The sun had only been up for an hour as Bianca walked into the hospital. She hadn't gotten a lot of sleep the night before, between worrying about Kendall and her body still being on Paris time. Finally, at 6:30, she gave up and got out of bed. She sipped on her coffee as she walked through the empty hallways.

She found her way to Kendall's room and stopped, looking through the window. She smiled as she watched Zach and Kendall, asleep in each other's arms.

"They've been like that most of the night." Bianca turned and smiled at Jamie. "We had to wake them a few hours ago so that Kendall could feed the baby, but they immediately fell back asleep when we wheeled him out."

"He go back up the nursery?"

"Yeah, for a little while, anyway. Grandpa thought they could use some uninterrupted sleep and they've got to run some tests before he gets discharged. Heard about what Ryan's doing."

Bianca nodded. "Yeah, but Uncle Jack got Zach and Kendall temporary emergency custody so that they get to take him home today, so that's something." Jamie just nodded. Jamie hitched his thumb over his shoulder. "Well, I've got to get to rounds before classes this morning, so…"

"Yeah, go ahead." As Jamie walked away, Bianca yelled back at him. "Hey Jamie?" He turned over his shoulder and looked at her. "Thanks for watching them overnight."

"Anytime, Bianca."

She looked through the window one more time and decided to give them a little more time before waking them up. She figured a doctor would be prodding Kendall soon enough. She dropped her empty cup in a garbage can and headed toward the nursery.

As she rounded the corner, her blood started to boil as she saw him staring through the window. She stormed up to him and shoved him for all she was worth, sending him stumbling backwards.

"What the... Bianca?"

"Yeah, you son of a bitch. What the hell do you think you are doing?"

Ryan pushed himself off the ground. "Visiting my son before I head to the office, since I hear that he's going home with his mother today."

"Ryan, why are you doing this? I know that if you would just take a step back and sit down and talk to Kendall that you two could work something out. Why do this?"

"Because my son isn't sharing a home with that… Cambias monster."

She really wished that she had something to throw at him right now. "Jackass. So, what, anyone related to the Cambias family is… what, automatically a monster? What does that make Miranda? Or Ethan, since I thought he was your friend!"

"Miranda and Ethan are different than Alex Jr."

"How?"

"They just are, Bianca. Miranda's got you, Ethan had the Ramsey's, they got out."

"So did Zach."

"No he didn't. He may talk a big game, but in the end, he's playing us, just like the old man did."

"Ryan, you have got to stop this. You have…"

"Bianca, you don't know the havoc he's caused. He's the reason this baby is part me and Kendall instead of part me and Greenlee. Did you know that?"

"Ryan, I know all about it. I may live in Paris, but I do talk to my sister periodically and, let me tell you what, when it came right down to it, she hated you more for the whole reveal than Zach for actually doing it."

"He drove Greenlee away and now he's trying to steal my family right from under my nose so that he can make some sort of amends for how badly he treated Ethan, and I'm not going to let that happen. He doesn't get to have my son to make up for screwing Ethan over."

"So, what? You're going to destroy Kendall in the process? Shatter her heart into a million pieces just so that you can get a leg up on Zach?"

Ryan looked back through the window, staring at the baby. "She brought this on herself, Bianca. She shouldn't have…"

"What? She shouldn't have decided to be happy, to have a life, to have love? What?"

"She just shouldn't have. She's got no one to blame but herself." Ryan looked at his watch. "I've got to go. See you." He took off before she could say another word.

Bianca just shook her head and looked into the nursery. She laid eyes on her nephew and she smiled. She decided right there that she was going to do everything in her power to help her sister and Zach have what they deserved. She looked at the baby again, closely this time and something seemed… off. She wasn't sure, but she knew better than to not trust her instincts.

She nodded at the little boy and blew him a kiss before heading off to Kendall's room.
