Interviewer: What happened the night Teddy had a heart attack?

Aislinn Loving: I felt scared, for the longest time when I had grown apart from Billy, Teddy had become another father figure for me. He guided me through my career and taught me what was right from wrong and vice versa. I didn't know if he would survive.

September of 1977

The next stop the band had arrived was in New York. After the band was given the opportunity to perform for SNL, everyone jumped at the chance of a lifetime. After settling into their hotel, Aislinn and Eddie decided to take Nathaniel – who was now 6 months old – out for a walk around the city.

It had been years since Aislinn had last been in New York but just like her first time, it felt like a dream. Like it was place she was truly meant to be in.

Eddie had walked into a coffee shop to grab some coffee, while Aislinn waited outside with Nathaniel. Aislinn people watched as she moved Nathaniel's stroller back and forth to keep help him fall asleep. Being so focused on rocking Nathaniel, she hadn't noticed a man passing by until she had accidentally hit him.

"I'm sorry. I-" Aislinn cut herself when she raised it to apologize to who she had hit, it was James. "Aislinn?" James questioned, surprised to see her in city.

Aislinn felt as her chest tightened and the air that was supposed to come out was held back. She couldn't breathe, her vision began to get blury. It felt like everything around her moved in slow motion, as if she had found herself trapped in a movie, with no escape. What was happening to her?

Aislinn stayed silent, no words were coming out, she had no idea what to do. James studied her and saw how much she had changed, he then looked down to see her knuckles turning white as she held tighter onto the stroller.

"Who's this?" James asked as he tried to look into the stroller. Aislinn quickly pulled the stroller closer to herself out of his view. "My son." Aislinn spoke, the only words she planned to tell James.
