[OOC: She turned out way longer than expected

More are coming.

'Well someone is in a flirtatious mood.To what do I owe the pleasure'. "It's the wine" She told him, holding it up as a bit of a giggle escaped her lips. Now, for Tess Valmout to giggle, it was a rare thing. It was only something she did when she was drunk. She never did it sober no matter how good of a mood she was in. It's was a sign that she was on her way to getting wasted.

She decided, that since she was away from her chilren for a night, that there was no reason she couldn't get a little drunk. It wasn't like she had to go home and take care of them. That's what her nanny was for. She wasn't proud of the fact that she had a nanny when she had been so dead set on not having one after the babies were born but seeing as how she was now on her own, she needed a nanny to keep her sane. There was no way she'd be able to do all of it without help.

'Yes,I'm still with Ridley.I stick to a plan when I have one'. "I admire you for that, but don't you get bored?" She asked with a tilt of her head as she took a sip from her glass since it was raised up from before. At mention of plans, the favor she asked him to do came to her but she chose not to speak about it. She knew talking about her exhusband would kill her buzz and that was the las thing she wanted. She was in a good mood and talk of Evan was just going to have to wait until another day. "I would get bored" She added on as an after thought. She couldn't imagine running a scam on a person for as long as Carver has done with Ridley. She got bored so easily.

Luckily, with this scam she was running as a favor to Carver, she couldn't see her self getting bored. The world of modeling and fashion was always changing and evolving, which kept her on her toes. She loved it. It gave her such a rush that she couldn't explain. She didn't know that she missed it so much until she got back into it. Really, if it hadn't been for that photographer that got a little too handsy with her, she would have never quit. That wasn't going to happen this time. Nothing was going to make her quit until she got the job that Carver wanted her to do done. Maybe she wouldn't even quit after that. Who knows.

'You know you'd actually be surprised...Ridley isn't as innocent as she looks'. She let out a laugh hearing that and looked at him like he was crazy. "Yeah okay" She stated like she didn't believe him. Good girls weren't good in bed and to her, Ridley was a good girl. True, she didn't know anything about the girl, but judging a book by it's over, the girl looked pretty damn innocent to her. There was no way she could be a good fuck. Just no way.

'...though I'm sure she can't hold a candle to you'. "Damn right she couldn't" She told him with absolute confidence as a smirk laid on her lips. As daring as she was, she stepped forward until there was hardly any space between them then she leaned up and whispered in his ear in a sulty voice. "Maybe you can find out sometime" Did she care that he was 'with' Ridley? No, not really. That wasn't real anyway so it didn't count. He wouldn't be doing anything wrong in her eyes.

She would be lieing if she said she wasn't attracted to him, that she had always been attracted to him. Even when he was conning her mother and step father, she was attracted to him. Back then, though, she was too busy trying to expose him to think about up slipping into bed with him. Now, however, was a different story. She wouldn't hesiste if she got the oppertunity to jump his bones. She let out a hot breath against his ear for a second just to get him going then she pulled back just alittle bit so she could look at him. She said nothing as she stared up at him with lustfilled blue eyes and brought her glass up to take a sip of her drink again.

'No I refuse. Cook is way better than you.' Paige insisted with a teasing grin. Faking hurt, punching his heart with his fist as if to say her comment went straight to the heart. "Ouch that was cruel..Whatever happened to inflating a mans ego just because your dating him?" Tommy joked, giving her a small half smile as they walked down the food line together. Once she had her plate full they stepped away from the table a bit to give others room to get some appetizers. He had to admit the food looked good. He normally wasn’t one for all that fancy smancy caviar and whatever else rich people like to eat but what she had on her plate looked damn good…And that smell, that really yummy smell coming from the food, certainly wasn’t help his growling stomach. Sighing, with a slight playful roll of his eyes Tommy grabbed a piece of the finger food of her plate. It was one of those tiny little sandwiches he only thought existed at the fancy parties you see in the movies. They do exist! “Fine…I’ll try one thing.” Tommy laughed when he saw the look Paige was giving him. “What? You insisted this cook is better than me..Your really leaving me no choice but to find out for myself.” He teased, making a funny face at her before trying the food. He was taken by surprise unprepared for he just ate too taste that good. Looking to Paige with a surprised look his eyes went a little wider as he finished up the sandwich. “Oh my God..This is good..Like really really good..” Paige him a ‘I told you so’ face and Tommy just shook his head. “Well you didn’t say it was that good!” He laughed as he reached to grab something else off her plate. When she suddenly handed it to him he looked at her with slight confusion in his features.

'I have to go find the little girl's room. I'll be back.' Paige explained, giving him a quick kiss. He was about to tell her he’d be here waiting but she was gone having disappeared amongst the crowd before he even had a chance to open his mouth. Shrugging it off he looked down at the plate in his hand while walking away a few more feet away from the table. He was thinking about what to try next when a small figure bumped into him from the side, taken him by surprise Tommy lost his balance a bit causing him to drop Paige’s plate of food. 'I am so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. It's completely my fault.' He heard and looked up to see a young pregnant blonde girl. "Don't worry about it. I didn't get any on me so..No damage done." Tommy assured her, laughing it off with a small wave of his hand. The girl looked somewhat familiar, like he may have seen her once or twice before but he couldn't place where, or when for that matter. He bent down to pick up some of the broken glass but didn’t get too far. Someone who looked like a butler interrupted him insisting he would clean it up. Tommy’s always been the type to clean up his own messes but at the butlers persistence he decided the hell with it. He wanted to get Paige another plate before she came back anyways. Tommy looked to the blonde girl as he stood back up. “I guess I better get another plate or my girlfriend might kill me.” He joked with a small laugh. As they made their way down to where the food line began Tommy was relieved to see the line hadn’t gotten too long.

"No." Derek shook his head at her. "I won't be happy until you start staying away from him too but I guess there's really nothing I can do about that right now is there?" He sighed at the stubborn look she gave him. This was going to be harder than he thought. His best bet was to hope Hal would screw up and she would realize the type of person he is and why she shouldn't be around him. "Just...Be careful." With those words he looked at her once more before walking away. There was nothing he could really do and he had to find his date..If she even came he was beginning to think she really did stand him up. Why did his parents call him? Why did they think he would know how to help her? It's not like he was on the best of terms with his parents either. The fact that they even called him at all was a surprise. At first he thought his sister was better off away from them for awhile, it was what he needed when he left home after high school. He wanted to see her and help her in any way he could, of course he wanted to help she’s his sister.

And he thought he could, he thought he could be the one to help her. They use to be close..What happened? It was like she hated him now and he didn't know how to fix it..He didn't even know where to start. Every time he tries she shuts him down. He's really tried, he's been trying but she just won't..She doesn't want to. Derek was abruptly torn from his thoughts when he suddenly ran into someone. Or maybe she ran into him. He wasn't really sure he hadn't been paying attention. "Sorry.." Derek started to apologize, trailing off when he looked up and met eyes with Jade Beresford..Aka General Hospital's new Cardiologist of one month. She was an intriguing one..Different then most the female nurses and doctors he knew. "Oh it's just you." Derek smirked, unable to stop his eyes from giving her body a once over. She looked good. He couldn't deny that..But that didn't change the fact that she could irritate the hell out of him more than anyone he knew. "So..Who's the lucky guy, Jade?" He asked curiously, wondering if she came with anyone.Tag Jade

OOC: More to be coming..Probably later tonight! I added Paige's new PB and your new characters profile Cat. I forgot to add your villian's profile Sarah but if you can repost it for me I'll gladly add it to the first post

Also I wanted to just give everyone a heads up that after Kate/Ryan leave (which will probably be soonish) The storm will get worse and the power can go out..which will lead to the chaos and drama beginning!

**shadow kissed** · 03-17-2009, 06:51 PM

OOC: Serenity and Trent are officially open I guess

Jade Beresford was at her first soiree since she came to town a month ago. She found it hard to really find a costume, but she did settle on a nice dress and a mask, which one of her colleauges from the Hospital lent to her. Although, they told her she could keep it, but she's definitely throwing it out or putting it away somewhere when she's done with it. It's too big and it's not the most flattering thing on earth. At least the dress is good. While at Wyndemere, she thought she could have a couple of drinks. Athough, her date, Steve, a fellow doctor, was around somewhere mingling, she was alone. Jade walked and she bumped into someone. She lifted up her mask a little bit to see who it was. It was Derek Adams, damn. They always seem to banter everytime they're in a room together, and this time it was no exception. He irritated her, she irritated him (most likely), but it wouldn't be any fun if it weren't any other way, right?

"Oh it's just you. So..Who's the lucky guy, Jade?"
Jade laughed at his comment. Derek was hot and everything, but not really her type. Plus, they do work together, so that could be another nail in the proverbial coffin.
"Yes, it's me. Who else were you expecting?" she chuckled at her own question as she scanned the room at all the people that had turned up. She looked at him again when he asked who the lucky guy was. "Wouldn't you like to know?" she asked smirking.
She couldn't help it. She really was irritated by him to no end and the sooner they ended this conversation, the better it'll be. But then again, she didn't want to seem like she came here alone, especially since Steve was nowhere in sight, even though she did come with him.
"It's Steve Massey from Radiology," she said with a grin. "Not that it's any of your business, but since we're talking about dates, who's yours?" she asked.

angel_wings05 · 03-18-2009, 11:53 AM

Natalie laughed at Leigha's comment about her dress. From the looks of it she was wearing one of Ridley's designs, like Natalie, and there was no telling what her sister would do if Leigha spilled anything on the dress. It was kind of strange being there with her and laughing mostly because Natalie really didn't know her. Not well anyways. For a long time she only just heard of Leigha and about Leigha but she didn't know her. Tasha was the only girlfriend of Logan's she really got close to and really knew. When it was revealed she was pregnant with Logan's kid, Natalie took the young girl under her wing and two of them quickly became friends. In more ways than one Natalie saw herself in Tasha and you could say she wanted to help her and keep her from making some of the same mistakes she did. Even after the wedding when she and Logan weren't on the best of terms, Natalie and Tasha stayed close and she was positive they still would be close to this day if Tasha's life hadn't been met with such a tragic end. Tasha's death was extremely sudden and so so sad, she was still missed by not just Natalie but by everyone. The fact that she got cheated out of knowing that beautiful little boy of hers and he’s been cheated out of knowing her was the saddest part of all. When they came to the table with drinks on it Natalie grabbed two and handed one to Leigha. 'Hey...I was just wondering...um,if I could ask you something.It's personal and it's totally fine if you don't want to answer it.I just thought...'

Natalie looked to her curious to what it was she would need her advice on. Although she might not know Leigha well she's accepted the role she plays in Logan and Drake's life and truly believes they're both better off with her than without her..But that doesn't mean she'd be expecting Leigha to come to her for advice by any means. They barely even knew each other, in fact a few weeks back when Natalie was fixing a few stitches of Logan's that broke open, was probably the first time they ever spoke more than a couple words to one another. Natalie looked to her as she tried to ask whatever it was she needed to ask and urged her to just spit it out already. And then she did. It was about Logan. Of course it was, should she really be surprised? Natalie listened as Leigha tried to explain how Logan was getting more involved with the business and how his being shot was a pretty big eye opener for her. '..And I just...how did you deal with it? I mean,you and Michael were together for awhile.How did you deal with him doing something that could take him away from you at any minute.' At first Natalie was a little taken back. She didn't know what she was expecting Leigha to ask but it wasn't that.

"Uh..Wow.." She tried to think of the best way to answer but there was no easy answer for Leigha's question. "No, it's fine really..I just, your question caught me a little off guard." Natalie told her with a small reassuring smile, to let her know it was okay that she asked her and came to her with this."You know Michael use to promise me he'd be fine and that I didn't need to wait up for him but I didn't listen..How could I? When we were still together I waited up for him downstairs every night. Sometimes I'd fall asleep, sometimes I wouldn't..I worried about him the same way your worrying about Logan now and you know I never really stopped, I still worry about him even though he's not here.." Natalie shrugged her shoulders softly, trying to rack her brain for something that would help Leigha. "It's not easy I'm not going to lie Leigha it never gets easy..I just I had to be strong and not just for myself but for Caroline and Michael too. And I just had to always remember and think about about how Michael didn't want to leave us and that he was going to do whatever he had to do to come home to us." She tried to explain. Sighing, Natalie set her wine glass down on the table before going on.

"Listen Leigha..Logan was hurting bad because of Tasha. He blamed himself and he wanted to punish himself. He wasn't thinking about you and Drake and what he still had, he was thinking about what he lost and how he needed to pay for what happened to her...But after he got shot." She paused for just a moment. Logan being shot brought him back to reality and in the end it was only going to bring him closer to Leigha and Drake. The complete opposite happened when Natalie was shot. Michael pushed her away and convinced himself she and Caroline were better off without him..And now he was gone..Just gone. Natalie shook her head of the thoughts as quickly as they came. This wasn't about her and Michael, this was about Logan and Leigha. She doesn't want their family to fall apart the way hers has. Logan needs Leigha, honestly she isn't sure where he'd be right now if he didn't have her. "...Everything changed. Logan knows what he has now and that he doesn't want to leave you and Drake without him. Before he was being careless and reckless but now he’s going to be smart and careful. You just have to hold onto that and believe that Logan’s going to fight like hell to come home to you because he needs you and he knows now that you and Drake need him too..I'm sorry Im not sure if anything I said helps you at all but I really hope you know how much he loves you Leigha."

Constance nodded when Jamie asked if she saw her too. From the look on his face she knew he was surprised by what she told him almost like only just now was the fact that his mother was alive really sinking in. Giving him a few moments to gather his thoughts, she listened as he explained to her what happened the first night he saw his mother, She could understand why he didn't tell her when it happened. It was the same night as The Haunted Star reopening. Chase and Cameran had just been arrested, there was a shootout down by the docks, she had a lot going on that night...But no matter what was going on around her she still would have made time for Jamie, she always makes time for him and she always will. He matters to her more than anyone and this news about his mother was huge. She couldn't imagine where her head and heart would be if it had been her mother who turned up alive. Just seeing Reese again and finding out she was alive had her scatterbrained, she'd really be all over the place if it had been her mother.

'I wanted to tell you...I just,I thought I had to be crazy.I know you all told me she was dead and...I saw her grave and I figured if I allowed myself to really believe it then I would going out of my mind.I mean...how can she be alive? I don't know.Did she say anything to you?' Jamie went on, wondering if Reese told her anymore than she told him. "I know what I told you and I'm sorry Jamie..You know if I had known, I never would have told you any different." Constance promised, nodding softly as she looked at him. She didn't lie to him. She could never lie to him. The day she told him about his mother she only told him because she thought he deserved to know. She would have wanted to know about everything that was different if she woke up in the same place as he had. At the time she hadn't known any different she believed Reese was dead and that’s what Chase and her told him. It was the first big thing they told Jamie, before she even told him about her and his brother. But if she had known Reese was a live then she never would have told him she never would have put him through that. Nibbling on her lower lips slightly, she shook her head 'no' at him. "I'm sorry Jamie, I tried to talk her but she wouldn’t tell me anything. She didn‘t want to get me involved." Not that Constance hadn't tried because she had..To the point where she was probably even pissed Reese off but she really didn't care. Jamie is what she cares about and the fact that his mother won't come forward when her son desperately needs her. Deep down she knew Reese had her reasons and they were probably damn good reasons but it was hard understanding her reasoning when she wouldn’t tell her anything.

Looking at her best friend she frowned slightly she saw his confused features. He was so hopeful there for a second and now..."Hey.." Constance gently took his arm to get him to look at her again. "Whatever it is, whatever reason your mothers staying away it has to be important. I know your mother and I know there has to be some really good reason for what shes doing, she would never stay away unless she was trying to keep you safe in someway.." Constance tried to explain, needing to convince herself just as much as she needed to convince him. "I don't know what kind of trouble your she's in but I know how much she loves you Jamie and I truly believe she will come around..When the time is right and she feels safe and secure, she'll be ready to be in your life again." She tried to assure him, nodding softly. "But until that day..You have me. Your always going to have me Jamie, you know that right?" When he nodded she smiled softly, moving her hand down from his arm to take his hand and give it a light squeeze for support.

OOC: Logan and Derek coming later sometime, after I get to Cape posts.

angel_wings05 · 03-24-2009, 04:06 PM

Logan smiled, nodding slightly at Gavin's comments."You and me both man." He laughed as his eyes looked for Leigha and soon found her cross the room talking to Natalie."What can I say? She loves me." He smiled, winking at Leigha when he caught her gaze.And thank God for that because where would he be without Leigha? Not in a good place he knew that much for certain.It was nice to seeing her talk to Natalie.Back when Tasha and him moved in together,Natalie became really close to her and it was nice to know it was possible for Leigha and her to get along too.It didn't really matter that Michael and Natalie weren't together anymore Natalie and Caroline were still just as much his family as Paige. And Michael too.He might to be here with them for the time being but he was still family and Logan knew he would come back, he had to come back..Too many people count on him for him to just stay away. Honestly Logan couldn’t imagine what Michael was going through.He just wants to give him the time and space he needs to deal with everything.He would do the same for him and although Logan might not know anything about what Michael was dealing with he did understand why he needed time away from the business to figure things out.If anything ever were to happen to Leigha because of his work he would probably lose his bearings too.He just hopes it doesn’t take Michael too much longer to figure things out.He has Gavin back and now he just needs Michael back too.They’re family maybe not by blood but in every other way.In fact Michael has been family to him more than anyone in his real family ever has been aside from maybe his sister Gretchen.He was the first person that saw something good in Logan,the first person that made him believe he could be better..That he wasn’t destined to fail over and over,that he didn’t have to be his father and most importantly that he deserved to be loved.When Michael became his guardian he gave him a home and when Leigha gave him a chance she became his saving grace.And Drake..Drake was everything..The best thing that’s ever happened to him.

As Gavin mentioned his getting shot, Logan looked at him with surprise. He didn’t think he knew. 'I tried to separate myself from Port Charles completely at the center...but my mom came to see me a lot and thought I'd want to know.You know she's always liked you.' Logan smiled slightly as Gavin explained. “Yeah I know. I’ve always liked her too you know.” He commented with a smirk, giving his friend a small nudge with his elbow. Growing up with Gavin he spent a lot of time at his place and during that time Logan could recall making several offhanded comments about how insanely hot Brenda is. No way Gavin would forget considering how riled up he use to get over it. 'So how are you feeling now? I couldn't believe when I heard.You're all grown up,Rambo.' Logan nodded with a small shrug looking down for a moment. “Ya gotta do it some time, right?” He joked as he looked back to Gavin.“I’m doing good. A little sore but good.” Logan added, assuring his friend with a small smile.

"What about you? How are you doing?”He asked unable to avoid the subject anymore.The last time he saw Gavin he was making a sandwich after he luckily talked him off the ledge of his apartment buildings roof.“For what it’s worth I think you did the right thing.Getting treatment and admitting you needed help. I don’t know if I could do something like that.” Logan admitted with a small honest laugh. Pride was important to Logan, something’s it’s all a man has and he has been there before.It’s why pride is so important to him and he knows it’s important to Gavin too.Doing what he did was admirable and honorable.“What you did was brave and smart.I know it couldn’t have been easy but you did it and whatever you went through or still might be going through I just..I’m here if you need anything.” Logan nodded giving him a small smile. “I’m just glad your back.And listen..Whatever I said before that night on your roof happened, about not wanting you to be Drake’s godfather and all that…I didn’t mean any of it.You are Drake’s Godfather. That's how Tasha wanted it and it's how I want it too..Aand I know that he would really really like to meet you.”Logan finished, wanting to make sure all the air was cleared between them. They had some arguments before Logan knew what was going on with Gavin and he said some things he never should have said.Things he didn’t mean and only said because he was pissed at himself and everyone else for Tasha being gone.

OOC:Derek to be edited in sometime tonight.

NAME: Emma Drake
AGE: 27 years old
OCCUPATION: Pediatrics at GH
PARENTS: Patrick and Robin Drake
BIO: Since the moment that she was brought into this world twenty-seven years ago, Emma Drake was the apple of her father's eye. While she had been told many different times that Patrick had been an untamable womanizer before she was born, she had never seen anything other than a slightly overbearing and overprotective father. Because both of her parents were very busy, very important doctors, Emma spent most of her formative hospital years at the hospital with them. While there, she grew to have a strong adoration for medicine. She had seen countless times how much you could do while saving lives and it was something that she had always strived for. Naturally, this settled well with her parents and both were all too eager to ship her off as far away as possible to the college of her choice. Emma was reluctant though. Not because she didn't love medicine, but because she was leaving behind someone that she considered to be the great love of her life. She and Michael probably weren't meant to be together, but she had found herself completely and utterly in love with him. It was different lifestyles that ultimately tore them apart though, and before long Emma was in college and was left with only memories of her former love. Nearly ten years later, the death of her younger sister brought her back to town. Now that she has finished med school, she is ready to begin her residency at General Hospital on the pediatrics floor. Because her father is chief of staff, some of the fellow doctors treat her differently than they would treat most residents, but she is slowly getting used to it. While she hates the fact that it took such a tragedy to bring her back to Port Charles, Emma finally feels like she is home again and there is nothing and no one on this Earth that can tear her away.

Derek smirked at her teasing, already enjoying their playful banter. That didn't take long, Serena was still on his but she was just put on the backburner for now until he could figure out what his next move with her would be. If he forbid her from seeing this Hal guy it would probably backfire on him and she'd end up moving in with the guy or something. That was the last thing he wanted or needed to happen. 'It's Steve Massey from Radiology.' Jade finally revealed with a proud grin. 'Not that it's any of your business, but since we're talking about dates, who's yours?' She asked and Derek raised an eyebrow at her curiosity. “Much better than Steve Massey from Radiology I’ll tell you that much.” He teased with a playful roll of his eyes. Resting his hands in his pockets he pursed her lips together acting like he was thinking about if he should tell or not. “You really want to know?” Derek asked just to egg her on. Shrugging, he was just about to reveal the name of the woman he came with when wouldn’t you know it he spotted her coming over Jade’s shoulder.

“Here she comes now.” Derek smiled, nodding to Emma when Jade turned around to look. Emma was a pediatrician new to GH of three months but she wasn’t new to Port Charles. She was the Chief of staff’s daughter which might be intimidating to some but not Derek, he wasn’t intimidated at all. Emma was an insanely gorgeous and intelligent woman he would be a fool if he didn’t pursue her. Her father Dr. Drake might not see it that way but he doesn’t scare Derek. “There you are…I’ve been looking for you.” Derek spoke up, taking her hand. She was talking to some of their co-workers, Natalie or someone while he was having that unpleasant encounter with his sister. He had just set out to look for her when he got sidetracked by his collision with Jade. “You know Jade, right?” Derek asked, sure they’d already met. It wasn’t like Emma just started at General Hospital, she’d been there for over three months now. “She's a cardiologist.” Derek added, resting his hand on the small of Emma’s back while he took a drink from his wine glass.TAG Emma (still tag on Jade)

xocourtneyxo · 03-24-2009, 05:51 PM

“I couldn’t agree more. If you’ll just excuse me for a moment, I will gladly make a phone call to my father and bring that up right away.”

Ever since she had arrived back in Port Charles, she had been suffocating in the shadow of her father. He hadn’t meant for it to be that way- God knows that Patrick Drake wanted his little girl to shine all on her own- but every single person at the hospital saw her as a miniature version of Patrick or Robin. When they weren’t complimenting her in hopes of a raise or a pat on the back from their Chief of Staff, they were complaining to her non-stop about something as ridiculous as the weight of the bedpans. Yes, this is what her evenings had been reduced to. Emma Drake was at a lavish event, wearing a beautiful, expensive, couture dress, and she was stuck in a conversation with a man forty-five years her senior about bedpans. There were so many things wrong with it that Emma didn’t even know where to begin. Still, it wasn’t in her nature to be rude, so she had stayed in the conversation for the last fifteen minutes, trying to use every polite excuse she could manage to end things.

She had even gone as far as to try to forge eye contact between herself and Derek, but he was so involved in his conversation with Jade that he wasn’t having it. Hell, it was either that or he knew she needed his help and didn’t want to involve himself in what could possibly be the single most boring conversation on Earth. Emma couldn’t even particularly blame him if that were the case. Had roles been reversed, the raven haired pediatrician would have involved herself in the first conversation she could to avoid being stuck talking to this man. Once she had finally managed to excuse herself, Emma grabbed onto a champagne glass from a passing tray and downed nearly half of it in one sip as she took long, confident strides back to Derek and Jade.

“Sorry that took so long,” She apologized once she was in ear-shot of the duo. Emma sent Derek a half smile, then turned her full attention to Jade. “Of course we know each other. I’m one of those nerds who tries learning the names of every single hospital staff member. I’m kind of failing at that, unfortunately.” After letting out a small laugh, the brunette extended her hand for Jade to shake. “It’s a pleasure to formally be introduced though. I’m Emma. I work in pediatrics.” Usually, when it came to introducing herself to the staff, Emma conveniently left off her last name. Somehow, saying it always seemed to come off as snobbish or pretentious in her head, and she was still trying to fit in and make a good impression with her co-workers. The last thing she needed was for them to believe that she had received the job undeservingly simply because her father was Patrick Drake; neurosurgeon extraordinaire.

OOC:I thought I posted my Molly post but now I realized I didn't.I have it typed up but I have to find it on my computer

Leigha listened as Natalie explained how it was for her and Michael.Leigha was aware that she and Natalie were very different people....very different.But what she said...it was funny because Leigha felt the same exact way,waiting up for Logan when he went out for business because she was worried something might happen to him.Leigha didn't even realize she was nodding her head along.It just sounded all so familiar and it was nice to hear that someone else felt it.Leigha knew it must be hard for Natalie with Michael gone now.She didn't know a huge amount about their relationship but Leigha knew how she would feel if the same thing happened with her and Logan and especially with a child involved...like if Drake was ever in Caroline's position.Natalie looked over at Leigha and went on to tell her that things had changed for Logan after that night he got shot and Natalie knew it for sure.He loved Leigha and Drake and he was going to be careful and take care of himself for them.Leigha smiled slightly and nodded her head.Natalie wasn't sure if she had said anything of value to Leigha but what she had said was all true.

"I know he loves me and Drake.It just...it scares me.Everything you said about waiting up and all that...I do that.I mean I can't even help it.I just have to do it.And I guess...when he got shot,it put it all into perspective for me.It's a dangerous life,"Leigha started.She saw Natalie nod her head.The basic problem here was that on one hand,Leigha really hated the mob world and knew how dangerous it was but on the other hand,Leigha loved Logan and she wasn't going to leave him or ever make him leave something he was good at and he enjoyed.So maybe it was a matter of just getting used to things.That's what she had been telling herself.Maybe the violence...maybe it wouldn't come into her life for a long time again.Maybe that shooting was just a wake up call and nothing else.

"I'm sorry if I just ruined your night for bringing up Michael.It's just...I don't many women who have been in the same position...and Logan,he really loves you and considers you one of the most people in his life.And I guess...I know you really loved Tasha and...I'd like...to get to know you?"Leigha said,nervously.She was nervous but she was being sincere.It was true that Natalie was a big part of Logan's life and Leigha wanted to know her,besides just admiring her and being intimidated by her.And maybe she would never like her like she liked Tasha but there was no harm in getting to know each other,right?

No man in his right mind could deny that Tess was not only attractive but sexy as hell.As she leaned in to him,flirting like it was just a common activity,Carver fought the desire to just take her then and there.It would be really nice if he could.He had always found her to be attractive and interesting,even when he was conning her parents.She wasn't the usual girl.She looked like she fit a certain kind of girl but he knew there weren't very many 'Tess's' in the world.She was truly unique."Maybe I will find that out sometime,"he repeated with a smirk as she slowly stepped away from him so she was alittle further from him.Damn,he really had to cool himself down.He finished the rest of his drink,considering downing the one he had gotten for Ridley but he stopped himself.

Carver was usually smart when it came to women.He conned so many that he was very careful to making sure they weren't playing him.But he had to admit that he had a weakness for women of his level of expertise,women who could manipulate just as he could.And he had learned his lesson with Molly.He had fallen for her charm,gotten too comfortable,and he hadn't seen what was coming.He let his guard down and he wouldn't do that again.He observed Tess closely.She had a similar edge though she was very different from Molly.

"You know I respect you,I like you,you're sexy as hell,and honestly if I could,I'd take you here and now....,"he started with a striking level of frankness.He stepped a bit closer to ear and looked down at her,"But I have no idea if I can really trust you,"he finished in a low tone,looking down at her with a smile.He knew she probably felt the same way.But something told him,he would never know if he could fully trust her.That's just the way it was with people like them.And maybe at some level,that's the way Carver wanted it.He had never been a truly healthy and normal relationship.Either he was conning the woman he was in a relationship or it was something like his first "love" or Molly where he was never sure if he could really trust her.Carver was too messed up of a person to ever be in a healthy and normal relationship.He had already accepted this.

It disappointed Jamie to hear that Constance didn't know anymore about his mother's return than he did.She wouldn't tell Constance anything.Jamie sighed and looked down before looking back up at Constance.He didn't understand any of this.What kind of trouble was she in? Jamie wished he knew.It was killing him not to know."I wish I knew what kind of trouble she was in.I wish I could help her.Honestly,I'm afraid something might happen and I might never see her again...that she might disappear and I might know for the rest of my life that she's alive but never be able to see her,"he admitted honestly to Constance.It had to be pretty big...whatever reasons she had to fake her own death and disappear.Jamie knew there had to be something big because she would never leave him otherwise.His mother was the person he loved most in this whole world and he knew she felt the same way.She had been the one person who had been there for him every moment of his life,never let him down or hurt him.And he refused to believe she would leave him unless she had no other option.

And as much as he hated his father right now,he knew that his mother loved his father alot as well and she wouldn't leave him unless there was no other option.He just wished he could talk to her,be with her,just a for second.Constance could tell that he was in his head.She reached out to him and assured him that she knew once his mother thought things were safe,she would come to see him and talk to him.And until that time,he had her.She was always going to be there for him.They had been through alot,Jamie and Constance,but it was good to know that some things never changed.Jamie might have been very hurt by Constance choosing to be with Chase but she was still his person and he was starting to remember again that nothing could change that.

"I'm sorry about everything,"he finally spoke up after awhile,looking over at Constance.She looked confused,unsure of what he was talking about.He took a breath and then explained,"I'm sorry about everything that happened with us since I left the hospital.I was angry and really hurt...but I know that nothing I do is going to change the past or the fact that you're with Chase.And it's taken me some time but I think I can put it aside...I mean for you because you're my best friend and I don't want to ever ruin that." He meant what he said.Maybe it was because he had started to get over his feelings for her.Maybe it was because he had started to develop them for someone else.Maybe it was because he had a baby on the way.But he didn't want to hold on to this resentment or anger over Chase and Constance anymore.He just didn't see the point in it.

OOC: And here's a repost of my baddie

Name: Johnny *Johnny Zero* Banks
Age: 28
Bio: There are some people who say that your childhood haunts you wherever you go.Have a good one? It'll help you.Have a bad one? It will ruin you.Those people would probably classify Johnny Banks as 'Piece of Evidence #1'.Here is a man who perhaps is good at heart but had his life ruined early on.He grew up in Detroit with his mother,a nurse at the local hospital,and his father,a mechanic.Life was never perfect but it was good enough.Johnny's father though was mentally unstable,a fact that Johnny never knew growing up,and one night he snapped and ended up shooting Johnny's mother in a rage.Johnny watched the whole thing happen.His father was checked into an insane asylum and Johnny was placed in foster care because all of his mother's relatives didn't want to take him,fearing he might share his father's genes and end up the same way.Johnny was a quiet child.He rarely spoke t o anyone.He bounced around between three different foster families,none of who cared for him well.By 18,he was off on his own.To his credit,he tried to make a good life for himself.He tried to find a good job but luck had other plans.The one point in his life where the future seemed to be bright was when he met Madison Tanner.She was his angel.She was the bright part of his life.When she revealed she was pregnant,Johnny pledged to take care of her and give her the life she deserved.Only problem is that he didn't have the money for that.So he got in with some bad people...some people he probably shouldn't have.This is where the story gets complicated.If you ask Johnny,he'll tell you that he crossed one of the guys he was working for and they shot and killed Madison who was six months pregnant with their baby.He'll tell you that everything he does now is for revenge.But what's the real story? Madison found out the lifestyle he was living and left him.She vanished into thin air and Johnny was never able to find her again.He blamed himself of course and he made up the story in order to give his life a purpose...or maybe so he can feel like he's dying for a reason instead of it just being suicidal.He met Tiago through a few other guys he knew and decided he was in on the scheme that was being planned.For what reason? Just to to do it.Maybe he's just like his father and he's mentally unstable.Or maybe he just has lost everything that matters and doesn't care what happens to him now.

Natalie listened as Leigha told her she knows how much Logan loves her and Drake, she just gets scared. She does exactly what Natalie did. She waits up, she can't even help it she just has to do it. Natalie smiled slightly at that, all too familiar with what Leigha was going through. It was easier for Natalie though. She accepted Michael's life from the get go. She never had a problem with his lifestyle or what he does, even after she got shot she still wanted to be with him more than anything. She would never judge him and would never ever ask him to walk away from a life he loved. She didn't exactly think Leigha would do that with Logan either she just could see the danger was a little harder for her to swallow than it ever had been for Natalie. She nodded, listening to Leigha as she went on to say Logan being shot put it all in perspective and made her realize how dangerous his life was now. "Logan's one of the strongest people I've ever known Leigha, he's going to be okay." Natalie promised, giving her a small smile in attempt to reassure her. To best honest she was never too fond of Logan going into the mob life either but it's what he wanted and he's good at what he does..Who is she to tell him not to be who he wants to be? She trusts him to make his own decisions and if this was what he wanted she was behind him one-hundred percent just like she always was with Michael. Logan's a smart kid and much like Natalie, he went through some really rough times growing up. He's a fighter through and through and that's how she knows he's going to be okay.

'I'm sorry if I just ruined your night for bringing up Michael.It's just...I don't many women who have been in the same position...and Logan,he really loves you and considers you one of the most people in his life.And I guess...I know you really loved Tasha and...I'd like...to get to know you.' Natalie was surprised and maybe even a little flattered by Leigha’s words. It’s never really been easy for her to make friends with girls but sometimes she did. With Tasha it was easy because they were so similar and just really understood each other for some reason. Recently she made friends with a woman named Emma, Tasha’s older sister and a new pediatrician at GH, but she’d only been in town for a few months so they didn’t know each other too well yet. Leigha might not be the type of girl Natalie would normally become friends with but she seemed genuine and Logan loves her a lot and she’s Ridley’s sister. Besides she really looked like she could use someone to lean on while she comes to term with the life Logan’s chosen for them. “I’d really like that.” Natalie answered with a warm smile. “There’s no time like the present, right?” She joked with a small laugh, nodding to a near by table. As they moved to sit down Natalie looked around the room for Trent briefly. She didn‘t see him but she did spot Logan talking with someone she couldn’t make out across the room. Smiling slightly, she looked back to Leigha.. “Logan tells me you’ve been taking classes at the University here in town. How’s that going for you?” Natalie asked as she took another sip from her wine glass. “I hear they have a great nursing program there. Any desires to follow in your mother’s footsteps?” She asked half jokingly.

OOC: Constance coming later and Derek coming after a Jade post! Adding Emma and Johnny's profiles now.

Constance nodded softly, this had to be insanely difficult for him but he was handling it all so much better than she ever could. It made sense, he always was the more grounded one while she was the daring and impulsive act now think later type of girl. As Jamie voiced his fears about knowing his mother was alive and never seeing her again, Constance shook her head. "That won't happen." She assured him, truly believing what she said. Reese can't stay away forever..No mother could. After a few moments of silence Jamie spoke up. 'I'm sorry about everything.' Confusion flickered in her blue eyes as they searched his for answers. She was at a loss to what he was sorry about but as he began to explains he understood...Though in her eyes he didn't owe her any apologizes, if anyone should be apologizing it was her. 'I'm sorry about everything that happened with us since I left the hospital.I was angry and really hurt...but I know that nothing I do is going to change the past or the fact that you're with Chase.And it's taken me some time but I think I can put it aside...I mean for you because you're my best friend and I don't want to ever ruin that.' As he finished Constance stayed quiet for a moment. Just looking at him while tears slowly formed in her eyes. But they weren't sad tears..No they were tears of joy. She was so happy to hear him say that..To know that he was okay with her and Chase more than before and that things were really okay with them now..And to know that he needs her just as much as she needs him. Reaching forward, Constance pulled Jamie into a hug and closed her eyes tight. "Thank you..Thank you Jamie." She whispered to him. When she pulled back she wiped away her happy tears while shaking her head at him.

"And just so you know you could never..There is nothing you could ever do that would ruin this." Constance smiled as she pointed between Jamie and herself. "Nothing." She repeated with a small nod. Looking down for a moment, she let out a deep breath brushing a few strands of her hair behind her ears before looking back at him. "I'm sorry too." Constance looked back at Jamie hoping he knew how much she meant it. “I never wanted to hurt you Jamie…You are the one person whose always been there for me, the one person I could always count on and I know that I hurt you. I’m so sorry Jamie, I hate that I hurt you I love you..I love you so much.” She nodded, raising her hand up to touch his face for only a brief moment. Jamie would always have a piece of her heart that nobody else could touch nothing would change that. The truth is she needs him more than she’s ever needed anyone..It’s always been that way and it probably always would be. “I should go.” She announced, turning to face him as they both raised to their feet. “He’s probably waiting for me..Unless you want me to stay because I will. If you want to go somewhere and talk about your mother or whatev…” Constance trailed off when Jamie raised his hand up to silence her, assuring her it was fine. With a small smile she leaned in and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. “Save me a dance for later?” Constance asked as she pulled back.

There Jade was thinking that Derek wouldn't have a date, and there she was standing right in front of her. Maybe she did underestimate Derek Adams' charms. She revealed that her name was Emma and she smiled and reached for her hand that was outstretched and then shook it.
"Nice to meet you too," she replied. "Wow, Pediatrics. I'm not sure I could work so closely with children, no matter how much I love them."
Jade was the kinda girl that would work with kids if they needed a heart transplant or something, but when it came to full time, she doesn't think she could handle it. That's not to say that she didn't want her own kids someday, but she was more concerned with her job.

Jade looked from Emma to Derek, hoping that Steve would come and rescue her. But it looked like he wasn't, as he was still mingling, leaving her to her own devices. She pursed her lips together and then took a sip of her champagne.
"So, I'm assuming you two came separately?" she asked eyeing them curiously. It wasn't that she was being nosey, but she wanted to know how the two came to be for starters. Jade couldn't stand Derek all that much, and he actually had a date. Wonders never cease.
