Kendall sees Spike and is worried because he is not waking up. Ryan tells her that he has an infection, but the doctors have him on antibiotics. While Kendall is visiting Spike a nurse comes in and tells her that the doctor has asked to get her to see her other son.

Erica shows Jack Kendall’s premature baby and says “Do you see what your daughter has done? Now, would you like to see her other son, Spike?” Jack tells her that they have to pull together.

Greenlee decides she is going home as she feels unwanted at the hospital. Josh advises against it but takes her home so she doesn’t have to take a cab. He advises her that her lung can collapse again. She asks Josh to let her know how Spike is doing and thanks him for everything. Jack stops in to see her.

The doctor tells Kendall and Zach that the baby has a hole in his heart and it is causing problems because his heart needs to pump blood. Surgery is imperative or his heart and lungs are at risk.

Kendall signs the consent form so they can proceed with the surgery. Dr. Joe Martin tells them the surgery does not take long. Zach asks for the facts. Dr. Joe tells Zach that if they don’t do the surgery blood will shoot out and enlarge his heart, they want to do the surgery before this happens. “The prayers of the entire hospital are with them.”  Myrtle calls Zach to tell him she is thinking of them, “It is perfectly natural to be worried, you’re a father now.” she says. Zach breaks down and starts to cry when he gets Myrtles message.

Erica tries to reassure that both her babies are strong and will survive.

Erica asks Dr. Joe how Kendall and her babies are going to be. He replies that they are not out of the woods yet. He asks Erica how Jack feels about Greenlee. Erica says he is actually defending her. Dr. Joe explains that Jack is keeping his daughter close as she is keeping her daughter close, as Kendall is keeping her children close. He says that when our children are little we put bandages on them but when they are older you still want to make them feel better. It is very touching. Erica goes to see Kendall again and shows her photos of the Kane women. Kendall cries and Erica tells her she can cry, she doesn’t have to be strong, but she will be strong for her and she holds Kendall. We are all crying for them at home.

Ryan stays with Spike and talks to him while he waits for him to wake up and Zach sits by his new baby waiting for his surgery to be over.

All of Pine Valley is at the hospital worried for Kendall, Greenlee and Spike. Annie has come up with a plan to put pictures of Greenlee and Spike on the Internet for people to spot them and help. Babe and Jamie are helping as well.

Kendall is panicking for Spike. Erica gives her a marvelous pep talk how she is a strong Kane woman and she will be able to save her baby. It works and Kendall calms down and her labour pains are able to stop for a minute, until she gets upset again. The contractions are stronger then ever and her water breaks!

 The specialist and Dr. Joe Martin say that they are monitoring the baby’s heart and he is in distress. If they do not deliver him he will die now. He will have a 50% chance to make it if he is delivered.
