[Knock on door]

Lucky: I have somebody here who wants to see you.

Elizabeth: Jake.

Lucky: Who's that?

Elizabeth: Hey, buddy! Hi! Do you miss Mommy? Hi!

Lucky: The doctors say he's doing great.

Elizabeth: Oh, good.

Lucky: I didn't need them to tell me the reason is because you acted so quickly. I've seen enough smoke victims to know what you did was truly amazing.

Elizabeth: Well, I did what any parent would've done.

Lucky: Jason stop by to see you and Jake?

Elizabeth: No, uh-uh.

Lucky: Well, it's probably too hard to see the two of you, especially after the agreement we made.

Elizabeth: Well, I know it's hard for you being the father of record, being the one they're always going to call.

Lucky: You know, Jake -- he may not be mine, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything to make sure he's okay.

Elizabeth: I'm glad to hear you say that, because I have a favor to ask.

=====

Elizabeth: Dr. Julian wants me to stay a few extra days just to make sure my stitches don't tear open.

Lucky: That's good -- I mean, considering. I mean, most of the time they push patients out of here. I remember when Jake -- he was born, they tried --

Elizabeth: Yeah, Ms. Sneed -- she said she was going to kick him out the next day, and you put the fear of God into her.

Lucky: You know, I meant what I said; I'd do anything for that little boy. I'd have gone into that house after him without a second thought.

Elizabeth: I know. Well, this favor doesn't involve rushing into burning buildings, but it's a lot for me to ask. Cameron's really freaked out. He doesn't know what's happened to me, and Jake has been through more than he can possibly understand. Gram has offered to take them, but I --

Lucky: No, it's okay. They're my sons -- not just on paper, and not just because of an agreement. You know what? I'll take a few days off, I'll watch them until you're back on your feet.
