[André DiMera]

Dear readers,

As you all know, many things have been changing recently on Days of Our Lives. Numerous cast changes, rewrites, returns, departures, and deaths. Many of these stories have been fine, and I am actually quite impressed with some of the new material. However, not all of it has been good, and that is the reason I am here today.

My next story will be a complete rewrite of a storyline that is (somewhat) still ongoing on the show right now. We shall be picking up right after Hope and Aiden's wedding, when the two return to Hope's house. From there, many things will be different. I will be out of town over the next week, so the story shall begin on January 6th. In the meantime, here are some previews of what you can look forward to when I come back. I hope that you will enjoy my new story.

Coming Soon

Hope Brady has a new husband.
HOPE: I love you, Mr. Jennings.
AIDEN: I love you, too, Detective Brady.

But what happens...
BO: Hope?

...when her old husband returns?
HOPE: Bo?
BO: Who the hell is this?

Now Hope and her family have to deal with the return of Bo.
CIARA: Where were you?

But that's not all they have to deal with...
CHAD: What are you doing?
ANDRE: What does it look like?

André has been making plans.
*André chuckles and comes at Chad with a machete*

...but there is something coming that he hadn't planned on.
ANDRE: Get out.

What is André's plan?
*André puts a finger to his mouth*

And will Hope choose the former love of her life...
BO: I want us to be happy, Fancy Face.
*Hope and Bo kiss*

...or the man who showed her how to love again?
AIDEN: All I want is what is best for you.
*Hope and Aiden kiss*

I cannot wait!!!! So excited about this story André DiMera!!!! Great way to start off the New Year

[Kpatch]

This premise is fantastic. If I wasn't so engrossed in Phloe and my novels, I swear I was going to tackle this one. I don't care which man Hope chooses, I am just so happy you are writing the story the way it should have been written in the first place, André DiMera. Standing O just for thinking about it!

[gapeach]

Can't wait! Of course I know who I want Hope to choose!!!

[fluffysmom]

I'm looking forward to seeing Hope have to choose between two loves. Andre's story will be interesting too.

Chapter 1

MARTIN HOUSE
Caroline was the only person left from the party. This had been the night of the Salem Bicentennial Gala, and the night of Hope and Aiden's wedding. Caroline had stayed there to start cleaning up. She wasn't alone for long, however. The humming of a motorcycle was heard, and slowly came to a stop, and was quickly followed by hurried footsteps.
BO: Hope!
Bo ran in.
CAROLINE: Bo!
BO: Ma!
Bo ran over to Caroline and gave her a big hug.
BO: Ma! Oh, ma, it's so good to see you!
CAROLINE: Oh, it's good to see you, too.
BO: Where is everybody? I thought that Hope was getting married tonight.
CAROLINE: She was. Bo, I tried my best to stop that wedding. I really did.
BO: I know, ma. I know. It's okay. So...so let me get this straight. Hope is married? How can that be? She and I are still married!
CAROLINE: No, you're not. She filed for divorce.
BO: I never got any divorce papers.
CAROLINE: Bo, where have you been?
BO: I'll explain all that later, ma. Right now, I have to find my wife. Do you have any idea where she is?
CAROLINE: She went back home.
BO: Okay. Thanks, ma. I'll stop in tomorrow and tell you everything, I promise.
Bo kissed Caroline on the forehead.
BO: It's so good to see you.
CAROLINE: You too. Hurry! Good luck!
Bo ran out the door and jumped on his motorcycle.

BRADY HOUSE
This was the night Hope and Aiden had been waiting for. The big night. Their wedding night. They had just come home from their wedding. Ciara and Chase were staying at Jennifer's. Aiden had said that he had to get something, so he went upstairs. He found the chest where he had hidden the supplies he was going to use, and opened it. He put the necktie in his hands. Then, he stopped.
AIDEN (whispering): No.
He put the necktie down.
AIDEN: No, I can't do this. This is crazy. There has to be another way. There's always another way.
Quickly, he closed the chest and stood.
AIDEN: I can't do this. I could never kill anybody, especially not Hope. No matter what those damn DiMera's have on me, I can't do this.
Aiden came running down the stairs.
AIDEN: Hope!
Hope had been sitting on the couch, but stood up at Aiden as he got to the bottom of the stairs. There were tears in his eyes.
AIDEN: I can't do this.
HOPE: Aiden, what's going on?
AIDEN: I can't do this. I can't do this.
Aiden put his arms around Hope.
AIDEN: I'm so sorry, Hope. I'm so sorry. I can't do this.
HOPE: Aiden, what is it? What's wrong?
Aiden took a deep breath and tried to collect himself.
AIDEN: I...Hope, I have something I need to tell you.

[heroicmuse]

Oh wow! Great beginning!!!!

This is exactly what should have happened if they were going to go with this ridiculous story in the first place. I can't wait to see Bo and Aiden come face to face and see what Aiden is going to tell Hope.

Thanks for the awesome opening chapter André DiMera!

[mae00]

awesome chapter! Can't wait to see how this plays out!

[Kpatch]

I've so been looking forward to this story! Perfect place to re-start the story and tell it properly.

Chapter 2

BRADY HOUSE
Aiden sat down on the couch next to Hope.
AIDEN: I'm...I'm in trouble. I'm in really big trouble, and I don't know how to get out of it.
HOPE: Okay. What kind of trouble?
AIDEN: You know those gambling debts that I told you about?
HOPE: Yeah.
AIDEN: Well...I wasn't completely honest with you. They were gambling debts. But, they got paid off.
HOPE: Isn't that good?
AIDEN: In most cases, it would be. In this case, no. In fact, in this case, I would rather have to deal with the loan sharks than who I have to deal with now.
HOPE: Aiden, who paid off your debts?
AIDEN: Stefano DiMera.
HOPE: What?!
AIDEN: He said that he would pay off my debts in exchange for a few favors. One of which was to be Chad's lawyer. And the other one...
HOPE: The other one what? Aiden, what does Stefano want you to do?
Aiden took a deep breath.
AIDEN: In exchange for paying off my gambling debts...he wants me to kill you.

SALEM P.D.
Lani knocked on Roman's door.
ROMAN: Enter.
She walked into Roman's office.
ROMAN: Officer Price, what can I do for you?
LANI: Well, Commissioner, I was out doing my rounds, and I was giving a ticket for reckless driving. The guy was doing well over the speed limit. I tried to speak with him, but he was beligerent and said something about getting home to his wife. So, I felt that the right call to make was to bring him down here.
ROMAN: That's a little extreme, isn't it?
LANI: Actually, he's the one who gave me the idea. He says that he knows you. He's in one of the interrogation rooms.
Roman put down his pencil.
ROMAN: Okay. I'll check him out.
Roman stood and followed Lani into one of the rooms.
ROMAN: Now, what seems to be the...
BO: Hey, bro.
Roman's mouth fell open.
ROMAN: Bo?
BO: Yep, it's me. I'm back.
ROMAN: Officer Price, would you please excuse us? I think I've got it taken care of from here.
LANI: Certainly.
Lani left the room. Roman took a deep breath.
ROMAN: Okay, I got questions. Number one is this: what da hell are you doin' here?
BO: I told you, I'm back. I'm home. Or, at least, I would be home right now if your brilliant officer hadn't arrested me.
ROMAN: According to Officer Price's report, you were doing 96 in a 40 zone.
BO: I was in a hurry.
ROMAN: Stand up.
Bo stood.
ROMAN: Now, the second thing I wanna say to you is...
Roman gave Bo a hug.
ROMAN: It is so good to see you again, little brother.
BO: You too, Roman. Now, can I get outta here? I gotta get home to my wife.
ROMAN: Wife? Bo, I'm sorry to tell you, you don't have a wife anymore.

[heroicmuse]

Awww I LOVE the Roman/Bo scene! My mind was so stuck on what's happening in the real show that for a second I forgot this was a Bo story and thought it was going to be drunk Eric who was driving too fast. LOL. Anyway what a sweet scene, and so true to character.

I wonder what Hope is going to do with this information. I'm proud of Aiden.

THIS is what should have happened! Great chapter André DiMera!
