at University Hospital in Salem. You were at what… Human Resources?”

“Yeah, it was the worst job of my life, courtesy of a certain woman named Ms. Jennifer Rose Horton. She thinks she’s so special just because her stupid grandfather Tom Horton built it himself.”

“That part is true and well I’m not too terribly fond of her myself to be honest. I find her too snobby and pretentious,” Lee acquiesced.

“Really?” Theresa cocked an eyebrow incredulously. “You seriously don’t like her?”

“Yep,” Lee replied. “And to be honest, I never liked her grandparents either. Especially sweet old Alice.”

“Interesting,” Theresa mumbled with a soft smile as her eyes twinkled. But then her face dropped into a frown again. “But the one person I hate possibly more than Jennifer is her little brat J.J. He made my life so miserable along with his two idiot friends. Also he was a drug junkie. That Jennifer is so obsessed with that stupid Dr. Dan that it is so disgusting. I mean, I don’t even know why she broke up with him and ran straight into Liam’s arms only to run back into him again.”

“She even has other staff members handle her problems for her. Dr. Dan is nothing but a stupid jerk who is always on my case and who even threatened to not only ship me back here but to also have the judge call my parents.”

“Enough. Now can you at least tell me what you can do for this office?” Lee raised her hand exasperatedly with her eyes narrowed.

“Well, when I was at Human Resources back at Salem’s University Hospital, I was in charge of fashioning the hospital ID badges for the employees. Before that I was Jennifer’s personal assistant.”

“All right then, Theresa,” Lee replied as she stood up in front of the table. “This interview’s finished.”

“What? You’re not going to hire me because of my snotty attitude and my overwhelming hatred for Jennifer and her ilk?” Theresa snapped.

“Actually I am, but only on one condition: you must enroll in my statewide rehabilitation program for repeat offenders, especially criminals and villains. If you are able to get into the program then you can come work for me. I will find some assignments for you to do.”

“First off, you can be my secretary. You are in charge of keeping track of all my meetings as well as all of my memos and other important documents. You are also to greet anybody that shows up to my office and be courteous to them. And also you must run any errand I may have for you. And in addition to you being secretary you must also be a janitor and clean up this entire building as well as the surrounding areas.”

“You can’t be serious! I have to be your janitor of all things?!” Theresa griped. “That sounds disgusting and degrading! I will not go running around picking up your junk while you sit on your butt and stuff yourself with Twinkies.”

“Well, if you don’t like my stipulations you can always walk out the door and I’ll find someone else to do my work,” Lee sneered with her voice tinged with indignation.

“All right, fine!” Theresa threw up her arms exasperatedly with an eye roll. “I’ll do your dirty work! I’ll do anything! Just please let me have a job! I don’t want to go back to Devon’s and sell myself out to these morons!”

“That’s more like it,” Lee smirked evilly as she sat down, took out a cigarette and lit up. She then exhaled heavily as the smoke left her lips.

Theresa then gawked at the older woman with confusion yet disbelief as Lee grabbed another cigarette and handed it to her.

She then lent her a lighter as Theresa lit up the cigarette and began to smoke.

“You must be awfully nervous today,” Lee said with a sympathetic smile.

“Of course I am. Why should that be a surprise, since you’re the one acting like a drill sergeant?” Theresa rolled her eyes with a scoff.

“I can be nice if you really want me to be, Theresa,” Lee informed her as she leaned over the table and grabbed her hand. “All you have to do is to obey my every command and order and make sure you do not get on my bad side. If you actually bother to do any work and make a good effort, your life will be a whole lot easier.”

“Yeah, whatever,” Theresa rolled her eyes as she took a drag of her cigarette. After a minute she noticed that Lee was holding her hand tenderly and pulled away, blushing.

Lee then continued smiling as she took another drag of her own cigarette and locked eyes with her younger counterpart.

Theresa and Lee stared at each other for a few minutes as Theresa’s breath caught in her throat and her heart pounded wildly in her chest.

The young redhead woman found herself lost in Lee’s innocent, soft brown eyes as her eyes were drawn to her gentle, sweet smile.

Lee then snapped her fingers and Theresa shook her head to wake herself from her reverie.

“Wake up, missy!” Lee snapped and Theresa folded her hands on her chest, remaining silent.

Lee then scoffed as she started pacing around.

“Now I have a list of things for you to do today. I would like for you to deliver a packet filled with information regarding the rehabilitation program to the governor. Then I would like for you to write down everything that happened at today’s Senate meeting on the computer and then I’d like for you to write up a report on any findings and suggestions for the next meeting.”

“I’d also like for you to run and get some coffee and Caesar salad along with some more cigarettes. In the meantime until I come back I’d like for you to go and clean up the bathroom areas and also the lobby room all the way to the fifth floor.”

“Great… more work?” Theresa groaned exasperatedly.

“Well, you need discipline and giving you work is the best way to do so. You are sorely lacking in morals, discipline and motivation. Plus you are a full grown adult. Act your age for God’s sake,” Lee retorted as she got up and grabbed her purse before she pulled out another folder and handed it to Theresa. She then walked towards the office door.

Theresa then watched Lee with a scowl as her eyes narrowed darkly. Her scowl then deepened as her face lit up with rage yet desperation. Her breathing became rapid and hollow and her body tensed up.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Theresa demanded angrily as she approached Lee and grabbed her arm.

“I’m going to a Senate meeting. And you’re not going to stop me. So get your hands off me,” Lee snarled as she pulled away from Theresa. She then headed out of the office as Theresa watched her leave. “Get to work.”

[sevenna92]

Theresa cursed to herself as the door slammed behind her and she flipped open the folder.

“Who does she think she is? Some high and mighty politician in the big city? She thinks that she’s too good for me? Well, I’m going to prove to her that I have what it takes to win her heart. I’ll use whatever I got to make her notice me.”

After she leafed through the papers for a few minutes, she closed it and placed it on Lee’s desk.

“But why do I feel so funny? What is it about her that makes my heart spin 360 degrees? I’ve only barely met the woman and already I can’t stop thinking about her. It’s not like I’ve been in a very long-term relationship with a woman, at least not in a long time.”

“I think Anne’s possibly the longest relationship I’ve ever had with a woman. I do miss her a lot and I haven’t called her in months. I wonder how she’s doing, so I think I’ll call her later. But I better call my dealer first because I’m in the mood for some coke.”

She then took out her cell phone and dialed a number before she held it to her ear.

“Hello?”

“Hey, you got that cocaine?” Theresa hissed.

“Yeah. I’ll be here on 5th Avenue,” the mysterious male voice said.

“I’ll be there in 45 minutes. Just need to go grab my car and get out of this dump.”

“Excellent. You won’t be disappointed.”

Theresa hung up and put her cell phone into her bag. She then took out a heavy cloak and threw it on herself. She then slipped on a pair of shades and took another drag of her cigarette. She grabbed the folder and slipped it into her bag before she bustled out of the office hastily.

Several minutes later, Theresa walked through a sidewalk near an intersection and saw a lone man dressed in a long dark coat with a buzz cut and shades. She then approached him and gazed at him coldly.

“Where’s the coke?” she snapped.

“Relax, woman. It’s here,” the man held up his hand as he dropped a medium sized bag of cocaine in her hand. Theresa then examined it for a few minutes before she stowed it away in her coat.

“Thank you for delivering this on such short notice,” she said.

“No problem. Now it’s gonna cost ya 200 bucks,” the man said.

Theresa then handed him a couple of crumbled $100 and turned to walk away.

“I’ll let you know when I can get some more, okay?” he hollered.

“Hey,” Theresa said as she turned back to face him. “When you do, I’d like to buy two bags from you instead of one. One for me and another for my little friend.”

“Suit yourself, ma’am,” the man shrugged as Theresa strolled back to her car. She then stepped inside the vehicle and ignited the engine. After the car roared to life it sped off into the street.

Theresa then returned to the senatorial office building and walked through the lobby. After she signed in and showed her ID to the front desk clerk, she sauntered over to the elevator.

She disappeared into the elevator and ascended into the second floor. After the elevator door opened, she got out and ran over straight to the office. She then rushed inside and closed the door shut, locking it.

Theresa then raced to the desk and took out the bag of cocaine. She then opened it and took out a layer of newspaper. She then grabbed a razor from her bag and spread out the cocaine all over the newspaper with the razor. After she cut it up, she leaned in and started snorting it up through her nose.

She gasped and breathed deeply as her nostrils flared and she exhaled. Theresa then wiped her nose as she continued snorting cocaine continuously. After about an hour, the cocaine was all gone and Theresa was shaking in tremors, sniffling repeatedly and wiping her nose.

Theresa grabbed a Kleenex out of the box and dumped all of the remaining residue off the table. She then grabbed the newspaper and threw it into the trash. Then once she dumped it in the trash she dashed towards the door and unlocked it. Theresa bolted out of the room as she dashed out of the office building.

Theresa then jumped into her car as she started up the engine and sped off wildly in the opposite direction of the street.

[sevenna92]

Hours later, Lee arrived back in her office as she walked over to her desk and sat down. She placed her chin on her hand as she sighed deeply and closed her eyes to sleep. Just as she did so Theresa barged into the office, stumbling and swaying in a clumsy manner. Her eyes were bloodshot red and wide and she had an insane, maniacal look on her face. She was giggling and cackling uncontrollably as Lee glared at her.

“Where have you been? You were supposed to have done my report two hours ago!” she screamed angrily.

“Screw you, lady. You really need to loosen up,” Theresa slurred as she stumbled over to Lee and slumped on her shoulder. She caressed her hair and her chin with a smile. “You are way too uptight.”

“I’m trying to be responsible and you’re not helping,” Lee snapped as she pulled away from Theresa in disgust. “You smell like alcohol and I think it’s time you headed home. I’m going to drop you off at the apartment and I may have to inform your parents about your drinking.”

“No! Please don’t tell my parents! Anything but that!” Theresa screamed as she grabbed her arm pleadingly.

“You need to get out of here. I’m going to have you suspended for a week until you learn your lesson about drinking on the job,” Lee said as she began to escort Theresa out of the office. Theresa then suddenly charged Lee into the wall and pinned her on her back.

“You are not going to tell my parents, you hear me? And you’re certainly not going to tell the judge either,” Theresa snarled viciously.

“Get your hands off me, woman,” Lee snarled back.

“Not if you swear not to tell my parents,” Theresa shot back.

“Let go of me!”

“No!”

“Get your hands off me or I will contact human resources that you are harassing and manhandling me!”

“Make me,” Theresa sneered.

Lee then suddenly struck Theresa hard across the face with a backhand, causing Theresa to break her grip on Lee. Theresa then stood back in horror as she held her cheek, not believing what just happened.

“Did you just hit me?” she stammered.

“Yes I did,” Lee answered. “I already gave you a fair warning.”

“I’m going to tell the governor that you hit me,” Theresa hissed indignantly.

“You wouldn’t dare,” Lee growled back.

Theresa then marched up to Lee and slapped her back. Lee then flinched in pain as she drew from the impact of the blow. Lee then scowled and slapped Theresa back before she shoved her to the ground and started to wrestle with her. Lee and Theresa began to roll all over each other as they kicked, screamed and pulled each other’s hair.

Lee then pinned Theresa on her back, still holding her hair.

“You’re going to behave now, Theresa?”

“Get off me!” Theresa screamed as Lee pulled on her hair, causing her to yelp.

“Are you going to behave now?”

“Get your hands off me, you old hag!” Theresa roared.

“Don’t you dare call me an old hag!” Lee shrieked.

“Tramp.”

“You petty, thieving gold digger!”

“You nymphomaniac psychopath!”

“Why don’t you just-“

Lee then suddenly stopped speaking when Theresa unexpectedly gave her a passionate kiss. She was stunned with disbelief and immediately froze with terror yet exhilaration. She peered into Theresa’s dark gray eyes as they continued kissing and then closed them. Lee then wrapped her arms around her. After a few minutes they broke apart and Lee narrowed her eyes at Theresa.

“What did you do that for?” she growled.

“I just wanted you to shut up,” Theresa retorted with a satisfied smirk.

“Well then…” Lee blushed as she looked down and giggled. “Do you want to go to my apartment?”

“Sure,” Theresa shrugged. “Why not? I’d like to see your house.”

“We can continue this in my room,” Lee whispered.

“Let’s go to your place then,” Theresa declared.

[gapeach]

Great concept. Am enjoying it so far.

[sevenna92]

Over an hour later, Lee and Theresa arrived at Lee’s penthouse styled room as they were making out. Lee then led Theresa towards the bed as Theresa wrapped her arms around her. They continued kissing passionately as Lee petted her hair tenderly. Theresa then giggled as she looked into Lee's eyes, grinning widely. .

“You like it?” Lee hissed softly as Theresa smirked. “Let’s get this show on the road.”

“Momma, are you there? I need to talk to you about something,” Meryl hollered as she opened the door and walked right into the room. She gasped the moment she put her hands on her mouth and gawked at her mother and her new lover. “Oh my God!”

“Meryl, for God’s sakes!” Lee screamed as she glanced over at her daughter in horror. “Don’t people even knock anymore?”

Meryl stood there in stunned silence as her mouth dropped open and she froze in place. She gawked at her mother with horror and dismay.

“Mother, what are you doing sleeping with HER?” Meryl demanded sternly.

“Why is it any of your business? She was the one that suggested we sleep together!” Lee snapped.

“Did you forget already, Mother?” Meryl snarled as she pointed at Theresa. “Theresa was the one that went out and kidnapped Jessa along with Nick Fallon for drug money. And Nick raped and sexually assaulted her on top of that.”

“I haven’t forgotten,” Lee growled back. “But you forgot that Theresa was also the one who protected Jessa.”

“That does not excuse what she did, Mother,” Meryl sneered curtly. “I honestly wish the judge gave her a much harsher sentence than what she received. She wasn’t punished enough.”

“Well, that’s not up to me to decide,” Lee scoffed.

“Actually, Momma, since you’re the senator now, why don’t you ask the governor to hand down harsher sentences for criminals and villains so they would be in jail for longer periods and they would be kept off our streets! At least then there would be justice.”

“I know you don’t like Theresa and I don’t expect you to,” Lee retorted crisply. “But I don’t care what you think about my relationship with her. I love her and I want to do everything in my power to rehabilitate her. My program will give people like her a chance to become more useful members of society.”

“I know some people do have the potential and ability to change if they want to, Momma,” Meryl said. “But remember this: Theresa Donovan is nothing but trouble. She will do nothing but hurt you in the end.”

She then turned around and walked out of the room.

“God,” Theresa rolled her eyes. “She’s like Jennifer 2.0.”

“Meryl’s usually a nice and sweet girl and she does mean well. She just doesn’t want anything bad happen to me,” Lee said with a smile.

“I guess she’s a good apple that just happened to come from an imperfect tree,” Theresa sighed.

“Yep, my darling is a good seed, not like Nick Fallon. It’s rather unfortunate that Jessica Blake gave birth to a sociopath.”

“Well, that guy was definitely a creep. I just can’t believe he forced himself on me and made me have sex with him,” Theresa sighed.

“I know, and I’m sorry for what happened to you. You did not deserve that,” Lee murmured softly as she stroked her hair.

“I just don’t want to even think about guys at this point,” Theresa muttered as she looked away from Lee pensively. “Right now all I want to think about is you.”

“You need time to heal, that’s all,” Lee assured her as she wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gave her a small assuring squeeze. “It was a very traumatic experience for you.”

“I don’t want healing; I want to sleep with you,” Theresa retorted irascibly as she grabbed Lee’s hands and held them. “I want you to make love to me.”

“You’re a very beautiful woman, Theresa,” Lee purred softly as she nuzzled Theresa’s face.

“Yeah, you too. You know, I’ve never actually noticed up until now what a beautiful body you have,” Theresa whispered seductively as she trailed her nails down her chest.

“Well, that’s because I have good genes and also because I exercise a lot,” Lee proclaimed proudly.

“Really, with all that smoking?” Theresa rolled her eyes incredulously.

“I don’t smoke very often you know,” Lee replied as she brushed Theresa’s hair seductively. “Besides, I see that you have a beautiful accentuated face with those big gray eyes that are extremely attractive. That makes you incredibly sexy.”

“You’re actually serious about that?” Theresa raised an eyebrow.

“Of course,” Lee smiled.

“Well then, in that case…” Theresa smirked as she grabbed Lee’s ribbon and yanked it off, causing her hair to cascade down her back. Lee then watched Theresa put the ribbon on the night table as she took off her own bobby pin and pulled her hair down. She then placed it on the night table next to the ribbon.

Lee then smirked as she pulled Theresa into her arms and began to kiss her passionately. She then pulled her down with her as they began their passionate lovemaking. 

“That was wonderful,” Lee smiled as she and Theresa lay together in bed over an hour later. Lee wore blue pajamas and Theresa wore black pajamas. 

“Yeah, it was actually a lot of fun. I’d like to do it again,” Theresa whispered. “You’re a really great lover.”

“You too,” Lee whispered.

“You know, for all of that time in Salem, I’ve never had so much as a sexual encounter with someone other than Brady and of course Anne, my good friend,” Theresa said. “But now I’m back here in L.A., and I found you… this is the first time in a while that I’ve ever had this experience with anyone.”

“Yeah,” Lee nodded. “But didn’t you have a relationship with him?”

“Yeah, but it was never anything serious, even when we were married. We were simply friends with benefits. Just like we are now. I really thought that Brady and I could have been so much more, but I was wrong. Perhaps I might find someone someday, but not right now. Besides, you already have your two soul mates with you,” Theresa answered. “I’d consider you very lucky.”

“I am very lucky indeed,” Lee chimed. “Perhaps you will be lucky too.”

“I think I already am,” Theresa beamed as she nuzzled Lee. “I’m lucky to have someone who actually cares about me.”

“You know, when I first saw you at Marlena and Jumba’s wedding years ago, I actually thought that you might have been one of my long lost children. You look so much like me,” Lee confessed.

Theresa then let out a short laugh at Lee’s comment. “Are you really serious? Me? Your daughter?”

“Maybe one of Stefano’s henchmen transferred you from my womb to Kim Brady’s,” Lee suggested jokingly. Theresa then chuckled loudly while shaking her head. “Who would be my father then?”

“I don’t know,” Lee answered with a shrug. “Possibly one of the many men I slept with back in the day when I lived in Seattle. Who knows? Maybe you could have been Fajah’s twin or something.”

“Yeah, anyone better than that stupid dad of mine that just went out on missions and never had time for me,” Theresa grumbled with a scowl as she crossed her arms.

“Be careful what you wish for, darling. You might end up having a father like Stefano DiMera,” Lee replied.

“Well, in that case, I don’t want a father like Stefano DiMera. Half of his kids died because of him,” Theresa retorted.

“Yeah,” Lee sighed sadly.

[sevenna92]

“Momma, I want to play,” a tiny male voice squeaked as Lee turned to see Vincent walking into the room and approaching the bed.

He then glanced up at Theresa with a frown. “Momma, who is this?”

“Darling, this is Theresa Jeannie Donovan, Shane and Kimberly’s daughter. She is your Auntie Buddy’s niece and therefore your cousin,” Lee informed her young adopted son.

“Cousin?” Vincent wrinkled his nose as he glanced up at Theresa, who glared at him. “But then why did she kidnap cousin Jessa then? Why did she have to do a mean thing?”

“Well that was because she was a bad person before but now she wants to be good. And Momma is going to help her become good,” Lee explained.

“By wrestling?” Vincent cocked an eyebrow.

“Not by wrestling, my love,” Lee cooed. “With love and discipline.”

“Kind of like how you’re raising me?” Vincent squeaked with big wide eyes.

“Exactly,” Lee beamed as she grabbed Vincent and held him in her arms. “Kind of like how I’m raising you.” She then tickled his armpits and Vincent giggled.

“Tickles!” he laughed as he glanced up at Theresa. “How long is she going to be staying here?”

“As long as she wants to, darling,” Lee answered as Theresa leaned in towards Vincent with a soft smile.

“You might see me a whole lot often, squirt,” she said as she tussled his hair. Vincent then gawked at Theresa confusedly as Lee kissed him on the cheek. He wasn’t exactly sure whether Theresa should be trusted yet, considering what had just happened to Jessa recently.

“Don’t worry, Vincent,” Lee whispered to her young son. “Mommy will protect you no matter what.”

“Okay, Momma,” Vincent smiled as he nuzzled his mother. “Can you come play with me and Charlie?”

“Later, darling. Auntie Theresa and I are going to talk for a little while. I promise that when I’m done with her I’ll go and play with you both, okay?” Lee assured him.

“Promise?” Vincent squeaked expectantly.

“Promise,” Lee nodded as she looped her pinkie around Vincent’s, effectively making a pinky swear.

Vincent then kissed his mother goodbye on the cheek and ran out of the room.

“You seem really fond of him,” Theresa observed briskly.

“Of course I am,” Lee said. “He’s my little baby. He’s my love child with Sasha. Even if she wants nothing to do with him, he’s still my flesh and blood, even if he’s adopted.”

“How noble of you,” Theresa snorted with a short laugh. “A living heir to the Dumonde name.”

“I hope someday he and Delma will replace me as reigning king and queen of my Atlantean kingdom. But until then Renee and Tony will take over as regents until they become of age.”

“So basically two of your children have claims to two of your kingdoms?” Theresa queried.

“Yeah,” Lee nodded. “I mean why not?”

“Maybe the two of us perhaps can have a love child and have him or her be the heir to our own kingdom,” Theresa purred as she wrapped an arm around Lee and caressed her face.

“I think it’s a bit early to be talking about children. I haven’t even decided if you should even be entering my polygamous marriage yet,” Lee scolded her sternly.

“So you’re fine with me being your lover in the meantime?” Theresa snapped.

“You’re not just my mistress and lover. You're also my assistant/secretary/apprentice,” Lee answered.

“Your apprentice? In what?” Theresa scoffed.

“On the path to righteousness,” Lee declared.

“Gee, you make it sound so religious,” Theresa grumbled with an eye roll.

“It’s not,” Lee replied as she pulled Theresa into her arms. “I want to be a good role model for you.”

“You already are,” Theresa whispered as she kissed her on the cheek. Lee then blushed as she looked at her. Theresa then chuckled. “Speaking of names, I hear that Lee isn’t your real name.”

“Really? Where did you hear that?” Lee demanded.

“Well, I’ve been looking up the superhero databases the other day in my laptop and I actually found out some interesting information about you. Why did you change your name from Emily to Lee?” Theresa explained.

“Same reason you hate the name Jeannie. I hate that name. It’s disgusting. I like the name Lee better,” Lee answered.

“Me too,” Theresa murmured wistfully. “I wish my parents named me Theresa.”

“Suit yourself. But now you know. As long as you don’t call me Emily, I won’t call you Jeannie,” Lee remarked. “But I still think it’s cute.”

“Stop it!” Theresa groaned. “Don't tease me. I'm a grown woman."

“Of course you are,” Lee purred as she nuzzled her face.

She then pinched her shoulder as Theresa winced. “Ouch! That hurt!”

She then glared at her as she pinched Lee’s shoulder back, causing her to flinch.

“OW!” the older woman screamed as she rubbed it.

“You like that, don’t you?” Theresa growled.

“Yes, in fact, I do,” Lee growled back as she pounced at Theresa and tackled her onto the bed. Theresa then gawked at Lee in shock. “Gee, you’re pretty aggressive.”

“You haven’t seen nothing yet,” Lee hissed as she began to tickle her aggressively.

"Hey!" Theresa giggled as she squirmed and thrashed wildly.

The two women began to roll around on the bed for several minutes as Theresa flipped Lee over her a couple of times. Lee then grabbed her and pinned her on her back, grinning.

"Pinned you."

"Hey, not fair!" Theresa whined.

She then shoved her off her as they tumbled off the bed and Theresa landed on top of Lee. Theresa then sat up and chuckled.

“I love you, darling,” Lee murmured as she nuzzled Theresa. Theresa received the nuzzle as she gazed tenderly at her.

“You do?”

“More than you know,” Lee murmured. “You have a very special place in my heart.”

“How lovely,” Theresa scoffed with a smirk. “You are such a romantic.”

“I better get going. I promised Vincent I would spend time with him,” Lee said as she got off Theresa and started heading out the door. Theresa then watched Lee leave as her eyes narrowed determinedly.

“You’re not going anywhere, missy!” she declared as she lunged at her and grabbed her.

“What are you doing?” Lee sneered as she glared at the younger red-haired woman.

“Please stay with me,” Theresa pleaded. “I want you to be my mate.”

“Darling, I’m already your mate,” Lee snapped as she tried to break away from her. “Now get your hands off me. I need to see my son.”

“No,” Theresa insisted as she tightened her grip on Lee. “You need to swear to me that you’ll be true to me and no one else. You’re my partner now since we’ve become intimate.”

“Oh, all right!” Lee groaned as she yanked her arm away from her. “I swear it then. I do care for you, believe it or not.”

“You promise?” Theresa widened her eyes with a quivering lip.

“I promise,” Lee sighed.

“Good,” Theresa smiled darkly. “Because if you mess with me, I’ll make sure you will regret it. Besides, I have my ways.”

“You don’t get to run things around here, missy,” Lee retorted crisply as she grabbed Theresa’s shoulders and tightened them. “I am the former Queen Consort of Team Legacy and State Senator. Besides I am much older than you, so you need to listen to me.”

“You don’t get to tell me how to run my life,” Theresa shot back at her. “I am a grown woman and I can take care of myself. Besides, you’re not my mother.”

“Darling, if I was your mother, you wouldn’t be in this mess right now,” Lee remarked briskly.

“Oh, that’s rich, old hag,” Theresa chuckled snidely. “If you were my mother, I would have ended up like so many of your kids.”

“For your information, my children turned out fine. Even my daughter Lorrie is a member of the Major Crimes division of the LAPD for God’s sake,” Lee snarled.

“Your other daughter Renee is still a DiMera tramp banging Stefano’s precious son Tony and bearing his half-breed kids,” Theresa grinned evilly with a malicious expression.

“Don’t you dare talk that way about my daughter!” Lee screamed as she backhanded Theresa roughly and Theresa backed away from her, holding her cheek. She gawked at Lee with a mortified expression as her face turned to rage.

“Oh, now you’re going to get it!” Theresa roared as she charged at Lee with a scream.

“What’s going on here?” Julie demanded as she barged into the room. She shrieked as Theresa tackled Lee to the ground and the two women started wrestling. Lee and Theresa rolled over each other as Lee was pinned onto her back and Theresa was clawing at her.

Julie then gasped as she saw Theresa lunging madly at Lee. “Oh, for Chrissakes! Lee! Theresa!”

“That insolent woman called me an old hag and she started insulting my children!” Lee griped as she struggled to hold Theresa off and Theresa kept on swiping at her.

“She thinks just because she’s an older woman in a position of power that means she gets to boss me around!” Theresa yelled as she pushed against Lee’s hands and lunged for her. Lee was pushing against Theresa’s face as Theresa’s hands flailed wildly just inches from her face.

“Lee, you know better than to do this to Theresa,” Julie chided her daughter-in-law sternly as she continued to watch the two women fight.

“I’m not doing anything she doesn’t want to do,” Lee shot back at the older woman as she grappled Theresa’s arms and Theresa fell on top of her. “Besides, she seems to think she wears the pants in the relationship.”

“You got that right,” Theresa whispered as she rubbed her hands down her sides. “I own you.”

“Nobody owns me. I’m my own woman,” Lee sneered as she winced as Theresa licked her in the eye.

Julie’s eyes darted around nervously as she slowly backed out of the room. “Um, I gotta check up on the kids and Robbie and Doug so… I’ll see you two later since it appears you’re busy.” She then disappeared from sight as the door slammed shut.

Lee rolled her eyes and pushed Theresa off her before she got up. “I got to go and see Vincent. I will spend some time with my kids and grandkids and then later perhaps we will see each other.”

“I’ll be waiting when you return,” Theresa said as she walked up to her slyly and kissed her tenderly. Lee then smiled back at her as she turned to look at her and left the room.

Theresa then immediately dashed over to where Lee’s purse sat on the night table and rifled through it. She then took out six $200 bills and seven $100 bills out of her wallet and stuffed it into her purse.

“I’m sure Lee won’t miss it much,” Theresa muttered to herself. “Besides, I can always pay her back later. Perhaps I’ll buy a lovely ring for my darling lady when I have the chance.”

She then looked at her wallet and took out several cards.

Theresa then examined Lee’s state ID and driver license for several minutes and put them back in the wallet. She then flipped on to the left side and noticed a family picture of Rod, Rhonda and Lee together in the pocket.

The young woman then took out that particular picture and several more out of the wallet and examined them intently with interest. Several of the pictures depicted Lee and her two spouses with their various children, including Sonja and Delma, Meryl and Malcolm, Adrian and Daniel Louis, Deannie, Devon, Jimmy and Kimberly, Julian and Philippe, and even Renee, Lorrie, Chris, Tony, and their respective children.

Theresa then placed the pictures back into the wallet and slipped it back into Lee’s purse. She then slowly walked over to the desk and noticed several other framed pictures sitting idly. She scanned the area silently yet intently with a curious expression as she noticed that there were several wedding photos of Lee, Rhonda and Rod and also other photos of various events of their children’s lives.

For example, there was one picture of Rhonda and Rod holding their newborn twins while there was another picture of the three spouses with Meryl sitting next to Lee and Malcolm sitting between Rhonda and Rod at Reagan’s 4th birthday party. There was another picture of Meryl, Reagan, Lucy, Malcolm and Adrian playing with each other on a Slip & Slide at that same party.

Also there were several pictures of Meryl’s, Malcolm’s, Adrian’s, and Daniel-Louis’s graduation and school photos, along with many of Lee’s other younger children. There were even several school and graduation photos of Reagan, Lucy & Trevor. There was even one huge picture of the entire team with Doug & Julie at the center at their 50th anniversary just a couple of years before.

“What a nice family,” Theresa mumbled with a scowl. “Why can’t I have that?”

She walked away from the table and turned to head out the door. But then she ran right into Doug, who stood in front of her with an akimbo.

“What are you doing here, Theresa?” Doug asked the younger woman.

“Well, I was just… looking at the pictures,” Theresa stammered nervously as she glanced back behind her before turning back to the old man.

“I see,” Doug cocked an eyebrow while he cleared his throat. “Julie has told me some pretty interesting things. It seems you have really taken a strong liking to Lee.”

“Well, who wouldn’t?” Theresa chimed with a smirk as she approached him with an akimbo. “She’s beautiful, rich, sexy and gorgeous. And she has a very charming personality.”

“That she does. And I should know; I was married to her for almost two years,” Doug nodded. “But listen, if you’re going to go out with her, you really need to take it slow. I really don’t think you two need to rush things.”

“Okay,” Theresa scoffed with an eye roll. “Whatever you say, old geezer. I don’t need your dumb advice. I’m a big girl and I can take care of myself.”

“I know, Theresa. It’s just that Lee is a very demanding and headstrong woman sometimes. She can be a lot to handle for a relatively young woman like you. And one more thing,” Doug added darkly as he approached Theresa and gazed into her eyes with a grim expression. “If you do anything to take advantage of her or betray her in any way, I promise you that you will be sorry.”

“Oh, don’t worry, Mr. Williams; I’ll take very good care of your precious ex-wife. How interesting that you actually have such concern for a woman that you’re not even involved with anymore. Wouldn’t your precious Julie be jealous?” Theresa replied demurely.

“For your information, my wife knows that I have eyes for no one but her, and she for me. Lee and I have had problems over the years, but my adopted son loves her very dearly and would give the world for her, so if he values her that much, then I should give as much consideration for him. I would do anything for his happiness.”

“How sweet of you, Mr. Williams. But listen carefully to what I have to say. If you ever interfere with my relationship with Lee, I promise YOU that you will be sorry. You and your precious little busybody wife Julie are going to get it big time, I will make sure of that,” Theresa shot back with her eyes flaring with hate and anger.

She then shoved Doug aside before she stormed out of the room. “Now buzz off.”

Doug then shook his head and sighed exasperatedly. “Chrissakes, I got to talk some sense into that woman before this escalates.”

He then headed out to the living room.
