Port Charles Update Monday 9/3/01 By Dawn Karen, Frank, Jamal, Alison, Kevin, and Lucy are
standing around Eve, who is seated in the front pew with Ian kneeling in front
of her. Eve’s water broke. Ian asks someone to go back to the loft to get her
things, but Lucy says she’ll go to the gift shop to quell her sudden need to
shop. Ian is being a doctor until they remind him that they are doctors, and he
needs to be the daddy. At those words, Ian stops and stares. As Karen, Frank,
and Kevin lead Eve out in a wheelchair, Lucy catches Ian and tries to calm him.
It works for about three seconds, and Jamal announcing that he was two months
early doesn’t help. Catching the priest on his way out the door, Ian asks him to
pray for his son. Livvie is still hearing Caleb in her head. She is his,
and he calls her his love. Watching her, Jack goes to her and asks her what’s
wrong. Ian puts Eve in a bed, and she is insisting that the
baby is too early. At this point, Eve doesn’t want an epidural. Kevin enters to
tell them that he couldn’t find a neonatologist. Lucy shows and she tries to
tell her to keep positive thoughts. Kevin tries to get her to leave, but Eve
asks them to stay. Lucy is as excited as Eve and Ian are. There is about to be a
brand new life in the universe, and they’re going to be a whole new family. Ian
realizes that Michael wasn’t a real priest, and they are not happy to find out
they’re not really married. Lucy and Kevin try to convince them that it’s not a
big deal, but it’s more than a piece of paper to Ian. He wants their baby to
know that they were committed to each other. Eve understands, but another
contraction is more important to her. Kevin and Lucy leave the room, and they
Lucy feels bad for how Ian feels about not being married. Kevin knows they don’t
have time, Eve’s in labor. As they discuss this, Ian approaches them to ask them
a big favor. Jack presses Livvie for an answer, but she won’t give
him one. She wraps her arms around him, and says that she’s just tired. Jack
doesn’t believe her and guesses that she’s still worried about Caleb. He swears
to her that Caleb is gone, and she needs to start thinking about their future.
Kissing him, she agrees with him. They won, and nothing is ever going to come
between them. As Livvie starts to confess something to him, Alison and Jamal
arrive to tell them that Eve is in labor. Alison suggests they go back to the
shop, and she will make breakfast. The rest agree, and they leave. Livvie hangs
back for a moment, staring at Caleb’s ring in her hand. She says goodbye to
Caleb, insists he has no control over her, and throws the ring off the roof. Lucy is on her cell, thanking someone for nothing.
Hanging up, she tells Kevin that she has checked everywhere, and she couldn’t
find anything. Kevin is drawing a blank too, but suddenly he gets an idea and
drags her around the corner with him. She steals some flowers out of a vase as
she follows him. Livvie, Jack, Jamal, and Alison are sitting around
Jamal’s living room eating breakfast. They are laughing and smiling. Livvie can
only cook toast, but Jack doesn’t care and kisses her. Livvie proposes a toast
with orange juice. The toast is to kicking Caleb’s but and going back to normal
life. Jamal decides that he wants to get the bike shop open again. Livvie misses
cappuccino, and Alison offers to go get the machine. Jack goes with her to help
her get it. Jamal and Livvie talk about how she feels, he wants to understand
and he knows how hard it was. It wasn’t her fault, and it’s over. Livvie is
happy to know that, and she wants to make it up to Jack. But Jamal knows that
all he wants is her. Outside, Jack remembers that the machine has no wheels.
Teasing, Alison tells him that a big strong man like him can do it. This
triggers Jack’s memory, and he remembers beating Zach’s gang, them Jamal, then
Chris both at GH and at Livvie’s, then he remembers the security guard when he
broke Livvie out of her room at GH. Angry, he glares at Alison and tells her
that no human can move that. He’s NOT a vampire anymore, he has no inhuman
strength, and he’s not like that anymore. He’s a normal guy and he plans on
staying that way. Alison in sorry, and she watches him walk past her. Eve’s contractions are getting closer, and Karen is
worried about the neonatologist not being there. Frank comes in with an update,
the neonatologist is stuck in traffic. Ian knows he can’t do anything. Agreeing,
Eve tells him to sing or recite a poem. Uneasy, Ian only knows one poem. As he
recites it to her, she stares into his eyes. It’s called Daniel, and Karen,
Colleen, and Frank stop to listen to him. Eve loves him for it, but she changed
her mind, and she needs drugs. Karen tells her it’s too late. Ian offers Lamaze,
but Eve’s not thrilled with that. She has to push. Lucy and Kevin enter and tell
her to stop. They found a minister to marry them. Panting, Eve glares at them. Alison apologizes, she was kidding. Jack knows it, and
he apologizes to her. Alison knows he’s afraid that it’s going to come back
again, and he can’t deny it. All the urges are gone, but he can’t trust it. He
feels like all hell is going to break loose. Alison tells him that Caleb can’t
hurt them anymore. He keeps telling Livvie that, maybe it’s time he believe it
himself. He begs off the cappuccino, and tells her that he and Livvie need some
time alone. Agreeing that she and Jamal could use some of that, they go back in
the apartment. Jamal is alone, and tells them that Livvie thought the same
thing, and she is already upstairs. As Jack leaves, Alison goes to Jamal and
kisses him. Livvie is in Jack’s room, lighting candles and spraying
perfume. She is dressed in a nightgown, and as she moves the pillow, she finds
Caleb’s ring under it. The priest is beginning the ceremony, but Eve’s moans
keep interrupting. Ian begins to recite his vows, but Eve moans again. He stops,
and the priest finishes quickly. Eve’s ‘I do’ is more of a painful wail. Kevin
and Lucy bring the minister out of the room, and the three of them are laughing.
After the priest leaves, they congratulate each other. It was Kevin’s idea, but
Lucy got him out of traction. Deciding they make a good team, they kiss. Kevin
says it’s all up to Eve now, and they both think of the pain she’s in. Karen is delivering the baby, and Ian is holding Eve’s
hand. Karen holds him, and they all look at the baby. Eve wants to hold him, but
Karen is worried. The baby isn’t crying. Scenes: Gabby tells Jamal that she’s going to go away and get in
touch with God. Alison asks her if she’s going to be a nun. Jack knows something is wrong with Livvie, and he knows
it’s Caleb. Eve is begging them to help the baby, and Ian is calling to his son and he, Karen, and Colleen are working on him. |
