Part 5
"I got here as fast as I could. How's Annie?" An out of breath Emily asked.
"She's better. They finally stabilized her. But they won't let me see her."
"And the baby?"
"She's perfect."
"You had a girl?" Emily reaches over and hugs Jude, "Congratulations."
"She's so perfect. I just wish I could share her with Annie."
"I'm sure that as soon as she's able they will let you see her."
"I know. So where's Bette? What's wrong? Did something happen? Emily?"
"I can't say."
"Where's Bette Emily?"
"She left town."
"Why?"
Emily looks down and then back up at Jude. "I promised I wouldn't say anything to anybody."
"Why not? What happen? Is she sick or something."
Emily looked back up at Jude and he knew he had hit the nail on the head.
"She has cancer. She's going to die."

"Gregory? Honey you home?"
"Yes, sweetheart in the study."
Olivia walks towards the study pausing only to give Trey a light kiss on he forehead.
"Honey, I have wonderful news."
For the first time in their entire marriage Gregory began picking up his papers. He had never chosen Olivia over work. He had never chosen anything over work.
"Well?"
"I'm pregnant."
"What?"
"We are having a baby. Is that the best news?"
*****************************************************************
"How's she doing?" Paula asked.
Gabi had spent the entire night trying to stop Lolita from having a nervous breakdown. But even Gabi couldn't keep Lolita from tattering close to the edge.
"Not good. At least now she's not hallucinating anymore."
"I can't believe this is happening."
"What did you think that he only raped me? That he had gotten over his pedophile behavior."
"No, I know that dad will never change. I wish I didn't have to watch it all over again."
"I can't believe you would say that to me."
"Gabi I didn't mean it like that."
"I'm so sorry you have to see what our father is really like. I'm sorry that you can't stop remembering the father that was nice to you and didn't rape you. What about me, Paula? That man raped me. And watching Lolita go though this is like being raped all over again."
"Gabi, I."
Gabi grabbed her purse and left. She never thought she would fight like that with Paula again. She thought the days of their petty fights were over.
As Gabi got in her car and tears began to fall from her eyes and the desperate feeling she was so used to from her childhood became to return.

Cole and Caitlin held hand tightly as the doctor examined Caitlin.
"Mrs. Deschanel I thought that you hadn't given birth to you baby."
"I didn't. I was at a Mission and a nurse removed the baby." Caitlin thought back to the day when he baby had died in the mission after the car crash.
"Are you positive?"
"Yes, my baby was removed from my uterus by surgery. That's why the doctor thought I was infertile."
"Mind if I ask who you saw?"
"Tyus Robinson."
"Dr. Michels, what are you getting at?" Cole asked noticing how the conversation was upsetting Caitlin.
"Although you have a scar from the surgery. Your baby was born."
"What? Are baby was born?" Caitlin face quickly turned to one of shear joy.
"But was it born alive?" Cole asked not wanted to see Caitlin let down by the possibility that their baby was alive.
"I couldn't say for sure. But has far as this one goes." Dr. Michels places a hand on Caitlin's belly, "Everything looks fine.
Dr. Michels leaves.
"Did you hear that Cole? Are baby was born. He's alive I know he is. I can feel It."
"Caitlin he's not he's gone."
"But the doctor…"
"He was wrong. Just like Tyus was wrong about us never having kids."
"It's as If you don't want him to be alive."

"What did he do to you?" Bree asked not sure she wanted to know.
"The same thing he does to everyone."
"Why do you need my help?"
"Because two woman determined to make one man pay is better than one woman determined to make on man pay. And beside don't you want to see Ross's life crumble more than it already has and know that you are the reason for it."
"Alright I'll help you. What are we going to do?"
"Hit him where it hurts the most. His daughter Lisa."
*****************************************************************
Samantha and Ricardo sat behind the glass waiting for the guards to get Tess.
A frail image of what Ricardo remembered walked through the doors. As she looked at Ricardo hatred shown in her eyes. Not for him but for his sister.
"What do you want?"
"Your help." Samantha asked as she pushed a photo against the glass. "Someone you know kidnapped this girl."
"Why should I help you?"
"If you don't want to help us fine but think about her mother. She's lived the last two years without her child."
"So have I and its all your sister's fault. She took my son away from me." Tess screamed infuriated.
"And whose fault is it, Tess? This woman child was taking from her by a monster. Maria is ten times the mother you ever could be." Ricardo said back unable to keep his composer.
"Who's Ross English, Tess?" Sam asked obviously the more calm of the two.
Finally in a small voice Tess responded, "My husband."
*****************************************************************
A tall handsome mall stands at the edge of the beach looking towards Ben and Meg's house. He can hear them fighting inside. Just as before fate has given him a chance. A chance to make up for all Ben has done to him.
"Oh brother dear. It's shame you won't be alive to throw me a welcome home party."
Derek retrieved the outfit he hadn't worn in so long and slipped on his deathface garb.
"Let the fun begin." Derek says with a glint in his eyes and an evil laugh, "Let the games begin."
*****************************************************************
Bree didn't know why she was trusting Teresa but she was. Ross had obviously done some bad things in his time and since the police couldn't do anything about Bree knew that it was time to take manners into her own hands.
She had just left Teresa at the Inn where she was staying. Both knew it was dangerous to be seen together but Bree couldn't let her go alone…not with Ross around.
Bree sat down on a park bench watching the sunset. Never had she seen such beauty as she did in Sunset Beach…. And never had she seen such evil and hatred.
But for the first time Bree wasn't afraid of anything…until a hand clamped down on her mouth making her unable to scream for help.
