Twin Peaks General Hospital

"This can't be happening," Robin tells Shane and Victoria as she lays in the hospital bed trying to keep her breathing under control. The last few hours have moved very quickly for Robin as she went to Helen's house to see Adam only to learn that Helen and Adam slept together. Furious with Helen, Robin slapped her and another catfight broke out between the two women. Adam ended up breaking up the fight, which caused him to regain his memory, which means he remembered that Shane fathered Robin's baby. Adam was livid and that is when Robin's water broke, however, she knows that it is too early for her to have this baby, as she is only around 5 months pregnant. "I can't have this baby yet!"

"Breathe, breathe," Victoria coaches her patient. She has been in this position many times before and the best thing for Robin to do is try to stay calm. "I get that it is soon but your water broke, this baby is going to be here soon. As soon as the baby is here, I will take her to the ICU so she can be placed in an incubator and we can run tests to see how the baby is doing. Right now, the most important thing is to stay calm, breathe and push when you have a contraction."

"Please try to stay calm," Shane moves up to Robin and grabs her hand. "Everything will be okay, we just have to deliver the baby and it will all be okay."

"I hope so," Robin looks back at him in concern. Suddenly, she screams out in pain as she has another contraction. "Ahhhh!"

"Okay, I can see the head, keep pushing," Victoria tells her as she looks for the baby. "One more push and the baby should be out."

Robin pushes hard and groans out loudly. Shane grabs her hand and whispers words of encouragement as Victoria continues to tell her to push. Soon, a crying baby is in Victoria's arms. She looks over at Robin and smiles.

"You have a daughter," Victoria tells her as Robin lays back in the bed.

"A girl? We have a girl," she looks over at Shane with tears in her eyes.

"She's very tiny," Victoria responds to her. "I have to get her to the ICU so she can get into an incubator. Once you're feeling up to it, you can come visit her."

"Please make sure she's ok," Robin pleads with the doctor before she looks at Shane. "We have a girl, Shane. We have a beautiful baby girl."

"You did great," Shane leans down and kisses her forehead. "Our baby will be great too, she has to be."

***

"This is all happening too fast," Adam paces back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital while Helen sits in a chair. He can't believe that he got his memory back and then Robin went into labour; what is more jarring is that he walked in on Helen and Robin having another physical fight. "Getting my memory back and then Robin going into labour; she's only 5 months along, this is way too early for her to have the child."

"I just can't believe that Robin and I got into another fight," Helen shakes her head back to him. "If anything happens to that baby, I don't know what I will do with myself."

"You better hope that nothing does happen to that baby," Adam glares back at her. "Because, if anything does happen to him or her, Robin will never forgive you Helen."

"I know!" Helen snaps at him. "This entire thing is just a mess. We just have to get through this, Adam. Promise me you'll be there for me during this time. I can't go through this alone."

"Of course," Adam tells her. "But if something happens to that baby Helen, all bets are off."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas & Donovan's Home


"I need a drink," Lukas announces to Donovan as he quickly moves back into the living room after he just finished putting Olly back to bed. They were able to get see Andrew and Abby off from their visit with Olly and Lukas immediately put his son to bed as he was tired. Lukas, however, is unable to shake the feeling that having Abby and Andrew, who are still grieving their child, visit Olly will not end up well. "This night has been really tough."

"Oh come on," Donovan comes up behind his husband and puts his hands on his shoulders as Lukas pours himself a scotch. "It was a nice gesture on our part to let Andrew and Abby see Olly. Did you see how much it meant to Abby?"

Lukas turns to face Donovan and takes a large drink of his scotch. "I saw," he nods back to him. "The last thing that I want is for Abby to get some kind of attachment to Olly. She is grieving, who knows what is going through her mind right now."

"I think we are over thinking this Lukas," Donovan replies to him quickly. "I think it was a nice gesture for us to let grieving parents a chance to see a child. I can't imagine losing a child, so I'm just trying to put myself in their shoes."

Lukas sighs heavily back to his husband. "You're right," he admits to his husband. "We did a good thing tonight but Donovan, it has to end with tonight. I don't want Abby or Andrew to get attached to Olly. Promise me that this ends tonight."

Donovan doesn't respond, he pulls him into a hug, knowing that he wouldn't object to Abby or Andrew seeing Olly again if it helps them. "I'll promise you that we'll continue to talk about this," Donovan tells him. "We will figure this out as Olly's parents."

One Day House

Nicholas sits behind his desk as he looks over some files for the One Day House, however, his mind is not on the paper work in front of him. He can't stop thinking about how he spoke to Clayton Hughes, the Reese lookalike, who is staying at the halfway house. He knows that Andy has been desperate to find Clayton because he wants more answers about why he looks like his deceased husband. Nicholas, however, has been worried about what will happen to his relationship with Andy if he finds the lookalike, especially since Clayton admitted to him that he found Andy attractive.

"I am being insensitive," Nicholas whispers to himself. "Andy wants to have answers, and I could give them to him."

He stands up and moves to the counter to pour himself a glass of water. "Still, Clayton told me that he thought Andy is a good looking man," he takes a sip of his water. "I know that Reese is the love of Andy's life, is bringing them together going to create more of a mess than this situation already has become? God, I don't know what to do and I keep thinking that Clayton could be the end of my relationship with Andy."

Before he can say anything else, he hears his cell phone ring. He rushes over to his desk and grabs it. "Nicholas Young…Shane hi … whoa, what? It's so early? … yea, I'll be right there. Tell Robin I'm coming."

He hangs up the phone and grabs his jacket as he realizes that he has to get to the hospital to support Robin while she goes into labour. In some ways, this will be a good distraction, he realizes, from the Clayton and Andy dilemma that is in front of him.

Tyler's Townhouse

Tyler pours two glasses of wine at the bar in his house before he walks over to Daisy, who is sitting on the sofa in front of a fire, which is roaring in the fire place. He passes her a glass of wine and sits next to her. He quickly takes a sip of it as he knows the conversation they are about to have will not be easy. He recalls how he saw Brett and Daisy kiss the other night at the Pampa Grill; seeing this, made Tyler go see Natasha and they ended up having sex again. Since then, Natasha has told him that she won't be his side piece, which he gets. He thought he loved Daisy, and he does, but he realizes that they have both changed while Daisy was being held hostage by Vinny.

"This is a nice way to end a seemingly crazy day," Daisy says as she takes the wine from Tyler and takes a sip of it. "I love a good merlot, too."

"I know you do," Tyler smiles back to her. "That's why I opened this bottle."

"That was nice of you."

"Look, Daisy," Tyler looks over at her. "I think we have to talk about what's going on. I don't want to keep anything from you."

"Uh, okay?" Daisy replies to him as she sets her wine down on the coffee table. "You make it seem serious."

"It is serious," Tyler says back to her. "You were gone for a long time, thanks to Vinny. You know that I was sleeping with Natasha while I thought you were dead."

"Yes, you told me that," Daisy uneasily responds to him.

"And, I can't deny that I have noticed that you and Brett are much closer than ever before," Tyler says back to her. "I saw you two share a kiss at the Pampa Grill the other night."

Daisy blushes back to him, unaware that anyone else saw her and Brett have their liplock. "I told him it couldn't happen again," she shakes her head back to him. "He knows that I am with you now."

"But you two are close, Daisy. You can't deny that."

"I won't deny that," Daisy looks back at him. "We went through something that only the two of us can understand. That doesn't mean that it is okay for him to kiss me like that and that's what I told him."

"I know and I'm not arguing that," Tyler replies to her. "Seeing the two of you kiss though, it made me realize how much I missed Natasha. I don't know why."

"What are you saying?"

"I ended up making love to Natasha after seeing you kiss Brett," Tyler reveals to her as Daisy's eyes open wider in surprise. "I guess my feelings for Natasha that I developed are much stronger than I ever realized before."

Daisy gets tears in her eyes. "You slept with her? Again? How could you do that to me? To us?"

Tyler shrugs back to her. "I'm so sorry," he tells her. "I don't know what all of this means. I'm just trying to figure it out, but I couldn't lie to you."

"I don't know if I should slap you or scream," Daisy admits to him as a tear falls down her cheek. "But this hurts like hell, Tyler. It really, really hurts."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Vic, I got your message, are you okay?" Donovan asks his sister as he moves up to the nurses station in the hospital. He and Lukas were about to go to bed when he got a text message from his sister asking him to come to the hospital.

"Robin Navy gave birth tonight," Victoria replies to him as she pulls him into a hug.

"What? It's so early. Is the baby okay?"

"I hope so," Victoria says back to him as they exit their embrace. "I guess just seeing a life so tiny, so fragile, I wanted to see a friendly face. How is Olly?"

"He's good, he's great," Donovan smiles back to her. "Come by tomorrow and see him? He'd love to see his Aunt."

Victoria nods back to him as she puts her hand to her forehead. She has another splitting headache and she can't seem to shake it.

"Hey, Vic, are you sure you're okay?" Donovan asks her as he grabs her arm and moves her to a seat. "You don't look so great."

"It's just been a long night," she replies to him. "And, I have this headache that I can't shake."

"Drink some more water," Donovan tells her. "And get some rest tonight, I'm sure you'll feel fine in the morning."

"I hope so," Victoria uneasily tells him. "I really hope so."

***

Shane slowly pushes the wheel chair that Robin is sitting in up to the window of the ICU. They peer through the window and see an incubator with a sticker that reads "Navy-Glubbs daughter". The baby isn't moving and is wrapped in blankets.

"When can we go in and see her?" Robin asks Shane as she slowly sits back down in the chair. She only stood to get a look at the child, but she is still feeling weak so she won't stand for too long.

"Probably after they finish running some preliminary tests to ensure she is doing okay," Shane responds to her. "Once we get you back to your room, I can find out more details."

"Thanks," Robin says softly. "And, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I should have stayed calmer and I shouldn't have fought with Helen. If anything happens to my…to our little girl, I will never forgive myself."

"Don't beat yourself up," Shane tells her. "Right now, she needs all of us to be fighting for her, okay?"

Robin lets a tear fall down her cheek. "You're right. We should give her a name too. It's something we didn't even talk about."

"Had you given it any thoughts at all?" Shane asks her back.

"What about Dominique after my Dad?" Robin suggests back to him. "After all, he is the reason we even got together, when he hired you at Robertson Enterprises. We could call her Domi for short?"

"I love that," Shane smiles back to her. "Our beautiful little Dominique."

"Dear God," Robin whispers as she stands up and puts her hand on the window of the ICU. "Please look after our daughter, please look after our beautiful little Dominique."
