Episode # 9527 ~ Sharon Struggles With Nick's Proposal

Provided By Eric
Proofread By Emma

Daniel: Hey. (Sighs) (Grunts)

Phyllis: Good morning. Hey. Why you so down? (Sighs) Is it just about the paternity test? Is that--?

Daniel: No, they haven't called yet. Probably sometime today.

Phyllis: I mean, if it-- if its bad news, I mean, we'll deal with it. But it's not--it's not going to be. Yeah, right.

Daniel: It's not gonna be bad news. It's not gonna be bad news. Everything that Daisy's ever said hasn't been the truth, so her claim that I'm the baby's father is just another one of her lies.

Phyllis: It's--it's--I know. It's insane. It's crazy. Okay, good, so it's gonna be good news. Well, wha--what's goin' on? Why are you still down?

Daniel: It's my anniversary, or it would be if I weren't divorced, and... I don't know. You know, I-I felt like I was 100% committed to trying to spend the rest of my life with Amber, and I couldn't even make it a year.

Gloria: (Sighs) Gloworm really is about starting over, and I'm just glad you're here to get your fresh start.

Adam: Thanks, Gloria. I appreciate that.

Gloria: (Chuckles) Oh, Dear.

Adam: There won't be a scene, I promise.

Gloria: It's not entirely up to you, is it, Kiddo?

Adam: Mm.

Adam: I thought I made it clear that you should keep your distance.

Skye: I know you too well to take your little outburst seriously.

Adam: I was dead serious.

Skye: Adam, you're not upset with me. You're upset with yourself, because the big plan to impress Sharon with your born-again humility has flopped. It was obvious it would. Girlfriend likes the finer things in life. She was never gonna choose a man in ashes and sackcloth over one in Armani. (Chuckles)

Sharon: Nick, you-- you--you've caught me off guard. I... (Laughs)

Nick: All right, look. You know... you know that I love you. I couldn't stop even when I tried.

Sharon: I do. I know that. And I'm so happy with the way that things worked out. But I...

Nick: You're just not too sure about... marriage?

Sharon: Well, I-I mean, you're gonna be living here with me and Faith, and that's just-- I mean, that's more than I ever thought I would have. And, I don't know, maybe just for now, that's enough.

Nick: So you don't want to push your luck.

Sharon: Well, I just want to make sure that there's no question later that we did the right thing for the right reason. And I'm just so happy to be here in this home, in the home that we were so happy in before. And I don't know, maybe I just don't want to... push it.

Nick: You know what? Hold that thought.

Sharon: (Sighs) What are you doing?

Nick: Don't move.

Tucker: Delivery's on schedule? That's what I like to hear. Right. Ahh. Is that Abby's present?

Ashley: Sure is. And there's room on the card. Do you want me to sign your name?

Tucker: No, I got her something.

Ashley: You did? What'd you get her?

Tucker: I'll let you be surprised.

Ashley: What are you up to?

Tucker: Oh, time to get to Victoria's.

Ashley: (Groans) You know what? I just hope and pray they did not invite Vance, because it makes me sick to my stomach to think that they're working together to sue her own father, as if anything good can come of that.

Tucker: Whatever happens, Abby'll land on her feet because she takes after you.

Ashley: Well...

Tucker: She's a survivor.

Ashley: You know what it is? Thank you very much, but the thing is, she would not be in this situation if Jack and Victoria weren't pressuring her. And I raised her to trust her own instincts and to make her own decisions, and I'm just wondering, when is that Abby gonna reemerge?

Jack: Happy birthday, Kiddo.

Abby: Yeah.

Victoria: We have a very, very big surprise for you.

Abby: Really?

Victoria: The judge ruled today Dad has to turn over his accounting records. Come on. This is a huge victory.

Jack: Trust me, your dad would not have fought turning over those records quite so hard if they didn't prove exactly what you've been saying. He's been mismanaging your trusts.

Abby: Does Dad know yet?

Victoria: Bad news sort of has a way of traveling really, really slowly to his office, but I'm sure...

Jack: Oh, what I wouldn't give to see the look on his face right now.

Woman: I tried to stop them.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Vance: Your appeal was denied. The higher court authorized release of your financial records... to me.

Victor: Under no circumstances will you walk out of this building with these records.

Victor: Call security.

Woman: Yes, Sir.

Victor: There's proprietary information contained in these files. I'm not gonna let you walk out with them.

Vance: And if you don't, you'll be defying a court order, in which case, I still get the records, and you get taken out of here in handcuffs. It's your choice, Pal.

Victor: It ain't gonna happen.

Vance: The court ruled against you. Now it's time to stand aside and let these gentlemen do their jobs.

Victor: I'm calling Michael Baldwin.

Vance: He's done all he can to help you, "Boss." There's nothing else he can do.

Victor: We'll see about that, Mr. Abrams.

Abby: This wasn't supposed to be about revenge, you guys.

Victoria: It's not. We're protecting ourselves.

Abby: (Scoffs)

Jack: You are fighting to get your independence.

Abby: And you? What are you gonna get?

Jack: Uh, outsmarting your dad has its own rewards. You know what? Imagining the look on his face right now is not the same as seeing it. I'm gonna go.

Victoria: Uh, Jack, that's not a good idea poking the line with a stick. If I were you, I'd stay away from him today.

Jack: You're--you're gonna miss out on all the fun. Abby, listen to me. I know you are worried about the repercussions. You had to do this. Half-measures are not going to get you where you need to go. I promise, I will be there to protect you all the way to the finish line. Happy birthday.

Abby: Thanks.

Victoria: Okay, listen to me. Someday, you'll be very glad that you put this boundary between yourself and Dad. Even if you choose to have him back in your life--

Abby: No, I'm not going to get that choice. Dad isn't gonna want to have anything to do with me after this.

Victoria: I understand living with that fear of rejection. I let that control me. I did everything that Dad asked me to do. And because of that, I lost a marriage. I lost my son. It would have cost me Billy if I would have let it.

Abby: Okay, fine. Fine. Okay. So you made a stand for love. Okay, that's great. But that's not what this was about for me, okay? I-I mean, yeah, I wanted my independence, but partly because I wanted to make a huge success of myself just like Dad did, and make him proud of me, and now he is going to disown me.

Victoria: Abby, that's not gonna happen.

Abby: No, you know what? Call me a wimp, a-and tell me that I'm being manipulated. I don't even care anymore. I just want out.

Phyllis: Daniel, the end of a marriage does not make you a failure. It doesn't make you a failure. But you weren't even thinking about this a week ago, so what's really going on?

Daniel: I don't know. Doesn't it strike you as a little bit ironic that I ended my relationship with Amber because I didn't want to be a father, and now I'm being told that I already was one at the time?

Phyllis: Look, imagine if that marriage survived-- that you would be raising Deacon's child, and Amber would be raising Daisy's child.

Daniel: Mm-hmm, yeah. We'd be like "The Brady Bunch" meets "Rosemary's Baby."

Phyllis: Ah! See? Look. I tricked you. I made you make a joke. You still have your sense of humor.

Daniel: What I don't have is, I don't have Abby.

Phyllis: What do you mean, you don't have her?

Daniel: She, um, wasn't too excited about the whole "Baby makes three" concept, and she bailed. Um... yeah. How's that for karma?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Daniel: You know, she dumps me for the same reason I broke it off with Amber.

Phyllis: So you're, uh, just on--based on the mere possibility that it could be your child...

Daniel: She's done. She... kicked rocks, and that must make you thrilled.

Phyllis: (Gasps) What are you talking about? I really liked Abby.

Daniel: I know. Oh, yeah, I could tell.

Phyllis: Yeah, I abs-- I thought she was fantastic.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Listen, I didn't think that she was right for you. And I don't want you rushing into anything. That's all. And you never know what you're getting in the beginning. I mean, you never know what someone can put up with. So the first situation that came up that was less than perfect, she bailed. I mean, come on. Daniel, what the hell is that?

Nick: I have something for you.

Sharon: Yeah?

Sharon: What-- Nick. How...

Nick: That's our engagement ring from when we were kids.

Sharon: Oh, I--

Nick: Let me just... Sharon, I'm not proposing to you again just on impulse or for the wrong reasons. It comes straight from the heart, from this heart that has been yours for as long as I can remember. I remember the first time that I gave that to you. I was so... nervous. (Sighs) I was also so excited because we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. It was this long, hard road, and we went through so much. And there was pain... more pain than we could ever imagine. But it still amazes me that our feelings were able to survive all that, and they did because they're that strong. They brought us back together when we were in Paris, and then in that cabin. And in that cabin, we made Faith, this beautiful, beautiful little girl who embodies everything that we are to each other.

Nick: Please tell me those are happy tears.

Sharon: (Sighs) (Chuckles) I just want to know one thing.

Nick: Okay, what?

Sharon: Where did you find this? (Chuckles)

Victor: Michael, you know damn well the minute these records leave this building, they'll get in the hands of the competition, especially Jack Abbott. That'll be catastrophic for our company.

Vance: Let me know.

Victor: Well, you know that. What are you talking about? Are you serious? (Sighs) I'll call you later.

Vance: May we go now?

Victor: Get these parasites out of here, including the records.

Vance: This way, Gentlemen.

Jack: Pardon me.

Jack: Wow. What just happened?

Victor: As if you didn't know.

Jack: Hey, I just came by to update you on our little joint project.

Victor: My ass. You came here to gloat, didn't you? You're behind this lawsuit, Jack.

Jack: Hey, you put your heart and soul into something, you want to be there for the payoff, right?

Victoria: I know. (Sighs)

Abby: (Sniffles)

Victoria: I know it's a rotten coincidence, this ruling coming down on your birthday, huh?

Abby: I don't know. You know, living all over growing up, this was the one day that I could count on Dad to remember my existence and make a fuss. I knew it was gonna be different, but I thought maybe I might at least still get a phone call. It's not gonna happen. You probably think I shouldn't care.

Victoria: No, I don't think that. I've always wanted Dad's love and affection. I always have, but you have to know that it comes with a price, and he just doesn't give it away.

Abby: Well, maybe I'm willing to pay that price.

Victoria: I don't think you fully understand what that means, Abby.

Abby: I understand a lot more than you think I do. I know what it's like to lose a father and a sister, and I shouldn't have to go through that again. I shouldn't have to choose between you.

Victoria: Sweetie, you don't have to choose. And you're not gonna lose anyone. Look, Dad lashes out when he can't control us. That's all that it is.

Abby: Yeah, or when we hurt him.

Victoria: Yes. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. He loves you in his own... wildly dysfunctional way. He loves you. And he's missing you today as much as you're missing him, okay? I promise you.

(Knock on door)

Victoria: Oh, good. Hi.

Ashley: Hi.

Victoria: Perfect timing. Um, I actually need to run out and grab Abby's gift.

Ashley: Okay. Do you mind if we start the party without you?

Victoria: No, go right ahead. Birthday girl's inside.

Ashley: Okay, thanks.

Victoria: Okay.

Ashley: Hi!

Abby: Hi! (Chuckles)

Ashley: Baby, happy birthday.

Abby: Thank you.

Gloria: Adam? I need you to go pick up some janitorial supplies. We're fresh out of that, uh, heavy-duty drain cleaner.

Adam: Well, my driver's off until this afternoon.

Gloria: Yeah, well, I'll give you bus fare, huh? Enjoy that sandwich.

Skye: Oh, I am.

Adam: Why are you still here, Skye?

Skye: Sorry. Can't resist. It's just so rare your plans backfire this spectacularly.

Adam: Mm, well, you're right about that. They have backfired. I quit Newman so I could get away from you. Look at this.

Skye: The point was to trick Sharon into thinking you'd rediscovered your true self.

Adam: And what would you know about me and my true self?

Skye: How long do you think you can keep this up? (Chuckles)

Skye: Keep the change.

Nick: I found that, uh, a few years ago when I was looking for a thermometer when Noah was sick. It really... meant a lot to me that you held on to it, even though we kept claiming that we were trying to move on from each other.

Sharon: (Sighs) I felt like... I mean, if--if I hadn't kept it, I... I just would have been getting rid of all of those memories. I would have... I would have lost a piece of myself.

Nick: Sharon, I don't want to spend any more time trying to figure out who we are or what we feel.

Nick: Please tell me. Will you marry me?

Nick: Yeah? Well, that doesn't count. You--you gotta say it.

Sharon: (Laughs) Yes. (Laughs)

Nick: Yes.

Sharon: (Sighs)

Nick: This is exactly what I want. It's what I've always wanted.

Sharon: Me, too.

Nick: I love you so much.

Nick: Wow.

Sharon: (Sighs)

Nick: I mean... I mean, do you think anybody's gonna be surprised? I mean... (Chuckles)

Sharon: Um, definitely not Noah. (Laughs)

Nick: Probably not Phyllis, either.

Jack: You give me too much credit. There is no way I could have convinced those girls to continue that lawsuit without some very, very fine expert assistance.

Victor: You're talking about that slime ball Vance Abrams?

Jack: Oh, no, no, not Vance--you. See, you made my point far better than I ever could. You will never stop manipulating Victoria and Abby.

Victor: You have the audacity to stand in front of me and boast of tearing my family apart?

Jack: Hey, those girls are my family, too. And, yes, I take great pride in helping them see the situation for what it really is.

Victor: You're using them to get to me.

Jack: You would love to come after me right now, wouldn't you? But you can't, because I'm your partner. Because you need me to help bring down the Newman Fund. You need me to bring down Adam.

Victor: I bet you have never known anyone who has trusted you for even a minute that has lived without regretting that.

Jack: Oh, I think Skye and Adam will regret it.

Victor: When that chapter is finished, Jack, you can hide wherever you want to. I'll find you.

Nick: How's it going? (Sighs)

Phyllis: Uh--

Nick: Am I, uh, interrupting?

Phyllis: Unh-unh. I'm just, uh, sending a text. So why'd you want to see me?

Nick: There's, uh, there's something that I want you to hear from me before--before it gets out.

Phyllis: Is it a scoop for the magazine?

Nick: Sharon and I have been spending a lot of time together, and we've been talking, and... we've decided to get married again.

Sharon: Okay, I'll-- I'll be home soon. Thanks, Amy. Bye.

Adam: Hi.

Sharon: How are you?

Adam: I'm better now. I was hopin' I would run into you, actually. You had said, uh, let me know that you and Nick were trying to work some things out, and I felt like, uh, well, I felt like there were some things left unsaid.

Sharon: Um, I-I-I just-- I have to tell you I, um...

Adam: Nick proposed?

Adam: So you're engaged.

Sharon: Yeah. It just kind of happened.

Adam: Well, as long as you're happy, and obviously you are, that's all that matters.

Sharon: I'm sure this isn't easy for you to hear.

Adam: No, I mean, it makes-- it makes perfect sense that you would want to raise your daughter with her father, reunite the family.

Sharon: Yeah, that does make sense. And--and that's important to me.

Adam: Well, uh, I'm not a big fan of Nick. I doubt I ever will be. We, uh, we obviously have our issues. But... I'm sure that he appreciates what he has with you.

Sharon: I should be going.

Adam: I really do wish you the best.

Sharon: Thanks.

Adam: Sharon, you can't go wrong when you go with your heart.

Phyllis: Married?

Nick: I wanted to make sure that you heard about this from me, so...

Phyllis: So, uh, how do you plan to tell Summer?

Nick: Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm kinda hopin' we can, you know, work on this together to make sure that Summer is not confused or, uh...

Phyllis: Um, well, take care of that. You can handle that, right? I have to go to the office. I have stuff to do. And I'm sure you're really eager to spread the word, right?

Nick: I hope you understand--

Phyllis: I completely understand. You don't have to explain anything to me.

Nick: Can we talk later?

Phyllis: Yeah. We can.

Nick: Okay.

Jack: Hey, Red.

Phyllis: (Sighs)

Victor: There was no raid on our company. You squelch that rumor right now.

Victoria: (Sighs)

Victor: I guess you're here for the same reason as Jack.

Victoria: No.

Victor: Aren't you following his lead?

Victoria: I don't want to talk about the lawsuit or anything else we've been arguing about, actually.

Victor: Then what the hell are you here for?

Victoria: (Sighs) It's Abby's birthday. She's having a hard time, and I realize that the timing is awkward, but I know that she would really appreciate it if you would... at least call her.

Victor: I'm aware of Abby's birthday. I'll get that done later, okay?

Victoria: Oh, okay, good. I'm glad to hear that.

Victor: You know, there are serious problems we have to deal with as a company. There's chaos now, created by you. You know that Vance Abrams walked out with all the records of our company. Are you aware of what that means?

Victoria: (Clears throat)

Victor: That means internationally now, you have created a crisis for our company. Investors are panicked. Competitors are licking their chops at the prospect of getting their hands on very private information that has been put out there because of you!

Abby: (Clicks lips) Oh, these are so pretty. Thank you.

Ashley: You're welcome. They're so you. I just saw them. They were just you.

Abby: I'm gonna wear them a lot.

Ashley: I know.

Abby: Thanks. I love them. (Laughs) Uh, I am a little curious about this.

Ashley: Yeah, me, too.

Abby: (Laughs)

Tucker: That's another gift that's very you.

Abby: Oats? Uh, did someone tell you that I could cook?

Tucker: You're not the one who'll be eating those.

(Horse whinnies)

Abby: Pericles? You bought my horse back?

Tucker: (Chuckles)

Abby: (Gasps) Oh, my gosh!

Tucker: (Laughs)

Abby: Thank you!

Tucker: You're welcome.

Ashley: What were you thinking?

Tucker: You told me how much she missed her horse.

Ashley: You can't do that. It's--it's too much. Are you kidding?

Gloria: All right, Gentlemen, I've gotta leave, and go pick up my beautiful grandson. And where is Adam? Hmm? Ahh. There he is. Okay, with my drain cleaner. You're a peach. I have to leave, but I would like for you--

Adam: So am I.

Gloria: What?

Adam: I quit.

Gloria: (Laughs) Come on. You can't quit. You just started.

Adam: I'm sorry, Gloria. It's--it's not for me.

Tucker: Come on. Come on, Beauty. What's the problem? I mean, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Ashley: That's not the point. It's too extravagant. Look, you didn't even ask me how I'd feel about it.

Tucker: Well, I thought I knew how you'd feel about it. I thought you'd be happy.

Ashley: I'm not happy. And now I'm in this horrible position. I-I have to ruin her birthday. Tucker, she can't accept it. It's just too much.

Daniel: Abby. Abby, hey.

Abby: Hey.

Daniel: Um, is that, uh, Pericles?

Abby: Uh, yeah. Yeah, it was a surprise for my birthday.

Daniel: From your dad?

Abby: Uh, no. Um, Tucker. Yeah, it's weird. I don't know. (Chuckles)

Daniel: Um, here. Happy birthday.

Abby: Thank you. It was nice for you to come by.

Daniel: Yeah, thanks. Um, you know, I-I... I just wanted to say I-- I wanted to tell you in case that you were feeling bad or--or something that, I don't know, I'm--I'm not upset with you for breaking things off.

Abby: Oh.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, um, because, you know, from the beginning, we were like, "Commitments aren't for us." And I'm startin' to think that nobody can really do things long-term, right? It's kinda like a myth, I guess. I-I know that I really suck at it, so I guess whether or not this kid turns out to be mine... (Sighs) You did the right thing, and it's cool.

Abby: Okay.

Daniel: Okay. Well, um, I should go, so...

Abby: What, you don't want to come in?

Daniel: Um... I'm expecting a call from the hospital lab any minute, so... no, I-I should go.

Victoria: You can stay mad at me. That's just fine. I can handle it. But it's Abby's birthday, and she's heartbroken, not just because of you, but she's missing Brad and she's missing Colleen. Maybe we can't give her back her father and her sister, but we can be there for her so that she knows that she's not alone and that she's loved. It's too late for you and me. That's for sure. But it's not too late for you and Abby. Happy birthday, Dad. Happy birthday! Is that too much to ask?

Victor: Get out of here.

Victoria: (Scoffs)

Ashley: What is it, Sweetie? Is something wrong?

Abby: (Sighs)

Tucker: Is it Pericles?

Abby: What?

Tucker: I mean, I haven't seen him since he arrived. Is he all right?

Abby: No, yeah. He's--he's beautiful. It's just...

Ashley: What?

Abby: Daniel stopped by, and he didn't want to come in. It's probably for the best.

Tucker: Listen, Abby, uh, your mom and I have been talking, and maybe I didn't think this gift through as much as I should have.

Abby: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, if I overstepped, if I made you uncomfortable, I can find a good home for Pericles.

Abby: What? No. I don't want you to do that.

Ashley: Abby, I know it's your birthday, and I'm really sorry, but it's not appropriate for you to accept something so expensive, really.

Abby: No, I-it was really generous. I acknowledge that, but it-- it was a-actually exactly what I needed today.

Victoria: Oh, good. Look, you're all still here. That's perfect. Sorry that took so long. Um, okay, so I hope you're ready for one last gift here.

Abby: Um, always.

Victoria: Of course you are. (Chuckles)

(Knock on door)

Victoria: Wait. Don't open it yet. I want to see your reaction.

Abby: (Chuckles)

Victoria: Hi.

Victor: May I come in?

Victoria: Of course.

Abby: Dad!

Victor: Hello.

Ashley: Hi.

Abby: Hi.

Victor: Was that Pericles outside?

Abby: Um, yeah. Yeah.

Victor: I thought you sold him for money.

Abby: Um... I-I did, but I got him back for my birthday. (Chuckles)

Tucker: My gift.

Abby: Um, Tucker knew how much Pericles means to me because he was a gift from you. I guess he was kind of a symbol of your love. (Chuckles)

Victor: And now you traded him for money. That's kind of symbolic, too, isn't it?

Ashley: Victor, come on. It's her birthday.

Tucker: (Sighs)

Victoria: Dad. Dad, you came all this way.

Phyllis: I should feel relieved.

Jack: (Sighs)

Phyllis: I should feel relief from this. I mean, this huge, grand... situation that I was always afraid was going to happen and always knew would happen since I-- I knew Faith was alive, well, here it is, right? Here it is. I mean, I should feel good. I should feel vindicated. I was right. I'm right. I was right, so I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy or jealous or paranoid like Nick was always trying to make me feel. So I should feel good about this. I should be thrilled that I don't have to hear Nick deny anymore that-- that Sharon is the love of his life. I should feel good.

Jack: It's gotta hurt like hell. I'm sorry.

Phyllis: (Sighs) I'm--you know what? It--it's fine. I'm fine. I'm--I got the divorce papers, and--and I-I... (Sighs) I was okay with that.

Jack: Well, that was different, and you will get through this, too.

Phyllis: I miss you.

Jack: Look, I think emotions are pretty raw right now.

Phyllis: No, no, no. I know what I'm saying. I miss you.

Jack: I just think right now isn't the perfect time to have this discussion.

Phyllis: Well, we're gonna have this discussion. We're going to have it.

(Approaching footsteps)

Jack: Yeah.

Daniel: Hey, um, I got the call. Paternity test results are in.

Nick: Is she waking up?

Sharon: Um, no. I think she's just-- she's rolling over. So tell me...

Nick: (Sighs)

Sharon: Phyllis?

Nick: You know, she handled it very well.

Sharon: Hmm. Well, I ran into Adam today, too... and he handled it well.

Nick: Well, probably in front of you. You know, with me, it'll be a different story.

Sharon: Well, I don't know. Let's not worry about Adam.

Nick: Sounds like a plan.

Sharon: (Sighs) Wow. This takes you back to high school, doesn't it?

Nick: Yeah. But this time, I'm not nervous. I'm just excited.

Sharon: Me, too. You can't go wrong if you follow your heart.

Nick: Well, I'm glad that mine led me back to you.

Skye: Oh, I knew you'd come back.

Adam: On one condition-- no more blackmail, no more leverage. We're partners, just like the old days.

Skye: Just like the old days?

Adam: Let's make some money.

Skye: Darling, so glad you're home.

Next on "The Young and the Restless"...

Lauren: You want Daisy to live with you?

Kay: Why didn't you ever tell me you had a son?

Daisy: With this baby comes an amazing opportunity, but it starts with you.
