Oh man! This story is intense right now, this chapter took a lot out of me. I like to make a shout out to AL1307, I liked giving you advice and since you did a shout out to me in her fic "Rollercoaster Relationships" I'll return the favour. Just don't try to go all out and psycho like I did...this fic is like 150 pages long!


Knocked Up And Ready to Deliver!

"This chapter is to air the dirty laundry, and man does it stink!"

Flora and Layla waited patiently in the waiting room. The mood was tense as Stella had just went through 9 hours of labour and still going at it in the Galaxy 5b General Hospital. Avalon called up the hospital along with Stella's father and Brandon. Fortunately, Avalon had his number on speed dial during most of the semesters that he had her as a student at Alfea. Layla laid back in her seat while Cassandra and Flora picked up two magazines and started reading.

"Man, I can't believe how long she screamed on the way in the ship," Layla said, "Who knew that going into labour would be so loud."

"Then why do you think they call it 'labour'?" Cassandra grumbled. Layla sighed.

"I think you have a point," Layla added.

"By the way, thanks for holding her down when we got her into the ship," Flora said sweetly. "That's very kind of you."

"Don't mention it, I've been through child birth without any help," Cassandra said gravely. "I guess I didn't want her to suffer just like I did alone..although she must be in a lot of pain right now which pleases me."

"I guess she hasn't went through a change of heart," Layla said annoyed. Suddenly Brandon and King Radius had came into the room. "Oh good, Brandon's finally got a set of clothes.."

"Shut up Layla," Brandon remarked to the fairy and looked towards Flora. "Where's my honey baby? Is she okay?"

"She's in the delivery room, we weren't allowed in since we aren't family," Flora said.

"Oh good," Brandon then looked over to Radius with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"I'll let you see her, but no funny business," Radius said with a scowl, grabbing Brandon by the scruff of the neck.

"Radius?"

"Cassandra?" King Radius remarked shocked at who he met in the waiting room. "Where have you been? I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Neither did I Radius," Cassandra said massaging his neck giving a coy smile.

"Ahem! You know this man, darling?" Avalon interrupted with a look in his eyes. Cassandra gave a fake smile.

"Just an old fiancee of mine. Broke my heart and never let me into his castle again," Cassandra said over-dramatically.

"Foul Wench..." Radius said through his teeth. Flora put up her hands.

"Stop! Cool it! Focus on a mantra," Flora said determinedly as she went into indian position on her seat.

"By the way, where were you guys? The Solarian guards were searching for Stella for months! There were rumours she might have been dead!" Brandon said worriedly.

"She went to Earth with us and stayed in Fiji for a while," Layla said. "We were trying to rescue Bloom."

"My daughter needed to be safe and relaxed at home," Radius said, "Our laws states that you can have almost 6 months maternity leave. She shouldn't have went to Earth in her condition."

"Well Earthlings go to tropical islands to get away..does that count?" Flora quipped.

"Makes sense, but she was under a lot of stress," Layla replied. "She hit the bottle a few times."

"You didn't let her have any hard liquor did you?" Layla and Flora looked at each other as Radius's eyes started to well up. "My baby girl is a recovering alcoholic...we tried to hide all the booze in the palace since I knew she was addicted."

"So that's why she went to all of those meetings, I thought it was the Handbag of the Month club," Brandon said appalled, suddenly a man in a white lab coat came into the room out of breath.

"Are you with Stella Princess of Solaria?" The doctor said hurriedly.

"Yes, she's my girlfriend, I'm the father," Brandon said worried as the doctor's expression turned concerned. "Is she okay?"

"Ms Stella is fine, yet there are severe birth defects for the child," The doctor said gravely. "We're lucky she survived..."

"It's a girl? She's already out?" Brandon shouted happily yet his face fell as he looked around the room. Everyone was silent and looking at the doctor. "B..b..but birth defects? Wh-wh-at happened?"

"Ms Stella has been extremely stressed out. Her body was enduring significant strains throughout the labour," The doctor revealed, he looked over at Radius and then to Flora and Layla. "I need to ask you; has Stella consumed any alcoholic beverages during pregnancy?"

"Um..well, uh.." Flora mumbled and sighed. "Yes sir. She has had a few drinks.."

"That is enough. We tested your daughter's blood alcohol level," The doctor said showing him the clip board. "We've come to a conclusion that she has FAS."

"FA...what?"Brandon said grasping the clipboard.

"Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. It's when a pregnant woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy. It is very dangerous for a woman to drink a few beers when she's pregnant. It leads to learning disabilities, behavioural problems, smaller features in the face and if the alcohol in the blood is not removed she will sustain a lot of damage and will die," the doctor informed. "That's why we must take her away and do some tests on her. Put her in a detox unit..."

"No! You can't take her away!" Brandon shouted, Radius got up and restrained him as he began to lean towards the doctor. "She's my daughter! It's not fair! You can't do this.."

"If she doesn't come with us, she will not survive!" The doctor said forcefully. "She needs treatment for what Stella has done."

"So now it's Stella's fault?" Brandon shouted. "Your blaming this all on her?"

"Your daughter is sick because of her!" The doctor yelled. "If she didn't have booze, she could have had a healthy beautiful baby!"

"Your nothing but a di..!" Brandon shouted and Radius grabbed him by the ear.

"Listen to me, Brandon. Stella couldn't help it! It is her fault," Radius whispered fiercely to his daughter's boyfriend. "This doctor is trying to help. She will be safe with him, try to get some of the alcohol out of her system to make sure she has a chance to live."

"Alright, I'll let you take her," Brandon said sadly. "Please, let me at least see her before she goes away."

The doctor nodded sympathetically and spread out his arms to embrace Brandon and show him inside. There were many tears as everyone in the waiting room tried to let everything all sink in. Radius couldn't believe that her baby had a baby and that they weren't sure she'll be okay. Cassandra and Avalon tried to comfort Flora and Layla but Layla felt a bit uncomfortable and sick when Cassandra wrapped her arms around her. The doors of the hospital entrance opened and out of the blue Riven and Musa appeared.

"GUYS!" Musa yelled towards them as she came with a slicked up hairstyle, baggy jeans and a jean jacket. "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? DO YOU KNOW THAT WE TRIED TO LOOK FOR YOU EVERYWHERE YOU STUPID HEADS!"

"Uh hi Musa," Flora said with an agitated smile, Musa glared at her friend. "How have you been..I see you're back with Riven.."

"Don't pick on her Musa," Layla remarked. "We were busy.."

"You didn't call, I was worried about you guys!" Musa said in a calmer tone sitting in the middle seat in between Flora and Layla. "What did you guys do since the last time I saw you?"

"We went to Earth to save Bloom." Flora said simply as she began to relax.

"YOU DID WHAT? DO YOU THINK I WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT BLOOM TOO? AWW GOD YOU'RE SO STUPID!" Musa shouted angrily at her.

"We thought you were busy with Riven," Layla answered. "You wanted alone time with him."

"I only wanted a night with him, not nine fricken months!" Musa exclaimed, she turned around to face Riven.

"Oh and I only stuck around for emotional support?" Riven said dryly as she gave a coy smile.

"He just likes me for my body now that I'm a Fairy of the Dusk," Musa remarked to Flora and Layla.

"What the heck is that?" Layla muttered.

"A dusk fairy is a fairy who had gone to the dark side during the time of the Crossroads. Griffin said it's a fairy with dark powers yet with good intentions," Musa explained. "You may have turned me good again Layla, but the dark energy within me is still there. It's like when the sun sets, it's the beginning of the night yet there is still a warm light glowing. Griffin said Dusk fairies are super rare and there are only 12 in this dimension."

"The best part of it is that she's ferocious in the sack," Riven added, Avalon and Radius looked at each other.

"Riven!" Musa shouted as the walls began to shake.

"Relax, it's just a joke! Calm down," Riven tried to coax, Musa stomped her foot as a subsonic melody played when a couple of paintings on the waiting room walls fell on the floor. "Chill.."

"Sorry, I get like that sometimes," Musa said. "Hey where's Stella? Is she with you?"

"Stella just had a baby with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome," Flora said gravely. "They have to take it away for detox.."

"Stel's pregnant? You guys don't tell me anything anymore!" Musa snapped.

"You didn't tell us your dad died! We didn't get invited to the funeral!" Layla snapped. "You were completely off the radar since Alfea! We all swore a pact that we'd keep in touch!"

"There wasn't a funeral! My dad wanted no one to feel sorrow for his death," Musa started to tear up. "He was cremated and his ashes were scattered next to my mom's grave so they could both be together. So what? You haven't been showing your face around..what secrets are you hiding from us Layla?"

"I don't keep secrets," Layla said submissively.

"Yes you do! Someone saw you with Baltor..."Musa hissed. The room all gasped.

"Baltor.." Layla whispered. "I hate Baltor as much as you do!"

"Is it true then?" Flora murmured, Layla gave her a blank stare.

"I've been with hundreds of criminals undercover," Layla stated. "But I haven't met Baltor yet.."

"He's dead!" Musa said. "You're nuts if you still think Baltor's alive!"

"Shut up!" Flora shouted, everyone was silent."Enough bickering, something's going on."

The three women turned to hear a scream coming from behind the maternity ward's doors. A great crash of something metal sounded as they rushed to the door and went in regardless of what the nurse was yelling about. When they went through the doors there was a howl like a dying whale as Stella stood in the maternity ward in a hospital gown shrieking.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY?" Stella hollered with tears streaking down her face. "WHY? WHY IS SHE LIKE THAT? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"She's sick, because of you!" the doctor shouted with the baby in his arms. Stella reached out towards her child as Brandon constrained her holding her by the bed sheets that were still wrapped around her. "You drank during your pregnancy, and that's why she has FAS!"

"I..I..I'm sorry, I'll be a good mother," Stella whimpered. "Please, give me back my baby.."

"She needs to come with us," the doctor said. "She needs treatment.."

"Please! Please give her back. I'll be a good girl..I'll be a good mother," Stella exclaimed softly in a crazed sort of tone. She reached out towards him, she quickly jerked her head towards Brandon. "Brandon, don't let her go. Please tell him she'll be okay with me..."

"Stella sweety, I know it's hard to give her up but the doctor knows what he's doing," Brandon consoled while tying her bed sheets around his waist. He picked her up in his arms, yet Stella frantically started to punch down his arms. With another scream she watched as the doctor walked away.

"MY BABY! DON'T TAKE HER AWAY!" Stella cried her cheeks and face wet with all the tears streaming down. She began to talk to the baby. "I KNOW I HAVE BEEN UNAPPRECIATIVE OF YOU BUT I STILL LOVE YOU! NO! PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER AWAY!"

Stella fell to her knees and began to squirm as if in a raging fit. She screamed as she tangled herself in the bed sheets and began to strangle herself with the sheets. The nurse who was working in the halls called for a five men dressed in white who looked like body builders and escorted the crazed Stella away.

"Where are you taking her?" Brandon asked the nurse as the group followed the men carrying the estranged princess down the hallway to a glass door where it had an alarm.

"We're taking her to the mental facility," the nurse remarked as she stepped through the threshold of the ward and started to motion with her hands to go away. "No visitors allowed through this point." She quickly closed the door to the psych ward as the Winx Girls watched the big goons take Stella into a padded cell on the other side of the glass door.


Finally Stella's where she belongs...this is dedicated to Britany Spears who went into the mental house for the fourth time this month! Oops you did it again!Pheofox22
