--Three--

They were all sitting around in the den talking to Carly more. She was telling them how good the kids were doing in school, how she was told that the kids were born a month early prematurely, and how she had ascended while in the coma, and lots of other things.

All of a sudden, Carly grabbed onto her head falling on the floor screaming in pain.

Everyone was flipping out trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

Reid went up to her and said "Bella… what's wrong?"

She heard a voice in her head that said "After all I have done for you giving you a better life, this is how you repay me? Good job trying to kill me, but it didn't work. You will have to do better than that."

"No… leave me alone!" she screamed again.

"You know… once Nicole has my baby and I am fully healed, I am coming after you. You and my son will be staying with me."

"No! Get out of my head!" she yelled.

"Oh and by the way, I knew the whole time you were faking it, Carly… until then, goodbye love."

After the voice had stopped, it took a little bit, but she finally calmed down. Tyler picked her up off of the floor, sat her next to him on the couch, and said "What's going on?"

"I heard his voice in my head." she said as she hugged her knees to her chest and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Who Carly?" asked Caleb.

"Chuck." she whispered wiping her face. "He's alive."

"How do you know?" asled Reid.

"I just heard his voice in my head."

"What did he say to you?" Caleb asked as he sat down next to her.

"He told me that I could of done a better job trying to kill him and that he is coming after me when Nicole has his baby, then he is taking us both."

"So she is pregnant then." said Kate.

"And he said that he knew the whole time that I was faking it, pretending to be Isabelle."

"Oh no… so basically he used you." said Caleb.

"Evidently, but I don't think he's after the twins other wise he would have said something… either way though, I want them safe."

"They can stay at my moms." Tyler offered.

She nodded and Caleb said "Until we figure out what is going on, Reid you need to act like everything is normal in front of Nicole. You can't break up with her yet."

"The hell I can't… watch me." he snapped.

"Regardless of what's happening… Nicole is still our friend and we need to make her think nothing is wrong."

"Fine… whatever." Reid said throwing his arms up in defeat, plopping down on a chair.

"And you need to also make Nicole think there is nothing going on between you and Carly. I know she's going to ask who she is, since we didn't give her much explianation earlier."

Reid glared at Caleb and said "Anthing else?"

"She can't know that the twins are yours. We'll make up a story saying that Carly up and left eight years ago or something."

"You never talked about me in front of her?" asked Carly.

"Nope. She knows nothing… after you left the church, she kind of figured you and Reid were together at one time, but she didn't really say much… and when Reid fainted Nicole, Kate, and Sarah helped him to one of the seats. Luckily she wasn't paying attention and heard Tyler saying how much the twins look like Reid."

"I didn't even say it that loud anyway." said Tyler.

"Oh… okay." she sat there thinking for a minute, then looked at Caleb. "What if Chuck gets a hold of Nicole trying to get information out of her about us?"

"I never thought of that… what do we do?" he said scratching his head.

"Ignore her." said Reid.

"And if that doesn't work, Reid?"

"I don't know, but I am down with ignoring her… she cheated on me, remember? And now, she's having that Satan spawn… so eff her." he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well… Cal is right. I've been around Chuck long enough to know how he thinks and If he is in contact with Nicole, then we have to go on like everything is like normal." said Carly.

"Awe… do I have to?" Reid whined.

Caleb nodded his head and said "Yes, Reid… what are you three?"

Reid flipped him off, then Lily came downstairs and said "Mommy?"

"Yes, baby?"

She walked up to her and said "Jacob is being mean to me."

"What's he doing?"

"He pushed me, I fell, and he made my arm bleed."

Before Carly could respond, Reid held his hand out and said "If you come with me Lily, I can put a bandaid on it for you."

Lily kind of hesitated. She looked at her mom for approval. Carly nodded letting her know it was okay, then Lily grabbed Reid's hand and went with him into the bathroom.

He picked her up and sat her on the counter next to the sink, then looked for a first aid kit.

"Are you the Reid my mom would dream about?" she asked.

"She had dreams about me?"

"Yeah… she told me about them. But she'd only have them when my daddy went out of town."

It broke Reid's heart hearing his daughter calling someone else other than him her daddy. "Oh really?" he said cleaning her wound.

"Yeah… how do you know my Mommy?"

"Me and your mommy knew each other before you were born, your late grandpa Jack set us up to meet."

"You've lost me… I thought my grandpa died when mommy was my age?"

Reid looked at her funny and said "Did your dad tell you this?"

"Yeah."

"Hmm… what else did he tell you?"

"He's said even though mommy is not herself, he still loves her. He said that my grandma and grandpa both died when she was a little girl and he told me two secrets."

He looked up at her from putting the bandaid on her arm and said "I am the best at keeping secrets, you can tell me."

"Okay, the first one is mommy's name isn't Isabelle… it's Carly."

"Yes it is... and the other secret?"

"My daddy isn't my daddy… he told me." she looked down.

"Did he say who your daddy was?"

She looked up at Reid and said "You're my daddy."

Reid was speechless, he nodded, and said "Yes, I am your daddy."

Lily pulled him into her little arms giving him a hug and said "I knew it!"

Reid just had tears falling down his cheeks, hearing his little girl calling him daddy, it warmed his heart. "Hey… We'll keep this our little secret, okay Lily?"

"Okay Daddy." she smiled at him.

"Come on… lets go back in there." he said as he lifted her up and carried her into the den.

"Are you okay now, Lily?" asked Carly.

Reid put her down and sat in his chair as she ran over to Carly and said "Yeah, Mommy." she looked at Reid and smiled then looked back at her mom. "Reid made it feel better."

"Cool… tell him thank you and go and play with your brother. Tell him to be nice to you."

"Okay… can I take a nap instead?"

"Yeah."

Lily ran up to Reid in his arms giving him a hug and whispered in his ear "Thank you, Daddy."

"Your welcome Lily."

Then Lily ran upstairs into one of the rooms and took a nap.

Carly looked at Reid weird and said "What was that about?"

"She was thanking me for putting on her bandaid." he said looking away.

"I'm hungry guys… I'll order some pizza." said Kate grabbing the phone.
