Re: A very OP Christmas Part 2...

[Pockets]

Nikki: Hey, Gabe... that car looks like something that was described to me a while ago.

Moira walks over to Ashley, but stops short seeing Naomi.

Moira: 'Ey... they got Colin into 'is room.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley looks at Naomi for a moment, not saying a word as he slowly stands up and starts making his way to room 984. He pauses, looking at Naomi again

Ashley:"His...aunt...she doesn't know yet..."

[Pockets]

Moira goes to Alexis' room.

Moira: They got Colin in room 984.

Alexis looks at her mom, then glances at Alex, almost playfully.

Alexis: If Gabe and Nikki get back before I do, make sure they don't eat my food.

Moira looks over at Ben.

Moira: I guess it's time to see if 'e remembers mey.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Your carbs will be safe with me.

[Jabberwocky]

The doctor stands outside the room, waiting for the family.
Ashley and Naomi are the first ones there.

Saborsky:"He hasn't woken up yet. Is this it or is there more coming?"

Ashley:"There's more..."

[Pockets]

Alexis nods and heads for Colin's room, coming up behind her father, and peering at her brother. Her eyes fill with tears as she looks at him.

Alexis: Colin....

[Jabberwocky]

Saborsky:"We expect he could wake up at any moment. Look, I can't emphasize how important what I'm about to say is. You all need to be careful. If you try to reveal and explain to much to him it could be to much for Colin to handle. We need to handle this slowly and delicately."

A slight groan comes from Colin

Ashley:"...Excuse...excuse me..."

Ashley turns, swiftly walking down the hall. He spots Micah still sitting with Amanda
Ashley:"Micah...we think 'e moit wake up soon."
he indicates to follow

[Pockets]

Moira walks into the room just as Colin groans. She nervously walks over to his bed.

Moira: Colin?

Hearing him groan, Alexis grabs his closest hand with both of hers.

[Cryonix]

Ben watches Moira go, knowing that Colin never accepted him in her life anyway. He walks back over to see Alex and Mandy. Micah gives Amanda a deep kiss before going to Colin's room...

Ben: ....Alex....Mandy....how you kids doing?


Gabe: Ah, were here! God...smell that garlic bread!

[Pockets]

Nikki sniffs the air.

Nikki: Oh so not fair! I wish I knew about this place before!

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley walks along side Micah to the room. His voice faint

Ashley:"Our fathers sinned and are no more, ....and we bear their punishment...."

he sighs as they approach the room


Meanwhile Colin stirs slightly, but remains asleep

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: Hey Ben.

Alex: Hi Ben.... come say hi to your grandkids.

[Cryonix]

Ben: No...they are not my grandkids. I'm just happy to see them healthy. Here, kids....sit with me. I know it's been a rather....trying day for everyone. I'm hoping I can help with that.

Micah: Heh....well...I was once told, the cycle doesn't break until someone lets go. Interesting thought....


Gabe: See, you SHOULD have waited. Come on. I'm getting a mess of that bread.

They walk in...

Woman: Hello, welcome to.....OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! ARE YOU GABRIEL CORTEZ?!?!?!?

Gabe: I am.

Woman: ........fuck me....

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley:"Who told you that?"

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda grabs two armfuls of baby, as does Alex, they both go and sit with Ben.

[Pockets]

Nikki: Excuse me?

Alexis: Hey... Colin... wake up!

[Cryonix]

Ben: I'm concerned about the two of you. I know none of this is easy....considering how much of this family situation you are apart of.

Micah: Heh...my dad.


Gabe: Um...what?

Woman: Right here, on the host stand.

Gabe: Um...my fiancee is standing right here.

Woman: She can watch. Might learn something.

[Pockets]

Nikki laughs harshly, looking the waitress up and down.

Nikki: From you? HA! Not bloody likely. I already gave him far better than that pretty little mind of yours... assuming there's one in there... could ever come up with.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex clears his throat.

Alex: It's OK....

Amanda: No Alex it isn't.... and you wouldn't think it was OK either if your wife wasn't forcing you.

Alex: Cool it Mandy.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley pauses looking at Micah
Ashley:"Do I ask wot 'e was referring to when 'e said that?"

[Cryonix]

Micah: When I spent that last few months with him...he wanted me to tell you that....you were the best friend...he'd ever had.

Micah gives Ashley a picture. It's warn out and tattered...but it's a picture of Ashley winning the FWA World Title...and he and Stu sharing a beer backstage...

Micah: That...that he was sorry.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley looks painfully at the photo, his eyes red and watery
Ashley:"Why the 'ell did I waste so much time with the fecking Edwards? When there was a friendship that COULD 'ave been patched that whole bloody time?"

[Cryonix]

Ben: I wish you two would put aside your family obligations...and just tell me how you really feel. If your frustrated, tell me. I'm a big boy.

Micah: Ashley....are you alright?


Gabe: So um....I'd like to order some food....

Woman: Of course....provided that you give ample....tip...

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda and Alex speak in unison.

Both: I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.

[Pockets]

Nikki pitches her voice more than loudly enough for the waitress to hear.

Nikki: Maybe we should find someone else to serve us... like her manager.
