Unwelcome Guests

Bobbie and Jason were discussing Carly's platelet infusion and hoping that the procedure would be a complete success so Carly could recover from the baby's traumatic birth. It was at that moment that Tony Jones showed up, demanding to see the baby and asking all sorts of questions. Jason stared at in disdain, wishing he could keep the obsessed doctor far away from Carly and the vulnerable newborn baby.

"Why isn't anyone telling me the condition of MY son?!" Dr Jones exclaimed. "I want to see him immediately."

Jason stood between the nursery and . No way was he allowing him anywhere near the baby or Carly. "Tony, Jason's name is on the the baby's birth certificate. He is Carly's power of attorney. You have no right to..." Bobbie said.

"I have EVERY right. The baby is MINE!"

"I don't think so," Jason spoke up. "Not after what Carly told me. There is no way you're the father. You struggled in the bedroom. If you couldn't keep an erection or ejaculate, how could you have made a baby?"

Dr. Jones glared at Jason as Bobbie looked on in shock. "Shut up! It's MY baby!" Tony cried out.

"He's a baby, not an IT. And he doesn't belong to you," Jason said firmly. "Now leave the hospital. Do not harass Carly and never again come near my son;"

"I want to see the medical records," Tony insisted as he snatched them out of Bobbie's hand. As he looked at the records, he read it there in black and white - the baby's blood type. It was not compatible with his. Tony Jones was definitely not the father.

He looked visibly shaken as he handed the medical records back to Bobbie. "I can't believe it. Carly lied to me. The WHOLE time."

He set his gaze on Jason. "I guess you won. The kid is yours!"

"This isn't some sort of game or competition. This is a child... and his life is hanging in the balance. He has a heart defect and his mother almost died giving birth to him. If you don't leave now, I will have to..." Jason said in warning.

"What are you going to do, murder me?" Tony said in a growl. "Or will you have one of your bodyguards do it for you?

"Tony, you should leave. This isn't the time or the place," Bobbie said. "This is a hospital. You know better than to cause such a commotion."

"Okay, I will leave, but this isn't over. That baby should be MINE," Tony said hatefully before he walked out that door.

"I'm sorry that happened, Jason. I know you have a lot on your mind," said Bobbie.

"It's not your fault. You've been nothing but supportive."

A moment later, the neonatal doctor arrived to talk to Jason about the newborn's condition. "The medicine isn't helping to close the duct as we had hoped. I am afraid your son will need immediate surgery or he will die," the doctor stated.

"Alright. Do whatever is necessary to save him," Jason agreed. "I will sign the consent papers for surgery."

Jason had no more signed the consent papers when the Quartermaines showed up, demanding to see the brand-new baby Quartermaine. "Where is he? Where is my great grandson?" Edward demanded.

"He's about to go in for surgery," Bobbie explained.

"Why?" Monica asked in concern.

"He has a heart condition," Bobbie replied. "Once they close that duct in his heart and it has a chance to heal, he'll be fine."

"Ohhh dear," said Lila. "I do hope the little one will be alright."

"Try not to worry, Lila. AJ and Jason were born with a heart condition as well, but they were both strong. I'm sure this baby boy will be, too. What did you name him, Jason?" Monica asked.

"He doesn't have a name yet. Carly's unconscious."

"He doesn't have a name yet?" Edward cried out in disapproval. "How about Edward? He should have a Quartermaine name. It's only fitting."

Jason sighed. He was tired of the incessant questions. The Quartermaines and their jabbering made his head hurt. "Why don't you all go home now? I will call you if there's any news," Bobbie promised Monica and the rest of the Quartermaine family. "Jason was just going to clean up... and get a little rest."

Thankfully Renaldo had brought Jason a fresh change of clothes. Finally he could get out of his blood-stained clothing. He wanted to clean up and rest for a little while, until the baby or Carly needed him. Emily kissed Jason's cheek before the Q's left the hospital.

"Are you okay, Jason?" Bobbie asked in concern after the Quartermaines had reluctantly left. "You look exhausted."

"I'll be fine. I just need to see Carly. When can I see her?"

"Why don't you go into the men's restroom, change your clothes, and wash up. After you come out, I should have more word on Carly. I will ask her doctor if you could go visit her."

"Thank you, Bobbie," Jason said sincerely. "You've been amazing throughout this whole ordeal. I won't forget how you helped Carly and our baby boy."

Bobbie smiled. She truly liked Jason and she thought he was good for Carly. "Carly's lucky to have a guy like you," Bobbie stated. "She better hang on to you, because I can tell you adore her and that little boy."

"I would do anything for Carly," Jason said before he and Bobbie parted ways.
