"We need some help!" Carly yelled, following Jason off the elevator. The gurney was immediately brought over and Jason carefully laid Claudia on it. Kelly rushed over from the nurse's station.

"What happened?"

"We found her collapsed on the floor, bleeding." Carly explained. Kelly then made a face Carly had only seen once. It was a look of fear, the only other time she had seen it was when Carly told her that she was not terminating Courtney.

"Call Sonny Corinthos, ASAP!" Kelly told Epiphany.

"No, don't call him. Kelly it'll be better if Claudia doesn't wake up to Sonny in the room. Please don't call him."

"Put down the phone, Epiphany."

"But that's against-"

"Protocol, I know. Dr. Webber can take it up with me if he has a problem with it. Now are you going to stand there and argue with me or help me stabilize her." Kelly asked. Epiphany was by the gurney shouting out orders in five seconds at most. Carly rushed after them, while Jason walked steadily, until her heard Courtney call out to him.

"Uncle Jason!" He turned around to see Carina frozen, tears streaming down her face. He went over to his two god-daughters and picked them up.

"It's going to be okay, I promise."


Carly, Jason, and the two girls stood outside Claudia's room, waiting for Kelly to come out and tell them what was going on. Courtney was hugging her best friend like there was no tomorrow, because she knew Carina was scared. Carly was trying to peak inside the room, but had not succeeded yet.

"Jase, what if she loses the baby? She'll lose it if that baby dies." Carly whispered trying not to let the girls hear her.

"You'll help her through it, look I'm going to take the girls down to the cafeteria and Sam and Sonny. I'll wait for a while to call Sonny, but he has to be told."

"Fine." She kneeled down in front of the two girls. "Uncle Jason is going to take you to get some food. Be good girls, okay?" She kissed both of their heads before Jason took them away. When Kelly walked out of the room, blood coated her scrubs and inwardly Carly already knew what happened.

"She lost the baby, there was no possible way to save him. Do you want me to call Sonny?"

"No, he didn't know, she didn't tell him. Can I go sit with her?"

"Yes, you may. She should wake up soon, she didn't go into shock."

"Thanks, Kelly." Carly said as she walked away.

When she walked into the room it was dark and gloomy. Claudia's face was pale and distorted making it look like she was in pain. Carly didn't know if she could bring herself to sit next to her and hold her hand. She didn't know if she could tell one of her best friends that everything was going to be okay, when in reality she had no clue if it truly was going to be okay. Lastly, she didn't know how she was going to break it to Claudia that not only had she lost her husband, but her baby was gone too. The task seemed daring and Carly didn't know if she should just leave. She just couldn't do that, Sam would soon be here and she could help. Both of them would help Claudia.

What if that wasn't even possible anymore?


Jason watched as Courtney ate her dinner, while Carina just picked at hers. He looked at the door every few minutes waiting for Sam to arrive and help him explain to Carina that her mom was going to be okay. He didn't even know how to tell Sam that her best friend lost another baby. But then he saw her walk into the room and everything felt just a bit better. Carina saw her too, because in a matter of seconds she was on her feet running to Sam.

"Hey, angel." Sam told her, picking her up and holding her close.

"Aunt Sam, I'm glad you're here." Sam carried her over to where Jason and Courtney were seated. She sat Carina down.

"Girls, me and Uncle Jason will be right over there. Just holler if you need us." Sam told them, pulling Jason to another table. "I need you to tell me what's going on. I've been on a case for three days and it seems like our lives are crashing down around us."

"That's pretty much a true statement, at least in Claudia's case."

"What do you mean? What happened? Is she hurt?"

"Sonny and her split up today, they're getting a divorce. Then there's the fact that she just had a miscarriage."

"When did she find out she was pregnant?"

"Today."

"God, Jase, she's going to be a wreck. Who's with her right now? She needs somebody with her."

"Carly is, but I think you need to be in there when she wakes up, too." Jason told her. She kissed his cheek before getting up.

"That's where I'm going to go. Take care of the girls." All she saw was Jason nod, before she left.


She took note of how dark and gloomy the room was the second she stepped into it. She could tell that Carly had been crying, but she was maintaining them. Sam walked over and put a hand on her shoulder, making her jump.

"Sam, thank God, you're here. Everything's messed up. You finished your case right?"

"Yeah, and I don't think I'll be taking any more of them for awhile. She wake up yet?"

"She's barely moved in her sleep. I don't know what's taking her so long."

"Maybe she doesn't want to wake up and face another nightmare."

"Maybe, but she would make me feel five times better if she just woke up. Sam, she's been a wreck. Sonny called Carina and Izzie mistakes."

"That son of a bitch, I didn't know he could go that low. She's got us though and Carina and Izzie." Just as Sam said that, Claudia's eyes flickered open. She looked around the room.

"Where am I?" She asked tiredly. Sam and Carly grabbed one of her hands, squeezing it lightly.

"You're at the hospital." Carly informed her. She shot straight up in her bed.

"The baby?" Carly and Sam looked down at the floor, trying not to make contact with her eyes. This just made Claudia more upset. "Carly, did I lose the baby?"

"I'm so sorry Claws." The water works immediately started, tears flowed out of Claudia's eyes. Sam sat on the bed and hugged her until she stopped crying.


Sonny walked into the cafeteria having no clue why he was here. Jason had just randomly called him and told him that he needed to come quickly. He just hoped nothing was wrong with Carina and when he saw her he knew she was okay. When she looked up and saw him, her big dimpled smile came out. She got out of her seat and ran into his open arms.

"Daddy!" The girl exclaimed, it had only been about ten hours since she saw him last, but it had felt like much longer to her.

"Hey, angel. How are you?"

"I'm fine, but mommy isn't." Sonny shot a look at Jason, wondering what was wrong with Claudia.

"Sweetheart go and play with Courtney. Uncle Jason and I have to talk." Carina trudged back over to the table while Jason walked over to Sonny.

"Your wife was pregnant, and she just had a miscarriage. Room 616." Jason told him. Sonny took off toward the elevators. Jason then felt a tug on his pant leg. He looked down to see Carina and Courtney.

"Carina wants to know if we can go see Aunt Claudia?" Jason kneeled down to their level.

"We'll go in a little bit, we need to give her and Uncle Sonny some time."

Both of the girls silently nodded.


All three girls were crying when Sonny walked into the room; they all glared at him. He noticed how pale she looked, but it still didn't change the fact that he was angry at her. He just couldn't help it.

"I need to speak with Claudia, alone." Carly and Sam stood up in front of Claudia's bed, blocking his view of her.

"No way in hell, Sonny. What right do you have to talk to her?" Sam told him, glaring at him.

"I'm with Sam on this one. You're being a bastard and Claudia doesn't need that." Carly told him.

"Guys, it's okay. I think I can handle one conversation with him." Claudia told them. Carly and Sam still stood there for a bit, but then decided it was better to just go.

There was an awkward silence that followed after the girls left. He knew since he was the one that wanted to talk to her, he should be the first to speak. But now that they were alone, he couldn't speak. It felt like he hadn't seen her in years, not just a few hours. Her eyes were so unforgiving toward him, he knew he deserved it even though he didn't want to.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He finally asked. Claudia expressed a shocked look.

"What did you just say to me?"

"I asked why you didn't tell me."

"No I heard you, but that's the first thing you ask me. I just lost our child, our little baby and that's what you ask me."

"I'm sorry but I just don't understand how you couldn't of told me something this important."

"Because I found out this morning. Do you remember this morning? Well let me jog your memory just in case. This morning you told me that our children were mistakes, so I thought it may not be the best time to tell."

"If you would've told me I wouldn't of said anything-"

"And then live with a man who didn't love me anymore?! I did that at the beginning of our marriage, I wasn't going to go through that hell again."

"If you would've stayed the baby would still be alive."

"Why? Because you would've will him to? No Sonny, it doesn't work that way. My miscarriage was caused by stress. Stress caused by you."

"Where do you get off blaming me?"

"Where do I get off?!! I was forced with the idea of being pregnant and being a single mother in a matter of hours. Plus the fact that my husband didn't love me anymore. You don't think that was stressful to feel all alone. The way I haven't felt since I was a little girl, living with my father. You know what? Why do I even bother? Just get the hell out and don't come back!"

* * * * * *

Jason, Carina, and Courtney stepped out of the elevator and went toward Claudia's room. Courtney ran to her mother, and Carly immediately picked her up. Sam grabbed Carina.

"Where's Sonny?" Jason asked. Both Carly and Sam pointed to Claudia's room. Jason knew it couldn't be good, so he put his ear up against the door, to hear if they were fighting.

* * * * * *

"I'm not finished." Sonny told her.

"Well I am and I'm tired so get the hell out!" Claudia screamed. At this point Jason opened the door.

"Sonny, she said she was done, get out."

"Jason, I'm not done speaking with her."

"Come on, man. Where's the respect you should show for your child and his or her mother. Come on Sonny, she's tired. Get out." Sonny finally stepped out of her room.

"Thanks, Jason." She called out.

"He didn't have the right to do that, no matter the circumstances. Do you want to see your daughter?"

"Yes, please. Also please take Sam, Carly, and Courtney home, they need sleep." She told him, he just nodded before walking out the door.

Jason was kind of ticked by the fact that Sonny was still standing there, holding his daughter. He had caused his fiancée and Carly's best friend pain and Jason didn't like that. Carly and Sam immediately ran toward Claudia's room, but Jason stopped them.

"She wants you guys to go home, the only one she wants right now is Carina." Jason told them, watching as Carina jumped out of her father's arms and into her mother's room. As Jason, Sam, Carly, and Courtney were leaving they noticed that Sonny wasn't.

"Sonny." Carly called out.

"I'm not going to cause any problems, I just want to be here."

Carly and Sam looked at Jason, who shrugged and finally decided it was okay. He ushered the girls to the elevators. Once Sonny saw that they were gone, he slid down the wall, head in his hands. Claudia was right, like she always was, he had caused this. He had stressed her out so badly that she had a miscarriage.

* * * * * *

Carina held onto her mother tightly, lying in the bed with her. Claudia held her little girl, kissing her head softly.

"Mommy, I was so scared for you. I think Uncle Jason was even scared." That made Claudia laugh.

"I'm okay, baby, and whenever I'm released we'll go back to the Metro Court."

"Do you think that maybe we could look at getting a house? I love being right next door to Courtney, but I don't like staying at the Metro Court."

"I guess we can look, I'll try to look okay. Right now, though, we both need to sleep. So goodnight."

"Goodnight mommy."
