The Pampa Grill

"I can't believe what I'm hearing," Clayton huffs back to Nicholas and Andy. Clayton asked the two men to join him for breakfast so they could try to resolve the situation that is occurring between them as he slept with both men within 24 hours of each other. Clayton had admitted that he and Andy's fling just happened while he and Nicholas had a mutual attraction that built towards their sexual encounter. Clayton, however, was stunned to hear that Nicholas say that he still cares about Andy. "You are still in love with Andy? What the hell is this?"

Nicholas looks back at Clayton and finds himself nodding back to him. "I know that we had a couple of dates, Clayton, but if I am honest, I never stopped loving Andy."

Andy grabs Nicholas' hand and they lock eyes. "Do you mean that? You never wanted to be with Clayton?"

"You know that you're always the one that has been in my heart," Nicholas replies to him. "I know that this all got complicated by our connections to Clayton, but at the end of the day, I never stopped caring about you."

"I suppose if I am honest, I feel the same way," Andy admits to him. "The entire reason that I was so worked up at the thought of you and Clayton dating was because I still care about you. I never stopped."

"Well this is just great," Clayton sighs back to them. "You two are getting back together and leaving me, what? Out in the cold?"

"We never meant to hurt you," Nicholas looks back at him. "But we can't lie about how we feel, Clayton. Andy and I, we've been through a lot together. You will find someone one day too, it's just not one of us."

"I'm really glad that I got us together today," Clayton hisses back to them. "I can see that I'm no longer needed here."

"Clayton wait," Andy stands up and tries to stop Clayton from leaving, but he is unsuccessful as Clayton leaves the restaurant. Andy sits back down and looks at Nicholas. "Well, I didn't expect this today."

"Me either," Nicholas looks back at him. "But I'm glad we got this all sorted out because if I'm honest, I do want to be with you, Andy."

Andy leans up and kisses him on the lips. "I never stopped loving you either Nicholas. I still think we need to have some discussions about what Clayton meant to both of us, but I'm willing to work with you on putting us back together."

"Me too," Nicholas smiles back to him. "Me too."

The Pampa Grill

"Have the two of you heard anything at all from Frederick since the TV appearance?" Daisy asks Meggan and Lukas as the three of them sit at another table in the restaurant. Daisy is curious to know if her half-siblings have heard from their father since they discovered that he is alive and after Meggan and Lukas pleaded with him to come back to town on live TV.

"I haven't heard anything," Meggan sighs back to her before she looks over at Lukas. "Have you heard anything?"

"Nope," Lukas quickly replies to them. "But considering how estranged Dad and I were he when was shot all those years ago, I don't know that I would be the one he reached out to in the first place?"

"It's only been a couple of days," Daisy tells them. "Maybe he is still trying to reach us somehow?"

"Or maybe he didn't see the broadcast at all?" Meggan says back to them. "The longer we go without hearing anything from him, the more I worry he doesn't know that we want him to come home."

"I hope I'm not interrupting," a voice says from behind Lukas. He turns and sees Leah standing behind him which causes him to roll his eyes. He still is skeptical if Frederick is Leah's father and that is one reason he wants his father to come home, so they can figure this out once and for all. "I was hoping to find out if you had heard anything from Frederick? Has he been in touch with anyone?"

"We were just discussing this," Daisy looks back at her. "We haven't heard anything from Frederick yet but we are still hopeful."

Leah sighs back to the group as she knows that her future is really depending on Frederick coming back into town. Not only could she learn if he is really her father but he could tell her where her long lost child is; she desperately wants to know where the child that she gave birth to in Santa Barbara is and he could be the only one to tell her.

"Well, I'll keep praying then," she replies to everyone. "Because my entire future is based on him coming home."

The Sugarbowl

Shane grabs his latte from the barista and moves to the coffee bar to put a lid on his drink. He takes a sip of it and thinks back to how he was at the coffeehouse the previous day when he ran into Helen. He revealed to her that Robin was furious with him when he told her the truth about he and Helen schemed to split up her romance with Adam. He then revealed to Helen that he and Robin made love the previous night; she suggested that they tell Adam but Shane was skeptical because he doesn't want to get involved again, which could further aggravate Robin.

He turns to leave as he has to get to the hospital for his shift but he freezes when he sees Adam move into the coffeehouse. The last person he wanted to run into this morning was Adam. Shane puts his head down and moves towards the door, hoping that Adam won't see him.

"You were going to leave without saying good morning?" Adam stops Shane from leaving and gets a sly grin on his face. "That's not very nice of you."

Shane looks back at his rival and uneasily smiles back to him. "Morning Adam."

"I guess you haven't heard the latest," Adam replies to him quickly. "Robin and I, we've reunited. We are back together."

"Is that so?" Shane asks him back, annoyed by Adam's cockiness. "Has she been honest about everything?"

"We were both honest about everything," Adam tells him. "Everything is finally out in the open between us. We have no more secrets, lies or deception coming between us. After you and Helen's lies were exposed, this was inevitable, don't you think?"

"Hmm," Shane looks back at him. "So, the other day when you came over to my place and demanded that I tell Robin the truth, did she tell you about the night before?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Robin and I," Shane smirks back to him as Adam feels his blood start to boil. "We made love all night long, Adam. So while you and her may have reunited, that night will forever be between Robin and I, as husband and wife."

The Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home

Robin slowly steps out of her car and looks up at the large two story home that Helen and Dawn live in. Robin knows that Adam has spent years in the house with Helen as they raised Dawn together while they were married. But that is all in the past and she and Adam reunited the previous day and they made love to recommit to one another. Now, all Robin has to do is make one thing clear to Helen.

She knocks on the door and waits for it to open. Helen's smile quickly vanishes when she sees Robin standing on the other side of the door. "Are you going to let me in? It's freezing out here?"

"I'm tempted to let you freeze out there," Helen uneasily replies to her as she opens the door. "But I'm not sure you'd make a good snowwoman."

"Very funny," Robin rolls her eyes back to her. "I won't stay long but I had to see you, Helen."

"I know that you know what Shane and I did," Helen replies to her quickly. "So, if you're here to rack me over the coals, you can save your breath. There's nothing you can say to me that I haven't told myself."

"You have a lot of nerve," Robin glares back to her. "Not only did you decide to play God with mine and Adam's life but now you're acting like the victim? You're pathetic."

"Very good," Helen sneers back to her. "Do you feel better now?"

"Only one thing will make me feel better," Robin replies to her. "And it is if you stay the hell away from me and Adam. If you don't, you will answer to me, Helen. And that is something that you don't want, trust me."

The Davenport House; Chris, Trenyce & Andrew's Home

"Well, BJ is finally went down for his nap," Trenyce says as she moves into the living room of the house that she lives in and sees Chris pouring himself a drink at the bar. "He was fussy today, I am exhausted and it's not even noon."

Chris takes a sip of his water and looks back at Trenyce. "Why don't you put your feet up for a while? I can take care of anything that needs to be done around the house."

"I might just take you up on that offer," Trenyce smirks as she moves to the sofa and puts her feet up on the coffee table. "This feels good, I have to be honest."

Chris chuckles back to her. "This will give us a couple of minutes to talk?"

"Sure? What is it? Was BJ keeping you up last night?"

"Well there's that," Chris winks back to her. "But he will grow out of that. What I was hoping to talk to you about is Andrew."

"Andrew?" she arches her eyebrow as she immediately feels like her heart starts to race. She hopes that he hasn't, somehow, discovered that she and Andrew have shared a few kisses. She pleaded with Cheresa to not say anything until after Christmas, but she knows how much her daughter hates keeping a secret. "What about Andrew?"

"He's living here," Chris moves to the sofa and sits next to her. "Now that you and I have reunited, do you think he should still be here? You and I could use the privacy?"

Trenyce uneasily gulps back to him. "I suppose that's true but it is Christmas time, Chris. He is like family to us, I don't know that this is the right time to ask him to leave, do you?"

"That's a fair point," Chris nods back to her. "How about we give it to after the holidays? Then we can ask him to find his own place?"

Trenyce forces a smile on her face. "Sure, let's see how it goes and we can talk about it more after the holidays."

Dominick's Townhouse

"Yes, well, I would like to have this all completed by Christmas if that is possible," Dominick says into his phone as he stands in the living room of his townhouse. He is speaking to his lawyer as he wants his will updated accordingly now that he has married Abby. He is hoping to surprise her with the updated will as part of her Christmas present this year.

Felicia slowly moves into the living room and pours herself a gin from the bar as she tries not to listen too closely to Dominick's phone call. She arches her eyebrow however when she realizes what he is talking about.

"Very well, have the final draft of the will emailed to me by the end of the day and I will review," Dominick says back to his lawyer. "Thanks in advance."

"You're updating your will?" Felicia asks him as he hangs up his cell phone. "What brought this on?"

Dominick uneasily looks back at his ex-wife as he knows that she has not been supportive of his marriage to Abby; in fact, she has been against the relationship before they even got married. "I'm not sure this concerns you, Felicia. The last thing I want to do is to get into another argument with you."

"I don't want that either," Felicia sighs back to him. "I just want you to understand what you are doing. Does this have anything to do with Abigail and your marriage to her?"

Dominick pours himself a drink before he looks back at her. "What kind of husband would I be if I didn't leave my new wife something after I pass on?"

"Oh Dominick," Felicia shakes her head back to him. "Was this her idea? Did Abby put you up to this?"

"No, she didn't. She was surprised when I told her that I was updating my will," he informs her. "She had no idea. You have this crazy notion that Abby is only after my money and that couldn't be further from the truth, Felicia. You have to stop this nonsense, please?"

"I won't," Felicia warns him. "Because you need to think about the ramifications of leaving everything to that gold digger! Is that really how you want your family to remember you? It's not too late to change this, Dominick, but you have to act now. Don't wait, do it now. For all of our sakes, please."

Robertson Enterprises

"Knock, knock," Kim says as she taps the door of the main office at Robertson Enterprises and moves inside where she sees Tyler sitting behind his desk. "I hope this is a good time."

"Kim," Tyler stands up and gives her a hug. "You know that I can always make time for you, especially knowing what you're going through right now."

"Thanks," Kim forces a smile on her face as she recalls how recently she and Tyler shared a close moment as her miscarriage has brought up memories of losing Blake. They both went through that incredibly dark period together and so she feels like Tyler can truly understand her pain and grief right now. "I guess I wanted to see how you're doing. I heard that Cheresa quit modelling here."

"That she did," Tyler uneasily nods back to her. "She's going through a lot of post-traumatic stress as a result of the kidnapping and she doesn't believe that she will ever model again."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Kim replies to him quickly. "I wish that this had never happened."

"I don't mean to be rude about this," Tyler looks back at her. "But I still blame Robbie for all of this. Had he not hired Tara, Cheresa never would have been kidnapped."

"I couldn't agree more," Kim purses her lips together. "He knows that I think he is responsible for my baby dying as well."

"That couldn't have been easy for him to hear?"

"We aren't in a good place right now," Kim admits to him. "If I am honest with you, Tyler, I don't think my marriage will survive this. Every time I look at Robbie, all I can think of is that he cost me my child."

Tyler moves up to her and pulls her into a hug. "I think that is a very natural way to feel," he whispers to her. "And, if it makes you feel any better, I don't think my relationship with Natasha will survive this either."

Kim arches her eyebrow back to him as they exit their embrace. "Really? I thought you two were tight?"

"Until her brother attacked my company and she refuses to see it from my perspective. She defends Robbie all the time and it makes my blood boil."

Kim chuckles back to him. "Those Calimo children always have each other's backs, take it from me."

"How did we get here, huh? Both of us on the brink of losing our relationships?"

Kim looks back into his eyes. "I wish I knew the answer to that, I really do."

The Towers; Floor Seven; Madeline & Clayton's Condo

"You seem to be in a foul mood," Madeline chuckles to Clayton as he slams the door to their condo and moves inside the living room. "What's going on? Anything you want to talk about?"

Clayton runs his hands through his hair before he looks back at his sister. "I hate men, that about sums it up."

Madeline chuckles back to him. "Yea, they can be a handful sometimes. But when things are good, they are truly worth it."

"Ugh," Clayton groans. "Does that mean things are going well with you and Will?"

"Here drink this," Madeline says as she passes him a glass of wine. "You look like you need it. And things are…good, yes but not without complications."

"What does that mean?" Clayton asks her as he takes a sip of his wine.

"He was in love with a woman who died earlier this year," Madeline reveals to him. "Apparently, he has been thinking about her lately. Can you believe it? I'm competing with a ghost!"

"Yikes," Clayton uneasily chuckles back to her. "What are you going to do?"

"I mean," Madeline says back to him. "What can I do other than support him? We all grieve differently, you know?"

"That's a very good way to look at it," he tells his sister. "I don't know that I would be that supportive."

"You would if you cared about someone the way I care about Will. Enough of that, what's up with you? Did your date with Nicholas not go as planned?"

"Oh it went better than I thought," Clayton tells her quickly. "We made love, Madeline."

"Then what is the problem?"

"He still loves Andy," Clayton reveals to her. "I was with the two of them earlier and they basically got back together in front of me, leaving me completely out in the cold."

"Damn, I am sorry to hear that," Madeline tells him. "I knew that they still cared for one another but it sounds like they were insensitive."

"That's putting it mildly."

"What are you going to do?"

Clayton uneasily smirks bac to her. "The only thing I can do, fight for the man that I want to be with."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas & Donovan's Home

"I take it that the meeting your with your family didn't go as planned?" Jasper asks Lukas as he moves into the living room of the mansion that he is working in as Olly's nanny. "And before you ask, Olly just went down for his nap."

"Good, thanks," Lukas looks back at his lover and smiles. "I'm glad that Olly is down. I did have a hell of a morning, I can say that much."

Jasper moves closer to him. "I guess that answers my next question….no news about your Dad?"

"Nope, none," Lukas replies to him. "But this entire thing is such a mess. I just wish it would go away, to be honest. I would much rather focus on Christmas and Donovan."

"On that front," Jasper continues to look at him. "Donovan was visited by his doctor earlier today and he hasn't left his room yet today. So, we are alone."

Lukas looks back at him in surprise. "What are you doing?"

Jasper chuckles back to him. "I'm horny," he admits to him. "You're clearly worked up. We are basically alone … we could benefit one another."

Donovan, meanwhile, opens the door to his bedroom and slowly walks out into the hallway. He believes that Lukas is out with his family still and so he is taking the time to practice walking around more. He still wants to surprise Lukas on Christmas with the fact that he can walk. He uses the wall to hold himself up as he walks slowly towards the living room.

Back in the living room, Lukas looks back at Jasper in surprise. "What the hell are you doing? We agreed to end this, Jasper?"

"I know, but I can't help but try. You are interested, aren't you?"

"Ugh," Lukas groans back to him. "It's not fair! You have to stop this."

Jasper moves closer to him. "I could stop or…" he says as he puts his hands on Lukas' chest.

Donovan, meanwhile, hears noises in the living room and wonders what is going on. "Maybe I could surprise Lukas now if he is home. Maybe I could tell him that I'm walking again."
