The grand opening

It’s the day before Christmas, it’s also the day of the opening of the Isabella Toscano concert hall, Chloe is over nervous about her ”big brake”, she is suppose to sing, she is running around the house trying to figure out where she put her earrings, the doorbell rings, Brady opens and it’s Craig, Nancy and Joy, Joy jumps into Brady’s arms like a little sister
Joy: hey
Brady: hey
Everyone greet each other, then they all gather in the living room, Chloe comes in still looking for her earrings, she greets her parents and her little sister, then she continues to look trough every angle of the house, suddenly she gets a dizzy spell and almost fall, Brady hurries over and help her sit down, Nancy and Craig are also concern
Brady: honey, why don’t you sit here and relax, the stress isn’t good for the baby
Joy: is the baby sick?
Chloe: no sweetie the baby is fine….I have to find my earrings
Nancy: sweetheart Brady is right, all the stress isn’t good, we will look for the earrings for you
Brady is sitting next her with a concerned look
Brady: ok
Chloe: ok, I guess I could use some rest
She puts her hand on her stomach and takes a deep breath
Nancy: Brady, is she alright?
Brady looks over at Chloe, he is concern, and he doesn’t really know how to hide that from Nancy and Craig
Brady: I think maybe it`s just all the stress over tonight, maybe we should just cancel
Craig: no, she is really looking forward to this
Nancy: but Craig if it makes her sick, I don’t want my baby to suffer any more
Craig: Nancy, calm down, Chloe is fine, if she wasn’t Brady would know
Brady doesn’t know what to say so he goes over to Chloe and sits down next to her
Brady: how are you feeling?
Chloe: I’m ok
She gives him a kiss, gets up and walks over to her parents, Brady is left with a concern look on his face

The Isabella Toscano Concert Hall

The concert hall is filled with both known and unknown faces Chloe is way beyond nerves about performing tonight, Brady comes up behind her
Chloe: ohhh
Brady: hey, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you
Chloe: no it’s ok…..are those for me?
Brady: who else?
Chloe: thank you
She gives him a kiss, as Chloe walks away she falls, Brady catches her
Brady: wow, what was that?
Chloe: I just felt a little dizzy
Brady: no, this is the second time today, I don’t like this
Chloe: I’m ok, it’s just morning sickness that last all day nothing to worry about
A man arrive
Man: Mrs. Black, they are ready for you
Chloe: thank you….(she turns to Brady) I love you
Then she leaves
Brady: I love you….too
The concert hall is filled with people from all over the world, Brady is standing behind the stage watching Chloe as she walks on stage and starts to sing, Brady looks up
Brady: mom please let Chloe and the baby be alright
Everything goes really well and Chloe sings all her songs, the finishing act is a duet with Brady where they are going to sing “Christmas will return” by the end of the song Chloe started feeling very dizzy again and as she finished her last word she fainted, everyone started got up and spoke in worry, Nancy and Craig ran down while Brady held Chloe in his arms and telling her she was going to be alright

sad news

Brady, Nancy, Belle, Shawn and all of Chloe’s friends were present at the hospital awaiting news on what had happened, Belle tried to convince Brady that everything was ok but she could see that he didn’t believe her, Craig came out to the waiting area with a sad expression on his face and tears welling in his eyes, everyone got up and hurried over to him
Brady: Dr. Wesley is Chloe ok?
Nancy: Craig, what’s wrong with my little girl
Craig: Nancy
That’s all he was able to say before his throat got all choked up
Brady walked fast past them and into Chloe, Brady finds Chloe sleeping, her face is pale and she looks so weak, he quietly whispers her name
Brady: Chloe….
Chloe opens her eyes very slowly and looks over at Brady
Chloe: Brady
Brady: hey
He sits down next to her on the bed
Chloe: what’s wrong…is it the baby
Chloe puts her hand on her stomach
Brady doesn’t know what to answer because the doesn’t know, Craig enters with Nancy who you can clearly see has been crying
Nancy: oh my baby
Nancy runs over to Chloe
Chloe: what’s wrong, please tell me
Craig: well sweetie, I….I have some bad news
Chloe: the baby
Craig: no the baby is ok
Brady: then what?
Chloe: dad?
Craig: honey the cancer is back
Brady and Chloe both starts crying and Brady takes her into his arms and holds her close, Craig holds Nancy
Brady: what happens now?
Craig: we have to star cameo again….but unfortunately cameo is indivisible while pregnant, the baby could die
Chloe: then we wait
Brady: Chloe
Chloe: no I am not risking the life of my child…not even for my own
Brady: Dr Wesley, Mrs. Wesley could I please have some time alone with Chloe
Craig: sure, a nurse will come in a little later and move you to your room
Nancy: bye sweetie
Nancy gives Chloe a hug
Craig: bye honey
Craig kisses Chloe one the forehead and leaves with Nancy
Brady turns to Chloe
Brady: Chloe you have to start the cameo, we can try again after you get well
Chloe: no, I might not get well and I refuse to kill my child
Brady: Chloe I understand…
Brady is interrupted as a nurse Brenda enters with a sonogram
Brenda: am I interrupting
Chloe: no not at all
Brenda: it’s good to see you again Chloe, although this is not the best circumstances, I’m so sorry
Chloe: thank you….eh, you remember Brady right
Brenda: yes, hey
Brady: hey
Brenda: would you like to see your child
Chloe: yes
Brenda puts gel on Chloe’s stomach before she starts using the wand, after a little while they are able to hear the heartbeat then they see the baby clearly, Chloe squeezes Brady hand as they look on in awe
Brenda: would you like to know the sex?
Chloe looks at Brady and he smiles at her
Brady: you decided
Chloe: I….we…. think we want to wait
Brenda: alright
Chloe: is the baby ok?
Brenda: yes the baby is a perfect bill of health
Chloe: that’s good
Brady kisses her on the head and she leans into him
Brenda: I will leave you alone
Brenda leaves
Chloe: now that you’ve seen this beautiful little child you can’t say that you will still be willing to kill him…or her….Brady?
Brady: Chloe what about you….you can’t die…I can’t loose you
Chloe: you won’t….I promise
Chloe has problems keeping her eyes open
Brady: you get some rest…I’ll sit right here, they both fall asleep and Brady starts having a nightmare, he is running through the halls of the hospital, he gets to Chloe’s room and the doctors are working on her she has stopped breathing, he can see his mom standing there and he begs her not to take Chloe, then he wakes up with a fright and sees that the bed is empty, he starts freaking out and calling for Chloe, Brady runs to the front desk and asks where Chloe is, they tell him that she went down to look at the newborns
Brady finds her sitting by the window watching the newborns
Brady: Chloe
Chloe: they are so beautiful
Brady: you should be resting
Chloe: look at them Brady
He walks over and puts his arm around her and she puts her head on his shoulder
Chloe: in not so long we’ll have one of those…..(she gets really serious and turns to Brady)
You have to promise me that no matter what you will take care of our child, please
Brady: of course….. We’ll take care of him…. or her…..together

[Christine]

Brady stands outside the window of Chloe’s room, she is now 7 months pregnant and she has been held in isolation for the past 3 months
Dr. McNeil: Brady
Brady turns
Dr. McNeil: we have decided to induce labour; today…if your wife is going to have a chance of survival it needs to be done now
Brady: …but she can’t go through labour…. she’s too weak
Dr. McNeil: why don’t you talk to your wife, let her be in on making this decision
Brady walks in, Chloe is lying in bed, her hands are folded on her stomach and her eyes are closed, Brady walks over to her and carefully touches her hand, she wakes up
Chloe: …Brady…
Brady: hey….the doctor has decided to induce your labour…today
Chloe: can the…. baby…survive?
Brady: yes…yes….Chloe will you let them perform a C-section?
Chloe: …..what?
Brady: you are too weak to go through normal labour
Chloe: I want to
Brady: Chloe
Chloe: Brady…this…might be my only chance of giving birth
Brady: don’t say that
Chloe starts crying
Chloe: we have to face facts…I can feel it…..I am dying
Now Brady starts crying
Chloe: you have to promise me….that you…will take care of our child
Brady: Chloe
Chloe: I love you…..I love you so much…and I love our baby….you have to tell her about me, you have to let her know that I love her….and that I didn’t want to leave her…I didn’t want to leave her
Brady: then fight
Chloe: I am to tired
Brady: what am I suppose to do without you….Chloe you are my life, I love you more then anything
Chloe: do you remember….the first time we met
Brady nods
Chloe: who would have guessed….Brady if you knew then, what you know now….would still have started a life with me
Brady looks up with a sad shock in his face
Brady: Chloe, the day I met you is the best of my life, my life started that day, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me…..you made me want to be a better man….without you…I don’t know where I would have been now
Chloe: I saw your soul through your eyes and you saw mine, I saw goodness in you….and pain…..and anger….don’t be angry again Brady, don’t be angry when I leave, find comfort in our daughter and let her find comfort in you, let her see the man I fell in love with….the gentle heart and the beautiful soul
They are both quiet, Brady kisses her forehead and Dr McNeil walks in
Dr. McNeil: Chloe…I take it Brady has told you that we want to induce labour today
Chloe: yes….I want to give birth to my daughter…I don’t want the C-section
Dr. McNeil: all right
He walks over to the IV stand and injects something into the tube
Dr. McNeil: this will induce your labour, it will go naturally, just like any other labour…you will feel small contraction first and they will get longer and stronger
Chloe: I know
Dr. McNeil: I will come back to check on you in a little while
He leaves the room
Brady stands by the window, his eyes are filled with tears, a sharp pain shoots through him as he hear Chloe scream in pain, he runs over to her and holds her close, her labour has started

[Christine]

3 hours had passed since the first contraction Chloe is in so much pain and she is so tired, each contraction take a toll on her and she becomes weaker and weaker, Dr McNeil had examined her and she was only 4 centimetres dilated, it was going to be a long and painful night

It was now 6 AM, Chloe was no longer screaming she was too weak, her eyes and face were filled with tears, her body was drenched in sweat and her face was so pale, Brady feared she was going to make it through the next contraction, they saw on the monitor that a new contraction hit but Chloe didn’t move, suddenly the other monitor which was measuring her heart rate when flat
Nurse: Doctor, she flat lined
Brady: Chloe….Chloe wake up
Dr. McNeil: stand back Brady…..Chloe….Chloe
Brady: what is happening?
Dr. McNeil: we’re loosing her…..charge the paddles to 200…..charging…..clear….
They shock her body nothing changes, Brady stands beside the bed terrified
Nurse: we’re in PEA
Dr. McNeil: damitt…charge again, to 300….clear…
They shock her again
Nurse: her pressure is dropping, we’re loosing her
Dr. McNeil: no we’re not…charge again, 350….and clear
Once again the shock her
Nurse: normal sinus
Dr McNeil: she’s back
Brady: oh thank God
Dr McNeil: Brady you need to consent to an emergency C-section, we have to get his baby out
The nurse gives him some papers and he signs fast
Nurse: her blood pressure is dropping doctor
Dr. McNeil: get her into the OR right away….call OB tell them we have a 2 month preemie
Everyone runs out of the room leaving Brady alone, he falls to the floor crying

John and Marlena are sitting with Brady in the waiting area; Belle and Mimi are comforting Nancy, Craig is sitting with his head in his hands, Shawn and Rex are with Joy and Zack, who are unaware of what is happening as they enjoy playing with their toys, Bo and Hope along with Victor and Philip are also there
Dr. McNeil walks out, Brady stands up fast, so does everyone else wondering in fear what the news are going to
Dr McNeil: congratulation, you have a baby girl
Everyone hug and congratulate Brady, Craig and Nancy
Brady: what about Chloe…she I okay?
Dr Mc Neil: she’s hanging in there
Brady: I need to see her, she need to know that I am there for her
Dr. Mc Neil: right now I think its best that you go and see your daughter; I can take you to her

Dr Neil: This is the NICU, it stands for neonatal intensive care unit, and this is where the preemies are brought
Brady: is my daughter okay?
Dr. Neil: yes she is alright but she was born 2 months premature so she need to stay in an incubator for a while
Brady looks around, the whole room is filled with cribs and incubators, breathing machines and tubes, there are doctors and med students at each crib, some talking to the parents and some looking at the new borns
Dr. Neil:….here she is
Brady looks down at a small baby girl, she is so tiny, her fits her clutched and her eyes are closed, there are tubes connected to her chest, the machine beside her is beeping, a note on the incubator reads baby girl Black, Brady looks at her in awe
Brady: she is so tiny
Mc Neil: yes, but her organs are well developed and she is doing great, she is very lucky
Brady: can I touch her
Dr Neil: yes, you can hold her if you like
Brady: I can?
Dr Neil: yes
The nurse carefully lifts the tiny baby out of the incubator and slowly and gently places her in Brady’s arms; he is now sitting in a chair next to the incubator
Brady: hey little one, I am your dad
Dr McNeil: we will leave you alone
They leave
Brady: you are so beautiful, just like your mommy….I’m sorry she can’t be with you right now…but…you’ll see her soon…I promise you that….in the meantime I will be with you….I’m your daddy … and you are my little girl…you don’t have name yet, I’m sorry about that, but your mom and I figured that once we saw you we would know….I…I wanted to name you Chloe, like your mom….she wanted you to have a new name, a special name but new….and…
He stopped talking Dr McNeil was standing over him, Brady could clearly see that something was wrong
Brady: Chloe….
Dr McNeil: it doesn’t look good

[Christine]

Brady stands outside the door, Craig and Nancy are crying by their daughter’s bedside, Chloe is unconscious, Brady slowly opens the door, even opening the door feels like a challenge
Nancy: oh Brady
Nancy hugs Brady, they both cry
Craig: Nancy…lets give Brady some times alone with her, to….
He wasn’t able to finish the sentence with the words say goodbye, instead he helped Nancy walk out, Brady sat down next to Chloe and took her hand, it was cold, he moved her hand to his face and kissed it gently as he cried, knowing this might be his last chance to say how much he loves her
Brady:…Chloe…..we have a baby….she is so beautiful
Chloe slowly opens her eyes
Brady: hey, hey baby, hey
Chloe: can…I…see…her….I want to hold her…..just one time
Brady: you are too weak
Chloe: please…I need to see her
Brady: okay, okay, I will talk to Dr McNeil
Chloe: now
Brady: I don’t want to leave you
Chloe: please Brady
Brady: okay, I’ll go
He kisses her on the forehead and runs out of the room
Chloe: thank you

[Christine]

As they return to the room, the monitor shows flat line
Brady: no, no, no, Chloe
Dr McNeil: I’m sorry
The nurse stands by the incubator which a tiny little baby sleeps
Nurse: do you want me to take her back to the NICU
Brady: no…she needs to hold her, I promised her… please doctor
Dr McNeil: okay
Brady: thank you
The nurse opens the window in the incubator
Brady: I’ll do it
Brady carefully lifts the little baby out and places her safely in his arms; he puts another blanket around her to make sure she is safe and warm, then he walks over to the bed, where Chloe leis, still and pale, he places the tiny bundle in her arms
Brady: here you go Chloe, our baby girl; she is so perfect, so tiny and beautiful
Dr McNeil walks over to the monitor
Dr McNeil: time of death 14:05 PM the baby starts crying
as he is about to press on the switch, the numbers start going up, from 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5, 6, 7 and it keeps going up
Nurse: Doctor…she’s coming back
Brady: what…Chloe…Chloe…Chloe can you hear me
Chloe: Brad..dy
Brady: oh God, yes it’s, hey, oh thank God
Dr McNeil: oh my God
Chloe: our baby girl
Chloe: yeah, yeah our baby, our baby girl, she’s right here, right in your arms
Dr McNeil: I don’t understand….Brady can you please give me s minute, I need to examine Chloe
Brady: sure, sure, I’ll be right back….I love you
The lifts the baby out of Chloe’s arms and places her n his own, then he puts her in the incubator and leaves the room
Brady walks in to the waiting area where everyone are crying, Brady is still in shock and confusion
Belle: Brady
Brady: she’s alive
Craig: what?
Nancy: what did you say?
Brady: Chloe, Chloe is alive…she held the baby and she woke up, she came back
Everyone is thrilled and confused they start hugging and kissing each other with joy and happiness, Dr McNeil walks out with a confused and shocked smile
Dr McNeil: she is okay…she still has cancer but her vitals and….I’ve never seen anything like this
Brady: do you believe in miracles doctor?
Dr. McNeil: I do now
Brady: it was our daughter, she saved her….I read that there are no stronger bound then the bound between a mother and a child
Nancy: I want to see my baby
Dr McNeil: you can all go in and see her if you like
Nancy enters the room first
Nancy: Chloe, baby
Chloe opens her eyes
Chloe: mom
Nancy: oh my little girl
Nancy runs over to Chloe and hugs her tightly, Craig is next
Craig: we thought we lost you
After everyone has hugged and kissed Chloe and told her how thrilled they were to have her back they left her and Brady alone with their new baby girl
Chloe: you didn’t name her Chloe did you?
Brady laughing: no, no, I figured we should name her together….why don’t I get the baby names book
Chloe: okay
Brady: here, lets see…meaning…great joy, music….Tambre….no…okay….Angelina, it means little angel….how about this one…Hailey…it means hero
Chloe: my hero…Hailey, I like that…Hailey Black, it’s different… but I like it….do you like it?
Chloe looks down at the tiny baby laying in her arms, the baby yawns and Brady and Chloe laughs
Brady: we’ll say she likes it

[Christine]

Brady and Chloe are sitting in Chloe’s hospital bed, Hailey is lying in her crib by the bed, Chloe can’t take her eyes off her, and Brady can’t take his eyes of Chloe, there is a knock on the door and in walks Dr McNeil
Dr. McNeil: I have the results
Brady takes Chloe’s hand
Dr. McNeil: according to these results there is not a doubt in my mind that you will make a full recovery
Brady: yes
Brady and Chloe hug as they are both thrilled with the news
Brady: so she’s not gonna need another bone marrow transplant
Dr McNeil: no, everything looks fine
Chloe: thank you Doctor
Brady: thank you
Brady and Chloe turn to face each other
Brady: this has turned out to be the best birthday present I could ever ask for
They hug and kiss again

[Christine]

I can’t believe I am finally going home, it feels like I’ve been here forever
Dr McNeil enters the room, Brady and Chloe both see that he looks sad
Brady: what’s wrong….Chloe
Dr McNeil: Chloe is fine
Chloe: if I’m fine then what’s wrong?
Dr McNeil: we’ve done some more tests on Hailey
Chloe: what kind of tests?
Dr McNeil: your daughter has a heart problem
Brady: heart problem, what do you mean?
Dr McNeil: it sometimes happens when children are born premature
Chloe: you said she was okay
Dr McNeil: I know, I am very sorry
Brady: what…what happens now?
Dr McNeil: you’re daughter will need a complicated heart surgery
Brady and Chloe both start crying
Brady: heart surgery, she’s….she’s just a few months
Dr McNeil: I am very sorry
Another doctor enters the room
Dr McNeil: this is Dr. Kayson; he is a paediatric surgeon, the best in the country
Brady: oh My God
Dr. Kayson: Mr and Mrs. Black I understand that this is a lot for you to take in, but there is a time limit to this surgery, your daughter has an unreguliar heart beath cussed by a heart failure that`s basically distroying her heart
Brady: what…what does this mean…I mean…she…is she…
Brady hold Chloe as she cries
Dr. Kayson: look I know this is difficult but I need you to listen to me, the surgery can save her, but its riscky
Brady: Meaning…
Dr. Kayson: without the surgery you have up til 1 year maybe more maybe less
Brady: With the surgery?
Dr. Kayson: with the surgery she would fully recover but she might need a heart transplant in 10 or 20 years, but its riscky and its only been preformed 3 times, only one made it, and it has only been preformed by Dr. David Hall, and the surgery needs to be preformed as soon as possible
Brady: so what you`re asking us is…is…if we choose the surgery we get no time with her, but if we don`t we get until 1 year and she`ll be hooked up to mancines
Dr. Kayson: I know this is difficult, but you need to make a desision, not right now but soon, Dr Hall needs to come from Africa he there working for doctors without borders….. it will take him about 2 to 3 days to get here….I am very sorry….I need your decision by the end of the day….. Dr. McNeil will know where to find me if you need anything
McNeil: im so sorry
he leaves
Chloe sobbing: I need her…I need her now…I want to hold…I want to hold her, I want my baby
Chloe starts crying and Brady hold her close, he too starts crying
