ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 151

" So this here what I's gonna sing on Rebel ," Nettie Jean said as she strummed on her guitar as she and the family gathered in LuLu and Jonah's living room after dinner that night. " I wrote it up last night. "

Jonah bobbed his head slightly with his eyes closed firmly as he leaned back in his recliner. " I like that tune. Sounds real pretty, sis in law. Real pretty. "

LuLu glanced at him with poked out lips from the sofa where she sat next to Jimmy and Bubba Joe. They each held onto a triplet ; ironically enough they were all quiet although still awake. " I don't know. Sound rough to me. "

" Fuck off , LuLu Mae," Nettie Jean grumbled as she kept playing the light melodic music. " You just jealous you have no talent. Besides making babies and fighting. That is. "

Then she began to sing in a clear serene voice that put a relaxed smile on Jonah's dark brown face.

" I was lost. Then you came around and gave me the direction to your heart. "

                ----------

" You gave me the courage to be who I am. "

Gerald poured more wine in Alfred's glass as they sat at the dining room table. Then he leaned over to kiss the man on his smiling mouth.

               -----------

" You showed me the life I never thought I would have. "

DuBuis stood behind Spencer in his wheelchair and wrapped his arms around him as they looked with much love at a sleeping Miracle in her crib.

                 ----------

" I was lost but you found me. "

Joy smiled down at a sleeping Faith who clutched her journalism textbook in her hand as she lay on the bed. She gently removed the book and put it on the nightstand. Then she covered her fiancee with the blanket and kissed her tenderly on her forehead.

            ----------

" My life was meaningless without you."

Winston enthusiastically showed a baby name website on the laptop to Joe who just laughed and shook his head at him.

           ----------

" I was lost even to me. "

Flower curled up on her hospital bed, clinging to the doll , as she watched Pamela Perkins suspiciously.

           -----------

" But your love gave me purpose. "

Richard leaned forward and kissed Nigel's bare chest with its faint surgical scar as they were intertwined together in their bed.

            ----------

" Now you've found me I'll never let you go. "

Nicholas smiled as he watched Margaret walk into her hotel from his car. She suddenly turned back around and blew him a kiss.

              ----------

" I'll never let you go. "

Jeremiah Duncan pulled Bliss Jones into his arms and pointed at the dark sky above with the airplane flying overhead. Bliss widened her brown eyes in astonished wonder as she saw the words in the sky.

Will You Marry Me , Bliss Jones ?

Bliss blinked back sudden tears and stared at him. Then she nodded swiftly and he kissed her in return.

                 ---------

" I'll always be by your side. "

Ethan sat next to Zipp's bed , holding his hand.

               --------

As the rest of the family cheered the final notes of the song LuLu lifted her chin and sniffed. " It's rough. Rebel doesn't want to hear none of that noise."

Jimmy rolled his green eyes at his mother. " Oh , knock it off , Ma. I like it. Aunt Nettie Jean, I think you have a winner. "

Jonah smiled at his sister in law and she grinned back. " I agree. I like it. I like it a lot. "

Bubba Joe whooped ," Hot damn ! When this show? I just knows you gonna win and get a music contract and support your old man like I deserve ! Bout time one of my four youngsters amount to something. "

LuLu gave her father a nasty look.
