"I know that it hurts, Heath, but you have to be rational. You have two beautiful sons that adore you. You have a husband that needs you. Think of them, Heath." Justin said softly.

Heath shook his head. His handsome face was lowered to the bed, and his muscular arms were loosely secured around his flat stomach. "I want her back, Justin! I want to be with my baby!"

"Shh…" Justin consoled him, tenderly stroking the arm that was closest to him. "I know, Heath. I know. It's not fair that you had to lose her. But she wouldn't want you to react like this. She wouldn't want you to talk like this."

Heath looked at Justin, no emotion on his face. "I want to be with my baby."

Justin shook his head. "I understand that, Heath. When I lost my first baby, I felt the same. I wanted to be with him. I wanted to hold him. But then I had Rosita. I still miss my first baby, and I'm sorry that I could never meet him. But there's always the chance for another baby, Heath."

"I should've done more to defend her. I should've taken better care of her. I don't deserve happiness, that's the reason she was taken from me. Jay will realize how useless I am soon. He'll take JJ and DJ, and I'll be all alone."

"No." Justin shook his head. "Jay would never do that to you."

Heath looked up at his best friend, his face as hard as steel. "I've made my decision, Justin. I want to be with Isabelle. I want to hold my baby."

When Adam finally made it back to the hospital, visiting hours had just started. The nurses at the front desk smiled at him as he made his way to Randy's room, a bouquet of fresh roses in his hand from the Gift Shop downstairs. Roses were of extreme sentimental value between them. Randy, ever the gentleman, had given them to Adam on their first date. That was when Adam knew that he was head-over-heels for The Viper. And on the day Adam was forced to retire, there had been a bouquet of fresh flowers waiting for him in his hotel room – from Randy, of course.

Adam set the flowers on the windowsill, loving how the simple addition seemed to brighten up the room considerably. He turned back to Randy, who still lay as still as ever. A nurse carefully adjusted the medication in his IV, before she scribbled a few notes on his clipboard and made her exit. Adam took a seat in the EZ-chair next to the bed and carefully took Randy's hand. The hand tensed around his ever so slightly, the fingers curling around his hand just enough to give a little shape. Adam smiled a little bit.

"Randy… I know everything now. I know what that bastard did to you, how he hurt you. It doesn't make you any less of a man. In fact, I think it makes you extremely brave to have endured all of that. Stu can't hurt you anymore, baby. And I know about the baby, too. She's beautiful and looks so much like you,

"I'm not mad at you for hitting me, baby. I'll admit that I was a little scared at first, but I never should have let you run off like that. I can't help but feel like this is partially my fault that you're in this hospital bed. If I had stopped you before you left, this would be a totally different conversation,

"I love you, Randy. I never stopped loving you, nor will I ever stop loving you. You'll never totally forget about your past, but I want to help you move on to a better future. You, me, Kimberly, and Alannah… we're all a family. I want us to be together, the way we were meant to be,

"So please, baby, open up those blue eyes and look at me."

Silence fell over the room, and Adam was worried that his entire speech had fallen on deaf ears. But then, Randy's facial muscles twitched. Slowly, ever so slowly, his blue eyes flickered open and took in the light for the first time in over seventy-two hours. The eyes flickered over to Adam, and the poor blond's heart almost stopped. Leaping out of the chair, he threw his arms (as delicately as he could, mindful of all of the wires) around Randy's body and pulled him close. Tentatively, Randy's arms wrapped around him in turn.

Jeff sat on the curb as the police took Maryse's statement, smoking his third cigarette. He was abnormally shaky, but he figured that that was from the shock of the entire situation. He had lost the first two cigarettes simply because they had fallen out of his hands before he could light them. When he was finally able to light the third, it trembled so terribly in his hand that he was afraid that he would break it in half. He took a deep breath to calm himself and rose off of the curb as an officer came over to take his statement.

The young woman asked him what had happened, and Jeff explained that he had turned into the lane to return home after being sent home from work on an impromptu maternity leave when Maryse rear-ended him. He didn't remember whether he had cut her off or not, but it was possible that he had. The officer looked him over and said that if he was pregnant, he should be checked out by the EMTs. Kindly, Jeff refused. His car was taken off-site by the tow truck, and once he was cleared to leave, he started to walk home…
