on One Day at a Time - Kim told Andy she thought that she was being punished

asked Dawn about her relationship with Shelley. Dawn covered by telling her that
they are just roommates - Donovan vowed to help Lukas get off from his murder
charges - Leah remembered Noah's death Scene One - Twin Peaks
General Hospital Kim slowly opens her eyes and looks around the hospital
room in which she was sleeping in. While she is expected to make a full recovery
from the car accident, Craig insisted that she spend the night in the hospital
as she just got out of shoulder surgery and because with the ice storm, it was
far too dangerous for her to drive home again. Plus, Kim knew that there was no
way she would be leaving the hospital, anyways, as she couldn't leave Blake's
side. Still, after the ordeal that she had gone through, getting some sleep seemed
like a good idea. She groans in pain a little as she sits up in the bed,
her shoulder throbbing as the medication has left her body. She looks over and
sees Tyler, sleeping in a chair in her hospital room. She is grateful that he
is with her right now because she knows that can't go through this ordeal with
Blake alone; Their son is brain dead and he will never wake up again. She still
has to have some hope that something could change, despite the doctors telling
her that it is a lost cause. And, she knows that this is all her fault.
"If only I didn't drive," she whispers to herself as tears fill her
eyes, recalling how she confessed her affair with Tyler to Bob and how she gave
Tyler the formula to the facial cream the day before and Bob demanded a divorce.
"I put my son in danger. What was I thinking?" "You're
not to blame," Tyler says to her, as he opens her eyes and looks at Kim.
"No one could have expected any of this to happen." "I
still shouldn't have driven in that storm," she tells him. "Has the
rain stopped?" Tyler stands up and stretches his back, which is
uncomfortable from sleeping in the chair. He moves to the window of the hospital
room and looks outside. Sure enough, the rain has stopped. The sun is out, and
the ice has already started to melt. "The storm is over," he tells her.
"The sun is out." "It doesn't seem fair," Kim bites
her lower lip. "How one night can change the rest of our lives?"
"Have you thought about what Andy said last night?" Kim
looks back at him with intent. "It was insane," she tells him. "Giving
my son's lungs to Jacob? What if Blake comes back to us? What if he hears us pleading
with him and he opens his eyes? I can't do it, Tyler. I can't give my boys lungs
to Jacob." Tyler moves to the bed and sits next to Kim, grabbing
her hand. "I know what you mean," he whispers back to her.
"What are you thinking?" Tyler looks up to her with damp eyes.
"That maybe Andy is right," he admits to her. "I hate to say it,
but Blake, he's never coming back to us. He's gone, Kim
" "No!"
Kim cuts him off as a tear falls down her cheek. "He's not gone! He's not!
He
he just needs to rest. Then, he'll be back. You'll see, I'm telling
you, I know him. He's my son!" "He's my son too!" Tyler
protests to her. "You don't think that I want him to open his eyes and come
back to us? But, we have to be honest. He's gone and
We could save Jacob's
life." "I don't want to hear this," Kim snaps at him.
"I'm going to see Blake, I'm going to see my son." Tyler sighs
as he watches Kim get out of bed and moves to the door of the hospital room. He
covers his face as a tear falls out of his eye as well. He hates that Blake is
done, but he realizes that if they can help Jacob make it through this ordeal,
then they should. One loss of life is better than two, he thinks to himself.
*** "How were the roads this morning?" Robin asks
Adam as they sit in the cafeteria, having a coffee together. Robin hasn't wanted
to leave the hospital yet, because she knows that Tyler needs her right now. But,
she can't help but think about the previous night, when she and Adam were alone
together and they almost made love. While she thought that they were growing closer,
neither one really had made a move romantically; now that they have, she can't
deny that she is very attracted to him. "Pretty icy still,"
Adam replies to her. "But, the city had a lot of sand trucks and plows out
to remove as much ice as possible. They are still suggesting that people stay
off the roads." "At least the storm is over," Robin says
back to him before she takes a sip of the coffee. "Thanks for coming this
morning." Adam reaches over and grabs her hand. "I'd like to
think that I can be here for you during the good and bad times," he admits
to her. "I mean, last night, if we didn't find out about this accident, we
would have
" Robin purses her lips together. "And, don't
me wrong," she says back to him. "I'd still like that to happen, very
much." "Yea?" Adam smiles back to her. "Because,
I'd like it to happen too. I mean," he starts to chuckle. "You're hot,
any guy would like it to happen." Robin laughs back to him. "I
feel like I'm back in high school or something." "I think that's
a good sign, don't you?" "Yea," Robin smiles back to him.
"I've really grown to appreciate this friendship." "You
know that we are about to cross that line, though, right?" "I'm
ready," she tells him. "For so long, I was with Cory and when that ended,
I guess I just needed time before I realized that I do want something, someone,
else in my life. I want that person to be you." Adam leans across
the table and kisses her. "I want to be that guy for you too," he says
as their lips part, unaware that Max and Cassie have entered the cafeteria, so
Max can see the two of them kissing. Max fumes a little, knowing that he wants
to be the one kissing Robin, not Adam. "Is everything okay?"
Cassie asks her son, suddenly realizing his change in body language.
"Yea, I'm fine," he lies to his mother, since the wheels in his head
are spinning about how he can get Robin away from Adam and with him. "How
are things with Jacob?" Cassie sighs as she orders a coffee and
a muffin from the cafeteria. "Well," she tells him. "If he doesn't
get a transplant soon, he will
" "God, that's awful,"
Max cuts her off before she can finish her sentence. "I can't imagine what
Shane and Natasha are going through." "Neither can I,"
she tells him. "That's why I'm so happy that you're happy and healthy. I
don't know what I would do
" "Never mind that," he
says as he hugs her. "I'm fine. And, I'm about to get everything I want."
"Good," Cassie holds him closer. "That's all a mother wants
to hear," she says, Max looks back at Robin and Adam sitting together.
*** "I'm glad that you convinced me to come this morning,"
Helen tells Barbara as they walk down the hallway of the hospital. Helen knew
that Barbara was coming to the hospital to volunteer since there were so many
accidents the previous day because of the ice storm and over breakfast, Barbara
convinced her to join her. Helen knows that the hospital was overrun, so she feels
like she is able to give back in a positive way. "Me too,"
Barbara tells her daughter. "It's just so awful, all the devastation the
storm created." "It's true," Helen replies to her. "I
mean, I feel awful for Kim, Tyler, Daisy and Trenyce. I can't imagine what they
are going through." "No one expects the end," Barbara
says back to her. "Look at how suddenly my Reg was taken from us. God, though,
he has a plan and none of us should question that." "It's still
hard to see people we are close to suffer." "We have to be
strong right now," Barbara reminds her. "We have to be strong for our
friends and our family." "Our family?" Helen asks her,
surprised by what Barbara just said to her. "What's going on with our family?"
Barbara pauses as she thinks about the previous night during the storm when
she was trapped at the Sugarbowl and she saw Dawn leave the coffeehouse with that
older woman; when she confronted her Granddaughter about it, Dawn claimed that
they were just roommates. However, there is something more going on between them,
Barbara can feel it, she just doesn't know what it is exactly. "I
can't explain it," Barbara admits to her daughter as they look at one another.
"I just have this feeling in my stomach that something horrible is going
to happen." Helen pulls her mother into a hug. "I hope it's
just the storm that's got you scared," Helen tells her. "And, that's
over now. The sun came out today. There'll be no more bad news, okay?"
Barbara grabs the cross around her neck and uneasily smiles back to Helen.
"I hope and pray you're right." *** "Dawn,
I'm glad I ran into you," Cassie tells the young woman, as she approaches
the nurses station where Dawn is working. She didn't think she would see Dawn
today, but she is glad that she is because, Cassie knows that Dawn is still struggling
with something; she's indicated as much in their therapy sessions together.
"Cassie, hi," Dawn smiles as she looks up from the large stack
of files that she has to put away. She has still been working at the hospital
as a candy striper, and now has hopes to become a nurse. "How are things
with Jacob? I don't want to intrude because I know that I'm probably the last
person Shane and Natasha want to see right now." Cassie tries to
put a brave face on. "It's not looking good, if I am honest with you,"
she tells her. "Look, with everything going on here, I'm afraid I'll have
to cancel our therapy session today." "That's fine," Dawn
replies to her quickly. "I'm pretty swamped here today, as you can imagine.
I'm glad that you were able to survive the storm." "Yea, that
accident with Kim and Jemma was bad enough for most of us, I think."
"Awful, isn't it? I'm hoping everyone makes it out okay."
Cassie smiles back to her, wondering what the change in Dawn is. She can't put
her finger on it, but she can sense that something is different with her today.
"Look, I know I'm not your therapist right now," Cassie tells her. "But,
I also know that you're struggling with something. And, Dawn, if this storm has
taught us anything, it is that life is too short not to live to the fullest. So,
I'm going to tell you that whatever you're struggling with, the truth, it will
set you free." Dawn feels her cheeks blush a little. "Thank
you," she manages to say back to her. "I'll keep that in mind."
*** "I got you this coffee," Paige tells Leah,
as she moves into the waiting room where her Mom is sitting. Paige is excited
to talk to her mother this morning because she recalls how the previous night,
Leah seemingly had a memory flash. Paige only hopes that this means that her Mom's
memory is on its way back; she could finally remember everything about her past,
including giving birth to Paige. "Thanks baby," Leah says as
she accepts the coffee from her daughter. "Have you heard from you heard
from Robbie today?" Paige drinks some of her coffee before looking
back at her Mom. "I think he was with Grandpa Bob," Paige replies to
her. "He hasn't left, he's so worried about Jacob." "I
know, and now this mess with Kim and Blake
who knew that one night could
change so many lives." "Can I ask you something?" Paige
asks her, as Leah nods back to her. "Have you had any more memories since
last night?" Leah drinks some of her coffee. "Just bits and
pieces," she admits to her daughter. "All about Noah dying; It's been
rough getting those memories back. My son, he was so small." Paige
grabs her mother's hand. "I know," she tells her. "But, we have
to look at the positives, right? After all, your memory is coming back. Soon,
that means that you'll remember everything. Isn't that what we've been waiting
for?" Leah nods back to her. "It is," she tries to smile
back to her daughter. "It is what everyone has been waiting for."
*** "Did you get any sleep at all last night?"
Donovan asks Victoria, who is sitting at her desk in her office, while Donovan
sits up from the sofa. Victoria let Donovan sleep on the sofa last night, because
she didn't want him driving home in the storm. "Not much,"
Victoria admits to him. "There's been too much work to do. How about you?
Did you actually sleep?" "Yea I did," Donovan replies
to her. "I was so tired. It seemed like one of the longest nights of my life."
"Yours and mine," Victoria tells him. "It doesn't look good
for Jemma or Blake." "My God," Donovan whispers in horror.
"I can't imagine what Andy and Trenyce are going through."
"Yea, they are going to need your support. How are things with Lukas? Have
you heard anything today?" Donovan shakes his head as he checks
his phone. "I was going to go see him last night, but with the storm, I thought
it would be best to stay here." "I'm glad you did that because
we didn't anyone else hurt," Victoria tells him. "Yea, but
Meggan told me that Simona had set a trial date, so we are running out of time
to prove his innocence." "I'm sorry," Victoria tells him.
"I wish there was something I could do." Before Donovan can
reply, there's a knock on Victoria's office door. "Come in," she says,
as a courier comes into her office. "Donovan Moretti?" he asks as Donovan
stands up. "You've been served." "What on earth?"
Victoria asks her brother as he opens the envelope that he just received. "What
is it?" "The prosecution," Donovan reads the paper in
his hand. "They've subpoenaed me to testify against Lukas. I'm going to be
testifying against the man I love." *** Natasha
comes out of the ICU where Jacob is still in the incubator. It is another morning,
and there is still no change with her son. She knows that if Jacob doesn't get
a donor soon, he won't survive. She looks up and sees Shane and Bob waiting for
her in the hallway of the hospital. She takes off her face mask and moves up to
her father, collapsing in tears in his arms. "It's okay," Bob
tells his daughter as he holds her. "Let it out. Let it all out."
Natasha finally stops sobbing and looks up at her father and then over to
Shane. "He's so small," she says, wiping her eyes. "If he doesn't
get help soon
" "I know," Shane admits to her. "I've
been trying to stay positive for so long, but there's only so long we can wait."
"I'm glad you are all here," Craig announces to the three of them,
as he emerges from the ICU. "Has something happened?" Bob asks
the doctor. "I'm afraid nothing good," Craig tells them. "I
just checked Jacob's vitals, and the infection has spread into the right lung.
He doesn't have much more time. I'm terribly sorry." "Oh God,"
Natasha covers her mouth as more tears fall from her eyes. "My baby boy!
Not my baby boy
" Shane moves up to her and holds her as they
both start to cry. "This isn't fair," Shane whispers into her ear. "This
isn't fair!" From the end of the hallway, Kim watches the scene
unfold, her heart slowly breaking as she overheard Craig tell Shane and Natasha
that their son was going to die. She feels her heartbreak inside her chest as
she carries on towards Blake's room, however, the sight of Shane and Natasha in
one another's arms, doesn't leave her mind for a second. Not even when she looks
down and sees Blake laying in his hospital bed. Kim hears the respirator and puts
her hand on it for a moment. Then she looks back to Blake and covers her mouth.
"Is it the right thing to do?" she asks herself as she looks at
her baby. She crawls into the bed next to her son and holds him as she sobs, desperately
trying to figure out what she should do. "No,"
she says as she holds Blake in her arms. "You'll come back to me. You'll
me my miracle," she says as tears stroll down her face. "You'll wake
up and everything will go back to normal. I know you will, because you can't leave
me. You are my special guy, right? Just wake up Blake, please wake up."
