Abby Calling Jeff From Hospital.

*Ring Ring*

*I sat, holding a picture of Carly, sighing heavily. I wanted so much for her bambino to be my bambino... but it wasn't to be. I heard my cell go off, drying my eyes, taking a deep breath and answering* Ciao?

Jeff.. it's Abby.. *Swallows hard, leaning against the wall as I hold the phone to my ear.*

*I inhaled deeply, putting down Carly's picture* Caramella? What is wrong? You sound upset.

B.. was shot. In.. the head.. I don't know the details because I wasn't there when it actually happened. But she's at Bellevue. She's alive and stable for now but I didn't want you to hear this from someone else. She's alive.. and she's strong.. and the doctors have high hopes for her.

Bellevue? Are you there right now? I will be down as soon as I can.

Yes I'm here but I'm covered in bloo... bloo... in stuff.. and Dante told me to go home to sleep so Jackson is driving me home I guess.. I can't get a hold of Carly. I guess her and Jackson got in a big fight and she left. I don't what about but he said he's sure we won't see her for a while...

He... he is her bambino's papa. *I told her, telling her I wasn't in the same sentence* Perhaps that is why. *gathering my wallet and keys to leave*

*My mouth fell open, my eyes widening. Why hadn't Jackson told me.. why did he.. Oh God.* Oh.. oh... oh.. *I felt tears burn my eyes but kept them back.* Eh, Jeff, I got my DNA test results. I haven't opened them yet but when I do I'll call and let you know.. okay? Hurry.. I think Dante could use the company. I'll talk to you later.. I love you. *Swallows roughly.*

Te amo, Caramalla. Por Siempre. *walking out the door*

Bye Jeff. I'll call you later. *Hangs up.*

*hangs up the phone, running down the stairs, not waiting for the elevator, to my jeep to head for the hospital*
