Couple: Bray and Amber (Bramber forever!)

Type: One shot

Summary: Betrayal and defeat are like friends. The baby's arrived and Bray must deliver his baby. What really happened when the Techno's invaded? When Bray is their only hope, he must fight to the end, whatever the cost.

"Arrh!" she cried out. The pain was too much! Why wasn't she warned it would hurt this much? Another surge of pain wash over Amber's weakening body.

"Bray! It's too soon! Its too soon!" she bellowed.

"I've done this before, remember?" Bray attempted to comfort her. In pain, the surges rocked right through her. Why couldn't Trudy have warned her?

"It HURTS!" she screamed.

In the distance, a plane flew closer to the barn. A plane? That was a shock! Hadn't heard one of those since the virus and yet it was so distinctive, even above Amber's gut wrenching screams. In curiosity, Bray wandered over closer towards the door. Amber let out yet another scream and he hurried back.

"Amber!" he called. When he sat back down beside her, he felt it. Amber was bleeding. He rummaged through his brain back to what he learned about pregnancy. Bleeding wasn't normal. Something was terribly wrong. He felt down between her legs and there was that dreadful dark liquid. Pushing the disgust out of his mind, he smeared it between his hands and reached for his girlfriend again in an attempt to soothe her.

The plane went right over the barn, which led him to believe nothing was wrong. Still holding Amber, he stroked the side of her face quickly, but gently. He looked around to see a man with a metal face standing in the entrance to the barn. Without a thought, his protective instinct completely overcome him and he charged at the man. He ducked out of Bray's way and then turned to see Bray come to a halt and then turn also. Bray's anger was rising and his temper fuming. He knew he had to fight with all he had.

Taking a deep breath, he lunged at the man once more, grabbing him by his forearms and throwing him to the ground. Before Bray could drop to give a final blow, the man grabbed him and flung him over his own head. Bray laid there with dizziness slowly creeping over him. Bray took to his feet. There was no way a stranger was going to take his girlfriend and his baby from him; not now. Bray grabbed the man once again by the arms and turned him around so they were facing the same way.

Bray had the man in a headlock and was about to give him a blow to the head, when the man wriggled his arms out of the death grip and came back and threw a punch in the side of Bray's jaw. Dropping the man out of reflex and pain, Bray stumbled back, holding his jaw; eyes darting to the front door to the barn and back to his opponent.

There was only one thing Bray could do; drop Amber's ring so she would know what happened. He only hoped that she would live that long. On the top of his lungs, Bray screamed "I LOVE YOU AMBER!" and then turned to face the man.

Bray invited defeat like an old friend and took the last blow to the head, which in return, knocked him out stone cold. The man with the metal face dragged Bray away, leaving Amber and their baby to defend for themselves.
