[USER=5055]@CeeCee72[/USER] I'm glad you've been able to catch up and that you loved the scene with Sue Ellen, Gary, Val and Lucy. Yeah I thought Calhoun would be the most likely culprit to be behind the accident considering it was at the end of the season where he was causing trouble. So it's not such a far stretch to imagine he'd arranged it before he kidnapped John Ross. You are right that going back to an ex might not be the best idea. But sometimes it does happen.  Anyway I wanted to put Bobby and Pam back together again and even if Ann and Harris didn't have the most healthy relationship I did enjoy their flirt in season three so I wanted to build on that. I think Ann brought out a softer side in Harris.Okay so in tonight's update it's time for Pam to come home to her family. *Pam could feel a sense of déjà vu come over her when Bobby pulled off the road and drove under the Southfork Ranch sign. It had been almost forty years since the first time he’d brought her home to the ranch as his wife. That time they’d gotten a frosty reception as nobody was expecting them and the Ewing family hadn’t been happy to hear that their Bobby had up and married Pamela Barnes. She had been Digger’s Daughter so for her to marry Jock Ewing’s son had hurt both his family and hers. But she had went ahead and done it anyway since she loved Bobby. All these years later and a lot had changed in their lives. They had both gone gray, albeit she hid it with hair dye, but the love they felt for each other had grown even stronger. Also unlike the first time he’d brought her home, this time their family was expecting them and were waiting for her return.When Bobby’s car pulled up in the driveway the whole family was there to greet them. Christopher, Elena, baby Drew, Carmen, Josephine, Pamela Rebecca, John Ross, Sue Ellen, Afton, Lucy, Mitch, Bradley and Ellie were all there, waiting on the patio. Above them they had hung a sign that read ‘Welcome Home Pam!’Pam unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled, “Oh Bobby, why didn’t you tell me that the whole family was gonna be here?” Pam asked, as she got a bit misty eyed. This was just such an emotional moment for her.“Because then it wouldn’t have been a surprise,” Bobby smiled, as he also unbuckled his seatbelt. “Welcome home honey, “ he leant forward and gave her a kiss.“Thank you,” Pam said, as they got out of the car. He then walked around to the trunk and picked out their bags. They only had two suitcases. Pam had a lot of stuff to bring but had decided to send the rest of her personal belongings in moving boxes with a ship.“Mom!” Josephine called out for her, as she came running up to them. “I’m so glad you’re back!”“It’s good to see you baby,” Pam hugged her daughter tightly, before she took a step back to look at her, “You don’t mind me moving in with Bobby do you?”“No,” Josephine shook her head. “In fact can I live with you too?”Pam smiled surprised at the request, since she had thought her daughter didn’t approve of her relationship with Bobby, “Really?”“Yeah Southfork’s my brother’s home too, so it makes sense for me to be here,” Josephine explained. “So can I?”“Of course you can,” Bobby said, as he shook Josephine’s hand. “Welcome to Southfork.”“Thanks,” Josephine said.Christopher came walking up to them next, “Welcome home mom. I’m so glad that you and dad worked things out.”“So am I,” Pam said, as she hugged her son. “I’ve missed you like crazy.” Pam then also hugged Elena and kissed baby Drew on the top of his head. “Hello Drew. Grandma’s back.”“And he’s glad to have you home,” Elena smiled.“So are we, you are the only one who could get him to sleep,” Christopher said.“Not the only one,” Carmen shook her finger. “Nana, can get him to sleep too!“Carmen,” Pam acknowledged the woman. “Let’s not argue, we both love Drew.”“Yes we do,” Carmen said and the women shook hands.Then Lucy came up to them, “Pam,” she smiled and the women embraced.“Lucy, how are you?”“Fine,” Lucy smiled.“See I told you it was nothing,” Pam smiled reassuringly at the younger woman as she gently squeezed her hands. “Isn’t it nice to know?”“Yeah you were right,” Lucy nodded, “Thanks for giving me a kick in the butt when I needed one.”“Yeah we owe you one,” Mitch said, as he shook Pam’s hand.“What are you talking about?” Ellie looked confused at her parents.“Oh it’s nothing,” Lucy waved it away.“No it’s not,” Ellie insisted. “You have something face mom. So spill!”“Alright,” Lucy sighed heavily. “I thought that I had breast cancer like my grandma but I went in for a scan and it turns out that I didn’t.”“Good since I couldn't stand losing you, mom,” Ellie said, giving her mom a hug.“You are not going to lose me,” Lucy said with tears in her eyes as she hugged her daughter tightly. Then she pulled back and her son gave her a look.“I’m glad that you’re healthy mom,” Bradley said, tapping his mom on her shoulder.“So am I,” Lucy said, as she hugged her son too.Meanwhile Pam continued greeting the rest of the family, turning to Afton next, “Pam,” Afton smiled as she hugged her friend and former sister in law, “I’m so glad that things worked out for you and Bobby!”“Thanks, I know you really mean that,” Pam returned her smile before turning to Afton’s daughter.“Pamela,” Pam smiled at her niece. “Oh look at you, you’re beginning to show now!” Pam excitedly patted her niece stomach.“So mom’s told you huh?” Pamela made a face.“Yeah,” Afton nodded. “You know how excited I am to become a grandma.”“Too excited,” Pamela sighed. “She never leaves me alone. She always have five hundred and one different tips for me how I could make this pregnancy easier.”“Well she’s only doing it because she loves you and wants you to have a healthy baby,” Pam said.“I know but it’s so hard,” Pamela bit her lip. “I’m so afraid that something will go wrong...”“It won’t,” Pam said reassuringly. “Now give me a hug.”“Okay,” Pamela said, as she hugged her aunt.“Everything’s gonna be okay,” Pam said before she let go of her niece and turned to John Ross.“John Ross,” she smiled at him.“Welcome home Pam,” John Ross said as he also hugged his aunt.“Thank you John Ross. You know this is in parts all because of you,” Pam smiled at him and John Ross raised his eyebrow, so she went on explaining, “See if you hadn’t come to Abu Dhabi I might never have remembered this place or the family I’d left behind.”“Well I’m glad that I was able to bring you out of your amnesia,” John Ross said.“Me too,” Pam said. “It’s a good thing you found me.”“Well technically it was JR who found you but...”“Now that’s ironic,” Pam laughed. “I bet JR would have been so thrilled if he’d known that he was the one who was responsible for bringing that dreaded Barnes woman back to the ranch.”“Oh I can just hear him now,” Bobby smiled at that. “But in all seriousness he always loved me more than he hated you. I mean on our second wedding day he told me that he was okay with us since he wanted me to be happy. So I think he’d be okay with it.”“Are you kidding me?” Lucy quipped. “He’d be rolling over in his grave!”“Probably,” Sue Ellen smirked. “But he did love Bobby.”Pam then shifted her attention to her former sister in law. She was surprised to see that Sue Ellen was here as the woman had made it painfully clear to her the last time they spoke that she sided with Ann. So things were a bit tensed between them.“Sue Ellen,” Pam acknowledged the woman in a chilly tone of voice.Sue Ellen sighed, before she said something Pam hadn’t expected her to, “Look Pam, I’m sorry about what I said before you left,” Sue Ellen apologized. “Yes Ann is my friend but we were friends too once and now when you’re back with Bobby I hope we could be friends again?”“Sure Sue Ellen,” Pam smiled before she gave Sue Ellen a hug.After they’d broken off the hug Sue Ellen turned to her former brother in law, “Bobby, I’m sorry for what I said to you too,” Sue Ellen apologized. “I only did it because Ann is my friend and we’ve been through some rough patches together.”“I know that,” Bobby nodded. “You don’t need to explain anything to me.”“But I do,” Sue Ellen said. “Because I was unfair to you and I can see now that you and Pam are meant for each other.”“Thank you Sue Ellen, I’m glad we have your blessing,” Bobby smiled.“You do,” Sue Ellen said and they exchanged a hug too.Then once they’d broken that off Bobby looked at his whole family that were now gathered at the ranch and smiled at them, “So why don’t we all go inside and freshen up some before dinner?”“Good idea,” Pam said, as they started moving towards the house.“So I guess you’ll be living with us,” John Ross said, as they walked into the house.“Yeah,” Pam nodded. “But we really must do something about the interior design,” Pam wrinkled her nose, as she looked around the living room. “I’m sorry to say it but it looks like you’ve been shopping at Pottery barn!”They all laughed at that since it was a pretty accurate description. “Well feel free to change whatever you’d like,” John Ross offered. “We want you to feel at home here.”“See I told you they would be happy that you’re back,” Bobby winked at Pam.“Yeah you were right and it sure feels good to be home,” Pam smiled and it did. Southfork had only been her home for a few years before she’d divorced Bobby. But those years had been the happiest in her life. So she was hoping that moving back to the ranch again would bring it all back and that their twilight years would be the best in their lives.</blockquote>
