Mateo is with Hayley and he has some great news. Shannon confessed for the coma. She is the one responsible. It was self-defense. That means that Gabriel is in the clear and the charges are going to be dropped. Mateo wants to call him mother, he will have dinner with her that night. She puts her hand on her stomach telling Mateo that she has news about the baby. He thinks that something is wrong but she assures him that at any moment she could have the baby. She is ready to go into labor. She gets him to do some breathing. He wants her to sit down but she doesn’t want to. She is already one centimeter wide. He makes her sit down anyway. She is fine and her back has healed. She should stay active so that her labor will start. They can even make love that is good for the labor too. Everything is fine and all he has to do is stay close to her. The following day, they could be parents. It would be nice to have Rosa there to be a part of the baby’s life right from the start. When the baby is born, Mateo is going to hold the baby and tell him how lucky he is to have her for a mother. She is going to do the same thing. She has been keeping a journal of the events of the baby. Mateo is going to be with her for the very first contraction. They don’t have a name picked out yet. They talk about different names, but can’t figure out what would be a good one. Mateo doesn’t want to leave her, but she assures him that she will call him the second that she feels something. He will have his cell phone and that will make things all right. He kisses her and tells his baby that he loves him. He takes his phone and his keys and leaves. The baby starts kicking and doesn’t want to stop. She bends over and feels something funny. It is time. That wasn’t a kick. She sits down. That was a contraction.

Suddenly, Brooke enters the room and finds out that Greenlee thinks that he is trying to send her to Paris for a transfer. Brooke says that she knows nothing about this transfer.
