Chapter 1

Elm Street Pier

"Dinner was wonderful, Sonny." I said. "Only the best for the woman I love." he said smiling. He was about to lean in and kiss me when I jumped.

"Whats wrong, are you okay ?" he questioned. "Oh, Im fine, the baby just kicked." I placed his hand on my stomach. "Do you feel it?" "Yeah, our

little girls a fighter." "Of course she is, look at who her parents are." I said laughing. Sonny looked back at me with the same warm smile I had fallen

in love with. "Are you ready to go home, Emily ?" he said, extending his hand to meet mine. "Yeah, lets go." I answered. Suddenly, we heard rustling

in the bushes behind us. "What was that?" I questioned. "Stay right here, Im gonna check it out." I nodded and turned so I could see what was

happening. I spotted a man clad in black and toting a gun, approaching Sonny. "Sonny, watch out !" I screamed. The man noticed Sonny reaching

into his pocket for his gun, and attempted to run away. "Drop the gun !" He yelled. Sonny wrapped his hands around the mans throat, and a struggle

ensued. "Run, Emily !" screamed Sonny. Everything faded to black, and my head met with the coarse wood on the Elm Street Pier. The would be

assassin quickly ran off into the distance. Sonny reached into his pocket and called an ambulance. I could hear the faint sound of his voice explaining

to the dispatcher that Id been shot. "Emily, please, help is on the way, just hang on." he said. The paramedics arrived and informed Sonny that I was

in grave condition, and they had no way of knowing if the baby would make it.

At GH

Monica, whos had a difficult time with my involvement with Sonny Corinthos from the start, was naturally the first doctor on the scene. "Oh my God,

Sonny, what happened to her !" she exclaimed. "Ill explain later, please just save Emily and my baby." he responded. With that, Monica and the

doctors wheeled me into the hospital room. "Monica, please, let me know as soon as you find anything out !" he called after her. Monica simply

ignored his request, and focused on saving the lives of her daughter, and unborn grandaughter.

At GH (In the Lobby)

Sonny Corinthos, sat in the chair motionless, hating himself for the danger he places the lives of the people he loves in. Feeling only a deep hatred for

the pain he had caused Emily and the child shes, carrying, his child. Thoughts began to race through his mind. What if he had lost Emily ? What if he

lost them both ? How could he live with himself, knowing he had inadvertently killed his family ? His trance came to an abrupt halt when Elizabeth

tapped him on the shoulder. "Hi, Sonny." she said. "I have some news about Em and the baby." she added. "Yeah, whats going on ?" he said

inquisitively. "Emily was taken to the OR for emergency surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain. Shes stable, but shes in a coma." "Can I see

her ?" said Sonny. "Emilys in ICU, so shes not supposed to have visitors, But Ill see what I can do." "Alright, what about the baby ?" "The only way

the baby will survive, is if we deliver her right now. Shes on her way to OR for a C-Section" said Liz. "Its too soon." said Sonny with concern. "I

know." she added. "But her lungs are fully developed. Premature babies have a sixty five percent survival rate, if their delivered after twenty four

weeks." "Okay, I want the best doctors, I dont care what it costs." Elizabeth could see the fear in Sonnys eyes, she tried to comfort him. " The best

OBGYN we have on staff is performing the surgery." Liz said. "I have to go, Ill let you know the minute Em comes out of surgery." she said Sonny.

"Thanks, Elizabeth." She smiled politely and made her way to the elevator.
