.... For the time being the girls are right were they should be, under Wes and Edna's watchfull eye.

Absolutely!  They coudn't be in better hands - I dare say even Laura would have a hard time objecting to Edna......and as I typed those words it occurred to me that that would be a really, really interesting meeting! LOL!

....... Do you remember some of my comments about them in The Long Way Home Louise? Especailly when they barged in on our boys in bed!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Oh they did get on my tits BIG time. Well they,d better bloody well behave themselves whilst they are here and not pester Colson too much. .....

    Oh, do I ever remember, souxi!  We may have to get you some of Ellery's meditation tapes now that the girls are in town!

Yes well done indeed Louise and thank you. Hey I had an idea lol. Once you,ve done writing about the girls, you can do the honeymoon, come on our boys deserve it lol, and THEN I thought, (nearer christmas mind you) how about a story with everyone, Colson, Ellery and the girls, AND Jeremy and Nick, having christmas dinner at Wes and Edna,s but with Aunt Julia as a guest of honour. OMG that would be a riot lol. Remember her priceless comments at the last dinner  our boys went too? She was so awful, I couldn,t beleive some of the things she said. fgs. And just imagine if, God forbid, because of this terrible rape, poor Pam ended up pregnant. Can you imagine what Aunt Julia would have to say about that Don,t bear thinking about lol. Just an evil thought anyway.

Oh, yes. We need this meeting. And so does Laura. I can't hate her, even though her behavior is very upsetting. There's too much history there.

[louisev]

well Soux... one thing I can tell you is that it is not in my plan to have Pam end up pregnant from the attack.  I like to try to stay within the bounds of realism and while it is always possible that unprotected sex leads to pregnancy, any given moment in time fertility ranges about 20% so it is a 1 in 5 chance.  (at least that is what I remember - Leslie our medical expert might correct me on that!) but no I had never er, conceived, of further repercussions for Pam that way.  However, any issues to do with rape tend to get under Jeremy's skin, which we may see come up later in the "Grey Girls."

Agreed, Fabienne.  Well said.

I think of Laura as a woman who has always been fundamentally unprepared to deal with the uncomfortable facts of her life outside of the preexisting assumptions about familial duty and traditional roles, and this makes people rigid and insensitive when they would otherwise exhibit more sensitivity.  I have never thought of her as a "bad woman" but she still has strong feelings for Colson, and has never accepted his being gay.  And having to look the facts in the eye and realize that her daughters are more flexible, more forgiving, and ARE able to grow out of her mindset, makes her even more uncomfortable and unaccepting.

Ode to "The Rookie"

On a stakeout in the dead of night
Our Rookie is ready when things ignite
When his mentor has to fire a shot
He proves once again he is "Jeremy-on-the-spot"
"Selectmen" and the "Brotherhood" and a "Friend" who is no friend
All seem to be conspiring in a disturbing trend
Making deals with crooks like Amos makes Ellery see red
And his biting words to Paula fill our Rookie with dread
But in the midst of all the usual commotion
Our Rookie gets the good word on his promotion

Bank accounts and transfers and a missing $50,000
Make all the good guys hot under their collars
Ellery's blood pressure is making him dizzy
But that won't stop him and Colson from "getting busy"
And even though our Rookie is ripe from his trip to Yuma
His Nicky is still ready to jump on him like a puma
When Ellery fears that his time is getting short
Colson turns to Wesley for some practical support
That trip to Puerto Rico is looking better and better
Will it stop Ellery from being a fretter?

Next thing you know there are some interesting twists
Involving Chief Deputy Cantrell's wrists
Even though it makes for a side-splitting scene
It has poor Nicky turning green
For his man has been called upon to provide aid
Good thing his hacksaw has a sharp blade!
But we soon find out what's lurking in our Rookie's mind
It seems he harbors fantasies about ties that bind!

But things are also heating up in downtown Tourmaline
Where a plea agreement meeting turns into an ugly scene
Ellery and Paula are once again butting heads
Every time they meet the animosity spreads
But Ellery knows that Amos in a black satin camisole
May turn out to be his ace-in-the-hole
He makes a good deal, but it's behind Paula's back
And the A.D.A. understandably goes on the attack
Sheriff Brown has had it with Ellery's sass
And tells him to stop being an arrogant jackass
But Paula proves again that she's a class act
And is smart enough to bring about a much-needed pact

Back at the Red Stallion Lance makes his return
And Wayne's appearance at the house gives Colson heartburn
When Wayne mixes booze and pills things turn downright scary
Ellery wants to help him but he's still a little wary

Things turn from bad to worse with a shocking situation
How will Colson react to this heartbreaking revelation?
Colson's daughter needs him for emotional support
And Ellery may be some help if matters go to court
Colson is a nervous wreck, he's not sure how to act
And Edna gives some good advice with her usual tact

But Edna is a feisty one as Wayne is quick to see
When he calls Ellery with a whining plea
He is mad at Lauren for not filling his glass
And our girl Edna threatens to kick his ass!

The girls are settled safely with Wes and Edna Brown
But who knows what will happen now that the Grey Girls have come to town!

[louisev]

yay, now that was one sass-filled poem, Marie!!!
