"Alright. If you will just hand the baby over, I'll get Patrick to have a look at her." Robin said holding her arms out.
Harry and Ron went to Carly's house looking for Jerry, but without luck on their side, he was already gone.
"Where to now, Harry?" Ron asked solemnly.
"Let's go back to the hospital to see if the girls have had any progress on the antidote." Harry suggested.
Ginny, Dillon, Lulu, Spinelli, Milo and Hermione arrived at the hospital the same time that Ron and Harry did. Draco also decided it would be best to go back there to check on the baby.
"Hey, why aren't you girls in a lab." Ron asked.
"We ran into these guys. We decided that it would be best to get out of the hospital before something really, really bad happened." Hermione shrugged.
"I thought you were supposed to make the antidote." Harry said.
"They didn't need to. Two of the doctors already found the cure. I brought the baby back to her this morning." Draco interrupted.
"How did you manage that?" Ginny asked.
"That's a long story. We don't have time for it right now."
"Do you know what room she's in Draco?" Ginny asked.
"Room twenty-four. It's down the winding corridor." Draco said gesturing toward the corridor.
"Well? Let's get going." Ron said leading them down the corridors.
Patrick had given Erin a clean bill of health, Noah attempted to get the day off, but –even though Monica agreed-Dr. Ford told him no. So anytime that he didn't have a patient to look after, he was in my room.
"How are you feeling?" Noah asked. Striding into the room.
"I'm bored just lying here in this bad. When am I going to get discharged?" I said.
"When Patrick and I think that you are fit enough to go home." Noah sighed.
"When do you that will be?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Probably after my shift is over. So that I can help you get your stuff from the Metro Court." He said.
"Noah, is your place going to be big enough?" I questioned.
"Probably. I spend most of my time at the hospital, so I've never really considered it." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Now's the time to think about it. The apartment has to be baby proofed. You never thought of that, did you?"
"Alright, so we probably need to get a bigger place." He admitted.
"For now, Erin and I will stay at the Metro Court. When we are both able to take some time off, we'll look for a bigger place." I said.
"We'll look for a house. It's bigger than an apartment. Erin can have plenty of space to run around. And, if they want to, Patrick and Robin can visit, maybe stay over." Noah said, hugging me.
"It's a good idea. Patrick may not be too keen on it though." I laughed.
"Yeah, but Robin's been trying to get him to forgive me since we moved back to Port Charles." Noah sighed.
"Just give him time. He'll get over whatever it is that's bothering him. Let him come to you." I said.
"You are right. As usual." He laughed, and then added, "What's going to happen to Erin when you return to work since no one can get a hold of Pete?"
"I'll have to hire a nanny." I sighed.
Robin, Emily, Nikolas and Patrick walked into the room.
"Instead of staying at the Metro Court, why don't you stay at Wymdimere?" Nikolas suggested.
"Nikolas, that's very generous, but I would feel like I'm taking advantage of the situation…and of you." I said.
"It's the least I could do after you risked everything to save my life. And don't worry about Erin while you are at work, Lucia would be glad to have a little girl to watch. Besides, Spencer's not a baby anymore, he's a toddler. And I think he could use a friend, even if she id too young to talk, or even sit up by herself." Nikolas laughed.
It started as a laugh, but it turned into tears of happiness, from me.
"I can't believe that I have friends like this. I never would have thought to ever find friends. Now I have the best friends that a girl could ask for." I cried. Noah pulled me closer and held on tight.
"Why don't Emily and I take Erin back to Wyndimere, where she can get settled in?" Nikolas suggested, walking over to the bed to take the sleeping baby out of my arms.
Before he left Ginny, Dillon, Lulu, Spinelli, Milo, Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Draco busted into the room.
"Draco, thank you for bringing my pride and joy back to me." I said, wiping tears from my cheeks.
"Why don't we all go to Wyndimere and make a day of it." Nikolas suggested.
"That's a good idea. I'll get the discharge papers. With Emily and Robin going to be there, they'll keep an eye on her." Patrick said walking toward the door.
"Patrick, I want to thank you for everything that you've done for me." I said, still sniffling a little bit.
"That's what friends are for. Besides, I know how hard you worked to get this far. You worked yourself through medical school. And you still managed to get into the top three percentile." Patrick smiled.
Patrick left to get the paperwork started for me to be discharged, so that I could go and get my stuff --and Erin's-- from the Metro Court. Unbeknownst to the rest of us, though, Patrick decided to give Pete a call. Pete had plans with Georgie, but Patrick told him to bring her along. "The more the merrier." He had said.
