Llandview Hospital.
10:45 a.m.
Oliver is in Dr. Brown's office.
Dr. Brown: So, have you been taking it easy?
Oliver: Yes!
Dr. Brown: That's good!
Oliver: I'm anxious to go back to work.
Dr. Brown: The only way you will be able to go back to work is by getting a note from me saying you're physically better to do the job.
Oliver: I feel better.
Dr. Brown: Does your body feel sore?
Oliver: Yes, but I can deal with the pain.
Dr. Brown: Oliver, you were really lucky that you weren't seriously hurt.
Oliver: Yes, I am!
Dr. Brown: Have you gone to see someone about dealing with the traumatic events you went through?
Oliver: No!
Dr. Brown: You should!
Oliver: I don't think that it is necessary.
Dr. Brown: I believe that it is. Oliver, dealing with something traumatic, physical, and emotional doesn't go away.
Oliver: I know that! It's just I want to put it past me right now.
Dr. Brown: Still, I recommend you see a psychiatrist.
Oliver: I can't promise that I will go see a psychiatrist, but I will give it a lot of thought.
Dr. Brown: Okay! So, is next Thursday at 11 a.m. good for you?
Oliver: I may not be in Llandview. My Mom thinks I should get away for a week.
Dr. Brown: I think it is a great idea.
Oliver: It sounds like a great idea, but I really don't want to go.
Dr. Brown: Do you think of Llandview as your home?
Oliver: Yes! Also, there are people here that are important to me.
Dr. Brown: Still, going away might be useful.
Oliver: In what way?
Dr. Brown: Well, it could help you deal with what you went through if you were relaxed.
Oliver: Like going on a cruise?
Dr. Brown: Exactly!
Oliver: Well, I will think about it then.
Dr. Brown: That is good. Now, I think we should do a couple of physical tests to see how you are.
Oliver: Okay!
Sometime later
Around 1 p.m.
Oliver is back at the apartment. He finds Kelly playing with Bella.
Kelly: So, how did your doctor's appointment?
Oliver: It went fine. Did anyone call?
Kelly: Your Mom did! She said she wants you to call here when you get back from your doctor's appointment.
Oliver: Okay!
Seconds later he goes to call his Mom. On the second ring she answers the phone.
Barbara: Hello!
Oliver: Hi Mom!
Barbara: Hi Oliver! How did your appointment with the doctor go?
Oliver: It went fine. Mom, I think it would be a good idea to get away from Llandview.
Barbara: What made you realize that?
Oliver: I guess people kept telling me it was a good thing to do. Also, I think it is what I need.
Barbara: Which is the right thing? So, is there somewhere in particular that you want to go to?
Oliver: Not really, but I was thinking maybe being on a cruise would be a good thing.
Barbara: I can look into that! I'll make sure to pick a destination that is a reasonable price.
Oliver: Okay!
Barbara: Have a good day son!
Oliver: I will! Bye Mom!
Barbara: Bye son! I love you!
Oliver: Love you too Mom!
Then he ends the call!
Meanwhile at the Police Station
Nick is in John McBain's office.
John: Your arraignment is tomorrow at 11 a.m.
Nick: Okay! Does Oliver know?
John: Not yet, but he will!
Nick: Okay!
John: In my opinion I think Oliver doesn't need to show up, but I respect him for wanting to be there for you.
Nick: I respect him too for wanting to help me.
John: Which I don't think you deserve but Oliver is the kind of person who is willing to give someone a second chance.
Nick: Can I go back to my jail cell now?
John: Yes!
Then he takes Nick back to his jail cell.
Sometime later
Around 5 p.m.
Kelly is on the phone with her Mom.
Deborah: So, Oliver is fine?
Kelly: Yes, he is.
Deborah: That is good to hear.
Kelly: So, how are you and Dad doing?
Deborah: We're doing fine!
Kelly: Okay! I'll call you again over the weekend1
Deborah: Okay1 Bye Kelly! I love you!
Kelly: Love you too Mom!
Meanwhile Oliver is asleep on his bed having a flashback of being in the car accident. He wakes up seconds later.
Oliver: I have to forget about the car accident, what Nick did to me, so I can focus on more important things. I will not let what happen to me ruin my life. In time it will go away. It has to.
Around 5:30 p.m.
Stacy is at the apartment.
Kelly: How far along are you?
Stacy: I'm in my eighth week now!
Kelly: You look good!
Stacy: For now but as the weeks go by I will look huge.
Kelly: You will look beautiful.
Stacy: Thanks for saying that? So, how much longer are you staying in Llandview for?
Kelly: I'm headed back to Florida tomorrow.
Stacy: So, how about the two of us go out to Roddi's?
Kelly: What about Oliver?
Stacy: Let him sleep! He really needs it.
Kelly: Okay! I'll leave a note to let him know where we're going to.
Stacy: We'll leave for Roddi's in a half an hour!
Kelly: That is fine with me.
Around 7:45 p.m.
Kelly is walking Stacy back to the apartment she is currently staying at.
Stacy: I should mention to you that I will be moving out of the apartment I'm staying at.
Kelly: When are you planning to?
Stacy: Probably this weekend!
Kelly: Who are you going to be staying with?
Stacy: Someone I know from work!
Kelly: That is good. So, you're really leaving Llandview after the baby is born?
Stacy: I think it would be the best thing to do.
Kelly: Is it best if you're not around for your child?
Stacy: Kelly, did Oliver fill you in on what I did to him?
Kelly: Yes, he did!
Stacy: You must be angry at me too?
Kelly: I am but I do support Oliver's decision in the matter.
Stacy: Okay! It's just I'm not ready to be a mother now, but maybe later I will be.
Kelly: I think you're afraid that maybe you will be a disappointment to your child.
Stacy: I think my child deserves to be with a loving parent, and that person is not me.
Kelly: Well, okay! Do you think there is a possibility that you might want to be part of your child's life?
Stacy: There might be, but I don't know that now!
Kelly: Okay! I just thought it was important that I ask you.
Stacy: Well, if you want to keep in touch with me I will give you my cell number.
Kelly: That would be great.
Stacy: Okay!
Then she tells Kelly what her cell phone number, and then Kelly puts in her cell phone.
