Room:
"Should I be doing anything?" Jason asked not really knowing what to do. "Yeah" Carly said laughing "get ready to catch the baby."
A few minutes later a small cry was heard in the room. "It's a girl." Jason said proudly. Sonny came around with the towels he and Carly had gotten earlier.
"Is she ok" Liz asked with tears in her eyes.
"Perfect, just like her mother." Jason said with a smile on his face placing the baby in her arms.
"Here" Carly began taking the baby from her "I'll get her cleaned up and you rest.
"Thank you." Liz replied. she was sure she had made the right decision. Sonny and Carly took the baby into the bathroom leaving Liz and Jason alone.
"You did it" Jason said coming over to sit next to her.
"Thanks to you. I don't think I would have been able to do it without you." She replied.
Bathroom:
"God Sonny she's so tiny and beautiful. Was Morgan like this after he was born?"
"Yeah, he was. I'm sorry Carly. For everything."
"I know me to. I love you Sonny."
"I know I love you too."
Room:
Carly came back carrying a now clean and sleeping baby. "So what's her name or am I just gona have to call her mini muffin?" Carly asked. Liz laughed
" I don't know Rick." she began quietly 'wanted to name her after his mother if it was a girl but, that's not really appropriate." she didn't want to think of the pain
Rick had caused and was still causing her.
"I don't mind if you want to name her Adela." Sonny started but Liz cut him off.
"No Sonny, I mean thank you but, Rick probably only wanted to use it to make you angry."
She was probably right Sonny thought He would have hated Rick using his mothers name for his children.
"I'm not saying you have to but, I wouldn't mind really and as a bonus his plan backfires and will probably piss him off." Sonny said with a grin.
"Yeah it probably will." She said returning his smile. "So Adela Caroline it is."
"Caroline?" Carly asked surprised.
"You helped save me and my baby today." Liz began. "I know we're not best friends or anything but I'll owe you forever for this."
"Thanks." Carly said with a smile. "But, I may still just call her mini muffin."
"I wouldn't expect anything more from you Carly." Liz replied.
Getting over the shock of Carly and Liz getting along and being civil Jason turned to Sonny. "How are we going to get out?"
" I don't know. I guess we start heading up after Liz rests a bit." Sonny answered.
"No" Liz started "We've already been delayed enough."
"Calm down." Jason said smoothing the hair off her face. "You just gave birth you have to rest before you'll be able to go."
She turned to the night stand where she left the folded piece of paper. "You guys have done so much already but, I have one last favor."
"Anything" Jason replied.
"Not you" She answered looking to sonny and Carly.
"What?" They asked unsure of what was going on.
"You guys need to go now. I mean thank you for everything you've done but, you have to get out. Jason's right I wouldn't make it very far and your kids need you."
"Hey I told you I would get you and the baby out and I..." Sonny began
"I know and you wont be breaking your promise not really. I want you guys to take Adela and go. I you to get her out." Liz interrupted. They were surprised but
recovered quickly. Her next request though was one they never expected. "That's not all." She began. "If I don't make it out."
"You will." Jason started but she interrupted.
"Jason I know there's no way to convince you to leave me and get out but, I might not make it. I have to think of my daughter. If I die everyone thinks she's
Rick's and I can't let him take her."
"So do you want us to take her to her real father." Carly inquired hooping to finally find out who it was.
"No, He signed away his rights. He isn't ready to be a parent. My grandmothers to old she'd never admit it though and Emily and Nicholas agreed to be the god
parents but their not even married they don't need an infant to take care of. They would but, I..."
Jason smiled "your rambling" He said.
"Sorry, I guess what I'm asking is if I don't make it will you guy raise Adela?" She waited for a response.
"Why us?" Carly asked. She and Liz didn't normally get along and Liz hadn't even really spoke to Sonny since she left until today.
"I know where not close, and don't really even like each other but, no matter what I think of you, you are a great mother Carly. You guys both are great parents.
You love your children more than everything."
Sonny was still in shock someone wanted their child raised by him? He never though he was a good parent he mentally went over every mistake he thought he
had made with Michael and Morgan. He did love them that was true. But his life was dangerous he hated his own kids being involved in it would he want to
drag someone else in.
As if Liz could read his thoughts "You don't need to get into the danger speech." She said.
"Your favorite right." He laughed.
"I know you would do everything you could to keep her safe. And there are no guarantees. But, with you guys no matter how long or short her life is it would
have a lot of love in it and that's what I want." She answered honestly.
"Are you sure?" Carly asked still not believing it.
"Yes." She handed the paper in her hand to Sonny. "I know it's asking a lot but..."
"I would be honored to raise her." Sonny interrupted. "Carly?"
"I never expected but, of course we will if it's really what you want. But, can I still call her mini muffin?" Carly joked.
"I'm sure it's what I want." Liz started with tears in her eyes.. "When she's old enough please just tell her that, that I loved her more than anything."
"We will don't worry." Sonny said.
"You should get going It's all written down on the paper. I mean that I want Adela with you guys and that she's not Ricks. I know it's not a legal document but I
hope it's enough." She said worried Rick would find a way around it.
"Hey no matter what I have to do I wont let Rick near her." Sonny said.
"Thank you. For everything." She Kissed her baby. "I love you." Handing her over to Carly. "Now get going."
Sonny turned to Jason. "I don't know what to say man. I mean how can I just leave you here?"
"Sonny I'm not giving up I plan on getting Liz and myself out. But she's right you and Carly should go your boys need you and Knowing her baby is safe is the
most important thing to her right now." Sonny gave Jason a quick hug and kissed Liz on the cheek.
"Jase you know I love you."
"I know Carly I love you too." She kissed him on the cheek quickly.
"Where going to try to go up and make it to the Versailles room. Hopefully the helicopter will be able to come by then." Sonny told them.
"Here" Jason said taking off his leather jacket and wrapping it around Adela."this will protect her better than the blankets. Now go we'll be behind you soon."
With that they left determined to keep their promise and get Adela to safety.
