What Lies Beyond Chapter 4
At Lorenzo-Lorenzo, he had just told Tea about Gabriella's biological mother. "Do you know anything about Gabriella's biological father?" "No, why?" "We need to make sure all this is legal so they have no rights to Gabriella. Had the birth mother ever called you?" "No, she doesn't have any of my contact information. I only know about her." "Let me make sure everything is legal." "Why does it matter? Soon Gabriella will be eighteen, and she will never know about this." Lorenzo said, "It's out there, and AJ knows it's risky." "You're right. I will make sure Gabriella is protected. I love her too," I know you do," Lorenzo said.
At The Quartermaine Mansion, AJ was at home thinking about the secret regarding Gabriella and what it could do to Skye when Ned came in. "AJ, are you all right?" "I'm just a little nervous about being a father—the twins will be here soon." "Yes, they will, but you will be a good father. This time, all of us are behind you." "Thanks, Ned. We've come a long way." "Yes, we have," AJ said as Tracy entered. "Monica is resting now. We need to talk about when the hotel opening will be," Tracy asked. "It's tomorrow." "Good. Is everything set?" "Yes," AJ said as Skye came in. "Skye, how is Gabriella doing?" "She's resting at the hospital. I just want to take a break." "Skye, you're not alone in this," Tracy said. "Thank you. I'm just glad I didn't lose my little girl. It wasn't an easy pregnancy—I almost lost her then," Skye said. "You did," Tracy asked. "Yes, I was unconscious when I gave birth to Gabriella. I don't remember it at all," Skye replied. "We are glad it turned out well for both of you," Ned said. "Yes," Tracy agreed. "Thank you. I'm going to rest," Skye said.
At The Brownstone, Emma was getting ready for work when Robin came in. "Mom, why are you here?" "I want to see how you are doing with what happened last night at the hospital." "It was scary, but I'm glad we didn't lose any patients." "Me too. Is it normal drama at the hospital?" "Yes, it can be," Robin said.
