"Hello, My Love"

Ned accuses Faith of ordering the hit on Sonny and then assassinating her own assassin.

Cameron and Alexis round the corner of the hall at General Hospital. Cameron has a firm grip on Alexis' arm.

Alexis: Where are you taking me?

Cameron: You'll see.

Alexis: Aren't we supposed to be going to a therapy session?

Cameron: This will be therapy of a more unconventional kind.

Alexis: Does the judge know about this? Because I can't afford to get caught. I'm under police guard.

Cameron: Trust me.

Alexis: You want me to trust you? You're kidnapping me.

Cameron: Exactly. Just keep moving and follow my lead.

They start to head for the elevator when a police officer stands in front of them.

Officer: Stop right there.

Officer: Ms. Davis is under arrest for murder. She's considered a flight risk and a danger to herself and others.

Cameron: Well, I'm her attending psychiatrist, and I'm trying to get her through these public spaces for exactly that reason. So we have to minimize contact with others so as not to trigger fragmentation and
mood-congruent psychotic features.

Alexis takes her cue and begins to act agitated.

Alexis: Why are you stopping me?

Cameron: It's all right, Alexis.

Alexis: Are you threatening me?

Cameron: Her condition has deteriorated to the point where we have to initiate a more aggressive form of treatment.

Alexis: I don't want to -- I don't want to do that. (To the officer) Please don't -- don't let him make me do that.

Cameron: And time is of the essence.

Alexis: I want my doctor. I -- I want my doctor. Somebody get my doctor because I don't trust you.

Cameron: He'll be there, Alexis. All of your friends will be there.

Alexis: No, you're lying. He's lying. He's lying to me.

Cameron: This is what I was trying to avoid. Onset can be rapid and unpredictable.

Alexis: No, I don't want to go with him. He's going to hurt me.

Officer: Do you need any help?

Cameron: I think I can handle it from here.

Alexis: I don't want to go.

Cameron: It's all right, Alexis.

Alexis: I don't want to go. I'm not comfortable.

Cameron: No one's going to hurt you.

Cameron takes her by the arm and leads her to the elevator. The officer stands back.

Alexis and Cameron arrive at the gatehouse. Alexis is wearing Cameron's suit coat. He knocks on the door.

Alexis: Are you doing what I think you're doing?

Cameron: You'll see.

The nurse lets them in and Alexis heads right for Kristina in a bassinet.

Alexis: Hi, sweetie pie! (Picks up the baby) Hello, my love. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Hello, baby. I missed you.

Cameron: Thought some time with your daughter might be therapeutic.

Alexis: Thank you. Thank you. Hello, angel.(She smooches the baby)

Alexis: Hello, my love. Hello, my love. Hi.

Faith goes to meet Edward after her unpleasant encounter with Ned. Edward insists that Faith get back together with Ned and be seen in public with him. She doesn't understand what Edward will get out of her association with Ned.

Alexis: Boy, you've gotten so big. You have gotten really big and more beautiful. I don't know how that's possible. Ok, sweetheart. I'm sorry that I haven't been here, ok, and I know that it's not fair, but I'm going to be home soon. And we're going to do all kinds of fun things. We're going to go to the park and we're going to go to the zoo.

(She turns to Cameron) And I don't know how to thank you for what you've done.

Cameron: It was worth it.

Alexis: I want to be able to repay you someday by helping you reconnect with Zander.

Cameron: Alexis, there's nothing to repay. I'm glad I could help.

Ned walks in.

Ned: What are you doing here?

Alexis: It's ok, sweetheart.

Ned: I thought you were supposed to be in the hospital.

Alexis: I wanted to see my daughter, Ned.

Cameron: Alexis had no idea I was bringing her here, Ned. I -- I broke every rule in the book to get her out of the hospital, and now I have to get her back before the staff or Baldwin figures out what's going on.

Ned: I was told that Alexis is being treated for a serious mental illness. Do you really think it's wise to sneak her out of a hospital, break into a man's home, and thrust a child into her arms?

Cameron: Ahem.

Alexis: It's my child, Ned, and I -- well, it seems like you're acting like she belongs to you.

Ned: No. That's not what I meant.

Cameron: Everything she's done has been for the good of the baby, Ned.

Ned: I'm not disagreeing. And I, too, am doing what I think is best for the baby.

Alexis: What's best for Kristina is that she gets to spend some time with her mother.

Ned: Yes, but evidently you still have a few more hurdles to overcome.

Cameron bristles noticeably.

Alexis: I just wanted to see my daughter, Ned.

Ned: I'm not denying that.

Cameron: Good. Then we're all on the same page.

Ned: Just do me a favor. The next time you break into my house, call first.

Cameron: Won't happen again. It's a difficult situation, Ned, but we can make it work because we all want what's best for Kristina.

Cameron and Alexis arrive back at the hospital to find the guard in the same place as he was.

Cameron: It looks like we pulled it off. Mission accomplished.

Alexis: Thank you so much for taking me there.

Cameron: I'm just sorry it was so short.

Alexis: So am I, Cameron. I have a terrible feeling.

Cameron: What?

Alexis: I have a terrible feeling that something awful is going to happen, and I can't shake it.

Ned is at the gatehouse alone with Kristina at his shoulder.

Ned: Good. Come on, Kristina. Let's hear a burp. I know you got one in there. I know you got one in there. Come on. Here you go.

There's a knock at the door.

Ned: Oh, who could that be? Let's put you down. (He lays her down in the bassinet) I'll be right back. Sweet little girl.

Edward: Hello, Ned. Saw your car in the driveway, and I figured that you came home early so you could spend a little bit of time with this little baby, Kristina.

Ned: That's right. I'm her father, remember?

Edward: Oh. Yes, and you're doing a good job as a father, Ned, although it must be difficult to balance all your responsibilities.

Ned: Yeah, well, I'm managing.

Edward: I understand that I'm not Kristina's only visitor today, Ned.

Ned: Spying again?

Edward: The gardener, Pendleton? Oh, my, he's such a treasure. Not only is he very gifted with climbing roses, he also has 20/20 vision and a very sincere concern for the welfare of this family.

Ned: Alexis has a right to see her daughter. Nothing happened, I can assure you.

Edward: Forgive me, Ned, forgive me. For a moment, I just was caught up in the fact that she is a Quartermaine heir.

Ned: Well, don't, because this child will never be living under your roof.

Edward: Ned, your grandmother and I care so much about this little child, and we know what you're going through -- you know, Alexis with her serious psychological problems. She may recover and she may not. And all the while, you're responsible for raising little Kristina -- loving her, caring for her, and doing the best you can, and all the time, you have a business to run.

Ned: And your point would be?

Edward: Ned, I'm -- I'm just up the drive. All you have to do is call me. I will do anything that will help this beautiful child.
