Sam ran into the waiting room and found Sage.

"They took Uncle Lo right into surgery," Sage said.

"Did the doctors say anything about his prognosis?" Sam asked.

"Unknown," Sage said, "It depends on how much damage the bullet did. If he lives, anything goes from a coma to permanent brain damage to somewhere in between."

"None of that is acceptable," Alexis said, overhearing Sage as she entered the waiting room, "He has to live with no brain damage."

"The odds don't look good right now," Sage said, "You might want to prepare yourself for the worst."

"What happened?" Alexis said, "How did Lorenzo end up…."

"He and Kellie went to chase down a lead on Alyssa," Sage said, "That's when he got shot."

"Where's Kellie and Alyssa now?" Sam asked.

"Alyssa is here," Sage said, "Spencer's sitting with her. The doctors had to sedate her. She was hysterical when they brought her in. And Kellie…."

"Is Kellie okay?" Sam asked.

"We don't know," Sage said, "Garrett has her and we don't know where she is."

"How the hell did Garrett get the upper hand on Kellie?" Sam said, "That doesn't make sense."

"Except Kellie's been sick and exhausted lately," Sage said, "I thought she was better but apparently she was here getting tests earlier today. I don't know the details."

"Where was Jason in all of this?" Alexis asked.

"Niagara falls," Sage said, "Something about Carly being kidnapped by Ryan Chamberlain. I'm not even sure Jason knows Kellie's missing."

"He knows," Michael said, approaching them, "I just talked to him. He found my mom. They're keeping her in the hospital overnight for observation."

"Did he say if he'd seen Danny," Sam said, "I know Drew is up there with Kim and Oscar. Danny apparently snuck off on this trip."

"He didn't say a lot," Michael said, "He didn't take the news of Kellie going missing well. He hung up before I tell him that the doctors think they might know why Kellie's sick."

"What do the doctor's think is wrong with Kellie?" Sage asked.

"Ovarian Cancer," Michael said, "But the doctors need to do more tests to confirm that."

They were interrupted by the sound of a clip board dropping. Charles had been filling out paper work for Alyssa overheard the conversation.

"Kellie…ovarian cancer," Charles said, "Are the doctors sure?"

"Given Kellie's symptoms, they seemed pretty sure," Michael said, going over to Charles.

"We're going to see if we can get an update on my dad," Sam said, as she, Sage, and Alexis left Michael to fill Charles in.

"I knew she had been tired lately," Charles said, "But I never imagined that."

"It was more than that apparently," Michael said, "Nausea and passing out."

"And now Kellie's in the hands of," Charles said, "And Alyssa she… Excuse me, I think I need a moment alone maybe more."

"Of course," Michael said, "if there's anything I can do for you."

"I'll let you know," Charles said, rushing off.

Meanwhile, Spencer was sitting by Alyssa hospital bed.

"Come on, Lyssie," Spencer said, "You have to wake up. I'll make sure everything will be okay for you I promise. Besides Jamie and Jared want an update since they can't sneak off as easily to get here. Don't ask me to tell them about this."

Spencer continued to sit with her.

Niagara Falls Hospital

"Did you just say ovarian cancer?" Jason asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry," Kim said, struggling to hold it together thinking of Oscar's battle, "I wish I had a better prognosis. But ovarian cancer can mimic pregnancy symptoms including elevated hormones like Kellie has. Her thyroid function is normal, so we've ruled out that as a cause. Since Kellie can't have kids that leaves us with…."

No one said anything else for several moments.

"I have to get back to Port Charles," Jason said, "But Carly has to stay…"

"You go do what you need to do find your wife," Drew said, "We'll make sure Carly gets back to Port Charles. Oscar isn't leaving until tomorrow."

"Thank you," Jason said, "I'll take Danny back with me and Josslyn too if she wants to go."

"Cameron and Trina are here too," Kim said.

"I can take all of them," Jason said.

"What if I want to stay here?" Danny asked.

"That is not an option," Jason said, "You stay here. I'm going to let Carly know what's going on."

When Jason went back into Carly's room, Josslyn was still there.

"Could I talk to your mom for a minute?" Jason asked.

"Yeah, sure," Josslyn said, moving to leave.

Once Josslyn left the room, Jason said, "I have to go back to Port Charles tonight."

"Wait, but I can't leave until tomorrow," Carly said, "How am I going to get home?"

"Drew is working on that," Jason said, "Kellie's missing. Garrett kidnapped her when she and Lorenzo rescued Alyssa."

"This has go to be a joke," Carly said, "There's no way Kellie would let anyone take her like that."

"Kellie illness caused her to pass out and Garrett took off with her," Jason said.

"Than what are you still doing here?" Carly replied, "Go find your wife before Garrett can do God knows what to her. Wait did the doctors figure out what's wrong with her?"

"They think ovarian cancer," Jason said.

"What?" Carly said, "Now that is definitely a joke."

"It's not conclusive, Carly," Jason said, "But they've ruled out the other possible causes of her symptoms."

"I refuse to believe it," Carly said, "Neither should you. Now what are you still doing here? Go get Kellie and can you take Josslyn home?."

"I plan to," Jason said, "If she's willing to go."

"She's going," Carly said, "Now go and bring your wife and child home."

"Child?" Jason replied, confused.

"Until the doctors have a definite diagnosis on Kellie," Carly said, "I'm not giving up on the idea that Kellie's pregnant and our kids being best friends. Don't argue with me...because you won't win. It's going to be okay. You'll see."

"I hope you're right, Carly," Jason said, before leaving the room, "Because I'm not sure what I'm going to do if Kellie doesn't get through any of this."

When Jason was gone, Carly grabbed the phone and made a call.

"Spinelli," Carly said when he answered, "Yes I know, I'm fine and it's awful what happened to Kellie and Alyssa. I know you're trying to track Kellie…..I need you to do something for me…The doctors think they might have an idea about Kellie. That's actually why I'm calling. I don't like the option they're considering…..that option is not important….just humor me, Spinelli. This might sound crazy and maybe it's wishful thinking. I think there's a better reason for Kellie's illness even though it's not supposed to be possible…..Can you just look through Kellie's medical records from when Alyssa was born and maybe the year after? I just need you to make sure Kellie's birth control method is as permanent as every one thinks it is…..and under no circumstances can you tell any one about this. I don't want to get Jason's hopes up…."
