The night of the explosion at the party had been confusing. Hectic. Mixed messages and interrupted conversations really. Having gone back to her mother's side the last thing Sophia remembered was hearing her mother beg for her to leave, it was too dangerous. She was shot then.
The hospital was a mess really. Party goers flooded the place, there were many injured, many looking for those injured. Sophia was enduced into a coma and taken into emergency surgery. In secret, shortly after having found out about Sean and Keiko (again), Sophia had spent some time with Thomas Locke. But left for her mother in Italy. It had been at the party they had seen each other again. She was pregnant but made no claims as to whether he was the father or not. Either way Thomas was in the hospital, pacing and waiting for the outcome of the night, avoiding Stella's men.
While the hospital, pushed to it's limits, tried to keep everything straight sometimes things fall through the cracks. While Thomas was informed that Sophia survived, somehow word was given to Stella that she died during surgery. Stella, desperate now to cling to anything stole the child from the nursery and ran into the night. She dissappeard with the child and sent word the baby had died to the states.
With Sophia's child missing someone assumed the baby had died and informed her of such. Distraught she left the hospital before anything could be cleared up with Thomas. Thomas took her out of the country with private nurses to make sure she survived the injuries.
She remained with Thomas, motionless in grief and heartbreak. She had no desire to return to the states, unable to face Sean with Keiko. She felt abandoned by the mother who had vanished. Unable to deal with the world she simply shut down for sometime. But yet it was Thomas who had pulled her from it. She found herself very much in love.
They live as though they were married though no legal preceeding had been done. Sophia took his last name in order to help her old self vanish. Sophia Donato simply didn't exist to her anymore. She had a son with Thomas, John. While it was hard at first she has managed to work through her grief and provide the kind of love a son should have.
