The Melaswen Paradox (Read 329,355 times)

[heroicmuse]

The aftermath of Tommy's death is so sad and so realistic. I'm glad the family is all there for each other.

I'm glad Claire is mostly okay. Beautiful scene with her and Chase. I'm glad Ciara is going to sit with her and that Alanis and Joey are coming by later.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[tghca]

Claire is a fighter so I have no doubt she will be back to herself in no time but someone needs to tell Claire about her Great Great Uncle Tommy

Ciara also needs to know too

But Lily getting comfort from her Great Uncle Bill...I loved it...I mean Lily and her grandfather Tommy were close so she has to be taking this the hardest

Loved Tommy's daughters Sandy and Addie comforting each other over their father's death...as sisters they are going to need each other now more than ever

Maggie coming by the house...I loved too but here is hoping Sarah can come by since Tommy was her uncle, her father Mickey's brother but hoping Melissa can come for the funeral or even Nathan

I wonder if Jade will get a gun to protect herself and Emmy from her biological mother, Jan?

So sweet that Chase sang their song for Claire.

I'm glad Maggie showed up and the family is supporting one another.

[mae00]

My heart is shattered and hurts so much for Lily. I unfortunately know that feeling all to well. It's nice to see all of the family there for support.

I love that Chase sang their song for her. Music has always been Claire's outlet. I almost expected her to bust out in song without missing a beat - kinda like Mel Tillis. The man couldn't talk without stuttering, but he could sing without doing it.

Friday - 4/15

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
KAYLA: Yes, of course. I completely understand.
Kayla sat in her office, talking on the phone.
KAYLA: Look, don’t worry about that, just take some time to figure things out. You’ve got more than enough stocked up. If you, Sandy or anyone else in your family needs anything, please let me know. All right. And again, I’m very sorry, Bill.

HORTON HOUSE
BILL: Thank you, Kayla. You too. Bye.
Bill hung up and walked back downstairs.
MARIE: We just got off the phone with Julie. She, Lily and I have been working on arrangements. Tommy and Lily were so close, so I thought it would be a good idea to include her.
Bill nodded.
BILL: Good. Thank you for taking charge of this, Marie. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without you.
MARIE: We’re family, that’s what we do. That’s how Mom and Dad raised us. And you won’t have to worry, I’m not going anywhere.
Bill and Marie hugged.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Claire opened her eyes and shifted in her hospital bed slightly. She looked around the room, and in one corner saw a girl a few years younger than her with dark hair.
CLAIRE: Who are you?
GIRL: I could ask you the same thing.
CLAIRE: What are you doing in my room?
Claire touched her throat. It didn’t feel as rough or dry as it had the previous day, and her speech was back to normal. The girl shrugged.
GIRL: I can’t really explain it, but something told me I should be here.
Claire’s eyes narrowed.
CLAIRE: Okay…I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t even know you.
GIRL: I don’t know you either. Like I said, I don’t know why I felt the urge to come in here, but here we are.
CLAIRE: You look really familiar. Do you go to Salem University?
GIRL: Yeah, I just started there at the beginning of the school year. Maybe that’s where you know me from.
CLAIRE: Maybe.
GIRL: Though, to be honest, you look kinda like this lady my Dad used to be married to.
CLAIRE: That’s interesting. You look like this woman who was obsessed with my Dad.
GIRL: Heh. Well, you seem cooler than this lady.
CLAIRE: This lady, what’s her name?
GIRL: Belle Kiriakis.
CLAIRE: That’s my Mom. But, her last name’s not Kiriakis, it’s Brady.
The girl chuckled.
GIRL: Well, that’s a big turnaround. Last I heard she and Philip were still hot for each other.
CLAIRE: No. I know they had a relationship when I was a baby, but that was a long time ago.
GIRL: Looks like I’m a bit behind on my information, then. So, who’s this guy who took Belle’s eye off of Philip?
CLAIRE: My Dad. Shawn Brady.
The girl smirked.
GIRL: Okay, now I know you’re messing with me.
CLAIRE: I’m really not.
GIRL: Hey, it’s totally cool. It’s a funny joke, actually. But, come on, we both know Shawn Brady isn’t your father. He’s mine.
CLAIRE: What? No, as far as I know, my Dad only has one daughter, and that’s me. I’m Claire Brady.
GIRL: No, I’m Shawn and Jan Brady’s daughter. I’m Shawna Brady.

[lumiforeverandalways]

The Hortons are a close family

Why did you have to bring Shawna in Tony seriously hate her

[Kpatch]

I'm guessing Claire's dream is continuing on and off.

[heroicmuse]

I'm glad the Hortons are there for each other during this time and that Kayla is helping with the arrangements.

Ugh Shawna. I wonder why she keeps appearing in Claire's dreams.

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[tghca]

I don't understand how Shawna even exists...because I know there is no way in hell Shawn would ever sleep with Jan willingly and if Jan was ever pregnant with Shawn's baby, she would have kept it. In fact she would want the whole world to know that she was pregnant with Shawn's child and she would have raised that child. In fact Jan would have raised both of her children Jade and Shawna. She wouldn't just give up her children like that. So that is how I know Shawna is not real. Claire has to be dreaming again.

Funeral arrangements being made for Tommy makes sense so I wonder who will speak at his funeral?

Or who will return for the funeral?

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week…

It seems Claire’s vivid dream has a recurring element.
SHAWNA: I’m Shawna Brady.

But how much will she remember about it when she’s awake?
CHASE: What happened?

Also this week, Sydney and Silver discuss plans.
SILVER: Do you wanna go?

And the Horton family comes together to say goodbye to a dearly loved member.
BILL: It’s time.

The funeral of Tommy Horton comes this week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX.

[heroicmuse]

Tommy's funeral will be so sad

I wonder where Silver and Sydney are going.

What's going on with Claire and these dreams? Is this related to how her brain was impacted by the accident or something else?

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

[lumiforeverandalways]

Claire should tell someone about the dreams maybe something is wrong after the accident!!

Wonder where Sydney and Silver are heading too?

Tommy's funeral will be so sad!!

Thank you for the previews André DiMera

[Kpatch]

I'm very curious about Claire's continuing dream. I've been enjoying it.

Thanks for the previews!

[billiereed]

Ahhhh I finally get to read your mega-saga and though I've only read the introductory 2 episodes so far, I LOVE IT already. Peter Blake was under Hugh's mask all along?! OMG!! I was shocked. Then Andre set off an explosion and blew it Salem - or is Melaswen?!! - to smithereens lol Such a great start to an amazing fic. I look forward to spending my DAYS and evenings reading this fic.

[André DiMera]

So glad you’re enjoying, billiereed! As you can imagine, there’s a LOT that happens, and coming off of the highs of the previous story, Loves Labours, things really kick into high gear!
