The Webs We Weave They arrive at the hospital John carries Marlena in. Blood is dripping from her clothes. John spots Greta "HELP ME PLEASE. SOMEONE HELP ME. CARRIE HELP!" "My God, what has happened?" "Doc was shot. Where's Mike?" Mike comes out of the ER "My God John what happened?" "Mike, Marlena was shot. Can you help her?" Just then Lexie runs up "What happened? OH no, it's Marlena." "Lexie, clear ER out. We have to take her in and stop the bleeding. What blood type is she?" "A, B? I don't know. Just help her." Mike and Lexie take Marlena into ER. Then, John begins to cry as he walks up to the window of the ER "Oh God I can't lose her, not like this." "John she will make it. Marlena's strong. Plus, look at what she has to look forward to tomorrow." Greta arrives and runs up to John "John what's going on? Why are you crying?" "Someone shot Marlena and left her for dead. Now she is in there fighting for her life." "Who would do that?" "I don't know, but when I find out who did with God as my witness 'I WILL KILL THEM'." Carrie goes to acll the family. We can hear Mike and Lexie talking in the ER, while trying to stop the bleeding. "I know that you talked to Marlena tonight. Did she tell you anything that might be wrong with her? Like a sickness or something?" "Oh no. Mike can you handle this? I have to go and check on something." "Where are you going?" "Mike, Marlena might be pregnant." Mike talks to himself "No she can't be pregnant. If she is, then she could die." As Lexie exits the ER, she sees Hope "Hope, I need your help. Where did Marlena put the envelope with her test results in them?" "She out them in the waste basket in the examining room. Why?" "Because she has lost a lot of blood and if she is pregnant, she will have a huge problem." Hope and Lexie find the waste basket and the envelope. Lexie grabs the envelope and opens it "Hope, Marlena is pregnant." "She is?" "We have to tell Mike." Lexie and Hope rush into the ER. We than see Mike talking to John "John, I have some bad news." "Oh no. Mike is she going to die?" "John I truly don't know that yet. We have stopped the bleeding." "Thank God!" "John, you have to realize, she has lost a substantial amount of blood." "How substantial?" Hope and Lexie run up "Mike, we need to talk to both you and John." "What Lexie? What's in the envelope?" "You see, John, after Marlena left St. Luke's she came here." "John do you remember when Marlena said that we would meet at 'the place'?? Well, the place was here, the hospital. She came here to check on her wedding gift." "What?" "John, Marlena's gift to you was going to be a baby. She thought that she was pregnant." "Was she Hope? Is Doc pregnant?" Greta butts in "NO! She can't be pregnant. She just can't be!" "Actually John, she is." John's face lights up. Greta runs off and Carrie follows her Are you sure?" "Yes, here are the results." "Well, they are right John. You are going to be a father. Yet, her pregnancy complicates everything." "How so?" "She has lost a lot of blood already, John. Now we find out that she is not only fighting for her life, but also for a little child's. John, unless we can find a donor, that is willing to donate a substantial amount of vblood, Marlena will LOSE HER LIFE." "Mike, I need to see her." Carrie finds Greta in the hospital chapel and over hears her praying "Oh Holy Father please forgive me, for I have sinned." "Excuse me, what did you just say?" Greta turns around with a shocked look on her face "What are you doing here? Are you following me?" "Why would I follow you? I really don't know you at all. I came here to pray for Marlena's recovery." "Oh all right" "Greta are you okay? I saw how you reacted when Mike told John that he was going to be a father." Under her breath, Greta makes a smart comment "Because of Maarlena..." "What did you say?" Roman walks by the chapel and hears Carrie and Greta "Nothing!" "No you said somethign about Marlena. What did you say??" "Nothing. I didn't say anything about poor Marlena. You know why is everyone making a big deal about Marlena getting shot? You know it's like everyone believes that she is some goddess or something." Carrie has a horrified look on her face "What has come over you, Greta? Nobody believes Marlena is a goddess. Marlena is a great friend and she has touched so many people in this town. Plus, she has children who adore her. She is great to everyone and it just shocks me..." "What shocks you? You mean my attitude towards Marlena, that's shocking? Well, it shouldn't be." "And why is that Greta? Why do you hold such a grudge against Marlena?" Roman takes a notepad and a pencil out of his coat pocket to write down some of Greta's remarks "You know Marlena has everything. I mean she has wealth, a family, real friends, and John." "What are you getting at Greta? What do you mean she has HJohn? Do you have feelings for him?" "If I do what's it to you?" Greta whispers under her breath "I wish she would die." "I heard you that time Greta. You said you wish Marlena were dead. I can't believe you. You hateful brat." Carrie slaps Greta and Roman walks in "Greta, I am poutting you under arrest for the attempted murder od Marlena Evans. You have the right to remain silent..." "Hey what in the heck is going on? You can't do this. You have NO proof." "Guess what little girl, I have about 3 pages of your confession that will get you locked away forever. So, I suggest you keep your mouth shut." Roman handcuffs Greta and escourts her out of the chapel "Where are you taking me?" "I am taking you to see something." |
