" That's police business ma'am... Can you find Rick Webber please.?"

The nurse called down to CICU where Rick was sitting by Lesley's side and after that she took Riley up to be checked out incase something was to be wrong.

" I'm right here Lesley.... And I'm gonna stay here until you come back to me... I need you and so do the kids..."

Rick continued to talk to Lesley hoping he'd get through to her and she would soon wake up. After about 20 minutes, Ramsey was just waiting outside of CICU cubicle to talk to him about Riley and the status of his whereabouts

" Rick I know you don't want to be far away from Lesley but I thought this is something I should come and tell you personally..." Bert got out

" It's ok Bert what is it.... Is it about our son....?" Rick replied

" A couple outside of New Jersey City, was about to adopt a baby that was promised to them when the mother of that child "disappeared"... Somebody showed up with a baby matching your son's description.... The couple reported it to the Jersey City police department and they personally brought the child back here to Port Charles... Your son is up in the NICU getting checked out incase..." Bert Ramsey took pleasure to tell Rick and gave him a big hug

" Bert, you just saved the sanity of another crisis for my family. I don't know how to thank you enough... I hope that Lesley will come through soon..." Rick hugged Ramsey then took a moment

" You know I'll be praying for her, Rick..."

Rick dozed off asleep while staying beside Lesley in CICU and Monica stopped in to take her vitals again before deciding if she could be transferred to the 7th floor

" Rick.... I don't mean to wake you... I just need to check on Lesley before I go to move her to 7..." Monica said

" It's okay... Did you hear?" Rick replied

" Did I hear? Hear what Rick?" Monica looked at Rick with alittle curiosity

" Our son is okay and he's home where he belongs... A couple in New Jersey reported him found after whomever it was that Frank Smith hired tried to pitch him off as an orphaned child...." Rick said with a small smile

Just as Rick was talking to Monica, Lesley had started to wake up and Rick couldn't help but grin like a complete fool

" Lesley can you hear me..." Monica asked

Lesley looked from Rick to Monica with confusion while they were about to get ready to move her out of CICU

" You're okay Lesley... You're in the hospital but you're gonna be fine." Rick said to Lesley gently

" What.... What happened?"

" We'll get to that alittle later sweetheart.... But right now, I think it's time to take care of you and get you better and then I can take you home" Rick smiled and gave Monica a nod

Lesley winced but forced herself to stay awake... " Th-the kids R-Rick please... Is the baby alright... Rick we ha-have to find him.." Lesley started to try to get up

" Lesley easy... You have to calm down... Everything will be alright..." Rick tried to calm Lesley

" Rick, what happened with our son... Where's Riley... I want to see him I have to see that he's alright"

" Lesley I need you to calm down, the kids are safe, and as soon as I can I will bring them to you but I have to put you first... Sweetheart, please don't make me have to sedate you"
