In the waiting room Shane, Vince and Linda were there. Shane left Marissa and Declan home since it was only seven in the morning

"Do you know what happened?" Shane asked

"No we only got a call at about 5:30 saying that Steph was in this hospital" Vince states

"I am worried, they only call that early when something really bad has happened" Linda says already crying

A few minutes later Vince sees Paul's parents, Patricia and Paul coming down the hall. They also saw his sister Lynn and her two kids Nayssa and Peter also.

"What are you all doing here?" Vince asked

"The hospital called us about and hour ago, saying that she was in the hospital. Have you found out anything yet?" Patricia asked

"No they haven't told anyone yet"

"Uncle Shane" Peter says pulling on his finger. "Will Aunt Stephie be ok?"

Shane smiled, Paul's niece and nephew were very close to Stephanie. Especially Nayssa"

"I am sure that she will be ok"

"Have you seen Uncle Paul?"

"Umm...no. Has anyone seen Paul?"

"Well we were hoping that he was already here" Paul Sr. said

"He might be here already"

"Me want Aunt Stephie" Nayssa cried

"Don't worry I'm sure she is alright" Linda told her

"Ok Grandma Linda" She says

The family sits in the waiting room. The notice a lot of police officers and detectives in the hospital

Paul has yet to go out in the waiting room. He couldn't figure out what he was going to tell them. He knew that Linda would probably freak out. Shane and Vince would probably want to beat up the first person that they saw. Then again, he knew he was worrying them. He figured that he would tell them straight and get it done quickly. He kisses Stephanie's hand and slowly walks out into the waiting room. He looks and sees the whole family there. He wasn't expecting his parents to come too. He sighed walking over to them

"Uncle Paul" Nayssa says being the only one to see him as she hopes off her mothers lap

"Hey there sweetheart"

"You were crying?" She asked

Everyone stared at Paul. It was obvious that he was crying and that worried them slightly. Paul didn't want them to know that he was crying. But it was the first thing that his niece noticed.

"Only a little" He whispers. "I wasn't expecting for you all to be here"

"Yeah well we all got called" Patricia said

"What time did they bring her here?" Linda asked

"I don't know I wasn't with her when she arrived" He said

"What do you mean that you weren't here?" Lynn asked

"She was here in New York when all this happened. I got a call at 2am from the hospital"

"So Paul what is wrong with Steph" Vince asked

Paul eyed his niece and nephew and knew he couldn't say it in front of them. So he had to get them to move for a minutes so he could tell them. He suddenly got an idea and pulled a dollar bill out of his pocket

"Why don't you two go get something from the snack machine down the hall?" He said handing Peter the dollar

"Ok" He says grabbing his little sister's hand and walking down the hall

Everyone there could tell that he did that just to get them to leave, which told them that this was serious. Paul waited until his niece and nephew were far enough down the hall not to hear anything.

"I think you all should sit down first" He says as they all sit

Linda didn't like the way that Paul looked and grabbed Vince's hand for support. Paul took a deep breathe before speaking.

"Stephanie was raped and sodomized" He said not looking at them

Linda, Patricia and Lynn broke into tears, as Paul Sr., Vince and Shane all stood there shocked.

"Not my baby" Linda cried as Vince held her

"She was beaten pretty badly and she is still unconscious" He says

Shane couldn't believe what he was hearing. Someone hurt his baby sister

"She's in pretty bad shape" Paul whispers trying to fight back tears

Soon Nayssa and Peter comes back from the vending machine

"Why is everyone crying?" Peter asked

"We are just upset because Stephanie is hurt" Lynn explained

"Can we please see her?" Peter asked

Lynn looked over to Paul who shook his head. This signaled to her that Stephanie was too bad off for the kids to see.

"Not yet sweetie, but you can soon"

"So who is going to be brave and go in first?" Paul asked

"I think I will go in and see her first" Shane said

"She is hooked up to a lot of machines" Paul said while leading him to Stephanie's room

Shane took a step into the room and it sent chills up his spine. The room was only slightly lit. He walks in and over to his sister's bed and his heart broke. He looked back over to Paul.

"Yeah I know... it broke my heart too" "I can't wait until they find the bastard"

"That may be hard since they do not have any evidence. So far they haven't been able to get any DNA"

Shane sighed. He would go out there and find everyone that lived near Steph and beat the shit out of them it he had to.

"I'll give you a few minutes alone with her" Paul says stepping out of the room

Shane turns his attention back to his little sister

"I know you can hear me Stephie. I know we argued a lot and we disagreed but I would never want anything bad to happen to you. You have to make it through this sis. I need you and so does our whole family. Paul needs you a lot Stephie. You can't leave him now. You can't leave any of us now, and besides you promised me a niece or nephew. Declan needs his Aunt around and so does Nayssa and Peter. In fact they are outside crying for you right now. I'll let you rest now baby sis" He says kissing her hand and walking out the room

Shane comes out of the room with tears in his eyes. "Anyone else like to go in?"

They all look towards Vince and Linda but they say "We are not ready yet"

"Then we will go in" Paul, and Patricia said

"I'll go with you" Lynn said as Peter and Nayssa stayed with Paul

They slowly made their way into the room. Lynn sat in the chair as the two parents sat on the edge of the bed

"Stephie c'mon, you can't leave my little brother now. He needs you so much. You were always like a sister to me and you will always be a sister to me. I told Nayssa that you were in a deep sleep and she said that before she goes to sleep tonight she is going to make a wish on a star that you will wake up. I know you will be fine Steph, you're a fight just like Paul"

Then Paul's parents began to speak. "Stephanie you are a very special part of our lives. You don't know how much you mean to us. Believe it or not you are a big part of the Levesque family. You always brought life to our house. You are and will always be a treasure to us and will always be in our hearts. You were like a second daughter to us. Get better sweetheart" They finished by kissing her on the forehead and walking out the room

"Paul would you like to go next" Linda said seeing his parents and sister coming out of the room in tears "I think you need to go first" Paul says

Vince and Linda take a deep breath before stepping into the room. Lind immediately starts crying as she sees all the machines Stephanie is hooked up to. Vince decides to speak first. "Hey there princess, Daddy is here for you now" He says holding her hand. "I just wish that I could have been there last night to kill that pervert who did this to you. Look I know that we have had a past with each other. And sometimes we loved each other to death while other times we could rip each other apart, but no matter how stubborn you are and how you may like to talk back to me, you will always be daddy's little girl" Linda then speaks. "My poor baby, I wish I could have done something to help you. I remember the day I brought you home from the hospital. You were the most adorable baby ever, but you never liked hospitals. I know that you are strong Steph, you have been since you were born. You hold this family together and we can't loose you yet. You still have a whole life ahead of you, don't let this beat you please... Just remember that we will always love you princess" They both say before walking out of the room

The couple comes out of the room holding hands and with tears n their eyes, pretty much the same way that everyone else came out the room. Soon Paul walked back in.

"Hey there" He says sitting next to her. "I know that you have had a lot of visitors today and you must be sleepy so I will keep it short. I love you, don't ever doubt it. I just wanted you to know that I will always be by your side and when you wake up, I am going to help you get through this. I will be by your side day and night. You are my whole world Steph and I can't live without you. Remember I will always love you no matter what you do. I am going to let you sleep now, but I will be right here by your side. Good night Stephie" He says kissing her lips lightly as he cuddles up to her and goes to sleep.
