This takes place in November of 2003, Carly has been held captive by Ric for months and she finally goes into labor. Ric thinks he can deliver the baby by himself, but realizes he can't and rush's off to the hospital to get a doctor leaving Carly still in labor. But Ric forgets to close the Panic Room door. Elizabeth comes home early from a gallery showing and finds a distressed Carly in labor. Elizabeth immediately call's 911 and tries to calm Carly while she wonder's what has been going on. Carly keeps repeating to Liz "don't let Ric take the baby". Liz rides with Carly to the hospital, once there, Liz calls Sonny at the penthouse and informs him Carly is at the hospital. This is where we begin.

Liz tucks her phone back in her purse, Liz sits on the sofa and tries to piece together what she knows, just then a panicked Ric runs through the lobby and sees Carly in the emergency room in labor. "No!!!!" he screams. Liz looks up at him, that instant she knew for sure that this was all Ric's doing. All these months he had Carly, he lied to her. Liz walked over to Ric as calmly as she could, she didn't know what to say.he eyes began welling up, Ric wasn't the man she thought he was at all, "You bastard" was all that could escape her lips. Ric turned around with an utter look of shock on his face

Sonny slams the phone down and darts out of the penthouse to Jason and Courtney's where he practically knocks down the door. "Carly.." was all he could say, his eyes were so full of emotion. His heart was beating out of his chest. Jason and Courtney both got off their couch and looked at Sonny confused, "What about Carly..did you find her?" Courtney asked. "Elizabeth called, she's at the hospital, with Carly, Carly's in labor!" Jason and Courtney looked stunned as they immediately grabbed their coats and ran to the elevator while Sonny went to get little Michael.

Ric looks down at Liz and tries to explain as he reaches for her but she backs off, "Don't touch me!!!" Ric glances back at Carly and then back to Liz, "I did it for you Elizabeth, you have to understand.." "Understand! From what I see you have held Carly in.that room.since, god since June! Carly has been in my house almost 5 months, I never would have imagined..God Ric..why?!!! "Because Sonny took our baby! I had to take theirs! Don't you see...Sonny took my life away from me, its time I took some away from him! Liz, I did it for you, I knew how much you wanted a family" Just then Liz realized Ric didn't just kidnap Carly to get revenge on Sonny, but to take her baby, It all made perfect sense now, that's what Carly was telling her earlier. Liz stomach did a turn around and she looked at Ric disgusted. "You were going to take the baby, Ric? Sonny did not push me down the stairs!" Ric nodded not really listening to Liz, "He was going to be our baby," Ric looks angrily back to Carly. Just then Jason, Sonny, Michael, and Courtney show up looking for Carly, Sonny spots her in the emergency room and rushed in the nurse pushes Sonny away saying she is having complications. Sonny stands right out side the curtain waiting. Jason spots Ric and immediately tackles him. Liz backs and covers her mouth, she can't believe what is going on. Courtney pulls Jason off Ric while Sonny's Bodyguards grab Ric. Jason and Courtney look at Liz who is almost hysterical now. "I didn't know," she repeats a few times, ".I didn't know" Then she looks at Ric, "I don't ever want to.see.hear..talk to you again, you stay away from me! I hope Sonny's guards make a mess of you!" She then darts into an elevator. Sonny guards escort Ric to the stairs and Jason glances at Sonny who nods and Jason follows closely behind. Courtney goes to comfort Michael and then went to Sonny.

Liz rushes home and falls onto her couch crying.how could he have done this..what was going on through his head..then Liz realized something must be wrong with Ric.mentally. Maybe he was sick. He definitely was, but what if he was clinically ill. She loved Ric so much..yet hated him too. She wanted to save him now that she thought he might me ill. It was too late though..Sonny's guards would have done their work by now. Jason would make sure of it. Liz stared into the room and got up to look inside..she couldn't believe Carly was in there the whole time. She was torn, between her heart and mind...her mind said Ric was a evil man, who had an agenda the whole time.then her heart said Ric just needed help.that's all. But she just shook her head and left the room and went upstairs to her bedroom.

Sonny and Courtney fell asleep in the waiting room after Carly was transferred the pregnancy ward. A doctor came out, "Mr. Corinthos.." Sonny immediately woke up and jumped up. "Your wife.her complications were due to the state of her obvious poor health..but now she.and your son.. are fine."

Sonny just smiled, "So..er..what can I see them?" "Well she's resting right now, it's been a long night for them, tomorrow morning you'll be able to see them." Sonny just nodded, "Thank you doctor," The doctor nodded as he left the room. Sonny woke Courtney up, "Sonny, is everything OK?" Sonny nodded, "Yes, Carly and your nephew are fine." Courtney smiled and they hugged with joyful tears coming out of both their eyes. Then Michael woke up, "Where's mommy?" Sonny smiled and put an arm around Michael, "Mommy is resting in her room, but tomorrow we get to see mommy.and your new brother." Michael laughed and hugged his father.

Sonny's guards dropped Ric down at the pier tied up where they left Jason alone with him. Jason loaded up his gun, "Why'd you do it Ric?" "Because Sonny took my baby, so I was going to take his!" Jason just stared at Ric with his pale blue eyes. "How did you think that plan would work out..Elizabeth would wonder where the baby came form." Ric stared down in his own little world, "I had it all planned out" Jason pointed the gun at Ric, he pulled the trigger, and at that moment Liz came out of no where and jumped in front of Ric. Her eyes met with Jason whose mouth flew open. Liz felt the bullet sting her chest as she collapsed on the ground. "Elizabeth!" Both Ric and Jason shouted. Elizabeth looked down and saw the blood, her blood soaking her shirt. Jason sat her up and immediately ripped her shirt to expose the wound. He applied pressure as Ric began yelling, "Elizabeth, no, no," Ric began crying. Elizabeth looked at Jason, "I'm sorry..I just couldn't let you kill him" "Jason, untie me! Please" Jason glanced at Ric then back to Liz who was crying now, "I'm not going to make it am I.Jason..? Jason was silent, he reached for Liz's phone and dialed 911 and asked for an ambulance to pier 57 and hung up. "Elizabeth, you're going to be fine." She looked at Jason, "I'm sorry for everything Jason." Jason kissed her forehead, he knew she wasn't going to make it, "I am too." Jason got up and untied Ric and let him rush to Elizabeth's side. "Elizabeth, the ambulance is on its way, you'll be fine," Liz just shook her head, "No, I won't" Ric began to sob, "I love you Elizabeth, I really do" Liz stroked Ric face, "I know, I love you too," she had to whisper. "I don't know why, but I do." Ric brushed hair from her eyes, "you changed my life Elizabeth," Liz just smiled. Ric leaned over and kissed Liz on the lips, they kissed with all the passion and romance in their hearts, then Liz's lips went weak. Her head turned to the left and her eyes closed. Ric took her limp body into his arms and screamed, "No!!!!!!" He turned to Jason who stood and watched, tears were coming from his eyes as well. "You bastard!!! You and Sonny have ruined my life, you have taken everything from me!!!!!" He held Liz's body tighter and rocked it. He all of a sudden calmed down and whispered, "I'll see you again soon" he put Elizabeth down and turned to Jason, "Shoot me now, Jason, shoot me" Ric was still sobbing as he approached Jason. Jason held the gun down at his side, then Ric pulled a knife, Jason had no other choice but to shoot him, so he lifted the gun and shot Ric point blank. Ric fell to the ground dead next to Elizabeth's body. Jason placed the unregistered gun in Ric's hand, it looked like a homicide then suicide. Jason reassured him self with that fact. He stood and stared at Elizabeth, a woman whom he cared about so much long ago, lying in her own blood next to a mad man whom he hated. He could hear the sirens approaching, he dashed off then into the night.
