Hi everyone.  Here's the update.

Cooper escorts Allie to the family clinic to get her abortion.  He tells her
that if she wants to change her mind he will stand behind her.  He says he
will be there no matter what she decides.  She thanks him and says that she
is sure that she has made the correct decision.  A woman grabs hold of Allie
and tells her not to be a murderer.  This upsets Allie and she begins to
question Cooper whether she's a murderer.  Cooper calms her down and says
she's not, that she is just making a decision about her body.  They sit
in the waiting room and discuss how the one mistake they made in NY has
forced them to become adults very quickly and make very important life
decisions.  They talk about how glad they are that they have become such good
friends.  They both want children someday, but not now and not with each other.
Allie admits that she is scared.  Cooper says he'll be right there through
the whole thing.  The nurse comes and asks if Allie has already talked to
a counselor and if she has any additional questions about the procedure.
Allie says she has no questions and has already spoken to a counselor.  As
the nurse begins taking Allie back cooper stops her.  He looks real serious
and then he just tells her that he thinks she'll make a good mom someday.
Allie smiles and says thanks.  They hold hands and then Allie goes with 
the nurse.

Stacy calls Trucker to come over.  Trucker comes immediately.  Stacy tells
Trucker that he is the only one she trusts and that he can't tell anyone
not even Trisha, what she is about to tell him.  She says that Jack called
her and told her to go to the hospital.  That she would be safe there and
he would come get her when he could.  Trucker tells Stacy that she has to
fight for her children.  Stacy says that she and Jack are fighting for their
children.  She says that everything will be perfect when Jack brings her
back from the hospital.  Trucker looks worried, but doesn't say anything.
Stacy then asks him to do her a favor.  He says he'd do anything.  She wants
JJ and Heather to stay at the Tides with Trisha and Trucker while she's
away.  She says she doesn't want Clay near her children.  Trucker agrees to
do this.  Stacy says she'll send Jean with them to help out.  The kids come
down stairs and Stacy explains to them that she has to go away for a little
while, but she'll be back soon.  She tells the kids that they get to go stay
with Trisha and Trucker while she's gone.  Clay comes in with the doctor to
take Stacy away.  She goes with him calmly.  Trucker explains to JJ that
his mother is going to a big house in the country to relax and rest.  JJ
asks if it will make her better.  Trucker says yes.  Stacy, Clay and the doctor
arrive at the hospital.  Clay is acting all heartbroken and telling the
doctor to please make Stacy to return to the woman he loved so deeply.  The
doctor says he will.  Stacy tells Clay to cut the crap because she knows what
he's up to and he won't get away with it.  Clay acts hurt and shocked and then
says goodbye and how he loves her.  He gives the doctor a pitiful look and
shakes his hand.  Clay leaves.

Clay goes to his office at AE.  He stands at the door imaging it with only his
name on it.  When he comes in Louie is waiting for him.  Louie calls him
Clay Sullivan.  Clay shuts the door real quick and tells Louie not to call
him that when people could hear.  Louie tells Clay that he messed up Dinah Lee's
life and now he's destroying Stacy and he's not going to let it happen.  Clay
says that He has nothing to do with Stacy's breakdown, that she just can't deal
with Jack's death.  Clay says that he does love Stacy.  Louie says he loves
Dinah Lee.  Clay says he loves them both, that is possible to care for more than
one person at a time.  He says he's not hurting Stacy, that he wouldn't.
Louie looks suspicious.  Louie tells Clay to look at what he has become.
Louie tells Clay that he is watching him and that if he finds out he hurt Stacy
he will make Clay regret it.  Clay looks stunned as Louie turns to leave.

Well that's all.  Fell free to add anything I missed.
