Two weeks had passed. Amelia and Paige were dress shopping.
"The wedding is going to be so great." Paige said.
"Yeah even though I'll probably be three times the size I was when I was pregnant with Renee."
"You're gonna look great."
"Have you and John thought about names yet?"
"No but we're buying a name book soon." "Oh, did I tell you Grace is having a baby girl?"
"No."
"Yeah she's really excited."
"Good for her." "I wonder how much they should let this out." "I'm gonna get bigger."
"I'm sure they can make last minute alterations." "Don't worry I won't let my best friend stand with me looking terrible."
"I know." She felt guilty. She knew that eventually Paige would know that she slept with John and was possibly having his children. She started to cry.
"Amelia what's wrong?"
"Nothing." "Just pregnancy hormones." She said wiping her eyes.
"Yeah I know what that's like."
"I probably get double with twins."
"Yeah."
Later that night John came back to the hotel from an autograph signing.
"I'm back."
"I'm in here." Paige said from the bedroom. He went into the bedroom. Paige was sitting on the bed. watching TV. "Hi honey."
"Hey."
"How was your signing?"
"Good." He changed his clothes and got in bed. They kissed. "How are you and the baby?"
"Good we missed daddy."
"How long has Clara been sleeping?"
"About an hour."
"Did she finish her homework?"
"Yeah." "Then we played for awhile and she went to sleep." "Now I figure you and I can play." She said smiling.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Come here." They kissed.
The next evening Paige was on her way back to the hotel. She pulled into a gas station for some gas. As she went up to pay through the glass doors she could see a costumer pull a gun on the cashier. She hit out of sight right next to one of the glass doors. A few seconds later the door she was standing next to flung open and hit her stomach hard. The man ran off. Blood started pouring out of Paige.
"Ahhh!" She yelled in pain. She was having trouble breathing. "Help!" "Somebody help me!"
The last thing Paige remembered was being loaded into an ambulance.
Paige woke up in the hospital.
"Hey." John said. "It's alright." "You're gonna be fine."
"The baby."
"They did all they could Paige but…He got tears in his eyes.
"No." She said tearfully.
"I'm so sorry." They hugged.
"No, no, no." "John."
"I know." "Ssh it's ok."
