Still with Tessa at CL’s, Rey calls to ask if she’s heard from Abby. He’s now convinced Stitch abducted Mariah. If you see him don’t confront him – call me. Devon shares info from Denise; Ben Russell rented a house on Willow Lane two months ago. That’s where the convenience store is! Rey and Devon run out of TGP.
Abby? It’s your Dad, Victor rings the doorbell a few times before going inside. He picks up the phone she left behind then gets a call. Willow Lane? I hope you find Mariah there. What about Stitch?
Mariah! Abby rushes in as soon as Ben unlocks the door. OMG! You’re in labour!
How are you doing (aside from the obvious)? Abby asks. Are you real? Mariah’s weak. You’re really here. I was so scared I’d have to do this alone. We need to get to the hospital. It’s OK, I brought…. my car, Abby notices that Ben’s gone. Everything will be fine, Abby forces a smile.
Sharon’s curious as to what happened to make Ben do this. Tessa doesn’t care. Rey can’t reach Abby. Sharon will try.
Mariah?! Devon comes running into the room. How’d you get here? he asks Abby. Where the hell is ….? Rey pops in to say that no one else is here. Sharon and Tessa will be so relieved that you’re OK, he tells Mariah before dashing out. Devon heard the first baby takes longer to arrive. Mariah’s sure this baby’s coming right now.
Getting another call from Rey, Sharon updates Tessa that they found Mariah. She’s in labour so Abby’s taking her to Memorial; Rey’s looking for Stitch. Let’s go! Sharon calls Victor with the news – I hope you’re ready to be a grandpa again. Oh my goodness, Victor’s happy.
Abby’s read books and watched videos. It’s OK, Devon reassures Mariah as she writhes in pain. Nate directs them via video chat on a tablet. Abby and Devon express their love and support. I need to push, Mariah gasps. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Abby peeks under the blanker covering Mariah’s legs – I can see his head – he’s so beautiful. One more big push, Nate instructs. As Devon holds Mariah, Abby delivers her son.
How does he look? Mariah asks. Perfect, he has the cutest little fingernails, Abby reports. After Nate guides Abby in clearing his airway with her finger, all are relieved when the baby begins to squeal. Cradling the infant, Devon takes a seat with the ladies on the bed.
Next Week: If I wasn’t in the picture would you be tempted to get back together with Jack? Nick asks Phyllis ….. Give me a second, Ashland appears to be experiencing some discomfort (at CL’s) Are you sure? Are you really OK? Nate asks … Adam thought Sally might want to accompany him to the party to celebrate the official launch of Newman Media tomorrow. We’ll see, she smiles coyly.
