"Jules, he's beautiful." Roger smiled looking down at his son.
"Yeah, he looks just like you." she smiled caressing the baby's cheek.
"No way. He's his beautiful mama through and through." Roger smiled leaning down to kiss Jules' head.
"He's perfect." she smiled as the baby slept in her arms.
"Knock knock. Are you ready for visitors Babygirl?" Collins asked opening the door quietly.
"Yeah, come on in you guys." she smiled looking up at them.
"Look at him. He's an angel." Collins smiled looking down at the baby.
"He looks just like Roger. Don't you think?" she asked smiling up at him.
"Yeah Babygirl. He looks just like his handsome rock star daddy." he smiled looking over at her.
"My little Mark Collin Davis." she smiled looking down at her.
"Did your doctor take a blood test yet?" he asked looking down at her.
"Yeah,.he said he's be in with the results as soon as he gets them. He said he was gonna expedite them for me." she said looking up at him.
"Babygirl, you're gonna be fine. Trust me. I have a feeling for these things." he smiled looking down at her.
"I hope so Collins. I don't want to leave Beth and this little guy here." she said looking back down at the baby.
"Jules don't talk like that. You're gonna be fine. You have to believe that." Roger said looking over at her.
"I want to Roger. I really do." she told him holding back tears.
"Is this a private party, or can anyone crash?" Maureen asked looking in on them.
"Come on in sweetie. We were just admiring the newest Davis male in the family." Jules smiled looking up at her.
"He is gorgeous Jules. He looks just like Roger." Joanne smiled looking down at him.
"I told you Baby." she smiled looking over at Roger.
"It's only my face, how would I know?" he smiled looking over at her.
"It's OK Baby. At least you're pretty." she laughed looking over at him.
"I'll give you pretty." he smiled leaning in to kiss her neck.
"Guys, you just had a baby. Relax a little bit before you start on the next one, OK?" Maureen taunted looking over at them.
"Sorry Maureen." Jules smiled looking up at her as Roger caressed her sweaty head. "I need a shower." she said looking over at them.
"Do you want me to take the baby? Collins help my girl up." Roger smiled reaching over for the baby.
"Yeah well, I'm gonna need one once Uncle Mark gets here. He's gonna be relentless with filming." she smiled as Roger took the baby from her and Collins helped her up out of the bed.
"I gotcha Babygirl. I'm not gonna let you fall." he told her wrapping his arms around her back and helping her up.
"I know you won't sweetie." she smiled looking up at him as he helped her to the bathroom.
"Did the doctor come in yet? What did he say?" Collins asked coming into the room bringing Roger coffee.
"It's not good." Jules told him as Roger stood by the window with his back to them.
"I'm so sorry Babygirl." he said sitting next to her holding back tears.
"Roger, please come over here." she pleaded as tears escaped her eyes.
"I need to go for a walk. I'll be back in a little while Baby." he said quietly before leaning down to kiss her head.
"Roger, please don't run away from me this time." she cried taking a hold of his arm.
"Jules, I just need to go out and clear my head. I'll be back in a little while. I promise." he said looking down at her. His eyes were blood shot from crying and his nose was red.
"Roger Baby, please don't go." she pleaded looking up at him.
"I'm not leaving you Jules. I promise. I just need to go out for a walk. I'll be back. I just need to get some fresh air. I love you." he whispered leaning down kissing her lips before leaving the room.
"Collins, please. You have to go after him. I'm afraid of what he's gonna do." she cried looking up at him.
"I'm on it Babygirl. Are you OK to be here alone?" he asked holding her hand tight.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just please look out for my husband, OK? He shouldn't be alone. He does really stupid things when he's alone." she cried as he got up and leaned down to kiss her head.
"I got him Babygirl. I love you." he whispered as a tear fell from his eyes.
"I love you too Collins." she whispered as he left the room.
"Rog man, wait up." he called out quietly as Roger stood by the elevator.
"I know you mean well man, but I just need to be alone for a little while, OK?" he told him looking down at his feet.
"I don't think it's such a good idea that you're alone man. You just found out your wife is sick. You're liable to do something you'll regret." Collins said standing next to him.
"How am I supposed to react Collins? I can't let her see me fall apart like this. I know I swore to her I wouldn't hide anything from her, but I also swore to her I would take care of her and I let her get pregnant again and because of it she's dying." he cried looking up at him.
"You know as well as I do, Babygirl can take care of herself. She went through with this pregnancy even though her life was on the line because of the love you two have for each other. Your kid needed to be born. And look at him. He's the cutest little bugger I've ever seen. He's her gift to you. To all of us. It's what she wanted." he said putting his arm around his shoulder.
"But at the risk of losing her?" he asked crying into his shoulder.
"She is the love of your life. 10 years didn't change that, what makes you think death is gonna?" he asked comforting his friend.
"How am I gonna live without her Collins?" he asked looking up at him.
"You're not gonna have to find out. You have those 2 beautiful kids to bring her to you whenever you need her. But you gotta get your scrawny butt back in there and be there for your wife while she's here." he said looking down at him.
"How am I gonna raise the kids without her?" he asked looking up at him.
"With a lot of help." he smiled looking down at him.
"Thanks man." Roger said looking up at him wiping his eyes with his sleeve.
"Don't thank me man. Just get in to your wife. She's worried sick about you." he said looking down at him.
"What does she think I'm gonna do?" he asked looking up at him.
"I don't think she even knows. All she thinks is, you're gonna do something stupid." he said looking down at him.
"I just needed fresh air. I can't believe she's sick Collins." he said looking up at him.
"I know man. Me neither. But she is and we have to make the best of the time she has left. We owe her that." he said looking down at him.
"You're right. She deserves the best we got." he said looking up at him.
"She sure does." he smiled before they started back to Jules' room.
"Hey Baby. I'm sorry for the way I've been acting." Roger said entering the room.
"I understand how you feel Roger. Don't apologize. You just love me and don't want to lose me. But we always knew this day would come." she cried looking up at him.
"Yeah but, I didn't want it to happen like this. We have a new baby." he cried sitting on the bed next to her.
"It's not his fault Roger. I don't want you resenting him." she said looking up at him.
"Of course it's not his fault Baby. He's an innocent baby. He's our son. I love him more than anything on the planet. He's right up there with you and Beth." he cried leaning down to kiss her head.
