David was back in Pine Valley, and their were a few people that he needed to see, and one of them was Erica Kane. Ever since David had betrayed Bianca and chose Babe when she kept Miranda away from Bianca, David was no longer a friend to Erica, nor Bianca, and it wasn't his choice. He still loved Bianca, and in his own way he loved Erica as a friend. Erica always knew how to straighten him out, which was one of the qualities that he admired in her. After meeting with the few people that he needed to see, he decided to make one last stop for the day at Erica's.
David made his way over to Erica and Jack's place from Dixie's, and he pulled up and parked. He sat their for but a moment, thinking on what he was going to say to her, but it came to him, like a fleeting thought. He knew exactly what he was going to say to her. He got out of the car, and walked towards her door.
When he got to it, he paused, as he was breathing very heavily. He had never been this way about talking to Erica, and now after everything that he had done, he always got a knot at the pit of his stomach before talking with Erica. He broke the pause after a few moments, and knocked on the door. He waited, until the door was swung open, and standing before him, was the beautiful Erica Kane. "Well, well Erica.." he said as he looked to her stomach, and then back up to her. "You have been keeping busy haven't you?" he asked, as what he was going to talk to her about was thrown out the window, because now he was intrigued by her being pregnant.

Erica heard a knock at the door & hung up her phone. She had been talking with her publisher, & they had just set up a date to meet, & Erica was thrilled. Smiling, she went to open the door, assuming it was Tad or maybe Angie or Dixie coming to see her, but her smile quickly faded when she saw the tall, dark doctor standing in front of her. "David... I wasn't expecting you. You do know it's rude to just drop by without calling, don't you?" she asked, as he looked her up & down.
She then gave him a curious look. "I have been keeping busy, but I'm sure you have, too. Where have you been, David? What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?" she challenged, not looking for a fight, but more of an answer as to why he had shown up at her house so unexpectedly. He had betrayed her, & she still hadn't forgiven him for his actions.

"I have been in Paris, Erica doing some research on a drug study" he said as he sort of pushed his way in abit, and turned around to look her. "But to answer your question, no. I am not in any kind of trouble. I am behaving myself, I guess you can say, but enough about me Erica. I am more concerned about you and that bundle of joy that you are carrying." he said with a wicked smile. "I mean at your age, don't you think it is risky to be even carrying a child?" he asked as he crossed his arms. He knew that he was playing with fire asking her that question, but that is what he wanted. He wanted Erica to get riled up, because he loved that about her.
"Struck a nerve?" he asked as he shifted his head to the right, and looked to her, and then looked around. "Nice place you have here Erica. Are you and Jackson still together or is this another man's baby?"

Erica gave him a glare. "You know, David, my doctor has taken wonderful care of me & for your information, we are both doing perfectly fine. My baby is healthy & will be very happy coming home to live with me & his father," she told him, getting a little worked up.
The brunette then stepped aside. "If you wanted to come in, David, you could have just said so," Erica, walked in behind him, & eventually sat down on the couch in the living room. "To answer your question, yes, Jackson & I are still together, & yes, this is our baby. Here's a question for you, though: why do you think this is any of your business, David?"

"Oh Erica.." he said shaking his head at the woman. "You seem to forget that you once considered me family until I chose my daughter Babe over your family. See, I never gave up seeing you and Bianca as a part of my family like you all did, so in a way it does make it my business, Erica" he said as he leaned up against the wall, and smiled to her.
"And I think that you are going to need a cardiologist, because having a baby at your age, can be hard on the heart Erica, and you need the best, and you know that I am the best in my field, no matter what you think of me" he said. He then crossed his arms and looked over to her. "I am sure Jackson would agree..don't you?"

Erica shook her head. "Absolutely not! If Jackson even knew you were in this house... well, I'm sure you can use your twisted imagination to decide what my husband might do to you," she told him firmly.
She then continued, "Speaking of Bianca, when you decided to protect your daughter over doing what was right, & helping get Miranda back to my daughter, is when you gave up any right you had to even look at my daughter ever again. That is exactly how Jackson feels, if not stronger."
Erica then shook her head. "I know you the last thing you expected was to see me pregnant when you were on your way here, so what exactly brought you over to my house today? And what made you think I would even let you in?" she asked, looking him directly in the eye.

"Oh, but aren't you having fun talking about your pregnancy?" David asked as he went from leaning against the wall, to now in the living room, and sitting in one of the chairs. "I guess not. So, you want me to tell you why I came here? Fine, I will tell you" he said with a develish smile. "You and I haven't been close since I did what I did to Bianca, and I understand. You have good reason to hate me Erica, but don't you think that you need to get over it, Erica" he asked as he looked up to her.
"I mean, it has been about five years since that all fiasco deal, and yet you treat me like it was yesterday. Well, here is why I came to you. I thought you should know what I know about your son, Josh. Maybe if I tell you what I know, then you can forgive me for what I did all those years ago.."

Erica began to open her mouth, defend her actions like she had done so many times before, but then heard the name Josh slip out of David's mouth. She stopped. Her whole mood changed from defensive & ready to fight, to sad & near the brink of tears at just the sound of his name. "What about Josh? He's dead, David, & I had to make the decision to let him die. You know how much it kills me to talk about him," she said, already feeling a stray tear slide down her face.
Erica looked up at him after wiping her eyes. "So, what is it you think you know, David. And don't try to tell me you know how I feel, because you don't. I know you lost a little girl, but there was nothing you could do. I could have saved him... & I didn't," she said to herself, as more tears poured down her face.

"I don't know what your going through? I could have saved Leora, if I would have just made some different decisions back then. My daughter would have still been alive if I hadn't agreed to the pacemaker to be put in her. She was too young for that surgery, and I knew it Erica!" David said as he stood up from the chair, as he got upset with her. "Don't you ever tell me that I don't know what your going through, Erica! I have had to live with the decisions that I have made, and I am dealing with it!" David said, as a few tears could be seen rolling down his face.
David wasn't much a cryer, but when it came to talking about Leora, that was different. "But, I think you will need to hear what I have to say Erica, because after I tell you, then you won't be able to know how I feel day after day!" he said as he then walked towards her, and looked into her eyes.
"Your son Josh, is very much alive, and I know exactly where he is, and where he is staying" David revealed.

Erica watched David react to her words with regret. "David, I'm-I'm sorry... I didn't mean..." she trailed off as he shrugged her off & began talking about something that he had to say to her. She looked at him carefully, & her eyes once again filled with tears as he said that Josh was alive.
Erica felt like the world had been turned upside down. "J-Josh is alive? W-what do you mean he's alive?" Erica asked, getting frantic. "How do you know this? How do you know where he is? Did you have something to do with this David because I swear to God if you did..." she shook her head, letting his imagination come up with what she was capable of doing to the man. She also had to give him a chance to explain, & to catch her breath.

"Always jumping to conclusions aren't we Erica?" David asked, as his tone became more calm. "I was sworn to secrecy about his whereabouts, but I think we can come up with a deal.." David said with a smile. He had a plan, and he was going to make sure, it went that way. "You let me be your cardiologist during your pregnancy, and I will have to be there, during every appointment, monitoring your heart, and the baby's heart, and I will have to be in the delivery room. If I can do all of that, then I will let you know where your son is" he said as he extended out his hand to her.
"So, do we have a deal, or not? Because if not, I can assure you, you will never know where Josh is, and you will never get to see your son, ever again!" David warned. "So choose wisely"

Erica was floored. Why didn't she see this coming? She knew Jackson was going to be upset... actually, Jack was probably going to hate her. This pregnancy had already been so hard for them. But she wanted Josh... she needed him more than anything. He was her son, & she had already lost him once. She was not just going to lose him again. "Before I tell you my decision, I have to ask why, David," she said softly.
She cleared her throat, & then continued, "Why would you do this, David? You know damn well how Jack's going to react when he finds out... why would you want to put this stress on my during my pregnancy, especially when it's so risky? What are you going to gain by being in the room with me... by being part of the moment when I become a mother again?"

"The only thing I gain is by keeping you alive. You know that I am the doctor for that job. I mean for heavens sakes Erica, I saved Dixie's life on more than one occasion when she had her heart problems, and I am not saying you have a heart problem, but you must admit that having a baby at your age, is not very good for your heart, and even your doctor would agree with me. I think Jackson would rather have me on this case to keep you alive, than me not on this case, and you don't make it when you deliver this baby" David said, as he was being as straightforward as possible.
"But, it's your life Erica, and your decision. Do you loathe me that much, that you would not only risk your life, and this baby's life, but also risk not ever seeing your son Josh again?" David asked as he walked up to her. "I think you know what to do Erica, so do it.."

Erica shook her head. "After all these years living so close to my husband & you still don't know him. He'd rather you not be involved at all... but I... I have to know where my son is," she said, almost sadly that she had chosen Josh over her husband & unborn child. But Jackson had to understand... he had to get why she made this decision.
She then looked at David. "Yes, you can be my cardiologist & come to appointments... come to the delivery room with Jack & I. But I have to know where he is, David, so tell me! Tell me where my son is!" Erica nearly screamed. She had to see him now that she had given up any chance at a normal pregnancy to save him.

"Well, then we have a deal.." he said as he looked to her. "But there is just one more thing that you need to know, because it has to do with your son Josh. My daughter Babe is alive, and well, you must know that your son, and my daughter are hiding out together. I found them on my way back, and they wanted me to keep it a secret, but I remembered the last time, I kept a secret like this before, it blew up in my face, so I knew I had to tell you." he said as he looked to her.
"But, I will tell you where they are at. They are in a Cabin in the mountains. The address is 4507 Norrell Drive. Its about thirty minutes north of here Erica, but you are not going alone. I am coming with you.."
