What Lies Beyond Chapter 2
At General Hospital — Elizabeth was waiting for AJ; they were about to have a sonogram on the baby when AJ arrived. "Elizabeth, sorry I'm late." "Did you have an ELQ meeting?" "No, I'll tell you later. Let's go check on the twins," AJ said as Portia approached. "I'm ready for you," Portia said.
In Gabriella's room — Gabriella was in her bed, waking up and looking confused about what was going on when Skye entered. "Mother, why am I here?" "You were shot last night, but you'll be fine." "Who shot me? I don't remember anything." "Just rest, baby," Skye replied, not wanting to tell Gabriella the truth.
In Portia's office — Elizabeth was lying on the bed while Portia conducted the sonogram, and AJ was holding her hand. "How are the twins?" "So far, they are perfect, but I suggest that now, since you're in the late stages of pregnancy, you take some time off." "I've decided that last night was a lot for me," Elizabeth said. "Yes, it was a stressful night," Portia agreed. "Yes, it was," AJ added.
Maya was looking at the hole in the ceiling when Skye approached. "Maya," Skye said. "Last night was horrible." "Yes, it was. My daughter shot my other daughter." "I'm sorry. How are you feeling?" "I'm sad for Kim. I just try to talk to her, but she won't listen to me." "Kim was a great doctor." "Yes, she was." "Maya, can you look at Gabriella's chart? How bad is the damage?" "I will."
Tracy was pushing Monica in the wheelchair as they passed by. "Monica, I'm glad you're coming home today." "Yes, we are." "Thank you. I heard about Gabriella. I hope she's alright." "Me too. She will be a Quartermaine," Tracy said.
Elizabeth and AJ arrived. "How is the baby?" "Great, but I'm taking my maternity leave now." "I think that's wonderful." "Yes," Elizabeth replied.
