From the above photos,
from the above "Baby Bump promo for week of June 30- July 4",
and from the extended summer preview/trailer (Link to summer trailer thread)
it looks like Sophia gives birth alone!  Then drops the baby off at the anonymous baby drop-off box at the fire station, and paramedic Javi finds the baby there. And then she lies to Tate that there were adoptive parents ready at the birth who took the baby home with them.  And meanwhile Javi takes the baby home and shows Leo.

Sophia seriously does NOT want to be a mother, but wants the baby to be safe.  Nobody was helping her, so I guess she feels this is her option?

Honestly, idk if I'm a fan of this. If anything, they should've waited and had Sophia give birth at the same time that Tate was off saving Holly and Ari from Doug III's loan sharks. 

She could be so angry at Tate rushing off that that could've been the catalyst to make her go into labor, and then drop the baby off.

If Sophia only told Tate she was pregnant in mid-December, and the baby was born now, the timeline’s compressed. Even allowing for a quiet first trimester, it raises the question: is Tate actually the father, or are the writers setting up a reveal?

Although in Salem, gestation is less biology, more plot convenience; anywhere from 30 to 95 weeks.

I thought that's what Days was going to do, but now I'm not so sure.

Are we having another two gays and a baby mess of story? 

Leo seriously needs to be written out of the show.

@AbcNbc247  Agreed, Tate's (completely unnatural) baby obsession seems to suggest that he's the daddy.

Sophia was always set up as an antagonist in Tate and Holly’s story, and that worked. But she was also written as composed and pragmatic; someone who expressed how humiliating it felt to go through her senior year pregnant. She had clarity about what she wanted, and the adoption plan reflected that.

Now, in the summer preview, she gives birth alone in her bedroom and apparently leaves the baby at a fire station. Then we’re supposed to believe she turns around and tries to humiliate Holly by circulating a photo of her in a bra? That’s not just a sharp turn—it breaks the rules they’d established for whom this character was.

She could stay in conflict with the leads without being turned into a caricature. And when the character starts behaving in ways that don’t track, it puts pressure on the actress to make sense of something that doesn’t.  Which seems too taxing for such a new actor.

Rachel Boyd did a couple of interviews about this process, posted starting here (Link)   Mostly just about finding an approach to act giving birth, but then she also says a little more.
