add on: Morgan/Billie [eric?] @ Salem Place

[billiereed]

After the good talk with Hope, Billie stays in her seat, drinking more coffee. She's pretty cold, and assumes Casey must be as well so she lays the blanket over him. She vows to go home as soon as she finishes her coffee, and looks up to see the poster she'd looked at earlier

"Hello, Ms.Reed." Morgan said softly.

[hellomissmorgan]

Morgan nodded. "Yea..." she agreed. "I'm sorry you know what that feels like. No one should ever have to go through that."

[billiereed]

"You are right. No one should." Billie agreed. "Want to know sometrhing else we have in common?"

[hellomissmorgan]

"Sure." Morgan sighed. She shrugged, knowing she should appreciate Billie, because Billie understood her.

[billiereed]

"My child was taken away from me too." she finally said.

[hellomissmorgan]

Morgan leaned forward a little and cocked a sideways look at Billie. "Yea, that's right. Chelsea mentioned that she was adopted all these years until she came to Salem. I'm really glad she stayed."

[billiereed]

"Me too. I'm really glad she stayed, because knowing that I thought my daughter was dead for years killed me. It was such a blessing to know she lived after all. I'm really thankful you know, that she was so well taken care of, but I wish that I'd been there for her all the years she was growing up."

[hellomissmorgan]

"The only difference Billie, not to be rude, is that I don't know if Colin is alive or dead. But I'm sure Dean or whoever has him, is not taking care of him. Oh god, I can't believe I just said that. Of course he's alive... he has to be." she cried.

[billiereed]

Feeling the emotional state as well, Billie knew her eyes were welling up with tears. "You have to hang on to that belief honey." she told her. Billie refused to believe that Colin was anything but alive. This was now the third child she'd given birth to that had been taken away from her, and it really pissed her off.

[hellomissmorgan]

"I know, that's whate everyone says, but you can't help but think of all the...."

[billiereed]

"I know." Billie agreed. "It's really hard."

[hellomissmorgan]

Morgan took a deep breath and looked over at Casey. "He sure is beautiful, Billie." Morgan said. "Hey baby. I bet your sisters and daddy were thrilled to see you."

[billiereed]

Billie tried for a smile, knowing that her time holding onto this precious life was near an end. "They were. Chelsea and Ava dote on him. Mackenzie is still too young to really understand, but she's sweet. Eric...Eric hasn't really had a lot of time to bond with him, which I guess is...sort of...a good thing."

[hellomissmorgan]

Morgan sits up slowly, confused. She looks accusingly at Billie and shakes her head. "Wait. Wait. How can you say that?" she asks. "Mr. Brady deserves to bond with his son, Billie!"

[billiereed]

"Morgan, wait. Listen to me. I just mean that it would be really hard if he bonded closely with Casey only to watch him get taken away again."

[hellomissmorgan]

Her anger turned to shock and awe, and went back to anger. "You're going to take him away again?" Morgan stood up. "What is wrong with you?! Have you hurt Eric and Chelsea and everyone else enough?! I'd give anything if my son had a good father! And thank GOD for Josh, Nathan and my dad because they're the closest thing to a father Colin will ever have! But you! You're just going to rip your son away from everyone again?!" Morgan shook her head furiously, pointing at Billie.

"No way! I won't let it happen!"
