"Dr. Evans," Jenny began as everything suddenly started falling into place, "you're Eric's mom."
"That's right." Marlena smiled at her as John walked over to them.
"Hi Jenny." John greeted her with a smile.
"You all know each other?" Eric asked confused.
"Jenny works for me Eric." Marlena explained to her son.
"I didn't know that." Eric said looking at Jenny. "You never told me that you worked for my mom."
"I didn't know that she was your mom." Jenny explained to him.
"How are you doing Jenny?" John asked smiling at her.
"I'm good John." Jenny smiled at him. "How are Brady and Belle doing?"
"They're still talking about your Game Boy." he replied. "They just get so excited about those kind of things."
"They are so adorable." Jenny added.
"That's funny that you two know each other." John laughed lightly as he looked at Eric and Jenny. "I told Doc that she should've introduced you two."
"John, how do you know Jenny?" Roman asked confused by the whole situation.
"I met her the other day when I brought the kids by to see Doc." John explained looking at Marlena.
"I told you there was something funny about her." Sami whispered into Eric's ear as he watched the exchange between Jenny, Marlena, and John. "I now see why you're having second thoughts about mom and dad getting back together."
"You know I think that I left a few of the trays in the kitchen still." Marlena began tensing up. "I better go get them."
"Hey, I'll help you with those." John called out following her into the kitchen.
"Eric, do you think that your mom is acting strange tonight?" Roman asked as Marlena and John disappeared into the kitchen.
"John what if she slips up and mentions something about the two of us to Roman?" Marlena asked worried about what Jenny might say.
"She's your assistant Marlena. I don't think that she's going to bring up anything about us. Besides, Eric probably filled her in about what's going on with everything." John insisted giving her a quick hug. "If we play things cool, then we can explain it to her later."
"What if something accidently slips out John?" Marlena asked again. "I felt like Roman was going to find out everything once I saw Jenny out there."
"Don't worry Doc." John explained to her. "Everything will work out. Now let's go out there and eat so that Roman doesn't get suspicious."
"That was definitely an interesting evening." Eric commented as he and Jenny had returned to his car after dinner.
"I'll say." Jenny said quietly.
"You seemed to really enjoy talking to my mom and John." Eric said looking her over. "I can't believe that I'm so stupid."
"About what Eric?" Jenny asked looking at him.
"I should've known that you worked for my mom." Eric insisted starting the car. "That's why you told me to stay out of her business with John."
"What are you talking about Eric?" Jenny asked confused by his remark.
"You know I thought that it was me starting to change my mind about John," Eric began laughing, "but after tonight I realize that my mom convinced you to make me believe that she should be with John."
"What are you talking about Eric?" Jenny asked wondering what he was up to.
"I should've known that my mom wanted you to change my mind." Eric replied looking her over. "I must admit that it was really working for a while."
"Eric, I have no idea what you're talking about." Jenny explained to him. "I just met your mom the other day at work. I had no idea who she was."
"Sure you didn't." Eric muttered pulling up in her driveway. "Goodnight Jenny."
"I think that we should talk for a minute Eric." Jenny began.
"I'm done talking Jenny." Eric replied coldly. "Goodnight."
"Fine Eric." she said opening her door. "You just be this way then. Goodnight."
"Thanks for having us over Roman." Kristen said hugging him goodbye. "It was a wonderful evening."
"It was our pleasure." he smiled at her. "I'm just glad that you and John could be here to join us."
"Goodnight John." Marlena said giving him a quick hug.
"I don't want to leave." he whispered in her ear when he was sure that Roman wasn't listening.
"You have to." she explained softly as Roman wrapped his arm around her.
"You know John, Doc and I appreciate everything you've done for us lately, but we both think that you should go home now and enjoy the rest of the evening with your pretty wife." Roman smiled at John. "Go get some rest. You deserve it."
"Let's go honey." Kristen urged tugging on John's arm.
"Good night Doc." John said looking at her.
"Goodbye John." she said wanting to reach out to him and never let go.
