Now that they knew what was making Emily sick, they could treat her. Nothing would be as good as finally destroying the Nighlok who had infected her, but the Samurai could make her comfortable. For now she had an IV going into her hand. Ji had had to counteract the effects of Sanzu Water poisoning before and had come up with an antidote that would work. It had once healed Mike from his Spider-Nighlok form and Storm from her werewolf form. The drip, as well as drinking plenty of water would ensure Emily's survival.

But that was no comfort to Emily. It seemed she had reached the same conclusion as Serena and Mia, and was now just waiting for the bad news that her unborn child was dead. The fact that the doctor's gloves were covered in blood did nothing to disprove her theory. She couldn't feel the cramps over the stomach pains from the Nighlok, but she was certain she was experiencing them and that the blood was not a sign of her illness, but of miscarriage.

The doctor came back from the bathroom after being inside for what felt like an eternity. He had done something, but over the pain and the upset Emily was feeling, she hadn't bothered to ask him what. She just let him carry on, hoping he could and would do something to save her baby.

"It is official," he whispered as he walked over to the bed, holding a little box in his hands, "The Sanzu Water poisoned and killed the baby."

Serena, who had come in to comfort her sister while the others all dealt with Mike and his understandable tantrum, took her sister's hand and squeezed it. Emily sat up. Her stomach still hurt her, and she had to fight her own body so she didn't double over in pain, but she managed to prop herself up and look into the box the doctor had in his hands. He passed it to her and whispered an apology.

"This is the sac, along with what would have been your baby," the doctor added, "I thought you might want to say goodbye."

"Doc…" Serena was about to say something to the doctor, unsure this was the right thing for Emily. Her little sister had been the one to cry for days when she realized that the disappearance of the farm animals coincided with the appearance of the meat on her plate at dinner. Though she had always been happy when the roosters disappeared (having never loved the mean-spirited animals in the first place), she spent hours crying in Serena's arms when she had been told her father slaughtered them. She refused to speak to her father for weeks after that, until it was properly explained to her that chickens, cows, and pigs were food, and people needed to eat food. It also helped when, one evening, their mother baked an apple pie and refused to let Emily eat even a crumb until she finished the chicken on her plate.

Showing Emily her dead unborn child was a bad, very bad move on the doctor's part, or so Serena thought. With a very shaky hand, Emily grabbed the box and looked inside. The little baby was extremely tiny, but Emily could already make out what would have been arms and legs, and the head was about half the size of the entire embryo.

Serena looked to her sister as Emily stared at the little baby. She could tell Emily was hurting but she saw something else in her little sister's eyes. Emily looked to the baby the same way Serena had looked down at Terran when she saw him for the first time. Circumstances were very different, but in the end it was all the same.

"Serrator's not going to win," Serena promised and gave her sister a kiss on the head. "He's going to pay for this, I swear."

"I want to bury her beside Scruffy," Emily whispered and tried to get out of bed, but the pain immobilized her and Serena lowered her back down.

"We'll do that later," she said. She gently took the box from Emily's hands and gave it back to the doctor. He took it back to the bathroom, giving the girls some privacy. Serena brushed her sister's hair away from her face, "Once you're feeling better, we'll bury her."

Storm, who had been laying at the foot of the bed, got up and carefully walked to the top of the bed. She put her two front paws on Emily's chest and looked to her mistress sadly. She knew Emily was in a lot of pain and wanted to do something to help.

"Stay with her, Storm," Serena told the dog and then started to leave the bedside. Emily sobbed which caused Serena to turn around.

"Please don't leave."

Serena looked to Emily, "I'm going to find that Nighlok, Em. I'll kill him."

"L-Let Mike kill him," Emily whispered. "I'm sure he wants to."

"Emily…"

"Please," Emily begged, "don't leave."

Serena sighed. She wanted nothing more than to destroy the Nighlok that had hurt her sister and Mike, except maybe to see her sister get better. She walked back over to the bed, sat down, and pulled her sister into her arms.

"Is the antidote helping?"

Emily held Serena tightly and shook her head, "I don't know."

"It's going to get easier, I promise."

"Once we beat Serrator, right?"

"Yeah," Serena nodded her head. She stroked her sister's back gently. "We'll stop that Nighlok that hurt you, and then you'll come back in full form, and with your help, we'll stop Serrator, and we'll be unbeatable. For baby."

"You're going to help us stop Serrator?" Emily asked. Serena pulled away and reached into her pocket. She pulled out the yellow Samuraizer and handed it back to Emily. The youngest sister looked up in horror, "You're giving up?"

"No," Serena shook her head and put the Samuraizer in Emily's hand, "You're going to need this. I can't really pull off yellow. White's more my colour."

Emily managed a smile and gripped the Samuraizer tightly as tears dripped down her cheeks, "I… I still think we can win."

"We are going to win. That little monkey's going to pull us together, you'll see," Serena smiled, "Just like her mother always does."

Emily smiled again and leaned into her sister, "You think?"

"Of course," Serena nodded. "She'll give us that push we need to get it together. We'll stop Serrator, we'll seal Xandred away for good, and we'll make this world a better place for the next baby. Little monkey's little brother or sister. She'll be looking down on us, on her little sibling, and she'll be happy knowing she helped make the world a better place for little monkey II. After all, if she's anything like her aunt, that's all she really wants."

Serena gave Emily another kiss on the top of the head and then gently laid her down, "Get some rest, if you can. Do you want anything for your stomach? Is it still hurting?"

Emily shook her head, "I know what I wanted to name the baby."

"What?" Serena asked as she took a seat beside the bed.

"Well, it was just the middle name. I figured Mike should have a say on the first name."

"What were you thinking?"

"If the baby was a boy, I wanted to name him James," Emily managed as smile as she looked to her sister. "He helped me a lot with this… short pregnancy."

"He really did," Serena nodded and returned the smile. "I picked a good one this time, huh?"

"Better than the last," Emily chuckled. She rolled over to her side and looked straight at her sister, "Want to know what I would have named her if she was a girl?"

"What?"

"Mia."

The smile fell from Serena's face and it was obvious she didn't know what to say. She couldn't argue the name. Her sister had just lost her unborn child. The name the baby would have if it had been a girl really wasn't something to fight over, but it was still unexpected, and if Serena was allowed to feel this pain while her sister grieved over the loss of her child she was hurt.

"M… Mia?"

"She's been there for me right from the start," Emily nodded her head. "She was like a sister to me, you know."

"Well, yeah, but, Em…"

"Is something wrong?" Emily asked. Serena bit her lip nervously. There was really no complaining at this point.

"Uh… well…"

Emily giggled, "Relax, Serena. Of course I would have middle named her after you. Mia's going to have to wait for a second daughter, if she gets that lucky."

Serena took her sister's hand, "I'm so proud of you, Emily."

"We'll beat the Nighlok. All of them, right?"

"I promise."

"For Serena James?"

Serena nodded her head, "Yeah, Em. For Serena James."
