Cameron followed Alexis up to the hospital nursery, where Kristina had been since the day she was born. He stood back a little, watching the soft, loving expression on her face as she held her daughter. He wished she could be this happy all the time.
"I wish I could take her home." she mused.
"You can't." Cameron reminded her gently.
"I know." Alexis sighed. "She... She isn't safe with me." she stammered, a tear rolling down her cheek. Cameron stood next to her and wiped it away. "Can you help me?" she asked pleadingly. "Can you make me better, make it so my daughter is safe around me?"
"I can try." he said. "Alexis, I will do everything I can to help you get better, but I'll need your full cooperation."
"Of course." she said. "Of course, you have it. I'll do anything."
"It's going to take a while, and it's not going to be easy."
"I know, I understand that. I just want my little girl."
Cameron nodded. "Okay. You'll get your little girl back, Alexis. I promise." He put his arms around her, gently rubbing the small hand of the baby she was holding. Alexis leaned against him, emotionally exhausted. The baby cooed. Alexis smiled down at her daughter, reminding herself that she was doing this for Kristina.

A.J. sat at the bar, sipping his drink. He'd gone straight from to Jake's from the pier where he'd heard Jax and Skye. On the way, he'd called Coleman.
"This better be good," Coleman said, sitting down next to A.J.
"I'm sorry, were you busy?" A.J. asked caustically.
"As a matter of fact, I was very busy trying to figure out how to get your sister out of trouble." he responded.
"Well, it's a good thing I called you, then." A.J. said.
The other man's eyebrows raised in curiousity. "Do tell."
"I overheard my dear sister talking to that ex-husband of hers. Apparently, she's been holding out on us with regards to the real killer's identity." A.J. said suspensfully, relishing his role as informant.
"Go on." Coleman prodded.
"Would you believe it if I told you that Alexis Davis killed Alcazar?"
Coleman blinked. "You're shittin' me."
A.J. shook his head. "It's true."
Coleman sat back, thinking about this. "Damn."
"It makes sense," A.J. went on. "First he killed her sister, then he left her and her baby in the snow to die when she went into labor early, why wouldn't she want revenge?"
"I never would've thought of Alexis as the murdering type. She's a lawyer, you'd think she of all people would want to do it legally." Coleman mused.
A.J. shrugged. "People do strange things when they're grieving. Besides, we're not here to talk about what set her off. We're here to talk about getting Skye off the hook."
"Well, you know what to do, don't you?" Coleman asked. "Looks like it's time for us to pay a visit to little Scotty Baldwin."
