Chapter 12
"EXCUSE me?" Arizona asked, shocked at the situation. "What do you MEAN there is a little boy in the back room?" She wasn't exactly being quiet, so Callie shushed her. "No, don't tell me to be quiet. I am mad and…" Arizona trailed off as she thought about this. When Will wakes up, he will be so confused. So scared. She wanted to put off the boy's anxieties for a little longer, and she sighed, remaining quiet.
"Thank you. Arizona, I…you know that I didn't plan this. I thought we had more time, too. Just…what can I do, Baby? I have no control over the situation." Callie begged Arizona to understand. Arizona took in a breath.
"What can you do? You can help Lexie get better. I will, too. I just…this is a terrible living arrangement. For Lex, for us, for the kids…It's just not NATURAL. We will all help Lexie get better. That is what WE can do." Arizona said. Callie smiled. Arizona was in.

"What do you MEAN you can't think of anything else to do? If you can't get anything else on her while she is still fragile, she will get better. Mark will get his kids back. Do you want that?" The person asked Ileah.
Ileah had no idea that by simply saying she didn't know what to do next, she would get verbally punished.
"You are worthless. I shouldn't have trusted you to do this. You are lower than the dust under my shoes. Failure. That's the word that comes to mind when I think of you." Ileah cringed away from the harsh words. She began to breathe heavily as she became more and more upset. "Shut up." They told Ileah. Ileah calmed herself as quickly as she could.
"I'm sorry. I just…I can't think straight." She mumbled.
"Well, you'd better. You know what you have to do to make more time. You need to get that extra time. Soon." Ileah frowned. She didn't want to do it. The person handed her a black ski mask, and a toy gun with an orange cap on the top. Ileah reached out to take the items, but before she could, the figure took back the toy, and removed the orange cap so that the gun looked real. "Get to it." They said before they left Ileah standing there alone.
Ileah definitely did NOT want to do this.

Lexie rolled over in her sleep, and awoke to find a warm body next to her. She smiled, and snuggled closer, taking in Mark's scent. Mark instinctively pulled her closer, and rested his head on the top of hers. Clearly, they were both awake, so Lexie spoke.
"Mark?" She asked softly, just making sure he was 'there'.
"Yeah, Lex. I'm here." He said softly. Lexie breathed in deeply before responding.
"I'm sorry. I…I never wanted to hurt you. I tried so hard to…to block everything out of my life. It worked. I just…I'm sorry. I'm sorry your kids are gone." She said. Mark suddenly pulled back, and looked into her eyes with a look of disgust on his face.
"Seriously, Lexie? Seriously? Remember out vows? 'I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow.' I remember them. We said that we are ALWAYS here for each other. Even when we get a little crazy, even when our kids get taken away. I'm always here, and we can get through this. Because we love each other. I love you." Mark said. Lexie pulled herself back into him.
"Yeah…you're definitely the one for me." She said with a smile on her face.

Ileah quietly walked down the hallway. She just had to wait. Wait for Mark to leave the floor. Eventually, he would have to leave. He was on call. No one else was on the floor. As soon as he left, she could get the job done. The toy gun weighed heavily in her hand. Even though it was just a toy, and not real, it still felt like one of the biggest weights she has ever carried. She was going to ruin someone's life, even further.
And Ileah could hardly live with herself for it.
A/N: Yeah, so I know it was short. And I know it was PROBABLY lame. I have so much work to do though. Please review and tell me what you think. Again, I apologize, and I hope you haven't given up on me.
Thanks:)
