          The Newman family rushed into the Genoa City hospital. Victoria hurried over to the receptionist desk, "Can you tell me where Mr. and Mrs. Newman are?" she asked trying not to sound so panicked. "Well, Mrs. Newman is in critical condition but Mr. Newman is in the waiting area." The lady said. "Thank you!" Victoria shouted leading her family towards the waiting room. "Dad!" she called rushing over to Victor. He looked tired and worn out but he didn’t seem to have any burns or things like that. "Children!" Victor exclaimed standing up. "Oh daddy!" Abby cried hugging Victor, "What were you thinking going in there?" "I’m alright Abby, calm down." Victor said. "What’s going on with mom?" Nick asked. Victor took a deep breath, he wished he could tell them that Nikki was fine and she would be out soon, but that wasn’t the case at all.

          "Nikki inhaled a great deal of smoke and she has a massive concussion." "From what?" Victoria asked "The firemen noticed a ladder a few feet away from where I found her; they’re guessing she fell off it." "Oh Dad I’m so sorry." Abby said. "Do they know how it started grandpa?" Noah asked Victor. "No not yet my boy but they will find out soon." Victor replied sitting down. Abby and Summer sat on each side of him. Victoria sat on the couch with Billy and Nick stood by the window with Noah. "Should I call Katherine?" Abby asked Victor. "Yeah. Why don’t you go do that." Abby stood up and walked over in the corner. Victor looked at Summer sitting next to him, she had been crying. "Summer are you alright?" "No." Summer whispered the tears running down her face. "What is it?" Victor asked concerned"Grandma, is she gonna die?’ Victor wanted to tell his granddaughter that everything was going to be okay but even he, the great Victor Newman had no idea what the future held. "I don’t know Summer. I really don’t know." "Oh grandpa!" Summer cried. Victor took her in a hug, "Just be strong for grandma." He told her.

           Nick and Noah watched Victor and Summer from their position at the window. "Should I take her home?" Noah asked. "No, I think it’s good that Summer’s here to keep Dad company. Mom and Dad are Summer’s two favorite people and I don’t think she’d rather be anywhere else right now but here." Nick told his son. "She always has loved them hasn’t she?" "Noah, Summer always counted on your grandparents for the love and support that Phyllis couldn’t give her and I think she needs them, you, Faith, me and Avery right now." Nick said looking over at his sobbing daughter. "Yeah she does Dad. I’m gonna call Avery and check on Faith. I’ll be back." Noah said heading out of the room.

           Abby walked over to Nick, "I called Katherine she’s on her way with Uncle Jack and I even called Aunt Traci and my mom." "Abby, why are you calling all these people?" Nick asked annoyed. "They have a right to know what happened. It’s not like mom and Traci are dropping everything to come here. Just Katherine and Uncle Jack I don’t see what the big deal is." "Yeah Jack’s only coming because he’s still in love with my mother." Nick growled and stormed out of the room. "What did you do?" Victoria asked as Abby took a seat with her and Billy on the couch. "I just told him that I called a couple people and that Katherine and Uncle Jack are on their way here." "Wait a minute Jack is coming here?" Billy asked "Yeah what’s wrong with that?" Abby asked still not understanding what the problem was. "The woman in the hospital is Nikki, her lover is over there, the very powerful Victor Newman and you call Jack Abbott down here. Is this making sense to you at all?" Billy asked "No." Abby said standing up. "Where are you going?" Victoria asked. "I’m gong to get a coffee anyone want anything?" Abby asked. Not getting any kind of response she took that as a no and left.

          "Sometimes she can be so clueless." Victoria told Billy. "What’s going on?" Victor asked still holding a more calm Summer now in his lap. "Abby told Jack about mom and now he’s on his way here." Victoria informed him. "It’s alright Jack Abbott has no business coming here and when he shows up just ignore him." Victor said. Noah and Nick both came back into the room, "What’s up with Abby?" Nick asked "Jack’s on his way." Billy said. Nick looked over at Victor, "It’s alright son he can be here but it won’t do him any good." "Well, we better hear something on mom soon." Nick said. "We will." Victoria whispered. "Where is Faith?" Victor asked Summer hoping it would take her mind of of Nikki, "Avery has her." "Not Sharon?" "No, Sharon wasn’t around and Avery offered." "That was nice of her." "Yeah we really like her." "That’s good."
