Wow, Dot. You never, ever disappoint. I loved this chapter. Whew! I knew my JAde would be hot. Wow. And you had so many twists that I'm not sure what was dream and what was real now. LOL. I love them. And she's fighting so hard. Which means it will be all the sweeter when they are finally together. You know I love Brooke and Mike. I love how they support each other whenver an insecurity or fear surfaces. I love that they have their baby. And that Brooke's other baby came home on her own. That was such a good scene when Brooke woke to find her girl home and safe, at last. Eric and Michael...well, you did great, all things considered. Eric was a panicked father taking out his fear and frustration on the nearest target...Michael. Michael loves Bridget too and tried so hard to control his temper, and did a fine job. LOL. I really like Colin's presence. He's such a calm, rational presence. I think I like him more than Storm. Storm's a bit wishywashy at times. Only evil can come from Keith and Steph's alliance, in the bedroom or otherwise. Ridge is still Ridge, I see. LOL. But...I do look forward to him getting to see Bridget again. I can't wait to see more of Anne and Joey's convo. I am so curious about what's got Joey so flustered. I have a good idea, but it could be more than one thing or a combination of them all. Taylor is an odd character for me in this story. There are times I just want her to STFU and others that I agree with her. I do wonder how the friendship with her and Ridge and the Copelands will handle Michael's extended family. And Bridget dropped her bomb. I'm glad she told Mike. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. LOL. I know that Michael will help her. He can teach her how to take care of herself. And hopefully, at the very least, she's learned she can't run from this. Oh, and I hope Jacob turns up again. Great chapter. Pam You know I wrote a lot of JAde with you in mind LOL! I know how much you love them and I couldn’t make it real, so I thought I’d make it fun and make it hot and sexy too! As for what was dream and what was real, the sex was dream, the declaration about falling in love and the deep, passionate kiss was real. Ade is fighting very hard. I wonder if she really knows why she is fighting and if she will suddenly open her eyes and say ‘Hey girl, you’re crazy to keep denying, go for it!’ or if she will keep pushing him away. I know Joey is not about to let it go. Brooke and Michael are so in tune and so in love that it could almost make them boring. But they are still passionate and crazy in love and impetuous and will both go to extremes and drive each other crazy. I love that they have their baby and the family with Bridget and Rick too. They do need some private time alone together though, but it seems that one crisis after another keeps hitting them and preventing it. I had to work hard on the Michael and Eric scenes. Both men have resented each other and have not been good with dealing with one another. But they are both good men and they both have the same things as their priorities. When they both just stopped fighting they both realized that they were truly on the same side and that they had a lot more in common than they had ever admitted to themselves. Michael’s temper was starting to get to him and he really does try to control it. I thought that Colin would be the perfect calming influence. He’s very rational and he’s a good listener. He gives good advice too. I think he is the stronger of the pairing of Storm and Colin. I think that’s why you prefer him. He IS good for Storm too. Keith and Steph have not even begun. Nothing and no one will be safe LOL! You look forward to Ridge seeing Bridget? Hmmm. I guess they share a long and very deep history. I think I will try to do that scene justice, just for you! Okay so you’re curious about what got Joey so flustered? I’m wondering what your ideas are. I have my own, but maybe if I hear yours I might have to expand LOL! Taylor frustrates me too. I see her as a loving woman, but she is weak. She wants to free herself of Ridge, but she still loves him and feels that almost inbred need to be his wife. She can’t seem to cut the tie completely, no matter what Ridge does. I think the test may well be how she handles having a life connected to the Copelands that includes Joey. She and Ridge both hate him, but she seems willing to try and get along for Brooke and Michael’s sake, while Ridge isn’t ready to budge at all. Bridget’s bomb was a long time coming and there is a lot more to the story. Michael is the perfect person for her to trust and turn to, but I imagine Brooke and Eric will feel hurt that she didn’t come to them. But really, she did make the right decision. But poor Mike, he is going to have to be the one to help break more bad news. Seems he is doomed to that all the time. And yes, Jacob will return. I like him too much to write him out! Thanks for the VERY FAST response! I don’t know what to beg you for now! LOL! Oh yeah, ITNOT. Hell, Bell can kill Bricky but he can’t hurt my version! Now go read!

Dot I did think the Jade scenes were real, I wasn't sure what was a dream and what was real, I was convinced that one of them was real though. I love those two together especially since she has always championed his cause, and the little tid bit of info from Joey on how he was jealous of Mike because he had married Ade. Those two have to hook up for real and soon! One thing that I didn't comment on before because I was trying to make it quick was Mike and Eric. Eric was really ticking me off until him and Mike came to the understanding after holding Bethany. I was really kind of PO'd at Eric until I saw his angle at that moment. I am real glad that Jacob is going to be sticking around, I really like him . I am curious to see how he will fit in with Bridget's life. Thanks for answering my question on the HIV/AIDS thing with Bridget. Although I was sad that she didn't confide in Brooke first I think Mike was the right one for her to confide in since he's kind of had his own experience with the whole thing, even though his turned out to be negative. He's got to know how she feels. I'm not sure how Brooke is going to take the news. I don't even want to think of what kind of evil Satanie and Keith are going to cook up.

Dot, I don't know how you manage to do it! With each chapter, it just gets better. This one has to be one of the most excellent and was definitely well worth the wait. You know, you really had me going with these dreams! LOL! I had to go back last night and reread Jade's interaction twice just to be clear on what was real and what wasn't. I was a little neutral on Jade, but I had no idea they would be THAT hot! WOW! I look forward to seeing what you have in mind for them down the line. I'm also curious about what Joey wants to discuss with Annie. I realize that Joey is working overtime to make amends, which is a good thing. I still have mixed feelings about that wiring still being in Taylor and Ridge's home. But, I guess since he's the expert in these things, I'll have to rely on his judgment for the time being. Speaking of dreams, I was quite certain that Brooke was dreaming about Bridget. Thank goodness it was REAL! I was so thrilled that she allowed Jacob to persuade her to come home. I do like your Bridget but her and Sara's lies may end up costing poor Jason. I'm also glad that Mike and Eric came to a truce. I found myself getting quite exasperated with Eric and feared the possibility of a custody battle down the line, but I'm glad that Mike showed as much restraint as he could under the circumstances and that Eric finally got it. Brooke and Mike were quite gracious to Eric and I'm glad that Eric didn't take it for granted. Colin was also the voice of reason and as he said, it was easier for him because he's detached. Okay, let me see if I got this right. Stephanie's stepdaughter—you know the one she just luvs so much and wants to protect—is missing. Her husband and the rest of the family are frantic with worry. Yet, she is out getting her freak on with a fellow while the family is searching for Bridget? WOW. Her husband can't even call her with the news that he found his daughter. What's wrong with this picture? And, she and Keith are just too demented to be allowed around decent people. I had to cackle at Stephanie's surprise that she found someone more obsessed than she is! I'm outraged that Keith can't let go of his vendetta long enough to allow Jason to find a decent home and he's using Storm and Colin as part of his rant. And, Stephanie is just plain sick. It's frightening that Morgan's little baby will come under this evil woman's influence! He might be better off with his father at this rate. I loved Brooke and Mike in this chapter. They are definitely the best thing that ever happened to one another and are quite supportive. I'm also glad that they are looking forward to some alone time together. However, I wonder if Bridget's news will put a damper on that for Mike. By the way, I'm glad that Brooke is finally able to fully enjoy Bethany. Your cliffhanger—WHOA! I knew it was something big but in all honesty, I didn't think it was that. This has so many implications and there are quite a few ironies here. First, we had the AIDS scare with Mike because of his being assaulted in prison. People will also question Colin and Storm. I realize that in real life, really young people are becoming infected at alarming rates now. Does Bridget know if she actually has full-blown AIDS or is she HIV-positive? Is it possible that her test is a false positive? Her running away is not surprising at all. We've lost someone close to us nearly a year ago, who unbeknownst to us had been suffering for some time. She had told us that she had cancer and never told us the truth because she was scared that we would look at her differently. She apparently chose not to take her meds any longer because she was tired of going back and forth to the hospital. Even in the hospital, she lied and would put her meds under her pillow. When she went home the last time, she deteriorated rather quickly. It was one of her caretakers who finally told us what was going on. Another friend whom we loved early nearly lost his life because when his job switched health insurance carriers and all employees had to reapply, he made some false statements on his application about preexisting conditions. There came a point when the insurance company started to ask questions because of the medications he was taking and instead of being candid, he chose not to have them pay for the meds any longer because he was scared they would reveal his condition to his employer. There came a point when he could no longer work and we were all alarmed by his appearance. By the time he was admitted to the hospital, his mother revealed that he hadn't been taking his meds for at least six months. She also devastated us by telling us that he would not be going home. It was obvious that she was angry that we found out and she tried to ban his friends from visiting. Apparently, she was ashamed because he was gay. She also led us to believe that he wanted to die, which was not the case at all. SHE was the one preparing him to die! That's when his employer made a decision and convinced his mother to allow them to take guardianship, which would allow them to make the medical decisions on his behalf. As it turned out, they were looking for a hospice for him. One of his co-workers, who was also an ordained minister who helped others make the transition, spoke to a doctor she knew who agreed to examine our friend. His co-worker also had a long talk with his mother and finally got her to understand that we all loved her son, and she finally allowed us to visit him whenever we wanted. The doctor said if there was no hope whatsoever, he would facilitate the paperwork to have our friend transferred to a hospice. As it turned out, there was hope, and our friend was placed on some anti-viral medications. We nearly lost him twice—not because of the complications from the disease but because he had allergic reactions to the medications that caused him to seize. And, would you believe that he is STILL with us THREE YEARS later! Although he's on disability, he's working part-time for another friend of ours and is thriving. I shared these very personal stories because in both of these instances, fear, shame, guilt and embarrassment kept our friends from getting the help they needed. I realize that being HIV positive is not the death sentence it once was. One chose to give up; the other—we had to battle his own mother's ignorance to get him the help he needed. It still infuriates me that she was willing to allow him to leave without letting us to say goodbye just because SHE was ashamed! Yes, there were times when I wondered if we were being selfish by wanting him to hold on, but thank God, we "disrespected" his mother enough to so he could have another chance at life. Now, this leads me to ask, is it possible that Bridget finally confided in Jacob, and that's why he was able to convince her to return home? If so, will he play a larger role in Bridget's life? I know this decision will save her life. I think Mike was the best person that Bridget could talk to right now, and I'm glad he "disobeyed" his wife's orders. Dot, I look forward to seeing how you handle this very sensitive issue and have no doubt that you will do a great job! Now, about Ridge and Taylor. I'm enjoying Taylor's new attitude and the way she puts Ridge in his place. No way do I feel sorry for Ridge. In fact, I find his jealousy quite offensive especially in light of his shenanigans with Vanessa. Now, Taylor is practically already out the door, but if and when she ever finds out about Vanessa, that turkey is done! I'm also enjoying Chris. I suspect that Ridge won't know what hit him because Chris can be as arrogant as Ridge! LOL! This whole chapter is just excellent and I look forward to seeing what you have planned next. Thank you for all the very kind words. I’m going to deal with the Bridget comments first and then get onto the fun stuff LOL! This, as you know is a hard and a personal story to me. Living with HIV can be very hard. It’s something that never leaves your consciousness, not for more than a few minutes or maybe even seconds. Everything in life is colored by it and you tend to live with it in the back of your mind effecting just about every decision you make, big or small. Your stories are very true and people can be very ignorant. You can’t even begin to imagine how you could get the most unexpected reactions from people, good or bad and how people you thought you could count on would run scared and turn on you. Like I’ve said to others, I am going to try and educate but in an entertaining way. I’m not going to preach, but I am going to show different reactions, fears and mistakes. We don’t know what Bridget has done since she got the news. Has she ignored it, has she seen another doctor? Has she told anyone? Is she HIV or does she actually have AIDS? Could it be a false positive? All valid and all possibilities. I don’t want to ruin the drama and the emotional scenes that I am planning by telling too much. I just hope that I can do it justice and not upset people or bring them down or have them disappointed in what I have planned. I’ve been running a lot of scenarios over in my head and talking them out with one person who is helping me make decisions about the story. I know what is going to happen, but I am still not sure exactly how many steps will take us there. So please, bear with me and I think you’ll all find the story is still good. Okay, now on to the good stuff! I know a lot of people aren’t sold on Jade or even on Joey. I know he has a lot to make up for, but I think he is worth it. I’m really liking the dynamics of Joey and Ade. They are both so hot and they were both not expecting this to happen with each other. We now know that Joey has always been attracted to her, but I don’t think that is much of a surprise. Adrienne is the one who is really fighting it. She has thought of him as her little brother, but suddenly she just sees him as a very desirable man. I’m not sure what kind of support they are going to get if they do get together. Mike is a jealous kind of guy and I think he’s very protective too. I’m not sure he is going to like this one bit. Brooke may not like seeing his reaction either. It can be fun LOL! Joey didn’t get rid of the wires because he knew if he did he’d alert Blake to the fact that he had been there. And even if Blake only thought that he did it out of anger or to protect Michael, he’d make sure Joey never got in again. Joey couldn’t risk that until he knew that he wouldn’t need to use the tapes or the tracking again. Michael did understand that, even if Brooke and Taylor weren’t happy about it. Now the test will be what Joey does now that Bridget is home. I had to smile about your reaction to the dream too. I wanted it very confusing , but clear enough if you reread it. I did have a lot of fun writing it. Everyone is saying they were sure Brooke was dreaming, and the funny thing is that that was never my intention. But it did work didn’t it? LOL! Jacob helped Bridget a lot by convincing her to follow her heart and go home, and by going with her so she didn’t have to do it alone. Bridget is growing up, I guess she has to now. But you’re also right, the initial lies that she and Sara told may still hurt Jason. I didn’t expect to have as much fun writing the Michael and Eric scenes as I did. I’ve had them at odds on and off since the beginning of my story but I wanted them to both finally see that they were both feeling the loss and the pain and that they both loved Bridget and wanted her home and that they had the common bond of being fathers. Eric was baiting Michael and with his temper I’m sure you were afraid he’d do something stupid and costly. I remembered that Colin had been helpful in the past, so putting him in the coffeehouse with Michael worked best for me. I think the dynamics with Brooke, Michael and Eric have improved, but when Eric finds out about Bridget that could fall apart again. Now my dear, you’re getting Bell’s Stephanie confused with mine LOL! I’ve never really shown my Stephanie to be very concerned with Bridget. I took her as the one who wouldn’t let her have the silver rattle and who always resented Bridget. But still, I think she should be a little more concerned about Eric’s daughter. But then she hit gold with Keith didn’t she? Not only did she find a man to get her groove on with, but he hates Michael. Wow! She is in hog heaven! In Keith’s defense, he does want Jason to have a good home, but he doesn’t think that he should be with someone who would give Michael access and I think our Dr. Ehlers is a homophobe too! Brooke and Michael are very much in tune and they are the best thing that happened to each other. They support each other with everything and they are so much in love. And now they are eagerly anticipating resuming their very healthy sexual life. But I fear, as you do, that that will have to be put on hold once more. But yes, Brooke is now feeling that she can fully enjoy her baby. I wonder if she will feel guilty for that when she learns Bridget’s news? You asked if Bridget had told Jacob and that that was what was his main motivation in getting her home. Well I usually don’t answer questions like that, but no, Bridget didn’t tell him. He was just doing it because he is a good man and he cared about her and wanted to help her. But he WILL play a larger part in her life. I’ve mentioned that he has connections in town and I will see that he has reason to return and once he does, he will be a part of Bridget’s life again. Ridge loves Taylor and he is finally getting scared that he really is going to lose her. She loves him and is finding it very hard to make that final break from him. But she wants more for herself. She knows that Ridge was interested in Vanessa, but she doesn’t know how far that has gone. Now I am going to give you a mini spoiler. The Brooke/Michael vow renewal WILL happen and the reception WILL happen and Vanessa WILL be there. And Taylor WILL be there. And Ridge WILL be there. And Chris WILL be there. LOL! So you will get some fireworks! LOL! As well as a very romantic night for the Copelands. Thanks so much for the quick and thoughtful comments!

I am glad for your reaction to Mike and Eric. I wanted you angry with Eric, I really did, but then I wanted both of them to see each other for what they were. They both realized they were judging the other and that they really did both want the same thing. Will it last now that we know about Bridget though? I think it was best she turned to Michael, not just because he had been through it but because he is a doctor, because he can be calmer than Brooke and because that would have just been too hard. But she IS going to have to tell Brooke. Satanie and Keith will be up to no good, and that no good is going to get worse and worse as some new things come out!

Dearest Dot - You're amazing. You keep showing up the writers on the show with every chapter of every story. It's a shame they don't have any clue about the real talent out there that would save the dreadful storylines we have to endure at the moment.
The whole chapter was great and I loved Ade & Joey - what a great couple. You have handled your reveal of the Bridget secret with amazing sensitivity and created a real, emotional and scared young girl. I know that you will present this storyline in the best possible way.
Congrats again - you're sensational.

Congrats again - you're sensational. Awwwwwhh thank you so much. I guess the thing is that I care about my characters. Sometimes I think Brad and crew just don't care at all. I'm enjoying Joey and Ade, they could really be happy together if they'd let themselves. But there will be some people not too happy when they find out. Bridget is very scared and now we can understand a bit why she chose to leave. I know it will be very hard to write the scene when Brooke finds out. Thanks for taking time to read and respond!

Brava! Brava! This chapter is something that I've waited a very long time to read and you didn't disappoint me.
Eric has been an offhand father and now he's paying the price. He's very jealous of Mike's relationship with Bridget because this man was becoming close to his daughter. I'm just glad that Mike was able to talk some sense into Eric. Bridget has two parents, Brooke and Eric and one stepfather. They have to be able to relate to each other. Eric is her father but she has a closer relationship with Brooke and Mike.
Chris seems to be getting closer to Taylor, something that the jealous Ridge doesn't like. This is typical Ridge behavior. I think that Taylor should make a perement break with Ridge. File the papers and try to start a new life. She and Ridge have been down this road before and it never works.
Stephanie and Keith are a sickening combination just because of their hatred of Mike and Brooke. Without Eric to reel her in Stephanie is capable of anything. I wouldn't have a problem with Keith and Stephanie IF it wasn't for the fact that they've both been obsessive about Mike and Brooke. I just can't figure out what could happen.
Ade and Joey are a HOT item! WOW. This was something else with all those dreams. I can't wait for the real thing. There will no doubt be a real thing too becaus there is something there. Joey really touched me when he told Ade how he was only jealous of Mike when he had married her. Ade is something that he had wanted for such a long time.
Bridget is finally home. She also has a lot of issue to deal with. Her illness isn't something that is going to go away. So she's making the first really big step by telling Mike. It's going to be a hard road for her. Living with AIDS so young and scared but with the love of her family, she can do it. I really can't wait to see what you are going to do with this story.
Loved the story. it was fantastic.

Living with AIDS so young and scared but with the love of her family, she can do it. I really can't wait to see what you are going to do with this story. Loved the story. it was fantastic. Hey Missy, I didn't see that you finally were able to get online. Glad to see you and glad you enjoyed the chapter. I know it's your favorite of my stories. Eric hasn't been very involved with his children with Brooke's lives. He does have a lot on his plate and he always trusted Brooke to raise them well. Right from the start both he and Ridge had major reservations about Michael. Adding that to the jealously over Michael's closeness to Bridget created a very strong friction. Michael has a very nasty temper and it took just about everything that he had to hold it all in and just think about Bridget. I think when he got home and saw his own daughter, Michael realized just how important Bridget is to Eric. The two men do have a lot in common, and it is good for them if they can get along, but I think things might get bad again before they get better. Chris is attracted to Taylor, but he's been through two divorces of his own already and he doesn't want the drama. I think Taylor should make a break from Ridge and perhaps try to start something with Chris. They do have a lot in common and she is attracted to him too. Keith hates Michael, but he doesn't hate Brooke. Stephanie hates them both and might be able to turn Keith against Brooke too. They could have just had a healthy adult relationship, but I think it will be turned into something more about mutual hate than mutual love. Things will not go well for the Copelands. I really am liking Joey and Ade. Ade used to think of Joey as a younger brother, but it is now known that he has always wanted her. They can be very hot if Ade just stops worrying and lets it happen. The worst that could happen is they aren't suited and it goes no where. Why not just take a chance. I'm not sure Michael will be too happy though LOL! Bridget was brave to come home on her own. She just didn't want to deal with it alone anymore and the one person she felt that she could trust was Michael. It's going to be difficult for everyone but she will have a lot of support and love. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this chapter and I hope I don't make you wait too long for more. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I've had those dream within a dream before - very bizarre. You had me with the first one AND the second one. They were smoking! I have a feelings Ade's carnal desire is going to beat out her head on this one...especially with Joey's confession that he was jealous when Michael married her.
The prospect of Satanie and Keith teaming up against Michael and Brooke is scary.
I'm glad that Bridget is back and has confided in Michael. That underlies how special their relationship is when she trusts him enough with this huge issue. I'm guessing that Bridget tested HIV positive and she just assumes that equal AIDS. Not sure if this will be a "scare" with test results mixups or if you will go all the way with it. Either way, I know you will be true to the story.
Nice touch when Michael could relate to Eric better once he got home and held Bethany in his arms. It's so true that once you have a child you see things so differently. I've known past storylines that would be awful, like a baby in the hospital. But now that I have a baby I can FEEL and relate so much more about how awful it would be.
Hopefully Taylor will stay strong on her course away from Ridge. It will be very difficult for her, but if she goes back, it will be the same shit - just a different day.
Thanks for a great chapter Dot.

Hopefully Taylor will stay strong on her course away from Ridge. It will be very difficult for her, but if she goes back, it will be the same shit - just a different day. Thanks for a great chapter Dot. Hey, I am glad I got you with the dreams. I wasn't sure if I'd get anyone. But apparently it worked! YAY! And yes, I think you're right, Ade doesn't stand a chance, she wants him as much as he wants her. And really, why fight it? There is nothing wrong and if Michael doesn't like it so what? He's happily married. Ehlers and Stephanie are going to be more trouble than you can even imagine. And they will be trouble to anyone who is supportive of Brooke and Michael. Bridget does love and trust Michael. It was easier for her to turn to him, though she is going to have to confide in Brooke too. You have a good point about the test and the AIDS. She is uninformed and she ran before she could get any of the real facts. Look to Michael to really help her in the next chapter. I thought that holding Bethany would open Michael's eyes and change his feelings. I'm so glad that you could relate and that I did it well. I don't have any children but to me that would be something that they would relate and bond over. Taylor is going to have a hard time staying strong. She does love Ridge and he can be very distracting to her. I think she and Chris could be fun, but I don't think Chris will be as easy as Bryan where the Ridge stuff is concerned. Thanks for taking time out to read this! I hope someday soon you could give us some of your story, even if it is a short chapter. I miss Mitchell and Brooke and the rest of them. Your Deacon is so hot!
