A dire situation for Kristina and her unborn baby following her fall from Ava's suite. As her condition worsens, her family faces an agonizing wait. Will Kristina and her baby survive? And if the baby makes it, who will claim custody?

Kristina's Life Hangs in the Balance

Kristina's unborn child will continue to be in great danger. On August 2 episode, Kristina's physician provided some unsettling developments regarding her health and the future. Her fall from Ava's apartment window into the Metro Court pool resulted in multiple internal injuries.

Kristina experienced serious bleeding as a result, which put her in hypovolemic shock. The placenta was the baby's lifeline, so it was perilous that it was detaching from the uterus, the doctor added, indicating that the infant was in fetal distress.

Kristina was thus being transported to the operating room for an emergency C-section, but it appears that things could go horribly wrong during the procedure. Her loved ones will require a miracle by the time the August 6 episode airs! This C-section ought to happen in the episode that airs on August 5! The family of Kristina will undoubtedly be wishing and praying a lot, but will they be doing so for Kristina, the baby, or both?

Custody Battle Looms

Time will tell, but regardless of how this all plays out, there will be valid reasons to be concerned. But for the time being, let's concentrate on the chance that Kristina's baby will make it through this C-section. Who is to get custody of the child if it survives? There's a risk that Kristina will go into a coma for a while, in which case TJ might file for a court order to take custody of the child in the interim.

That being said, in the middle of all this Kristina drama, Morgan is going to pay Sonny a visit. If Morgan showed here without leading to the miracle Kristina so urgently needs, it would be a strange sight. If a heavenly visitor doesn't perform a miracle, what good is it?

Morgan might only exist in Sonny's imagination, of course, but it is not hard to picture him barging into his sister's room and telling her it is not time to leave. In the unlikely event that Kristina regains consciousness, she will undoubtedly become even closer to the child. After going through this terrifying experience, Kristina might be determined to keep her new child for herself, which would be a serious setback for TJ and Molly in terms of custody.

Will TJ and Kristina ultimately need to go to court, as TJ has been concerned about? Since she will not be the baby's biological parent and will not have any legal claim against him or her, Molly might feel alienated in that situation. Keep checking back for updates on Kristina's medical crisis and forecasts regarding potential custody disputes, as it will undoubtedly change the course of events.
