Chapter 5: Trapped

Dana was pacing back and forth in the room and felt her heart hammering against her chest as she listened to Ben and Mark outside of the door. "I say we have some fun with her," Ben insisted.

"Hey, you heard Dan, leave her be," Mark reminded.

"I don't know how much longer I can stand having a pretty, blonde doctor in that room and I can't even touch her."

"You know what Dan will do."

"Why are we even listening to him?"

"Because he's got a gun and we don't."

"There's another thing that I hate."

Dana bit her lip as she looked around to see if there was a way out. She had their routine figured out. Most of the time it was just Mark keeping an eye to see if she would come out, but she figured that Ben was trying to get Mark to leave so he could try to violate her again. She played with the ring on her neck again and she sat down on the bed.

(Flashback)

Dana bit her lip as she looked at the pregnancy test in her hands. "No, no, no," she sobbed. She placed her hand over her face and cried. She sat down on the side of the bathtub and cried.

"Dana?" Ryan called.

Dana didn't look up as her big brother came in. "Dana, what's wrong?" He asked. She looked at him with tear-filled eyes.

"I'm pregnant," she replied.

Ryan stood there staring at her. "I'm pregnant and I'm losing Carter forever," she sobbed. Ryan kneeled in front of her and hugged her. She buried her head into his shoulder and let out a sob. "What am I going to do?" She sobbed.

"Why don't you tell Carter?" He suggested.

"No!" She objected.

Dana sat back. "No, no! Carter can't know," she answered.

"Dana he's the father," he reminded.

"I know, I know, but Carter's going to be moving on with his life. I don't want him to be tied down."

"But Dana…"

"He can't know about this baby, Ryan."

Ryan sighed and nodded his head slowly. "Okay," he answered.

(End Flashback)

Dana hadn't realized she was crying until she felt the tears on her face. She drew her knees up to her chest and let out a small sob. "I want my baby," she whispered.

(Flashback)

"Push, Dana," the doctor told her. Dana shook her head with a death grip on Ryan's hand.

"I can't, I can't push anymore," she whimpered.

"Yes you can, just one really big push, Dana," Ryan answered.

Dana let out a sob and shook her head. "I can't," she repeated. The doctor sighed.

"Dana, you're so close, the head's crowned," he told her.

Dana bit her lip and tears fell down her face. "You can do this," Ryan assured her. Dana took a deep breath and she pushed as hard as she could.

Five minutes later, the sound of the baby's screams filled the room. "And it's a girl," the doctor informed. Dana let out a small sob. Ryan smiled as he looked at his niece while his sister held her for the first time.

"She's so beautiful," Dana commented with a small sob.

She stroked the baby's face with a sad smile. "You have your daddy's eyes," she murmured. Tears fell down her face as she looked at her baby girl. "Your daddy's eyes…" she trailed off. Dana felt a lump rise in her throat. "Carter…" she whispered.

"She needs a name," Ryan commented.

Dana snapped out of her daydream and she let out a small sigh. "Megan…Megan Lisa Mitchell-Grayson," she answered.

"Long name," the doctor commented.

"Shut up, Jack," Dana muttered.

Dana pressed her forehead against her daughter's. "I'm going to be the best mommy ever," she murmured.

(End Flashback)

Dana wrapped her arms around herself as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. "The woman's got a kid, Ben. Besides, Dan said we're going to keep our bargain with Grayson and let her go once we get the money," Mark pointed out.

"She can identify us," Ben snapped.

"She can identify you. Dan and I have kept our faces covered."

Dana bit her lip and closed her eyes. "Besides, we don't mess with our hostages," Mark added.

"You and Dan don't," Ben corrected.

"We're just in this for the money, we're not killing anybody."

"We follow by Dan's rules I know."

"The only time we kill somebody is if they're messing up our plans."

Dana felt her heart stop. "The plan was. We kidnap the pretty, blonde doctor. Ask money for her return, and then we give her back to Grayson," Mark reminded.

"I don't need it spelt out for me," Ben snapped.

"Then you also know that you don't rape her."

Dana kept listening until she fell asleep.
