DREAMCH9

The Baby store. Bobbie, V and Alexis are walking up and down the aslies looking at baby clothes. V and Alexis have no idea what they are doing.

�Okay, so you�re both having girls?� Bobbie asked them.

�Yes.� V and Alexis said glancing nervously at each other.

�Well that narrows it down a little bit. Okay, who wants to go first?� Bobbie inquired.

�You go ahead.� V said to Alexis gesturing.

�Okay, come on Alexis� Bobbie said linking her arm through Alexis� and leading her through the asiles. V wonders away looking at the other baby items.

�Alexis have you thought about a theme for the nursery?� Bobbie

�Um�No.� Alexis admitted.

�It�s okay, it�s okay. I didn�t either with my daughters.� Bobbie told her.

�Okay, well what about�.� Alexis trailed off, not knowing what to say.

�How about a Cinderella theme?� Bobbie suggested.

Alexis� eyes lit up at the idea.

�I guess that�s a yes then.� Bobbie said and they both laughed and headed towards the baby room things.

V has walked to the upstairs part of the store and is looking at things on a rack at the edge of stairs.

�Hmm�this is cute.� V said muttering to herself while holding up a sky blue dress.

Then V started to feel dizzy. V reached out to grab the railing so she wouldn�t fall but missed and she slowly tumbled down the stairs but not before screaming for her life and for her daughter�s life.

Across the store, Bobbie and Alexis who were laughing heard the scream.

�That�s V.� Alexis told Bobbie alarmed.

And they both rushed to where the scream had come from.

�V!!� Alexis screamed kneeling down next to her. V was lieing in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs.

Several sales people were standing around shocked wondering what to do.

Tears were streaming down Alexis� face and she was hysterical.

�Alexis, Alexis you need to calm down.�Bobbie said pulling her friend up by the arm and hugging her. After a few minutes they let go, Alexis much calmer.

�Alexis, you can�t break down like that. It�s not good for the baby.� Bobbie warned.

�Oh my god, the baby! V�s baby!� Alexis yelled but quickly calmed down remebering Bobbie�s warning.

Bobbie quicly went into Nurse mode.

Bobbie quickly dialed the hostpital. � Hi. This is Bobbie Spencer. I need anamblance at Baby R US. I have a 29 year old woman, twenty-five weeks pregnant.� Bobbie said into the phone and hung up.

Alexis looked paniced and scared for her friend.

~*~

General Hostpital. V is laying in ICU hooked up to many machines with tubes all over. Alexis sits beside her bed talking to her. Bobbie is on duty but checks in every once in a while. V has lost the baby but she�s in a coma and so she doesn�t know.

Amy walks in.

�Hey Alexis, we�ve tried Simon on all the numbers we have and can�t get him.� Amy said.

�I�ll try.� Alexis told her tearfully.

�Alexis, be careful. We don�t want you to lose your baby too.� Amy said smiling at her.

�Sure.� Alexis said with a weak smile.

Amy leaves.

Alexis takes her cell phone out and dials a number.

Cut to Ned in Jax�s Penthouse.

�Hello?� Ned says.

�Hi. It�s me.� Alexis says in an upset tone.

�What�s wrong?� Ned asks noticing the fear in her voice.

�V is in the hostpital. She fell down the stairs. Tell Simon he needs to get here ASAP.� Alexis said quietly.

The hostpital. Alexis is in the lobby drinking coffee. Simon, Ned, Jax, Chloe and Brenda all rush in with Simon in the lead.

�Alexis where is she?� he asked worried.

�Simon, Simon, calm down for just a minute. She�s in ICU. There�s a couple things you need to know first.� She says. Simon sits down beside her.

�V is in a coma and..� Alexis trailed off.

�And she lost the baby.� Simon said on the verge of tears.

Alexis nodded sorrowfully.

Simon walked into V�s room to talk to her.

Alexis and Ned watched from the window.

�I can�t imagine how hard it is going to be for her once she finds out that she lost the baby.� Alexis said to Ned.

�I can only imagine.� Ned said to her.

�Well I�m not going to lose Kristen.�

�Hello dears!� Ned and Alexis heard a voice behind her. They turned to see Lila who was being pushed by Reginald.

�Lila, what are you doing here?� Alexis said smiling fondly at the older woman.

�Hi Grandmother. I�ll be right back Okay?� Ned said before rushing off.

�Come here dear.� Lila said to Alexis, gesturing for her to sit down.

�Lila, I wanted to ask your opion on something.� Alexis said.

�Of course, what is it?� Lila asked smiling kindly.

�Well we found out we�re having a girl and we would like to name it Kristen Lila, if that�s� okay with you.� She said to the elderly woman.

�Well that�s wonderful dear! We can always use more strong woman like yourself in this family. And of course it�s okay with me.� Lila told her.

�Thank you Lila.� Alexis said.

�Alexis, I would be honored if you would call me Grandmother.� Lila told her.

�I would love to.� Alexis said shocked.

�I do have one question dear.� Lila asked Alexis.

�What?� Alexis questioned.

�Why Kristen?� Lila asked.

�It was my Mother�s name.� Alexis said quietly looking down at her lap.

�I�m so sorry you lost your parents so young.� Lila said.

Then Ned walks up.

�Hello all.� Ned said with one hand behind her back.

�Honey, what do you have behind your back there?� Alexis inquired her husband.

�Well, we must go.� Lila said nodding to reginald.

�Bye Grandmother.� They said in uniason.

�Now, sit down here and show me what you have.� Alexis said patting the seat next to her.

�Okay.� Ned agreed. He took his hand out and revealed a large velvet box.

Alexis took it and opened it to reveal a silver neclace with a birthstone on it.

�Honey, it�s beautiful but this isn�t my birthstone.� She told him.

�I know. It�s Kristen�s.� Ned said smiling. Alexis� facial expression changed in an instance from happiness to awe.

�Oh honey.� Alexis said getting all teary eyed and hugging her husband glad to have him back.

�Honey what�s wrong?� Ned asked.

�Nothing. Nothing. I�m just so happy that you forgave me.� Alexis said pulling away tears streaming down her face.
