So what did you all think of Monday's episode? I admit, I cried at the end. I was just so moved that John was finally grateful to have Regina in his life. I am so frustrated at the look to next weeks episode. I will be so mad if Bay has sex with Ty! Don't get me wrong I like Ty and I believe that he is a good guy, but I just don't like them as a couple. I want to say thanks for all the wonderful reviews you guys are giving me. I hope you all enjoy. Thanks for reading :]

Please R&R and Enjoy :)

Chapter twenty-five: Taken

"A new baby how exciting." Dr. Grace said making Lana aware of where she was.

"Yeah,she brought plenty of excitement. Bout scared the hell out of all of us." Lana said getting to her feet.

"Is that so? From where I stood you did a spectacular job. Both mommy, and baby are fine." Dr Grace said looking at Lana with a huge smile.

Lana looked back suspiciously. "Why are you smiling so big?" Lana asked ask she sat on the sofa. As she made contact she realized she had just answered her own question.

"You finally put in some decor. This is a beautiful sofa. Where did you get it?" Dr. Grace asked as she sat next to Lana.

"I think it is the one in the living room at Emmett's apartment."Lana said also smiling.

"I see. I am so glad you chose him. You were going to do so all along, but I am glad you no longer have that struggle." Dr. grace said.

"Wait you knew all along that I would chose Emmett? Why couldn't you just tell me that." Lana said crossing her legs.

"It was something you had to figure out on your own. You had to come to it in your own time. Otherwise you won't believe me."

Lana said nothing to this. She knew Dr. Grace was right. "Daphne named the baby Madeline July. The Madeline part is after my middle name. I tried to talk her out of it because she is just really thankful to me, but she is a stubborn as I am."

"Well I think it is a lovely name. I think I like something old with something new. I take it you are getting along with the family"

"Yeah. I actually find myself thinking about them often. It is kinda weird. I haven't known them that long, but i care for them a lot."

"That is what family does." Dr. Grace said softly.

Lana sighed, "You know Simone stole some pictures I drew of Emmett? Or at least I think it was her."

"Why would she do that?" Dr. Grace asked confused.

"I have not clue. I feel like maybe I am missing something. I don't know." Lana stood as she shook her head.

"Maybe it is time to let Bay in." Dr. Grace said also standing. "I am sure she will have more answers."

"I don't know how. If I could I would."

"No Lana, you wouldn't. You still fear the missing pieces. You need to let go of that fear."

Lana looked at Dr. Grace. "How? I don't know how to let it go."

A soft thud had Lana turn around. Right behind her was a dark wood vanity table with a mirror. Dr. Grace put her hand on Lana's shoulder.

"I have never seen that before." Lana said quietly.

"Perhaps Bay has." Dr. Grace whispered back.

Lana stood looking into the mirror. At first she thought she was looking at herself, but she soon realized that she was not looking at her reflection. The girl in the mirror was younger then she was. Her hair was shorter, and she looked...sad. Lana stood unsure what to do. She was looking at herself, but the Bay part of herself. Lana closed her eyes. When she opened them Bay had her hand pressed to the glass. Slowly Lana lifted her hand. Right as she was about to touch Bay's hand she felt a jerk.

"Lana come on. Break time is over." Lilly said.

Lana blinked a few times. After a minute she sat up. "It has been forty-five minutes already? God I feel like crap." Lana said. She had been sick to her stomach all day.

"Yep. Are you feeling any better?" Lilly asked with a frown.

"Nope about the same." Lana stood. She yawned as she stretched.

"So that Ty guy is pretty cute." Lilly said slowly.

"Yeah he is." Lana said knowing where this was going. "You thinking about asking him on a date?"

"Maybe. But he does live a plane ride away. We exchanged number while he was here. I think we connected." Lilly smiled like a fool.

"Well you have my blessing if that is what you are looking for." Lana said with a smile. She just wanted Lilly to be happy. A small part of her worried for Shane. For some reason She hopped the two would end up together. But maybe not. She really didn't want to see him alone.

"Daphne is getting discharged." Lilly opened the door to the on call room. "I will see you there." She said then disappeared.

Lana stood looking down at little Madeline. She was so cute. "I will see you soon okay little one." She said. "Yeah I will."She smiled at her.

Emmett smiled as he watched Lana say her goodbyes. The Sight of Bay with a baby made him want to smile, and cry. He could see it. He could see them having their own baby, and being married. She looked like a natural. Emmett smiled. Yeah he never would have thought it when they first met.

He went behind her, and looked at the baby over her shoulder. Madeline was so little, and looked just like Daphne. Well Daphne with Wilke's nose. "She's beautiful." He said to Daphne.

Daphne smiled as she took Madeline from Lana. "You have to come visit soon. I want her to know you." Daphne said to Lana. For some reason this made Lana emotional.

"Yeah I will visit when I can." Hugs were exchanged, then they were gone. Lana was sad to see them go. She was sad when everyone else left. She missed her family.

Lana smiled at Emmett. "I have to get back to work. Will I see you when I get home?"

Emmett gave her a sad look, and it made her heart drop. "I have to get back to KC. I have appointments at the studio. I wish I could stay." Emmett hugged Lana who was trying not to cry. She didn't want him to go. When he pulled away she reached up, and gave him a hated being apart from him.

"I love you, Bay." Emmett eyed her. She kept telling him that she felt fine, but she looked like she was going to be sick. If he could stay he would. He hated leaving, and it was worse when he was sure she wasn't feeling good.

"I love you too." Lana said trying not to look to sad. With one last look at her Emmett left.

"He is going back to KC?" Lilly asked as they walked down the hall. "I kinda thought he was staying here."

"He has a job. He can't just pack up his life, and move. It wouldn't be far to even ask." Lana said.

"I can live with that." Shane said as he walked up behind them.

Lana stopped, and rounded on him. "You know if you can't be nice then don't even bother talking to me." Lana snapped sick of Shane's snide comments.

Shane put up his hands in defeat. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"Are you still hanging out with Simone?"

"No, I don't think it would have work out anyway. She seems a bit controlling. She is pissed about it, By the way."

Lana nodded. "Good. Okay. I apologize."

She turned back around, and slipped into a patient's room. Lilly, and Shane shared confused looks. "Is it her time of month?" Shane asked.

Lilly shrugged, and shook her head. "No she usually gets it at the...Oh..my..god."

Lilly walked off without another word leaving Shane even more confused. "Chicks." He said out loud, then shook his head.

That stupid bitch! Simone thought to herself as she paced in the shadows outside of Clearwater Memorial Hospital.

She had been planning on confronting Bay for days, but like always she just paced here in the shadow. Bay had taken everything from her. She was thrilled to learn that Bay was dead.

The anger she felt when Bay was actually alive was enough to drive someone mad. And now Shane didn't even want her! Simone kicked at the wall.

She took her sanity, She took Toby, and Shane. Hell she turned half the people against her. Her whole life is a failure because of Bay! Well...Simone though with an evil grin. The bitch will pay!

"Hey Lana." Lilly said as she walked into the locker room. "So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out at my place tonight. I rented some romantic move called 'The Lake House' figured we could have a girls night."

"You just saved my life. That sounds one hundred times better the going home." Lana smiled as she put on her jacket.

"You can always count on me." Lilly said.

As the girls left the hospital Lana stopped in her tracks. She squinted into the shadows felling unsettled. She was almost sure she just saw someone watching them. Lilly backtracked, and fallowed Lana's gaze seeing nothing. "Lana you okay?" She asked taking Lana's arm with hers.

Lana nodded slowly. "Yeah I thought I saw someone." Lana shook her head then smiled at Lilly. "I guess the long hours are getting to me."

Lilly laughed as they both started off again. Lilly glanced behind them to the shadows still seeing nothing. With a mental head shake she started talking about nothing letting the chatter fill up the feeling of unease.

Lana and Lilly both sat on the sofa wiping tears from their eyes. "Well that was a tear jerker. I am glad it ended well." Lilly said with a had always hated the way sad movies left her feeling.

"Yeah it would have sucked otherwise." Lana said. She took a sip of ginger ale. She was still feeling queasy.

Lilly took a deep breath. "So I feel like something was supposed to happen to you at the beginning of the month." Lilly said confusing Lana. Lilly waited. Lana had always had bad cramps with her period so Lilly always gave her Tylenol at work. Lana always had her period within the first week of the month. It was going into the third week now.

"Lilly I don't know what you are talking about." Lana said honestly.

"Come on Lana a friend was supposed to visit, remember?" Lilly pushed again.

"Lilly what ar..." Lana sat up straighter. "Oh...my...god." Lana stood. "Oh my god. Oh my god. What...Oh my god." Lana couldn't seem to get out a full sentence. "Oh god! What if I am pregnant?" Lana started pacing.

Lilly stood. "Lana don't panic. We don't know that you are. Take a deep breath."

Lana tried to breath. She felt like she was going to pass out. She couldn't be. Could she? She felt Lilly bring her back to the sofa. They both sat slowly.

"Look there is no point in panicking tonight. Tomorrow before I start work we will get you a test. Lana it will be okay. Either way."

"I don't know that I am ready." Lana said taking a deep breath.

"Is Emmett?" Lilly asked.

Lana looked at Lilly. Lilly was smiling. Yeah he was ready. Lana let herself relax into the couch. "I think he is ready for it all. Daphne said he was."

"Like I said, all will be fine." Lilly said.

"No, it wont. A baby changes things. Emmett, and I are in a long distance relationship, which has it's own issues. I think I have spent more money on plane fare within the past few months then I have in my entire life. If we have a baby I have to choose. Here or KC."

Lilly bit her bottom lip. "Well KC does have a hospital. You could transfer."

"Lilly I don't want you leave you guys behind. This is the only life I have ever known. Well you know what i mean. It's the only one i can remember."

Lilly took Lana's hands. "Well you know. I have been looking for a change in scenery. KC could be the change I need."

Lana shook her head. "Lilly I can not ask you to move with me. That would be unfair. What about your mom?"

"She has the chief. The other day she told me they are thinking of moving in together. She will be fine. And she can visit often. Lana I want to do this."

"No Lilly. I don't think it's a good idea. What about Shane? We both can't leave him behind. I feel bad enough about him."

"Then he can come to. Lana you deserve to be happy." Lilly said squeezing Lana's hand.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean everyone has to sacrifice for me. I just don't know."

"And now we wait." Lilly said once she returned to Lana from the lab. Lilly wanted to tell the nurse not to tell anyone about Lana so she walked with her to the lab. They had decided on a blood test, and those usually took about a half hour.

Lana took a deep breath. She felt like she was going to pass out. She was so nervous. "Who did you give the test to?" Lana asked.

"Dillson, but he said the OB's intern will bring it in. I wonder who got caught this week." Lilly said. The interns all shifted through the different specialties this way when it came time to choose what you wanted to specialize in you have a well rounded knowledge of them all.

Lana had only worked OB twice, and both weeks were uneventful. She mostly just ran labs. The lovely work of an intern. They did a lot of leg work and patient check-up. But still, there were plenty of eventful shifts.

"Did you see Shane on your way through?" Lana asked. "I don't think he would take the news all that well."

"No actually I didn't. Maybe he is not in yet."

Finally the wait was up. There was a knock on the door, then it flew open. Lana's heart dropped when Shane came in with her chart. He was the OB's intern this week. And the truth was she shouldn't be surprised. The man worked OB more then any other intern. He was thinking of making it his specialty.

"Well this is interesting." Lilly said hoping to lighten the mood. Both Lana and Shane gave her 'the look'.

"Congratulations you are pregnant." Shane said as his eyes watered. "I need to give you an exam."

Lana said nothing as she laid back. She knew that an exam was possible so she had already changed into a gown. The exam was awkward. Even Lilly seemed to fidget more then usual. Shane stayed completely silent. Lana could help, but think what Emmett would have done if he were here. She laughed a little. He would request a different doctor.

In the end, after the usual questions it was determined that she was a month along. "Thank you." Lana said as Shane stood. He looked at her, and she could tell he was sad. "Shane I..."

"He is a good man Lana. I know that. I don't like it, but I also don't like the awkwardness between us. If you thought you were pregnant before he came into the picture then you and Lilly would have come to me, and the three of us would be where the two of you are. I love you Lana, but I miss you as a friend."

"I miss you too Shane." Lana said unsure what else to say.

"Will he be okay with you being Pregnant?" Shane asked sitting back down.

"Yeah I think he will be. He is ready for it all. Or at least that is what Daphne said."

"Then I hope you to will be happy together. I give you my full support, if you need anything let me know." Shane smiled as he stood. "Congratulations."

He left leaving both Lana, and Lilly pleasantly surprised. Lana had to smiled. She hoped things with Shane would get better now.

"So what are you going to do now?" Lilly asked as Lana got dressed.

"I am going to KC. I have to tell Emmett in person. I think I will surprise him, so not telling." Lana said making Lilly laugh.

"I am glad you guys are working out. I really like Emmett. And to be honest I am super excited about being a god mother!" Lilly said excitedly.

"And who said you are going to be it's godmother?" Lana teased.

"Oh come on, who are you trying to fool." Lilly said. "Lets get you on that plane. You have work tomorrow night."

Emmett sat at his computer in the studio as he edited some pictures for a family. It was about two, and he needed to grab food before his three thirty appointment.

The light shined in when the door opened causing Emmett to turn in his chair. He sighed. Simone Sinclair. What the hell did she want? Emmett grabbed his phone an wrote. "What are you doing here" The turned the phone holding it out to her so she could read without coming closer.

She squint her eyes as she read. "Oh come on. You know you want me." She said then seemed to giggle.

Emmett barley understood what she said. As she came closer he stood, and back away some. Now he could smell the booze, and realized she must have slurred her words. Emmett shook his head, and mouth "Please leave."

Lana pulled up to Emmett's studio. It was bigger then she imagined it would be. She went to the door, taking a deep breath she pulled it open, and stepped in.

Lana stood frozen in place as Simone jumped away from Emmett who wore a face of guilt. She couldn't believe her eyes. She just walked in on them kissing! She struggled to breath. It felt like someone just hit her in the chest with a truck. As the tears rushed to her eyes she turned, and quickly left.

"Bay!" She heard Emmett call out. She paused right before she reached the car. She felt choked. She had only ever heard him speak once.

Emmett grabbed her wrist turning her around. Her heart fell when she saw the tears, and fear on his face. "I swear she came on to me. Bay please."

Bay cried as she shook her head. "How do I know that's true. I do I know that you are not into her?" She suddenly felt very insecure.

"Have a little faith in me. Bay I hate her. She just showed up here not even five minutes before you. She is drunk. Bay, have faith in me." Emmett pleaded. "Please."

Lana opened her car door, and was about to get in when Emmett said three words out loud that broke her into pieces. "Please don't leave."

Lana shook her head some more. She looked down when Emmett took her hand. It was crazy that the simple touch made butterflies in her stomach. The man just had something about him. She looked at him. The fear in tears were to real for him to be lying. But she felt so hurt, and betrayed. Right in this moment she could understand why she left him. She closed the car door. She couldn't walk away from him again. She couldn't do it.

Lana couldn't stop crying which annoyed her. She just stood here crying like an idiot. Emmett gently wiped away her tears before pulling her into a hug. She held onto him tight. He was shaking, and she was sure he was crying too.

After a few minutes they pulled apart. "How about we go get some food. My treat." Lana said wiping away tears. She really just wanted to find a bed, and curl up to Emmett.

"Why don't we just have something delivered." He said bringing her inside. There was a sofa in the little office, and he took her to it. Once they sat he pulled her over to him, and just held her.

They both forgot about food. They just sat holding each other. Lana was happy when Emmett stopped shaking. She was working up the courage to tell him she was pregnant.

Before she knew it, it was three thirty, and Emmett had to get back to work. He gave her the keys to his house, and asked her to wait for him there. He didn't want her to have to hang around here.

Once she got there she laid down. She felt bad for even thinking Emmett would want Simone. She was just crazy jealous when it came to Emmett. Every girl just needed to keep her hands off. Lana settled into the couch, and fell to sleep.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. Lana's phone went off. It was about six, and Lilly text her. "Lana he is back. The guy that hurt me. Please I need you to come home!" Lana jumped up. She tried to call, but Lilly didn't pick up. She texted that she would be there asap. Lana jumped into her car, and speed to the airport.

After she got her ticket she texted Emmett explaining to him what was going on. The plane wouldn't be taking off for another hour. This had Lana on edge. She also tried calling Shane, but he wasn't answering either.

Before she boarded the plane she tried to call Lilly again. It made her nervous that she wasn't answering. God please let her be okay!

The plane couldn't go fast enough. Lana ran out of the airport as if the place was getting burning down. She found the first cab, and jumped in. She shook her leg as the cab was in motion. She kept imagining all sort of bad things. Her heart broke in her chest as she thought about Lilly lying dead on the floor. She tried Shane again, but this time the phone went straight to voice mail. She wasn't sure what to do. She thought about calling the cops, but had Lilly already done that? It had been hours since Lilly's text.

Suddenly Lana felt unsure about it all. Something seemed off. Lana shook her head. Lilly would play that kind of trick. It had to be real. Maybe She had just seen the man and freaked. Or maybe she was really in trouble. Lana wanted to cry. Please let her be okay. She thought to herself.

Once the cab pulled in front of Lilly's house Lana threw money on the passenger seat, and jumped out telling the guy to keep the change. Lana ran to the house nearly tripping on the steps. She went to run in, but the door was locked. She banged on the door, but there was no response. "Lilly!" She called out. Still there was now answer. She was about to turn to go around back when she felt a sharp pain on her head. She saw the person's face, then all went black.

I hope you all enjoyed. Please leave reviews. Thanks :]
