"Fuck you Brock! I won't sign the papers."

"Never mind. I'll sign them for you. As I said, I paid good money for these to go through. Now all you have to do is go along with the plan and no one gets hurt.""You can't really think that you can get away with this."

Brock signed the papers and placed them in an envelope. "Oh baby, I've already gotten away with more than you know." He pulled the gun from his waistband and held it to her head. "I'm going to untie you and we are going to walk up the stairs and out to my Land Rover and you aren't going to make a sound. Got it?"

She nodded. In her mind she was thinking of any way she could to get out of this but she knew that the baby's safety came first and Chris would agree. Brock untied the rope and she stood up. Her legs were weak and she almost fell but Brock wrapped an arm around her waist and as much as she wanted to resist she couldn't. Her mind kept thinking of Chris and the baby, as they were all that mattered. She took a couple of steps with Brock before he turned to pick up the envelope of papers and continued up the steps. Once they were safely in the kitchen of the cabin, Mel fell into one of the chairs. "Brock please, can I at least have some water or something before we go?"

"Fine." He reluctantly walked over to the refrigerator and reached for a bottle of water. When he turned around, he was met with Chris Benoit.

"You're going to die Lesnar!"

Brock laughed and pushed Chris out of the way. "You might as well give up Benoit. Mel doesn't want you anymore. Isn't that right babe?" He pulled the gun and pointed it at her.

"Don't do this Chris, he's crazy! Please get out of here now!" She screamed. Her heart was beating too fast and her breathing grew shallow. "Chris!"

That was the last thing she said before she passed out. Brock drew the gun on Chris and cocked it. "If you care about her you'll leave now." Brock warned.

"I do care about her which is why you'll have to kill me before I leave here without her."

"Have it your way." Brock fired the gun and missed. Dave and Shannon stormed in but not before Brock fired a second shot which hit Chris in the shoulder and he went down. Dave landed a shot with a golf club across Lesnars head as Shannon went over to check on Mel. He folded up his jacket and laid it under her head before moving on to Chris who was semi-conscious. Shannon pulled off his shirt and ripped a piece off to tie on Benoit's wound. Sirens could be heard in the distance as Dave tied the arms of Lesnar behind him and Shannon did all he could to keep Benoit conscious.

Autumn, Shannon, Molly and Dave all sat in the waiting room of the local hospital impatiently waiting for any news on Melony or Chris. No one really said much as the state of shock was settling over them. Brock, Montel and Danny and Doug Basham had all been arrested. And Chris was in surgery to remove the bullet from his shoulder and no one knew the extent of the damage done to Mel.

At least two hours passed before a doctor came out to fill them in on the situation. "Are any of you relatives?"

"I am!" Autumn jumped up. "Melony is my sister and that makes Chris my brother-in-law." She said nervously. Shannon stood beside her his arm wrapped tightly around her waist. "Please doctor just spit it out."

Dr. Nelsien cleared his throat. "Mr. Benoit had a successful surgery and should recover with proper rehabilitation. Mrs. Benoit is severely dehydrated and has severe burns to her wrists, which may require skin graphs. Otherwise, she seems to be ok. We need to keep her overnight to monitor her and the baby."

"The baby?" Autumn asked confused.

The doctor nodded. "Yes, Mrs. Benoit is about thirteen weeks along. We will know more once she is conscious and we can do a proper ultrasound. Right now we need to concentrate on raising her blood pressure and stabilizing her heart rate."

They all nodded and Autumn spoke up. "When will we be able to see either of them?"

"It won't be until the anesthesia wears off on Mr. Benoit and you won't be able to see Mrs. Benoit until this evening at the earliest. Please, if you need to run errands or leave it's ok. I can call you when either of them wakes up."

"Thank you Dr. Neilsen." Autumn gave him her number and that of Molly's. They waited until the doctor left their presence before Autumn turned to the rest of them. "OK, did any of you know Mel was pregnant?"

"You mean you didn't know?" Shannon asked.

"No!" Autumn said as she fell into the chair and turned to Molly. "You didn't know either?"

Molly shook her head. "No I didn't. Do you think Chris knows?"

Dave glanced at Shannon. "If so he didn't mention it to either of us."

"Ok, so we all need to take a breath and figure out what we need to do. The locks on the house need to be changed because we just can't be too safe. And you know Chris is going to want to take all the precautions. Dave you know everyone in the security business. Have a new state of the art system installed, new locks, cameras, and the works." Autumn barked orders like a drill sergeant. Shannon, you find out what kind of special arrangements Chris might need once he gets out and have it all set up."

He gave her a mock salute and whispered in her ear, "Promise me when this is all over you will dress up like a drill sergeant and make me do dirty things to you."

Autumn kissed his lips fiercely before sending him away with a definite yes.

"Molly, call Shane and give him the update. Let him know the full extent of their injuries."

"I'm going to go back to the house and stock the kitchen and make sure everything is the way Mel likes it."

Everyone set off on their appointed duties and Molly caught Autumn by the elbow. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm doing fine now that Mel is back."

Molly shot her a look that says I know better. "You aren't the least bit tempted to head to a baby store are you?"

"Me?" Autumn bit her bottom lip. "A little bit but I want to make sure my niece or nephew is ok before I jump the ship. I just know Mel has to have things a certain way and if the carpet isn't vacuumed and the fridge stocked she tends to get a little anal."

Molly gave her a quick hug. "Ok, I have my cell on if you need me call. If not I'll be back here around six pm."

"Thanks Molly."
