ANNABELLE:   Can we look around your house?

BETH:    Of course you can

HERMANN:    Just don't touch anything!

BETH:    The two important rooms are locked, so it's okay.  Tell Kelly there's juice behind the bar for the kids!

GABBY:     I will

Gabby disappeared with the Hermann family and when she returned she found Beth leaning against the kitchen counter looking white as a sheet

GABBY:     You feel sick?

BETH:     Yeah, it's horrible.

GABBY:     Have you eaten today?

BETH:     Not yet

GABBY:    Beth you need to take care of yourself

BETH:       Dinner won't be long, I'll make some of that ginger tea

Twenty minutes or so later all the food was prepared and Kelly was busy carving some Turkey

BETH:     That looks so good, I hope it isn't dry! There's nothing worse than chewing the same bit of meat for hours

Kelly laughed       

KELLY:    It doesn't normally bother you! (quietly)

BETH:     Kelly!

KELLY:    Here, try a bit

Kelly handed her a piece

BETH:   Thanks, I'm gonna get a glass of that discusting wine, you want anything?

KELLY:   I still have a beer, somewhere!

Beth went to the bar to get a drink from the fridge, Matt was at the other side when she stood up

BETH:    Matt Casey, can I get you a delicious glass of wine! (laughing)

MATT:    No you cannot! Kelly wants a beer, he can't find his

BETH:   I'll bring him one over

Before sitting at the table Beth switched the lighting to lilac and put on some soft music.  Kelly kissed the top of her head

KELLY:    Want me to make you up a plate?

BETH:    Em, okay.  Just a little bit

He whispered into her ear

KELLY:    You need to feed our baby (quietly)

She looked up at him and smiled

BETH:    I will

It wasn't long before everyone was seated and having a great meal, Benny was keeping everyone entertained with his firefighting stories, some of which were highly exaggerated.

BENNY:   This is great food Beth

BETH:   Thank you, I'm glad you came

BENNY:    Me too, so where did you and Kelly meet?

BETH:   At Molly's

BENNY:   Well you must be doing something right, I haven't seen him smile like that in a long time

Beth laughed

BETH:   It's probably the Ferrari!

LEE HENRY:   You have a Ferrari?
