Pick up from p. 19

Meanwhile at the Bradshaws, Colin & Kalie had changed from perfect little angels to devils in dirty diapers.  The Judge was having a hard time controlling them as they screamed and cried and ran a muck.

When his wife, granddaughter and Robin finally made it back and came through the front door, they couldn't believe what a mess the house was.

"Sweetheart, what happened?!" Beverly gasped, looking around in disbelief.

"I--I don't know!" he stammered.  "I just let them out of their cribs for a minute and--and--THIS HAPPENED!" he tried to explain pointing at the messed up living room.

There were pampers, ripped and thrown all over the room while Colin and Kalie sat in the middle of the floor screaming and throwing baby wipes at each other.

"Oh no....." Cassie moaned.  "This is all I need...."

"Come on Cassie lets give your grandfather a hand." said Robin.

"Yeah we'll take it from Granddad." said Cassie as she and Robin took the screaming babies upstairs.

"Thank you." relieved Judge Bradshaw.

"Are you alright?" asked Beverly.

"I'm getting too old for this." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Aww you get to bed.  You had a long day." said Beverly.

"Where is that boy Charles?  No one takes this long pumping gas." complained Judge Bradshaw.

"Umm I guess is in the hos..I hotel staying for the night.  I guess he doesn't want to intrude or be a burden." lied Beverly.

"Well isn't that just typical." complained Judge Bradsahw.

"Now don't you start." said Beverly.

"I'm telling you that boy is taking Cassie for long rollorcoaster ride.  It obvivious this boy don't care anything about Cassie or those kids.  How could Eddie let that girl get involve with a boy like that." angered Judge Bradshaw.

"That's enough that girl will hear you." snapped Beverly.

"So what if she hears me.  Someone have to say it.  I'm being racist or anything but that Antoni is nothing but trouble.  Do you realize the Cassie and Charles was held hostage at that dreadful house a few months ago?" asked Bradsahw.


"It wasn't Charles' fault." said Beverly.

"Why can't that boy be more like Robin?  He's smart, got his head together and he's really have a positive influence on Cassie." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Look I think both Robin and Cassie just want to be friends." said Beverly.

"Did you see them at the table and especially when Robin kiss Cassie's forehead?" asked Bradshaw.

"Oh come on that was just a friendly kiss." said Beverly.

"They look like they want to be more than just friends.  Why would Robin go through all that trouble to get Renovation for the Peace Wall?" said Judge Bradshaw.

"He did that because he cares about her and he knew how much it meant to her and the community. Plus he also renovation at that coffee shop at the evolution." said Beverly.

"That's Revolution." said Judge Bradshaw.

Then Beverly look at Bradsahw funny.

"What? Just because I'm old doesn't mean I'm not hip with the kids today." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Whatever." said Beverly rollin' her eyes.

"Look I'm saying maybe with a little encourage we can get Cassie and Robin to date." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Look that is not our place to try and get involve with those kids personal lives.  Now I admit Charles isn't perfect but Charles is good for Cassie." said Beverly.

"Well Cassie can do alot better." said Judge Bradshaw.

"It's Cassie's life and if being involve with Charles is a mistake and it's her mistake not ours.  Let her grow up and make her mistakes that way she will learn from them." said Beverly.

"I just don't our granddaughter make the same mistake like her mother." said Bradshaw.

"Jenn grew up to be a nurse and wonderful mother who brought  three kids into world.  Not to mention they adopted a little girl." said Beverly.

"Well I still think Cassie is better off with Robin." said Bradshaw.

"Go to bed man." frustrated Beverly.

Meanwhile Robin and Cassie was upstairs changing the twins diapers.

Batman642

"Robin, thanks so much for all of your help," Cassie said as she fussed over Kalie's diaper.  "I don't know how I'd manage all of this without you....."

"Cassie, you do this all the time.  What are you talking about?" Robin asked.

"Charles helps me alot.  And now that's he's laid up in the hospital......"  She started to get upset again.

Robin put Colin down with a bottle and took Kalie from Cassie.  "Come here little girl....." he said playfully, making Kalie giggle.

He put her down and gave her a bottle too and then put his arm around Cassie.

"Look, you've gotta pull yourself together for the twins' sake.  They can't see you crying all the time.  It's not good for them," he reasoned.

Cassie was embarrassed.  "I know, I know.  I don't know what's wrong with me lately, Robin.  I should be used to Charles' drama by now shouldn't I?"

"I guess...." he replied, doubtful.  "Look, let's go downstairs and get some cocoa and relax.  The kids are fine now," he suggested.

"I need more than some cocoa," Cassie replied.

"Tell me what you need, Cassie.  You know I'll do anything for you," he said really meaning it.

"No......you'll just laugh, or, or look at me like I'm crazy....." she replied sadly.

"Cassie!  This is ROBIN you're talking to!  Remember me?" he coaxed her.  "Now what do you need to feel better?"

"Well....." she hesitated, "could you just hold me for a little while?  I just need you to hold me....."

Robin complied, feeling sorry for Cassie.  As he held her in his arms, he closed his eyes, enjoying the fragrance of her long, dark, hair.

"God, you smell so good..... " he whispered.
Candygwen

"I feel so safe in your arms," whispered Cassie.

I'm here for you always...I just want you to know that," said Robin as he looked in a her brown eyes.

As heir lips were about to lock a knock came a he door. The two broke apat quickly as Beverly came in.

"Am I intrupting?" askd Beverly caught off guard.

"No Mrs. Brad...I mean grandma. Your not inrupting anything at all," said Robin.

Cassie fell back ashamed.

"Well...i just wanted to let you know that your room is ready for you when you are," said Beverly as she stared at Cassie.

"Uh...I appericate your genoursity, but I think I'm going to check into a hotel. That would be best, and I'll be back early tomorrow," said Robin making sure Cassie undersood the point.

"Okay. But just know that you can come back here," said Beverly suspicious.

"Thanks, but no thanks. I will see you all tomorrow. Bye Grandma," as Robin hugged Mrs. Bradshaw, "Goodnight Cassie".

Robin kissed Cassie on the head an exited the room.
Robertadamsonlover

"Cassandra, did I almost see what I THINK I almost saw?" Beverly asked her.

"What do you think you almost saw?" Cassie asked being vague.

"Don't play games with me young lady," Beverly warned.

Cassie sighed, emotionally and physically exhausted.  "Grandma.......I asked Robin to hold me.  I just feel so.....so...."  She couldn't even finish her sentence before the tears came again.

Beverly's heart melted as she opened her arms to Cassie. 

"There, there, baby.....Grandma will hold you for as long as you want...." she comforted her crying granddaughter.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Robin checked into a hotel and got a room for the night.

"Wow that was a close call." Robin said to himself.

"This is becoming a little bit too dangerous.  If Mrs Bradshaw ever saw me and Cassie kissing she would have a cow big time.  And imagine what would Judge Bradshaw will feel..I'll lose the renovation and everything. (Sigh) What's wrong with me?  Why does Charles have to go out there and get hurt?  The closer I get to Cassie the more feelings I have for her.  I have to control myself." said Robin.

Robin went to bed and went to sleep.  Later that night at the Bradshaws Cassie got up and saw the address of the hotel where Robin was staying. She got her jacket and snuck out quietly out the house.  She went to the hotel where Robin was staying and told the hotel manager that she is visiting him.  So the Manager gave Cassie the key to Robin suite.  Meanwhile Robin sound asleep until he heard a door open before he got out of bed  he heard Cassie's voice and then he saw Cassie crawling into bed with him and she took off her jacket and Robin a Cassie wearing a purple lingerie.

"CASSIE!!!" yelled Robin.

"Shhhh!!!" said Cassie covering Robin's mouth.

"Cassie what are you doing here?" shocked Robin.

"Robin I want to stay here with you tonight.' said Cassie.

"Cassie are you nuts? You can't just walked out of you grandparents house and come here.  And where are the twins?" shocked Robin.

"Calm down the twins are still over at grandparents house and sound asleep." said Cassie.

"Does your grandparents know you're here?" shocked Robin.

"No but I will head back to their place beofere will even wake up." said Cassie.

"No Cassie you cannot stay here.  You know better than that.  What's the matter with you?" disappointed Robin.

"Robin please I need you. You the only one I can turn to.  I feel comfortable being here with you." said Cassie as started remove Robin's t shirt.

"Cassie what are you doing?" said Robin nervously.

"Robin you're leaving tomorrow and heading back to Sea School.  I want to spend one last night with you before you head back. It killing me everytime we say good-bye. It hurting me.  There is so much drama in life.  Please make this night special to me.  If you really love me Robin than let me stay here." said Cassie as she begins to kiss Robin.

"But Cassie what about Charles...Lulu?" confused Robin.

"Robin shhh...this will be our little secret okay because I have nothing to feel guilty about this time.  I'm with you." said Cassie as she removed her lingeie and kiss Robin.

"But..." said Robin as kiss Cassie.

Soon their bodies got closer together and the two started kissing and then Robin lay Cassie down on his bed and started making love the whole night.  Neither one of them didn't want to let go.

"Robin you wearing a condom right?" asked Cassie.

"Yes you got birth controls?" asked Robin.

"For sure." said Cassie

They continue to make love until they both fell asleep.  Robin held Cassie close like he promise and went to sleep.  Soon around 5am  Cassie woke up, took a shower and got dress. Robin woke up and watch Cassie getting dress.

"God she got such a beautiful body." said Robin.

"Morning sleepy head." said Cassie putting her lingerie back on.

"Hey you don't feel funny or guilty?" scared Robin.

"Of course not.  Robin I promise I won't tell anybody about last night." said Cassie touching his face.

"Promise?" asked RObin.

"I won't even tell Charles." said Cassie as she and Roin kiss.

"I have to head back.  See you at the house.  And Robin thank you...this means alot to me." said Cassie.

"This means alot to me as well." said Robin.

As Cassie left.  Robin was wide awake and hoping this wasn't a dream.  Meanwhile Cassie return and snuck back in the Bradshaw household.

"Whew my grandparents are still sleeping." said Cassie to herself.

Cassie went to check on the twins and saw sound asleep so she stayed in the room them to keep them company.

Meanwhile Eddie finally returned at the Antoni's household.

"Great how am I going to tell Mrs. Antoni about her son?" wondered Eddie to himself.

Batman642

Eddie decided to pass the buck once again.  Since he'd gotten Robin to tell Cassie, he decided he'd get Dana to tell Marla.

He found Dana sitting in the den watching a movie by herself and knocked politely on the door.

"Is it alright if I come in?" he asked peeking in.

"Oh sure, Eddie!  I'm just being a couch potato!" she joked munching on some chips.

"I need a favor, Dana," Eddie said as he sat on the couch next to her.

"Sure, Eddie, anything," she assured him.  "What's up?"

So Eddie told Dana the whole story about the roadrtrip with Charles, Robin, Sage, the rape, the fight and the stabbing.

"Oh God, Eddie.....Marla's gonna freak when she hears this!"

"I know, I know," he agreed.  "That's why I was hoping you could be the one to tell her......"

"ME???!!!!" Dana yelled, totally caught off guard. 

Eddie put his hand on Dana's shoulder.  "Chill, Dana.  You said yourself you'd do ANYTHING for me," he reminded her.

"But--"

"And you're close to Marla--closer than I am.  You'll know how to break it to her, Dana.  Afterall, you're a mom with a son just like she is," he said trying to butter her up.

"TWO SONS," she corrected him.  "AND ONE OF THEM IS YOURS!" she said, rubbing it in.

Eddie shook his head, annoyed.  "Dana, are you gonna do this for me or not?" he asked impatiently.

Dana got up from the couch, just as annoyed as he was.  "I'll do it, I'll do it.  I said I'd do you a favor, so I'll do it!" she agreed as she stormed out of the den to find Marla.
Candygwen

"I gotta make this up to Dana somehow.  She probably thinks I'm taking her for granted. I have to do something let her know I appreciate what she has done." said Eddie to himself.

"I do appreciate what you have done." said Jenn as she walked up to Eddie thinking he was talking about her."

"Huh?" confused Eddie.

"You were talking about taking me for granted.  Eddie are you alright?  What happened down in San Diego?" asked Jenn.

"It's a long story you don't want hear about it." said Eddie.

"Eddie you out the whole night. What went on over there?" asked Jenn.

"(Sigh) Well the good news is Cassie isn't involve.  But it more of a Sage and Charles problem now." said Eddie.

"Sage & Charles problem?  How did Sage end up in San Diego?" asked Jenn.

"Sit down and let me explain everything." said Eddie.

Meanwhile spotted Marla in the Den reading.

"Hey Marla can we talk?" asked Dana.

"Sure what's on your mind?" wondered Marla.

Batman642

Dana explained the whole problem to Marla as sincerly as she could.

"What!! Let's go to San Diego now!" said Marla as she stormed out.

Meanwhile after Cassie wached the twins, she creep into her room and found Bevrly waiting.

"Grandma!! What are you doing here?" asked Cassie shocked.

"Where were you Cassie? I'm not playing young lady! Tell me where you were now!!" yelled Beverly intensly.

"Grandma...I'm grown. I don't have to tell you anything" said Cassie as she walked passed her grandmother.

"Oh you may THINK you're grown but under my house you are still my granddaughter," said Beverly as she yanked Cassie's overcoat.

Cassie was flushed with embrassesment as her purple lingerie was exposed.

"You were with Robin weren't you Cassie," said Beverly fierious(sp).
Robertadamsonlover

"Yes I was with Robin but nothing happened.  He even begged me to leave." said Cassie telling half the truth.

"Are you telling me the truth?" asked Beverly.

"Grandma you know me.  Look I was upset and I needed to talk to someone.  Robin was the only one I could talk to.  I know  it inappropriate to run out in my lingerie but with so much has happening I just needed to talk to Robin.  He begged to leave but he realize it was dark and late he hd no choice but to let me stayed the night but nothing happened.  We slept in separate beds." lied Cassie.

"Well you shouldn't have gone out this house in the first place.  There are creeps in perverts out there just wanting to take advantage of young girls such as yourself. And your friend Sage was almost rape last night." said Beverly.

"She's no friend of mine...but I felt bad that this happens to her." said Cassie.

"Cassie I understand what you are going through.  But this is still our house and you need to respect us as much as you respect your parents alright." explained Beverly.

"I understand and I'm sorry Grandma." said Cassie.

"Apology accepted but if you do that again.  I promise you I won't be that nice." warned Beverly as she and Cassie hugged.

"I'm going to fix breakfast." said Beverly.

"Good I'm starved." said Cassie.

"Cassie are you sure you and Robin?!?" wondered Beverly.

"Grandma nothing happened." lied Cassie.

"Alright I'll take your word..for now." said Beverly as she head to the kitchen.

"Whew she finally bought my story." said relieved Cassie.

Batman642

Meanwhile, Beverly went back to her bedroom before heading for the kitchen to fix breakfast.  The Judge was just starting to get out of bed.

"Good morning.  Did you have nightmares about your babysitting disaster?" Beverly teased him as she kissed him on top of the head.

He chuckled and shook his head in embarrassment.  "Please don't ever do that to me again.  Don't ever leave me with those two brats ALONE--please!"

"Don't worry.  I won't.  It was no fun cleaning up the livingroom, believe me....."

"Are you headed for the kitchen?  I'll come down with you," he offered.

"Good.  But first........I just thought you should know your granddaughter came strutting in here a few minutes ago in an overcoat with a purple nightie underneath.  I caught her," Beverly revealed.

"She doesn't have any friends in San Diego...." the Judge wondered outloud.

"Oh, she told me where she was.  She was at Robin's motel room!  And listen to this......she wants me to believe NOTHING HAPPENED.  They slept in separate beds!" Beverly said angrily.

"What did you say to her, Bev?" he asked concerned.

"I'm playing her game.  I acted like I believed her.  And believe me, I should've won an academy award for my performance," she chuckled a little.

The Judge shook his head sadly.  "I know I said I wanted her to get together with Robin, but I didn't mean LIKE THIS!  She's acting like a little slut....." he remarked.

"And treating us like we're IDIOTS.  Just because I've got one or two gray hairs, it doesn't mean I don't know about life and people--especially YOUNG PEOPLE.  Afterall, I was young once, and so were you...."

"Yeah....." he said reminiscing about the good ole days.  "And we had some fun in the sack, didn't we Bev?" he asked devilishly.

"We still do!" she replied indignantly.

The Judge smiled and sighed.  "If what you think happened really happened between Cassie and Robin, I'm very disappointed, Bev.  In both of them."

"Me too.  But it's too late to cry over spilled milk now....."

"Unfortunately, this is gonna come back to haunt one of them if not BOTH of them...." her husband said.

"Yes.  Some people have to learn the hard way......" Beverly agreed.

The Judge got up from the bed and put on his slippers.  "Come on, let's go downstairs.  I'll help you with breakfast."

The older couple left the bedroom, hand-in-hand.
Candygwen

"Morning Cassie." greeted said Judge Bradshaw.

"Hey Grandpa." said Cassie.

"Since we are both here I would make some frenchtoast." said Beverly.

"Good I love frenchtoast. So Cassie I heard snuck to see Robin last night." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Yes but nothing happened between us." surprised Cassie.

"It's kinda unusual for you to run out in nightie." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Grandpa it's not what you think." said Cassie.

Soon the doorbell rang and it was Robin.

"Well speak of the devil." said Beverly.

"Beverly be nice. Come on in Robin." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Morning everybody." said Robin.

"Morning my future writer.  Have a seat.  Matter of fact sit next to Cassie.  YOu're just in time for breakfast." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Okay Mr. Bradshaw." said Robin slowly sitting down.

"Robin for the last time call me Grandpa." teased Judge Bradshaw.

"Oops Sorry." said Robin.

"I bet you are." mutter Beverly.

"Oh here's your paper.  I picked it up on the way over." said Robin

"Thanks Robin.  Such a polite young boy." said JUdge Bradshaw.

"Robin we were just talking about you." said Beverly.

"About the Renovation?" asked Robin.

"No about my granddaughter spending the night with you." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Cassie you promise." whispered Robin.

"Robin I have told them nothing happened last night." said Cassie.

"I see.  Robin care to fill in more details." said Judge Bradshaw.

"There's nothing to explan.  Cassie just came over and slept." said Robin.

"And nothing happened?" asked Judge Bradshaw suspiciously.

"YES NOTHING HAPPENED!" said Robin & Cassie.

"I'm trying hard to believe you two but something adding up.  It doesn't make any sense. I wanna to give you two the benefit of the doubt here but isn't adding up." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Alright I confess. I'll come clean." said Robin.

"Robin our secret!" warned Cassie.

"I'm sorry but we cannot sit here and lied to your grandparents after all what they for fun.  We have to come clean." said Robin.

Cassie put her head over her hands in shame.

"Look we haven't been real honest  with you." said Robin.

"This should be good." said Beverly.

"Yes Cassie went over to see me last me.  And I tried everything to get her to go back. But she was too upset because she had a nightmare." lied RObin.

"A nightmare?!?" surprised Judge Bradshaw.

"Cassie you didn't tell us you had a nightmare." said Beverly.

"Uh yes I had a very horrible nightmare." said Cassie.

"She was so upset with the whole situation with Charles.  Snuck out and ran to see me.  Cassie was afraid to fall asleep so we stayed up half the night and played cards.  Oh by the way here's your cards Cassie try not to leave your stuff behind." said Robin handing Cassie a deck of cards.

"That's it?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"No afterward I read Cassieone of my poetries so she can go to sleep.  She finally did. So I let her sleep in my bed and I went downstairs to the hotel manager to ask to sleep in another room.  Which he did." lied Robin.

"Cassie why didn't you come to us or call us.  When you had this nightmare?" concerned Judge Bradshaw.

"I didn't want to bother you guys.  You two were fast asleep.  Plus it was late." said Cassie.

"Oh my God we should've known better." said Beverly.

"We owe you two an apology for thinking the worst of you two." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Yeah but you still should not have snuck out of the house like that Cassandra." said Beverly.

"You're a parent now.  You have to be more responsible." said Judge Bradshaw.

"You sound like mom." said Cassie.

"You should listen to her.  Try not to make the same mistake she made like marrying your father.." said Judge Bradshaw.

Then Beverly slapped Bradshaw across the head.

"Hey... and don't be afraid to come to us if you have a problem. No matter how late it is." said Judge Bradshaw.

"I know that now." said Cassie.

Robin and Cassie was relieved that the Bradshaws bought their lies.

"Will you two accept our apologies for doubting you kids?" asked Beverly.

"It's not big deal.  No harm was done." said Robin.

"Robin I would like you to read me the poetry you read to my granddaughter last night." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Now?" shocked Cassie.

"Yes now." said Judge Bradshaw.

"I sure will" said Robin.

Robin reached in his folder and pulled out his latest poetires.

"Not to worry Cassie I alway carried poetries at all time." whispered Robin.

"Thanks for covering for me Robin." whispered Cassie.

"You mean covering for us." whispered Robin.

"I really owe you my life.  How can I repay you?" asked Cassie.

Just promise me when you and Charles will work things out in Utah and please don't tell Charles about last night." whispered Robin.

"Robin I told you it's our little secret.  And I will try to work things out with Charles." said Cassie as she held Robin's hand.

"Oh Robin any day now." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Oops sorry Mr...I mean Grandpa." said Robin.

As Robin read his poetry Judge and Beverly held close together.

"Doesn't Robin read such beautifully?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Yeah I hate to admit it but him and Cassie do make a cute couple.  Just look at them they are so adorable." said Beverly.

"You gonna to hook those two up." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Now you stop that." said Beverly.

"Why she seems alot happier with Robin than that Antoni boy.  And seeing her with robin reduces my stress." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Will you be quiet and listen to the poem man." said Beverly.

Meanwhile back at Lincoln Heights.

Batman642

After Eddie got Dana to speak with Marla, and after he told Jenn everything that was going on, he decided it was time to start taking care of his own renovations so that his family could move back to their house. 

So he got Nate, Tay, Jeron and Spencer together and they went over to the house to start doing the smaller repairs while the contractors worked on the more difficult jobs.

While they were busy doing that, Jenn and Lizzie took Natalie over to see Bill about the new modeling job he had lined up for her.

And last but not least, Sage and her father were back at home together.  Sage was in bed and Lund was waiting on her hand and foot, trying to help her get over her ordeal.

"Dad, I ran out of HIV meds," she told him when he came in with a tray of food for her.

"No you didn't.  Danny went to the hospital and picked some more up for you," Lund replied as he pointed to the medicine on her dresser.

"Oh, cool," she said relieved.  "Did he say anything else?"

"No.  He just dropped off the medicine and left," Lund said as he fluffed Sage's pillow for her.

"I don't want him to know what happened to me, Dad," Sage said sadly.

"Don't worry.  He won't hear it from me," Lund assured her.

"I'm surprised he hasn't tried to reach me....."

Lund chuckled.  "Two days is not a long time, Sage."

"Hmmm....." she wondered.

Meanwhile, Danny and Giselle are at Denny's for brunch.
Candygwen

"Thanks for taking me out to eat." said Giselle.

"My pleasure! I love doing things for you." said Danny.

"So Danny tell me about you yourself." said Giselle.

Then suddenly Danny cell phone rang and it was Sage.  But Danny continued to ignored it.

"Danny why is your cell phone keeps ringing?" asked Giselle.

"Oh it just a unwanted call." said Danny.

"Well Danny you haven't answer my question.  Tell me a little bit abou yourself." said Giselle out of curiousity.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked Giselle.

Batman642

Danny laughed a little.  "Just come out with it, why don't you?" he said sarcastically.

"Yeah, well, I kinda did....." Giselle answered back.

"I'm not in an exclusive relationship--let's leave it at that," he said.  "And you?"

"I'm new here, and I'm thousands of miles away from home."

"And why is that?" he asked.

"I needed a fresh start."

He laughed again.  "Giselle, you're not old enough to need a FRESH START!"

She raised an eyebrow.  "Age ain't nothin but a number."

Danny pretended to do a doubletake.  "Uh-oh!  Where'd you learn THAT?" he teased.

"Enough about me," she answered.  "Who are you NOT in an exclusive relationship WITH?" she persisted.

Danny decided it was time to turn on the charm, so he reached across the table and took Giselle's hand in his.  "I'm NOT in an exclusive relationship with YOU--YET.  But lemme tell you, Giselle, I'd LOVE TO BE...."

Meanwhile, Dana and Marla are packed and driving in Marla's Mercedes to the airport for their trip to San Diego.

"Thanks, Dana, for coming along with me," Marla said, speeding.

"Slow down, girl....." Dana replied, closing her eyes and holding on for dear life.
Candygwen

"I just gotta see my boy Charles." worried Marla.

"Calmed down Marla,  you are going to get us both killed." said Dana.

"I can't help it Dana." said Marla.

"Oh yeah you better slow down unless you want to get pull over and I do not want to suffer a Rodney King beating from the police." said Dana.

"Alright alright I calm." said Marla.

So they finally arrived at the airport and Marla got quickest plane ticket as possible.

Meanwhile back in San Diego Cassie, Robin and the Bradshaw got ready to visit Charles at the hospital.

"I hope Charles is okay." said Cassie.

"He'll be fine. If he can survive a car accident surely he can survived this." said Robin.

"Hey have you call Lulu yet?" asked Cassie.

"Oh wow I almost forgot.  She's going to kill me.  Can you call her and talk to her for me and explain everything Cassie." begged Robin.

"Sure that was friends are for." said Cassie.

"Just don't tell her about what we did last night." said Robin.

"Robin I've already it's our little secret relax." said Cassie.

So Cassie called Lulu.  And Lulu answered the cell.

Batman642

"Hey girl.....I was getting seriously worried!" Lulu said, answering Cassie's call.  "Did they get there yet or what?  Robin hasn't called me and I refuse to call him after what I heard on the other end of that phone!"

"Oh, Lulu....I don't know where to begin, girl....." Cassie sighed.

Lulu gasped.  "What?!!!  Did something bad happen to my Boo???!!!" she screamed hysterical.

"Lulu, calm down!  Robin is fine!"

"Cassie!! You scared me!!!  You made it sound like something bad happened!!" she complained upset.

"Something bad did happen--TO CHARLES."

"Oh my God......Cassie.......I'm SO SORRY!  WHAT HAPPENED?!" Lulu asked, panicking.

"Well, first of all, you were right about Sage.  She was in the car because she forced herself on the guys and they didn't have the heart to kick her to the curb.  Second, when they got to San Diego they dropped her off at a motel and came to my grandparents' house without her.  But she was spooked in the motel by herself and called Charles and asked him to come check on her and he did.  But when he got there Sage was being attacked by a huge trucker and when Charles jumped in to help her he got beat up and stabbed and now he's hospitalized."

"Oh girl........that's horrible......THIS IS ALL SAGE'S FAULT!" Lulu shouted.  "We should have gotten rid of her when we had the chance over the Summer!"

"I can't waste my energy blaming Sage.  I've gotta be strong for Charles."

"How is he?  Is he gonna make it?" Lulu asked, frightened.

"Yeah at least that's what they say.  But he's been through so much, Lulu.  You know that.  How much more can he take?" Cassie worried.

"Girl I wish I could be there with you to hold your hand....." Lulu sympathized.  "Is Robin taking good care of you?" she asked.

The question caught her off guard, and for a split second Cassie didn't know what to say to her best friend.
Candygwen

"Umm you can say that...he's been taking very good care of me." said Cassie as she blush a little and started to smile at Robin.

Robin was blushing himself.

"Robin is such a good man." said Cassie.

"Hey really is.  That's why he's my boo.  Did Robin take care of the Renovations?" asked Cassie.

"He sure did.  Grandpa was very cooperative and everything worked out great.  The Peace Wall and The Revolutuion is saved." said Cassie.

"Thank God.  I know my baby can pull it off." said Lulu.

"I can finally repaint again.  Wow when Rev. Kingston hears about this.  He's definitely going to trip because he has no authority to take it down again.  Thanks to Robin." said Cassie.

"Let me talk to Robin." said Lulu.

"Okay...she's yours Robin." said Cassie.

"Thanks" said Robin.

Batman642

"Hey Boooooooo," Lulu greeted him lovingly.  "You okay?" she asked sweetly.

"Yeah, Lulu.  It's been really crazy here--I guess you heard?"

"Yes, Cassie told me.  You know, I have to admit--at first I was mad at you, Boo--over Sage and all.  But Cassie explained that Sage played you guys.....so.....I guess I can't be mad at you."

"Thanks, Lulu.  You're the best," Robin replied, relieved.

"Are you still coming back to Sea School today?  You said you'd only be gone a day--remember?" she reminded him.

"Oh......yeah......about that......." Robin began.

"I'll be back but first I have to stop by the hospital with Cassie to check on Charles.  Ihave to be strong for her.  The papers is all signed for the Renovations and I have to get the plane tickets so I won't be back until later on this evening." said Robin.

Cassie overheard and started to feel sad.

"Well boo sooner you get back the better.  I miss you like crazy." said Lulu.

"Yeah me too.  Lulu be glad you won't on that road trip with us.  You would've kill Sage." said Robin.

"You know I would  Who's going to take you the airport?" asked Lulu.

"Well Charles a first but I think either Cassie or her grandparents is going to take me." said Robin.

"Well please get back safe." said Lulu.

"I will." said Robin hanging up.

"Hey you two what's the hold up?" yelled Judge Bradshaw from downstairs.

"We be down in a minute grandpa." said Robin.

"Yeah we're ready." said Cassie sadly.

"Cassie what's wron?" asked Robin.

"I wish you didn't have leave so soon." said Cassie.

"Cassie you know I have to leave today." said Robin.

"I know it just all too fast. I wish I can sleep with you again as well." said Cassie.

"I think one time is enough.  Don't want to make this a habit." said Robin.

"I guess you're right." said Cassie.

"Anyway you got Charles." said Robin.

"Robin didn't last night mean anything to you?" asked Cassie.

"Of course it did.  It was one of the best night ever and I will never forget that but Cassie, Lulu is still my girlfriend and I can't disrespect her like that.  Don't I won't say anything about last night.  But I can't hurt my girlfriend by messing around understand." said Robin.

"Yeah." said Cassie.

"I'll tell you what.  Will it make you feel better if we held hands?" asked Robin.

"Of course.  I will love that Robin." said Cassie.

"Come on you two we don't have all day." yelled Judge Bradshaw from downstairs.

So Cassie and Robin held hands and went downstairs.  The two never let go of eachother.

"Well it's about time." said Judge Bradshaw grabbing the twins.

"Oh look they're holding hands.  Isn't that adorable?" asked Beverly.

"Yeah well it wouldn't kill them to carry one of the those kids" said Judge Bradhaw.

"Sorry Grandpa." said Robin as he grabbed Colin.

"Me too." said Cassie grabbing Kalie from Judge Bradshaw.

Batman642

Soon the twins were strapped into their carseats and everyone was on their way to the hospital.

"How do you think the twins are going to react to seeing their father all banged up?" Robin asked.

"I'm not letting them see Charles like that!" Cassie replied.  "I think they would be terrified.  He looks like a monster, Robin."

"He does?" Robin asked, surprised.

Cassie nodded.  "I could hardly stand looking at him myself.  His face is all swollen and black and blue.  It's so sad..."

"I don't think Charles would want me to see him all jacked up," Robin said.  "You know....his pride and all.  So I'll keep the kids in the lobby with me while the three of you visit him," he offered.

The Judge slammed on the breaks and everyone screamed.

"Hold up!  Wait a minute!  The three of WHO???  I'm not visiting that fool either!  I'll stay with you and help you take care of the twins," Grandpa said.

"Grandpa, please don't talk about Charles like that.  Especially not in front of Colin and Kalie.  They understand a whole lot!" Cassie told him.

"Yes, sweetheart, be good...." Beverly encouraged her husband.

"Sorry, Cassie," he muttered under his breath.

"Grandma, you'll come with me, won't you?" Cassie asked hopeful.

"Of course I will.  Charles needs to see some friendly faces," Beverly agreed.

"Thank you, Grandma," Cassie said relieved and grateful.  "I can't do this alone...."

Robin took Cassie's hand and held it as they rode in the car.

Meanwhile back at Lincoln Heights at Marla's house since Dana and Marla flew to San Diego Jeron decide it was time to make his move and asked Lizzie out.

"So Jeron what are your plans with Lizzie?" asked Tay.

"To have sex with her." joked Jeron.

"SAY WHAT!!!" shocked Tay.

"Just jokin' man...just jokin'" said Jeron.

"Man don't talk about my sister like that." warned Tay.

"Chill yo'...I'm not going to do nothing to Lizzie...maybe except jump her bones." joked Jeron.

"JERON!!!" snapped Tay.

"I was just kidding man...damn you sensitive.  Look all I'm going to do is take her to a movie and out to eat." said Jeron.

"You have enough money?" asked Tay.

"Of course no doubt." said Jeron.

Then Nate came in the room.

"Tay, Jeron, Lizzie is downstairs already umm Mr. & Mrs. Sutton want to talk to all three of you downstairs." said Nate.

"Whatever it is I didn't do it." said Jeron.

"And I'm clean." said Tay.

"I think its regardingwhat happened in San Diego." said Nate.

"Man what is up with your older sister yo?" asked Jeron.

"I don't know. It's never a dull day with Cassie." said Tay.

Batman642

So Eddie and Jenn explained to the three teens and Nate what happened involving Robin, Charles, Sage and Cassie in San Diego.

When Tay found out Sage had been injured, he wanted to know more.
Candygwen

"Is Sage okay?  What happened?" shocked Tay.

"Sage was attacked by a trucker." said Eddie.

"Oh my God...did he?" stunned Lizzie.

"He was going to but Charles stopped him." said Eddie.

"Thank God!!" relieved Tay.

"But unfortunately Charles got hurt and he is in the hospital.  That's why his mother and Dana is flying to San Diego to check on him.  And not worry Cassie is safe with Robin and grandma and grandpa Bradshaw." said Eddie.

"That's good to hear." said Lizzie.

"How's Sage?" asked Tay.

"She is shaken up but I think she'll pull through." said Eddie.

"Will it be okay to see her?" asked Tay.

"I don't think that's a good idea Tay." said Jenn.

"I just want to see if she alright nothing else." said Tay.

"(Sigh) Alright Tay you can go see Sage but don't take too long we still have to fix up the house. It just going to be m, you, Grandpa Spencer, & Nate.  Jeron you can help out too." said Eddie.

"But Mr. Sutton I have plans." said Jeron.

"Well cancel I'm sure your mother would like you to do something more productive." said Eddie.

"Yeah right." said disappointed Jeron.

"What was that?" asked Eddie.

"Nothing sir." said Jeron.

"That's what I thought." said Eddie.

"Damn there's goes my plans with Lizzie." said Tay.

Meanwhile back in San Diego at the Hospital Cassie and Beverly was in the room with Charles.  Charles woke up all bruised up.

"Hey Beautiful." said Charles as he tried to hide the pain.

"Hey." said Cassie.

Batman642

"I'm sorry Cassie," said Charles as his mood lower.

"About what Charles?" asked Cassie as she sood next to him.

"That I look like a beast instead of your prince charming," said Charles as he covered his face, " I can tell it freaks you out"

"Oh Charles don't think like that. Your always my prince charming," said Cassie as she pulled his hands away and kissed him.

"Really? You don't know how happy that makes me feel to know thayou ill love me. Look I know you and Robin have been spending time together, but I just want you to know that I sill in this too and I won't give up the fight for you Cassie. No matter if I'm in your prince charming or not," said Charles as he stroked her face.

Cassie was on the edge of tears as she thought about Robin and how she betrayed Charles.

Beverly cleared her throat.  "Ahem!  Is Cassie the only one you see in this room?" she asked, amused with the young lovers.

"I apologize, Mrs. Bradshaw.  How are you today?" Charles asked extending his hand politely.

She took his hand but instead of shaking it, she just held it and patted it sympathetically.  "You poor, poor boy.....What I'd like to know is how are YOU today?  And tell us the TRUTH."

Charles sat up a little.  "My head hurts a little, and so does my side."

He touched the side of his torso where he was stabbed and felt the large bandage, pulling it back a little.

"Wow......he got me good, didn't he?" Charles remarked as he examined his stab wound.

"Careful, Charles.  You don't want to get it infected," Cassie warned.

"She's right, Charles," Beverly agreed, making a face as she got a glimpse of it.

Charles covered it back up with the bandage.  "I wonder when am I gonna get out of here?"

Beverly smiled.  "Ah......the sign of a recovering patient!  He wants to go home already," she said to Cassie.

Cassie rubbed Charles' head.  "Don't rush things, Charles."

"I want to go to Utah, Cassie.  I can get alot of rest out there," he assured her.

"Look, you two love birds can talk about that.  I'm going back to the lobby to help out with the twins," Beverly interrupted.

She kissed Charles on the cheek.

"Thanks for coming, Mrs. Bradshaw," he said.  "Tell your husband I said hello."

Beverly smiled.  "I definitely will, Charles.  And would you like me to send Robin in next?"
Candygwen

"Thanks but I want to spend time with my girl for awhile." said Charles.

"Okay I'm sure he'll understand. He's out there with Mr. Bradshaw playing with the twins and knowing them they probably chatting already." said Beverly.

Meanwhile Judge Bradshaw & Robin was out in the lobby playinhg with the twins.  Judge Bradshaw thought it was the prefect time to talk to Robin and his relationship with Cassie.

"So Robin my boy.  Tell me what are your plans for the future?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Well I'm going to head back to Sea School this evening and I'll soon own the Revolution and saved the Peace Wall thanks to you." said Robin.

"No no no...I meant what are going plan on doig years to come?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"I thought I told you. I'm going to college and I want to become a writer." said RObin.

"And what about Cassie?" asked  Judge Bradshaw.

"You do you mean?" confused Robin.

"I mean are you going to hook up with granddaughter and get out of the friendzone?" asked Judge Bradshaw with high hopes.

"Sir Cassie and I are just friends...nothing else.  Plus she's really into Charles." said Robin.

"Well don't you like her?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"Of course I like Cassie.  I like her alot but I already have..." as Robin explained Bradhsaw interupted and asked "So what you trying to say is my granddaughter isn't good enough for you?"

"Oh no it's nothing like that.  She's really special." said Robin.

"You damn right.  Don't you think she's pretty?" asked Judge Bradshaw as he tries to persuade Robin to hook up with Cassie.

"Oh yes Cassie is very pretty.  She's gorgeous." said Robin.

"Then what's holding you back?" asked Judge Bradshaw.

"As I say before she's involve with Charles and I'm have a..." Robin explained but Judge Bradshaw interupted again "That shouldn't stop you.  I think you should fight for her affection and let her know  how you feel."

"Sir I don't think you understand.  Cassie is a wonderful girl and I do like her alot but I cannot hook up with her because I already..."So you scared of a little competition.  Well back in my day I wasn't afraid competition I always fought to get what I want.  How you thinkI ended up with Beverly?  Cassie need someone with their head straight and good influence on her.  You're perfect for her."

"Thanks as tempting as it is I have to pass.  I love Cassie and all but I alreadyhave a girl..." Robin tries to explain.

But Judge Bradshaw continued to interupt Robin and kept encouraging him to win Cassie over.  RObin was getting annoyed alittle but he let him rambled on by telling im stories until Beverly came out and stop Bradshaw.

"What kinda lies are you telling this poor child?" snapped Beverly.

"Nothing I just elling him he needs to step up his game." said Judge Bradshaw.

"You know damn Robin doesn't want hear you old foolish stories." said Beverly.

Robin was relieved that Beverly showed up.

"Robin you can see Charles and Cassie now.  Charles say its okay." said Beverly.

"Nah I kinda' like hanging out here." said Robin.

"Oh boy you don't need to be hanging out here with a couple of old people and screaming twins." said Beverly.

"Alright thanks." said Robin.

"Don't forget what I told you." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Leave that boy alone." warned Beverly.

Meanwhile Charles and Cassie was kissing until Robin knocked on the door.

"Mind if I come in." said Robin.

"No come on in." said Charles.

"Yeah it safe...Charles be nice." said Cassie.

"Don't worry I will." said Charles.

"Damn you look fucked up." said Robin.

"I feel fucked up." said Charles.

Batman642

Back at Sea School, Lulu is singing to herself in her room when Tawanna walks in.

"So why you in such a good mood Miss Thang?" Tawanna teased her as she threw her books onto her bed and plopped down, exhausted.

"My Boo is coming back tonight!  Woo-Hoo!  I can't WAIT to see him!" Lulu announced happily.

"Alriiiiiiiiiight!  That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!  It's about time!  Robin was gone so long it seems!"

"I know, I know," Lulu agreed.  "He's been through alot too--not just the funeral, either.  Charles got into a fight and got stabbed and Robin is at the hospital now with Cassie," she explained.

"Man!  The last time you told me about Charles, he tried to shoot Robin playing paintball, and now Charles gets stabbed in a fight and Roibn is by his side at the hospital?  Robin is just too good to be true, girl.  He's like a Saint or something!  You better hold on tight to him and don't let go!" Tawanna advised.

"Don't worry, girl.  I intend to!" Lulu assured her friend.  "Ain't NOBODY gonna steal MY MAN!" she said playfully but serious at the same time.

"Yeah, well, you watch out for Cassie," Tawanna continued giving advice.

"Cassie???  You're crazy, T!" Lulu brushed her off.  "Cassie's the one that got us together in the first place!"

"MMMM HMMMMM.......Whatever.......I'm just sayin......." Tawanna responded, skeptical.

"CASSIE????" Lulu repeated, thinking outloud.

"Watch her, girl......"
Candygwen

"Come on girl you know Cassie is not that kind of girl that would steal Robin away from me.  Besides she is totally into Charles." said Lulu.

"Well from what I heard Charles and Cassie's relationship has been going downhill lately." said Tawanna.

"Cassie says they are trying to work things out.  Look Cassie isn't the kind of person that would do that to me.  You know that." said Lulu.

"Hey I'm just saying.  Cassie and Robin are very close friends and sometime close friends often lead to something else." said Tawanna.

"Will you shut up ! Robin and Cassie would never do that to me." said Lulu as she started to get upset.

"Alright alright calm down girl.  I just saying is to hold on to your man.  Because you never know.  And I know Cassie isn't kind girl.  I just don't want to see you get hurt Lulu." said Tawanna.

"I know." said Tawanna.

"Say since Robin coming back home tonight we better plan a welcome back party for him." said Tawanna.

"That's a great idea.  I'll tell everyone to get ready." said Lulu.

"Cool." said Tawanna.

Meanwhile on the plane Marla was trying to relax while Dana was clinging tight to her seat and frighten because she has never flown in an airplane before.

Batman642

"Dana, you need to loosen up and try to enjoy this flight like I'm trying to," Marla suggested.  "How about some wine?  I'll get the flight attendant to bring you some wine, Dana, okay?"

"She can do that?!" Dana asked, excited.

"Of course she can.  We're riding first class, remember?" Marla boasted as she looked around at the cabin.

"I'm so scared I forgot all about that!" Dana admitted.

"Some help you are!  You're supposed to be keeping me calm and I'm the one that's trying to calm you down!" Marla complained.

"Haven't you ever heard of reverse psychology?" Dana asked.

"Ha!  Don't even try it!  This is no reverse psychology!  You're scared and you know it!"

"Just get me the wine, please!" Dana snapped.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Charles was chatting with Robin & Cassie.

"Hey Robin the reason I call you over here is because...well I can't believe I'm going to say this...don't let it go through your head but I want to thank you for looking after Cassie and the twins." said Charles.


"It's no big deal Charles." said Robin.

"It is a big deal.  You're the only that can keep Cassie from going freaking out.  Look I know we don't see eye to eye and we have our differences.  And I also tripped about you and Cassie's friendship but I do have the upmost respect for you.  I sometimes wish I was as perfect as you." said Charles.

"My life is not that perfect...trust me." said Robin.

"Robin do me a favor if something ever happens to me I want you to look after Cassie and the twins." said Charles.

"Man, stop talking crazy you are going to be alright." said Robin.

"I don't know when that guy stabbed me...I thought I was going to die." said Charles.

"But you are still alive Charles." said Cassie.

"Yeah you'll be out of here soon to hang with Cassie and the twins and you all are going to Utah.  Look Charles you are going to live for a very long time." said Robin.

"When I get out of here beautiful I'm going to do everything I can to make our relationship work.  I'm know I haven't been the best boyfriend to you but I'm going to make it up even if I have to fight." said Charles.

"I know you will." said Cassie.

Then the nurse came in and said visiting ours is now over.  Robin and Cassie said goodbye and left.

"Now you understand why you need to work things out with Charles?" asked Robin.

"Yes, you were right about everything Robin.  Don't I'm going to keep my promise.  I won't tell anyone about our night together." said Cassie.

"That's a relief." said Robin.

"Robin I'm scared what if Charles doesn't make it?" asked Cassie as a tear ran downn face.

"Charles is a tuff dude he's going to pull through.  It's going to take a couple of stab wounds to take him out." said Robin.

"Robin please stay with me.  You don't have to sleep with me or anything.  Just stay a little longer so you can hold me and keep me company." begged Cassie.

"Cassie I would I really would but I really need to get back Sea School.  I don't want to fall behind.  Don't worry I'll be back soon with Lulu.  And Charles will be out of the hospital soon." said Robin.

"You kids ready?" asked Judge Bradsahw.

"Yeah I have to get back and pack my stuff up." said Robin.

"What time you have to be at the airport?" asked Beverly.

"Around four o clock.  My plane is at five o' clock." said Robin.

"I'm going to take Robin to the airport." said Cassie.

"I think it'll be best of the Bradshaws take me." said Robin.

"No they need to relax.  They already drove us to the hospital." said Cassie.

"I think they want to see me fly off." said Robin.

"Robin we are not going to take advantage of my grandparents." said Cassie.

"Oh come Robin let the girl take you to the airport.  Cassie is a good driver and we can keep an eye on the twins." said Judge Bradshaw.

"Alright fine." said Robin.

"Robin I want to say goodbye to you properly.  I haven't gotten a chance to do it the last time." said Cassie.

"I guess I can't argue with that." said Robin.

Then Robin whisper in Cassie's ear...

"You can take me to the airport but just in case you get any ideas about us you think about Charles in that hospital bed and what he said to you." warned Robin.

Batman642

So Robin went home, got his stuff together, kissed Colin, Kalie & Beverly goodbye and shook the Judge's hand.

"Thanks for everything, Sir," Robin said.

"Why so formal all of a sudden?  I'm still Grandpa to you, son," the Judge said as he grabbed Robin and gave him a big bear hug.

"I'll miss you, Grandpa," Robin said, trying to catch his breath.

"Since you'll be on the boat, maybe you can do that video stuff you were telling me about and we can keep in touch that way," he suggested.

"Good idea.  While Cassie's in Utah, you and I can keep in touch with the video phone.  Let her teach you how to use it, okay?"

The Judge smiled.  "Definitely.  Have a safe trip, Robin."

Cassie and Robin drove to the airport and she parked the car and they walked into the terminal together.  As Robin was getting checked in, Cassie looked around and was stunned to see Marla and Dana walking through the terminal.

"OMG!  Mrs. A!  Dana!" she called out as she ran towards them leaving Robin at the counter.

Both women looked around to see who was calling them, and Dana saw her first.

"Cassie!!" she responded.  "Marla, it's Cassie!!"

The three of them hugged and kissed in the middle of the terminal.
Candygwen

"OMG what are you two doing here?" surprised Cassie.

"To see Charles of course." said Marla.

"Yeah you Dad told us everything when he got back." said Dana.

"How's my son?" asked Marla.

"He's in bad shape." said Cassie.

"Oh no." shocked Marla.

"But nothing major.  He's just ruffed up a bit.  We visit at the hospital earlier." said Cassie.

"So what brings you at the terminal?" asked Dana.

"Actually I took Robin so he can get back to Sea School." said Robin.

"Hmm hmm." said Marla & Dana suspiciously.

"It's nothing like that.  I want to say good-bye to properly.  Never got a chance to do it th last time." said Cassie.

"That's understandable." said Marla.

"And I promise him that I would try to work things out with Charles." said Cassie.

"Well you should." said Dana.

"Where is Robin?" asked Marla.

"He's getting everything checked in.  Oh I almst forgot Robin talked to Grandfather about the Renovation for the Peace & The Revolution and he agreed to help.  The papers are signed and everything.  We can reopend the Rev and most of all the Peace Wall is saved." said Cassie.

"That's wonderful news Cassie." said Marla.

"Thank God thanks to Robin Lincoln Heights still has hope." said Dana.

Then Robin came out.

"Hey Cassie my plane doesn't for another hour so do want to wait with me?" asked Robin.

"Of course." said Cassie.

"Hey Robin." greeted Dana.

"Dana! Mrs.A! What are you two doing here?" surprsied Robin.

Batman642

So they quickly explained to Robin how they found out about Charles and then apologized for having to rush off so quickly.

"If Charles wasn't in the hospital, I'd hang around with you two and get to know you a little better, Robin," Marla said.

"Maybe next time, Mrs. Antoni.  I understand," Robin sympathized.  "And don't worry, your son is a fighter."

Marla gave Robin a look.  "You don't have to tell me that.  I'm a fighter myself and I taught him everything he knows," she said proudly.

"No offense," Robin replied quickly.

"None taken," she assured him.  Then she kissed Cassie.  "I'll see you a little later, okay Cassie?"

"Sure Mrs. A.  How are you getting to the hospital?"

"We've got a rental waiting for us at Avis!" Marla said as she grabbed Dana's hand and started pulling her away.

"Bye Robin!" Dana yelled over her shoulder, trying to keep up with Marla.

"Bye Dana!  Take Care!" he yelled back, waving.

"GIVE MY LOVE TO LULU!!!!" Dana screamed even louder as she and Marla got farther and farther away.

Marla yanked Dana's arm.  "Stop screaming like that in the airport!" she reprimanded her, embarrassed.

"What?!" Dana responded, yanking her arm back.

Marla sucked her teeth.  "You are so ghetto....." she mumbled.

"Don't start with me Marla......" Dana warned as they continued hurrying towards the Avis counter.

Meanwhile, Cassie and Robin had some time to kill.........
Candygwen

So they walked around the airport as they were walking Robin bought a bag of popcorn and both shared it.  Soon the two started holding hands.  However Cassie was sadly quiet.

"Is everything alright Cassie?" asked Robin.

"Yeah...I guess." sadden Cassie.

"Are you still worried Charles?" asked Robin.

"No it's not that...it just that it seems like we always saying good-bye to each other." said hurtful Cassie.

"I know.  I don't want to leave either." said Robin.

"Damn Robin why did you have to sign up for Sea School?" upset Cassie.

"Because I want to see the world." said Robin.

"I really wish you didn't have to go." said Cassie.

"Cassie I have to go back you know that." said Robin.

"I know that but it hurts me when you leave." said Cassie.

"Cassie I'll be back soon." said Robin.

"But I'm my heart empty without you." said Cassie.

"Oh Cassie you got Charles." said Robin.

"Perhaps but he keep sayig he'll change but we keep having problems and everytime that Charles and I are together something always goes wrong. Something or someone always stand in the way in our relationship." said Cassie.

"Cassie relationships isn't perfect.  It never is.  Lulu and I relationship isn't exactly perfect neither but we always work things out and talk  and listen to each other.  You have to do the same.  You have try and fight." said Cassie.

"Robin can I ask you something.  When we slept together...again last night how did it make you feel?" asked Cassie.

Robin paused for a minute.

"(Sigh) I liked it but at the same time I felt the same way you felt when we had sex on the cruise.  Last night should not have happened." said Robin.

"Yeah I felt little ashamed myself but only difference this time I wanted to sleep with you.  And I'm happy I did that.  I felt warm and comfortable being close to you and being held by you.  With you always felt a connection with you.  I actually heard bells. Come on Robin you have to feel the same way.  Didn't that feel special.  I feel like you really love me.  Do you really love me Robin?" curious Cassie.

"Yes I love you very much and last meant alot to me as well." said Robin as he shamefully admit.

"I have a feeling there's a but coming along." said Cassie.

"Yes Cassie even though I felt a connection with you, Lulu is still my girlfriend and I cannot betray her like that.  That is why I want to make this one time only because what we did wasn't right.  Your Grandma almost found out remember." said Robin.

"Yeah I see what you mean." said Cassie.

"Things would've gotten ugly if you grandparent found out we lied to them and we both had sex." said Robin.

"What do you want then?" asked Cassie.

"I want you to try to work things out with Charles and fight for your relationship.  You & I will always be friends but we have to do right by Charles & Lulu.  Don't worry I won't say anything to Lulu if you don't mention this to Charles." said Robin.

"Robin a promise is a promise.  I won't say anything." said Cassie.

"And I promise if things don't work out with Lulu I will definietly hook up with if things get very bad with Charles." said Robin.

"Thanks Robin hearing that really makes me feel better." said Cassie.

"Just be a the best girlfriend you can to him as much as you want him to be the boyfriend to you." said Robin.

"It's a deal." said Cassie.

Then suddenly the two saw Robin plane arrived.

"That's my plane I've better get going and Cassie thanks for being there for me the whole week." said Robin.

"And thank you for saving the Peace Wall.  You really gave me hope this time." said Cassie.

"That's what friends are for." said Robin.

The two held eachother and hugged.  Then they were holding hands and staring at eachother soon the two started kissed passionly.  It was a very long kiss and they didn't want to let go until the airliner said the plane will take off soon. So Robin said goodbye to Cassie and that he will keep in touch with her.  Soon Robin got on the plane and it took off.  As Cassie saw the plane take off, tears started to run down Cassie's face and she was in tears.

"Oh Robin I love you so much...please come back to me." cried Cassie.

Batman642

Meanwhile Marla and Dana arrived at the hospital and found Charles fast asleep in his room.  They tiptoed closer to the bed, not wanting to disturb him.

Marla gasped and covered her mouth as she took a good look at her son.  "Dana!" she whispered.  "Look at his face!!!"

Dana put her arms around Marla for moral support.  "Be strong, girl.  It looks worse than it is," she assured her friend.

"Oh my God....." Marla sighed, not believing her eyes. 

She didn't want to disturb Charles, but she couldn't help but touch his f
