Day 14 on Survivor Island

John Black *Confessional*

(John and Marlena are lying nestled in each other's arms sated and very content. They have just spent the last few hours making love (John sneaked a large dose of Viagra into his duffel...he was hoping to get Marlena alone)).

John: When we are like this...I forget that Tom Langan ever existed.

Marlena: Who?

John: That's funny. I can't remember either. I just remember he has a fixation on our son.

Marlena: Who? You mean there is some paedophile who loves our sweet little boy. I can't wait to see him. I will do to that paedophile what I did to Stefano all those years ago.

John: Are we going back in time or are we regaining our true personalities?

Marlena: (looking under the sheets) I hope you never lose THAT.

John: (grinning) You know I brought along viagra, don't you??? (Marlena giggles) But When I am with you, I don't need it. Some things just happen.

(Marlena begins to kiss John passionately.)

(Several hours later, Marlena is lying asleep in John's arms. John gently gets out of bed. Suddenly, he gets another crushing headache. He has a revealing flashback.)

Stefano: You will never get back to her. You might as well face that. You have lost her and everyone else you love.

(John screams. Marlena wakes and runs to John. He collapses in her arms.)

Missing John and Marlena scene from slightly earlier in the morning* (Edited for nudity, parental discretion advised)

[Marlena stirs in John's arms, suddenly opening her eyes when she realizes they have fallen asleep at some point. It was a very long evening, but now it's almost dawn. Pulling the sheet to her, she sits up, trying to figure out what time it is.]

John: Good morning beautiful. [He pulls her back down beside him and kisses her.] And boy is it the best kind of morning waking up next to you.

John. [She twists around in the sheets to look at him.] We need to get back to camp.

John: Why? [With a grin] I'm sure they're surviving just fine without us. [Lifts her hand to his mouth and kisses her palm.]

Well, it's hardly fair to expect everyone else to look after our daughter. [She places her palm on the side of his face and kisses him tenderly.] I love you so much, but we can't stay here forever. [She climbs out of bed, taking the sheet with her.]

John: [A little confused.] What do you mean look after our daughter? Belle's old enough to look after herself, Doc.

[Turns around and looks at him]. Not the Belle on your team, the Belle on *our* team. Don't ask me how it happened, but we have a Belle on our team too. She's our baby, honey, and she's seven years old.

John: [Blinking.] Damn, that Langan has done a real number on us all. [Watches Marlena as she bends over to check the lower shelves of the pantry. The sight of her shapely behind draped in a sheet is enough to make him forget anything much and he grins lustfully.] Hey Doc, I'm sure Laura can look after Belle for a couple more hours at least.

[Turning around to argue with him, Marlena finds John has snuck up on her and she squeals as he grabs her and throws her over his shoulder. A few short strides and he drops her on the bed and climbs on top of her. She half-heartedly tries to push him away but grabbing her wrists, he pushes them above her head and lowers his mouth to hers...]
