Today's Kish scenes started with Oliver standing guard outside Stacy's door and Kyle showing up with some breakfast for him. After Fish told Kyle that he was sweet for surprising him like that, Kyle replied that he hoped Oliver still thought so after he got in Stacy's face again about the baby's paternity.
Fish told Kyle that they'd been over this already- why would Stacy tell Schuyler the baby was his if she wasn't sure? Kyle astutely pointed out that Stacy had something on Schuyler, that he'd lose Gigi if she found out the truth. Didn't Fish want to know if he was about to become a father?
Oliver said that he'd never even thought about being a dad before and Kyle told him that maybe he should start. Fish told his boyfriend that it wasn't the time or the place to be discussing whether or not he wanted to have kids, and Kyle asked when the right time would be, when Stacy's child graduated high school?
Fish told him to stop, that everything was just hypothetical so far. They were interrupted by Stacy and Rex at that point, and Kyle made a hasty exit, directly followed by Rex. Once they were alone, Stacy asked Oliver what the lover's quarrel she and Rex had just walked in on was all about and he told her that Kyle wasn't convinced that the baby was Schuyler's.
Stacy reiterated that she was completely sure Schuyler was the father, but Fish reminded her that she'd had sex with him just a few days after she'd been with Schuyler. How could she be sure? Stacy claimed that a woman just knows, that she'd felt something that night with Schuyler, and then she proceeded to claim that medical technology is so advanced these days that they can practically pinpoint conception down to the minute, and her doctor had confirmed the day she'd been with Joplin was indeed the big day.
Stacy told Fish to relax and do his happy dance, he wasn't going to be a father. The only baby daddy her child was going to know was Rex. Fish bought all of this a little too eagerly, I have to say, but I can't really blame him. The alternative is pretty scary, after all.
Oliver admitted to being relieved, saying that after so many years of being in the closet he was finally with Kyle and having an unplanned child could really put pressure on a relationship.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Kyle unwittingly witnessed Schuyler's reluctant theft of a prescription pad so that he could get Stacy the meds she'd need to induce labor a month early. Kyle wanted to know if Schuyler was sure that he was really the father of Stacy's child.
Without reveling Oliver's involvement, Kyle asked Schuyler how he could be so certain when he knew that Stacy had also tried to sleep with Kyle himself. Who was to say she didn't sleep with someone else to increase her odds of getting pregnant? Before they could discuss it any further, Kyle was paged and had to leave. It seemed for a moment like Schuyler might actually be considering the possibility Kyle had raised, but then he filled in the prescription pad for Oxytocin.
Later, Kyle called Fish and told him that he'd just assisted in an appendectomy in which they were complications. Though they didn't lose the patient, the experience made Kyle realize that he wouldn't know what to do if he ever lost Oliver. Fish assured his boyfriend that he wasn't going to be losing him, and Kyle apologized for their argument. Fish apologized, too, and told Kyle that he'd talked to Stacy again and she was sure the baby wasn't his.
On his end of the phone, Kyle's facial expression indicated exactly what he thought of Stacy's statement, but he told Oliver that he was glad he'd talked to her again. Fish said that he was, too, and that he just wanted their lives to be about the two of them for awhile.
Uh oh, that was very ominous. I always get nervous when a character on a soap tells a loved one that they don't know what they'd do if they ever lost them. It usually means that something bad is about to happen to said loved one!
There's plenty of reason to worry about Oliver's safety. Mitch Laurence and his henchwoman Nurse Charles have kidnapped his biological daughter Jessica Buchanan and have a crib all prepared in his lair for Stacy's baby, a.k.a. The Chosen One or The Prince of Peace, if you will. Mitch informed Jessica today that she'd be the child's mother. Oliver could be the only thing standing between Mitch and the baby when he comes for it. Gulp!
