the phone hearing Vicky call out his name as he put the phone back onto the receiver. 
    After his call with Vicky, Ryan foun d himself thinking that he was a selfish bastard. Could he really let his own child die?
    Vicky hung up the phone and put her head in her hands.  She hadn’t heard Jason come back into the room.
    Jason touched her shoulders “You ok?”
    Vicky snatched her head up before letting the tears erupt, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be ok again Jason.”
    He sat on the bed and leaned in to hold her “We’ll get through this.  I promise.”
    “I spoke with Dr. Franks and if you’re up to it we can head down to recovery.”
    “Yes, yes.  I’m ready. Please let’s go.”
    Jason helped Vicky out of her bed as they made their way to see Angel. “I called Franklin, he’s taking the next flight out and I asked if he could bring Sandra as well.  I know you two have grown quite close to each other and I’m sure you can use her support right now.  Did you get in touch with your Aunt?”
    Vicky “I called her but wasn’t able to get through.  I left her an urgent message.  If she doesn’t call back by the time we get back to the room I will call her again.”
    “Maybe I can send someone to her home? Was that who was on the phone?”
    Vicky peered into Jason’s eyes before answering.  He loved her.  She could see it plain as day.  She held the power to hurt him.  And that she never wanted to do.  But, she would not lie to him. “No it wasn’t.  It was Angel’s father, Ryan Carter.”
    Jason knew before she uttered the words. He hated knowing that Vicky would need his help.  Especially someone she once thought she was in love. Jason felt somewhat ashamed for feeling jealous at a time like this….especially when he knew Vicky loved him.  They were about to get married and bring another baby into this world.   
    At some point Jason knew he might have to deal with Angel’s biological father.  These weren’t ideal circumstances but they all had to deal with the reality of their situation “When will he be here?”
    Vicky sighed “I’m not sure.  He never said he was coming.  I’m just hoping he does the right thing.”
    Jason thought to himself that Vicky didn’t need to worry if ‘Ryan’ would show up to get tested.  Once they finished with seeing Angel in recovery he would make sure ‘Ryan’ DID show up.
    “And Jason, he’s a match.”

Chapter 11
    Franklin Roth , who was the CFO of CkR International and Jason’s best friend, had received the call from him while he was in the middle of a meeting.  Franklin cancelled the rest of his meeting and made arrangements to get to Atlanta as soon as possible.  However, he needed to go find Sandra Catchings to make sure she’d spoken with Jason and to confirm she was coming with him.
    “Verna, cancel all of my meetings and calls for the next 3-4 days.  There’s been an emergency and I’ll be out of town. I’ll be periodically checking messages and e-mails.  Otherwise, re-schedule everything.  As a matter of fact make su re you get in touch with Janice, Jason’s administrative assistant and give her the same directive.  I’m not sure if Jason had a chance to do that yet or not. However, there are a couple of files I’ll need, Brinkstone and Westerson.  Get those for me.  I’ll be back to get them before I head out of the office for the airport. Oh, and by the way…where is Ms. Sandra Catchings located?”
    Verna got Sandra’s information and gave it to Mr. Roth.  He took it and headed out of his office in search of Ms. Catchings.  He needed to get her personal contact information if she were going to go Atlanta so that they could head over to the airport together.  However, when he arrived at her office Joshua Jones, the Director of Sales was there.  It looked like they were in a heated conversation.  “Excuse me, am I interrupting anything?”
    Joshua looked like he’d been caught with his hand in the
