She walked in the park, happy and glowing, her hands rested on her predominantly larger stomach. Four more months until she would meet her and Sonny's new baby. Her little boy. She had been so excited when Sonny had said they could start trying again, and it had only taken one try for him to get her pregnant. This baby had been conceived for the right reason, or well a better reason. Sonny still didn't know what she had done, but in her mind he never would find proof, and if he ever did he would love their family too much to destroy it. She could think about that now, she had to focus on her walk and then get home.

The she got to her normal stopping place, the pound. It was December so it was frozen over with a thin layer of ice, she loved to stop and just examine it. Tonight was different. Tonight she heard a voice call out to her.

"Claudia please help me." She heard her youngest stepson call out. He was standing in the middle of the pound, where Claudia knew was the deepest. He was her son's older brother and she couldn't just let him get hurt.

"Hold on Morgan. Stand still, I'm going to try and call for help." He nodded and took a deep breath as she pulled her cell phone out of her jacket pocket. The answering machine. "Shit." She mumbled under her breath. She looked up into Morgan's eyes. He had Sonny's eyes, they looked so scared.

"Claudia?" She could tell he was practically in tears, a kick from her stomach told her se had to do the right thing.

"Don't worry Morgan I'm gonna come and get you." She climbed over the railing and started to talk toward him, her legs shook as she did.

"Claudia, the baby. What if something happens to the baby?" Claudia kept walking toward him, when she reached him he wrapped his arms around her. "Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet, we aren't off of here. If I tell you to run I need you to listen okay, don't you worry about me, okay?" She started to make him walk in front of her.

"Why? I mean I'll do it." She held her breath as they got closer the safe spot on the pond. Then she heard the ice crack.

"Morgan run!" He took off as she braced herself. The ice fell out from under her and soon she was in freezing cold water fighting to stay above the pond. Morgan was safe she heard him talking. Morgan watched frightened as his stepmother fought to stay above the water.

"Claudia hold on, I'm gonna call dad he'll save you." He called out before finding her phone and immediately calling his dad. "Dad you gotta get to the pond in the park fast!" "Why what happened? I'm almost there. Why are you on Claudia's cell?" "She fell in dad, I was stuck and she got me." He heard the phone click off and then turned to see his dad running.

"Morgan!" He ran up and saw the his son was okay. But he heard the struggling and looked to see that Morgan had been telling the truth. Claudia had fallen in and was fighting for her and their child's life. "Claudia hold on!" He yelled trying to get her to fight a little longer. He climbed over the railing and grabbed her hand, pulling her from the water. She was freezing and barely conscious. "Morgan, call the hospital and tell them we're coming in, tell them she's five months pregnant." He tells his youngest son, before they start to run to the parked car where Max was sitting in the front seat waiting.

"They said they'd be ready for us." Morgan says out loud to no one in particular. Sonny was trying to warm Claudia up as soon as possible and Morgan knew if something happened to his baby brother it would be his fault. When the car stopped Sonny took Claudia back into his arms and ran with her inside, Morgan quietly followed.

"Sonny what happened?" Dr. Lee asked as soon as she saw Claudia. Morgan bite at his lip, tasting blood when he bit too hard.

"She fell into the pond, the water was freezing, she lost consciousness when I pulled her out of the water." He told her quickly everything he knew that had happened to his pregnant wife.

"She's close to having a stroke, we may have to administer a medicine to help her wake up." Dr. Lee told Sonny. Morgan slipped out of the room un-noticed by his father.

"Do anything to help her and the baby." He looked extremely nervous as he watched the doctors and nurses work on his wife.

"That's the problem, Sonny. If she doesn't wake up and we have to give her the medicine, the baby won't make it." He looked at her, incredulous, he couldn't risk his son for his wife and he couldn't risk his wife for his son. He felt the tears come to his eyes, but he contained them, well.

"How long until you have till Claudia will have a stroke?" He sat down next to her as the nurses moved away and it was just him and Dr. Lee in the room. He ran his hand over his son's growth spot and couldn't help but smile. Their baby, their second chance, their miracle.

"I'll give her about ten minutes, but that's it. I can't compromise my patient any further than that." She tells him before walking out of the room. Sonny shook his head.

"You were right she does have to work on her bedside manner. Claudia you've gotta fight for our son. His mother has to wake up so he can be okay. Please, Claudia, wake up. I can't lose either one of you." Little did Sonny know that Morgan was listening to the whole thing.

XOXOXOXO

Morgan ran down the hall, upset and crying when he ran into his mom. She didn't have the baby with her so he wondered what was wrong. He looked at her confused, but she hugged him tightly, making him feel better.

"Your dad called Jason who called me. What were you doing on the middle on the pond?" She asked more concerned that he might be purposely trying to hurt himself.

"I was texting Molly and just kept walking and when I stopped I was on the middle. Then Claudia came and saved me. Mom it's all my fault." He cried into her shoulder.

"What's your fault?" She didn't know of Claudia's current situation, Jason was getting that from Sonny.

"Claudia and the baby may both die." Carly gathered him in her lap, like a little kid, and rocked him.

"It's okay Morgan. I'm sure everything will work out okay."

XOXOXOXO

"Sonny we have to give her the medicine now, or she's going to have a stroke." Dr. Lee told him as he watched her, hoping for one sign that she was waking up.
