***Alexis' ICU Room***

(Ned enters the room and sits down next to her bed and takes her hand)

Bobbie: Call me if you need anything?

Ned: Sure

(she leaves)

Ned: (gently) Hi sweetheart.(she looks at him) Hey. Your in the hospital. You were in a car accident, do you remember?

Alexis: Yes. You saved my life. Thank you.

Ned: You gave me quite a scare there. I was so afraid I was going to loose you and then when you told me you were pregnant all I could think about were all the things I would never get to do with you and how I would never get to be a father to this child...

Alexis: (scared) Ned did I...

Ned: No ,no everything is fine I'm sorry (brushing a strand of hair out of her face)

Alexis: (sincerely) I'm sorry about...

Ned: It's ok don't do this now. We can talk about that later.

Alexis: I do love you

Ned: (pause) I love you too, I love you too (kisses her on the forehead) and I'm never letting go of you again.
