Saturday in Florida...

"Come on Toby...You have to remember me somehow." Ashley said seriously as she looked into Toby's eyes.

"Wait...I think I'm starting to remember...You're...Ashley...Ashley Jergens." Toby said weakly as he grabbed Ashley's right hand with his.

"Yes! That's right! What else do you remember?" Ashley said excited and then intrigued.

"I...remember that you're my girlfriend...and I love you very much." Toby said honestly as he smiled.

"Aww...I love you too Toby!" Ashley said happily and she gave Toby a short kiss.

"Ha ha ha...I got you." Toby said as he grinned.

"What are you talking about? Ashley said confused.

"I never forgot who you were...Just wanted to pull a little prank on you." Toby said nicely.

"Are you kidding me? The doctor had me worried sick about you this entire week!" Ashley said surprised.

"Sorry but you probably would have done the same thing to me." Toby said kindly.

"Heh...Yeah...I probably would have...Thank goodness you're ok now...But do you know who did this to you?" Ashley said seriously.

"I have no idea...It happened so fast and I think they put a mask or something over my head so I couldn't see." Toby said concerned.

"That's terrible...The important thing is you're ok now and we can get back to our normal lives." Ashley said honestly.

"You're right and thank you for staying by my side through all this Ash...I know it wasn't easy." Toby said kindly.

"I would do anything for you, Toby." Ashley said sweetly and she hugged Toby.

Meanwhile in California...

"Thank you for coming Amy...We've been here all day waiting for Lauren to wake up." Madison said kindly.

"Yeah...How has she been doing?" Amy said sadly.

"Not sure...Dante is with her now...Maybe you should talk to her." Madison said seriously.

"You should go talk to her, Amy." Ben said honestly.

"I'll try." Amy said after she took a deep breath and walked down a hallway to Lauren's room.

"How long has she been unconscious?" Ben said intrigued as she looked at Madison.

"It's been three days...But the surgery went well which is a good sign...How are you doing Ben?" Madison said concerned and then nicely.

"That is good about the surgery...I've been doing all right...It breaks my heart to see Amy go through so much pain lately...First she lost Mimsy, and then Toby got hurt, and now Lauren...I don't understand why this keeps happening to us." Ben said honestly as his eyes got watery.

"I know what you mean...It's been a hard year on all of us...But hopefully everything will work out for the best...How's Hudson?" Madison said sadly and then curiously.

"Yeah...Hudson is pretty nice...But I don't want to talk about it right now." Ben said as he looked at the ground.

"What's wrong Ben?" Madison said confused.

"This...this is the same hospital that...Mercy was born in." Ben said quietly as tears started to run down his face.

"Oh yeah...I am so sorry...Adrian's here if you want to talk to her." Madison said sincerely.

"No...I'll be-" Ben said seriously and he started to cry more.

"Ben! Are you all right?" Adrian said concerned as she walked by Ben.

"Hi Adrian...I'm horrible." Ben said through his tears.

"Uh...I'll see you guys later." Madison said awkwardly and she walked out of the waiting room.

"Me too...It feels weird to be in this hospital again." Adrian said sadly as she sat next to Ben.

"How...how can you be so calm right now?" Ben said confused after he wiped his eyes.

"Because I'm strong and I know that Mercy is watching over us...Everything is going to be ok." Adrian said honestly as she hugged Ben.

"Thank you Adrian...I've missed you." Ben said seriously as he hugged Adrian tighter.

"Anytime Ben...I'm always here for you." Adrian said nicely as she rubbed Ben's back.

Meanwhile in Lauren's room...

"I don't know what to do, Amy...She just won't respond." Dante said sadly.

"Do you want me to try talking to her?" Amy said intrigued.

"It's worth a shot...I need to get some water...Let me know if she wakes up." Dante said seriously and he walked out of the room.

"Hey Lauren...It's Amy...One of your best friends...Heh...I really hope you wake up soon...We all really want you to...And I wish this didn't happen to you because you didn't deserve it...If anyone deserves it, it's me." Amy said honestly.

"And why would you deserve to get shot?" Ricky said intrigued from the door way.

"Ricky! What are you doing here?" Amy said surprised.

"Ben let me know you two would be here this morning and John is with your dad...So what's going on?" Ricky said seriously as he walked closer to Amy.

"Well...I've been...having dreams about you again." Amy said quietly.

"What kind of dreams?" Ricky said suspiciously.

"I...can't talk to you about this." Amy said sadly as she looked down.

"Yes you can...Tell me what's wrong." Ricky said nicely as he put some hair behind Amy's right ear.

"What...what are you doing?" Amy said surprised as she took a step back.

"Relax Amy...I'm just trying to help you feel more comfortable." Ricky said kindly.

"But...you can't just put hair behind my ear like...like we're together or something." Amy said a little irritated.

"That's not what I was-" Ricky said defensively.

"Forget it...I don't have time for this." Amy said annoyed and she walked out of Lauren's room.

"Unbelievable...What is wrong with her?" Ricky said in a frustrated tone as he rolled his eyes and he walked out of the room.

Meanwhile at church...

Jack was sitting in a pew and praying when Grace sat next to him.

"Hey Jack...How are you?" Grace said nicely.

"Grace! What are you doing here?" Jack said confused.

"I just needed to come here and clear my head...It's been a rough week with Lauren getting hurt and Kathy." Grace said honestly.

"Yeah...I feel so terrible for Lauren...And what happened to Kathy?" Jack said seriously.

"Kathy had oral with that Chase guy and...she came in for an STD test the other day...But I won't know the results until Monday." Grace said concerned.

"Heh...That sounds familiar...You remember when we tried that?" Jack said as he smirked.

"Don't even go there...Plus we're in church...You're disgusting." Grace said irritated as she rolled her eyes.

"Come on...You know you enjoyed it." Jack said nicely.

"You are so full of yourself...How's Chloe by the way?" Grace said annoyed and then intrigued.

"And you are so judgmental...Chloe's doing pretty well but one of your ex boyfriends hurt me because he thinks I'm after Clementine." Jack said honestly.

"You started it...Let me guess...Daniel punched you? Grant's too big of a nerd to do that and Adrian told me." Grace said seriously and then sarcastically.

"Ha ha ha...Guess that's why you liked Grant...But Daniel is a jerk...Clementine could do way better." Jack said smiling and then concerned.

"Are you trying to call me a nerd? I guess Daniel isn't perfect but who is?" Grace said confused and then honestly.

"Of course not...And you're perfect to me." Jack said kindly as he looked deeply into Grace's eyes.

"Uh...Jack...You know there is no way we could ever get back together." Grace said nervously.

"You haven't at least thought about it? Chloe and Clementine have been stressing me out but when I'm with you, I feel at peace." Jack said nicely.

"You need to wake up and smell the coffee...We were over a long time ago...And I gotta go." Grace said seriously as she stood up.

"Just give me one more chance...Please Grace...I'm begging you." Jack said concerned as he got on his knees.

"Oh my gosh...You are so pathetic...This can not be happening right now." Grace said annoyed and she walked away from Jack and left the church.

"Son...What do you think you're doing?" Reverend Stone said intrigued as he walked by Jack.

"Oh...Hey Dad...I just thought-" Jack said sadly.

"You thought what? That Grace would come running back to you when things are tough between you and other women? You should be grateful to have her as a friend." Reverend Stone said seriously as he sat next to Jack.

"I am but...this wasn't how things were supposed to turn out for us." Jack said in an irritated tone.

"Listen Jack...Sometimes life doesn't always go according to our plans but God has plans for all of us and they always happen how He wants them to...Do you understand what I'm saying?" Reverend Stone said honestly.

"Yeah...But why does God have us go through pain?" Jack said intrigued.

"Heh...That's one I'm still trying to figure out but I think we cause ourselves to feel pain...God doesn't control our emotions or anything we do...But we have the power to overcome our pain with God's grace no matter how bad it may be." Reverend Stone said kindly as he smiled.

"Thanks Dad...I really appreciate all your help." Jack said happily.

"No problem son...That's what I'm here for...What do you say we get some ice cream?" Reverend Stone said nicely.

"Sounds good to me...Let's go." Jack said smiling and they left the church.

Meanwhile at the hospital...

"She's still unconscious bro." Omar said sadly as he sat next to Dante in Lauren's room.

"Yeah...Amy tried talking to her but that didn't work...I don't know what to do." Dante said in a depressed tone.

"Me either man...I'm not a doctor but it sounds like there's not much the doctors can do." Omar said honestly.

"Guess we have to keep praying that God will help her wake up soon...You can go home if you want...It's been a long day." Dante said seriously and then nicely.

"Nah...I want to be here for you D...You're my brother." Omar said smiling.

"Yeah...Suit yourself O...I really appreciate everything you do for me." Dante said kindly.

"Excuse me! Are you Omar?" A nurse said seriously as she walked into the room.

"I am...What's going on?" Omar said confused.

"Your wife Adrian has went into labor." The nurse said concerned.

"What?! But the baby was due in June!" Omar said shocked.

"Apparently the baby wants to come out early! I can take you to her room." The nurse said honestly.

"All right! You want to come too Dante?" Omar said seriously.

"Uh...Child birth is something I'd rather not see...But you have fun." Dante said awkwardly.

"Ok...See ya later!" Omar said loudly and he ran out of the room with the nurse and they went into Adrian's room.

"That's it Adrian! Keep breathing!" The doctor said loudly.

"I'm here hun! The baby's really coming?!" Omar said shocked.

"Yes Omar! My water broke!" Adrian said out of breath.

"Oh wow! This is crazy!" Omar said surprised.

Meanwhile in the waiting room...

"I can't believe Adrian went into labor already." Amy said seriously.

"Yeah...Hopefully the baby will be ok." Ben said concerned.

"Yes...and...there's something I need to tell you." Amy said worried.

"Is it something to do with Ricky? I saw him leave earlier and he looked mad." Ben said intrigued.

"Well...I told him that I've been dreaming about him again." Amy said concerned.

"What?! I thought you got past that!" Ben said as he raised his voice.

"Ben! We're in a hospital!" Amy said sternly.

"I don't care! How the hell could you be dreaming about him again?!" Ben said in a frustrated tone.

"How am I supposed to know?! It just happened!" Amy said firmly as her face turned red.

"This is unbelievable...I'm out of here." Ben said meanly and he left the hospital and Amy followed him.

"Ben wait! Where are you going?" Amy said concerned.

"Home...I'll talk to you later." Ben said annoyed and he walked into a parking garage.

Meanwhile at the park...

Kathy and Ethan were sitting on a bench and eating ice cream.

"So you've been quiet all day...Is there something going on?" Ethan said intrigued.

"No...Why would you think that?" Kathy said confused.

"Cause I can tell...What's up?" Ethan said seriously.

"Promise you won't get mad." Kathy said honestly.

"I won't...Just tell me what it is." Ethan said smiling.

"Ok...So you remember how I dated Chase before we got back together?" Kathy said worried.

"Yeah...How could I forget? Why do you ask?" Ethan said a little irritated and then intrigued.

"Well...I got an STD test the other day cause we...had oral." Kathy said quietly.

"What?! Are you freaking kidding me?!" Ethan said shocked as he raised his voice.

"I wish I was...and I'm supposed to get the results on Monday." Kathy said seriously.

"God...How could you do this to me?" Ethan said firmly.

"Calm down Ethan! Odds are I might not even have anything." Kathy said loudly.

"Don't tell me to calm down! Who knows what all you got from Don and Brian! I don't know what I ever saw in you." Ethan said meanly as he stood up.

"What are you saying? I'm probably clean!" Kathy said honestly.

"You better hope so...I have a lot of homework to do." Ethan said annoyed and he walked away from Kathy.

Meanwhile at Daniel's apartment...

"So you don't know anyone named Haley?" Clementine said intrigued.

"Hell no! How many times do I have to answer that question." Daniel said irritated.

"But Ricky said you were with her." Clementine said honestly.

"You can't believe everything you hear...He probably misunderstood her...You know I love you." Daniel said nicely as he sat next to Clementine on the couch.

"All right...If you don't know a Haley then she shouldn't be on your phone." Clementine said sternly.

"Oh come on...You're not gonna put me through that...Don't you trust me?" Daniel said seriously.

"Are you trying to say you you're lying to me?" Clementine said concerned.

"No...Believe me...I don't know any girl named Haley." Daniel said kindly.

"Ok...But why did you punch Jack the other night?" Clementine said worried.

"Oh...That was a mistake...I didn't mean to hit him...Just thought he was after you...Sorry about that." Daniel said sincerely.

"Heh...No it's fine...I like it when you're jealous." Clementine said as she smirked.

"Really? You're not too bad when you're jealous either...Ha ha." Daniel said smiling and he learned in closer to Clementine and gave her a long kiss.

Later that night at Ricky's apartment...

"Jack really said that to you?" Ricky said surprised as he took his shirt off.

"Yes...I don't understand what his problem is." Grace said annoyed as she got into bed.

"Well...you are the most beautiful girl in the world." Ricky said kindly as he lied down.

"Heh...You are so funny." Grace said sarcastically as she faced Ricky.

"Glad you think so...But...Amy told me that she's been dreaming about me again." Ricky said concerned.

"What? Why would she say that?" Grace said confused.

"Beats me...Hopefully she'll get better soon." Ricky said seriously.

"You don't think she wants to get back with you, do you?" Grace said intrigued.

"Don't be ridiculous babe...Amy has always loved Ben and she always will." Ricky said honestly.

"Did you two...have sex a lot?" Grace said curiously.

"Grace! You know how I feel about personal questions." Ricky said annoyed.

"I'm sorry Ricky...Just trying to figure out why she would be dreaming about you...Maybe Ben isn't keeping her that satisfied." Grace said sincerely and then seriously.

"Whether he is or isn't is none of our business...Now can I keep you satisfied?" Ricky said a little irritated and he smirked.

"Yes you can." Grace said sweetly and Ricky gave her a long kiss.

Meanwhile at Ben's house...

"Knock knock." Chloe said nicely as she knocked on Ben's door.

"Come in." Ben said annoyed and Chloe walked in.

"Hey Ben...Do you want to tell me why Amy has called our home phone like twenty times tonight?" Chloe said intrigued as she sat in a chair.

"Cause she made me upset earlier." Ben said concerned.

"What happened?" Chloe said seriously.

"She...told me that she's been dreaming about Ricky again." Ben said sadly.

"Woah...What do you mean again?" Chloe said surprised.

"This happened before...Is this a sign that I'm doing something wrong?" Ben said honestly.

"Since when have you ever been wrong?" Chloe said as she smiled.

"Ha ha...Very funny...Maybe Amy doesn't want me anymore." Ben said sarcastically and then sadly.

"Hey...How can you say that? Amy loves you very much...She married you over Ricky didn't she?" Chloe said nicely.

"Well yeah but...sometimes I think things should have turned out differently." Ben said worried.

"But they didn't and you need to be a man and prove to Amy you love her no matter what...Go get her right now." Chloe said sternly.

"Wow Chloe...I forgot how pushy you can be." Ben said surprised.

"Somebody has to motivate you when Leo's not here...Good luck." Chloe said sweetly and she left Ben's room.

Meanwhile at the hospital...

"I can't believe we got twins!" Omar said happily.

"Me either! This is the best day of my life!" Adrian said excited and Omar gave her a short kiss.

"They are so adorable." Omar said kindly as he put his son in the small bed next to his sister's.

"Thank you for everything today, hun." Adrian said sweetly.

"It was my pleasure, love...You should get some rest and I'll see you in the morning." Omar said smiling.

"I will...and thank God they're healthy." Adrian said nicely.

"Thank Him indeed...Hopefully Lauren will be healthy soon." Omar said kindly.

"Yes...See you tomorrow...I love you." Adrian said tiredly.

"I love you too...Good night Adrian." Omar said joyfully and kissed Adrian on the cheek and left her room.

There you have it! Adrian and Omar had twins early! Will Lauren wake up? At least Toby is doing a lot better. What is Jack going to do next? Is Daniel telling Clementine the truth? What is Amy going to do about her dreams about Ricky? What will Kathy's STD results be? Stay tuned to find out! Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
