It's Not Over : Chapter Fourteen

XOXOXO

Rex accompanied Jen to the doctor's office for her exam. He held her hand at her encouragement as they hooked her up to the ultrasound and monitored her progress. She wasn't sure she wanted to have a baby this way and the thought of it had made her extremely agitated.

"It's okay Jen. I'm right here. You don't have to go through any of this alone," he said. They were both thinking of the kiss they had shared only moments before…a kiss that had been beautiful until Jen remembered her rape and was unable to proceed any further. "I'm so scared. What if I can't love this child…is it really fair for me to bring a child into the world this way…a child of rape?"

When she started to cry, Rex squeezed her hand for reassurance. The doctor looked at them sympathetically and continued. "You both seem to be in perfect health. You don't have to make any decisions yet. Why don't I give you some pamphlets and you can think things over?"

"Thank you," Jen said, as he walked out the door. "I have another suggestion," Rex said, as he looked deeply in her eyes, trying to give her strength. "You can have this baby and we can raise it as our own. Your child never needs to know how they were conceived. Think about it Jen. If your worried about your child's reaction then this is a way for you to take that off your plate."

"You would really do that for us?"

"Of course I would. You didn't ask to be raped. I love you. Your child is my child. If it's what you want then we can do this the right way."

"Are you asking me to marry you," she asked?

Xoxoxo

"Talia, is that you," Antonio asked? "Baby, are you…are you coming back to me?"

She looked around the room and didn't say a word. For a moment he wasn't sure whether she could speak or not.

"Where are we," she finally asked?

"We're in the hospital…Llanview hospital. Don't you recognize me sweetheart?"

Xoxoxo

Jessica and Christian sat nervously in the doctors office with their fingers laced together. This could be their baby's last chance at survival.

"What if we get bad news Chris?"

He kissed her forehead as he looked at her. "We won't. I promise you sweetheart. We're not going to lose our baby."

"But how can you promise that? How can you know?"

"I know you…and I know us…how can we lose sweetheart…our love is unbeatable."

He kissed her just as she managed a small smile and the doctor came in.

"I have the results of your pregnancy test," he said.

Xoxoxo

"Our baby is okay sweetheart. The doctor said he or she was holding their own. Don't worry."

"Are you sure…you wouldn't… wouldn't lie to me would you?"

"Never… I promise you Rachel…our baby is okay…its you I am worried about right now…"

"I'll be okay Kevin…have they found my mom yet…please tell me she's okay…they didn't hurt her did they?"

'I'm sorry Rachel…she's…she's in the hospital as we speak…"

"No…no, they raped her didn't they? They hurt her just like…"

"Just like Lindsay hurt you…it's okay Rachel…you can tell me…Lindsay raped you didn't she…and she forced her guard to do it too…they gave you drugs and hurt you…didn't they?"

Tears filled Rachel's eyes as she nodded her head. Kevin took Rachel in his arms and rocked her as she cried. They would deal with the rest later. For now, he would try to be her rock. She needed him much more then she would say.

Sam took Matthew back to the dark warehouse he was currently staying in. He handcuffed him to the wall and removed the blindfold.

"What kind of monster are you," he asked, as he looked around the place?

"Is that any way to talk to your father," he said?

"You aren't my father. You were never my father. You're just some guy who lied to my mom. I thought you loved me…how can you treat someone you love like this? "

"I have no choice Matthew. I can't have you running off and warning her. I have big plans for us."

"You can't do this…you can't hurt her…she's already been hurt so badly…leave her alone…if you ever loved her, leave my mom alone."

"I would never hurt her Matthew. I want to save her. "

"From my dad…she's never going to love you…don't you get that…you can kidnap her…you can rape her…you can do whatever the hell you think you have to do… but she'll never love you…my mom will only love one man and that's my father…my real father…the one you deprived me of for years…"

"Your moms been telling you stories huh? Did she tell you the one of how you came to be…she's a whore Matthew…if you think she'll ever be satisfied with one man then you're crazy…her greatest talent is spreading her legs…"

"Shut up…shut your mouth…you don't know what your talking about…you don't know anything about her…if you loved her at all, you would stop insulting the greatest woman I ever knew…"

"She's going to pay for always choosing someone else…we could have been so happy but she decided to throw it all away…she's never going to have a moment's peace…I will make sure of it…and you, Matthew are going to help…you will help me destroy your mother."

"I will never help you hurt her…never."

"You don't have a choice Matthew."

Nora turned away from him and started sobbing into the pillow. He gently climbed into the bed with her and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't push me away sweetheart…we can do this…we can fight everything together."

"You don't understand how bad this hurts…I have never been in so much pain…I feel ashamed and degraded and empty…and to top it all off, I have cancer…I'm tired of fighting Bo…I have been fighting for so long that I'm worn out…"

"Then let me fight for you…just don't…don't turn away from me…"

"I don't know how to be what you need Bo…"

"You don't have to be anything but yourself…lean on me baby…please…please just lean on me."

"I'm so scared," she sobbed, when she turned around in his arms. He wiped the tears from her face and looked into her eyes. "I'm scared too Red. Isn't it better to be scared together then alone?"

"What are we supposed to do Bo…a lot of my options are not available if I'm pregnant…I wanted to have your baby so bad…I don't think I can give up that dream…even if I have to carry the devil's spawn with it."

"Nobody is asking you to…you don't have to make any decisions tonight sweetheart. You've been through hell. How about we just talk to the doctor in the morning…at least see what our options are? You have a lot to think about."

"We do," she reminded him, as she took his hand. "I can't do this without you Bo. Every single part of me hurts…but you somehow make me feel a little less empty. "

"I love you Red…I would give anything to make your pain away."

"I know…but you can't…nobody can do that…what you can do is hold me and be there for me when I go through this…I need you to be there…I need you to…"

He pulled her tightly into his arms and held her…the tears fell from both of their faces as they held on for dear life..."I'm not going anywhere baby… not again… not ever again…"

"You promise," she cried into his shoulder?

"I promise."

He rocked her in his arms until she stopped shaking and then he simply lay with her and held her. Their life was a disaster but their love was strong. He had to believe they would survive this just like everything else. There simply was no other option.
