"Sean, she's so hot, I'm scared. I think we should take her to the Emergency room."

I will never forget the first night my little Kelly got sick; she was about ten weeks old. Sean and I were terrified. She was running a fever and throwing up all of my milk. One of the worst pains for a mother to see is her child in pain or danger and she not capable to do anything about it. Sean kept me calm; he always knew that Kelly was a fighter. She had it in her genetic make-up. I knew more at that moment than ever before that Sean was my rock and that I couldn't make it without him.

"I can't believe they won't let them see Mykel until they finish talking to this dumb social worker." Alex said annoyed as she threw herself into a chair next to Paige in the waiting room.

"It's procedure Alex. The hospital has to look out for the well being of the child first." Marco sighed as he stirred his cup of coffee. They had been in the doctor's office with one of his colleagues, Gina, for almost an hour. He knew that any child poisoning case was serious, but one that involved drugs was a hundred times worse. "I personally vouched for their character, and I have worked with Gina before. We did some work overseas." Marco sighed as he looked at his watch; he still couldn't believe that Craig was still on drugs and had told Sean about him and Ellie.

"Thanks for coming Paige," Alex said as she tried to get her mind off the situation at hand.

"I wouldn't let you be here without me." Paige smiled. "Look on the bright side at least they have Craig in custody."

"Big whoop," Jay chimed in as he walked over and sat on the other side of Alex. "He is rich; he'll make bail before midnight and that will be that."

"But he almost killed Mykel!" Liberty said angrily.

"As far as we know and the courts are concerned, it was an accident." Jay threw Paige an evil glance as he pulled Alex close to him. "Money talks, and he can hire a lawyer who could easily flip the whole situation on Sean and Ellie."

"Man what are we going to do?" Towerz said as he stood up. "We all know that Craig is trying to break-up Sean and Ellie, and Alex thinks he may be after Mykel too." Marco and Paige looked at each other concerned as they turned to Alex for answers.

"Remember how I told you Mykel was going through that whole monster thing and then she said some guy was taking her pictures at school? I really think it was Craig. Somehow she has seen him before, and he said something to make her not afraid of him." Alex said as she pulled up from Jay and explained the story.

"If that was the case, wouldn't she have been just as freaked when she saw Craig since she could identify him with the monster and the 'picture man'?" Liberty asked curiously.

"I don't know." Alex sighed frustrated as she stood up. "I know one thing; we got to figure out how to keep Craig out of the picture." Jay was about to comment just as Paige's daughter Alexis woke up and started crying.

"I'm sorry Alex," Paige said as she picked up her daughter and tried to soothe her. "She's just not used to being out of her crib at this hour. "Shhhh, Lexi, it's going to be ok, Mommy's here."

"I knew it; you are fucking obsessed." Jay yelled as he jumped up out of his seat causing everyone in the room to jump back and Alexis to cry harder. Liberty decided to take her daughter out of the room, Justice didn't need anymore damage for one night.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Paige asked angrily.

"Don't act like you don't know. You are a pathetic, fat, lesbian, whore. I mean you can't face the fact that Alex wants to be with me. You want her so bad that you even named your kid after her. I mean, how sad are you?" Jay was livid. He was sick of Alex going back and fourth between the two of them. He could see it in her eyes the moment Paige came in the hospital. He wasn't going to lose Alex and especially not to Paige.

"How dare you call me any of that!" Paige shouted over her screaming daughter. "At least, Alex knows about my child. I mean, it is so obvious that Amy's daughter is yours; she looks exactly like like you." Once again, silence filled the room as everyone looked at Jay even Alexis ceased her tantrum as she turned to look at Jay as if she knew that he was in for it.

"That is a lie! You don't know that! Amy is a whore; that girl could be anyone's daughter!" Alex angrily interjected

"What? Alex I can't believe you are defending him; the time matches up to when he last slept with her five years ago. I know you are thinking it." Paige practically cried. Why was Alex being so blind to all of this?

"I don't want to talk about this anymore; it's not true. I want to know what is going on with Kelly." Alex said as she walked over to the nurses station leaving Paige and Jay staring at each other viciously.

"Thank you again for your cooperation, Mr. Cameron, Mrs. Cameron. I hope you understand that these questions were just procedure. We don't take child poisoning cases lightly, and unfortunately, since the incident did happen at your home, we will have to undergo an investigation. Mr. Del Rossi has vouched for your character, and that works in your favor. The actual culprit is in custody, so I see no reason why you can't be with your daughter. We will probably be checking with your employers and randomly dropping by your home." Ellie and Sean waited impatiently as the social worker finished up her interrogation. All Ellie could think about was how her daughter needed her, and Sean had visions of Craig's murder flashing through his head. If Craig had never came back into the picture, he wouldn't be going through any of this pain with Ellie and certainly not with his daughter.

"Can I please see my daughter now?" Ellie begged while almost breaking down.

"Of course, I am all done here this evening." The social worker responded as she began to pack her briefcase. Ellie dried her eyes as she ran to her daughter's room. She was not prepared for what she saw. There was her little daughter laying helplessly and needing assistance in her breathing as the heart monitor beeped quietly.

"Oh my gosh, Kelly," Ellie barely got out as tears came rushing back to her. She bit her lip as she pulled a chair up to the side of her daughter's bed and took her little hand into her own. "I am so sorry that I didn't see Craig for what he was. I am so sorry I let him hurt you. I promise baby. I will never let him hurt you again." Ellie was so caught up in Mykel that she didn't even notice Sean walk in the door.

"I- um- just talked to the doctor. He said she is responding well to everything; she should be back home in a few days." Ellie took a deep breath as she nodded never taking her eyes off of her daughter. She still couldn't believe how fast her life had changed in what seemed like an instant.

"I should have told you about Craig." Ellie started still not looking up from Mykel.

"I just don't know what to say or think. I mean, you cheated on me, Ellie, with Craig. I just can't talk about this right now." Sean looked to his feet, and he once again tried to hold back tears. "I'll let you be with her for a while. I'll be at Towerz' house tonight." Sean bit his lip as he walked to his daughter's bedside and leaned over to give her a small kiss. "Get better, Baby. Daddy will never let anything like that happen to you again." Ellie shook her head as she looked up at Sean.

"I know this situation is complicated, but you don't have to go. She'll probably want both of us when she wakes up." Ellie hated this. All she wanted to do was go back in time and stop herself from ever even talking to Craig.

"Just call me if she does. I really need some space Elle; I just don't know if I can forgive you for this." It took everything in Ellie to not jam her daughter's I.V needle across her arm as Sean walked out the door. She wanted to run after him; she wanted to assure him that she had learned her lesson and that it would never happen again. But she couldn't. She had to be strong for her daughter. Their love had proved strong so many times before; it had created Kelly. Anything capable of making such a strong beautiful intelligent person could not be destroyed despite all the obstacles that got in the way.

Craig... Craig... She cheated on me with Craig? Was he better than me? Did she love him more than me? Does she want to be with him instead of me? Craig... Craig...

It was about 2:30 that morning, Sean was sitting on Towerz and Liberty's couch just trying to process everything that had just happened in the past 24 hours. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear Jay enter through the back door.

"Pretty lonely in the house by myself." Jay said as he walked up behind Sean.

"Huh, oh Jay what are you doing here man? Where's Alex?" Sean asked as he was ripped from his thoughts.

"She said she was going to stay at the hospital with Ellie tonight," Someone has to comfort her I guess.

"You say that like it should be me or something." Sean said as he got up and walked towards the kitchen. He needed a beer. No he needed a shot.

"I don't know man. I mean, she is your wife. Oh and I think that little girl is your daughter, but it may be some other random guy's." Jay said with a smirk as he walked into the kitchen behind Sean.

"That's not even funny, don't joke like that." Sean said as he opened Towerz' fridge and began to raid it.

"You are treating her like she is some kind of slut like you are holier than thou." Jay started not backing down. "She was with Craig one time and that was after you totally ignored her for almost a year after the shooting. How you live with someone but barely talk to them I will never know." Sean glared up at Jay, he hated to bring up the shooting and for good reason.

"Well who's fault was that anyway," He said to Jay angrily.

"Don't try and blame this on me. Ellie was always a better girl to you than you were a boyfriend to her is all I'm saying. I guess that whole night with Emma before you got locked up was some kind of karmatic payback." Jay said angrily.

"That was one time, Ellie and I had a fight-"

"Because she didn't want you to race Peter. She knew he was a twerp, and she was right." Jay said casually as he sat down at the kitchen table. "The whole time you were in jail, she didn't cheat on you once then. She would visit you, and you would try to push her away. All we had to hear about was you everyday. I mean, who turned you in anyway? Wasn't it Emma?" Jay shook his head as Sean angrily moved from his search of the fridge to the cabinets. He was certain Towerz had some alcohol somewhere.

"I don't need this from you of all people, the biggest hypocrite there is." Sean said to Jay angrily. "You wonder why Alex cheats on you with Paige; it's because you're an ass." Sean yelled just as Towerz walked into the kitchen.

"What are you guys doing? I mean, seriously, we are trying to sleep." Towerz said in an irritated voice.

"I'm so glad you're down here man," Sean said anxiously. "Where the hell did you hide the liquor?"

"Didn't hide it anywhere," Towerz said sadly, "You remember the first time Liberty was pregs? She would barely let me drink or smoke." Sean and Jay nodded. "Well this time she is way worse. She made me get rid of all our liquor. She won't even let me drive past the liquor store." Sean shook his head as he sat down at the table. He didn't have Ellie. He didn't have Kelly. He didn't even have alcohol to numb his pain. He knew that he loved Ellie and already missed her. But how would he ever be able to be with her again without visualizing what she did with Craig?

The doctor had come in around twelve to check on Mykel and said that she was doing just fine. She was breathing normally on her own again, and the oxygen was removed. Ellie never took her eyes off her once and was overjoyed when Mykel turned to look at her around 3:30 that morning.

"Mommy," Mykel said weakly.

"Hey baby," Ellie said as she kissed her daughter over and over. "You gave us a scare." Ellie smiled as she held her daughter's hand tight.

"Am I in the hops stickle?" Kelly asked as she looked around. All Ellie could do was nod. She was still relieved that her daughter was alright.

"Where's daddy?" Just as she predicted Sean was the first person their daughter was asking for once she realized what was going on. Ellie took an deep breath and smiled. Sean belonged there with them. It was a stupid childhood mistake, the whole incident with Craig. Ellie just had to figure out how to prove that to Sean. She looked at their daughter and smiled as she ran her fingers through her silky red hair. If it wasn't for her hair, Kelly would have looked just like a little Sean.

"Don't worry Baby. Mommy's going to get him back really soon."
