Craig couldn't believe that everything in his life seem to be falling apart. He couldn't believe that he had lost Emma, his sweet Emma just as he had lost Kelsie. What was going to be next? Was he destined to never have someone?
He kicked the dirt in front of him, as he walked up the path to his front door. He had his head down so he didn't see her there sitting on the stairs waiting for him.
"How could you do it?" Kelsie yelled, as she stood up.
He was startled and jolting up his head at the sound of her voice, he wasn't expecting her to be here. He was confused by what she asked though. "What are you talking about?"
Standing up, "How could you tell Spinner that we kissed in the garage well I was still with Chris."
Coming towards her, "I never told him." Remembering the only one he told was Emma, had she betrayed him and told Spinner.
"Then explain to me how he knows."
Walking up the stairs, "I don't," he said rudely.
Getting in his face, "Don't give me that, because of you two Chris left me."
Laughing a little, and gloating, "Good for him, I wasn't sure he had it in him. I'm glad he has finally opened up his eyes to see you as the MANIPULIVE BITCH you are." In his heart, he really didn't think that, he just felt so hurt but her actions.
"How can you be so cruel? I loved him!" she said with tears rolling down her eyes.
Moving his head in a little, "Guess what, you don't always get the love you want." Pointing at himself, "Believe me, I know."
Believing that he was talking about her, "So you're still mad about that. I thought you got over that since you're with Emma."
"Well thanks to your lies, I lost Emma. So I guess we've both lost out and it was all of your doing."
"My doing! You know what I wish I never came back here to tell you that I was having your baby. I should have made everyone think that it was Chris's then I wouldn't have been in this big mess."
"Keeping more secrets wouldn't have been so hard for you; you seem to do it all the time. I wonder what else you're keeping from everyone," he taunted her.
"I can't believe I ever loved you," even though she didn't mean it because without him she wouldn't be having her daughter. "Now without Chris, who's going to help me take care of my daughter?"
"Well maybe her own father," he snapped wanting to be in her life.
After all, he had said to her she felt he didn't deserve it. Getting into his face, "I'm not letting you anywhere near her, when you treat me this way. I hope this was all worth losing your daughter over," she screamed.
"I've had enough of you," he yelled as he stomped through his front door.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," she shrieked, crouching down in pain, holding her stomach.
Craig spun around at the sound of her scream, to only to see Kelsie, falling backward down the stairs, landing on her back on the ground.
He ran to her side, and began to really regret what had just happened between them. They both hadn't been thinking about their daughter. He knelt down beside her, touching her face, "Kels wake up. You have to be okay."
He tapped her on the face slightly, but it didn't seem to be working. She still laid there unconscious. He needed to get her to the hospital, what if there was something very wrong with the baby or even her. "Joey…Joey…Joey…" he kept on hollering until he finally came running out.
Joey came out to see Craig kneeling beside Kelsie, and grew with great concern, "What happened to her?"
"She fell down the stairs backwards, we need an ambulance," he said in a panic.
"Okay, I'll go call right now," running into the kitchen to grab the phone.
Karen was sitting in the kitchen with her husband, Nick reading a paper. "Nick, do you think that the fight with Kelsie and Chris was serious?" They didn't really know what the fight was actually about.
Looking at his wife, "No, they're probably real stressed with the baby being so near, and having to deal with Craig."
"I hope you're right, the last thing she needs right now is to have to raise a baby by herself in a town by herself."
"Kelsie…." he began.
The phone began to ring; Karen answered it hoping that it was Kelsie, maybe then they could get some answers. "Hello."
"Hi, this is Craig."
"If you're wanting to yell at my daughter more, than you can forget it."
"No, no, it's not that. Kelsie is right here. We're on our way to the hospital."
Karen's legs began to shake; she had to hold on to the counter top to keep her from falling. "What, did she go in labor?"
"No, she fell backwards down the stairs when she began having pains. But I have to go, meet us at the hospital," he pressed end before she was able to say anything more.
"Karen, what's wrong, you don't look so well," he began to worry what she may tell him.
"Kelsie's been rushed to the hospital," she cried.
His face went blank, quickly getting off his seat, "Let's get going then."
"We need to tell the boys to go look for Chris, he needs to be told. Can't she have anything go right when she's pregnant?"
"I know what you mean. Why don't you do that; I'll get the car started."
Craig road in the back of the ambulance with Kelsie, he began to wishing that he had just understood why she didn't tell him instead of saying all those cruel things to her. He felt like this was his entire fault. A tear rolled down his cheek, dropping on her face. If anything happened to his daughter, he would never forgive himself.
He knew that stress was the cause of her early labor last time; he shouldn't have ever made her mad. He hit himself in the forehead, "I'm so stupid."
Looking at the paramedic, "What's wrong? Are they going to be okay?"
"I'm not sure; you'll just have to wait until the doctors have checked her."
Just as Jimmy and Marco were heading down the stairs as Chris walked through the front door, slamming the door behind him.
"We were just headed out to find you," Jimmy said as he noticed Chris.
"Well I'm just here to pick up my stuff. I'm going to go catch a plane back to Vancouver," he said brushing past them.
Grabbing his arm, "You can't go something's happened," Marco replied.
"Whatever it is, I don't really care. I just can't be around Kelsie," walking up the stairs. Thinking how this place only seemed to bring pain.
"What are you going to do when you get back…you share a house," Jimmy said.
"I'm moving out. I'm going to move in with a friend of mine for the time being, until I can get something on campus."
"Chris," taking a deep breath, "Kelsie's been rushed to the hospital," Marco finally blurted out; since it seemed like Jimmy was never going to get to doing it.
Chris stopped right in his tracks, slowly turning around. "What are you talking about?" in shock at what he had been just told. All he thought was this couldn't be happening to her again.
"Kelsie thought that Craig told Spinner about the kiss, and she went to go after him. While she was there she began to have pains, and fell backwards down the stairs."
His face dropped, he began to feel responsible for this. He had yelled at her, then walking out on her. She would have never gone there is he hadn't left. "Are they going to be alright," he asked as a tear fell from his eye.
"I don't know we haven't heard anything from the hospital since her parents left."
"Tell me that Spinner's not here any more," he pleaded, not really wanting to see his face right now, otherwise he might do something stupid.
"Don't worry he left a long while ago…gloating."
"I wish he never come along, and then I would have yelled at Kelsie…"
Jimmy put his hand on his arm, "Chris it isn't your fault, no one could have predicted this."
"I can't help it. I feel so responsible for this. I mean I'm supposed to take care of her, not hurt her." This wasn't how you're supposed to treat someone that you say that you love he thought.
Putting his arm around his shoulder, "Why don't we get you to the hospital?"
"Good idea," he said walking back down the stairs.
Paige stomped into The Dot, as Spinner was on the other side of the counter working. She had a look on a face that could kill. If she could right now she would strangle him herself with her bare hands, but she knew that wouldn't solve anything.
"Gavin Mason, we need to talk NOW!" she bellowed.
"What's your problem now!" annoyed by her presence while he was working.
"Did you know that Kelsie's in the hospital because of YOU?"
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to her," wondering how he could be to blame.
"If you hadn't decided to get back at her, she wouldn't have gone to Craig's and fall backwards off his porch stairs."
"Well that's not good, but how's that my problem."
"What happen to the Gavin I use to know? The one that was caring," surprised by his attitude.
"Nothing happen to him, I'm still the same guy."
"No you're not; my Gavin would never have acted this way. Can't you give her a break; it's not as if she purposely hurt Craig. She had to follow her heart."
"Well Craig was crushed by it."
"He seemed to get over that, he ended up with Emma. And they're happy together." She began to realize that this had to do with something more, "I've finally got why this bugs you so much."
"And what was your conclusion?"
"You're just mad that she never was yours. She's the one girl you wanted so badly and couldn't get."
Not looking at her straight in the eyes, "That's not true."
"Then why can't you look into my eyes when you said that. Messing up her life isn't going to make you feel better. You need to move on from it. Maybe one day she'll even forgive you for opening a can of worms."
He hated how Paige still could read him like a book. "Fine you're right. I tried to get over it, but I just couldn't. Just like Craig hasn't totally gotten over her, he likes to admit he has, but there's just something about her that you can't seem to forget. She's like a drug."
