Hanna felt numb. She felt as if she had lost al reasons to live. Her baby, her little girl, the person who would often keep her awake at night by kicking her in the ribs was gone. For 8 months Hanna had anxiously waited for her and Caleb's little miracle to happen. For their child to be born and now she was Caleb had explained the accident had induced her an early labor. Unfortunately the doctors told them that their child had been stillborn.

Caleb had felt it was best for both him and Hanna not to see their child dead. As such they buried a closed casket. Gabriel Hollbrock had used all his influence into tracking down the drunk driver who had run away from the accident scene. Hanna and Caleb had however refused to press charges against him. They both felt it would have no point as their child would never be returned to them.

Six months down the road Hanna had become a shelf of her former self. She would spend her time wondering around the house her and Caleb had been preparing for the arrival of their baby. She would spend her time in the nursery touching tiny objects that were supposed to have been used by their little girl but that were now lying there with out any real purpose except being a constant reminder of her own pain.

Hanna felt she was a failure. She had failed delivering a healthy child into the world. Just as she had failed so many times before at being someone. She was still the dumb one of the group, never beautiful enough.

She blamed herself for not being awake as the accident happened. She woke up in the middle of the night constantly crying over her child. She had taken up sleeping in the spare room so that she wouldn't keep Caleb awake at night because of her dreams.

Dreams in which she heard a child crying, dreams in which she heard someone say "she's a perfectly healthy littler girl, despite the circumstances"... Hanna felt as if she was slowly but surely loosing her mind. She had distanced herself from everyone : Caleb, her mom, her friends. It slowly go to the point where she began doubting Caleb could still love her, seeing the wreck she was now.

As she looked outside the window her mind filled with too much pain she grabbed a bottle of sleeping pills deciding that she would finish it all. She would go to sleep and hopefully never awake to such pain again.

As she took more than half a bottle of sleeping pills Hanna laid her head on her and Caleb's bed silently hugging Caleb's favorite Tshirt to herself. She needed his scent to fall asleep. As she closed her eyes she became unaware that an agitated caleb came home early from work because he had felt an unexpected pull to be there for Hanna. As he walked in their bedroom he noticed the bottle with the sleeping pills on the night stand. He cursed as he called an ambulance.

As he made his way to the hospital Caleb called Spencer and asked her for Dr. Sullivan's phone number. He had used his work as an excuse to escape from his pain and as such he had let Hanna down when she had needed him the most. But he would have none of that anymore. He would crack her walls open and get the real Hanna back to life, back to him, just as soon as her condition would stabilize.

Julia sighed as she explained the reasons for her visit. She patted ami's head while she shifted uncomfortably in her seat, as she looked at Hanna and Caleb. She noticed that Hanna had taken Caleb's hand into her own and was holding it tightly.

-"Five years ago you were involved in a car accident, and the doctor that attended to your case told you that your child was stillborn. Am I correct?". As Hanna gave a small nod of her head Julia sighed.

-"That doctor was my husband, Oz. You see I had been taken to the hospital the same day but due to a rupture in my placenta I gave birth prematurely to a little girl. She died a few hours later. I wasn't told anything about of this because not but a few minutes afterwards you gave birth to a healthy little girl, despite the terrible accident in which you had been involved. So my husband changed the babies and the medical files. I've just found out about it a couple of weeks ago, when he died and I sorted out his papers. That's why I'm here. Because you deserved to know the truth. And i needed to know where my child is buried so that I could finally mourn her".

As a shocked silence followed Julia's story. Melissa shifted in her seat. She coughed before she finally spoke.

-"You do realize that they would need more than your words to accept this story. And that if it's true you have no rights to be a part of ami's life unless they agree to it. I recommend we take a DNA shot to test the girl's family's nature. And if those DNA tests are positive we'll need to talk to a judge to help sort out this entire mess. In the mean time I'll have my husband use his connections to check up your story".

Julia's face seemed flooded with relief as she listened to Melissa's words. Her face quickly became a mask as she noticed that both Caleb and Hanna were carefully studying her.. As Melissa went to the study and made some phone calls to arrang for the DNA tests Caleb turned his head to Julia.

-"And now since it's just us perhaps you could tell us who are you running from. Who gave you those bruises?" Julia watched him amazed as he studied her.

-"How do you know this?"

-"Abusive foster parent. The signs are all there. So who is after you? And was Ami ever hurt before?" before Julia could answer loud banging could be heard at the front door, making Julia jump in her seat as Ami whimpered and hid in her arms. Hanna silently put her arm on the child's head in a small but comfortable gesture. As Caleb made his way to open it he came face to face with...
