Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin Schill" data-source="post: 26477">Thank you Sanda. I am glad that you still love this story. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />You'll find out a bit later what will happen with Bobby, Pam, Christopher & Rebecca. But first it's time to go back to England...The next day in London, England, Sue Ellen was standing in a pink room with a high ceiling, pink wall to wall carpet, flower curtains by the windows and a vanity table and four white closets with glass doors. It was the master bedroom she shared with Don. A big suitcase was laying open on the big double bed and the closet doors were open, as Sue Ellen was busy packing for her USA trip. Walking back and forwards between her closets and the bed she could feel the butterflies roam around in her stomach, as a part of her still couldn’t believe that she was actually going back to Southfork tomorrow. What the hell am I doing going back there? A part of her was starting to have second thoughts about this. Because the idea of seeing JR again both scared and excited her and she hated feeling like this. What if he breaks down my defenses again? Sue Ellen pondered, as she was feeling conflicted about this trip. However once the door to their bedroom opened and her husband walked into the room she was once again reminded of why she was going across the Atlantic. To get away from Don!Don crossed his arms and said angrily, “I can’t believe you’re actually going on this trip!”“We’ve been through this before Don. I am just going to Texas for a month to see my family!”“Those bloody Ewings are not your family anymore!”“Well they are my son’s family and that makes them my family!” Sue Ellen insisted stubbornly. “Besides I thought we might head down to Santa Fe to see my Mama too!”“Your Mama?” Don echoed displeased. “Are you sure that’s such a good idea?”“Sure why not?”“Well you know how you get whenever your mother’s around.”“Yeah but she’s still my mama and I haven’t seen her since Christmas two years ago…”“Well it’s not my fault she decided to go on a cruise last Christmas rather than come visit us in England…”“It isn’t?” Sue Ellen asked angrily.“Oh come on Sue Ellen surely you can’t blame me for…”“Cut it out Don. I found the credit card receipt. You paid for that trip just to get rid of her!”“Alright so what if I did?” Don asked defensively. “It’s not my fault she doesn’t like me. Besides she’s a controlling old bitch and you know it!”“Don you’re talking about my mother!” Sue Ellen said offended.“Yeah but that doesn’t make it less true. Besides any mother who’d rather go on a cruise than spend time with her daughter and grandson at Christmas is not worth getting worked up over…”“It still was a rotten thing to do…”“So is leaving on this trip,” Don insisted. “So what can I do to convince you to stay?”“Nothing, since I’m going…”“Even if I file for a divorce when you’re gone?” Don asked.His words caught Sue Ellen off guard as she stopped dead in her track. It’s the second time he’s mentioned a divorce, what if he’s serious? She bit her lip as a part of her was starting to get worried. Yet she had too much pride to show her insecurities to him so she just said, “You wouldn’t!” “What makes you so sure?” Don challenged her.“Because you’d be miserable without me…”“True but what if I would?” Don asked. “What if it came down to a choice between me, your husband, or this trip to Southfork?”“Hey that’s not fair. I’ve already promised John Ross!”“Who said anything about being fair?” Don asked. “I’m just asking you, would you stay if our marriage depended upon it?”Sue Ellen bit her lip again, as she didn’t like the way this conversation was going. Since what he was really asking her to do was making the impossible choice between him and her son and she wouldn’t do it. Not again. Sue Ellen promised herself mentally. Because she had already put Don before her son once and that almost broke her heart, so she felt like she just couldn’t do it again. However she couldn’t tell Don that so she didn’t really know what to say and luckily before she had to answer, John Ross walked into the room, with a wireless phone pressed against his ear, “Hey mom, dad wants to know which time he should pick us up at the airport tomorrow?”“He won’t, since your mom’s not going!” Don said grumpily.“But Mama you promised!” John Ross said disappointed. Sue Ellen sighed, “I know John Ross but…” Sue Ellen took a deep breath, as she looked from her husband to her son. Both were looking at her like they wanted something from her and it angered her that she had to make one of them disappointed.“You’re not having second thoughts about this are you?” John Ross asked worriedly. “I mean grandma and grandpa Farlow and everyone are counting on you to come and they’d be so disappointed if you’d change your mind…”Seeing the pleading look in her son’s blue green eyes she knew that she had to stick to her promise. So she took a deep breath before she said, “Of course I haven’t changed my mind. You can tell your dad to pick us up at 1.30 tomorrow.”“Thanks mom, you’re the best!” John Ross grinned, as he gave her a kiss on the cheek before he said excitedly into the phone, “Did you hear that dad, you can pick us up at the airport tomorrow at 1.30!” John Ross gave Don his best shit eating grin, which he knew annoyed the hell out of his step-father.Surely enough Don’s face was turning red with anger, “But Sue Ellen I thought…”“Not another word Don, I’ve already promised John Ross that I’m going with him to Dallas this summer and that’s final. So either you can sulk about it or you can drive us to the airport tomorrow!”Don looked disappointed from Sue Ellen’s determined face to John Ross smug face as he kept talking to his father. Hearing John Ross talk was getting on his nerves and he could feel the anger build up within him as he knew that it was the bloody kids’ fault. Everything was just fine before that monster child came to live with them four years ago. Seeing the gloating expression on his step-son’s face Don felt like slapping the little bastard, but knowing better than that he simply turned around and walked away with angry steps, slamming the door behind him. Watching him go, Sue Ellen sighed, as she couldn’t help but worrying about what this trip would do to her marriage. But John Ross just smiled, as he’d kept up his end of the bargain. Soon his mother would be out of the clutches of that Lockwood fellow and back at Southfork where his dad could work his charm on her. Yes John Ross surely had much to smile about as he knew that round three was definitely won.</blockquote>
