xoxo

Jake walked through the doors of the hospital quite happy with himself, he had stopped to talk to the press, and had even done a live interview with E! News, that would be played on their segment in 20 minutes. It really was 'breaking news'. When he turned a corner, and found Marissa sitting on a lonely chair, crying to herself There was a minuscule slight amount of guilt, but after a second it was gone. When Marissa noticed him, she shot up and ran straight over to him threw herself into his arms.

"Are you sure you should be running" Jake questioned her, she cried onto his shoulder and looked up at him confused.

"What do you mean?" Marissa asked choking back a few tears and drying her eyes.

"Bad for a baby and all?" Marissa shut her eyes and took a breath

"How did you--?"

"That's not the point" Jake finished in a harsh tone

"I really don't need this now Jake, my daughter is in there, because she drowned! You have no idea what I'm going through" Marissa said walking into the family room with him behind her.

"What your going through?" Jake questioned her, Marissa shook her head and sat down

"What do you want me to say Jake? Yes I'm pregnant, and if I'm honest I didn't really expect this to be your reaction! Did you phone Ryan and Summer, they need to be here"

"Marissa there is something that you don't know," Jake said moving closer to her, when he sat in the chair beside her, his tone of voice became darker, in a way that reminded her of Oliver, and she hated it, she was scared of it.

"I cant have kids, had that operation taken care of a while back" Marissa turned to face him, quickly thinking up a story in her head, Jake moved in closer.

"So my question is? Who the hell have you been sleeping with?"

Ryan sat on Sarah's bed, back at her parents house, considering he had taken Bullits plane, they were there within an hour, and he had met her family within 2. It was nice to finally meet her family and they all seemed really happy about meeting him. He had never really done the whole family meet and greet thing before, for a moment he felt like a normal guy his age, going home to meet the parents, but not many normal guys had a daughter and a Marissa back home. Both Ryan and Sarah were sitting on her bed watching her old television, Sarah insisting on watching her daily E! News, but this time she had a reason, there would be news of her new series she was doing.

"You know you love it, I mean who couldn't!" She said happily as the opening credits rolled.

Tonight's breaking entertainment news. Brangelina welcome yet another baby, Heidi Montag talks about season 15 of the hills, and we have a special interview with the one and only Chace Crawford. But first, in breaking news, only half an hour ago our reporters standing waiting outside of LA Children's hospital, caught a famous Model and her unconscious daughter getting out of an ambulance and being rushed straight into the Emergency Room.

As a picture of a tear stained Marissa holding Ottilie's hand as she exited the ambulance froze Ryan, he blinked but the picture was frozen on the screen, From what he could see Ottilie had a Oxygen Mask on.

From the picture you can see a very distraught Marissa and her daughter exiting the ambulance, witness' say that the child was not breathing at all, but Marissa's own fiancé gave us the exclusive scoop.

"Me and Marissa had taken Ottilie for the weekend, She was swimming in our pool and shouted out for the both of us to watch her do some jumps, unfortunately she stayed under longer than any of us expected. She is ok though and her mother and I are just awaiting confirmation from her doctors to take her home and her whole family can then sit down to a dvd of The Little Mermaid," Jake said falsely

"Do you do normal regular things when she's around"

"Of course, we all sit down for dinners as a family, me and Marissa get called Mommy and Daddy, it really is amazing, she also does the funniest things. But I want to be in there now, ready for when she turns around and says "Dad can I go now"" Jake nods to the paparazzi and walks into the hospital, happy with the lies that he has created

"oh my god" Sarah stated in shock, Ryan kept his eyes focused on the screen, Sarah turned to face him, but his expression was unreadable. Ryan sat there processing everything in his mind.

"Ryan," Sarah said to him, to try and sound him out.

"I" Ryan sat there in shock and confusion, staring into space.

"I should--" Ryan shot off the bed and began to frantically put his things into his bag.

"Of course, how are you going to get there?" Sarah asked him

"I don't know yet, could you drive me…to the airport at least"

"Sure," Ryan looked up at her and the threw his bag on the floor.

"Screw it, there's no time, come on" He began to walk fast and out of the room, with only the thought of his daughter on his mind.

"Shouldn't you call them" Sarah said trying to be helpful as they drove on the quiet roads. However Ryan just stood there staring.

"I….I…yeah," Ryan tried dialling Marissa's number and waited for an answer,

"Come on Marissa, please" He said into the phone, the single picture of his daughter on a stretcher had changed his whole life, he wouldn't have a life, if Ottilie wasn't in it.

"Hi, youve reached Marissa, sorry I couldnt get to the phone right now--"

So my question is, who the hell have you been sleeping with.

Marissa tried to search Jakes face, looking for an answer. Saying Ryan would probably result in Jake and Ryan fighting it out till one of them is beaten to a pulp.

"Come on Marissa, its not that hard to think through" Jake said with gritted teeth. Marissa however just sat there,

"I don't know what to say," Marissa started slowly.

"I never realised you couldn't" she wiped some tears and carried on, "I mean, you never said, I thought you wanted--". Before Marissa could carry on, the door was thrown open and she looked up in surprise. Seth was standing there, they hadn't really been together that much since they had been back, she certainly hadn't really stopped to talk to him, he had been there when she had needed Ryan the first time, when she was in labour, and now he seemed to pull through again. She ran up to him and he comforted her like she needed, she wept onto his shoulder and Seth just stood tried to catch his breath.

"I came…as soon as I had… Heard….it was on the radio…something about breaking news…" Seth said in between deep breaths. Marissa nodded and Jake sat in the corner, with a glare on his face. Seth wondered why he wasn't more bothered, he had heard the bullshit on the radio about Ottilie calling Jake 'Dad', he could at least act more concerned.

"Where is she?" Seth asked her, it was an odd feeling, he played a big part of Ottilie's life, always looking after her and being there for her brother, and knowing that there was a chance that she might not survive, it was too much.

"They wont let me be with her, they took her away when I got here" Marissa said wistfully.

"Look, man, we don't even know who you are, so why don't you just go back to where you came from, before I call hospital security." Jake said to him. Ryan rolled his eyes, he was exactly like Luke was before Ryan moved to Newport.

"Look, man, my niece, so just back off ok, I know where all upset, have you spoken to Ryan?" Seth asked Marissa.

"Yeah, Jake phoned them, he said he would be on his way as soon as he could get here" Marissa sniffled,

"So what actually happened?" Seth asked them. Marissa began to cry again and Jake shied the question.

"She was swimming, she had taken her floats off, and she just slipped under." Marissa said regrettably.

"It was a complete accident, I shouldn't have even gone out this afternoon. I am such a terrible mother" Marissa said, falling against Seth again and crying.

"It will be alright Marissa, she was born a month early, and she was fine. She's an Atwood." Marissa hoped that Seth was right,

"Ryan should be here in a few hours then, I should call Summer." Marissa nodded and let Seth go. The were all interrupted by the nurse standing at the door, she had her clipboard and a stern look on her face.

"Miss Cooper, if you would like to come with me please." The nurse nodded towards Marissa, she quickly got up and followed her, not even minding that her face was red and blotchy or that she had make up absolutely everywhere, or that her clothes were still a little bit damp. It felt like a walk of shame, with a lot of the people in the hospital looking at her. The doctor led her into a room, a cold and dark room and on the bed lay Ottilie, all wired up to machines and sleeping.

"Oh my god" Marissa just stared at the broken mess of her daughter laying on the bed.

"We managed to resuscitate her, soon enough after you bought her in, however these next 24 hours are critical, and she will most likely want to sleep for the most part."

"What exactly is wrong with my baby?" Marissa squeaked.

"It is crucial, after drowning to make sure of no memory loss or further brain damage, it could go one of two ways at this point, it could either worsen, or she will be completely fine, so its best to not give up hope." Marissa nodded and the nurse excused herself from the room, leaving Ottilie and Marissa alone. Marissa sat down at her side, not knowing how long it had been since the accident, time had stood still for her, but she hoped wherever Ryan was, that he was on his way.
