Misunderstood Part 4:
Things in the Frio house were tense, Caroline and Joe had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for weeks now. Joe promised to never see Jenni again and he hadn't, but the fact that he had been cheating on Caroline weighed heavily in her thoughts....forgiveness was not coming easily.
Caroline delved deeply into parenting her kids. She clung to Connor, she knew he would be her last baby. She took him on a stroller ride to who knows where just to get out of the house and get some sun, being in the sun always cheered Caroline up.

She saw the name Frio on the mailbox she passed and decided to see who lived there. (Agnes visiting Connor cracked me up, wonder if they remember they were married in a previous save! ;) )

The gentleman who lived there seemed normal looking enough so Caroline introduced herself and her son to Connor, they got quite a laugh out of the two Connors, himself and Caroline's son. (they did get hearts for each other which is not shocking since Caroline IS a Connor in female form, only 2 traits changed).

They became very fast friends!

Connor was starving so I had them go to the diner..I wanted some friendly interaction after but Caroline was very tired as was toddler Connor so they went right home.

Joe must have been feeling lonely and tried some romantic moves on Caroline...the results were not promising.

Caroline went to her bed, Paulo was already in bed, he must have had a bad dream.
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2388_zpsuuaubrwa.jpg
Joe climbed into his bed in the guest bedroom.

It seems Caroline made a good impression on Connor as he kept calling her...

Connor was hungry and Caroline was in the shower, I didn't know children could give toddlers bottles!! Sweet brothering Jared.

Joe taught Connor how to talk the other day, Connor obviously remembered his profession from a past life... ;)

http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2426_zps7khpgkxn.jpg
Jared decided to yell at him for being mean this time.

But after he suggested they retire to the bedroom Caroline saw through his "romance", he just wanted a roll in the hay....the boy was as deep as a puddle!
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2434_zpskp6d2qv4.jpg
Joe then called Caroline a choice name and she ran to her room hurt as usual.

Joe was thinking about Bessie again, he couldn't get her out of his head lately, he missed her terribly.

After a very restless night of no sleep Joe did probably the stoopedest thing even and dared going over to Bessie and Buster's house, he needed to talk to her. He prayed Buster would not answer the door.
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2439_zpslv3h46ky.jpg
Bessie didn't seem surprised to see Joe even though it had been years. She yelled to Xander that she was going for a walk...she sensed Joe needed to talk. They went up to the secluded fishing spot they used to go to so many years ago.
Joe mostly made small talk but then the subject of kids came up.
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2441_zpstpzaqrkg.jpg
He knew he was bating her and had figured out long ago that Xander was probably his son. He knew it was very wrong but he wanted to see Bessie's face when he told her about Buster's vasectomy....if Buster hadn't told her about it yet, but he doubted Buster had.
"So, did you adopt your son?" Joe asked innocently as possible...
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2444_zpsqwgqomt8.jpg
Bessie looked shocked.."No, he's Buster's child, why would you ask that?" Bessie stated.
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2446_zpsrvprpxcm.jpg
"Because Buster told me years ago his first wife made him get a vasectomy because she hated kids!"
Bessie was MAD...."That's not true Joe!"
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2450_zpsfsmis0ae.jpg
"He's my kid Bessie! You know he's mine...."
http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/beckynichols66Charlottesmom1966/Connor%20Jared%20Paulo/Screenshot-2448_zpsw65yhluc.jpg
"I can't deal with this right now...leave me alone Joe!" and with that Bessie ran off like all the women in Joe's life seem to do.
