This is another one-shot but I am posting it in sections as I write it so keep checking back because I'll be updating it every few days! This story takes place in early 1997, mere days after John married Susan, masquerading as Kristen, in the delivery room as she gave birth to Elvis Jr., or John Jr., whichever you prefer. You might remember a rather delicious kiss that John and Marlena shared in Kristen's hospital room in the days following John Jr.'s arrival, while Kristen was trying to seduce her 'husband' into bed and Marlena was struggling with telling John the truth about his 'wife'. Well, that's where this short story starts. I think we all know where it's gonna end....
