Great chapter Andre. I wonder what has Rhiannon so upset. I'm glad that JJ is there for her. It looks like Daniel may be returning to Salem.

[gapeach]

Is there any field of medicine that Dr. Jonas CAN"T handle??

[MrsM]

Poor Rhiannon. Hope she opens up to JJ.

[sportsgirl]

What is wrong with Rhiannon? and why is Marlena bringing in Daniel? So now he's a psychologist also? What kind of twist do you have in store for us Andre?

Chapter 25

PENTHOUSE
It is now a few days later. For the last several days, Marlena had been making phone calls for all of the specialists she could think of. So far, all of them were unavailable. And, her current phone call wasn't going well.
MARLENA: You're absolutely sure that you can't get Greg to fly out to Salem for a few days?
Pause.
MARLENA: Yes, Lisa, I know he's a pain, but he's the best doctor there is.
Pause.
MARLENA: There's no way that you can change his schedule?
Pause.
MARLENA: I see. I see. Well, what about James?
Pause.
MARLENA: Yes, I know that he's an Oncologist, but he's almost every bit as brilliant as Greg.
Pause.
MARLENA: No? How about Eric?
Pause.
MARLENA: Is there a plague out in Jersey or something?
Pause.
MARLENA: Yes, I understand. Thank you, Lisa.
Pause.
MARLENA: Goodbye.
Marlena hung up. John walked in the room.
JOHN: Still no luck?
MARLENA: Unfortunately, all of Lisa's staff are busy, too.
John sighed and sat down on the couch.
JOHN: Well, Doc, there must be somebody.
MARLENA: I know that there is. That's why I've been calling as many doctors as I can. She needs help. And, even with all of my medical knowledge, I can't prescribe her. There are two rules of being a doctor. One: never hire complete idiots. Two: never treat your own family. Now, I've already broken the first one when I hired Lexie and Daniel. And, in a technical sense, I've broken the second any number of times. Oh, there must be somebody who can treat her!
JOHN: There just might be.
MARLENA: John, who are you thinking of?
JOHN: Oh, I think you know who I'm thinking of.
Marlena thought for a moment.
MARLENA: Of course. Why didn't I think of her before?
Marlena got out her cell phone and dialed.
MARLENA: Hello, yes, I need to speak to your head of child psychiatry.
Pause.
MARLENA: Oh, really? Is she? Well, tell her that this is Dr. Marlena Evans on the phone.
Pause.
MARLENA: Yes, I thought that she'd want to take this call. Thank you.

SALEM PLACE
Sydney was walking around. She had her cell phone in hand. She had just dialed a number.
SYDNEY: Hey, it's me. Do you think you can come out to Salem sometime in the near future? I need to talk to you about some stuff.
Pause.
SYDNEY: When'll that be?
Pause.
SYDNEY: Okay. I'll see you in a month or two.
Pause.
SYDNEY: You too. Bye.

Intriguing chapter Andre. I hope Marlena finds the right doctor for Sydney. LOL at the Lexie and Daniel line. I am very curious as to who Sydney called.

[MrsM]

Hmmmm. Wonder who Sydney called. Love that Marlena called Daniel and Lexie idiots.

[André DiMera]

Previews

On Saturday, Nicholas, Melanie, and Philip make arrangements.
NICHOLAS: We're flying out tomorrow.
PHILIP: I told Brady I'm not to be called unless it's an emergency.

An old face returns on Sunday.
LUCAS: What the hell are you doing here?

On Monday, Sydney begins asking questions.
SYDNEY: How come I'm not normal?

Marlena visits Sami on Tuesday.
MARLENA: There's one thing that confuses me: why you're in jail.

Tune in for the finale on Wednesday when Allie asks for help from her brother.
ALLIE: She needs her brother.
JOHNNY: She's a traitor.

[MrsM]

Thanks for the previews Andre!!!

[Kpatch]

LOL at Marlena's rules, one of which she's broken countless times. I wonder who she's calling in. A child therapist. Hope it's not Taylor. Brandon maybe? I like how you incorporated the doctors from House. A plague in Jersey. ROTFL!

Thanks for the previews! Looking forward to the rest of the story.

[sportsgirl]

I wonder who Marlena & John thought of to call...and who did Sydney call?
Love my morning fan fic!

[fluffysmom]

Thanks for the previews Andre. We can't be near the end already.

Chapter 26

PHILIP & MELANIE'S APARTMENT
Philip was holding Melanie. Melanie was crying. Both Ceri and Rhiannon were sitting on the couch. They had somber faces.
MELANIE: I just can't believe that she's gone.
Nicholas walked down the stairs. He, too, looked upset.
NICHOLAS: I've, um, spoken with Quinn. We're going to be flying out there to meet him tomorrow.
PHILIP: I called up Brady. Told him I was going out of the country for a few days and was not to be called unless it was an extreme emergency.
NICHOLAS: All right. Thank you, Philip. I know you and I don't get along and that you didn't like her very much, but this means a lot.
PHILIP: Well, she was Mel's mother, too.
Nicholas sat down on the couch between his two daughters. He put his arms around them and kissed them both on the forehead.
NICHOLAS: I think you two should go up to bed. Our flight's early tomorrow. Plus, we've got a long, hard few days ahead of us.
RHIANNON: Okay. Night, daddy.
Rhiannon kissed Nicholas on the cheek and went upstairs.
CERI: Good night, dad.
Ceri kissed Nicholas on the other cheek and followed her sister.
PHILIP: Have you heard from anyone else?
NICHOLAS: Well, Bo, Hope and Jennifer will all be coming. Daniel's gonna see if he can make it, also. I called Aunt Vivian and she said she'd be, and I'm not making this up, I'm using her own words, she said she'd be “more than delighted to come”.
MELANIE: Witch.
PHILIP: Well, I see that dear old Vivian is still the same.
NICHOLAS: Yes, unfortunately. Time hasn't changed her one bit.
PHILIP: Well, remind me to sit on the opposite side of the room from her at the funeral.

HALLWAY
Rhiannon sat in the hallway outside of her bedroom. She got out her cell phone and dialed a number.
J.J. (VO, over phone): Hello?
RHIANNON: Hey. Are you sleeping or can we talk for a minute?
J.J. (VO, over phone): No, we can talk. What's up?
RHIANNON: Ceri, my dad, Philip, Aunt Mel, and I are going outta town for a few days. I don't know when I'll be back.
J.J. (VO, over phone): Oh? Where're you all going?
RHIANNON: Switzerland. My, um...my Grandma Carly died a few days ago. That's why I was so upset the other day.
J.J. (VO, over phone): Oh, I'm sorry. I never really knew her, but my Mom and her used to be really close. Is there anything I can do for you?
RHIANNON: No thanks. We're leaving tomorrow. I just wanted to call and tell you that I won't be around for a week or two.
J.J. (VO, over phone): Okay. Well, if you need anything, I'm here. Just, call me up and I'll be right over.
RHIANNON: Thanks. You're sweet. I'll miss you.
J.J. (VO, over phone): I'll miss you, too.
RHIANNON: Well, I should probably go to bed. I'll call you in a couple days.
J.J. (VO, over phone): All right. I'll be here when you need me.
RHIANNON: Thanks. Bye.

[Kpatch]

Oh wow, Carly's gone. And Vivian wants to dance on her grave. Not surprising.

Thanks for the weekend chapter Andre!

[fluffysmom]

LOL at Vivian's response. That was vintage Vivian. I'm glad to know what Rhiannon was upset about.
