It was early the next morning when Sab went to Elaina's bedroom and knocked on the door. She leaned on the wall waiting for her to answer. She was about to knock again when Elaina opened the door.
Elaina saw that she wasn't well. "What's wrong you look pale?"
"I'm not feeling well. I woke up an hour ago. I've been feeling worse by the minute."
"Come in and sit down, we're both awake you won't bother Frank." Elaina took her by the hand and sat her in the chair.
"She was fine last night when we caught her trying to escape," Frank chuckled as he put his robe on.
"I was ok then, it could be from not sleeping too well lately," Sab considered.
"You've been way to worried with this wedding. You're probably exhausted from all the excitement."
"Do you think Dr. Nathan could see me this morning? Oh no…" Sab ran to the bathroom.
"I better find out that's not a good thing to be happening on your wedding day." Elaina picked up the phone and called the Dr.'s office and talked to the receptionist. As she was listening to the receptionist they heard a thump in the bathroom. Frank went in to find Sab passed out in the floor.
Elaina followed after hanging up. Frank carried her to the bed and laid her down. "This is not a good sign at all." Frank said.
"The receptionist said she'd have him wait for us at the hospital, he's doing rounds."
Frank patted Sab on the face to get her to come to. "Come on, Sab, wake up."
"What happened?" She asked not remembering where she was or what happened.
"Well you passed out for one thing," Frank told her.
"I'm going to take you to the Emergency room to be checked out," Elaina said, getting dressed.
"You are?" Sab asked still in a fog. "I don't have time. I'm getting married today."
"Well you're going. I don't want any arguments about it," Elaina said, sternly.
"Shouldn't I get dressed too?" Sab realized she had her sweatpants and tank top on.
"You're fine in that, you'll be put in something else there anyway," Elaina told her, helping her off the bed.
"Want me to help you get her to the car?" Frank offered.
"No, I can handle her. If Cody calls don't tell him what's going on, just tell him she's busy."
"I'll handle Cody just make sure she's ok." Frank said as they left the room.

Bea arrived at the mall early in the morning to avoid the weekend shoppers. She wanted to have lots of time to pick out a necklace for Sab from the whole team. They decided for her to do the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. They decided that a necklace from the team should make a wonderful gift for something new.
As Bea made her way to the display cases in one store, she saw a young man by the clothing department who looked very familiar. He looked like Dom, but it couldn't be, he was dead. She turned away from the jewelry and walked toward the clothes. She turned her head to look behind her, then turned back to the man who was now gone.
"What the…?" Bea said to herself as she stopped walking. She stared off in the direction of where the man used to be. She then shook her head and walked back to the jewelry.
"May I help you Madame?" the sales clerk asked her, as she approached.
"Yes, I'm looking for a necklace that I could give to my friend, she's getting married today."
"I see, is your friend younger or older than you?"
"Younger. She is 22."
"You may like to get her a locket that she can place a wedding photo in. I've many to choose from," the lady replied as she showed Bea over to another case.
"Alright. What shapes and sizes do they come in? I really don't want it being too big for her."
"I have an oval or round one. This silver one with the Victorian heart engraved on the front is my favorite. It isn't too big either." The clerk showed her the locket.
"That's gorgeous," Bea said admiring the necklace. "I think I'll take that one"
"Ok, shall I wrap it up for you?" The lady asked as she closed the case and carried the locket over to the cash register.
"Yes, please," Bea said as she looked over the clerk's shoulder to see the man again. This time he was starring right at her. He was too far away to see his face, but she was sure it was the same man.
"Madame?" The clerk asked her as she looked at Bea, who's still starring off.
"Sorry?" Bea looked at the clerk then back at the man but he had disappeared once more. "I thought I just saw someone I knew."
"Happens to me a lot," the clerk said as Bea paid for the necklace and handed her the bag.
"Thank you." Bea said as she walked out of the store.
She walked over to the Coffee Hut to get a cup of coffee before heading out to her vehicle. "What the hell am I seeing?" she said out loud to herself as she approached the car. "Dom is dead; Sab had shot him the last time he came for her. Why am I seeing things?"
"Something's aren't always as they seem." A voice behind her startled her. She turned around fast but only ended up being thrown up against her car and knocked out.

Dr. Nathan was waiting for them to arrive at the nurse's station. When he saw them come in he sat Sab in a wheelchair and took her to an Exam room.
"So how long have you been feeling this bad?" he asked as they wheeled her into a room.
"I've had an upset stomach off and on for the past few days, but it goes away after a while. This seems worse somehow."
"She's been going nonstop on planning her wedding and now the big day has arrived and she's sick," Elaina explained.
"Sounds like I just got invited to a wedding," Daniel joked.
"Actually Lainie, that may not be such a bad idea, the way I feel today." Sab said thinking about it.
"Since when did she start calling you that?" Daniel asked.
"You're pretty damn nosy aren't you?" Elaina smiled. "When we're in best friend mode she has been calling me that. Does that satisfy your curiosity?"
"I was just making conversation is all," Daniel replied. He turned to the nurse that was there. "Drain her and I want a complete blood work up on her, A to Z."
"Drain me?" Sab asked a little scared.
"Not literally, he was just joking," Elaina told her.
"Oh. Can you give me something for my stomach, please?" Sab asked.
"Sure, I'll go get something for you," Daniel walked out.
"Don't you feel better at all?" Elaina asked still worried.
"Not really, but I haven't thrown up in a while."
"That I noticed."
"I can't be sick. I can't delay or cancel the wedding; it's too late. I'll get married if I have to be wheeled down the aisle," Sab insisted.
"Whoa, slow it down a bit. Take a deep breath and calm down. You obsessing about this wedding, its probably your problem, so just relax," Elaina told her.
"I think she's right. You should relax and I'm ordering you to go and get at least two hours of sleep, after I examine you more. Do that and you should be able to walk down the aisle and get married. This is for your stomach the first sign of it being upset, take it."
"Thanks for this. As for the sleep, how can I go to sleep with all I have to do today?"
"If you don't sleep there won't be a wedding," Daniel stressed.
"You'll sleep or I'll have you knocked out," Elaina threatened.
"You won't have to knock me out. Sing to me maybe," Sab giggled.
"Well it does seem to work for Sarah, maybe I will try it on you."
"Well we'll get her ready for the examination. You'll have to wait till later for the song," Daniel said as the nurse walked back in. "Help Miss Kells. Call me when she's ready. Elaina, we'll wait outside."
"Alright. Try to relax," Elaina said as she left Sab in the room.
"Thanks."

Bea opened her eyes slowly as she felt the pain in her head from the blow. She focused her eyes to find that she was in a small-dark room by herself. Her hands were tied down to the chair that she was sitting in. "Who hit me and where am I?" She thought out loud to herself as she tested the rope's strength, which unfortunately was too tight for her. She then slumped back into the chair to think of a way to free herself. Just then a door behind her opened. Bea turned her head to face a glow of yellow light peak in and a man walked in. She couldn't see his face but she saw that he was holding Sab's gift.
"Who the hell are you?" Bea asked him.
"I didn't think it was that long that you'd forget me, Agent Bea." The voice sounded familiar, but it was different in a way. He walked closer to her so she could see his face.
"Dom?! It can't be!" Bea said stunned.
"Oh, it can be," Dom replied, playing with the necklace in his hands.
"How? Sab shot you. I even checked your pulse myself and saw your body in the morgue," Bea wondered trying to figure this all out.
"Well I guess, Sabrina never told you of my brother."
"Your brother?" Bea was confused."
"Yeah, I have a twin brother, Darious. Sabrina probably never told you cause we've been separated for a long time," Dom explained. "He used to hang around us, Sab and I, when we were at the warehouse. Also used to hack with us. He and Sab were good friends as well, but she was never able to tell us apart. No one could."
"So why didn't she mention him before?"
"That's the thing, he and I had a huge fight one day. It was actually over her, too. Sab and I had just gotten together as a couple, but Dare was actually in love with her, had been for a long time. We got into this big argument, which made Sabrina run out for a while so not listen to us anymore. When she came back, he was gone. I told her he didn't want to be around us anymore, actually he didn't want to be around me," Dom continued. "Haven't talked to him since I got a hold of him a few months back when I told him about how Sabrina turned on all of us. I told him that she was a threat to us, if she talked, we'd all be in trouble, including him. That's when we switched identities; he didn't want to lose the life he made with all of us. He pretended to be me when he was with Sabrina. She never knew which one of us she killed."
"So you let your brother die?"
"Actually, that wasn't planned till later. I was hoping the Dare would get her out of there and bring her to me. Then I'd kill him. But Sabrina took care of that for me," Dom said playing with the necklace again. "Darious was just another thing in my way, as you'll soon be."
"Why me?"
"You were one of the agents that took her away from me. Brainwashed her into thinking I didn't love her, that she didn't need me."
"But she doesn't need you. She did it herself; she realized the jerk you were. She has moved on, Dom," Bea stated.
"Yeah, moved on to Cody," Dom said holding the necklace up to her. "Was this for her? For her wedding?"
"How did you know she was getting married?" Bea asked surprised that he knew.
"I have my ways. I'm still able to hack the FBI system, Elaina's computer actually. I've been following the team's on going's for the past few months now," Dom replied. "I found it very interesting to find that Donovan and the bitch were actually married, let alone Sab getting married. Oh well, there won't be another wedding."
Dom walked over to her to place the locket on the arm of the chair then walked to the door. "Wait! What are you going to do?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Dom said with a devilish look.
Bea turned her head back to face the wall. She slumped in the chair a bit trying to think of how she could escape. She turned to the locket that lay on the arm of the chair. "This was supposed to be Sab's greatest day of her life, but now he's gonna screw it up," Bea said to herself as she stared at the locket. She remembered seeing a trash can near by with shards of glass sticking in it. "Dom, you're not a bright boy to leave that sitting in here with me." She moved the chair, the locket fall onto the floor; she made the chair itself fall to the floor. As she did the legs of the chair hit the wastebasket to turn it over, too. She lay there on the floor, still tied to the chair, she fingers for a shard of glass trying not to cut herself. She found one and started to rub the sharp edge on the ropes.

Sab and Elaina arrived back at the ranch where Elaina found a note from Frank. Elaina read it quickly watching Sab go upstairs.
Lady,
Went to help calm down Cody. I'm taking Sarah to Megan's.
She'll bring her to the park for the wedding. Call me, after you
read this, I want to know how she is. Love.
"Do you want to call Cody? Frank went to see him? He's had a case of the nerves, too."
"No. You can call and talk to Frank, but don't worry Cody by telling him about me."
"I hadn't planned on telling him. I'm leaving that decision up to you. Do you want me to call your Mom?"
Sab sat down on the stairway. "Do you think I should bother her with this? Isn't it enough that you and Frank know?"
"Sabrina, I realize that you just found her and all but, I think you should trust her enough to tell her you're not feeling well."
"But I don't want to worry her." Sab sounded tired.
"Go on up, I'll call Frank and then come in and check on you. If you want the tape I made for Sarah it's in her room," Elaina told Sab as she got up.
"Whoa!" Sab swayed on the stairs catching herself from falling. Elaina ran up the steps to help her.
"Come on, I'll tuck you in first then make my call. I wish Daniel had been able to finish the exam, before that emergency came up. I'd like to have known what's exactly wrong with you."
"Thanks, I think you're right it's just stress and worry about the wedding," Sab said leaning a little on her as they walked to the guest room. "You're a great mom, even if you're not mine."
"Thanks." Elaina helped her in bed. "I'll go get that tape."
Elaina went to Sarah's room and came back in with the tape. She put it in the stereo and adjusted the volume. "Do you want me to stay a while?"
"If you don't mind, I'm a little scared," Sab confessed.
"You'll be fine with a little rest, and oh yeah, you're to drink some water. I'll go get that. Daniel said you were dehydrated." Elaina went to the bathroom and brought out a small cup of water. "This should do for now, I don't want you waking up too often to use the bathroom." Elaina and Sab giggled.
"That does hit the spot though," Sab said after drinking it.
"Close your eye's, listen to the music and fall asleep," Elaina let her voice drift off to a whisper.
Elaina waited until she knew that Sab was asleep; then went to her room to call Frank.
"Hi Love, how's Cody doing?" Elaina asked after Frank answered.
"Hang on a minute," Frank replied going out on the balcony. "I'm running out of excuses as to why he can't talk to Sabrina. What did the doctor say?"
"Well she's was a little dehydrated and he's running some blood tests. As far as Cody is concerned, tell him she'll call him in a little while and that she is resting."
"I've used that one already," Frank said. "Just make sure she does call him, soon."
"I will. Where are Caleb and Carol?"
"They're here, but they're wondering why she hasn't called at least, too." Frank sounded exasperated.
"Sounds like you need a break."
"I think I know what's wrong with Sabrina," Frank said.
"So what's your theory?"
"She's going to have a baby."
"Are you nuts?! She told me they were waiting, they didn't want kids yet and that they were taking precautions."
"Think Lady of how you acted when you were pregnant with Sarah. She's having the same symptoms you had."
"It's her nerves, Frank. Look at how she was a few weeks ago when Travis was in the hospital she was sick then too. Now, she's just nervous about her wedding." Elaina refused to think about it.
"I guess we'll see who's right when the tests come back. What do I get if I'm right?"
"Oh I'll think of something, but you better be wrong for Sab's sake."
"You don't think she's ready to handle a baby?"
"She feels that way. I've talked to her and told her I'd help and so would her mother, when the time comes," Elaina replied.
"Speaking of her mom, did you call her and tell her what was going on?" Frank asked.
"She didn't want me to worry her. I'll try to get her to call her when she wakes up."
"Ok, gotta go, Cody's coming. Bye Lady."
"Bye." Elaina barely said it before he hung up. She shook her head then walked downstairs to finish getting things ready.

"Where you talking to Elaina? Where's Sab? I want to talk to her before the wedding." Cody was a bundle of nerves.
"She's fine she has a lot to get done before the wedding. Just, be patient." Frank told him as Caleb walked over.
"My son giving you a hard time Frank?" Cody's father asked.
"Not anymore than usual." Frank smiled.
"You're keeping something from me. I want to know what it is," Cody insisted.
"I'm not hiding anything Cody your imagination is running rampant. Go sit down and relax. If Sab sees you like this she'll call the wedding off," Frank joked.
"She'd never do that to me. Would she?" Cody asked being unsure of the day.
"No! I was only kidding you," Frank told him
"You really need to relax, go sit down and talk to your mother," Caleb told him. Cody walked in from the balcony and sat down with his Mom.
"Tell me, Frank, were you that nervous when you had your wedding?"
"Not really, I knew most of the plans and knew what Elaina was doing just about every minute we were apart."
"Knowing you two, you called each other every five minutes to talk," Caleb laughed as Frank actually blushed.
"Actually it was every ten minutes," Frank said laughing.
"I wish we could've been able to come here for your wedding but since you had a winter wedding these old bones just couldn't take the cold."
"No need to apologize. You did get the video from Cody didn't you?" Frank asked.
"Yes we did. I have to say it was a beautiful ceremony. I particularly like the cake cutting part. You set Cody straight on that," he said remembering Frank throwing the cake at Cody and Sab.
"We wanted it to be fun for every one," Frank said, laughing.
