"We need to do something to pull my mom and Bo out of the dark, bottomless pit they seem to be in. I need a few minutes with my mom...I have something that I need to ask her," Rachel said as she rubbed her stomach. Her mom was wrong...she knew exactly what it was like to be a mother and to be responsible for another human life. She also knew what it was to be afraid. The chances of carrying this child to term was slim and the doctors had warned her that the pregnancy and delivery could kill her, but she didn't have the heart to terminate the pregnancy. She hadn't told anybody that she was pregnant, because she needed to tell her mom and Bo first. "I've tried to get in and see my mom, but she refuses to talk to me. I say that we stage an intervention."

"That sounds like a great plan. I'll help you break in...we'll kick down the door if we have too," Kevin stated.

Kevin, Joey, Kelly and Rachel drove to Bo and Nora's house.

Kevin and Joey picked the lock and they were soon inside the house.

"What the hell are you doing?" Bo asked as he came out with his gun drawn. "I thought you were a burgler...I could have shot one of you."

"Bo, where's my mom? We need to have an intervention." Rachel stated.

Brody didn't know how he was going to distract Jessica so he did the first thing that came to his mind and he kissed her.

"You need to leave." His normally relaxed face was now a reflection of sadness. The same man who was always a few seconds from cracking a joke or wise ass comment, now seemed a few seconds away from total destruction.

"Bo," Rachel repeated, attempting to push past him. "I want to talk to my mother."

"She doesn't want to talk to anyone right now, Rachel. Neither do I...now like I said, you need to leave."

"Just let her in, Uncle Bo. Let her talk to her. Maybe she can help." Kevin stepped forward hesitantly.

Bo reached into his pocket for his phone.

"What are you doing? Who are you calling?" Rachel asked.

"I told you to leave...If you want do it because I ask you to, maybe you'll do it to stay out of jail."

Rachel's eyes burned with fury. "She's my mother," she hissed, her voice horse with emotion. The tears began to fill her eyes. "I just want to help."

"You want to help her...leave her be," Bo replied sadly, heading up the stairs. "You should be gone when I come back.

Rachel turned to look at the others. "Can you believe this? What the hell is the matter with him?"

"You can't understand," Kelly said softly. "Not until you've been there...not until you've lost a child. It's a kind of loss that can break you down and leave you with nothing." Joey's hand found hers and she took it, grateful for the support.

"Look, Kelly...I'm sorry. I know you've lost a baby and I can only imagine what that would be like...I just...You didn't shut out the world did you?"

Kevin shifted in place as he glanced over her way.

"Well, no...but I did something just as destructive."

Her hand hit his cheek hard as she took a step back. "What the hell are you doing?"

Brody reached up, touching his face. "You could have just said no," he smiled.

"You're with my sister, you know. You can't have us both...that's not how this works." She stared at Brody, who stood in front of her still smiling. "Why are you smiling? Ugh...you're disgusting."

Kelly looked at Rachel, the pain from the past still evident in her green eyes. And as they welled up with just a hint of tears, she took Rachel by the hand and led her outside. They sat on the porch swing that once seemed filled with memories of laughter and love.

"When I lost Kevin's baby, it was the darkest time in my life. People used to tell me that it would get better but it never got better. I couldn't even face the truth when they told me…so I did something totally wrong…something that to this day I still can't believe that I did…"

"What did you do," Rachel Asked?

"I stole another woman's baby… or rather my brother did… but I let her believe that her baby died. I was so consumed with grief that I couldn't see straight…and the only thing that made it better at all was having another baby…except it wasn't my baby…and when the truth was eventually discovered, it made everything that much worse…we could never even be considered for adoption because who was going to give a baby to a woman who stole someone else's... believe me Rachel, when you suffer a loss as great as losing a child, you could say that you go out of your body… you do things that don't make sense…and I don't want you to take this personal because your mother loves you…she just can't cope…Neither can Bo…they are drowning in a sea of grief and there isn't anything that anybody can do…."

"So I'm just supposed to stand by and watch them self destruct…watch them destroy their marriage…"

"You may not have a choice…sometimes trying to fix what can not be fixed just makes things worse. "

"The last time I tried to give her space, she nearly killed herself. I can't stand by and watch her do that again. I can't lose my mother. I just can't."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Maybe they need another baby to raise…"

"Rachel you can't seriously be…"

"I'm pregnant Kelly and as much as I love this child, if letting my mother raise him or her would save her life then maybe it would be worth it. Lord knows they could probably give my child a better life then I ever could…"

"How can you say that?"

"Because of the circumstances…I love my child but I don't love their father…not after what he did…"

"What did he do?"

Kevin and Joey were looking at pictures of the family when they used to be happy. So much bad had happened. So many things that could have broken any of them…but they had survived…survived everything only to lose their child. How much more could they take?

"How do you ever get over something like this Kev? How is it even possible?"

"It's not…not really…you just get better at learning how to forget…even if it's only for a few minutes…the ache never goes away…it just gets less intense."

"So what are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to get married when so much of our friends and family are miserable? Maybe we should postpone?"

"Are you serious? You came all this way for a wedding and now you are thinking of postponing?"

"Right now I think it is more important to find a way to help this family heal. I think Kelly would understand. I think she would insist actually."

"What exactly do you think we can do?"

"There's got to be something. We can't just sit on our hands and do nothing. You hear that? They are screaming at each other? Since when do they scream at each other? "

"Since they lost their child…"

"Well I don't know about you…But I am putting a stop to this right now…"

"What exactly are you planning on doing Joe?"

"Well I would have preferred a wine cellar but this will do…"

"I'm sorry Jessica…It's just that you're so cute when you're angry."

"Are you flirting with me now?"

"Not exactly."

"Then what exactly ARE you saying?"

"I'm saying that we have a history and I kind of got caught up in the moment so I' sorry…"

"Does my sister know about how you get caught up in the moment?"

"I said I was sorry."

"You SHOULD be…but because we have much more important things to discuss, I will let this go…for NOW… but if you ever do it again, I will kick your ass."

"I don't doubt it. But what did you want to talk about?"
