Erica takes Nichole's hand and sighs. " thank you,Nichole. Thank you so so much. I honestly do not know what I would do without you...even before all this." Erica says shaking her head.

"Ok." Erica says,petrified. She knows Ada came out fine,but All she can think of is insane asylums from movies. " please don't let them cut off my hair for wife." Erica says following Nichole. Not bothering to put on a jacket. " I love you too,Nichole....can you drive like that? Maybe we should wait for Sam." She says,scared to death something is going to happen to Nichole.

Erica hesitates before getting in. She looks at the house and her car.she gets in the car and puts the belt on,pausing briefly to adjust it under her tummy. " i hope,coleykins. Promise you won't let them keep me forever. "

"ok" she says quietly.erica bites her lip and holds her stomach."i would never think that,coleykins.i...i trust your judgement better than mine right now.if i wasnt concerned with ruining you and sam's house...i....wouldnt be here now."she says holding her stomach tightly. "i was going to name him nicholas samuel." she says looking out the window blankly.

erica reaches out for nichole's hand and squeezes as they reach the hospital. "in case they keep me forever......i cannot thank you enough...for everything. you and sam made the the happiest i have ever been.you are the best friend i have ever had. i literally owe my life to you..whatever its worth now. i know you and sam will be great parents.i love you both like you were were my blood. please,once this gets out....please let people know i didnt fuck up.i didnt smoke or drink or anything! i didnt even drink soda. people are going to say that why i lost nicholas.i know it." erica swallows once and looks out the window."please tell them i didnt fuck it up."

"thanks coleykins,thanks for believing in me." erica smiles and gives her tiny kiss on the cheek. "no.i will go alone. i dont want you to see them take me away." erica hugs nichole once and lightly touches her belly. "ill see you guys soon."she says,getting out of the car. she doesnt look back as she walks into the hospital,as she is weeping like a baby.

Sam stands in the driveway, observing it's lack of car. He rubs his eyes tiredly and pulls out his phone, dialing Nichole's number. He puts the phone to his ear and waits while it rings.

"Nichole? Are you okay? Where are you?" he asks, the questions coming quickly. "I woke up and you were gone and..." he slows down, taking a deep breath. "Where'd you go?"

"What!?" Sam says, his voice going cold. He hesitates, thinking of something to say. "Is...is she okay?" he finally asks, his eyes welling up with tears at this point.

As soon as she mentions the name, it pushes Sam over the edge, and he begins to cry, tears streaming down his face. "I'll...I'll talk to you when you get home, okay?" he says, wiping tears away with the back of his hand.
