~~~ As I Am Prologue
I disclaim
*** How stupid is it of me to begin another story, but moron that I am I continue as thought I finished all of most of them (that's a lye.) So here it is, I should warn you thought none of the characters mentioned, even thought they sound familiar are like they are in ay of my other fics.***
"We're sorry there was nothing that could have done."
It played in her head like a mantra, nothing that could have been done, yes there was, but she didn't do it, She should have left, when she realized Miguel would be no help, when she found out she was pregnant, she should have left, as soon as she turned eighteen and realized that she was still the in the same place she was at sixteen.
The only person she could truly blame for her daughter's death was herself, she lied, schemed, manipulated, and sinned, and her baby girl had paid the price.
She should repent, or make amend, or pray for forgiveness, but she wasn't lying to herself anymore. Kay looked up and meet her reflection in the mirror, she would never be good like Charity or Jessica, swearing to God that she would changed would only get her struck by lightening, the time had come for her to be truthful with herself, about herself. "You're truly evil Bennet."
It actually made her feel better, she didn't have to put on some act the next time Miguel and company came into the room, no more holding her tongue, and keeping her dislike in check. It was the freest she felt in a long time, it was just unfortunate what the ability had cost her. She felt the tears threatened and shook them off, she couldn't do this right now, right now she had to make arrangements, right now she had to make this right, and then when she was alone she would mourn.
The sound of the door opening had her wiping her eyes, and walking out of the bathroom. She walked back out into the main part of her hospital room and saw Dr. McKoy. The doctor that helped Dr.Russell, was younger, and a definitely who she needed to speak to if she wanted anything down without her family know." Dr. McKoy, I was just going to go look for you."
"Oh. Glad I could save you the trip, how can I help?"
Kay took a deep breath, and meets the doctor's eyes." I need to go."

Four hours later
"Sam, it was his child too, I don't think it asking too much for her to have his last name."
Sam Bennet stared at Luis in wonderment; he counted to ten
at least three times, before he felt calm enough to speak." Luis, now is not
the time to do his, okay?" He never in
his life wanted to punch someone as much as he wanted to punch his friend, at
this very moment he thought Miguel was asking for too much just to breathe. "We'll
settle this later, after I've talked to Kay, and see how she's doing, in case
you forgot, she lost her daughter?"
Miguel watched the in silence, he didn't really think Sam was going to let his name appeared a head stone, but fighting for it made Luis feel better, so he let him do it. In truth he didn't want her to have a tombstone, it made it too real, this was much easier if he thought of her as just a baby, or the baby if didn't give her a name, then she wasn't really dead. That he could handle.
"Daddy what's taking so long?" Jessica asked as she snuggled deeper into Reese's embrace, the waiting as getting to everyone, if no came soon, she was sure they would be a fight.
Sam gave his youngest a sad smile." I don't know baby, I'm sure their just giving Kay a check up or something." The lye came out easily, in the back of him however Sam, was wondering he same thing, it had been at least twenty four hours since anyone had last seen Kay, after the Eve pronounced the baby dead, she had refused all visitors, Dr.McKoy said it was normal, but now he was getting worried, Kay didn't need to be alone, she needed her family, she even needed the little twerp Miguel.
"I'll go see what's happening. " Hank walked toward the nurse station, and flashed his trademark smile at the nurse." Excuse me, could you tell me what's happening with my niece Kay Bennet?"
"Sure." The petite nurse, begun typing away on her computer, before she looked back up." Kay Bennet was released.
"Excuse me, that can't be she gave birth yesterday?"
"No it's right here." She pointed to a line on the screen." Kay Bennet signed herself out two hours ago."
Sam walked over and glared at the nurse." That's ridiculous, how can she sign herself out?" The sound of footsteps him turning just in time to catch Eve's breathless entrance." Eve, what's going on?"
Eve took a breath, and wondered the best way to break the news, but knew the truth was all the only real option she had "She left Sam, I just found out that went against doctors orders and signed her out." She turned to look at Miguel, and gave him a sympathetic look." She also this note for you."
Miguel took the note with trembling hands, and well aware the entire Bennet clan watched him as he read it.
Miguel
The last thing I ever ask you is bury our daughter properly. The small victim in our screwed up lives deserves it.
Kay
The note was scrawled on a post it, attached to a bigger piece of paper, when he unfolded it he saw that it was the birth certificate. Finally able to meet Sam's eye he repeated what he knew to be true." She's gone."
