John and Randy froze and looked back at the door for a moment. They would go back in and sort the mess out after the girls were safe and Dave was dead.

"Batista! Let's just end this. You don't want them. They haven't done anything to you." Randy said. A bullet rang out and both of them had to duck in order to keep from getting hit.

"Why don't you quit hiding like a bitch and come out and fight like a man? Kidnapping women and a child is beneath you." John yelled. Another gun shot rang out.

"You're never going to get out of this alive." Randy yelled.

"I'm prepared for that. But I can take satisfaction in the fact that I'll be taking you and Cena with me." Dave said as he walked out of the garage with Eve's arm still firmly in his grasp. John started to advance toward them but Randy held him back.

"Ah Super Cena. Always playing the hero." Dave said as he kept the gun trained on Eve. "Are you really willing to trade your life for hers? For the life of your unborn baby?"

"Just let her go Dave. You don't want her. You want us. Remember? According to you, I ruined Mickie's life. Randy stole what was yours and Ted let Mickie die. But you wanna know the truth? The truth is that Keleigh never belonged to you. She never really belonged to me. She has always been Randy's. Always. Mickie was the one who came on to me. She wanted me to make love to her. She wanted to give herself to me. I'm sorry she got hurt. I really am. Ted left after Mickie disappeared. He thought she'd left town with one of the many men she was stringing along. You have this perfect image painted in your mind that we wronged you. Hate to tell ya but your sister wasn't a saint. She wasn't the perfect little princess you have in your head. And Keleigh was never and will never be yours willingly. If you keep believing that, you're even more delusional than we thought."

Jerry brought up the GPS tracking system he had Randy put on up on the computer. It showed he was at a house in nearby Channelview. He got into his car and headed that way. He knew the right to do would be call Director Austin and SSA Cole but he didn't want them to arrest Batista. It was time that he paid for everything. For taking away the only woman Jerry had ever really loved and then for hurting his daughter. He thought back to when Katherine told him she was expecting. It was not something they were expecting.

Jerry sat in the hotel room trying to process what Katherine had just told him. She was pregnant and she was unsure if he or Trent was the father.

"Are you sure you're pregnant?" He asked her as they sat on the bed.

"I'm sure. I'm pregnant." She said again. "Jerry, I didn't plan this but I'm excited about this baby. Trent doesn't want a baby but I do. I want nothing more than to be a mom."

"I know you do." He sighed. "So, what are we going to do?"

"I love you, you know that but I have to make my marriage work. For this baby. Odds are that it is Trent's and you know it would be better if it was. I'm going to be with my husband and baby."

"So, you're not going to leave with me."

"No, I'm sorry." She kissed him and then left the room.

Jerry thought about that day a lot. If they had left as originally planned, she would be alive and Keleigh wouldn't have had to go through all she went through. He drove faster to Channelview. He failed to protect Katherine and he failed to protect Keleigh once before. He wouldn't do it again. Batista was a dead man and Jerry was going to make sure he really died this time. He pressed on the gas pedal of his car and tore off in the direction the GPS was indicating.

Ted pulled himself up off the lifeless body and wiped his face. He had to find the girls. He had to save Josie. He heard a faint cry from upstairs and rushed around the end of the couch heading up slowly. He had no idea if there were any more henchmen in the house. He walked toward the sound and opened the door slightly to see Aiden standing in his crib. He walked in and picked him up, holding him in a soothing way.

"It's okay buddy. We'll get you back to your mommy soon. I promise." Ted said as he kissed the baby on the forehead.

"YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT MY SISTER!" pierced the momentary quiet and Ted looked out the window to see the girls in the backyard. Dave had Eve by the arm and was holding a gun on her. Randy and John were standing across from him, almost afraid to move. Ted held Aiden closer to him and walked back down the stairs, torn between keeping the baby safe and helping John and Rand who were obviously in a tough spot.

But his mind went to his childhood and when his mom had protected them with her life and ended up losing it because she did. He knew that a mother would do anything to protect her child and he knew Keleigh had to be the same way. She would want her son protected above everything. He walked downstairs with Aiden in his arms and placed him in the pack n play nearby. Just as he did, he heard a sound. He turned to it and found Adam still alive. He walked over to him and knelt down. He had taken a bullet for him, the least Ted could do was be with him in what might be his last moments.

"I'm sorry." Adam choked out. "I was just doing my job when I took them. I never wanted to hurt anyone."

"Just hang in there. I am sure help is on the way soon. I wanted to thank you for saving my life." Ted replied to him as he sat by him.

"Josie is a good girl and she loves you. Remember that always and protect her." Adam winced and tears fell down the side of his face. Adam gazed up and swore he saw Stephanie looking at him. She was more beautiful than he remembered. He saw that she was standing there with her hand stretched out to him and he knew it was time.

"Tell Keleigh and Randy that I'm sorry. They were the best friends I ever had. I love them. I never meant to hurt them. God, it…it killed me to do it. But I had….had to do it. Had to….stop…" Adam said as his breathing started getting swallower and he coughed.

Ted took Adam's hand as he watched him take his final breath. He felt bad because Adam had taken a bullet for him. He let go of Adam's hand and headed over to the window. He stood there watching the scene. Dave had Eve and John and Randy seemed to be afraid to move. He then looked at his fiancée and Randy's wife, both stood behind Dave with worried looks on their faces. He so desperately wanted to run out there and help John and Randy out. But he knew that the best thing he could do was to take care of Aiden and keep him safe. He looked down at the sleeping baby boy and smiled at him. He wanted children with Josie. He just hoped that Randy and John could figure a way out of this for all of them and he could have that chance.

"C'mon you gutless bastard. Let's end this now. You take me and Randy and let the girls go." John said. "We're right here in front of you. You have your chance. Why not let the girls go and take it?"

"Because killing you in front of them is going to be so much sweeter." Dave said as he shoved Eve to the ground and pulled the gun up even with Randy's chest. The bullet left the gun in a blink of an eye. Keleigh and Josie rushed over to Eve to check on her and pull her out of harm's way. Keleigh looked up a split second later and saw that Randy and John were both on the ground. She closed her eyes, pushing back the thought that one or both of them were hurt or even worse, dead. Randy tackled Dave out of nowhere and the two of them exchanged blows. Keleigh silently made her way over to John who was on the ground.

"Oh My God." She said when she saw he was shot. She saw that the wound wasn't as serious as she thought. "John."

"K." He said to her. He knew he was shot. "It's okay. I'm going to be okay. My second piece."

She thought for a minute before she realized what he was talking about. She went to his right leg and got the other gun. She knew what she had to do. This was the only chance she had had to have a gun in her possession since Dave took them. She stood up and saw that Dave had Randy on the ground. She calmly pointed the gun at Dave and pulled the trigger. The sound of the bullet leaving the gun filled the backyard.

Eve and Josie, both who had moved where John was, looked at where Keleigh was standing when they heard the sound and saw her with the gun. They then looked to where Dave was. He was lying on the ground with gunshot to the stomach. Randy stood up and looked his wife holding the gun. It shouldn't have shocked him that Keleigh had remembered her training. But Randy had never seen her with a gun. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, feeling relief for the first time in days.

"God, I missed you." He whispered. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." She whispered back. No one had time to react when three more shots rang out and Randy's whole bodyweight leaned on Keleigh. She stumbled and Randy fell forward, a fresh bullet wound in his side. Keleigh looked at Randy and then looked up to see Dave walking toward her. She backed away from Randy, fear running through her. She looked over at John for a second as Dave stumbled closer to her.

"You stupid BITCH! You shot me? You actually fucking shot me?" Dave stumbled again and then fell forward. Josie stood over him with a rake she'd found in the shed. There was blood coming from Dave's head now and Keleigh was scared for Josie's safety. Josie raised the rake again and Dave brought the gun up. She froze.
