The Tower's; Floor Eight; Victoria's Condo

Vinny slowly steps off the elevator of the Tower's and moves up to the front door of Victoria's condo. He has been to her condo many times before and he knows that once you move inside the door, immediately to the left is the washroom. He holds his ear to the door and can faintly hear the shower running.

"Perfect," he whispers to himself as he pulls out a bobby pin and moves it the door lock. He fiddles with it a bit but finally hears the door click open.

He carefully opens the door and moves inside, clearly hearing the shower running now. He is there to put his next phase of his plan into motion within regards to getting revenge on Victoria for finding Daisy and Brett in the Victors mansion and exposing his plan to keep them hostage. He peers into the kitchen and scans the area for Victoria's phone. He then moves into the living room and sees it laying on the coffee table. He rushes over to it and puts a small chip on the back side of it. He rubs it on the phone case to make it appear that it is not there. He lays it back down on the coffee table and prepares to leave.

He freezes, though, when he hears the shower stop. He looks around and wonders where he can hide. He quickly moves back to the front door and calls Victoria's cell phone. She scurries out of the washroom and moves into the living room; once she is there, Vinny leaves the apartment unseen and doesn't answer the call when Victoria picks up.

He smiles to himself as he walks to the elevator. He opens his phone and activates a device. "Turn on device," he whispers to himself as he steps on to the elevator. "Yup, that's exactly what I want to do," he chuckles to himself.

Meanwhile, in Victoria's apartment, she hangs up the call from "Brett". "Weird, he must have pocket dialed me," she says putting the phone down. "Okay, I have to get ready to meet Donovan and Lukas' baby. I can't be late."

As she moves back to the washroom, she can't help but hear a faint whistling noise, unaware it is coming from her phone and the device Vinny planted on it.

The Pampa Grill

Natasha picks up her coffee and takes a sip as she thinks about the previous day's events. Before the party she threw for Jacob and Paige welcoming them home from Banff, she and Tyler made love. She has no idea how or why it happened but she can't deny that it felt amazing. She was just thinking that they could be more than just friends with benefits when Daisy was revealed to be alive; she understood when Tyler ended their affair to be with Daisy, but neither one of them have been able to get the other out of their heads.

On top of that, she learned that Robbie and Kim are sleeping together. She can't believe that her brother would be so foolish to sleep with Kim after everything that has happened between them the last few years. And, to end the evening, Eva hugged her since she was relieved that Jacob was safe from Cassie's evil plans. She is thrilled that her mother reached out to her since they had been at odds since Eva found out that Natasha knew that Kim wanted to hire Will to seduce her mother.

"You look a million miles away this morning," a voice calls out causing Natasha to look up from her coffee. She sees Tyler standing in front of her. "Lots on your mind?"

"Considering my son almost died the other day, I guess I do," she purses her lips together.

"How was the party? I hope he enjoyed the surprise," Tyler replies to her as he sits across from her.

"The party was eventful," she uneasily chuckles back to him. "Aren't they usually in this town?"

"I haven't been able to stop thinking about what we did before the party," Tyler admits to her as they lock eyes. "I hadn't realized how much I had missed you, Nat."

"I've been thinking about it too Tyler," Natasha nods back to him. "And the fact is, I'm not going to be the other woman in this situation. I get that things are tense between you and Daisy right now, but you have to make up your mind who you want to be with. I won't be the side woman," Natasha informs him. "That's not fair to me, Daisy or you."

Tyler uneasily looks back at her as he suddenly feels embarrassed. "I guess I have some soul searching to do."

"Yea, you do," Natasha tells him quickly. "Let me know what you decide, whatever that may be."

"Thanks for meeting me this morning," Max tells Robin as they sit at another table together. Max, after the previous night's events, knew that he had to talk to Robin about what happened with Adam. "You're looking very pregnant, by the way."

Robin uneasily chuckles back to him. "The baby is getting bigger each day," she tells him. "The fact is, this is why Adam rushed out on me that night he got in the accident. I had to tell him that he isn't the father. He wasn't pleased with me."

Max arches his eyebrow back to her. "I can imagine that he would be upset by that," he says back to her. "But, he loves you Robin, he would have forgiven you, especially if you two were on the break when it happened."

"I hope you're right," Robin takes a sip of her sparkling water. "Every day that goes by that Adam doesn't remember, I get more and more worried that he will never get his memory back."

"I don't think you have to worry about that," Max reveals to her. "I was with him last night and he told me he was starting to have these flashes. He remembered the part of the accident at the boutique a few years ago."

"What? Really?"

"Yea, he was foggy on the details and I filled him in."

"Oh wow," Robin shakes her head back in surprise. "If Helen hears that you filled him in, she will lose it. She is determined to have Adam's memories come back on his own."

"She has a point," Max admits to her. "After I told him what happened, he started to hyperventilate. I had to call Helen to calm him down, which he was by the time she arrived."

"Well, I still think this is good news that he is starting to remember," Robin nods back to him. "Now, I just need him to remember everything and things can go back to normal."

Robertson Enterprises

Eva opens the door to Dominick's office and storms inside. She throws her purse down on the sofa and then turns to face her husband, who is sitting behind his desk.

"Good morning to you too," Dominick huffs back to her, annoyed that Eva has barged into the office without knocking. "I'm about to head to a meeting, but by all means, come on in."

"This isn't funny," Eva moves closer to his desk. "We have to talk, Dominick and it is serious."

"What could be more serious than you sleeping with Will behind my back?" he stands up and moves to the bar to pour himself a coffee. "If that's what you want to discuss, I'm afraid I have no interest in beating that dead horse again."

"This has nothing to do with my indiscretion with Will Coutts," Eva turns to face him. "This has everything to do with you kissing your ex-wife!"

Dominick folds his arms over his chest as a sly grin comes across his face. "Ah, so Felicia told you that she kissed me?"

"No, I saw it for myself!" Eva hisses to him. "I came to see you and imagine my surprise when I opened the door and saw you locking lips with that menace!"

Dominick chuckles back to her. "You have a lot of nerve getting upset with me for sharing a kiss with the woman I share children with when you have been sleeping your way around town!"

"I made a mistake!" Eva cries to him. "I don't want to fight you with about Will, he is out of my life and I am focused on our marriage, Dominick. But it is hard to stay focused when you are making out with Felicia!"

"You have no right to be upset with me Eva," Dominick scolds her. "And, based on how much we are fighting right now, I'm beginning to wonder if our marriage is even worth saving!"

"Don't you say that," Eva points her finger at him. "Don't you dare say that Dominick! I love you and I know, despite everything, you love me too!"

"Sometimes," Dominick whispers back to her. "Love isn't enough."

One Day House

"You did a great job while I was away," Nicholas tells Cory as they stand together in Nicholas' office of the One Day house. It is his first day back to the One Day House after he took some personal days off to help Andy get settled from being back from rehab. In his mind, it was the first test for Cory as a relatively new hire to the house. Seeing how smoothly things appear to be, he now feels validated that hiring Cory was the smart thing to do.

"Thanks," Cory smiles back to him. "I can't tell you how much work this place is when you're by yourself. I can see why you brought someone on to help."

Nicholas chuckles back to him. "I was feeling overwhelmed even before we got super busy! I'm glad that I snagged you when I did."

"It definitely is rewarding work, that's for sure."

"I'm glad you feel that way."

"I do have to talk to you about something," Cory looks back at his boss with intent. "There's someone interesting staying here."

Nicholas arches his eyebrow back to him. "Interesting? In what aspect?"

"I haven't spoken to him yet," Cory replies to him quickly. "But, there is a guy staying here that looks like Reese Wilkins. Reese is Andy's deceased partner."

Nicholas feels the blood drain from his face at the fact that the man Andy has been searching for has been staying in his half-way house. He feels his heart start to beat faster as he had hoped that Andy wouldn't track the guy down; he wanted this all to disappear.

"Nicholas, are you okay?" Cory asks as he notices Nicholas looking pale.

"Yea, yea, I'm fine," Nicholas turns away from him. "Just leave it with me, okay? I'll find out what's going on."

The Pampa Grill


Robin is moving towards the exit of the restaurant after her breakfast chat with Max when she happens to see Shane moving inside. She looks at the father of her child and realizes that she has to tell him the latest with Adam and Helen.

"Morning Shane," she moves up to him.

Shane sees Robin and gets a smile on his face as the sight of her and her pregnant belly makes him happy. "You look like you're glowing today," he tells her. "Join me for breakfast?"

"I just ate," she replies to him quickly. "And, I have a meeting at Robertson that I can't be late for but I wanted to tell you that Adam is starting to have memory flashes. He is getting his memory back."

"Really? That's great news," Shane nods back to her. "Once he gets his memory back, we will finally see where he stands with you and our baby."

"I just hope it's sooner rather than later," Robin tells him. "Because I suspect Helen is trying to take advantage of Adam and this situation."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, they are sharing a bed right now," Robin informs him. "I don't think anything sexual has happened yet but the longer Adam believes that they are still happily married, the more I fear they will cross that line. And that would be unforgivable for Helen to do."

"I agree with you," Shane tells her. "But, I need you to remain calm about this situation. Remember how you were cramping before. I don't want anything to risk the health of the baby."

"I know," Robin waves her hand back to him. "The sooner Adam gets his memory back, the better off we will all be."

***

The middle of the restaurant has been transformed into one large table as Donovan, Lukas, Meggan, Jeff, Eva and Natasha all sit around gushing over baby Olly, who is fast asleep and unaware of the fuss that is being made over him. After Donovan and Lukas were able to bring their new son home the previous day, they thought it would best to have a family breakfast to introduce everyone to Olly.

"I can't get over how cute he is," Eva tells her son, who rushed over after her meeting with Dominick. She doesn't want to think about that right now though because this is a joyous occasion. "I am so happy that I have another grandson."

"Thanks Mom," Donovan replies to her. "Lukas and I, we feel very blessed to have this adoption go so smoothly."

"There won't be any complications with the paper work?" Meggan asks her brother next, hoping that everything will be smooth sailing.

"Our social worker told us that everything would be processed accordingly," Lukas advises everyone. "There shouldn't be any issues."

"That's a relief," Jeff chimes in. "The last thing anyone would want would be a wrinkle."

"Knock on wood it all goes accordingly to plan," Donovan uneasily smiles back to him before he looks over at Lukas.

"Where is Victoria?" Lukas asks everyone. "It's not like here to be so late?"

"I wish I knew," Eva replies. "I texted her but haven't gotten a response.

"Sorry I'm late," Victoria rushes up to the table, clearly in a frantic because she is running behind. "Where's my nephew?"

She moves up to the stroller and peers inside to look at the sleeping baby. "He's so cute, Donovan, I'm so happy for you."

Victoria hugs her brother and then Lukas before she moves to her seat the table. "We were getting worried about you," Eva looks down the table to Victoria.

"Yea, sorry, I guess I just lost track of time," Victoria tells her before she takes a sip of her water and moves her hand to her head as she has a splitting headache. Eva notices her daughter's reaction and wonders what is going on with her, hoping that it is nothing serious.

"So, who changed the first diaper?" Meggan asks, as the group starts to chuckle back to the new parents.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I brought you a coffee from the Sugarbowl since I know the coffee in the cafeteria is not the best," Albertinah tells Andrew as she passes him a coffee in the waiting room of the hospital. "Did you get any sleep at all?"

"No," Andrew admits to her as he grabs the coffee and takes a sip. "I was with Abby for a while but she was blaming me for the baby's death."

"You know it's not your fault, right? This was a horrible twist of fate, nothing more," Albertinah tells him.

Andrew shakes his head back to her. Under normal circumstances he would form tears in his eyes but he has been crying so much overnight, his tear ducts are dry.

"She is right," he whispers back to her. "I did tell her to abort the baby. And, it was me pressing her to have an adoption. Never once did I want this child. So, why am I sad that he died? I have no right."

"Hey," Albertinah comes up to him and wraps her hands around him. "You have every right to feel sad, Andrew. The child that you brought into this world didn't survive, you wouldn't be human if you weren't some kind of emotions."

Andrew looks at her as they exit their embrace. "You're being far kinder to me than what I deserve."

"You listen to me Andrew," Albertinah looks at him with intent. "You are not to blame for this, you have to stop beating yourself up, okay?"

Andrew uneasily sighs back to her. "I'm not sure I'll be able too," he admits to her. "The child that I never wanted is gone forever; I'm not sure how I am going to live with myself going forward."

***

"How are you feeling this morning?" Brooke nervously asks Abby as she and Greg move into the hospital room and see their daughter laying in the bed. They know that the previous night would have been one of the hardest for Abby as she dealt with the loss of her son, but she is also recovering from having an emergency c-section. "You still have to take it easy while you recover from your surgery."

"I'm fine," Abby replies with a hoarse voice. "I just want to get out of here. I hate being trapped in this place."

"All in time Abby," Greg tells his daughter as he sits next to her on the bed. "You have to ensure you're healthy enough to leave."

"Please," Abby looks back at her parents with tears in her eyes. "This place just reminds me of what I have lost. My son, my beautiful baby is dead … this place is just a reminder of that!"

Brooke uneasily looks at Greg who looks back at Abby. "I'll see what I can do," Greg tells her. "in the meantime, Abby, you have to stay focused on your health, okay?"

Greg moves to the door and exits leaving Brooke and Abby alone. "Okay, your Dad was asking you about your own health," Brooke sits next to her. "But, now I want to know about your own mental health. Last night was probably tough. I can't imagine what you're feeling."

"I feel dead inside," Abby bites her lip before she looks at her mother. "How is it possible that I carried my baby for 9 months and he was born dead? I don't understand any of this."

"I know baby," Brooke gets tears in her eyes. "It is a tragic event that doesn't have an explanation."

"How am I going to move on?"

"I was thinking," Brooke tells her. "What if we named the child and held a small gathering for him, still to celebrate the short life he had. It might help you find some kind of closure."

Abby lets a tear fall down her cheek. "I don't want closure Mom," she gasps for air. "I want my baby! I want my son!"

Brooke pulls her into a hug as Abby starts to weep. "I know you do," Brooke holds her as she cries. "Let it out baby, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."
