What Lies Beyond, Chapter 44
At the Quartermaine mansion—AJ was in the nursery making sure it was perfect for the twins as he placed a picture on the dresser of Michael and Wiley. "I want you both to watch over my twins. I failed you, Michael, but I won't fail the twins," AJ said as Monica entered. "The nursery looks beautiful. I'm so happy for you and Elizabeth." "I just hope I don't ruin it." "You wouldn't. You've been getting your life back on track since you came back." "Yes, I have. I should go pick up Elizabeth. Do you want to go with me?" "No, I need to make sure everything is set for Gabriella's return. She's coming home soon." "If Gabriella doesn't get a new kidney, we could lose her, couldn't we?" "Yes." "I hate this, and that Carly told Gabriella the truth. If I knew she knew, I would have stopped her." "Did you know the truth?" "Yes, I overheard Lorenzo talking about it. I tried to blackmail him with it. I want to keep Skye from falling apart." "I understand, but Skye has grown too. You both have." Monica touched AJ's face.
