Babe began driving back to the Chandler mansion but turned right on Valley View and parked in the parking lot of SOS. She got out and went in. She sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. Drink after drink, she fell more into her own depression. She knew JR would never take her back, Jamie would never give Ace to her and Bianca would never speak to her again. As Babe was sulking in her sorrows, Ryan Lavery walked in. He instantly saw Babe drinking her life away and walked over to her.

Babe was just about to order a drink before Ryan said, "Two coffees, please." Babe looked up at Ryan. She knew he and JR didn't quite get along. "Ryan, this isn't a good time..." Babe said. "Yes, it is, Babe..." Ryan said, continuing; "I just got a call from Hayley Santos and Bianca...Do you know what it was about? I think you do, by what I'm seeing now...You, getting drunk...something I've never seen you do.." "Ryan, I just lost everything, I don't think it's a good time for you to play Mr. Investigator." She stumbled to her feet. Ryan watched her pitifully. "If you don't mind, I'm going..." Babe almost said home, but she caught herself, "...somewhere..." Babe got her keys out of her purse and Ryan took them. "You're not going anywhere." He said boldly.

Babe turned around and looked Ryan in the eye. "Not only have I lost my daughter tonight, but I lost my son, again, I lost Bianca, I lost JR, Jamie...I've lost everyone..." Babe said, whimpering. "And you lost your mind when you kept an innocent baby from her mother." Ryan said. "You would do anything for Greenlee, even keep someone else's baby to keep from breaking her heart...because you love her." "Well, I'll be sure to keep our baby away from you when it's born in a few months..." Ryan said. Babe shook her head and walked out the door of SOS. She didn't know where she was going, but she would find out when she got there.

"I know you're not going to go to the Chandler house...And you couldn't go to the Valley Inn, because, you can't really believe that Adam and JR haven't cut your credit cards by now...Oh, and your 'mama', she doesn't have a home for you to stay in...And what friends do you have now? You've lied to and betrayed all of them...You're alone...alone in this big world."

Babe sat down on the curb and put her head in her hands. She was sobbing so hard, she couldn't even speak. Ryan felt his job was done and he walked to his car, got in, and left Babe in her misery.

Jamie took Ace to his apartment in which he shared with Maggie. He went directly to his room and sat on his bed, holding his son, Ace. He didn't know what to do with a baby...He didn't even own a crib, or any diapers, he had no knowledge of what a baby needs. He laid Ace on the bed so he could sleep and Jamie just watched him. Ace began to whimper and Jamie picked him up, cradling the boy in his arms. "What should I call you, huh, son?" Jamie looked at his young baby son and looked deeply into his eyes. Jamie wanted to name Ace something that meant something. He would keep Asa as a middle name, but he felt he should name his son. Then, suddenly, Jamie knew. "Joe...I'll name you Joseph....Joseph Thaddeus Asa Martin." Just then little Ace, now named Joseph smiled and cooed. "Yes, Joey, you like that name...You're named after your great grandfather, Joe, a brilliant man, and your gramps, Tad....and well, Asa, so you can keep some of that Buchanan spirit you've seen in your life." Little Joey smiled and then Jamie said, "Let's go get you some things and you can meet your family..."
