Waiting for a Delivery
----------------------
At the Outback Felicia nervously keeps checking her watch as well as Mac's.
When he asks if she expecting a delivery, Felicia counters.."Yes in a few
months."  They congratulate themselves on a job well done finding Myrna
and revel in the big bucks they got from Edward.  Then in comes Maria.
Felicia had asked her grandmother to come to Port Charles so Felicia could
tell Maria a major announcement in person.  When Maria asks for the
announcement and also asks for a big hug, Filly walks out from behind the
bar, unbuttons her coat and shows Maria her "tummy" and they hug.  Maria is
thrilled.  Felicia tells Maria it's Frisco's baby and she and Frisco have
worked things out.  Maria suggests Felicia come and spend time at the ranch
until spring but Felicia wants to have the baby in Port Charles.  That's ok
with Maria but Felicia won't be able to fly back.  Maria first suggests they
take the train, and then suggests they drive back.  That's a great idea to
Felicia and Mac is all for Filly getting TLC from Maria in Texas.  Ah, but
wait, Felicia can't go quite yet.  There's a problem.  Mac wants them to not
leave for a least another day since Mac had an event planned that he'll have
to move up.  Felicia's curiousity is peaked but Mac ushers them out.  He makes
a call.  Sometime later Kevin shows up at the Outback wanting to know where
the fire is.  When Mac tells Kevin Felicia is going to Texas until just before
the baby is due Kevin thinks that's a good idea but he admits he's going to
miss her and be a little blue.  When Mac points out they had that shower
planned Kevin suggests they move the shower up to the next day and "keep the
shindig simple."  Kevin will call Tony and Sean about the change in plans.

I'm Strictly Legit
------------------
Garcia (YES!!) questions Sean as to what percentage of Sonny's story is the
truth and Sean figures it was Sonny's truth but like a piece of Swiss cheese
with lots of holes.  Sonny is brought into Sean's office to make his statement
and he has a new attorney with him.  When Sean asks about Cusak Sonny tells
Sean and Garica Cusak has taken "early retirement."  Sonny starts his
statement about PR with the fact that he only went there for the concert but
that Frank called him and asked for a meeting which Sonny declined, or so
Sonny says again.  Sonny again only claims he only told Luke that Frank was
in PR and did not set up a meeting between Frank and Luke, that Luke found
Frank on his own.  Sonny questions why he's being questioned and claims he
has no interest in stepping into Frank's shoes.  Sonny is "strictly legit"
now.  In fact to show evidence Sonny has a proposition for Sean.  Off the
record with the stenographer gone Sonny offers to get Sean a lead on who
killed Jack Boland.  When Sean questions how Sonny can do that if he's legit
Sonny offers that he'll do it as an incentive to assure Sean he's legit but
will ask around his "old contacts."  Sean warns Sonny to walk the straight
and narrow.  Later in his apt. we Sonny talking on the phone and demanding
someone to find out and tell him who hit Jack Boland.  Sonny knows Frank
put out the hit but Sonny wants the person who "did it" and informs the
person on the other end that that way of doing business is over.  When he
puts down the phone there's a knock at the door.  It's Damian to continue
their business discussion.  They both are warm to Sonny's business proposal
and Sonny wants to do business with brains and without the excess muscle,
exactly what had turned Damian away from his father's business.  Damian isn't
quite sure if he can trust Sonny.  He doesn't want to have a bullet put in
his back and he wants Sonny to play straight with the company $$.  Supposedly
Sonny's in it for the challenge and also wants 40% of the new business coming
in and 25% of the current business.  Damian agrees to 20% and they both say
they want to stay out of drugs, prostitution, pornography, etc.  It's a deal
as long as Damian knows that L&B is strictly legit and off limits to Damian.
Damian offers the observation that he and Sonny are more alike than he
thought.

Down in the Dumps
-----------------
When Brenda comes into the Qs den AJ questions her depressed look.  Brenda
chalks it up to being tired from the trip and the concert but AJ and Jason
who follows Brenda in, don't quite buy it.  When AJ brings up Ned showing
up in PR Brenda tells them Ned and Lois were about back together until Ned
tried to buy out Sonny.  When questioned why Ned tried to buy out Sonny, they
are informed it was because Ned didn't like what went on in PR.  They press
Brenda until she admits that what happened in PR was "sun, sand, Carribean
sunsets, kidnapping, shooting and murder - take your pick."  AJ and Jason
are speechless.  Off camera Brenda has told Jason and AJ the whole story
of her "adventures" in PR.  Jason more or less tells her he told her so
months ago when he warned her about getting involved with Sonny.  Brenda
tries to say it's not Sonny but both Jason and AJ don't buy it.  It IS the
company Sonny keeps that is dangerous even if "Sonny isn't."  Jason warns
Brenda she going to get hurt if she sticks close to Sonny and AJ agrees
with Ned for once.  Sonny is bad news and is getting badder by the minute.
Jason walks out leaving Brenda and AJ.  AJ tries to get Brenda to at least
look out for L&B if only for Lois' sake.  Brenda isn't worried since Lois and
Sonny go way back and Lois trusts Sonny...something AJ thinks may be Lois'
only flaw.   AJ gets a brilliant idea.  He should take care of Lois.  He'd
be better than the bozos (AJ's words) Lois' is involved with.  Brenda warns
AJ to back off and to leave Lois alone.  All AJ wants is another conquest.
Later Brenda is alone in the den when in comes a whistling Edward who wants
to know why she's blue.  Brenda turns it around and asks about the trial and
his health.  Edward couldn't be better.  Brenda thanks Edward for allowing
her to be treated like family, no better than family considering the way her
family treated her.  Edward let Brenda know the Qs like having her around.
Brenda is grateful to be with the Qs even through all the scenes they have
because when the chips are down the Qs stick together.  Brenda later arrives
at Sonny's.  He's not happy that Sonny told Lois that Ned tried to buy him
out.  Ned and Lois were so close to being back together and now this has
probably set them back.  Sonny informs Brenda that Lois would have been more
upset with Sonny if he hadn't told Lois and besides Sonny wasn't exactly
thrilled with Ned throwing money at him.  Sonny claims all his actions in
PR etc are just aimed at preserving L&B and he has had it with Ned.  Sonny
has an idea on how to handle Ned and get Lois and Ned back together.  Brenda
finally notices Sonny is flying.  Brenda wants to know why and Sonny just
says he's been taking care of business.  When Brenda asks if it has to do
with what happened in PR all Sonny will say is that "they looked into the
eyes of the tiger and survived to tell about it."  Sonny's on the top of the
world and things are going to happen.

Ready to Celebrate
------------------
Edward is dozing in the chair by the fire when Lila rolls into the den.  She
picks up a book when Edward jolts awake to see her in the room.  Lila
comments on Edwards lifted spirits and figures it has to do with Felicia's
visit.  Edward thanks her for all her support through the trial.  Lila
lets Edward know she's been there for him even when he wouldn't let her go
to court.  But the next day she's going to be in court no matter what
Edward says.  That's fine with Edward and he has plans for afterwards.
Edward is sure he's going to be cleared...as sure as he was of his decision
to ask Lila to marry him.  It's a tender scene as he again thanks her for
her support and is thankful the family hasn't been torn apart by the trail.
For Lila it's divine ordinance....Edward's the man she'll always love. (And
is that love ever about to be tested!)
