She hesitated for a moment before she decided that his sulking needed to end. So she firmly walked up to his bed and said, “John Ross?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Just five more minutes Mama,” John Ross mumbled, as he was still half asleep.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No you need to get up your grandma wants us to have a family meeting over breakfast,” Sue Ellen informed John Ross.That sentence made John Ross snap out of his dream and as he sat up for a moment he was a little disorientated, as when he slept he had forgotten that he was back at Southfork. But now it all came flooding back to him. John Ross grimaced, as he remembered his failed date with Melissa two days ago. “I’m not hungry,” John Ross said, as he tried to pull the quilt back over his head.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know John Ross, why won’t you talk to me?” Sue Ellen asked, as she sat down on the edge of his bed and pulled back the quilt from John Ross’s face.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I don’t wanna talk about it,” John Ross said grumpily.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I do so you’d better listen,” Sue Ellen insisted. “I know you’ve been through a lot John Ross and that you’re bummed that things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to with Melissa. But you’ve been brooding for over a day on your room. So what’s wrong?” Sue Ellen asked. However John Ross looked away refusing to answer her. So Sue Ellen decided to change tactics. “Look John Ross I know it can’t be easy for you to be back at Southfork after so many years in England but…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Wrong mama, it’s you who are having a hard time to adapt to being back here, not I,” John Ross took the bait and finally started to open up.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I don’t believe you,” Sue Ellen replied. “I mean can you honestly tell me that you are not a little disappointed that your dad has spent more time with your cousins than you since we’ve been back?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Alright so maybe I am a little jealous,” John Ross admitted. “I mean I thought he’d take me to the office but so far he hasn’t had the time.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That’s not true,” Sue Ellen shook her head.“What do you mean?”“Your dad has been dying to take you to the office ever since you’ve returned but he hasn’t been able to because you’ve been grounded,” Sue Ellen told John Ross.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Really?” John Ross perked up from the sound of that.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah I bet if you’ll stop feeling sorry for yourself and come down to breakfast now your daddy will be happy to bring you to the office today.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “That would be great,” John Ross smiled. “But what about my grounding?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh I’m sure you’re school work can wait until tomorrow,” Sue Ellen smiled.“Thanks mama,” John Ross grinned. “But are you sure dad will take me to the office?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Positive,” Sue Ellen smiled. “I know he’s been longing to spend some time with you,” Sue Ellen paused before adding. “We both have, so why don’t the three of us have lunch together today, as a family?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So I can listen to the two of you arguing, no thanks,” John Ross sneered.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; “I know it’s not easy for you when we argue. But your dad and I doesn’t argue all the time, sometimes we really enjoy each other’s company too,” Sue Ellen said. “I promise we’ll be on our best behavior.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Like you were when Melissa was here?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What’s that supposed to mean?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Nothing, it’s just that I really liked Melissa and I guess it’s easier to blame you for ruining my date than admitting that it was my own fault,” John Ross sighed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah you were moving too fast. Not all girls are easy.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know,” John Ross sighed. “I guess I was coming on a bit too strong.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You were,” Sue Ellen agreed. “But if you really like this girl, why don’t you give her a call and apologize?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; John Ross looked dumbstruck at his mother,&nbsp; “What good would that do?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I think she liked you too, so maybe if you apologized she’d agreed to go out on another date.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Maybe but there’s no use, I don’t have her phone number.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well how about looking it up in the phone book?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I don’t know her last name,” John Ross replied.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “It’s Adams,” Sue Ellen informed John Ross. “Her mother’s name is Nancy.”John Ross looked surprised. “How do you know that?”“I met her when she dropped off Melissa. She was very nice, she told me Melissa’s not that used to dating.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; John Ross made a face. “Ouch, I didn’t realize that.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I figured you wouldn’t. So am I going to help you look up her number or not?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Thanks mama, I know you mean well. But I’d rather not call her,” John Ross sighed. “I mean sure I liked her but there’s gotta be other girls out there, right?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “True, but I haven’t seen you brood in your room for over a day for any other girls before. Unless your brooding doesn’t have anything to do with her that is?” Sue Ellen raised an eyebrow but John Ross still said nothing so she went on. “So you wanna tell me the real reason why you’re moping?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Why did you have to make that dumb movie about my daddy?” John Ross asked.&nbsp;Sue Ellen sighed, “You’re upset about the movie?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Damn right I am,” John Ross replied. “So why did you do it?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Because I was hurt,” Sue Ellen replied. “I loved your dad a lot but he kept breaking his promises to me. So I was bitter when our marriage ended and I wanted to hurt him back,” Sue Ellen paused for a moment. “John Ross you’ve got to believe me, that movie was meant for your dad’s eyes only. I had never planned to release it to the public and I certainly never meant to hurt you or anyone else in your family with it.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “And yet you did.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes but I hurt myself too, since I hurt when you hurt,” Sue Ellen said. “I am so mad at Don for releasing the movie behind my back. I wish I could have it undone but I can’t.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So you’re not going back to England with him then?” John Ross asked in a hopeful voice.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I don’t think so,” Sue Ellen replied.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So are you going to divorce Don?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I am not sure. I mean I need to talk to him first.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But you are thinking about it?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes would you be sad if I did?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Sad?” John Ross laughed. “No way, the man doesn’t exactly understand teenagers, so it’s not like we’re close.” Sue Ellen nodded sadly and seeing the sadness in her hazel eyes John Ross went on, “I’m sorry if that makes you sad mama, but he’s just my step-dad, so it’s not like he could ever take dad’s place.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know what you mean,” Sue Ellen sighed.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You still love him don’t you?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Don?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No my dad,” John Ross replied.Sue Ellen felt like a deer caught in headlights, “Where did you get that kind of idea from?” She dodged the question.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh nowhere really, it’s just that I think dad still loves you…”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “He’s told you that?” Sue Ellen asked suspiciously.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “He doesn’t have to, it’s obvious from the way he looks at you,” John Ross said.&nbsp;Sue Ellen could feel her heart skip a beat from that notion. But since she didn’t want to go back to JR or give her son any false hope she hurried to nip it in the bud. “John Ross, I want to make something very clear to you. I might divorce Don and it’s possible that I’ll stay here at Southfork for a while until I find my own house here in Dallas. But even if I do, I don’t want you to read too much into it. Because whatever was between your father and me is over, we are never getting back together again,” Sue Ellen said seriously. “You do understand that, don’t you?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes,” John Ross nodded.“Good now when we’ve got that out of the way. How about going down to breakfast?” Sue Ellen said, as she stood up.“Sure I’m starving.”“I thought you weren’t hungry?”“Well what can I say, I suddenly regained my appetite,” John Ross grinned.“That’s great,” Sue Ellen replied. “So I’ll see you at breakfast?”“Yeah I’m just gonna get dressed first,” John Ross replied and Sue Ellen started to leave. But before she reached the door John Ross added. “Oh and Mama?”“Yeah?”“I’ve changed my mind about lunch. I think it would be nice to spend some time together with both my parents after all,” John Ross gave Sue Ellen his best shit eating grin and in that moment he looked so much like his father that Sue Ellen just knew that he was up to something…</blockquote>

[QUOTE="Karin, post: 78290, member: 57167"] Thank you everyone for the feedback. It's much appreciated as always. :) Also tonight I want to ask you all a favor. I was wondering if [I]everyone[/I] who is reading this story who hasn't rated the very first post in the thread could please go back and do so? I would appreciate it if you could do that. :thank: [B]Pammy,[/B] I am glad that you thought we had captured Bobby and Pam well in the last scene. :) [B]Ms Southworth, [/B]I think Sue Ellen occasionally cursed on the show too, at least when arguing with JR or when being very angry. But I could remember it wrong. Honestly I think Miss Ellie was probably embarrassed about JR's drunken behavior. I guess she's more used to expect drunk behavior from Sue Ellen. :( Anyway I am glad you think we wrote JR to perfection. Good point. I guess we do expect a bit more romance from the soaps we watch on TV or romance novels we read. I'll keep that in mind from now on. ;) And yeah I guess traditionally most people got married before they had kids so for kids to experience their parents wedding and engagement was pretty unusual. These days it's more and more common that people get married before they have kids though... I know what you mean. It's only about 4 hours drive up from Houston to Dallas so it would almost have gone faster to drive home than to wait for the fog to lift! Then as for Bobby and Pam. Yeah they are happy right now and naturally there will be bumps in the road, otherwise it wouldn't be a soap, would it? Anyway I won't tell you whether your predictions are accurate or not. You will just have to wait and see! ;) Okay so [B]update[/B] time: John Ross was still fast asleep when Sue Ellen entered his room the next morning.
