"What do you think he's doing with them?" Mays asked Leo and Nikki as they stood in the layout room "With the faces and cocks, he's probably framed the bloody things and does some freaky rituals in front of them"

Nikki and Leo exchanged an amused look and shook their heads, Leo then turned to Mays and started to give him different explanations about what had become of the body parts. He turned away from the detective however when he heard Nikki take in a sharp breath and saw her close her eyes tightly.

"Nikki?" he asked as he looked at her concerned for her as she doubled over and took a deep breath. Walking swiftly over to her he placed a hand on her back and turned to Mays.

"Call an ambulance"

"Shit it hurts" Nikki ground out as she groaned again and sobbed "Leo the baby"

"I'm here and the baby will be fine" the older man soothed as he bent down and saw tears dripping down Nikki's face and for good reason.

"Where's Harry?" Nikki whispered and Leo became more worried at the defeated tone of voice Nikki was using "I want…"

"He's at a scene" Leo replied quietly and his heart sunk as Nikki didn't reply but collapsed forward. Leo jumped up and caught her before she caused any more damage to herself "Nikki" he said loudly but got no response as Mays ran back into the room.

"Ambulance is…" he stopped when he saw the unconscious Nikki and looked at Leo "What's…"

Leo just shook his head and shakily reached into his pocket for his mobile.

"Leo where is she?" Harry demanded as he rushed into the waiting room of the hospital to see Leo staring out of the window "What happened?"

"She had stomach pains" Leo explained and the blood drained from Harry's face "Then she collapsed"

"Oh God…" Harry muttered to himself and brought one hand to his face and closed his eyes taking a deep breath "I need to see her"

"The doctor said he will come and get us when they have finished with Nikki"

"Finished with her?" Harry repeated almosty hysterically "What are they doing?"

"Harry you know what probably happened" Leo said quietly and Harry shook his head

"No" he choked out and turned away from Leo "No our baby is fine" he took in a shuddering breath and ran one hand over his face and through his hair trying to calm himself down.

"Professor Dalton?" came a voice from the doorway and a doctor Leo recognised from when he came in with Nikki walked into the room "and…?" he asked when he saw Harry

"Harry Cunningham" Leo said when it became clear Harry wasn't going to answer "Nikki's.."

"How's my wife? Can I see her?" Harry demanded and the doctor held up his hand to silence him

"Mr Cunningham did you know your wife was pregnant?"

"Was?" Harry whispered tearfully and the doctor nodded

"I'm sorry sir your wife miscarried the baby"

Harry just let out a sobbing noise and against his normal behaviour, started to cry.

"No" he shook his head "Please"

"I'm sorry" the doctor repeated "You can see your wife now she's in room fifty two down the hallway, she's asleep at the moment and hasn't been told of the situation"

Harry didn't say anything as he sat down heavily on one of the chairs and left it to Leo to say thank you to the doctor as the young man cried.

"Why Leo?" Harry sobbed as he felt the older man sit next to him and place a hand on his shoulder "Why our baby?"

Leo didn't have an answer to that so just stayed quiet and shook his head trying to keep his own emotions in check.

"How do I tell her?" Harry cried "How do I tell her that we don't have a baby anymore?"

He let out another loud sob and buried his face in his hands.

"Will you come in with me Leo?" came the muffled question

"I think you better do this on your own" Leo suggested "Just you and Nikki and someone needs to be at the lab"

"Okay" Harry nodded as he looked up at Leo, his crying under control.

"Have some days off Harry" Leo said as he stood up and patted Harry on the back "You need them"

"What about the serial?"

"I'll be fine" Leo told him and Harry stood up and nodded taking a deep breath "I'm sorry Harry" he said quietly and Harry only nodded and walked out of the room and down the corridor to room fifty two. He paused at the door then took a deep breath and walked in. His eyes fell on his sleeping wife in the bed in front of him, a drip in one hand looking extremely pale on the white hospital sheets. Just as the doctor said she was asleep and Harry walked quietly over to the chair next to the bed and sat down, wondering how to break the news to his wife.

Angst! :P How did I do? How evil am I?
