Chapter 18

Morning came way too fast. Starr was able to rest real easily, except for a couple of contractions, which Cole was there to help time them.

Other then that, Starr was so ready now to get Patrick out of her. Not only because she wanted to meet her new son that she created with Cole, but she really didn't want to just lay on the bed anymore.

She was actually the first one up in the hospital room she was in. Cole was sleeping on the couch that was right next to the side of the bed. To Starr, it really didn't feel right with Cole sleeping right next to her, but as Cole said to her as they were going to rest, he didn't want to try to compromise the baby, and Starr knew he was right.

Starr though was interrupted from her thoughts when Cole was waking up, stretching his whole body and then seeing his wife was up.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked, getting up and walking to her.

"Okay, for now," said Starr. "I just really want this little one out right now. I just can't wait to meet him."

"I know what you mean," said Cole. "I can't wait for him either. I'm getting really nervous."

"Yeah, but you aren't the one who has to carry him inside of you, Cole," Starr reminded her husband.

"Yeah, that's true, but hey, you know I would change places with you if I could," Cole said, as he pushed some of her hair out of her face. Starr handed him a hair band and Cole put it in a ponytail for her. "Do you want anything?" he asked.

"Oh if I could have some food, I would," said Starr. "but no, nothing right now. Although, that doesn't mean you can go get something to eat."

"I know that, but I do want to stay with you for a little while," said Cole.

Cole's stomach though didn't agree with him as it grumbled loudly, at which Starr giggled a little. She then said, "Go get something to eat, right now."

"Are you sure?" asked Cole.

"I can stay with her, Cole," someone said from the door. Starr and Cole looked up and saw Viki in the doorway. Starr just smiled, as she was happy to see her. Cole was okay with that, so he excused himself, after giving Starr a quick kiss, to get himself some breakfast. Viki walked up to her niece and kissed her on forehead. "How are you doing, Starr?"

"Honestly, a little tired, but excited," said Starr. "I know Hope is really excited to meet her new little brother."

"Oh I know that real well," said Viki. "I think she said to me when she called me that I was the first on her list to tell everyone that her baby brother was coming." Starr laughed a little, but then stopped, because another contraction was coming.

"Breathe, Starr," said Viki, as she kept an eye on the clock. Starr had also taken her Aunt's hand while waiting for the contraction to pass. After a few minutes, it finally passed, but Starr knew that they were getting closer together, though it was still a little off.

"Thanks, Aunt Viki," said Starr.

"You got a lot of work ahead of you, Starr," Viki said.

"I know, but its all worth it," said Starr. "My family's growing, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."

"I know you wouldn't, Starr," said Viki. "You really have grown into a magnificent young woman."

"Well, you did have a little help with that," Starr reminded. Viki just smiled at that.

Meanwhile in the hospital cafeteria, Cole was getting something to eat. Although, he was wishing he did have a home cooked meal, but his mind was mainly on Starr

Just then, a woman came up to take Cole's order. "What do you wish to have?"

"Just give me some scrambled eggs, please," Cole ordered. "with some coffee?"

"Sure, no problem," the woman said, and she retreated into the kitchen. The woman prepared scooped some scrambled eggs from a pot that was just laid out and then she went and got the coffee, and filled it up. Cole paid for his food and drink and headed to a table to eat. He was unaware though that the woman gave a evil looking smile.

Cole had just started eating when he got a big surprise.

"Daddy! Has he come yet?" Hope had arrived and saw her dad in the cafeteria, with Langston and Markko right behind her.

'Not yet, sweetie," said Cole, getting ready to take a drink of his coffee. "Your mom still got a little while to wait till she'll be ready to push Patrick out of her."

"She's so excited, she didn't even hesitate to get ready so we can get up here," said Langston.

"I just want to welcome my baby brother into-" but Hope stopped right there as the woman who served Cole's breakfast was sneaking out, and Hope saw her face as it turned.

"That evil woman is here," she said.

"Evil woman?" asked Cole, looking at Langston and Markko who were also confused. "What do you mean?" he asked as he sat his undrunk coffee back down.

"The one who's after you, Daddy," Hope reminded her father. It took a few seconds for the three adults to realize that Hope was talking about Britney.

"We better find her," said Cole, pushing his food and drink aside. "Langston, can you stay with Hope?"

"No problem," said Langston.

Cole and Markko headed out of the cafeteria to go search Britney, while on the way, Cole called John to let him know Britney was at the hospital.

"We might have better luck if we split up," said Markko.

"I agree," said Cole, and that's what they did, heading off in different hallways.

Meanwhile, Viki had left so Starr could get some rest. She was resting peacefully, that she didn't notice that the door was opening, and someone wearing a hairnet and mask was entering. He then closed the door and looked at Starr. "Its almost time, Starr," he said, as he took his mask off. It was James.

He walked up quietly to her, still staring, and then he started to look around as to what to turn off so he could get Starr out of there.

Back at the cafeteria, Hope was worried a little, along with Hope, that Cole and Markko wouldn't be able to find her, and who could blame them, considering how big the hospital was.

"Aunt Langston, " Hope said suddenly, "do you think that bad boy is here too?"

"I wouldn't be surprised-," but Langston stopped right there, because she just had a bad thought. If Britney was here, James was certain to be here, and she knew where he would be at. The only thing is that she didn't want to leave Hope behind.

"Hey Langston," said Viki, who just walked in. "Hey, Hope."

"Aunt Viki, we have trouble," Hope said automatically.

"What do you mean?" asked Viki.

"Britney and James are here, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're putting their plan into action," said Langston.

"Oh my god," said Viki. "I just left Starr a few minutes ago. She's resting right now because she had another contraction."

"We got to stop them," said Hope.

"We will," said Langston. "I got to warn Cole though."

"You go ahead. I'll stay here with Hope," said Viki. Langston headed out and went to look for either one of her friends.

Cole was looking around, trying to find Britney so she wouldn't be able to escape or put her plan into action. He slowed down a little, to catch his breath. Little did he realize, Britney was coming up to him with a cloth.

"You're mine, Cole," she said, as she started to move, but before she could act, someone has interrupted her, which brought Cole around. He turned and saw Langston trying to hold Britney while she was struggling to get out of Langston's group.

"You," Cole said, in an angry voice.

"Don't worry about her, get to Starr, NOW!" Langston ordered. Cole wondered why, but then realized who could be with Starr right now, and high-tailed it back there as fast as he could.

Langston though still continued to struggle with Britney, but then Britney managed to shake Langston off. "Now you are going to learn what happens when someone messes with me." She would of have shown that though if Markko hadn't turned up real quick and grabbed Britney real tight, until a couple of security guards came around to see what the disturbance was.

"This girl here is a wanted criminal here, and she was about to harm one of our friends, and her accomplice is here as well," said Langston as Markko handed Britney over to the guards.

'That's ridiculous, why would I do something like that?" Britney said, while trying to hide her identity. That was a big fail though, as one of the guards thought she looked familiar, and he removed the hairnet.

"That's the woman who broke that man out of that mental hospital months ago," said the guard. "We're going to need you two to come with us."

"Okay," said Langston, as the guard put Britney in cuffs. "But there's something you need to know. The man who she broke out is here too, and he could be in my friend's room now." The guards knew that was serious, so one of them called for backup and to meet at Starr's room.

Back in Starr's room, she was still sleeping just as James was about to take her off the machines to move her, when she started to wake up. "You?" she said, in angry voice.

"Don't worry, Starr. I'm going to get you out of here, and its going to be okay," said James.

"No you're not," said Starr, as she tried to get up, but unfortunately, Patrick was making that impossible to do as she couldn't move real easily right now.

"Starr, just take it easy. Once we get you out of here, I'll take care of you," he said, trying to hold her down, even though Starr was trying to not be touched. Starr even knocked something down to try to get someone's attention.

"Starr, you will relax, once we get you out of here, we can start our life. I know that you love me," said James.

"Get away from me," said Starr. She really wanted to move, but she didn't want to do any harm to Patrick while he was still inside of her.

"Starr, I know you don't-" but James didn't get to finish his sentence, as he was knocked out from behind.

"Actually, she does." Cole was the one who knocked James out. He then went to Starr to make sure she was okay.

"I'm all right, Cole," said Starr. "I just hope-,"

"Starr, calm down," said Cole. Unfortunately, it was too late for that, as Starr had another contraction, and by the way Starr screamed, it was real bad.

A/N: Uh-Oh. James and Britney may have been taken down, but will Starr and Cole's unborn son Patrick be okay, stay tuned.
