Patrick drove back to the apartment, and carried Lucas into his bedroom, setting the infant in his crib. The boy had fallen asleep almost instantly. "He's incredible," Patrick said as he looked at Emily. "He's going to be a great person, just like his mother." |

"She's not such a great person," Emily mumbled, looking down at the baby. "Patrick, I have to tell you something and you're really going to want to kill me. And I don't blame you, because I would rather die than be me right now. Just, just promise me that you won't put the boys through some messed up custody thing when you kick me out, because I couldn't stand hurting them anymore than I already have." |

"What are you talking about?" Patrick asked as he looked at her. "I couldn't be happier. We're going to be married, Zack's going to walk again, and we're going to be a real family. Nothing can ruin this." |

"But I did," Emily clarified. She took his hand and led him into the bedroom. "Patrick, I was trying to help Elizabeth; she was losing her marriage and her family. Everything I did, it was just to help, but now I hurt our family. You have to know, I'll make it better," she babbled with tears in her eyes. |

"Elizabeth needed money, a lot of money. And I can't tell you why, but I sort of gave her a loan. Patrick, most of our savings and the boys' trusts, they're gone," Emily confessed. |

Patrick rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration. "You- you did what? All of our money? Our wedding fund, the boy's money... all of it? Emily, how could you? You didn't even discuss it with me before you did it." |

"Elizabeth needed help... I just... I thought I could get the money back before anybody missed it," Emily sobbed. "I'm sorry.. I know that I screwed up." |

"Emily, why did Elizabeth need the money so badly," Patrick asked her. "Without that money... we can't afford Zack's operation. His only hope of ever walking again." |

"No, I'll get the money from somewhere. Zack isn't going to suffer for my screw up, I promise," Emily asserted. "And I wish I could tell you why Elizabeth needed it, but I promised her I wouldn't tell anybody." |

"Emily, the doctor's on a very tight schedule," Patrick told her. "Unless we can the money together in the next few days... we're never going to be able to get him here." |

"I'll talk to the doctor. My parents are very influential in the medical field, my grandfather owns ELQ. I have to believe that I can fix this. Zack isn't going to suffer because of some stupid blackmailer," Emily slipped out. |

"Blackmailer?" Patrick asked in shock. "Emily, what the hell's going on? Tell me the truth, is Liz in some kind of trouble?" |

Emily's eyes fell to the carpet. "I think we handled it with the payment. Usually these guys go away once they get money. Don't worry, though, we didn't meet in person or anything." |

"Emily, what you did was dangerous," Patrick told her. "You should have come to me and we could have handled this together. Why didn't you trust me enough to come to me for help?" |

"I do trust you! Patrick, Elizabeth has this secret and it's basically going to ruin her marriage if it comes out. I wanted to tell you; she made me swear not to. Believe me, taking that money was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. And if it was with Zander or Nikolas, I could have hidden it and never told them. But with you, I couldn't be in the same room with you and keep something from you. You have to know it's because I trust you more than anybody. Please don't doubt that," Emily lowered her voice to a whisper, kneeling down in front of where he was seated and looking into his eyes. |

"And what about Zack?" Patrick asked. "What if we can't get the money together for his operation? Are you saying my boy might never walk again because of some blackmailer? Do you know who this bastard is?" |

Emily shook her head in shame. "It could be anybody. I... I swear, I didn't know that we were so close to having this surgeon come. I thought the money wouldn't be needed for a few months... that I'd have time to replenish everything. But I swear to you on everything we have, Zack will get the operation he needs, it it's the last thing I ever do." (OOC: Be back later) |

Patrick sighed as Lucas started crying. "I'll take care of him." Patrick picked Lucas up and cradled him. "It's alright, buddy, daddy's here." |

Emily sat on the bed, wiping the tears from her eyes as she realized what she did and how she sabotaged her family. She heard Lucas stop crying and got up, standing outside the door and watching Patrick with the boy. He was a good parent; she wasn't. He deserved to be with someone who could support the kids as well as he did. |

Patrick cradled the baby until he stopped crying. He looked down at the innocent face staring back up at him. "You're such a blessing," Patrick told the boy. "You're our little miracle baby." |

"How are you so good at that?" Emily spoke up, stepping into the room. "How come I'm such a horrible parent and you're so amazing? I just, shouldn't I have a maternal instinct or something?" |

"I took home ec in high school," Patrick told her. "Had to tote around a plastic baby doll for two weeks." Patrick brought Lucas over to her to see if she wanted to hold him. |

Emily apprehensively took Lucas into her arms. "It's hard to imagine not wanting this little boy. I mean, I wanted him, but I didn't want what was implied by his birth. When I was little, my mom used to tell me that people would love me if I did everything people expected of me. And I've modeled my whole life after that. I married the prince, I went to medical school just like my family asked. And just when I realized that my marriage was falling apart, I realized I was pregnant. I went through four months of complete denial, then accepted it, but mainly becuase you made me. And I guess I just expected that I could be the mother that Lucas and Zack deserved, because that's what they expect; it's what you expect. Only now I obviously can't be that woman." |

"Don't say that," Patrick told her. "Lucas and Zack love you. You just made one mistake. Stop beating yourself up over this." |
