A/N First off sorry this is so late. I was a day ahead and up until last night. Second there will not be a new chapter tomorrow due to some personal stuff going and not being a day ahead any more I don't have a chapter ready. This is more of a filler chapter so I don't go so long with out posting something new. I will have a new chapter up on Sunday.
Lastly I hope my readers will induldge me for just a moment (if not skip all the bold words and to find the newest chapter). Like other's on FanFiction I started writing this after what I felt was a very dissapointing Finale. I was inspired both by the lame ending they gave AMC and by another story on here, After the First Shot (which if you're not reading that one you should it's really good much better than this one I think). In that story my fav. character died the night of the shooting. I wrote this one to keep that character alive and then started coming up with my own version of what could have haappened. As I stated a few chapters ago this started out as a Greenlee and Leo story but was changed to help all of us AMC fan's deal with the time between the finale and when the show was going to come back online. As many fans may know AMC was bought by Prospect Park and was supposed to start online in January. According to news reports P.P. has decided to put plans to bring AMC back on hold and focus on OLTL. As a AMC fan this news wasn't shocking given what little news P.P. released about the show but was still hard pill to swallow. There are reports they hope to have it online by mid 2012 but given everything that has happened with the show this year I'm not optimistic about that happening. With all that said I plan on continuing this for a few months as I have some ideas already in my head. Past January I don't know if I'll be able to continue or not we shall see. Hopefully I am able to come up with some new ideas and storys. I know how hard it is for us fans to not have our favorite show on the air and how much stories like this one and the other stories on Fan Fiction help with the loss of the show and in someway make up for the way the show ended back in September.
Thank you once again for reading this story and all the comments that I have gotten. Knowing that people are reading the story and having someone review has helped me keep going with this even when the writers block get's bad. And now on to the story:
The two couples stood in silence. Bianca couldn't help but notice the shocked look on Greenlee's face. It wasn't the look on Greenlee's face that was bothering her. In Greenlee's eyes Bianca could not only see but feel the desperation and pain Greenlee was feeling at what should have been a simple request.
The tension inside the hallway was felt by everyone but Ryan, who couldn't seem to understand why Greenlee wasn't more excited about having a child. Bianca placed her hand on Marissa's back and started to guide her out of the hallway, "Guys we're going to go to the chapel we'll see you later.
Greenlee nodded her head at Bianca and gave her a thankful look.
Marissa followed Bianca away from the other couple. She looked at Bianca confused about what had happened back there. "Bianca I'm surprised Greenlee's not more excited about having a baby."
Bianca looked at her surprised by the statement, "What?" she tried to keep the tone of her voice low as not to show her anger at Marissa.
Marissa noticed the tension in Bianca's voice, "Well you know those two have been together off and on for so long. And Greenlee went to great lengths to keep Ryan from finding out Madison was pregnant. I just figured it was because she wanted to give him a child. I know she's still recovering but it's not like Ryan was saying to go make a baby right then and there."
"Wait. Don't you know?" Bianca asked.
"Know what?"
"Wow. Sometimes I forget you haven't always been around. I'll try and make a long story short. A few years ago Greenlee got pregnant. Ryan was scared he was going to be a bad father so he faked his own death thinking it would help Greenlee and the baby. Unfortunately Greenlee miscarried. The doctors said she would never be able to carry a child to term." Bianca knew she was leaving out a lot of the drama that had surrounded Greenlee and Ryan's baby but this wasn't the time or place to go over what had happened all those years ago.
"Oh my God. I didn't know. Poor Greenlee. So Ryan suggesting having a baby dug up a lot of buried emotions." Marissa now understood the look in Greenlee's eyes.
"Yeah it did. I'm really surprised Ryan would even bring it up. He knows what she went through and everything she did after the miscarriage to try and have a child. I mean that's the whole reason Spike is even here." Once again Bianca saw the confused look on Marissa's face, "Sorry another long story one of these days remind me to tell you the whole mess."
Erica and Jackson walked down the hospital corridors. They had been having lunch together at the Valley Inn when she asked him to come with her to sit with Bianca and Marissa. They had been spending as much time together a possible trying to get back what they had lost. Some days were easier than others but there were still times when the pain was as fresh as the night she had chosen her own dreams over their love.
Erica saw Bianca at the end of the hallway and grabbed Jackson's hand and led him towards her daughter.
"Bianca darling what are you two doing down here?" Erica was surprised to find them near the nursery and not in the waiting room or in the chapel.
"We were with Ryan and Greenlee looking at the new born babies. It was Ryan's way of trying to cheer us up and get my mind of AJ's surgery." Marissa chimed in.
"Greenlee's down here?" Jackson asked concerned. He knew she had physical therapy earlier and didn't think it was a good idea for Ryan to be dragging her all over the hospital when she should be resting. He was tired of having his daughter stuck in this damn place and didn't want Ryan's exuberance to cause her to have any setbacks. "Maybe I should go down there and see them."
Bianca grabbed his hand and pulled him back before he could go down the hallway, "Ryan and Greenlee asked for a few minutes alone." Marissa looked at the girl wondering why she was lying to Jackson but kept her mouth shut. "Marissa and I were just headed to the chapel why don't you guys join us?"
Erica agreed and the three women turned to head towards the chapel. Jackson stayed glued to the floor as he stared at the hallway leading toward the nursery wanting to know what was going on between Ryan and his daughter. Erica turned back to Jackson, "Jackson she'll be fine." She took his hand into her own and they joined Marissa and Bianca.
Marissa opened the door to the chapel and was surprised to find the room full of people. Everyone who had been at the party that fateful night was there now praying for her little boy.
