"Good morning Doc." John smiled leaning over in his chair to kiss Marlena as she
woke up in her hospital bed.
"Did you sleep here all night?" she asked smiling at him.
"Yes, I did."
he answered taking her hand in his.
"You slept in that chair John?" she asked noticing the blanket covering his legs.
"That had to be the most uncomfortable place in the world to sleep dear."
"I'm always comfortable when I'm by your side Doc." John grinned moving in for a
kiss.
"In that case," Marlena began wrapping her arms around his muscular neck, "why
don't you hop in here with me?"
"Why Dr. Evans," John smiled looking down at her, "you're feeling much better
aren't you?"
"Why don't you come over here and find out for yourself?" she teased pulling his
lips to meet hers in a passionate embrace.
"Oops." Mike's voice called out from behind as John and Marlena they were about
to get lost in each other's kiss. "I'm sorry. I'll come back later."
"Mike," John called out disappointed to find out that he was no longer alone with
Marlena, "hey partner, I didn't hear you come in here."
"I didn't mean to startle you two." Mike explained as his face turned a bright shade
of red.
"That's quite alright." Marlena smiled grabbing a hold of John's hand. "Do you
have any good news for me?"
"Actually, I do." Mike smiled realizing how happy John and Marlena both looked.
"I just got all of the test results back from the lab and you're free to go."
"So everything is alright with Doc and the baby?" John questioned making sure
that he heard correctly.
"That's right." Mike replied opening his charts and turning to Marlena. Everything
came back clear on these tests, so now all you have to do is get some rest."
"What about Eric?" Marlena asked worried about her son.
"He was discharged earlier this morning." Mike explained to her. "He came by to
see you two, but you were both asleep, so he went home with Jenny. He told me that he
would call you later."
"Hey, how's the patient this morning?" Carrie asked walking into Marlena's room
with a bunch of balloons in hand.
"Carrie," Marlena smiled as Carrie handed her the balloons, "you didn't have to do
this."
"I didn't." she explained with a grin. "These are from Belle and
Brady."
"Oh my little sweeties," Marlena sighed opening their little card with heart
drawings all over it. "This is so wonderful."
"They send their love." Carrie informed Marlena as John glanced at the
card.
"We have to go home and see them." Marlena insisted eagerly turning to John. "I
miss them so much."
"Alright Doc." John replied kissing her forehead. "Why don't you and Carrie get
you ready to leave this place and I'll go with Mike to fill out the paper work?"
"Okay," Marlena agreed letting go of his hand.

"No Doc!!!" Roman shouted out as he woke up from his nightmare and looked
around the strange room.
"You finally woke up." Kristen replied from across the room as she looked up
from her book. "I thought that you were going to sleep the day away."
"Where am I?" he asked looking around the windowless room. "Where have you
taken me?"
"Roman," Kristen explained walking over to his side, "you're at my
house."
"You're lying Kristen..." he shouted weakly as he looked around the strange
room.
"Trust me Roman," Kristen laughed thinking about all of the memories she had
about being locked in the room with Marlena. "It's kind of depressing and all, but this is a
part of my house."
"I have to go to Doc." Roman insisted sitting up quickly. "I need to be with
her."
"I don't think that Stephano wants you to do that right now Roman." Kristen
insisted trying to get him to lay back down.
"I don't give a damn what Dimera wants right now." Roman yelled pushing Kristen
away from him. "I'm going to get Doc back and there's nothing that you, your father, or
John can do to stop me."
"Don't be so sure of that Roman." Kristen insisted
reaching for her purse. "I think that right now you need to rest so that you will get your
strength back."
"What I need to do is get to Doc!" Roman yelled at her. "I
need to make her see that I'm the man for her, not John."
"Roman," Kristen began as she injected the siringe into his arms, "I'm afraid that
just isn't possible right now."
"What are you doing to me Kristen?" Roman asked as the room began to spin
around him.
"I'm just making sure that you get some rest." Kristen explained as Roman fell
back onto the bed. She smiled at him and wiped his hair out of his eyes. "Don't worry
Roman. I promise you that I won't let your precious Doc be with John. I'll never let her
win. John belongs with me!!!"

"Then everything is all set?" John questioned the person at the other end of his cell
phone as he noticed Marlena and Carrie walking out of her hospital room. "Great...oh and
thanks a bunch."
"I'm ready to go home." Marlena insisted walking to John's side as he hung up his
cell phone. "Who were you talking to darling?"
"It was just Abe." John lied to her. "He was just checking to see how you were."
"Oh, I see." Marlena smiled wrapping her arms around him.
"You aren't gone yet?" Mike teased walking over to John, Marlena, and Carrie. "I
would've thought that you'd be long gone by the look on your face when you read your
card from Belle and Brady."
"I'll be home with my sweeties soon enough..." Marlena smiled looking up at John.
"I'm glad to be getting out of here since I already spend too much time at this
place."
"You don't like being a patient huh Marlena?" Carrie asked smiling at
her.
"No way." Marlena replied wrinkling her nose. "I'd rather be the doctor anyday."
"Just remember to take it easy on that ankle." Mike warned Marlena.
"I will Mike." she agreed turning to John. "Are you ready to go?"
"Absolutely." he insisted grabbing a hold of her tightly. "Lead the way
Doc."
"Bye Mike. Bye Carrie." Marlena waved as she and John took off towards the
elevator.
"She has no idea what he has in store for her, does she?" Mike
asked a smiling Carrie.
"Not a clue." Carrie replied happily. "What do you say we celebrate and go for a
coffee Dr. Horton?"
"You're on." he replied holding out his arm for her. "Let's go."
