love and danger

chapter one

This story is my own spin when John and marlena get married in 1999.

stefano have a few plans in store for both of them.

Chapter one:

the wedding day July 6, 1999.

John is at the penthouse Grill to make sure that everything is perfect and checking on security to make sure everything is quiet and secure.

Abe goes up to john and says, hey buddy, just relax, anything is going be perfect.

John looks at his best friend and says, abe, I have to make sure everything is perfect, because I want this to be a day that Marlena will never forget.

Abe sighs and says, john, marlena never going to forget this day because she's marrying you.

abe grabs John's arm and forces him over to a couple of chairs off to the side.

Come on, sit down and try to relax for
a few minutes, abe said to his friend.

John sinks into a chair next to Abe, but he looks anything but relaxed.

abe, do you realize that Doc and I will be getting married in less than two hours?.

john said as abe smiles and replies do

you?, because you've been so busy worrying about how everything looks and double and triple checking security, you haven't even started getting yourself ready.

I told you, abe, I want everything to be perfect and I also want to make sure nothing goes wrong and that includes taking measures to insure that we don't have any unwanted guests to show up at the wedding.

john, Stefano isn't going to get past my men, so why don't you leave that part up to me.

and as for the rest of it, you've hired a competent staff to do that, so how about you start concentrating on your part?.

abe asked as John smiles, at his best friend and says, yea, I guess you're right and thanks again, partner.

Abe grins and says, your welcome,
buddy and that's what a best friend is for, if it isn't to try to calm those pre-wedding jitters?.

Abe and John are instantly on their feet as Eric walks over to John and says, hi.

john, i love what you did with the Penthouse Grill, mom going to love it.

oh, hi, Eric, John said as he goes and hugs him.

Abe looks at his watch, then at John and says, john, I'll give you, fifteen minutes alone with Eric and then I expect you both upstairs to get ready.

as Abe walks away, Eric asks, John.

So, john, why all the security?, is it because you afraid mom will try to get away before the priest can pronounce you, man and wife?.

Eric jokes as john looks at him and replies back, no, that not the reason,
it's because I'm worried about stefano, that he might stop this wedding from happening.

like last time when kristen show up with my dad and we all thought that he was dead?, Eric asked.

john nods and says, Eric, you do know that I love your mother very much and I will do anything for her?.
