C.C. couldn't believe what Maxwell was doing to Fran. And to consult Sarah's parents! My god! She gently led Fran back into her hotel room, and stayed by her side until she fell asleep.
Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her say, "You're a good friend to her." Niles wrapped his arms around her midsection. She turned towards him and nodded.
"Thankyou...........God Niles I'm so worried about her!" she said and fell into his embrace. She pressed her face to his chest and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. She stayed calm, and he gently rocked her. He led her to her room and tucked her into bed. He climbed in beside her and but his arm protectively over her. He held her tense body tight to him and she fell asleep feeling loved and sheltered from all the world. About two in the morning C.C. heard a beautiful voice coming from outside. She walked onto the patio. She saw Fran standing by the hotel pool outside singing:

I'm standing on the bridge

I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here
By now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here?
I know
Cause nothin's going right
And everythings a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand,
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are
But I
I'm with you
I'm with you

C.C. was right behind Fran as she sang the last line of the song. C.C. touched her shoulder. Fran turned around. "Oh C.C." she said, and fell into her friends arms once more, "I don't want to lose them! My babies! My babies........My babies......M-my B-babies.....Oh god!" Fran was now sobbing. C.C. felt so guilty, because all she could do was hold her.

Note: I AM SO SORRY for the long wait...I have been sooo busy this week....and I'll get the next chapter up as soon as possible
