Paul's POV

I guess it is my turn to tell you the story huh? Since Lucy is kind of out of it, and Dusty well he has seems to be out of it too. You know I would have never thought Dusty Donovan would be the family man type. I always plagued him for the hustler, the man who wants to make a quick buck.

However when Lucy Montgomery entered his life, man he changed, he changed for the better. He became more reliant on things at hand.

When I first heard that Dusty was shacking up with Lucy I wanted to murder him. Lucy stopped me though. She said she loved him and I should respect her decisions. I agreed. I still did not like the idea.

I actually agreed to let Lily pretend to be Rose to try to seduce Dusty into bed. It did not work. Dusty told Lily that she could pretend to be Rose all she wanted, he wasn't gonna hurt Lucy. He loved her.

I'm not sure if I hate the man or not. I don't know if I can ever get past the fact, he tried to steal my fiancé from me. Now I look at a tortured man who has lost so much in his life. I realize even if he is Dusty Donovan he doesn't deserve to lose his daughter or the love of his life.

I know how it feels to lose some one you love dearly. I got over Rose's death. If Lucy dies. I don't thing Dusty will get through it.

"Paul." He looks at me confused on what I'm doing there. "What are you doing here?"

"We were best friends once right?" I ask.

"Yeah, but..."

"But nothing man, you need all the support you can get. I'm sure there are a lot of people who think you deserve this, I however don't." I explain to him. Rosanna actually made me realize that we shouldn't take our friends for granted. Dusty was once a good friend. She also reminded me that if a child of mine were in there I would want any friend I could get.

"Thanks. I appreciate it. Have you seen Lucy? Craig allowing you in there." He asks. Craig has barred me as well. Rosanna is allowed it. She's keeping me up to date.

"No, I'll check with Rosanna later." I tell him. He nods.

"Tell her to come see Nicole." He said. I nodded. I left to go find Rosanna.

I found Rosanna leaning on her sister. She'd always thought of Lucy as her own child. She must be hurting so much. She just lost her baby not to long ago, and to think she may be losing another. It was heart wrenching.

I went up to her. "Paul." She greeted me. The doctors say there's no change. They even lowered her chances of survival." She said as she broke down. I held her up as he cried.

"Dusty wants as many of us to visit Nicole to give her our support." I tell her and Carly.

"Of course." Rosanna said putting on a brave face and heading to NICU, Carly and I right behind her.

When we get to the NICU, we stop suddenly as we hear Dusty talking to his daughter.

"You have to fight this baby, you have to. You have to live so your mom will live. You have to pull out of this." Dusty began to say. He sniffled a little.

"She's wonderful woman, your mother. She's perfect and wonderful and just the greatest person you will ever meet. However, she's in a hospital room fighting for her life as well. You know what though she's a Walsh and a Montgomery and if I knew better those are the two most a stubbornness family outside the Donovan's...so she must..." He then broke down into heart wrenching sobs.

Rosanna goes over to him and gives him a hug. "It's gonna be fine. Lucy is strong girl. She is."

I watch as Rosanna comforts a man who may be losing his entire family.

Tbc... I'm gonna have the next POV by Rosanna.
