Twin Peaks General Hospital

"You're not saying anything," Adam glares back to Helen as they stand in the waiting room of the hospital. They just finished learning that Robin only suffered a mild concussion from her fall down the stairs but both Adam and Shane are pressing Helen for more information about how and why Robin fell down the stairs in the first place.

Helen takes a deep breath as she knows that neither man will be pleased that she and Robin were fighting when the fall took place. "I'm not saying anything because I am embarrassed," she finally says back to them.

"Why would you be embarrassed?" Shane asks her as he moves closer to her.

"Because," Helen bites her lower lip. "Robin and I, we were fighting. It got physical."

"What?" Adam gasps back to her. "You and Helen were fighting? Over what? Or do I even have to ask?"

"She showed up wanting to know about me being in Paris," Helen starts to explain back to them. "She was furious and demanded that I tell her that I was going to move on from you, Adam. I tried to walk away but she approached me and that's why we fought."

"I can't believe this," Shane shakes his head in disgust. "I think it would be for the best if you kept your distance from Robin. If you'll excuse me, I have to go check on some patients."

Shane quickly leaves the waiting room while Adam continues to glare at Helen. "Please," Helen says as her eyes fill with water. "Don't look at me like that. I feel bad enough as it is."

"You should feel bad," Adam grits his teeth together, still stunned that and Robin had a physical fight. "Both of you should. You're grown women, it's time you start acting like it!"

"I know," Helen nods as a tear falls down her cheek. "I'm sorry."

"You damn well better be," Adam continues to lash out at her. "Because, this better not happen again Helen, not ever."

Cheresa moves into the nurses' station and puts some files down on the counter. She has finally started to intern at the hospital as she wants to become a doctor, just like Greg. She looks at her watch and realizes that her shift is almost over, which is perfect because Abby has called a family meeting that she has to get too. She grabs her bottle of water and is about to leave for the employee locker room when Dawn approaches the nurses station.

"I was hoping you'd still be here," Dawn announces to her ex-girlfriend. Dawn hasn't been able to stop thinking about the fact that Cheresa broke up with her because she told Trenyce that Cheresa knew she slept with Brad. The last thing in the world Dawn wanted was for Cheresa to end things with her. "How was the internship today?"

"It was fine," Cheresa uneasily nods back to her. "It is nice to know that I have a purpose, something to work towards, you know?"

Dawn uneasily nods back to her. "I get that. I've been trying to figure out my next career move myself."

"You're a talented woman, I'm sure you'll do great no matter what you decide."

"Thanks," Dawn forces a smile back to her. "Can I walk you to your locker?"

"Uh, sure?" Cheresa uneasily says back to her.

"I just wanted to take this time to apologize to you again Cheresa," Dawn admits to her as they slowly walk through the hospital. "I know that you told me not to tell Trenyce anything and I didn't mean too. I know that it's not an excuse or anything, but it is the truth."

"I don't think you meant any harm by it Dawn," Cheresa stops and looks her in the eyes. "But the fact is, you did betray my trust and I had to act accordingly. So, I appreciate that you're sorry but it doesn't change my about you and I. We are still over, I have to be with someone that I can trust and right now, I can't trust you."

Dawn grabs her hand. "I just hope that one day you will realize that I love you, Cheresa. And that you will find it in your heart to forgive me because I didn't mean to hurt you, that was the last thing I wanted to do."

The Pampa Grill

"Are you sure that I can't get you anything to eat? I don't mind paying for something," Trenyce tells Brad as they sit across from one another in the back booth of the restaurant. Trenyce had hoped to get some kind of update from Brad on Daisy's disappearance; although with everything else going on in her life, she has sometimes forgotten that the case is still pending. With every day that passes, however, she is forced to think that her Aunt is really dead.

"Yea, I'm good. Abby called a family meeting," Brad says back to her. "I'm sure there will be food there."

"I hope everything is okay with your family?"

"I am sure it is fine," Brad nods back to her. "It can't be anything as bad as what we went through last fall. I'm glad I am seeing you though, I've been meaning to tell you that I am sorry."

"Sorry? What on earth for?" Trenyce asks him in surprise.

"Chris knows about us," he reveals to her. "Which means Cheresa might find out. I'm sure Chris will be itching to tell her."

"She already knows," Trenyce stuns him by her revelation. "It's why she's been so distant from me lately. Apparently she saw us the night before Brooke's trial."

Brad shakes his head in horror. "She's been cold with me too I guess it all makes sense now. I'm sorry, Trey. What can I do, what can we do to make this right?"

Trenyce sighs back to him. "I have no idea," she admits to him. "But I won't let this ruin my chance to have a relationship with my daughter. I can't lose her, not after it took so long to find her."

***

At the bar, Kim slowly picks up her martini glass and takes a healthy sip of the liquid inside. She feels like she has a lot on her mind right now with the fact that Andy is struggling with his visions of Reese, how Roboto is in deep water because of Dominick's scheme to beat them to the shelves with a copycat product and because Robbie is furious with her for sleeping with Greg. Since Robbie discovered that she and Greg have been sleeping together, he now suspects that she was cheating on Bob before he passed away, which she knows is not the case.

"What the hell am I going to do?" she asks herself as she takes another sip of her martini. "The last thing that I want is for Robbie to think that I was sleeping with Greg while Bob was still alive. I have to make him understand that this is all so new for us."

Before she can say anything else, Will approaches her at the bar. "Hey, I'm glad I ran into you," Will says as he sits next to her. Will has been eager to tell Kim the latest updates from him and Eva's love making a few days earlier. He almost can't believe that they had sex himself, but he is so glad that it finally happened again.

"Will," Kim looks behind her to make sure no one can see them together. "Whatever this is, you better be quick. The last thing I need is for anyone to see us together."

"I know," Will uneasily smiles back to her. "I just thought you'd want to know that Eva and I made love the other night. You wanting to implode Dominick's marriage is on track."

Kim gets a wicked grin on her face. "I can't believe it happened already! Eva must have been needing more attention. Good job, Will! Keep it up, okay? I'll be in touch with the next phase of our plan."

Will nods back to her. "Sounds good," he says as he stands up. "Just do me a favor and make sure that Eva doesn't hurt in the process. The last thing I want is for the woman I love to be hurt."

The Tower's; The Penthouse; Cory's Home

"How did it go when you saw Jeff?" Cory asks Leah as he pours two glasses of white wine and then moves from the bar to the sofa where his lover is sitting. He passes her a glass of the chardonnay and waits for her answer as he is curious about how their conversation went. He knows that Leah has not been happy with her ex-husband because he has been going around telling people about their affair. Neither one of them expected so many people to be upset by their romance but a lot of their friends and family have expressed their disappointment in Cory and Leah.

Leah takes a sip of the wine before she looks back at him. "I basically told him that his quest for revenge will end up leaving him alone and without anyone in his corner," she reveals to him. "He didn't seem very happy with me but I don't care. He is going around creating unnecessary chaos."

"I'm glad that you had the conversation with him none the less," Cory tells her. "He has to know the damage he's caused with our relationships with Robin and with Paige."

"I don't think he cares," Leah shrugs back to him. "All Jeff wanted was to create the same pain he felt when he found out about Logan being his son."

"Despite all of this, Leah," Cory looks back into her eyes. "I hope you know how much I have been enjoying being with you. I never thought that I would feel this way about a woman again."

Leah blushes a little. "I know," she nods back to him. "I feel the exact same way. We are lucky to have found each other."

"Very lucky," he licks his lips a little before he leans up and kisses her quickly. "That being said, I do feel like I need a new purpose, you know? It's been years since I sold my club. It's time I get back to working on something."

Leah arches her eyebrow back to him. "What do you think you want to do?"

"That is the million dollar question," he nods back to her. "What does my future hold?"

Roboto; The Main Office

Cassie sits behind the main desk in the Roboto office and furiously types into her laptop. She has to continue to give the illusion that she is working hard to ensure that Roboto comes up with a new product that will help compete with Robertson Enterprises. Secretly, however, she is thrilled that Dominick was able to launch his serum before Roboto; her plan is slowly working but she knows that there is still more to do, a lot more.

She freezes when she hears the door open as she expects it to be Robbie, Natasha or Kim coming in. "Mom, I'm glad you're here, I really need to talk to you."

Cassie turns and sees Max moving into the office. "Max, baby, is everything okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine," he says as they hug quickly. "I am just hoping that I can run something by you."

"You can tell me anything, you know that."

"Thanks," Max smiles back to her. "It's about Paige."

Cassie seemingly gets excited as she knows her son has been trying to get back together with her. If that happens, she will be able to try to get back together with Jacob, which is exactly what she wants.

"Have there been any improvements there?" she asks him back. "I know you have wanted to get back together with her."

"We aren't back together if that's what you're thinking," he reveals to his mother. "But, she has been a lot more receptive to me lately. She said she has forgiven me for everything that went down between us."

"Max! This is great news," Cassie beams back to him. "It won't be long before you two are back together."

"That's just it," Max says back to her. "I still need to figure out how I am going to break up Paige and Jacob. I have to figure this, Mom."

"Don't worry Max," Cassie replies to him. "You're my son, when you want something, you will make it happen. I have faith in you."

The Lawson Estate; Greg, Brooke, Brad, Abby & Cheresa's Home

The Lawson's are all sitting in the living room of the lavish estate. Greg slowly takes a sip of his scotch as he has not been back in his home in several weeks because he moved out. He wasn't going to come but Abby pressed him that it was key that the entire family was together for her family meeting.

Brooke looks across the room at Greg and tries to smile to him. While she has seemingly given up on the idea of them getting back together, she is trying to be civil since Greg agreed to give her more money as a part of their divorce settlement.

"Does anyone have any idea what this is about?" Brad finally breaks the silence between the family members.

Cheresa doesn't look up from her phone as she doesn't want to reveal Abby's news that she is pregnant because she knows it's not her secret to tell.

"I have no idea," Brooke purses her lips together. "But I hope Abby shows up soon. I'm dying to find out what her news is."

"Sorry to keep you all waiting," Abby announces as she moves into the living room with Andrew following her. "I was waiting for Andrew to arrive."

"It's fine sweetheart, you're here now," Greg gives her a quick hug. "So, tell us, what is this news you have to share?"

Abby nervously looks over at Andrew, who nods in encouragement before she takes a deep breath. "I need you all to know that … I'm pregnant."

"What?" Brooke gasps back to her. "My daughter is having a baby?"

"Yes," Abby continues as she looks at her family. "Andrew and I have decided, however, that we are going to put the baby up for adoption. Neither one of us are truly ready to be parents."

"This is all so extreme," Brad shakes his head in disbelief. "You couldn't have just told us one thing?"

Abby uneasily chuckles. "I'm sorry. When we found out about the baby, it was a shock. I didn't want to say anything until I, until we," she grabs Andrew's hand. "Figured out what we wanted to do. And, this is our decision. I hope you all respect that."

"Of course we do," Greg stands up and hugs his daughter again. "I certainly wish that you had come to us sooner so we could have supported you, but if you feel like this is what you want, then this is how it will be."

Abby exits the embrace from her father and looks over at Brooke, who is devastated that she will be losing her grandchild. "Mom? Are you okay?"

Brooke stands up and rushes out of the room. "She'll be fine," Greg tries to tell his daughter. "Just give her time."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Shane slowly walks up to Robin's hospital room door and peers through the window. He can see that she is awake and resting in the bed, which is a good sign since she was unconscious when she was brought in. He still can't believe that Helen and Robin had a fight that resulted in Robin falling down a flight of stairs. He just hopes that both women have learned their lesson.

"Knock, knock," he says as he opens the door as Robin turns and faces her friend. "How are you feeling?"

"Much better," Robin looks back at him. "Do you have my discharge papers? I'm hoping that I won't have to stay long in here. I hate hospitals."

"You have a bad fall, Robin," Shane reminds her. "I want to keep you here overnight, just to be safe."

"Only if you think it's for the best."

"I do," Shane nods back to her. "I'm glad you're awake because I actually have to talk to you about something."

"What is it?" Robin asks him concerned.

"When you came in, you were unconscious, so I ran a variety of tests," Shane explains as he moves closer to her bed. "I just wanted to figure out the extend of any possible injuries."

Robin arches her eyebrow back to him. "Okay? I'm not sure what you're getting at."

"You're pregnant Robin," Shane stuns her by his news.

"What?" she gasps back to him. "How is this possible?"

Shane uneasily chuckles back to her. "You know how it is possible," he winks back to her. "I haven't told anyone else, I thought you should be the only one to know. But based on how far along you are, I think it's a good assumption that I might be the father."

Robin feels the blood drain from her face at the thought that she is pregnant with Shane's baby. "Hey, are you okay? You look pale suddenly," Shane observes to her.

"Uh, yea," Robin uneasily says back to him. "I'm just trying to process all of this. Pregnant? Me? And you're that father?" she asks again as Shane smiles back to her.
