[QUOTE="stevew, post: 26913, member: 130"] John Ross sits in his study reading through financials when a knock comes at the door. "Come in." Mateo walks into the room, closing the door behind him. "Kids are sleeping?" "Yes. What is it?" Mateo hands him a letter. One of my men confiscated this from Katherine Wentworth. she tri d to bribe some to mail it." John Ross reads it. His face goes pale. He asks, Can you verify this?" "Already in the process." Lucy rocks Steven. He's fussy. Seems not to feel well. She says, "You're warm. Let's go see your daddy and take you to the doctors." Chris meets with Pamela in her office, "You wanted to see me." "Long Dia is back in business. He's got the fourth Mexican oil lease. He's renamed Wendell Oil and Gas Long Petroleum. Wendell Petroleum is defunct. I'm giving Liam a job with Lone Star, he'll head up the accounting on the Mexican oil project." "Thank you. Emily will be very happy. Apparently her brother's staying in the house that their uncle bought from their father." "You'll work with him on your budget. He's got set figure for construction of the rig but John Ross says you have other ideas." "I do." "Of course that'll cost more. So I'll need the two of you to work out the budget." "Will do." Emily looks over financials in her office when her brother comes in and says, "Take you to lunch?" "Oh thank God yes. I'm sick of this stuff. Lucy has me handling more of the business of the foundation and it's driving me bonkers. How do you deal with financials all day?" "It's just numbers." "Boring as hell." "So I'm getting the picture John Ross and Lucy just stay in the ranch all day." "Pretty much." "Most be nice." "Most be." The two walk out of the office. At the elevator Emily asks, "So how's dad doing?" "Last I h are he's working out a plea bargain. He's hoping to pay fines and then house arrest." "Anyone heard from grandma?" "Not a word. Uncle Andrew calls every few days. Aunt Ava is busy reinvesting what's left if Wendell Oil and Gas. She's created a real estate business to just buy and rent out properties, Wendell Partners." Getting on the elevator Emily says, "Well good luck to her." Long Dia meets with David in a jail conference room. "Looks like the Ewings have destroyed the Wendell's after all. Even your two children are working for them. And I heard that Ava's investments in real estate, she's took on three partners who's all quickly sold to Pamela Ewing and she wants the company renamed DFW Properties. So that's pretty much it for your father's legacy." "You screwed my son out of the Mexican oil deal." "I had to, to keep it alive." "Working for yourself with Long Petroleum." "Once I'm on my feet I'm going back at DreyAgra. I'm going to get what I came to Dallas for." "So why are you here?" "You can still prove useful in our partnership. Achieve has backed out. Grazneft is back in." "The Mexican authorities have approved?" "Yes. Sechin's not involved." "Sechin's dead." "You know this business better than anyone. I want you to consult." "Bring me in as a partner." "They won't allow it." "I have a cousin who will front for me. He already does for a small South American company, Patiño Oil and Gas." "Alright. Yau Tei is out of the equation. They're just providing financial support. They wanted to minimize their risk." "All the better." At the hospital Pamela comes rushing in. John Ross stands and holds his wife. Pamela says, "What's wrong with Steven?" "They're running some tests." "He just didn't feel well." "That's all it is. Test are just to rule everything else out." "I want to see him." "Of course. Lucy's with him. I haven't left him alone. But you've got to control yourself. You don't want to worry him. She begins to cry in his arms. He pets her hair and says, "I know. But he's going my to be just fine. I promise." At lunch at the Cattlenans Club Chris says, "I hear your on a project for Long Petroleum." "I am." "When are you going to stop working with enemies of my family." "If I took off the table any potential customers because they were enemies of the Ewings, I would have many customers. But I asked you to lunch because I have something to tell you." "Go ahead." "I'm pregnant." "With my baby?" "Of course." "No of course about it." "Well it is." "OK. You're having the child." "Yes. My God Beau. This is our baby you're talking about. Your child." "I'm sorry if you're offended, but I simply don't know you well enough to know what you're thinking. So what do you want out of me." "To be a father." "If the baby turns out to be mine, of course I will." "You could seem happy." "I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop." "What?" "What more do you want? Child support? How much are we talking to take care of the baby and you." "Well you're a Ewing. How much do you think?" "I think I'm done with this lunch. You let me know when you're ready for a paternity test and we'll talk some more." John Ross leaves. Chris says to a pretty, young girl, "So what do you think?" Looking around a high-rise condo she says, "I live it." "Good. Then you can stay here and finish up your school in comfort. I'll be by to check on you from time to time." Caressing her face he says, "This arrangment suit you?" "Very much." "Good." He leans down and kisses her. Emily arrives home and says to the naked ranch hand in her bed, "Glad you were able to let yourself in." Pamela holds her child tight to her chest trying not to cry. John Ross holds her. Lucy holds John Ross. The doctor says, "We have many options. We'll sit down and out together a plan. He'll get the best care there is. For children ages one to fourteen with ALL the survival rate is eight-nine out of a hundred." He leaves them. Pamela says, "It's all my fault." "No Pamela it isn't." "I had no business having children. Look at my family. All of My grandmothers children are mentally ill. And Digger had neurofibromatois." "But you don't. And neither do our children. This is different. They don't know what causes it. But we'll fight this Pamela. No more work. This is our job. We'll take care of Steven and include Jack and Mitch." "No. I don't want them to know." "We're in this together. The five of us. No protecting them. They can handle this. We'll tackle this together." "You're not alone," Lucy says. I sent a text to everyone. They're all on their way. My dad and Uncle Bobby and Uncke Ray didn't want to overwhelm you so they're staying put but said to keep them posted. They'll be here the second you need them. Afton wants to come but said she'll wait until you asked. Sue Ellen couldn't be stopped if you tried. As for Chris and Emily and Beau. They're downstairs. James and Amanda are coming. Mateo is contacting your friends John Ross. We're hear from you. Or we'll stand in the back waiting to be called. Just let us know." Lucy goes to leave them alone. Pamela grabs her hand and pulls her to them. She cried holding Lucy. Lucy cries with her. Emily rushes in the room. "Pamela." She joins Lucy in crying with her. "It's gonna be alright. It is. Lucy and I won't leave you." Chris hugs John Ross. Neither cry but they hold each other tight. Beau walks in next. John Ross grabs him and hugs him too. Lucy tries to comfort Steven. "Look at these silly adults. You're going to be just fine." She rubs the side of his face. Barbara brings in the three boys who run over to Steven fussing over him. Ellis hugs John Ross. Mateo comes in next and hugs John Ross. [/QUOTE]
