Vivian heads back downstairs after her talk with Layla. Jordan is sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for her. Vivian sits next to him. "Is she okay?"

"Yeah J, she's okay. She asked me if we were ever going to get back together."

"I know, I heard."

She looks at him, "What do you mean you heard?"

"I came up to check on her. I thought if I came up here while you were with her, she'd talk to me. But I heard her ask you that. And I heard your answer. I'm not going to beg you or try to convince you to come back to me. But I am going to tell you that our time has not passed. I'd like to talk to you more about this, but your husband is downstairs. He had a couple of phone calls while you were upstairs. It sounds like his visit is going to be short, we can talk later, if you're planning on sticking around Boston. Or we can talk next time you visit. I'm not going anywhere." He leans over and quickly kisses her lips, "I love you Viv" he whispers against her lips and then he gets up and goes into the living room.

Vivian sits there for a second before standing and going downstairs too. Jordan is telling everyone goodbye when she enters the room. "Viv you think LaLa will let me tell her bye?"

"Of course she will Jordan, go up and tell her goodbye."

Orlando approaches Vivian and hugs her from behind. "Hey babe, can I steal a few minutes with you?"

"You don't have to steal them, I'll just give them to you. We can go up to my room if you want to."

He kisses the back of her neck, "Up to your room huh? Mrs. Bloom are you trying to seduce me?"

Vivian giggles as his lips tickle her neck, she turns around in his arms, "No I am not. We are in my father's house. There is no hanky panky in his house."

Orlando steps back and looks at her, "You're kidding me right?"

"No, my dad doesn't care if we're married, his daughters are not allowed to have sex in his house."

He grabs her around the waist and pulls her to him, "Well, we'll just have to go outside and be one with nature."

Just then Jordan walks through the room, he sees them and stops, then heads outside. Vivian can't help but see the look on his face. "Lando, go up to my room, I need to talk to Jordan real quick and then I'll be right up." He kisses her nose and heads up the stairs. Vivian goes outside but Jordan is already in his car, and starts to drive away. She pulls her phone out to call him, but stops, her husband is upstairs waiting for her, she needs to let Jordan go. She can talk to him when Orlando leaves.

Vivian feels disappointed but goes back in the house and heads upstairs. Orlando is laying on her bed. He's so handsome. Her heart suddenly feels so torn. Loving them both. She thinks about how easy it was for her and Jordan to reconnect, fall back into what felt like could be a life together. But with Orlando right here in front of her, she begins to feel a twinge of guilt and regret.

Orlando reaches out his hand to her, "Come here beautiful." She reaches out and takes his hand. Letting him pull her to him. She lays on the bed with him. "Is everything okay Vivi? You seem a bit distracted."

"It's nothing Lando. Just thinking about Lex moving to Boston. I'm a little sad about my baby boy leaving me."

Orlando laughs, its sweet and sympathetic, "Oh sweetie, he's growing up too fast isn't he? You know if you miss them being babies we can remedy that. Have another baby, maybe? I think the idea of a surrogate is perfect for us."

"Orlando, I don't want anymore kids. I'm too old and I really don't have an urge to raise someone else's kid. And I'm really not wanting to have this conversation again. I've already told you how I feel about this." Vivian went to get up off the bed. But Orlando didn't let go of her. "Orlando, if having a child of your own is something you really want, I think you should do it. I won't be upset, I'll understand completely."

Now he let's go of her, "What are you saying Vivian?"

"I'm saying that I don't want to keep you from having kids. You've been such a great step dad to my kids, you'd make a wonderful father and I think if its what you want then you should do it."

"Vivi, I didn't come here to argue with you about this."

"Why did you come here Orlando? You said you were busy this week. Did something happen?"

"I don't know I just missed you. I took a day off to fly out here to see my wife. Are you disappointed I came out here? Did I interrupt something? I couldn't help but notice you and Jordan seemed really close this morning when I got here. And now you're acting like you don't want me here."

Vivian thinks maybe she needs to tell him about her and Jordan, but she doesn't want to hurt him. But she can't keep it from him. She wants to talk to Jordan before she says anything to him. She needs to know what is going on with her and Jordan. Its all so confusing.

"I was just surprised that's all. When do you have to go back?"

"I'm flying back tonight. Let's spend a little quality time together." He smiles and climbs on top of her.

She giggles, "Lando I already told you there is no sex at my Dads house. It's his number one rule."

"Well this was a wasted trip wasn't it?"
