Chapter 28

BRADY HOME
It was now Thanksgiving. Hope and Aiden were getting ready. They were going to have lunch with everybody at the Brady Pub that afternoon.
AIDEN: Happy Thanksgiving, detective.
HOPE: Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Jennings.
AIDEN: You know what I'm thankful for this year?
HOPE: What?
AIDEN: That I have the most amazing, wonderful woman in the world, who for some reason chose to be my wife.
HOPE: Well, I'm thankful for having an amazing husband, like you.
Hope and Aiden kissed.
HOPE: And no matter what happens, we'll get through it together.

HELICOPTER
Steve had flown throughout the night.
STEVE: We would be at the ship already if it weren't for all the traps DiMera has set up.
PAIGE: Traps?
STEVE: Yeah, when André was reinventing this island, he set up a whole bunch of boobietraps to try and stop whoever he kept prisoner from escaping. That's why we're having to fly so slowly, so as not to set off any of the traps.
WILL: Uncle Bo said something about this island being near the Bermuda Triangle.
STEVE: Right smack dab in the middle of it. Don't worry, though. Once we get to Puerto Rico, and we're able to land and catch the boat, we'll be just fine.
PAIGE: So, how far into the Triangle are we?
STEVE: If my calculations are correct, we should be just at the very corner of it right now. If we are, that means it's about to get a bit bumpy.
As if on cue, a huge bolt of turbulence hit.
STEVE: Hold on tight, dudes!

BRADY PUB
Bo and Chelsea were setting the table. Most of the people in Salem were coming, so they had put all of the tables together.
BO: Seems like you and Max are doing well.
Chelsea nodded.
CHELSEA: Yep, we are.
BO: So, should I be expecting any big news one of these days?
Chelsea laughed.
CHELSEA: I don't think so.
BO: You love him, don't you?
CHELSEA: Of course. And he loves me. We're just not in a huge rush to get married yet.
BO: I don't blame ya. It's a big step.
CHELSEA: I mean, I'd love it if he asked. But, you know, we're both kind of comfortable where we ware right now.
BO: Makes sense.
They finished setting the table.
BO: Looks good.
CHELSEA: Yeah, it does.
BO: Should go get those napkin holders ma likes to use for Thanksgiving. Be right back.
CHELSEA: Okay.
Bo turned to go into the back, but stopped suddenly and gripped the bar. Chelsea noticed, and ran over.
CHELSEA: Dad? Dad, are you okay?

[Kpatch]

Oh no. Is Bo really ill?

I can picture the adventure over the Bermuda Triangle. Scary.

I'm kind of glad Hope and Aiden seem to be on the same page.

[heroicmuse]

I love Hope and Aiden saying they will get through everything together!

I hope Bo isn't really ill. I assume if he is it will be handled far better than on the show though.

I hope Steve didn't miscalculate. What a scary scenario!

Great chapter André DiMera.

[fluffysmom]

I hope they make it out of the Bermuda Triangle!

Chapter 29

BRADY PUB
Bo was gripping onto the bar. Chelsea ran over.
CHELSEA: Dad? Dad, are you okay?
She ran and got a chair, brought it back, and eased Bo into a sitting position.
CHELSEA: Dad? Dad, what's going on?
Bo snapped out of it once he sat down.
BO: What?
CHELSEA: What just happened to you?
BO: I have no idea. For absolutely no reason at all, I just got dizzy.
CHELSEA: Well, how do you feel now?
BO: Fine. It's really weird. I got dizzy for about a minute, but now I'm fine.
CHELSEA: I think we should get you checked out.
BO: No, there's no need to do that, I'm fine.
CHELSEA: If you were fine, you wouldn't have gotten dizzy. I'm taking you to get checked out.
BO: Chelsea, I'm glad you're concerned for me, but honestly, I'm fine. It was just a little thing. It's over now. It's all god.
CHELSEA: All right. But, I'm going to talk to Daniel about this while he's here today.
BO: Look, there's really no need to involve Daniel in this. I'm fine.
CHELSEA: I'm going to, anyway.
BO: Jeez, you are just as stubborn as...
CHELSEA: As who? You? Wonder where I got that from.
Bo rolled his eyes.
BO: All right, talk to Daniel if you want to. But, I really don't think it's anything to worry about.
CHELSEA: We'll see.
BO: And another thing, don't tell Hope about this.
CHELSEA: Why not? She may not be your wife anymore, but she still cares about you.
BO: She's got enough on her plate right now without worrying about me.
CHELSEA: Dad, she'd want to know.
BO: Just don't say anything about it. At least not in front of Hope.
Bo was about to stand up, but Chelsea made him sit back down.
CHELSEA: Where do you think you're going?
BO: To get the napkin holders for the dinner table.
Chelsea shook her head.
CHELSEA: Nope. I'll go get those. You're staying there for a few minutes. And don't even think about moving until I get back.
BO: I'm not gonna win with you, am I?
Chelsea smiled.
CHELSEA: Nope.
Chelsea went to get the napkin holders. Bo wasn't alone for long, though. Hope, Aiden, Ciara and Chase, as well as Shawn-D, Belle and Claire soon showed up.
SHAWN-D: Hey.
BO: Hey, guys.
Bo eased himself up, and hugged his two children. He then shook hands with Chase.
BO: Chase, good to see ya.
CHASE: You too, Mr. Brady.
Bo and Aiden looked each other in the eye.
BO: Aiden.
AIDEN: Bo.
They stared at each other for a moment.
AIDEN: Look, I know this isn't the easiest situation...for either of us. But, it's Thanksgiving. So, I'm hoping that, while we may not be friends, we can at least be civil, if even polite. We are, after all, two reasonable adults here.
BO: I was thinking the same thing.
Aiden put his hand out. Bo shook it.
HOPE (under her breath): Well, I've heard of Christmas miracles, but Thanksgiving?

[heroicmuse]

That IS a Thanksgiving miracle. I hope that Bo is okay. I'm glad Chelsea is involving Daniel.

I love love love the Chelsea/Bo interactions.

[Kpatch]

Wonder if Chelsea was anxious to call Daniel because she still has some feelings for him. I'm glad she was there for Bo.

I loved Hope's reaction to Aiden and Bo's interaction.

[mae00]

So glad that Chelsea is going to clue Daniel in on Bo's episode.

Hope everyone gets out of the Bermuda Triangle!

[fluffysmom]

I'm glad that Chelsea is planning to tell Daniel about Bo's dizzy spell.

Chapter 30

SALEM P.D.
Rafe was sitting behind his desk, talking on the phone.
RAFE: Yeah, I know. But, Gabi's off with little Arianna to see our mother. Besides, they needed somebody to work the Thanksgiving shift.
Pause.
RAFE: Yeah, I would've gone to the Brady Pub, where there's a huge celebration going on. If there's any time after my shift ends, I will.
Pause.
RAFE: Okay. Well, have a good one, bro.
Pause.
RAFE: You too, bye.
Rafe hung up the phone. He went back to looking at some papers. He noticed an envelope sitting on the table.
RAFE: Guess the lab boys must've put it on my desk before they left.
He picked it up, opened it, and read the paper inside.
RAFE: Oh, I don't believe this.

BRADY PUB
By now, the rest of the people who were going to come had arrived at the Pub.
CIARA: It's good to have you back in town.
CLAIRE: It's good to be back, Aunt Ciara.
Ciara chuckled.
CIARA: You do realize that we're the same age, right? You don't have to call me Aunt Ciara.
CLAIRE: Okay...Ciara.
Ciara and Claire hugged. Meanwhile, Belle and Aiden were talking.
BELLE: I promise, as soon as we get settled, I'll be in.
Aiden chuckled.
AIDEN: Belle, it's okay. I knew when I hired you that it would be a few weeks before you even started. Take as much time as you need.
BELLE: Thanks. I'm just really excited. This is such an honor.
AIDEN: Well, the honor is mine. It will be wonderful working with you.
Daniel walked over to where Chelsea and Bo were sitting.
DANIEL: Good to see you back, Bo. Chelsea.
BO: You too.
CHELSEA: Hi, Daniel. Do you think we could talk for a minute?
Daniel pulled up a chair.
DANIEL: Sure, what's up?
CHELSEA: There's something my dad and I need to tell you about.
DANIEL: Okay.
BO: Chelsea, it's really not a big deal.
CHELSEA: I just want to get Daniel's opinion on it.
DANIEL: What's going on?
CHELSEA: While we were getting today, dad had a...I don't really know how to describe it.
BO: It was just a dizzy spell. I felt dizzy, so I grabbed a hold of the bar.
CHELSEA: It was more than that. He was zoned out for a full minute.
BO: It really wasn't that long.
CHELSEA: Hey, you weren't the one watching it happen.
DANIEL: Okay, okay. Here's what I'm thinking. Bo, you've been held captive for the last three years. For at least a year and a half, you were being tortured. The rest of the time, well, let's just say, I'm not sure that André DiMera kept you in the best living conditions.
BO: It was better than the dungeon he kept me in before.
DANIEL: None the less, Bo, none the less, I think that we should take you to get checked out.
BO: Look, you think it's something that needs to be looked at, okay. But, not right now.
DANIEL: The sooner the better.
BO: Can we at least wait until after dinner?
Hope had been walking by at that moment.
HOPE: Wait for what?
Chelsea, Bo and Daniel all looked at Hope.
HOPE: What's going on?

[heroicmuse]

I'm glad Daniel is on the case! And that Hope overheard. I wonder how she will react.

I can't wait to see Belle and Aiden working together!

Wonder what Rafe got.

Great chapter André DiMera!

[Kpatch]

Loving the twists and turns and mysteries. Can't wait to see what happens with Bo and Daniel and Rafe and Aiden and Belle! I hope this story is a long one!

[fluffysmom]

I'm glad that Bo is going to get a check up.
