     Fox Crane entered the hotel. He was on vacation with his girlfriend Angel.
     "So, shall we ask for the largest suite available?" Angel asked, batting her eyelashes as she ran a hand through Fox's hair, flirting overtime with him.

     "Anything we want is ours, I finally got Alastair to loan me some cash." Fox said. Fox and Angel walked up to the hotel desk.

     "I'd like the largest suite available," Fox said.

     "Don't you all," The girl at the desk said sarcastically.

     "I don't like your tone," Fox said.

     "Well, the last couple that was there was arrested because saying they got a little carried away with their holiday rendevous would be an understatement, let's just say they were caught chopping the hotel room up with an axe. They tried to blame it on some crazy psycho but we weren't buying it."

     "I'm Fox Crane, so you better give me the next biggest room." Fox said.

     "Crane?" The woman asked, glaring at Fox.

     "What is your problem?" Angel asked. "All my boyfriend and I want to do is spend the holiday together."

     "Well, I don't think you'll be enjoying the holiday too much," The woman said.

     "Why not? My boyfriend told you to give him a room, his last name is Crane. You do know of the Cranes, don't you?" Angel asked.

     "Maybe I should have brought Kayla, she'd be so much more agressive in getting the room." Fox thought.
     "Just give us the room, or my grandfather is going to hear about this. Nobody says no to a Crane."

     "That's where you're wrong," The woman said.

     "Excuse me?" Angel exclaimed.

     "We just arrested Julian and Rebecca Crane," The woman said. "So apparently we do say no to Cranes."

     "Rebecca Crane?" Fox asked, this being news to him.

     "They were taken to jail a few hours ago," The woman said.

     "Come on, Angel, there's been a change of plans," Fox said.

     "But Fox..." Angel said.

     "I'm going to pay my father a much overdue visit." Fox said.

     "Could our luck get any worse?" Julian asked.

     "I don't think so," Rebecca said, not feeling well.

     "I don't know about you two, but I'm getting pretty damn tired, and you two are hogging the beds. I call dibs on the bottom bunk!" Mrs. Wallace said.

     "Pookey and I have shared a bed since before we were married, but these beds are barely big enough for one person!"

     "Well, la de da, I can't exactly get up on the top bunk, so get up there." Mrs. Wallace said.

     "Go away," Rebecca said.

     "You go away," Mrs. Wallace said. Rebecca quickly jumped up and climbed on the top bunk when Mrs. Wallace started swinging her walker at her.

     "Ow, these matress springs are really stabbing me in the back," Julian complained. Julian was soon scrunched against the wall. Julian noticed Rebecca was looking a little pale. "Are you ok?"

     "Must be that horrible prison food," Rebecca said.

     "Yeah, I definitely learned that I need to start showing the kitchen staff some more appreciation." Julian said.

     "Mr. And Mrs. Crane?" The gauard asked.

     "Yes?" Julian and Rebecca said, hoping they were being bailed out.

     "Mr. Crane, your son just paid your bail," The gaurd said. Not paying any attention, Julian and Rebecca threw their arms around each other and squealed happily.

"We're free!" Julian and Rebecca cheered.

"What about me? Don't I get bailed out too?" Mrs. Wallace asked.

"You? No." The gaurd said.

"Gwenny must have bailed us out," Rebecca said happily.

"No, it wasn't Gwen." A voice said.

"Oh no, that voice..." Julian whispered.

"Pookey, what's going on?" Rebecca asked. Fox Crane stepped in front of the cell.

     "Fox?" Julian and Rebecca asked in surpise. Fox was followed by Angel.

     "Nobody ever told me that you ditched mother to run off and marry Gwen's mother." Fox complained.

     "That's right, I'm your step mother now." Rebecca said.

     "Ivy is busy chasing after Cheif Bennette and trying to break up Sam and Grace's marraige," Julian said. "The witch of the east is much overdue to have a house dropped on her."

     "You and mom are always fighting!" Fox complained.

     "Well, your mom and I are divorced." Julian said.

     "Divorced?" Fox yelled.

     "Yes, divorced." Julian said.

     "I can't wait to get out of here and get Allan from Gwen so she can get back to working on her relationship with Allan," Rebecca said.

     "Allan?" Fox asked. "Who's Allan?"

     "My pookey's and my son," Rebecca said.

     "Son!?" Fox exclaimed. "Nobody bothers to inform me of anything anymore, do they?"

"Well, you've been out of Harmony for years and haven't exactly contacted us," Julian said.

     "Pookey, let's get out of here so we can make sure that Antonio doesn't break up Ethan and Gwen!" Rebecca said.

     "Pookey?" Fox asked with a smirk, struggling to keep from laughing.

     "Well, this sure is getting interesting, but you don't happen to have a cellphone on you by any chance while the gaurds aren't watching, do you, Foxy boy?" Mrs. Wallace asked. Julian and Rebecca signaled at him to say no.

     "No," Fox said, thinking Mrs. Wallace was crazy. "You belong here."

     Julian and Rebecca left prison.

     "Freedom!" Julian and Rebecca said. Julian looked at the sidewalk. "Oh precious sidewalk, oh I could kiss you!"

      "Dad, you were only in jail for about six hours." Fox said.

     "Six hours too long if you ask me," Rebecca said. "Now let's just find another hotel so we can finish our vacation, I doubt they'll let us get another room there, they'd probably chase us off on sight. Then we can get back to trying to keep Antonio away from Gwen, I hope they've arrested Theresa by the time we get back to Harmony."

     "Theresa?" Fox asked. "Antonio?"

     "Those Lopez-Fitzgeralds are up to no good. First Antonio wants to marry my sister, now she's married to his brother Luis, Theresa's been chasing after Ethan for years now trying to get her hands on the Crane fortune, she tried to get back at us by kidnapping Allan, now Ethan is helping her run from the police." Julian explained.

     "IF she succeeds in breaking up Ethan and Gwen, I'll strangle her myself if she doesn't end up in prison first." Rebecca said.

     "Thanks for bailing us out," Julian said.

     "Don't mention it," Fox said. Fox turned to Angel. "Let's go back to the hotel."

     "Can we go shopping first, my sly foxy?" Angel asked.

     "Ok, Angel," Fox said.

     "Something tells me that Fox is up to something," Julian said.

     "He didn't seem to like the idea of us being married too well," Rebecca said.

     "Just watch your back around Fox," Julian advised. "Fox takes after me more than any of the others, but he is very devious."

     "Now I see the point of his nickname," Rebecca said.
 

     "Mother, quick, call doctor Russell," Luis said. Pilar walked inside. A while later, Eve arrived to check on Sheridan.

     "Sheridan, how are you feeling?" Eve asked. SHeridan had came to.

     "Better than I was earlier." Sheridan said.

     "Luis, can you leave the room for a minute?" Eve asked. Luis and the others left the room. "Sheridan, how long have you been feeling like this?"

     "About a week or so now. I've been getting tired really easy and feeling sick to my stomach," Sheridan said. "Its not constantly," Sheridan said. Eve continued to ask Sheridan questions.

     "There's a test I need you to take," Eve said. Eve reached into her medical bag and handed Sheridan a pregnancy test."

     "You think I could be pregnant?" Sheridan asked.

     "Sheridan, I want you to call me soon and make an appointment," Eve said. Eve looked at her pager. "That's the hospital," Eve said. "I have to check on a patient."
 

     "Kay, I thought of a good idea," Faith said. "Why don't we get rid of Grace tomorrow and you, me and Charity will go shopping that way Grace and Charity won't be anywhere near each other?"

     "That sounds fun, I haven't had time to go shopping in a while," Kay said.

     "I'll even treat you both to lunch and maybe a movie," Faith said.

     "I wish Charity and I could trade mothers," Kay said.

     "Don't tell Charity anything yet, we have to think of the perfect diversion to get rid of Grace." Faith said. "Let me know if you think of anything else you want to do tomorrow."

     "Wow, mom never asked me what I wanted to do, it was all Charity, John, Charity, John, Charity, David." Kay thought. Kay thought of the perfect way to make Grace mad.

     "Kay, have you seen my tea sets that have the little tomatoe soup cakes painted on them?" Grace asked.

     "Oh, mom said she was looking for a glass to get a glass of water last night and saw them in the cabinet," Kay said.

     "Kay, what did you just say?" Grace asked suspiciously. Kay's eyes widened, pretending to realize what she had accidentally said.

     "Well, you two are identical twins." Kay said.

     "Well as long as that's all it was. Oh, Charity and Miguel are going to aparty with one of Miguel's friends out of town who moved away a while back on New Year's, I told them they could borrow your car."

     "Mom, I just bought that car! Out of my own money I was saving for years working part time at your Bed and Breakfast during my free time!" Kay said. "Reese and I might have had plans!"

     "Kay, Miguel and Charity need your car." Grace said.

     "Reese's car is in the shop and his dad is going to a party so he'll have the convertable!" Kay said.
 

     "Theresa, how much more mistletoe did you put up?" Ethan asked curiously.

     "Oh, Ethan, there's one more mistletoe we have to kiss under," Theresa said. THeresa slyly led Ethan into the bedroom. "Surprise!" Thersa said. Theresa pointed above the bed.

     "Theresa, I'm married to Gwen." Ethan said.

     "Ethan, you know the rule, you have to kiss under the mistletoe!" Theresa said. Ethan tried to protest, but Theresa dragged him onto the bed and kissed him under the mistletoe!
 

     Julian and Rebecca had got Allan from Gwen and checked into another hotel.

     "I just wish I could figure out what those strange spells I've been having lately are," Rebecca said.

     "Do you think you could be pregnant again?" Julian asked, remembering finding out about Allan.

     "I don't know," Rebecca said. Rebecca felt the symptoms returning. "There it is again," Rebecca said.

     "Becky, this has been going on for several days now," Julian said. "I think we should call a doctor."

     "Maybe you're right," Rebecca said. Julian looked through a phone book.
 

     Max angrilly sulked around the Russell house.

     "What is wrong with you?" David asked.

     "It's Coach Russell." Max said. "He won't back off about this stupid tennis thing. He won't even listen to Simone!"

     "Max, I thought of a way to get rid of Coach Russel." David said.

     "Get rid of Coach Russell?" Max asked in confusion. "TC is Simone's father. I don't want to cause any trouble for her family."

     "Think about it," David said. "TC is constantly at Eve's throat, he never gives Whitney a moment's peace, he is pushing this tennis thing, does this sound like something Eve deserves? Or Simone?" Max thought for a moment.

     "Maybe you're right," David said.

     "Whatever gets TC to mind his own business," Max said reluctantly.

     "I knew there was still some street kid in you," David thought deviously. "Eve, you will be mine soon." David thought.
