Chapter Ten.

A/N - Thank you for the support on this fanfiction. I'm going to be posting this onto my wattpad account too.

Also, in Chapter Eight, I said Abbie was sixteen weeks pregnant. However, I'm changing it so she's 23 weeks pregnant. I realised that there would be no chance the baby would survive if born any earlier but now, baby has a chance at surviving.

Bonnie Sveen Fan; Cal is trying to stay strong for Abbie. But he has Tilly and Abbie's baby to look after. I don't think Abbie will die but she will be unwell. Thank you for reviewing.

Cbloom2; I'm glad you like the story considering it's quite dark. I'm feeling slightly better and writing does seem to help slightly. Thank you for reviewing.

Glittergirl12; I love that idea with Jason coming back for Cal! Thank you. I'm glad you're liking the fanfiction. I'm not really an amazing author, I can name a much better one. But thank you. I had to include the Huntingtons storyline into this. Thank you for reviewing.

Tato Potato; Thank you for reviewing. The fate of Abbie and baby will be revealed in this chapter.

Sweeet-as-honey; Tilly and Abbie's bond is a must have in this fanfic. Tilly won't probably know Taylor so she needs a sort of mummy figure. I agree that Ethan might not want to support Cal when he finds out about Emilie. The only one Cal should blame is Jason. He's an evil ass. Thank you for reviewing. Also, I'll follow you back on Wattpad soon! The phone I'm using at the moment isn't that great for that site.

.2016; Thank you for reviewing.

Thank you to the people who have added this to their favourites & follows.

Cal was torn between being with Abbie and the baby. He knew they both needed him but he didn't know which one to be with.

Cal was willing to raise Abbie's baby as his own. Abbie wasn't going to let Jason anywhere near the baby girl. She was fiercely protective and she didn't even know her little girl had been born.

Matilda was crawling around. Ethan couldn't catch her to change her nappy. "Matilda. Come here," Ethan said.

"Muma!"

Ethan smiled. He knew Matilda was extremely fond of her 'mummy'. "Matilda, if you let me change your nappy then we can see mummy," Ethan said in an attempt to reason with the eleven month old.

Matilda giggled at him and held her arms up. Ethan smiled. "Round one, Nibbles."

Cal went to see the baby. He knew what Abbie wanted to name her baby. Cal was going to name the baby the name Abbie wanted. He was hoping that Abbie pulled through. He hadn't even told her that he loved her.

When he arrived at the Neo Natal, he saw the baby girl. As she was only a few days old but was fighting for her life, she had to have round the clock care. "I'm here to name the baby."

"Cal, you can't do that. Only the mother or father can make a decision," the nurse said.

Cal sighed. "I know what Abbie wanted to name the baby. And since she's in a medically induced coma, I think I should do it," he said with annoyance. He was trying to help Abbie.

"Fine. What does Abbie want to name her baby?"

"Poppy McKenzie Wilcox," Cal said. He knew Jason would hate that the baby had Abbie's name but it was her wishes.

Ethan was sitting with Abbie. She hadn't woken yet. Cal walked in. "Poppy Mckenzie is the baby's name," Cal said. He sat on the other side of Abbie's bed.

Ethan smiled. "Is that what Abbie wanted?" He asked.

"Of course! I didn't just decide to name Abbie's baby for her. She told me it was what she wanted when she had her sixteen week scan," Cal said.

"Alright, Cal. Calm down. I was simply asking," Ethan replied. He knew Cal was extremely tired and worried about Abbie. "Why don't you go home and see Matilda. Spend some time with her?"

Cal sighed. "Ethan, Tilly is nearly one. She won't have a clue what's going on. She'll be wanting Abbie anyway."

Both Cal and Ethan both knew that Matilda was Abbie's girl. But she was only eleven months and Cal didn't know how to tell someone so young their mummy was unwell. "Ethan, I've got so much going on right now. My girlfriend is practically at death's door right now. Her baby is so small, my whole arm could cover her. Matilda will be confused about everything," Cal said.

Cal had been forced by Ethan and Rita to get some lunch and to spend some time with Matilda.

He grabbed a sandwich and went to the crèche. He saw his little girl sitting on her own. "Toad."

Matilda looked up and the biggest smile appeared on her face. She crawled over to Cal and giggled. "Dada."

Cal picked her up and held her close. He loved her so much. "M-Muma?" Matilda asked as she grabbed onto Cal's ears.

"Mummy's sleeping," Cal said. He wasn't lying to the little girl. Abbie was asleep. "You have a little sister."

After Cal had spent a few hours with Matilda, he walked back into Abbie's room. She was sitting up. Cal felt his heart lifting. "You're awake!"

Abbie nodded slightly. She had been crying. "Abbie, what's wrong?" Cal asked.

"T-They've had to put the baby on life support. She's too weak to breathe on her own," Abbie sobbed.

Cal felt his remaining hope shatter. He and Abbie both knew a baby so small like Poppy on life support had low survival chances. "She'll be alright, Abbie."

Abbie shook her head. "Don't say that, Cal. She won't be okay. This is my fault. I should have told Jason the baby was his then maybe she would be inside of me. Safe," Abbie cried.

Cal sighed and took Abbie's hand. "This isn't your fault at all, Abbie. It's Jason's. He's the one who beat you half to death. He's the one who abused you for the last year."

Abbie wiped away her tears. "If my baby doesn't make it, I'll never forgive myself, Cal. She has to make it," Abbie sobbed.

Cal realised that he would do anything to make Abbie believe her baby would survive. He didn't want her doubting her parenting skills. They would do everything together.
