A family is like a fork in the road. One path leads to a happy place, where one can feel safe and loved and happy. And the other path leads to a dark place, where one feels lonely and scared and unloved.

Amanda was asleep now, and the boys stayed close around the bed.

"What did you see happen Changmin?" Junsu asked.

"I came to an ally three blocks down from the house. I saw her being attacked, so I ran down the ally and beat him up until he blacked out. When I got to her she didn't have a bra on and her pants were undone. The reason it took us so long to get back was because I just sat there holding her as she cried." Changmin answered.

Everyone sighed.

"Why do you think she went out by herself?" Junsu asked.

"I don't know. But what if she went for a walk to clear her head? What if she started thinking about her mother again?" Yoochun replied.

Yunho sat in the corner, fighting the urge to cry.

"Why couldn't we have just talked to Namakoto over the phone... If we stayed here then this wouldn't have happened!"

"Yunho, calm down..."

"No, Jaejoong! I won't calm down! We have to do something! We have to call the police!"

Changmin grew annoyed with his leader.

"Shut UP." he sneered.

Everyone looked at Changmin in shock.

"We call the police. And what will they do? They'll question her; ask her for details. What do you think that will do to her?" Changmin said.

"But Changmin we have to do something about him." Yoochun replied.

"And we will. I want you guys to go to that ally and wait for him to wake up. When he does, you tell him that if he doesn't go back to America and turn himself in that we will put him into the hospital for the rest of his life." Changmin said.

"Changmin, I don't think that's a good idea." Junsu said, becoming a bit scared.

"BE LUCKY I DON'T GO KILL HIM RIGHT NOW!!!!" Changmin shouted.

Things got quiet. They weren't used to Changmin being like this.

"I'll go." Jaejoong said.

"I'll go with you. Junsu, come with us." Yoochun said.

Junsu nodded, and the three were on their way. Yunho was still scared.

"Changmin... I'm starting to think that I'm not capable of taking care of Amanda..." he said.

"Hyung... You will be the best father in the world. She loves you Yunho. You just need to relax. What happened tonight wasn't your fault." Changmin replied.

"I feel like it was..."

"Yeah, I can tell. I think you should get some sleep hyung. You'll feel better in the morning."

"N-No! W-W-What if she wakes up; what if something happens to her!?"

Changmin had a puzzled/concerned look on his face as he stared at Yunho.

"Hyung, are you feeling alright? You don't look so good." Changmin asked.

"I feel sick..." Yunho responded. He was shaking and sweating.

Changmin panicked. He knew what that meant.

"Relax hyung," he said, kneeling by Yunho's side, "it's gonna be alright. Take some deep breaths. Here, I'll open the window."

Changmin got up and opened the window as much as he could. He even opened the screen. He pulled one of the chairs in the room over by the window.

"It's gonna be okay hyung, you gotta relax." Changmin said as he sat Yunho down in the chair.

Yunho took shakey deep breaths. His right hand was on his stomach and his head was in his left hand.

"I'm gonna throw up..." he whimpered.

"Alright, alright Yunho." Changmin looked around for the trashcan. When he found it he brought it over to Yunho. "Relax Yunho. It's okay, it's gonna be over soon."

Changmin gently rubbed circles on Yunho's back as he held the trashcan. Yunho's breathing sped up, and his body tensed up.

"Try to relax Yunho. It'll be worse if you don't relax." Changmin whispered.

Yunho's face scrunched up in pain, then he vomited. Changmin rubbed his back more gently now.

"It's alright Yunho. It's over now. Do you understand that you got sick because of how stressed you let yourself be?" he said.

Yunho nodded. "Yeah... I'm sorry Changmin."

Changmin grinned. "Quit being stupid. It's alright. Now go lay down until you feel better."

Yunho grinned as well. "Alright." He carefully got up and closed the window.

Changmin looked at him.

"Don't want Amanda to get cold." Yunho said.

Changmin nodded. When Yunho left the room, Changmin took out his cellphone and called Yoochun.

"Hello?"

"Yoochun-ah, it's me."

"Did something happen?"

"Yeah. Yunho got so stressed that he threw up."

"Is he alright now?"

"Yeah, he's laying down on the couch now."

"How's Amanda doing?"

"She's still asleep."

"Alright, we're almost to the ally. We'll try being quick here."

"Okay."

Changmin hung up, and turned his attention back to Amanda. She slept soundly, and he smiled. He climbed into the bed and cuddled Amanda close.

"I'm still here Amanda."
