Thank you for the feedback @stevew
You make an excellent point of how Pamela and John Ross could have a baby that is biologically his child. I must confess that I didn't even think of that!
Then as for the business. I am not that good at the details as you are so I am wondering what is an IPO?
I think the reason why John Ross doesn't just want to start his own company is because the Ewing legacy has been drummed into him since he was little. He grew up thinking he would inherit his father's company. So if he'd start his own company it wouldn't be the same.
Now on to the next update...

Lucy was upstairs in their bedroom putting in the laundry, when Mitch came home from work, earlier than expected. “Mitch! What are you doing home so early?” Lucy asked, as she was surprised to see her husband. “I thought you didn’t get off work until six.”
“I don’t but when I talked to Doctor Cohen earlier today I had to come here,” Mitch told her in a clearly upset voice.
Lucy’s face paled when she heard that, “You know Doctor Cohen?”
“Yeah he used to work at the clinic,” Mitch said.
“Oh,” Lucy made a face as she realized that she’d stepped in it.
“Lucy why didn’t you tell me that you thought you had cancer?” Mitch asked and Lucy closed her eyes, as she was found out.
“I didn’t want to worry you,” she said with tears in her eyes. “Besides what happened to patient-doctor confidentiality?”
“Doctor Cohen thought I should know,” Mitch said. “I mean you’re my wife and we said in sickness and in health, right?”
“Right, so does that mean that I’m dying?”
“He didn’t say. But this came for you today.” Mitch reached Lucy a letter that had come with the mail that had the hospital’s logo on it. “I am sure your answer is in there.”
“Then you open it,” Lucy said. “I’m too nervous to!”
“Are you sure?” Mitch asked. “I mean it is addressed to you and this type of mail is confidential.”
“You said it yourself, you’re my husband so we should be able to share things like this.”
“Alright, here it goes,” Mitch opened the letter and Lucy studied his face for a reaction but his face gave away nothing as he muttered, “Just as I thought.”
“I’ve got cancer?” Lucy asked, as she tried to mentally brace herself for what was coming. Ever since her grandma had breast cancer she had feared this moment and now when it was here it felt like the time was standing still. She was so scared. But she tried to hide her fear behind a brave mask.
“No, it was benign,” Mitch smiled.
“So that means I’m healthy?” Lucy’s face broke up in a relieved smile.
“Yes,” Mitch smiled.
“Oh Mitch, I’m so relieved!” Lucy said as the tears started streaming down her face, “I mean I’ve been so scared. I thought for sure that I had cancer. I mean my grandma was a breast cancer survivor, JR died from cancer, Bobby had it too and...”
“I know honey but you don’t have cancer,” Mitch smiled, as he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
“Thank God!” Lucy smiled, before she gave him a big kiss. Suddenly she was feeling very much alive again. Her life had been so good in the last decade that she had thought for sure that it couldn’t last. She had been waiting for the other shoe to drop and for something to punch her in the gut. She had been so sure that cancer was the evil that was going to destroy their happy home and end her life prematurely. So to find out that she had been wrong and that all her worrying had been for nothing made her feel like she was all over the place emotionally. She was happy, relieved, stunned and most of all grateful. She knew now that it was better to get checked up and face whatever was coming head on, than to live her life in fear of something that might not even be true. At least now she knew. She didn’t have cancer and life was still good. In fact it was better than good, it was damn near perfect.
