Many many weeks later...

Halle wakes up vomiting for the 2nd morning in a row.

Meanwhile, Dean makes it to work.

(He didn't want to leave Halle, but she assured him that she'd be fine.)

Clark stops by his office to clear the air.

Clark- "Dee, I hate how things went down in Miami.  I'm sorry."

Dean- "It's already water under the bridge."

Clark- "Good.  I'm happy to hear it."

Dean- "But, it can't happen again."

Clark- "It won't."

After a while, Clark leaves and Dean calls his assistant, Erica, into his office.

Erica- "You rang?"

Dean- "What does the rest of today's schedule look like?"

Erica- "You had a client meeting at 11, but they called to reschedule for next week."

Dean- "Sweet.  I'm gonna head home and you can take the rest of the day off."

Erica- "Alright.  See you tomorrow."

Dean arrives home.

Dean- "Babe, I'm back."

Finding that Halle's not there, he gives her a call.

Halle- "Hey babe."

Dean- "Hey, I'm home.  Where are you?"

Halle- "You're home?  Babe, I told you, I'm okay.  Don't worry."

Dean- "Too late for that.  Did you go into work?"

Halle- "Um, no, the drugstore."

Dean- "That doesn't sound like you're okay.  Maybe we should go to the hospital."

Halle- "I'm, um, picking up a...pregnancy test."

Dean- "Say what?  You mean..."

 Halle- "Yeah, I could be pregnant.  It's the only thing that makes sense right now."

Dean smiles- "No way."

 Halle smiles- "Yes way.  Well, I'll be home in a bit.  I love you."

Dean- "I love you too."

Halle makes it home and finds Dean in the kitchen.

Halle- "Okay, lets see if we're going to be parents."

She goes into the bathroom and takes the test.

She's out minutes later.

Halle- "We're going to be parents!!"

Dean grins- "Really?!"

Halle's grinning too- "Really!"

Dean- "That's awesome!"

Party Time

Halle and Dean arrive at their hotel.  They relax for a while, then get dressed and make their way to the party.

 

There are about 50 guests, the music is booming and the lights are low.  The Waverly and Gilbert's occupy the 2 tables in the corner.  Dinner has already been served.

 

Dean's been working the room and finally takes a seat.

 

Halle- "I'm so proud of you."

Dean smiles- "Thanks babe."

She kisses him.

Olivia and her boyfriend, Landon, enjoy themselves.

Miles dances with his daughter, Delilah.

(*Quick update: Delilah has been looking for a job since her graduation, but hasn't had any luck.)

Brandy strikes up a conversation with Naava (Dean's mother).

(*Side note: Halle and Brandy have avoided talking to each other.)

Halle, Dean, Olivia and Landon join Miles and Delilah on the dance floor!

 

 

Much Later...

 

Olivia- "I miss our lunches."

Halle- "Me too.  Do you think the girls would want to get back to it?"

Olivia- "I hope so."

Brandy- "Oh Ethan, you're better off without Alex.  She's evil.  I'll be there for you."

Clark looks on in disgust at his wife.

Then he looks over at Halle and wonders about Alex.

Clark (who may have had a bit too much to drink)- "Alex...a freaking heartbreaker, right?"

Halle- "Excuse me?"

Clark- "She broke mine, she broke Ethan's and now my heart is breaking again...I want her back...

No!  I don't want her."

Clark- "She'll make me miserable like my wife over there, WHO CAN'T KEEP HER STINKING HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!"

Olivia- "You're gonna have to calm down."

Dean- "Clark, what's going on?"

Clark jerks back- "Don't touch me!"

Dean- "What's the problem?"

 

Clark- "You want to know what the problem is Mr. Dean?"

Clark- "I got her!  She's the worst wife in the freaking world.  She's lazy, mean...I see the way she looks at you.  But, she has this...this...this hold over me.  I can't break free from her spell.  She's like a witch."

Clark- "I envy you dude.  I'll take your beautiful wife any day."

Dean- "Alright Clark, chill out."

Clark- "Look at her...you know, I think I went after the wrong sister.  Mmm, look at those lips."

 

Dean shoves him off- "That's enough."

Clark- "Wow, it's just a compliment."

Halle- "Honey."

Naava- "Dean."

Clark- "Mmm, soft skin."

Dean hits him- "Don't touch her!"

Halle- "Dean, please don't."

Dean- "Halle move."

Halle- "How about we take a walk?"

Miles- "Son, take a minute."

 

Halle and Dean leave the building.

Brandy- "You're pathetic."

Clark- "Just get out of my life!"

Brandy- "I'll see you in court."

Clark- "I have the best lawyers you witch lady.  You'll get nothing!"

 

 

Much Much Later...

Halle and Dean rejoin the party after a relaxing walk on the beach.

 

It's after 2am and many of the guests have left.  The Waverly's are among the few remaining.

 

They talk, laugh and enjoy a few more cocktails.

Now Boarding

Alex is about to board an airplane with the married, Clark Gilbert, and has just

been hung up on by her disapproving sister.

 

Clark- "Is everything okay?"

Alex- "Hmm mmm."

Clark extends his arm- "Give me your hand."

Alex- "Well, thank you", as she walks up the steps.
