Soo One Life to Live and All My Children are being canceled. I find that just too funny.

Before entering the empty home, Antonio and Jesse could already hear a baby crying. With his paternal instincts kicking in, Antonio knew they found the right place. Opening the door, Antonio, Jesse, and S.W.A.T. were met by Harmon, Chamberlain, and the other two unnamed men. Chamberlain held the baby girl in his arms. She was naked and without even a blanket to keep her warm. The baby screamed and squirmed in protest. She definitely had her mother's spirit. Both good guys and bad guys pointed weapons at each other, except Chamberlain. "Hand the baby over!" Jesse demanded.

Chamberlain smiled. "We were going to use her to lure Vega to us, but now that you're here you can watch as I snap her neck." He taunted.

Antonio focused his weapon on the man holding his daughter. Nothing else mattered at the moment. He had to get his little girl into his arms alive and safe. "You'll be dead before you can even get your hands around her neck." He threatened. He wanted nothing more to kill them himself. They caused him and his family so much pain. He wanted to shoot them for himself, his mother, Cris, Sarah, Layla, Emma, but most of all he'd do his for Talia and his daughters.

Harmon laughed. "Are you really going to shoot him with your daughter in his arms, Vega?"

Out of nowhere, Chamberlain felt something hard against his head. "He doesn't have to, I will." A voice said from behind. Antonio looked behind him and saw John standing there with a gun to Chamberlain's head. When did he get there?

"Give me my daughter." Antonio demanded.

"This isn't going to end well, unless you hand over the baby and everyone puts down their weapons." Jesse said.

There was no way Harmon was giving up. He knew he was fighting a losing battle, but that didn't stop him from turning his body and weapon toward Chamberlain and John, attempting to shoot John. Jesse acted quickly and shot Harmon. He fell to the ground as the bulled pierced his neck. No way he survived. Chamberlain's remaining companions dropped there weapons and allowed themselves to be taken into custody. They did not sign on to die. Chamberlain knew he had to cut his losses. He stepped toward Antonio and handed the baby over to him. John cuffed him and handed him over to Jesse. Antonio quickly took his vest and jacket off and used the jacket to wrap his daughter in. The baby instantly quieted down. Antonio turned to Jesse and Chamberlain. "Where is Talia?" he asked, angrily.

Before he could answer, they heard someone else's voice. "Antonio! Get in here!" He knew that voice. Bo was here too.

Antonio and John sprinted towards Bo's voice. What they found when they entered the next room was a gruesome sight. Talia's stomach was cut open and there was blood all over and around her. She was unconscious. Antonio froze. He knew how his baby girl came into the world.

John didn't think twice before calling for an ambulance and running over to Talia's aid. Antonio snapped out of his daze and also ran to Talia's side. "Is she alive?" he asked in almost a whisper.

"Barely." Bo answered as he and John put pressure on Talia's stomach, trying in vain to stop the bleeding.

The little baby in Antonio's arms started fussing, but Antonio didn't notice. He just watched as Bo and John tried to save his girlfriend's life.

Jesse came running in. "Oh my God." He said when he saw the stated that Talia was in. "Ambulance should be here soon."

Bo nodded. "Talia, can you hear me?" he tried getting her attention. "Come on, Talia, open your eyes." Talia didn't even stir.

"Come on, Honey. Come back to us. Open your eyes. You can't leave us. Our daughters need their mother." Antonio begged as he allowed tears to fall.

"Make room!" a paramedic ordered as he and a few others rushed in. "We're going to scoop and run." He said as he and his colleagues gathered Talia onto the stretcher.

Another team of paramedics ran in. "Let me take the baby." The female paramedic said. Antonio looked down at his daughter, not wanting to let her go. "I'll take good care of her." she assured him.

Antonio, reluctantly, handed the baby over to her and watched them walk out the door. Bo and Jesse followed, leaving Antonio and John alone. "John, can you stay with her?" he asked.

John nodded. "No, go with her," he said.

"I need to do something, first." He said.

John wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what Antonio needed to do. "Come on, Man, don't be stupid."

"Look what they did to Talia, John!" he yelled. "They should pay!"

John nodded. He wasn't about to let his friend do something that can ruin his life, especially since he wasn't thinking clearly. "Killing or beating the crap out of Chamberlain won't change what he did to Talia. The only thing it will do is cost you your badge and possibly your freedom. What happens to Talia and your kids then? They need you Antonio." He insisted. "Talia needs you to be strong for her."

Antonio hated to admit it, but he was right. Without saying a word, Antonio walked away.


Everyone met at the hospital. They didn't have much information, just that Talia was hurt and the baby was born. Krystal and Layla signed themselves out AMA to stay with everyone else. Krystal, Layla, Carlotta, and Sarah sat in chairs, while Emma, Cris, Tad, and Ryan stood up. Jamie stayed with Greenlee. Angie, Jake, Frankie, and a bunch of nurses stood at the nurses' station waiting for Talia and the baby to arrive. The hospital door flew open and paramedic's rushed Talia and the baby in. "Take her straight to the O.R. Frankie once you finish with the baby, meet us up there." Angie directed. "Don't bother typing her blood, we need O neg, stat!" She ordered.

Emma took one look at her sister and broke down into tears. She leaned against the wall, before sinking to the floor. She pulled her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, no matter how much her shoulder hurt. Cris joined Emma on the floor and wrapped his arms around the hysterical teen. Sarah and Layla put their arms around each other, comforting each other as they cried for their friend. Tad, Krystal, and Ryan looked on in shock as Angie, Jake and the nurses disappeared with Talia. Carlotta stood up when she saw Antonio, John, and Bo enter. "John, Bo, when did you get here?"

"Just a little while ago. We came as soon as Jesse filled us in on the situation." Bo answered.

Carlotta nodded and looked at her son. He looked like he wasn't all there, like he was in a daze. He didn't even register at first when his mother put her arms around him. "Talia is a tough girl, Mijo. She'll make it." She assured him.

"I can't lose her, Mami." He said.

"You wont." She insisted. "Do you have a name for my granddaughter?" she asked.

"Talia likes the name Rosalinda." He answered with a smile, after he pulled away.

Carlotta smiled. "Then Rosalinda it is." She said. "What a beautiful name, Mijo."


Hours went by and there was no word on Talia. Baby Rosalinda was given a clean bill of health and she was dressed and sleeping in her Popi's arms. Antonio looked down at his daughter. She was beautiful, but it was too early to tell whom she looked like. As he watched his daughter, he prayed. He prayed that Talia would get to hold their precious daughter. Emma cried herself to sleep in Cris' arms. She had taken a painkiller just minutes before being told that Talia was found. Everyone else just sat there without a word and waited from Angie to come back and gave them news. Right now, no news was good news. It meant that Talia was still alive.

Sarah looked down at Cris and Emma. "How's she doing?" she asked.

"Still sleeping, Thank God." He answered.

Sarah smiled down at them. Not too long later Angie appeared and everyone except Cris and Emma stood up. "How is she?" Antonio asked.

Angie smiled. "As long as she rests for the next month, she'll be fine. I'm sorry to say that we couldn't save her uterus. We had to do a hysterectomy." She told them.

That didn't bother Antonio; atleast Talia was alive. They didn't need anymore kids. Talia already gave him a beautiful baby girl, plus they had Jamie. "Can I see her?" he asked.

Angie nodded. "Go, and take that little angel with you." She said. "Everyone else needs to stay here. Once she wakes up, you can go in two at a time." She told them.


Antonio walked into Talia's room. She was still out, pale, and hooked up to wires, but she was still beautiful. Antonio sat in the nearest chair and held Talia's hand. "I'm going to be here when you wake up, Talia. Rosalie is beautiful. You should wake up and see her." he said. He didn't know if she could hear him, but he kept talking. He looked between Rosalinda and Talia. If Jamie were here then he'd have all his girls with him. For now, he was just going to sit with Talia until she woke up. And he knew she was going to wake up.

Like I was really gonna kill off Talia. The show already broke my heart by doing that.
