The Aftermath of the Second Breaking Point

"There is my beautiful bride." Fen says grabbing Ana by the waist and kissing her as he sees her on the dance floor.

"I thought you had left me." He teases her.

Ana makes a face. "No, I'm still here. I'm still yours." She looks into his eyes and smiles.

"Good, because I don't want to lose you." Fen says looking into her eyes. They smile at each other and they kiss again, this time a bit longer.

"Ooh, Babe." Ana says putting her hand on his face. "When you kiss like that…"

"Is it time for this shindig, to be over yet, because I want to take you upstairs and…" Fen begins.

"Fen!" Ana exclaims aloud. "We have to wait until this reception is over." She reminds him again.

"Well, is about to be over?" He asks. He takes her hand and kisses it. "You know what I want."

Ana eyes widens and then she laughs again. "Fen, behave." She cautions him laughing.

"Is that going to be a theme in our marriage, you telling me to behave?" Fen jokes.

"Maybe, if you say stuff in public that maybe you shouldn't." Ana teases him.

"Like I said I can't help how, I feel. I'm in love."

Ana reaches out and caresses his face. "Yeah me too." They gaze into each other's eyes and then talk for a little bit more. While they are talking Mattie comes up to them.

"Hey guys, have you seen Mom?" Mattie asks.

Fen looks at Ana. "Didn't she head with you to the ladies room's a few minutes ago?" He asks.

Ana nods and looks around for Lily. "Yeah she did. She said she just needed to freshen up a bit and she would be right behind me, but…" Ana looks around again. "I don't see her."

Mattie nods. "Yeah, I don't see her. Hmmm..."

"Maybe she had to take a call or something?" Ana suggests.

"Maybe. Okay." Mattie touches Ana's arm. "She should show up shortly." Mattie guesses. "And I think I will take a trip to the ladies' room as well." Mattie inform Ana and Fen. She smiles at them and heads to the ladies bathroom. She opens the door and steps inside and gasps when she sees Lily. Lily was still unconscious.

"Mom!" Mattie exclaims as she sees her mother knocked out and bleeding. She touches her hair and her face trying to see if she would awaken. Mom wake up!" She exclaims but Lily still doesn't come to.

"Mom what happened?" She asks. Mattie starts to panic even more and looks around. "Help!" She yells. She then remembers that Nate and Elena are at the wedding and rushes to get them.

"Help!" She cries out as she runs into the ballroom. She runs over to Nate who was talking to a guest.

"Nate!" She exclaims running to him.

"Mattie, what's wrong?" Nate asks concerned noticing how scared his young cousin looked.

"It's mom, she's laid out in the bathroom. I think she hit her head, or someone hit or her something. But she's unconscious and she's bleeding!" Mattie informs him.

Elena is nearby and overhears. Her and Nate look at each other. "Okay, take me to her." Nate says.

"I'm coming too." Elena interjects and the three rush off together.

Fen and Ana see them from across the room and wonder what is going on. "What is that about?" Ana wonders.

Fen shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know." He says also concerned. Ana looks at Fen. "I'm going to go see what's going on." She tells him.

"I will go with you." He offers. They head off with each other and sees the other three racing toward the bathroom.

"Whoa! Nate says when he sees Lily laid out. He immediately starts to attend to her, with Elena by his side.

Nate examines her quickly. "It looked like she was knocked in the head with something."

"It definitely looks like she was hit with a blunt object." Elena observes. They continue to attend to Lily and Nate calls 911 reporting what happened.

"Lily!" Ana exclaims shocked at seeing her laid out. She looks at Fen scared. "I don't know what happened. I was just talking to her. She was fine when I left her!" She exclaims worried.

Fen wraps his arm around her and pulls her close to him. "It's going to be okay." He promises her. "She's in good hands." He sees Mattie looking scared and also puts his arm around her. "It's going to be okay." He assures her. The paramedics show up and word spreads what has happened to Lily. They put her on the stretcher and Nate/Elena decide to ride with them to the hospital.

"What happened to mom!" Charlie exclaims as the news gets to him. Nick also shows up. "What happened?" He asks looking at everyone.

"Looks like Lily was hit in the head with something." Nate informs him. "She's suffered some trauma and is unconsciousness, but we're going to get her to the hospital and make sure she's taken care of."

"We're going too!" Mattie proclaims scared.

"Yeah, we're not going to leave mom." Charlie declares.

Nate nods understanding. "Okay, Elena and I were going to ride in the ambulance and you two…"

"I can drive them." Nick offers. "I will follow you guys." He puts his arms around the twins. "It's going to be alright guys. They all then head off.

Ana turns to Fen and puts her hand over her face, shaking. "Maybe we should follow them too." She says looking at him. "I don't understand how this happened, I don't… I was just with her, Fen…" She says tears welling up in her eyes.

Fen pulls her close to him. "I know." He tells her. "I don't know what happened either, but we will get to the bottom of it." He promises her. Devon then arrives, and he's informed of what's going on.

"I'm going to head off to the hospital." He says.

He then heads off to the hospital, while the nanny stays with Tommy. Ana and Fen look at each other worried and then Sophia, Jett and Harmony show up.

"We heard." Jett says. "You alright baby?" Harmony asks her.

"I'm shaken up." Ana admits to her. Harmony hugs her daughter and Jet puts his arms around the both of them.

"I don't even know what to do." Ana admits. "I feel like we should just head over too, but we still have the rest of the guests…"

"Well." Sophia interjects. "The reception is almost over. Maybe you can wrap up things up and thank everyone for coming." Sophia suggests. "Or I could do it." Sophia offers. "And then once we get that squared away, we can head over to the hospital too."

Ana nods. "Thank you, but I guess, I will help end the reception. It is my wedding after all."

"I will help you babe." Fen says. They walk away and end up wrapping up their reception. The guests are understanding and grateful for the good time and many of them send their well wishes for Lily. Then, Ana, Fen, Sophia, Jett and Harmony also head over to the hospital. On the drive there, Ana continues to feel shaken up and also a bit guilty. She felt guilty for leaving Lily in the bathroom by herself and guilty that she was occupied about thinking about her wedding night when Lily was being attacked. Fen looks over at his wife and is a bit concerned. He reaches out and squeezes her hand and she's look at him and squeezes it back sighing.

They head to the hospital where they are greeted by everyone.

"How is she?" Ana asks concerned.

"Elena and I talked to the doctor." Nate informs her. "Lily is still unconscious."

"That's bad." Ana says worried. "I mean usually people get knocked out, it's only for a few minutes. Lily has been unconscious at least over an hour now." She looks at Nate and Elena worried. "How long can she be like this; I mean how long can she go like this before..."

"An unconscious state after a head trauma can last anywhere from a few minutes to sometimes a few hours." Elena interjects. "The doctors have gotten Lily stabilized and are monitoring her situation."

Nate then gives Ana and everyone a serious look. "There was some swelling in Lily's brain…" Nate tells her…

"Oh, my…" Ana exclaims, a very scared expression on her face.

"But that can be normal." Elena adds trying to calm her. "Sometimes after injuries some swelling does happen, but it can go down."

"And if it doesn't?" Jett asks concerned.

"Then the doctors will do everything they can to help her." Nate informs him. "But she is in good hands." He assures everyone. "This is one of the best hospitals in the state". He informs them. "We are fortunate that it wasn't too far from the resort." He puts his hands together. "Right now, the doctors are monitoring things and see if she will gain consciousness, within the next few hours." He informs them. "The next few hours are going to be critical." He informs them. "Unconsciousness beyond six hours could be an indicator of a very severe injury."

"Could mom go into a coma?" Charlie asks.

Nate sighs. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that." He says. He goes over and puts his hand on Charlie's shoulder. "But rest assured Charlie, the doctors will do everything to help your mother."

"And I won't spare any expense to help her." Devon promises Charlie and Mattie. "I promise you that." He then frowns deeply. "But I just don't understand how this happened. I mean the doctor says it looks like Lily was hit with something… I mean, who would do this… We've got to get to the bottom of this."

"Yes, everything will sort itself out son." Jett says trying to calm everyone. "Though, right now the most important thing is to be there for Lily." Devon nods and puts his arms around Charlie and Mattie.

Ana takes a breath very upset by what has happened. She couldn't believe that this had happened. This morning she had gotten up very excited for her wedding and now here she was hoping and praying that Lily didn't slip into a coma, or worse. Fen sees how upset his wife is and tries to comfort her.

"Are you okay, Ana?" He asks putting his hands on her shoulders.

She shakes her head. "I'm scared Fen." She confesses to him. "And I feel so guilty, I mean I left her. I should have stayed with her."

"You didn't know some creep was hanging around with something ready to bash her over the head with." Fen says trying to comfort her. He then rubs her arms. "I hate that this happened to Lily, and I hope they catch who did it." He then closes his eyes for a moment realizing something. "And I think goodness, they didn't hurt or target you." He kisses her forehead. "Like I said if something ever happened to you…" He hugs her. They hug for a bit more and then Fen pulls away. "I'm going to go get some coffee." He informs her. "You want something?"

Ana shakes her head. "Not right now." She tells him. He nods and goes and gets the drink.

Sophia comes over to Ana and looks at her with concern. "Maybe you should have taken that coffee. You still look a bit shaken up." She tells her.

Ana sighs. "I can't help it, Sophia." She explains. "Someone attacked Lily at my wedding. I mean I was just talking to her; we were joking about Fen and mine's Wedding night…" Her voice trails off as Sophia listens to her. "And then she said she needed to freshen up a bit more and I left her…" She looks up at Sophia a sad and guilty expression on her face. "I shouldn't have left her." She bemoans.

"I should have stayed with her. Especially since Fen is a celebrity and maybe it was a crazy fan that wanted to get close to him or something." Ana sighs deeply getting more upset. "Maybe we should have beefed up security more at this wedding, considering how famous he's gotten." She shakes her head. "Maybe I should have been more concerned about those things instead of laughing & joking about getting away to have romantic time with Fen, when Lily was getting her head bashed in…" Ana shakes her head upset with herself. "That's where my mind was." She confesses upset with herself. "I was putting my love life above her safety and I feel so…"

"Hold up." Sophia says holding up her hand. "Now that's what you're not going to do." She cautions Ana.

"What do you mean?" Ana asks upset.

"I'm not about to let you sit up here and blame yourself for what happened to Lily." Sophia responds to her. "No ma'am." She shakes her head. "You're not going to do that."

"But Sophia…"

"Girl, no." Sophia states firmly. She then reaches out and touches Ana arm. "You did nothing wrong, Ana." She assures her. "It's your wedding today, you should have been thinking about spending time with your own husband." Sophia then gives her a look. "And I would have been concerned if you weren't." She jokes.

"Sophia…"

"You did nothing wrong." Sophia repeats. "You had no idea some looney tune would attack Lily. No one did." She surmises.

"But I just."

"Not your fault." Sophia repeats. "And Lily would not want you blaming yourself. You know that." Ana nods as she thinks about Sophia's words.

"And neither would your husband." Sophia says as Fen approaches them with two cups of coffee in his hand.

"I know you said, you didn't want any coffee, but I know that when you get nervous, you like to have it." Fen says handing Ana a cup. "And I put extra cream in it, just the way you like it." He tells her.

Ana nods and then gives him a weary smile. "Yes, I actually could use the coffee." She tells him gratefully.

"Right, I know what you need." He tells her. They smile at each other for a moment and then a somber look returns to Ana face and they go sit down in the waiting area with the rest of their family.

"Dad says he's jumping on a flight now." Charlie says reading a text from Cane.

"I told him we don't know just how serious mom's condition is yet, but he insists, he's coming." Charlie tells everyone. Everyone talks for a bit more and continues to wait on news on Lily. Things become quiet and that hangs over the room. Sophia then makes a suggestion.

"I think we should pray for Lily." She tells him everyone. She looks around the room. "Who is with me?" She asks. Everyone nods and stands up and grabs each other's hands. Sophia leads them in prayer.

"And as they say heavenly father no weapon formed against us shall prosper and we pray that Lily makes a full recovery, lord Jesus…" She says during the prayer and then continues.

"Amen!" Everyone says when she is done, and they sit down continuing to wait on news about Lily.
