A/N: Hey so this is my version of a "short chapter". It only took me 22 days instead of the customary month or so, a big deal for me. If you like this length, the next one might be quicker, it will be easier for me to write. Let me know!

Chester's POV a little ways back...

My twin sister, my best friend in the whole world, watched my alcoholic husband get drunk and then tried to seduce him. Chester could not believe what he'd just heard. There were so many things wrong with that sentence he couldn't wrap his head around it. He looked to the spot next to Sarah expecting to see an innocent look on Keagan's smug face, but he wasn't there.

"Where the hell is he?" He shouted directly at Sarah. She shrugged, looking confused herself. "I didn't even see him leave."

Chester started stood up angrily and looked Sarah dead in the eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with you," he said in a low voice, "but you and I both know Casey would never do something like that." He then turned to her parents. "I'm taking her home now. You had no right to do this to her."

With that he turned on his heel and stalked out of the room toward the front hallway. Evelyn started to stand up looking like she wanted to stop him but Casey Sr. held her back. "Let 'im go Evie. We need to talk."

As he went the last two months flashed through his head. He realized that something must of happened. Something terrible. Something that was eating her up inside. Something she hadn't told him about. He grunted aloud and walked faster, eager to get to her. As he neared the bathroom he heard voices and when he looked inside he saw that man in there with her. He had his hands on her and she was crying and Chester lost it. Anger surged through his veins as he shouted and lunged at Daniel. He threw a punch as hard as he could, it connected with a crack. Danny fell and Chester kept hitting him, the whole time thinking about all the things he could have done to the woman he loves.

A moan jerked Chester back to reality. He stopped abruptly and turned to see his wife fall to the floor with her hands around her belly. All the fight rushed out of Chester as he hurried to her side. He held her up and she grabbed his hand. He thought his fingers would snap but didn't care, she was sobbing and he never felt so scared before in his life. He asked her what was wrong and she said those words, words that made his heart fall into his shoes. He stared at her in disbelief. She had a contraction. He gently felt her belly, it was hard as a rock. She flinched violently at his touch. Oh Jesus.

Casey was crying hard and every so often glancing at the semi-conscious form slumped against the wall. All of a sudden, they heard footsteps and Casey's sister showed up.

Surprisingly the first thing Sarah noticed was Danny, she ran over to him horrified by his bruised and bloodied face. "What did you do to my husband!" she screeched. Danny groaned a little before becoming completely unresponsive.

"The real question is what did your husband do to your sister!" Chester snapped, glaring at her.

Sarah whipped around to face him. Her face suddenly paled. "What happened? What's wrong with her?"

Chester ignored her focusing his attention on Casey. "Sweetheart, I need you to try to calm down ok; try to breathe slower." She was trying, he could tell she was trying but it was hard for her. She managed to choke out a few words. "H-Hospital...n-now."

"Ok, ok let's get out of here. Do you think you can stand up?" he asked. She nodded and he helped her up slowly, steadying her on her feet.

"Are you ok?"

She nodded tearfully, gripping his arm with both of hers.

"All right, just hold onto me and keep trying to breathe steady." They started to walk and they made it to the front door before they noticed Sarah was following them.

"Let me come with you." She said breathlessly. Chester regarded her with bemusement, she looked almost as scared as Casey did.

"Sarah, that isn't necessary, she's...she's gonna be ok." Chester said, with no amount of certainty. He let go of Casey briefly to get her coat out of the closet and she leaned against the front door.

When he turned around she was hysterical again and Sarah was holding her and talking to her in a soothing voice. "It's ok June, it's ok. Just breathe sweetie."

"It hurts" Casey moaned. "I know it does, I know but just hang in there, we're gonna get you to the hospital okay" Sarah coaxed, "Chester we have to hurry these contractions are too close. Maybe we should call an ambulance?"

Chester shook his head. "No, that'll take too long, I'll put the siren on in my car, we'll get there in no time."

Within seconds the three of them were piled into Chester's car, Sarah in the back seat with Casey, speeding toward Mercy General.

"Hey Sarah, do me a favor?" Chester called from the front, "Call her doctor for me, and tell him what's happening, his number is Dr. B in my contacts." He dug his phone out of his back pocket and tossed it to her. She dialed it right away.

When they got to the hospital, Dr. Berggren was waiting for them in the Emergency Room with a wheelchair. He ran up as soon as he saw them. "How's she doing?" He looked at Casey who was now sweating profusely and clinging to her husband's and sister's arms for dear life. They quickly guided her toward the wheelchair and sat her down, she let go of them and wrapped her arms around her belly.

"Not good doc," Chester said, visibly shaken, "She had another one just as we pulled up, why is this happening?" He pushed Casey after the doctor as he started to walk toward the elevator, Sarah tagged along after them.

"Did her water break?" Dr. Berggren asked.

"No, no I don't think so."

"That's good, then we still have some time." He reached down and tried to feel Casey's belly, she jerked away from him, wrapping her arms tighter around herself. Dr. Berggren made eye contact with Chester. "What happened?" he asked earnestly.

Before Chester could answer, the elevator opened on the 4th floor. Dr. B dropped the subject for the time being and led them down the hall. The went through a door into the maternity ward and then into a patient room. Chester helped her up onto the bed while the doctor had a nurse bring in a fetal monitor.

Sarah watched from the doorway as her sister was hooked up to the machine. Casey resisted a little when Chester pulled her shirt up so the nurse could put the probes on her. Then Chester said something to her, she nodded reluctantly, and bit her lip when the doctor came over and touched her again. Sarah could tell it made her very uncomfortable and she didn't understand why.

"All right, the babies don't seem to have moved around too much," Dr. Berggren was saying, "now let's just see if you've dilated any and we'll move on from there." She didn't move a muscle and looked as though she might vomit. He looked at Chester who nodded and moved closer to Casey.

"Sweetie, I know you're not gonna like this but he has to do this for the babies, he's not gonna hurt you. I'm here, and I'll make sure he doesn't. Just keep your eyes on me, everything is going to be ok". He then pulled a blanket over her and started to peel down the leggings she was wearing.

Casey tried hard to focus on her husband as he pulled off her pants, and then her underwear. She was trying to keep her grip on reality but every time she blinked she saw his face, she heard his voice in her head, felt his hands on her body. She didn't realize she'd been holding her legs together until she felt Chester pull them open.

Dr. Berggren came closer to her and she felt afraid, a feeling she tried hard to shake off. Her doctor wasn't going to hurt her, he was trying to help. The next thing she knew he had his fingers inside of her, and she gritted her teeth and willed herself not to cry. The tears came anyway, even the brief intrusion made her feel violated. She didn't even know it was over until she heard Chester's voice saying that it was. He was holding her hand and talking about everything being okay and she suddenly felt a flash of anger towards him. Everything is not okay. She pulled her hand away from him and snapped at him to leave her alone. An irrational thought went through her head. Chester is not going to protect me.

She looked around him at her sister who was watching her with a mixture of fear and sympathy on her face. They made eye contact and Sarah started to walk towards her as if knowing what she was thinking.

Sarah could tell her twin needed her. She walked right past Chester and got on the bed next to her. Casey immediately clung to her. Sarah hugged her gently and brushed her fingers through her hair.

Chester backed away in defeat and watched as his wife was consoled by her twin, all the while wondering to himself what he'd done wrong. Dr. Berggren was talking to him now.

"She hasn't dilated at all yet, so that's good news. I'm going to start her on an IV of magnesium sulfate to slow the contractions. Hopefully by morning they will stop completely."

"What if they don't, what happens if she goes into labor now?" Chester asked, not taking his eyes of her.

"I'm going to be honest with you Chester; this has to work. At 20 weeks...it's just too early."
