NINA'S POV:

All we could do is stare at Joy, why couldn't she of told us before Mara's kidnapping. The thought of what happened to her is too much to bear, especially for Mick.

'So, Joy' I started bitterly 'why couldn't you of told us this, before all this happened.' I spitted bitterly. I guess my pregnancy mood swings had started because I don't even know if Joy knew before all this.

'Maybe Nina, because I didn't know then, I just recently discovered Rufus's plan.' Joy said her face remaining calm but her voice low and dark.

'I'm sorry, I guess mood swings.' I apologized to everyone who was staring at me rather scared in the room.

'So, as I was saying before the interruption,' Joy started while eyeing me up and down 'I discovered he is draining the life source of the people he kills or kidnaps, leaving us as trapped souls. He uses each life source in the elixir and once the blood of the chosen one is added. The strongest elixir ever made is formed.'

Fabian's arm around me suddenly tensed, Joy just announced that what we hoped wouldn't happen, will possibly soon come true. My death.

'Yes Nina, once you die, and your blood is added to the elixir, Rufus will have eternal life and we remaining souls will be trapped for eternity. All eyes were on me, as I looked down at my swollen stomach where the baby lay.

I looked back up meeting everyone's eyes before a jolt of pain hit me like a tonne of bricks and I fell to the floor, darkness surrounding me.

FABIAN'S POV:

'Nina!' I screamed, as she lay on the floor unconscious. I crouched down around her and tilted my head to check her breathing which tickled my ear as I drew closer.

'She's breathing.' I announced to the group of concerned friends and then ordered one of them to call an ambulance.

I turned around and realised Joy was no longer in the room but ignored it as all my concern was on my beautiful girlfriend, asleep in my arms.

Nina looked pale, and sick- it shattered my heart to sit there with her helpless. It was one of the things I hated the most, to sit there and do nothing when someone needs you. But what could I do?

My eyes suddenly darted to her stomach where our baby lay inside.

'Isn't the ambulance coming?' I screamed and without a second notice I ran out the door carrying Nina, to drive her to the hospital.

'Come on Nina, wake up.' I repeated as we drove in silence in the car. Tears were splattering me face as I sat there behind the steering wheel, desperate to have her safe and awake.

After what seemed like ages, we arrived at the hospital where she was taken from me, to a bland room nearby.

I sat there in the waiting room completely impatient.

'What's going on?' Jerome asked, once they had arrived at the hospital and had sat down with me.

I shook my head and they all gave me and sympathetic look.

'I don't want your sympathy.' I told them, probably too harshly before walking away to confront some people for answers.

After asking too many people with no information, one finally gave me some.

'Yes, so your her husband, brother, boyfriend?' He asked me. He was much older then me and shorter but seemed reasonable to talk to.

'Fiancé!' I replied, he nodded before leading me to a room where Nina lay, sleeping on the bed.

'So what is wrong with her?' I asked while clutching Nina's hand.

'Well it appears Ms. Martin is pregnant,' which I nodded to, showing him I knew already. 'And she was over stressed which caused the baby to be affected. Overly stressed was definitely an understatement, I thought to myself.

'Is she okay, the baby I mean?' He nodded in response to my question.

'Yes, it is quite common; it was just a minor scare. All she needs it bed rest, sleep, and no more stressful situations. Ms. Martin is now past half way in her pregnancy' He commented.

'Doctor, that's going to be rather hard, seeming someone's out to kill her.' He just stared at me blankly for a few minutes before responding.

'Have you called the police?' He soon asked.

'Believe me enough times; he escaped from prison two months ago, around the time we found out about Nina's pregnancy.' He nodded and turned to look at Nina's still sickly looking face.

'Then I'd advice to stay here until this villain is captured, otherwise any more stressful situations could not only effect the baby but her in deadly ways.' I looked at Nina, and nodded. It seemed like a reasonable idea. No ghosts would interrupt her in a hospital with many people, and Rufus wouldn't dare enter somewhere overpopulated.

'I'll have to talk to Nina about it, but I agree, it seems like our best option so far.' I told him, and he left with a look of understanding.

'Come on honey; wake up, for me, for our baby, for you.' I whispered in her ear and to my amazement her eyes fluttered open to meet mine.

'Hey, how are you?' She asked me weakly.

'That's my line.' This made her laugh as best as she could manage. She smiled then looked at her surroundings.

'Where am I?' She asked.

'The hospital, you gave me and everyone one else quite a scare.'

'What happened?'

'You were over stressed- which frankly is an understatement and it affected the baby in which affected you.' She looked at her stomach in concern. 'The baby is fine, and apparently your past half way through you pregnancy.' She smiled at that before leaning up to peck me on the lips.

'Nina, I told the doctor about Rufus and everything, and he advices you remain in bed rest here at the hospital until it is all cleared up. Otherwise it could harm the baby in ways we definitely don't want to.' Nina nodded he head.

'What about you?'

'I'll be here beside you, the whole time.' I said and I knew she was going to mention if Rufus was to find us. 'Before, you mention Rufus finding us, no way will he try anything in an over populated area with security cameras everywhere' I said and she let out a breath in relief.

'Okay, I guess we should get comfy in out new home, for who knows how long.' She said and I chuckled lightly, glad to see her smile again.

'I'll go tell someone from the gang, to go get our stuff, and if it's okay with you, allow the rest to come see you.' Once Nina nodded I went to do just that.

'It won't end there Fabian.' I heard someone whisper, but couldn't see who it was, so I just walked away and pushed it to the back of my mind.
