Four hours, four of the longest hours Ray has ever had to experience in his life. He sat by her side waiting for her to wake up. Abby, Marie and Jon just waited hoping that their friend could come out of this to finally enjoy her life with Ray and the twins.

"Wow, I can not believe Neela is having twins."

"I would love to be more optimistic but in her state it is touch and go."

"Abby, we can not give up I can not see my best friend and sister die. Especially since she is finally getting everything she has ever wanted but was not sure she would get."

After her statement Marie walked over to the exam room door and was looking through the window. Looking how her friend was laying there on a stretcher almost lifeless. Watching how the man she loves is sitting at her bedside. It made Marie so mad, furious at how a son of a bitch like Gates could come between two people who are meant for each other. Marie turned around and looked at Jon.

"Jon we have to do something about dear Dr Gates."

"Baby, what do you have in mind?"

"Well you are a lawyer and maybe you can call in some favors to see if you can come up with something on that bastard."

"Maybe I can I have a friend who works downtown in the Medical Board Department and maybe if I tell him what this Gates person is doing he might be able to do something."

"Somethings like what?"

"Baby, I know a lot of people, and over the years I have gotten a lot of people out of a lot of trouble. Let's just say I know people."

"Okay, I don't even want to know."

"Listen just make sure Ray worries about Neela and the babies and I'll handle the rest. That is the least I could do for my buddy."

Ray held Neela's hand and with the other rubbed her belly. He was feeling so bittersweet. In one hand he had helped conceive two children, in the other the love of his life is fighting for her own. He was daydreaming about how his life would be as Neela's husband and having two children. He had a smirk on his face that no one could take away from him. He started to talk to Neela to help her come back to him.

"Hey, Rasgostra you better wake up, because I can not do this without you. I love you too much Neela. You have made me become a better man and I need you. I'm sorry I doubted you I'm sorry I was too much of a coward to ask you about what I saw the other day. I had no idea what you where going through. But, I need you to wake up for me believe me everything will be okay I promise."

With his heartfelt words Neela started to wake.

"Abby, Abby she's waking up." Shouted an exhausted and excited Ray.

"Ray, what happened?"

"Marie, she waking up?"

"Oh thank god."

"Ray, I need you to step aside so I can check her vitals."

"Alright, but I'm not leaving the room."

"That's fine, Neela its Abby can you hear me?"

"Neela, do you know what happened to you?"

"Abby, where's Ray?"

"He is right here honey, Neela do you remember what happened today?"

"I had an argument with Ray he told me to get out he hates me."

"No, Neela I don't hate you I love you." Shouted Ray from the other side of the room.

Ray's heart started to ache thinking about her last memory of him, and their relationship.

"Neela do you remember anything else?"

"I was crying and I took some pills and had a drink, then everything blanked out."

"Neela honey you tried to overdose on pills."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so stupid."

"Neela you where scared and needed help."

"I was so upset and I was tried, of always messing up my life."

"Neela, you did not do this Tony was black mailing you and don't worry he will get his. Just be here for Ray and I think you two need to have a conversation."

"What is wrong Abby, Ray what is wrong?"

Neela looked at both Ray and Abby with fear in her eyes. Ray walked over to her and brushed the hair out of her eyes and looked into her eyes and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Hey Rasgostra you gave me a little scare there."

"I'm sorry Ray, I was afraid to lose you. I didn't mean to lie to you I just did not want you to go after Tony and make the situation worse."

"Neela, like Abby said he will get his but we have to talk about something more important then Gates."

"What is that?"

"Neela, have you been feeling a little different lately?"

"Well, now that you mentioned it I have been feeling a little more tired then usual, but I have been stressed out about the whole Gates thing."

"Neela, do you love me?"

"Ray, Of course I do."

"Could you see yourself with me in the future?"

"Yes, but Ray what are you getting at?"

"One more question."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Can you see us having children together?"

"Yes, Ray now please tell me why all these questions?"

"Well, when you came in today it was discovered that we are…well having a baby. Actually we are having two babies, we are having twins."

"Twins!!!"
