Carly entered Kellie's room.

"You must hate me," Kellie said, "As soon as I can I'll get my stuff out of your hotel."

"Why would I hate you?" Carly asked.

"In case you missed the memo, your son is close to death because of me," Kellie said.

"You are not responsible for Ethan's actions," Carly said.

"Ethan wouldn't be here if it weren't for me," Kellie said, "And Morgan wouldn't be fighting for his life."

"Kellie, stop blaming yourself," Carly said, "You're also the only person standing between my son and death right now."

"I'll have the track marks to prove it," Kellie said. She pulled the blanket tighter over her.

"Are you okay?" Carly asked.

"I'm cold," Kellie said.

Carly felt Kellie's forehead. "You're freezing, I'll see about getting you some blankets."

Carly found Liz outside the room. "Kellie's freezing," she said, "Could you get her an extra blanket."

"Freezing?" Liz said. She ran into the room. Kellie wasn't awake. "Kellie, wake up." Kellie didn't respond.

"What's wrong with her?" Carly asked.

"She's gone back into shock," Patrick said, entering the room. "We can't take anymore blood from her. It'll kill her. We have almost all we need for Morgan. Liz take this batch of blood to the OR."

"Will she be okay?" Carly asked.

"No way to tell," Patrick said, injecting a solution into her I.V. "We wait and see. You need to leave."

In the waiting room away from everyone else

"How rare are the antigens in Morgan and Kellie's blood," Jason asked Monica

"Rarer than most, but most of the time the blood bank has it on hand?" Monica said, "Why?"

"We've been trying to figure out how Kellie is connected to us," Jason said, "It seems strange that her blood matches Morgan's in this whole mess."

"Why does Kellie have to be connected to you and Sonny," Monica asked.

"Ethan, the guy that did this, has been solely focused on Kellie," Jason said, "Focusing on Morgan, Sonny, or I, doesn't make sense."

"Unless she's connected to you somehow," Monica said, "You want a DNA test between her and Morgan. If there's any blood left. We don't know if we can get enough blood from her or Morgan let alone enough for a DNA test."

"That's fine," Jason said, "What about hair samples?"

"Wait until her and Morgan are stabilized before we do anything," Monica said.

"Do whatever you have to," Jason said, "Don't mention this to anyone not even Sonny."

Carly walked out. "Kellie went back into shock."

"Did they get enough blood for Morgan?" Sonny asked

"Almost," Carly said, "They won't take anymore from her. It'll kill her. The doctors still don't know if she'll make it."

"Is there anyone to make medical decisions for her?" Monica asked, joining them along with Jason.

"No," Jason said.

"I'll make them," Carly said.

"No you won't" Ethan said entering the conversation.

"Who are you?" Monica asked.

"I'm Kellie's fiancée," Ethan said, "I'll be making the decisions for her."

"No, you're not," Jason said, "You need to leave."

"Where's a cop when you need him?" Sonny muttered, "Max, stick to Kellie." Max took off.

"Are you Ethan?" Carly asked. He nodded. "There is no way in hell I will let you anywhere near her."

"You don't get a choice," Ethan said, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get my fiancée transported to a hospital better equipped to treat her."

"Apparently, you don't get it," Jason said, "I'll show you out myself. You are not getting anywhere near Kellie." Jason grabbed Ethan.

"I'll show myself out," Ethan said, "I'll be back." He headed out.

"Is that?" Monica asked

"The guy responsible for all this, yes," Jason said, "We need call Justus, have him draw up paperwork giving Carly power of attorney for Kellie. If Ethan gets the paperwork, Kellie's up the creek."

An hour later

Justus walked entered the hospital, "I've got the papers. They just need Carly's signature."

"No problem," Carly said, signing the papers.

"If Ethan tries anything, he won't have a leg to stand on," Justus said, "You have guards on Kellie?"

"We had Max on her until Milo could get here," Sonny said, "Max is at home with Michael and Leticia."

Noah approached the group, "Morgan's surgery was successful. We'll keep him for a few days for observation. But barring any complications we expect a full recovery."

"Thank god," Carly said.

"When can I see my son?" Sonny asked.

"He's still in recovery. I'll let you know when you can see him," Noah said.

Carly went back to Kellie's room. "How is she?"

"Barely alive," Patrick said, "Her vitals are at a bare minimum to survive. I don't think she knows if she wants to live." He left

"Kellie, you listen to me," Carly said, sitting at her bedside. "You have to fight. If you die, you're letting Ethan win. Morgan's just got out of surgery. He's gonna be fine."

"Is she gonna wake up?" Sonny asked.

"They don't know yet," Carly said, "Patrick said she's barely alive."

"She looks so peaceful," Sonny said, "Now that she's not mouthing off every chance she gets."

"I'm sure you deserved every bit of it Sonny," Carly said.

"Thank you for saving my son," Sonny said, "You have to wake up. Use some of that sass you seem to have a never ending supply of. Jason and I will help you get your life back."

"It killed you to say that," Carly said.

"Go home and get some rest, Carly," Sonny said, leaving.
