 As
a gynecologist, John
Ballard is the obstetrician
who follows Victoria
Lane's
pregnancy. He provides an even more important follow-up because
of the car accident of
his patient, that she had
in company of Eden Capwell.
At the end of the exams
he made Victoria pass,
he seems reassured : his
patient's pregnancy is going very well.
Due
to his job, John
Ballard makes two
announcements to Victoria. The
first one is the gender of the
child she is expecting. He
is a boy, C.C. Capwell's
first blood grand-son. The
second announcement is
related to the future legacy
of this child, now
that we know he is a boy.
Through his rounds of golf
with his good friend C.C.,
John Ballard learned
the particularities of Emmett Capwell's
will : his very first great-grand-son
will inherit the greater
part of the Capwell inheritance. If John
Ballard is happy
with their luck, it
does not seem to be the case of Victoria.
One
day, he comes in emergency
at Mason and Victoria's
apartment to calm her down, after that violent
contractions let him
consider the risk of a
preterm delivery. This
will eventually happen.
This
is also Dr.
Ballard who hosts Victoria
at the hospital after the
delivery and who makes
her pass some exams. Upon Victoria's
arrival, he hastens to warn
C.C. Capwell (who
calls him Jim) of the birth
of his grand-son.
