Well, can you tell me when you're gonna come back?

Yeah. It's just... it's just so hard.

case, I'm gonna hold you to it.

>> Maggie: "Although Holly is my child and Daniel's, I know that

the nine months you carried her bonded you with her in a very

special way. Because of the bond and because

you gave birth to her, you love her with all your heart.

And that's why, if anything should happen to me,

it's my wish that my sweet daughter be raised by you."

Daniel's son Parker." Oh, my God.

She convinced me that Holly would give Eric the help that he

needs to put his grief behind him...

I mean, I didn't feel a lotta love between the two fellas.

>> Will: You're not talking about Sonny Kiriakis and Leo

Starke, are you? >> Sheila: Yeah. Those are the

grooms in question. >> Will: S-so...

so that's it, then. Sonny...sonny married Leo.

>> Sheila: Sure did. To death do them part.

>> Chloe: I want Eric to spend time with Holly.

Like Maggie said, it could help heal him.

>> Brady: That's a lot to put on a little kid.

>> Chloe: Yeah, but if it does heal him, maybe he will forgive

you. >> Brady: Chloe, you don't have

to worry about that. It's not your concern.

>> Chloe: I do worry about that. I worry about you.

I worry about Eric and what this will do to him.

>> Brady: Right. Eric--he will understand.

He loved Nicole. He'll wanna honor her...

her wishes. >> Chloe: I just hope that he

sees that Holly being raised with her brother is the best

possible scenario. >> Brady: And once he reads

Nicole's letter...he's not gonna have much of a choice.

>> Eric: That's, uh...that's a tough call.

I mean, I know you have a job back in Chicago.

But, you know, I think there's a lotta reasons you should think

about staying. >> Sarah: Yeah? You...

you think I should stay? >> Eric: I think...

I think you need to do what's best for you.

It's just... >> Sarah: What?

>> Eric: You'll be missed. You know, by Holly...

[laughs] Uh...

>> Sarah: I-I'd, uh, miss her too.

>> Eric: Hey, Maggie. Hey, I've got some great news.

I found this perfect apartment for me and Holly to move into.

>> Sarah: It was kind of crazy how it all happened.

We were at the Pub and Will came in and he was talking about this

apartment that he had gotten for he and Paul.

>> Eric: Right. And since Paul left, because Will, you know, he

can't afford it all... >> Sarah: Right. And so he was

looking for somebody to take over the lease.

>> Maggie: Eric-- >> Eric: Maggie, you gotta see

it, I mean, it's got tons of light, i-it's got a park--

>> Maggie: Eric-- >> Eric: It's walking distance

to everything, and once I kid proof it all, it'll be perfect--

>> Maggie: Eric! >> Eric: For Holly and...me.

>> Maggie: We need to talk. >> Eric: Yeah.

>> Maggie: It's about a letter Nicole left for Chloe.
