Chapter 3

"What do you want Mother?" Britt Westbourne was frustrated. She and Nikolas were finally in a good place. She had moved back in to Wyndamere and her practice was stronger than ever.

"I only want to help you. I think it is time for Mother to assist you in securing your future with your Prince."

"And what do you propose I do?"

"It is quite simple Britta. You give him a child." She saw Britt's face light up and knew she had her. "I will do everything, you just have to get me a couple of things and I will do the rest."

Britt was confused. She loved Nikolas and wanted nothing more than to have a life with him but what her mother was suggesting was dangerous and could blow up in her face. But, they were sharing a bed and it wouldn't be that hard to get what her mother needed for the procedure. Nikolas still wasn't sure and this would guarantee her the future and stability she craved and needed.

In the end, Britt's fears won out as she turned to her mother. "When do you want to get started?"

Robin's day had been horrible. Poor Emma was so upset and all she wanted to do was hold her and tell it was going to be alright. But she couldn't do it. All she could do was assure Emma that she did love her and that she always would. It wasn't enough but it would have to do until Robin could escape Helena's clutches.

"Your dinner." The guard brought the tray in and Robin started eating. Chicken with asparagus and stuffing. At least she was being well fed. She ate without tasting.

After she finished her meal she took her meds on schedule. She had been able to maintain her protocol because they needed her healthy to continue her work. Suddenly Robin was very sleepy; she could barely keep her eyes open.

"I'll just lie down for a second." Robin said out loud to herself.

She was out before her head hit the pillow.

Helena walked into the room and instructed the guard to pick up Robin and bring her with them.

Robin never even stirred.
