Thank you for the feedback.
Tommie, well yeah it's not the most memorable plot from the show but since Lucy did move to Europe to work with Alex at an art gallery we figured five years later it would make sense that she'd still be working with an art gallery but in Dallas.
Ms Southworth, you'll find out in the next episode if your predictions about Jenna and her kids are right or not. But yeah Charlie did have a boyfriend on the original show called Randy who was played by Brad Pitt!
It was like maybe a five episode arc and I loved it. I thought Randy was so handsome but had no clue who he was. When I was about 17 I found out it was Brad Pitt and went like :eck:
You do have a point in that Southfork is not that big of a house and having both Donna and Jenna living there at the same time as well as Bobby, Ray and Lucas would cause a lot of tension...
Then as for tonight's update, I have a feeling you'd be pleased. Or at least I hope that it will live up to your expectations...
Enough said and now it's time for tonight's update:
Pam had already gone to bed reading a book when there was a knock on her door that evening. Pam put the book down, grabbed her blue silk robe and wrapped it around her, as she walked over to the door. She opened it to find Bobby standing on the other side, dressed in a robe. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him,
he came! She smiled.
“I hope I didn’t wake you,” Bobby said apologetic.
“No it’s okay,” Pam nodded.
I was hoping you’d come see me, she then added mentally.
“Good, because we need to talk,” Bobby said. “Can I come in?”
Pam was at the tip of her tongue to say sure, when she heard their daughter mumble something in her sleep, which made her think twice. “I don’t think that’s such a good idea,” Pam said and as she could see the disappointment on Bobby’s face she explained. “Rebecca’s sleeping and I don’t wanna wake her. Since if we do you know she’s not gonna go back to sleep without hearing another bedtime story.”
“God forbid…” Bobby smiled. “Still I feel a bit funny standing talking in the hallway where everyone can hear us…”
“You’re right, let’s go to your room,” Pam suggested.
Bobby raised his eyebrow at that suggestion.
Hmm…she came to see me in my room yesterday morning too. I wonder if that means what I hope it does… Bobby reflected to himself before he nodded, “Okay.”
Pam then turned off the lamp and closed the door behind her. Bobby made a motion as if he was about to put his arm around her waist, but stopped himself at the last moment.
No don’t, what if you’ll scare her away? She’s not really yours to hold anymore… Bobby sighed, as he instead walked next to Pam in silence. It was awkward and for each step they took without talking the tension grew between them. They reached Bobby’s room and he closed the door behind them and they just stood there for a moment before Pam finally broke the silence. “So what was it you wanted to talk about?”
“Um…why don’t we sit down?” Bobby countered her question and Pam looked from Bobby to the only place available to sit on, which happened to be the bed.
“Okay,” she nodded as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
Bobby hesitated for a moment before he sat down next to her. They sat together in silence for a moment as the memories of other times they’d spent together in this room came flooding back to them. They remembered kissing, they remembered falling asleep in each other’s arms. They remembered late night talks and making love in the morning. Being here just the two of them brought it all back, their entire life together. Glancing over at Pam who nervously looked down on her hands that she’d placed on her lap, Bobby remembered one of the last mornings they’d spent together when they’d talked about giving Christopher a little sibling. They had been so hopeful that they’d be able to have a biological child then and yet now when they had nothing had turned out the way they had thought it would.
“I wanted to talk to you about Rebecca,” Bobby eventually said and Pam looked up meeting Bobby’s eyes.
He brought me all the way over here to talk about our child? Disappointment washed over her.
But what about us? Pam pondered.
He kissed me this morning, so doesn’t that mean anything to him? Pam bit her lip, as a part of her couldn’t believe that all he wanted to talk about was Rebecca. She opened her mouth to object, “Bobby I…”
“No Pam this is important. I know I haven’t been a part of her life that long and that you’re used to calling the shots when it comes to her upbringing. But if we’re gonna make this work you’ll have to let me in,” Bobby paused for a moment before he added. “You’ll have to let me be a co-parent,” Bobby clarified and Pam nodded, as it made a lot of sense what he was saying.
“You’re right and I want you to be,” Pam said softly.
“Good I was hoping you’d say that,” Bobby smiled. “So as for Rebecca, I really think we need to decide on a punishment for going through my things and…”
“For leaving her roller blades where you could trip on them,” Pam finished his sentence and he gave her a how did you know look. Realizing that she could still read his face like an open book Pam smiled. “Cliff showed me the news segment, he had it taped,” she explained.
“Figures,” Bobby managed a smile before he said. “Then you know how embarrassed JR and I got because of the roller blades.”
“Yeah and I’m sorry,” Pam said sincerely before adding with a laugh, “Even though I must admit that JR looked pretty funny falling into the pool.”
“That he did,” Bobby laughed a little at that too, before he became serious again. “Anyway I think we must ground Rebecca.”
“I agree.”
“Good,” Bobby smiled. “So the question is, for how long?”
“I don’t know Bobby, I mean Rebecca is just a child and she did get a shock last night when she almost drowned.”
“I know so did I…I haven’t been that scared in years. For a moment there I almost thought we’d lose her.”
“And we would have if it hadn’t been for you Bobby,” Pam said emotionally. “How can I ever repay you for what you did?” Pam asked, as she reached out and took his hand into her own.
Bobby could feel the palm of his hand burn from her mere touch, “There’s no need to repay me for anything. I just did what any parent would have done. So just having you and Rebecca here is enough for me…” Bobby said emotionally.
“I’m glad,” Pam replied softly and for a moment Bobby almost wondered if she was going to kiss him. But then the moment passed and Pam went on. “I think we should ground Rebecca for two days, one day for going through your stuff and one day for not picking up her things after her.”
“Two days could work, unless we should make it four…”
“No I think four days too much,” Pam shook her head, “after all Rebecca’s never been grounded before.”
“Okay then two days will be enough,” Bobby agreed.
“Good that we agree on that. Besides it’s not really her fault you stumbled on the roller blades, you could have looked where you were going.”
“Nice one Pam, now you’re blaming that whole ordeal on me?”
“No I didn’t mean it like that, I just mean that I think that Rebecca’s been through enough as it is.”
“So has Christopher. Have you even seen him today outside of dinner?”
“No I thought I’d sit down and explain things to him tomorrow,” Pam sighed. “I mean after Cliff I don’t think I have the strength for another confrontation today…”
“So I take it things didn’t go that well with Cliff today?”
“You could say that. Still I guess things went about as well as could be expected. At first Cliff was really happy to see me and I run into Afton and Becky.”
“Oh that’s nice, I didn’t know he’d found Afton and little Pamela again,” Bobby smiled.
“You knew that Cliff had a daughter?”
“Of course, Cliff told me himself about six years ago. It was when JR and I had gone to Europe on a business trip,” Bobby replied.
That was the moment I knew I wasn’t over you, he then added mentally, as he could still remember the way his chest had ached with pain when he’d heard Cliff say,
Another Pamela Barnes.
“He told you?”
“Yeah Cliff and I grew quite close for a while after you’d left,” Bobby explained.
“Well from the way he was behaving today I certainly couldn’t have guessed that.”
“What did he do?”
“It’s not so much what he did, it’s the way he reacted when I told him that I was living at Southfork and that you were Rebecca’s father…”
“He didn’t approve?” Bobby asked, unable to disguise the disappointment in his voice.
“No did you expect him to?” Pam asked and to her surprise she could see Bobby nod.
“Yeah, I would have thought that after everything that’s happened he should have been happy that we’ve found each other again.”
“That’s what I had hoped for but oh no not Cliff…he totally went off on me.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. Cliff’s not a bad guy really. He even worked at Ewing Oil for a while when I had total control over it. We were actually partners.”
“I know you told me on the way here, remember?”
“Yeah right,” Bobby nodded. “Anyway once I let JR back into the company again things went downhill from there…”
“I can imagine,” Pam sighed before she added. “Speaking of Ewing Oil I really don’t think it’s a good idea that Christopher goes into work with you.”
“But Pam…”
“No buts, Ewing Oil is poison and I am not gonna sit by and watch it destroy my son like it almost destroyed you.”
“Pam we’ve been over this before. I know Ewing Oil has caused this family some grief, but it’s also my inheritance from my father and I just can’t give up on it. I’ve tried that before and it only made me miserable.”
“You’ve tried giving up on Ewing Oil?” Pam asked surprised.
“Yes I did,” Bobby confirmed and seeing the question mark in Pam’s eyes he also offered an explanation. “It was after April was murdered. I blamed the company for her death…so I sold it.”
“You really sold Ewing Oil?” Pam asked astonished. Somehow she’d never thought that she’d see the day. After all the years she’d spent trying to get the company out of his blood, it hurt her a bit to hear that it had taken another woman for him to finally see what was most important.
“Yes to a charming lady called LeAnn De La Vega, I thought she’d do right by it. But the only thing she did was creating one big mess. You’ll see it turned out that she was one of JR’s old flames looking for vengeance, so she sold the company to Michelle and then Cliff somehow got hold of it but naturally JR couldn’t stand by and watch that happen. So he asked me if I wanted to team up with him to take it back and we did.”
“I’m not sure I even know who this Michelle is.”
“She’s April’s little sister. She was in a relationship with JR’s son James.”
Pam dropped her chin, “JR has another son?”
“Yeah an illegitimate one and why do you look so surprised?” Bobby chuckled, “With all the women he’s bedded over the years, did you really expect anything less?”
“No I guess not, so this James is he like JR?” She asked curiously.
“No he’s surprisingly decent. Not like JR at all…”
“Well that’s good then…”
“You’ll see Pam you can be decent and still work at Ewing Oil,” Bobby steered the conversation back on track.
“Bobby…”
“No Pam, I want you to hear me out,” Bobby insisted and seeing the determination in his hazel eyes Pam knew she’d better. “It’s important for us to keep my father’s legacy within the family for the next generation. JR wants to leave his share of Ewing Oil to John Ross. So can’t you see why I’d want to leave my shares to Christopher?”
Pam sighed, “Yes I can understand that but the oil business is such a tough business. I’m afraid of what it might do to Christopher. I mean yesterday he tried to bribe his way into that movie.”
“Oh come on Pam that was just a boy’s prank. I’ve done the same thing when I was his age…”
“You did?”
“Yeah so the worst thing that could happen to Christopher if he starts working at Ewing Oil is that he’ll grow up to become a business man just like me…”
“But you don’t understand…”
“No it’s you who don’t understand,” Bobby said. “What’s so awful about if Christopher grows up to be like me?” Bobby asked and Pam went silent for a moment as she thought it over.
“Um…you used to…um…” Pam couldn’t come up with a single argument so she simply said, “Alright then, Christopher can go with you to Ewing Oil.”
“Thanks Pam,” Bobby smiled, as he subconsciously interlaced his fingers with hers.
Pam could feel her heart start to flutter from the motion and they both went silent as the sexual tension was slowly rising between them. It had been so long since they’d last made love that a part of Pam had given up hope that it would ever happen again. Yet now sitting here so close to Bobby there was nothing she wanted more than for him to take her into his arms and kiss her like he had this morning and tell her he’d never let her go again. Looking into Bobby’s hazel eyes Pam shivered, since she recognized that look of desire in them. She parted her lips as she hoped he would act on it. But to her disappointment he broke eye contact with her instead.
No he doesn’t want me anymore. Or does he? Unable to read the mixed signals he was sending out Pam decided that it would be foolish to take the first step and risk getting rejected. So therefore she said uneasily, “Well if that’s all you wanted to talk about maybe I should be heading back to the guest room…”
But when she tried to pull her hand away from Bobby’s he won't let her go, “No don’t go…not just yet…” he pleaded with her in a way that made her hopeful.
“Okay I guess I can stay a little longer,” she agreed with a smile.
“Good…” he smiled. “I like having you here.”
“I like being here it feels almost like old times…”
“It does,” Bobby agreed. “Only difference is that now we’re not together…” His words made Pam shift uncomfortably, as she could feel his eyes upon her.
“That’s true…” Pam said wistfully.
But we could be if you’d wanted us to, she then added mentally. But she didn’t dare to say it out loud. So instead she just said, “Oh Bobby I know that I have no right to ask you for anything after everything I’ve put you through but do you think there’s still a chance for us or is it just too late?”
Her words hit him like lightning and he suddenly realized.
Maybe I am trying too hard to restrain myself around her. Maybe she feels the same way about me, Bobby looked deep into Pam’s brown eyes, hoping to find the answer in them. “You still want us to be together?” Bobby countered her question, as he could feel his hopes rising.
For a moment Pam hesitated as she was not sure she wanted to lay her heart on the line and risk getting it broken. But looking deep into his eyes she knew that she had to tell him the truth. “Yes,” Pam admitted. “Even after all these years apart I still love you,” she finally told him.
Hearing her proclamation of love Bobby could feel all the walls he’d built up to protect himself in the past couple of years come tumbling down. He closed his eyes as he tried to hide the tears that were forming in them.
She still loves me, she really loves me, he could feel his heart well over with feelings.
Pam on the other hand misinterpreted his facial expression as rejection and hurried to add. “Of course I’ll understand if you don’t feel the same way, I mean a lot of time has passed and…”
“That doesn’t matter,” Bobby suddenly interrupted her as he regained his ability to speak. “Oh Pam, honey my feelings for you have never changed and they never will. I love you just as much today as I ever did,” Bobby said emotionally before he made one more confession. “Even when I was engaged to April I would have given anything if I could have had you back, just for one more day, one more night, one more hour…”
Bobby’s words went straight into her heart, as he had finally answered the question she’d wondered about ever since she’d heard he had gotten remarried. If it had ever come down to a choice between her and April who would he have chosen. Now when she finally knew the answer Pam could feel the tears spill over and start to run down on her cheeks. “Oh Bobby I should have come back sooner. We’ve missed so much time,” Pam could feel hear heart ache, when she thought of all the time they could have been together.
“I know but you are here now…”
“I am and I’ll never leave you again,” Pam promised, as she looked deep into his eyes. “I love you Bobby.”
“I love you too Pam,” Bobby replied hoarsely and they looked deep into each other’s eyes for what seemed like forever as an understanding passed between them. Knowing that they both wanted the same thing they were inevitably drawn to each other. So they leaned forward and closed their eyes and when their lips met again they both knew that there was no turning back this time. Their kiss started out sensually like a slow burn, but then quickly intensified as their tongues came out to play with each other. They kissed each other deeply and passionately, as they could never get enough of each other. Their tongues circled around each other in a familiar dance as their bodies started to yearn for each other. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she pulled him closer to her and his hands slipped down and in between their bodies. He found the knot to her robe and untied it and Pam’s arms left his neck long enough so she could pull her arms out of the robe. He then disregarded her robe onto the floor and they wrapped their arms around each other again. Her hands were in the back of his hair, while his went up and down her back. Then her hands found their way down inside of his robe. Feeling her soft hands tracing down his chest, as she pulled the robe off him, he could feel his skin start to burn from her mere touch. His hands left her back long enough to help her get the robe off him. It landed on the floor but neither one of them cared as all that mattered at this moment was them and what they were about to do.
Bobby pulled the cover off the bed with one arm and Pam could feel her head spinning with joy when he finally pulled her down with him onto the bed. Her head hit the soft pillow and she could feel her whole body respond to him when he rolled on top of her and pulled the cover over them. Their legs got entangled and they broke the kiss for a moment as they came up for air. They were both breathing heavy and Bobby could feel his whole body getting warm from being this close to her. Looking down at Pam who was laying there with her dark hair spread out around her head on his pillow he could feel his heart well over with emotions.
I can’t believe that we’re really getting back together after all this time, two weeks ago I never thought this was possible, he reflected, as he drowned in her brown eyes that looked at him with so much love, tenderness and desire. Feeling reconnected with her soul he felt like a part of him that he’d tried hard to forget came alive. They didn’t even need words to know what the other one wanted and felt at that moment as it was all written there in their faces. Bobby gently strokes away a tear from Pam’s cheek before he leant down and captured her lips in another kiss. Their lips marveled at the taste and feel of each other and meanwhile their hands took on a life of their own as they were caressing and touching each other more and more intimately. Pam could feel her heart beat so fast that she heard the blood pump through her ears when his lips started to kiss his way down her body. Feeling an aching need to get rid of the clothes barriers that were keeping them apart he started to pull her nightgown down with him and once it had left her body he took a moment to get reacquainted with her body. Looking at her he marveled at how beautiful she still was. Despite the accident and all the plastic surgery she had been through she was still his Pam.
She blushed as she could feel his hungry eyes wandering up and down her body, taking in the site of her and feeling inadequate she said, “I know I’m not the same as I was before the accident…”
“No but you’re still beautiful to me,” Bobby whispered softly and Pam could feel a stone being lifted from her heart.
“Oh Bobby I love you,” Pam said through the tears.
“I love you too Pam,” he replied, before he started showering her face with kisses, kissing away her tears. Then his lips closed over hers again and as their kisses grew more passionate her hands pulled off his pajamas pants and disregarded them. Being skin to skin they felt like their bodies were on fire as the heat was definitely on between them tonight. His hands caressed her thighs as he pulled her legs apart and she willingly straddled him as they continued to make sweet love together. Being as close to each other as they could be after being apart for eight years felt even better than they remembered and as their bodies united and became one that night they both felt like they were back where they belonged and they just knew that they wouldn’t let anything break them apart ever again…
To be continued…
I'm counting the minutes .... ... (it's almost feels like New Year's Eve!) ... ... and although I don't have champagne in my cooler, making a toast with a great glass of red wine will do just fine!
