Todd sighed as he disconnected the phone with Spinelli. He always had a hard time deciphering Spinelli's strange speech and now he had a migraine. As much as the boy irritated him, he was the best P.I. in the business and he would get him the answers that he needed.

He smiled as he realized that he had missed Natalie's call and played her message. He couldn't help but chuckle as he heard that his tempestuous niece would help him break up John and Marty. He was planning on using the favor that Marty would owe him to break them up, but now it appeared that he didn't need to. If he found Cole then he could ask Marty for another favor, but what? And then it hit him, he could have everything he ever wanted. The timing was perfect, as he would be divorcing Tea in the next couple of days. With Natalie's help he would break up John and Marty's relationship. With Spinelli's help he would find Cole and Marty would be so grateful to him that she would honor her part of the deal, he was certain of it. When he found Cole, he would ask Marty to marry him, yes, it would most likely be a marriage in name only, but he had already had plenty of those, but all he needed was time alone with her, time to convince her that he really did love her and then she would stop denying what was in her heart, for Todd was certain that she loved him too.

Todd was about to call Natalie back, when he saw somebody emerge from the hospital. He was wearing black clothes and he kept his head down as he tried to stay within the shadows, but even so, he knew who that man was. There was no denying it, the man sneaking through the dark hospital parking lot was his twin Victor. Todd seethed as he realized that his brother Victor had been alive this whole time and had let Tea, Danni and Marty grieve for him.

"You're going to pay," Todd muttered under his breath as he got out of the car and locked eyes with his brother as he slammed his car door shut.

"Todd," Victor whispered as he was face to face with the brother that he hated.

Blair held Tea's hand as another contraction hit her and the monitor's began to beep erratically.

"What's that?" Tea cried out just as another contraction hit her.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Manning, but the baby is showing signs of distress, we have to take you for an emergency c-section," the doctor explained as he came into the room.

"It's too soon, the baby can't be born now," Tea cried out.

"I'm sorry, but we don't have time to wait. You're baby's oxygen levels are dropping too fast, we need your consent and we need it now," the doctor persisted as he handed her a form.

"What should I do Blair?" Tea asked.

"I know you're scared, but sign the papers and have the surgery. I know that it's early, but I had Starr early and she survived and so will this child, because they are strong like you," Blair said as she kissed Tea.

Tea said a quick prayer in her mind as she signed the papers. She couldn't lose this baby after everything else she had lost.

As soon as the papers were signed the medical staff took her away for the surgery leaving Blair behind.

"Please be okay little one, you're all that your mother has left of Victor and she won't survive losing you," Blair whispered to herself.

XOXOXO

John held Marty in his arms as she drifted to sleep. He was grateful that she and their son wasn't hurt as some kind of Karmic penance for his dalliances with Natalie. "I'm sorry little one, I'll do better by you and your mother," John whispered as he kissed her belly.

"I wish that I could promise you that I will stay away from Natalie and this will never happen again, but it will as long as we are in the same town. I've tried to let her go, but I can't, I love her. I care about your mom too, but it's just not the same. Once your mom and I are married then we will move far away from Llanview and far away from Natalie. It will break my heart to do it, but it needs to be done. Once we are far away then I'm certain that I can be faithful to your mother and maybe even learn to love her. I love you kid and I promise that I will do right by you," John promised as he placed his hand on Marty's stomach and felt the baby kick.

"I'm glad to see that she's sleeping. She was so agitated, insisting that she saw Cole," the nurse mentioned as she came in the room and checked Marty's vitals.

"She said that she saw Cole? That can't be, he's dead," John whispered as his eyes misted up with tears.

"Yes, I've heard some crazy things from patients with head injuries, but she was insistent that he was still alive. I'm glad to see that she's resting now, I was worried what the stress would do to her and the baby, with her last miscarriage and all," Heather rambled on as Marty opened her eyes.

"What miscarriage?" John asked as he first looked at the nurse and then to Marty for answers.
