Labor Of Love
Written by Sharon and Angels
Nora was sobbing as she held her little girl in her arms. Bo could see the look of panic in her eyes and he came rushing to her side.
"Our baby isn't breathing Bo…she's not…" She was hysterical and Bo kissed her hair as he attempted to reassure her.
"It will be okay sweetheart…we're not going to lose our baby. Hold her head okay…can you do that for me…?
She nodded her head between tears as Bo gently gave their little girl CPR…It was the longest few minutes of their life but eventually she was breathing again. "Oh God, I thought…I thought…" She fell into her husband's arms as they held their daughter together.
"She's alive sweetheart…she's alive…she's just cold. I think we need to see about getting her warmed up. "
Nora nodded her head and together they walked to the bathroom. They were relieved to hear their little girl's cries as Bo filled the tub with warm water. After giving her a bath, they found some flannel material in the cupboard and wrapped her tiny body in the warm material. Bo was about to hand her their child to breastfeed when he noticed that something was wrong. Bo lay their baby down on one side of the bed as he went to his wife.
"Baby what is it…what's wrong?"
The color drained from her face and she started turning blue…For the first time since their ordeal, Bo truly started to panic.

"Okay, I will call Anna," John said to Matthew and Rachel as he pulled out his cell phone and dialed her number. He explained the situation to her and she said she would take care of it and they would find his friends. John, Rachel and Matthew were pacing the floors, waiting to see if Anna was able to contact any of her former associates and it wasn't until a half hour later that they finally heard.
"What have you got for me Anna?"
"I was able to make contact with my ex husband Robert Scorpio. He's on his way to Llanview now to talk with you. He's going to need everything you can tell him in order to find your friends…and I'm going with him…You helped me once John so I am treating this as a personal favor…Robert and I work better as a team. We'll be there as soon as possible."
"Thanks Anna."
"Don't mention it."
He hung up the phone and turned to Matthew and Rachel. "Anna and her ex- husband Robert are on their way here right now. They need as much information as possible. That's how we'll find your parent's."
"Then we wait…and we pray," Rachel said.
"That might not be a bad idea," John said as they headed for the chapel to pray.

Nora had collapsed and was having trouble breathing. Her breathing was shallow as Bo lifted her into his arms. His wounds hurt from his surgery, but he had to take care of Nora and their baby daughter before he could rest.
He lay Nora down gently on the bed beside their little girl, then piled the woman he loved with blankets. "I have to get you warm again," he said as he kissed Nora's brow. He tucked the baby in beside her mother and opened the jacket that Nora was wearing so the little one could nurse. Although Nora was unconscious, their infant daughter got her meal.
After the baby had fed and had fallen asleep, Bo tucked the blankets around the three of them and drifted off to sleep. He was exhausted and could not stay awake another minute. His last conscious thought before settling into oblivion was that he hoped that they would all survive and that someone would find them very soon.

Anna Devane and Robert Scorpio arrived in Llanview, Pennsylvania at almost the same time. They met at the police station as they looked around for John. "He went to the chapel to pray," Officer Fish informed them.
"Alright," said Robert. "Anna and I need to go into his office and check up on a lead."
Fish showed Anna and Robert into John's office as Robert logged into the World Security Bureau's top secret website using John's computer. There he saw it in black and white.
"John's friends are in terrible danger. An old enemy is closing in on them," Robert warned.
"What are you talking about, Robert?" Anna questioned.
Just then, Rachel and Matthew entered John's office accompanied by John. "Rachel and Matthew, I'd like you to meet my friends, Anna Devane and Robert Scorpio," John introduced.
"This is Matthew Buchanan, the son of my missing friends... and this is his sister, Rachel," John explained.
"Nice to meet you," Anna said as she gave Rachel and Matthew a smile.
"Thank you for coming to help. Have you found any leads on my parents yet?" Matthew asked.
"I am afraid I have disturbing news," Robert explained. "According to the WSB website, an old enemy of your mother's is also searching for her as we speak."
Rachel's eyes widened in fear and disbelief. "An old enemy? Ohhh my God! Who's looking for my mom?"

"According to this website, a man named Colin Macgiver is looking for your mother," Robert said.
"But that's impossible," Rachel said. "He's dead."
"Mom killed him in self defense," Matthew added.
"Then that makes him twice as dangerous," Anna added. "I know from personal experience what it is like to have a man obsessed with you…and from everything I've read about the man, I'm assuming that's what this is."
"He kidnapped her twice," Rachel said. "Drugged her and tried to rape her when she wouldn't return his feelings. He almost destroyed her life."
"I know what that feels like," Anna said. "That's why we need to find them quickly. "
"Anna's right," Robert said. "If we don't figure out where they are…well things could turn bad very fast."
"So what do we do," Matthew asked?
"First we need to figure out how bad your parents were injured. Your mother just had a baby and there is no sign of automobiles so they had to be moving by foot…if they were injured, they couldn't have gotten far," Robert said.
"I'll call the hospitals," Anna continued.
Rachel and Matthew clung to each other and prayed for a miracle as Anna and Robert desperately tried to track down their parents before a madman did…since everyone believed he was dead, there was much more danger involved. They would have to get lucky…and fast.

Bo had woken up often throughout the night because he was worried about Nora and their daughter. He was content to watch his little girl sleep and pray that when morning came, Nora would wake up. He managed to get their daughter warm and fed when the sun rose and when he realized that Nora still wasn't waking, he picked her up and gently laid her in a warm bath. He washed her hair and cleansed her body as he prayed the heat would warm her up. With their daughter asleep in the next room, he climbed in the tub with her and held her in his arms…
"Baby, you got to wake up now…we need you."
She began to come out of her trance when she felt his hands on her thighs as he gently splashed warm water over her. "Bo," she whispered weakly?
"Oh thank God…you had me worried there for a while…welcome back sleeping beauty."
"I'm…I'm sorry Bo…I guess I was just…Is our daughter okay?"
"She's fine. She's sleeping now. I got her warm and fed."
"You're a prince…you took care of her when I couldn't."
"Yes…and now I am going to take care of you…do you know how long it's been since I could touch you…?"
"Too long…way too long…"
She turned in his arms and pressed her lips over his…"Touch me Bo…touch me and remind me what it feels like to be loved by you…I've missed you so much."
"Words don't describe adequately how much I have and do ache for you…"
She smiled as she slipped into his arms…she shifted her hips as she lay her hands on his shoulders and watched as he lovingly thrust his desire into her…"How does that feel baby…do you like it when…"
"Less talking…more loving," she said as she kissed him.
They used the bathtub as a bed as they twisted together in passion. Their screams of pleasure were muffled in each other as they buried themselves inside each other. When they finally tired from the lovemaking, they dried each other off with the towels and wrapped their arms around each other. Bo nibbled on her earlobe as she sighed. "You need to stop doing that sweetheart…we have a child in the other room. "
"I can't help it…you turn me on immensely when you look at me that way…"
"Okay…just one more time," she whispered huskily, as he lifted her onto the counter and drew her passionately into his arms. They made love in every corner of the bathroom as their daughter slept. Then they walked to the bed and lay down next to her with joined hands…"I think it's time for us to name her," Nora said.
"You have any ideas," Bo asked?
"Under the circumstances, I think I do," Nora said. "How does Justice Riley Buchanan sound? It means bravery and courage…"
"I love it…just like I love you…and our family…welcome to the world Justice, "he said as he and Nora kissed their daughter and then each other.
