Marlena was lying in bed one morning when a feeling of incredible sadness began to overwhelm her. She didn't know what was causing it, but she knew she had to get rid of it, and fast. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, she began to sob. John heard her and came rushing into the room. He sat down beside her on the bed and quickly took her into his arms. "Shh, I'm right here, Doc." he soothed as he stroked her hair. "It's ok." It was killing him to see her like this because this time, he didn't know what to do. After a few minutes, the sobbing stopped and she glanced up, a little surprised to see John holding her. "John." she said with an embarrassed laugh as she wiped her eyes. "How long have you been here?"
"Long enough to know something's bothering you." John replied as he wiped away a few more tears. "What is it, Doc? What's wrong?" She laughed again. "Well, I'm not entirely sure, to tell you the truth." she replied. John nodded. "Well, whatever it is, I think I know how to make it better." he said with a smile. "How's that?" she asked as she returned his smile. He chuckled. "Five words, Doc- champagne, strawberries, and whipped cream." he replied before giving her a light kiss. She returned it before letting out a soft giggle. "John, you always know just how to cheer me up." she said as she flashed him another smile. "I think that's exactly what I need right now." John kissed her again before helping her out of bed. "Great. Then, let's go." he said as he opened the bedroom door. "The champagne's on ice, and I had the strawberries and whipped cream delivered while you were sleeping. They're in the fridge." Marlena giggled again as they began descending the stairs. "Well, it sounds like you've thought of everything." she said. Before John could respond, she tripped, causing her to roll to the bottom of the stairs. "Doc!" John called frantically as he rushed down to her. Amazingly, she wasn't bleeding. She was, however, unconscious. "Doc, can you hear me?" John asked as he shook her shoulders gently.
