Part 8

Erica waited a few seconds to see if Maggie was still on the other end, but after a minute she hung up the phone and slipped it into her back pocket she wasn't going to let Maggie weasel her way back into Bianca's life now…she'd just have to take care of Ms. Stone when she arrived…if she ever did. Erica looked back at Bianca and smiled as she saw her throw her head back in laughter at something Josh had just said with Reggie. This was her family and she'd be dammed if she let Maggie ruin that. Now…where on Earth was Kendall?

"You…!" Kendall gasped.

Kendall tried to slam the door but the man standing outside of it caught the door. Kendall looked at Greg Madden and stepped further into the house. She didn't find Greg's look a comforting one. Kendall looked around the living room back and forth before she looked back at Greg and watched him close the door. Kendall stared at Greg and tried to keep calm but was quickly losing that battle.

Kendall had dropped Greg after he tried to convince her to give him the baby for adoption. Greenlee had staid and they were going to raise this little boy as their own and Greg wasn't going to be any part of that. Kendall had watched Greg's eyes when she told him that she no longer needed his help in any part of her life, and what she saw scared her. IT had been a very good thing that she had come with Aidan, Greenlee and Erin. Ryan…well Ryan wasn't going to be this child's father figure, Greenlee and Kendall both agreed on that. Ryan could be in their son's life but he would not be told Ryan was his father, because they didn't even know if this child was Ryan's son. The problem was they only knew one thing about this little boy growing inside Kendall and that was he was going to be loved and taken care of by Greenlee and Kendall.

Kendall walked to the other side of the couch as Greg slowly took steps further into the room.

"What are you doing here?" Kendall asked as she eyed Greg.

"I came here to give you one last chance to reconsider." Greg said as he walked closer to Kendall.

"Reconsider?"

"About the baby…"

Kendall laughed. "That's never going to happen."

Greg looked at Kendall and moved around the coffee table and watched as Kendall slowly started to move back toward the front door, he eyed the brunette.

"You know you're making a mistake."

"A mistake? No…I think for the first time in a long time I'm doing the right thing!" Kendall said as she took off running toward the door, but her plan was thwarted by Madden.

Greg grabbed Kendall's hair and pulled her neck back slightly and with some effort Madden pulled a covering of a needle off with his teeth.

"You and your family took everything from me…. now I'm going to take everything from you!"

Greg was about to inject it into Kendall the brunette screamed and the door was kicked open knocking Greg on his ass and Kendall back toward the arm of the couch. Greg jumped up and was about to look toward the person who busted in to Kendall's apartment when they were discussing a very important matter but never got the chance. The figure at the door hit Greg over the head with something knocking the crazy doctor unconscious.

Greenlee looked up at Miranda and smiled. Bianca had handed Miranda to her almost an hour ago and she hadn't let anyone else take the little girl from her since then, except now. Greenlee felt like something was wrong…she looked up and saw Erica looking at her watch and then around the room.

"Kendall…." Greenlee whispered as she let Bianca take Miranda from her.

Bianca looked at Greenlee confused and then looked around and saw Erica looking around the room for someone. Bianca then realized why Greenlee had said something about Kendall.

Josh looked up at Erica and then over at Bianca, who had just handed him Miranda. Miranda was smiling and laughing and talking to him about things.

"Weren't you supposed to pick Kendall up, Greenlee?" Erica asked as she walked back into the small group.

Greenlee stood up and looked at her own watch. Greenlee shock her head no.

"Kendall wanted to drive here on her own…I told her I wasn't sure about the time I'd be done at Fusion…so she was going to come on her own." Greenlee said as she looked at Erica. "I'm going to pick her up…make sure everything's ok…"

Erica nodded and watched as Greenlee rushed out the doors. Bianca looked up at her mother and wondered how this could happen. How Erica Kane would entrust Greenlee Smyth with the responsibility of checking up on her daughter. Bianca smiled as she looked over at Josh and at Miranda, she knew a lot of things had changed and it seemed all had changed for the better. Now…for it to be her picture perfect all that was missing was Maggie standing behind her, the blonde's arms wrapped around her stomach. Bianca knew something was wrong…but she wasn't sure with who or where or how to stop this feeling.

Bianca wondered how she could feel as if so many things were wrong when everything right here was so right or almost perfectly so right.

"Mom….are you ok?" Josh asked as he looked up at Erica as he continued to let Miranda play with his hands.

"I'll be fine…I just have this horrible feeling that something's wrong."

Jack walked up to his wife and wrapped his arms around Erica. "Its all ok…Greenlee going to bring Kendall here and we're all going to faun over her and that stomach of hers." Jack said smiling.

There was a knock at the door and Erica smiled and rushed to the door smiling as she turned around to look at Jack.

"Of course you're right. Everything's going to be fi…." Erica opened the door and almost slammed it once she saw who was behind it.

"Oh…. now Erica is that anyway to treat family?"

"You're not family…"

"Oh…but I am…."

"What do you want Jeff?"

"To see my son."

Kendall looked up at Greg and tried to move away from him and looked down at the floor about ready to crawl away, she got dizzy and leaned her head up against the arm of the couch. Kendall went to look up again but before she did she was face to face with Greg Madden's face against her tile floor. Kendall screamed and tried to get away from Greg's…. she wasn't sure if he was alive…body.

"Kendall…. Kendall…are you ok?"

Kendall looked up into a face she loved so much.

"Kendall…. hang on I'm calling the police… You're going to be ok…hey…everything's going to be ok sis! I promise!"

Kendall felt a hand squeeze her shoulder and then felt air whoosh past her and she knew as her eyes closed that she was going to be ok…everything was going to be ok…. they (Spike and Her) just had to be. Madden couldn't do this to her, Madden was out cold against her floor and now so was she….
