Hello, everyone! Here is the next chapter of my story "A New Beginning." I hope you enjoy it and reviews are always welcome and appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Sanctuary characters...just my character Seraphina

Helen crashed to the floor gripping protectively at her stomach as she let out an agonizing scream of pain. Her vision was blurry but she could hear several footsteps coming closer as she tried to grasp the edge of the bed. Gripping pain consumed her body with each scream that was let out of her throat. The pain so extreme she let go of the white bed sheets and collapsed to the floor. Seraphina crouched down beside her as hot tears fell from her eyes and scorched the floor as they fell. Seraphina heard several voices as she saw five individuals enter the room.

"Helen! Helen!" Nikola yelled in anguish as he saw his angel lying motionless on the cold ground. He did not know if she was still breathing, she was lying so still and her breathing so shallow. He looked up to see the face of the girl that had haunted Helen's dreams for the past several months. Memories of holding her in the dark of night while she sobbed uncontrollably. He wanted this girl gone. And now she had really hurt his Helen.

"I want you to leave! You hear me, girl! Get out!" Nikola said with a tone of vexation hidden under sadness.

"I did not do anything...you have to believe me..please!" Seraphina cried as she stepped back from Helen's lifeless body .

"Get her out of here, now! Henry? Will? Kate? Big Guy? Why are you still standing there? Take her out of here and lock her up!" Nikola said as he carefully picked Helen up and laid her down on a hospital bed and smoothed her dark hair off her sweaty forehead.

Big Guy quickly wheeled over the ultrasound machine as Nikola applied the cold gel to her stomach and slowly moved the wand over her abdomen. On the screen he could see the twin babies moving around restlessly. Something was wrong! The babies' heart rates on the fetal monitor were dropping as each minute passed by. Something had to be done soon or Helen and the babies would die!

"What's happening?" Kate said as she tried to hold back tears and held Helen's left hand gently as she brought a cool washcloth to her forehead. Henry stood behind Kate and placed a hand firmly on her shoulder as he also tried to hide the inevitable tears that would soon fall.

"Helen has a third degree prolapsed uterus. The ligaments, muscle, and supporting tissue that hold and support the uterus weaken and the uterus collapses into the vaginal canal. She has lost a large amount of blood...we need to operate immediately and repair or we will lose Helen and the babies..." Nikola said as tears streamed down his face.

"I will assist...whatever needs to be done..." Big Guy said as they both washed up and put on scrubs before wheeling Helen into the operating room. The rest of the room was silent ,only faint sobs were heard as Will,Henry,and Kate tried to comfort each other. Seraphina remained a few feet away with her head in her hands as she silently sobbed. She did not hurt Helen. Nobody would believe her. She had tried to help her but would have injured her by her touch because of her high body temperature. She would have burnt her skin.

"Little girl, what is your name?" Will said as he stepped closer trying not to frighten the sobbing frail girl.

"It's Seraphina...I promise you...I did not hurt her...I was only trying to ask for her help." Seraphina said as she met Will's blue eyes with her fiery red ones.

"What happened before Helen collapsed...please...I need to know." Will asked as he stepped back as Seraphina glanced into his eyes and showed him everything that had happened in quick snapshots that if he had blinked he would have missed them. Will stumbled back as Kate and Henry caught his arms.

"I hope that helped you understand what happened more. It is easier for me to communicate this way instead of spoken communication." Seraphina said as she stepped closer to the group.

"You're a Phoenix!" Will said as he looked at her in shock and rubbed his sore head.

"Yes. I did not want to reveal my secret to those I did not know if I could trust. I had to be sure. I am being hunted and my life is in danger. That's why I came here." Seraphina said as she let a faint smile dance across her lips.

The hours passed so slowly as Will,Henry,Kate,and Seraphina waited to hear some news . The whole room had been quiet except for a few sobs that escaped. So quiet, the buzzing of instruments and machines could be heard. Then, the sound of the heavy metal operating door could be heard . Out of the door came Nikola holding an infant girl in his left arm and an infant boy in his right arm. They looked like cherubs fast asleep as their long,dark,eyelashes fluttered and their plump rosy lips twitched. They both had thick, dark, hair and when their eyes were not closed in sleep, they had the most vibrant color of grey-blue. Nikola smiled down at them as he rocked them gently in his arms as tears cascaded down his face.

"Congrats,Nikola. Can I hold her?" Kate smiled as she took the beautiful baby girl gently into her arms and rocked her as she sang to her softly.

"She looks just like Helen..." Nikola said as a wave of sadness took over him once again. Helen was still fighting for her life. He did not want to lose her. He had everything he wanted right in front of him. It would never be the same without her.

"Is Helen alright?" Henry asked as he held the handsome little boy in his arms as he rocked him back and forth.

"She is still fighting for her life...we repaired as best we could...I just don't know why she has not come out of it yet...we may still lose her..." Nikola said as he turned away so they would not see him sobbing. He ran a tear drenched hand through his hair as he tried to gain composure.

Seraphina walked forward slowly toward Nikola as she came to stand directly in front of him.

"I may be able to help her. I have large regenerative and healing properties in my blood. I may not be able to heal her directly...but you may be able to deride a serum from my blood." Seraphina said as she looked into his sad blue grey eyes.

"That might work...I am sorry for doubting you and holding you responsible for her current condition." Nikola said as he ran to the lab to find Seraphina's blood sample that Helen had taken.

"No offense taken. I want to help her as much as you do." Seraphina said as she tried to reassure him as best she could.

Now they had to wait and see if Seraphina's blood could heal and bring Helen back. They could only hope. Hope was all they had right now.
