Let&#039;s get to it.&quot;They were laying on their bed, naked and snuggling beneath the covers. Sue Ellen&#039;s head was resting on his chest. JR waited for her to say something, but she remained silent.&quot;Fine,&quot; he groused. &quot;I&#039;ll start. First of all, I don&#039;t ever want to hear you refer to our marriage as loveless ever again. You know that&#039;s not true. Even during our worst times, there was love there and you know it.&quot;Sue Ellen didn&#039;t respond at all. He tamped down his annoyance and went on.&quot;As far as Ray Krebbs goes, I remember that damn night, Sue Ellen. I know what I did to you. I know how I made you feel. I left you alone, rejected, drunk, and needy. It&#039;s my fault. I hate that it happened. I hate that I have to look at Ray every day knowing he&#039;s been with you. But I&#039;ll deal with it. I don&#039;t blame you, I don&#039;t hate you, and I can put it behind us if you can.&quot;He felt the wetness of tears fall from her eyes onto his chest and he tightened his arms around her.&quot;I know what I am, Sue Ellen. Listening to Mama talk about how Daddy treated her, like a trophy or a prize and not a wife...well, I guess it just made me understand how you have felt all these years. I won&#039;t do that to you again. I don&#039;t want a trophy. I don&#039;t want a breeder. I want a woman who loves me. A partner. A friend. A lover. I&#039;m not with you because of that baby. I&#039;m not with you because of John Ross. I&#039;m with you because I love you and I need you and my life would be empty and miserable without you.&quot;&quot;Why didn&#039;t you tell me you knew about the baby?&quot; She finally spoke, her voice small and shaky.&quot;For the same reason you didn&#039;t tell me you&#039;re pregnant,&quot; he sighed. &quot;Because we suck at communicating and both of us are afraid to give the other one the benefit of the doubt. We have to get better at that, honey.&quot;&quot;Do you think we will?&quot; She asked tearfully.He shifted their bodies so he was overtop of her and could look down straight into her eyes. &quot;Yes, Sue Ellen. We will. We&#039;re already getting better at it. We&#039;re talking now, aren&#039;t we? I told you about Miranda, didn&#039;t I? We can do this, honey, but we both have to try.&quot;&quot;I will if you will, JR.&quot;&quot;I will,&quot; he whispered roughly and nuzzled her neck. &quot;I already am.&quot;Sue Ellen nodded at the truth of his words and wrapped her arms around him. &quot;I need you, JR. I need you so much.&quot;&quot;I need you just as much, Sue Ellen. Our need is because of our love, honey. Don&#039;t you understand that yet?&quot;&quot;Yes,&quot; she nodded again, tears streaming from her eyes, &quot;I guess I do. JR...make love to me again.&quot;JR smiled and slipped inside her. &quot;I&#039;m going to be making love to you for the rest of our lives,&quot; he whispered roughly. &quot;You won&#039;t ever feel unwanted or rejected ever again,&quot; he vowed as he moved in a slow, maddening rhythm. &quot;I swear it.&quot;***&quot;It&#039;s lovely to see you again, Donna,&quot; Ellie smiled and gave her guest a brief hug. &quot;&quot;This is my son, Gary. Gary, this is Donna Culver.&quot;&quot;It&#039;s nice to meet you,&quot; Donna shook his hand.&quot;Same,&quot; Gary smiled at her.&quot;I&#039;m glad Ray came over,&quot; Ellie told Donna, gesturing for everyone to take a seat. &quot;Lucy is taking all this much harder than I expected.&quot;Donna dropped her eyes to the floor and shrugged. &quot;Well, maybe she&#039;ll talk to Ray and work through her feelings.&quot;Ellie&#039;s eyes shot up at the tone of Donna&#039;s voice. She suddenly had the feeling that there was something going on with Lucy and Ray that she didn&#039;t know about.&quot;Heads up,&quot; Bobby strode into the room and pointed toward the foyer. &quot;Daddy just pulled up in the driveway.&quot;&quot;Just what we didn&#039;t need,&quot; Gary grumbled, standing up.They heard the front door open and Jock came sauntering in the room. &quot;Well look at this,&quot; he laughed. &quot;Y&#039;all having a party you forgot to invite me to?&quot;&quot;What are you doing here, Jock?&quot; Ellie demanded.&quot;What do you think, Ellie?&quot; He shot back roughly. &quot;I&#039;ve come home.

Dusty has been declared mentally unfit to handle his finances. I&#039;m his guardian. That means I control his money which means I control whether or not you continue to get paid to represent Kristen Sheppard. Now. Start talking.&quot;***&quot;Oh my God, JR!&quot; Sue Ellen put down her make-up brush and turned to look at him. &quot;Oh my GOD!&quot;&quot;Yeah,&quot; he didn&#039;t look at her. He concentrated on tying his tie instead. &quot;Pretty awful stuff.&quot;&quot;No wonder Lucy is so upset!&quot;&quot;Yeah. Look, I&#039;m ashamed to say I didn&#039;t even think about this until earlier today. I was wrapped up in the fact that he slept with you.&quot;&quot;JR,&quot; she narrowed her eyes. &quot;You said a ranch hand told you he saw Lucy and Ray in the hayloft years ago. Why didn&#039;t you ever say anything?&quot;&quot;I was saving it,&quot; he told her truthfully.&quot;Saving it for what?&quot;&quot;For if Ray ever crossed me and I needed to keep him in line,&quot; he shrugged.&quot;JR...she was so young. And your niece!&quot;&quot;Come on, Miss Texas. Well as you know me, you can&#039;t honestly be surprised that I kept it to myself on the off chance it would be useful someday.&quot;&quot;But Lucy…&quot;&quot;What?&quot; JR chuckled, &quot;I didn&#039;t need to defend her honor. That cause was lost long before Ray Krebbs.&quot;&quot;But, JR…&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen,&quot; he cut her off, &quot;It was over and done with long before I ever found out about it. I never confronted Ray because I wanted to keep this in my back pocket and I never confronted Lucy because that wouldn&#039;t have served any purpose other than to embarrass the girl.&quot;&quot;I suppose that makes sense, JR… but now…&quot;&quot;Yeah. I know. I&#039;ll talk to her, okay?&quot;&quot;Okay, JR.&quot;&quot;And you…&quot;&quot;What?&quot;&quot;Don&#039;t say one word to anyone. You hear me? Not even Bobby and Pam.&quot;&quot;I won&#039;t, JR. I promise.&quot;JR nodded and slipped on his jacket. He didn&#039;t know exactly how he was going to approach Lucy, but one thing was dead certain. This was ONE secret that could never come out.Never.It would destroy Lucy&#039;s life. Jock would never let it go. His father would throw Lucy away like a sack of garbage.And he wouldn&#039;t allow that.***</blockquote>

[QUOTE="CryptCreeper72, post: 266661, member: 5055"] I don't own any of the characters in this story and no copyright infringement is intended. This fic is an alternate timeline and features a totally different resolution to the "Who Shot JR?" plot. The timeline breaks at episode four of season four of season"Dallas." *** Shot Through the Heart Part Forty-five: *** "Alright, honey," JR kissed the top of Sue Ellen's head, "we have a lot to hash out.
