What Lies Ahead Part 3, Chapter 25
At the Quartermaine mansion—Elizabeth was outside, thinking about her family when Steve Hayden and Sarah arrived. "What's going on?" "We want to see you. We all need to deal with Dad in town," Steve said. "We can't ignore him." "You know he's not going to stay in town; he will leave soon. Besides, we don't need him; we have each other," Elizabeth said. "Yes, we have each other. I would like us all to know each other better as adults, but he is our father," Sarah said as Jeff walked by. "Why are you here?" "I have a proposal for all of you. I think we all should go to therapy sessions with Dr. Collins." "You are going to stay around?" "Yes, I am. I have family here that I need to fix," Jeff replied. "I guess we could try," Hayden said. "It's going to be a lot of work," Elizabeth acknowledged. "Yes, and I'm ready for it. I want to understand each of you and my grandchildren," Jeff added.
In the General Hospital room—Donna was in a coma on a ventilator, while Carly sat beside her. "You will come back to me; I know it. I don't give up on the people I love," Carly said, crying, as Robin entered to check on Donna. "Any improvement?" Robin asked. "No," Carly responded. "She will come back to me," Carly insisted. Robin headed into the hallway and saw Lucas. "Lucas, you need to convince Carly it's time to let Donna go," Robin said. "I know you're right. I just hate it. I want to fix this for my sister," Lucas admitted. "I know you do. But it's hard for a doctor when we can't fix everything," Robin said, as Lucky approached. "Lucky, I want to check on Donna and Carly, but judging by both of your faces, it's not looking good," Robin noted. "No, it's not. Donna is dying, and my sister doesn't want to face it," Lucas said. "We'll help her, somehow," Lucky assured him.
In Donna's room—Donna remained in a coma while Carly sat beside her. Lucas and Lucky entered. "Donna, your Uncle Lucas is here, and your cousin Lucky—you haven't met him yet. You'll wake up," Carly said, glancing at Lucas and Lucky. "Carly—" "Don't! I know what you're going to say—that Donna's not going to wake up—but she will, just like Michael did!" Carly yelled as Donna's ventilator went off. "No! Save my daughter!" Carly screamed, and Robin and Emma rushed in, while Lucky helped Carly into the hallway. "No! I can't lose another child. We've lost so much this year," Carly sobbed.
In Donna's room—Robin, Emma, and Lucas were working on Donna, but it was too late, and they moved into the hallway. "Carly, I'm sorry. You know I would do anything for my niece. I love Donna too!" Lucas said. "No! My baby girl," Carly yelled. "I'm sorry," Robin added.
