Chapter Seven

Cassie was in so much pain she thought she would die from it. Not to mention she was tired of pushing. She didn't know if she it in her to push anymore. Elizabeth held her hand as Emily got in the position to get the baby when it was born. Emily was on the phone now with Patrick who was talking her through delivering her first baby. Another pain hit Cassie hard.

"Okay this is it you need to push as hard as you can." Emily said

"I can't push anymore." Cassie answered in so much pain she couldn't help, but to push

"I can see the head!" Emily said in an excited voice. Oh my god this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. She thought in awe as she looked up at Cassie" You can stop now." the bay girl cried as she was pulled from her mother's body.

"Oh my god is that her?!" Cassie was amazed that she gave birth to something that could cry so loud.

"Yes, this is your little girl." Emily said as she cleaned her off and wrapped in a towel. She handed her to Elizabeth who gave her to Cassie.

"Here is your brand new baby girl." Elizabeth said as she smiled brightly. She wondered if she was having a girl. It would be great since she already had a little boy.

"Oh wow she's gorgeous." Cassie said as she held the baby close to her. She felt so weak like she was going to pass right out.

"Now that you're done with all the screaming and crying tell me the cod to the brief case." Craig's crude voice broke the happy moment.

"You have to let me daughter go first." Cassie said. She felt like her forehead was on fire and her world was spinning.

"Not, only that, but I'm letting a hostage go so that they can carry your brat out of here."Craige said as he snatched up a blonde haired woman.

Cassie handed her baby to Emily who handed the child to the woman

"What is her name?" the woman asked softly

"Hope." Cassie said as she struggled to stay awake" Tell her father that I never meant to keep her from him. I just didn't want to compromise his life." with that said Craig dragged the woman to the lobby door where he let her go.

" Now your baby is safely away from here you're going to tell me what I want to know or I'll kill you before you ever have the chance to see your little girl grow..." he turned to see that Cassie had passed out. Blood was streaming down both her legs and Emily was frantically trying to keep it from coming out." What's wrong with her now?"

"She's hemorrhaging." Emily said as the blood flowing out of Cassie soaked through the towels

"If she doesn't get to a doctor now she will die and there goes any hope you had of getting into the brief case." Carly said knowing that the longer Cassie stayed in here the more likely she'd die. She was reminded of when she Micheal.

"She just gave birth it can't be that bad." Craig said as he walked over to where Emily and now Elizabeth tried to keep the blood from coming out. It was enough to soak through the towel and now cover the front of their dresses.

"That's the point of giving birth in a hospital!" Emily yelled as she feared for Cassie's life.

"You have to let her go now." Elizabeth said trying to get it through his head

"She told me the code let her go and I'll give it to you." Sonny said taking control of the situation

After a few moment Cassie stopped bleeding. Her eyes fluttered opened.

"Well, isn't this nice she's awake." Craig said as he looked over in Jason's direction" Take her some place where we can talk privately."

Jason lifted Cassie up of the floor and carried toward the rooms.

"You can't seriously be thinking she's going to tell you anything." Sam said bitterly. She just witnessed the birth of an innocent baby girl that brought back memories of when she was pregnant and now her mother was fighting for her life with this man holding her way to live out of reach.

"Oh she will." Craig said

"She'll die first and you know it." Sam told him

"If she dies then Mr. Corinthoes will have to give me the code." he said

"If she dies then you'll be faced with murder charges and they won't go easy on a man that let a new mother bleed to death." Nicholas tried to reason with him

"No, I won't because I'll have what I want and be gone." Craig said

"They will hunt you down like the low down snake you are and the people that find you will make sure you never see the light of day." Same said to him

"Sam, Sweet Sam how naive you are." Craig said as he walked over to her and looked into her eyes" Do you think anyone will find me if I don't want them to?"

"Well, look what happened that you didn't plan when you came here." Sam stated

"A minor set back that's all." Craig said to her

Sam didn't say anything more. She sat back down as Craig went over to one of his people and whispered something to them. Everyone was hoping that they'd make it out of this alive. All of them made silent promises and deals with god if he only let them make it out alive.
