A/N:

I know you guys have been waiting a while for this to see what happens so here you go! :)

CPOV

There was no pain, just a lot of noise. The last thing I remember is hearing a loud gunshot and then blackness. I knew I was dead. How could I not be? Or thought I was dead until I saw the people surrounding me, then there was pain. I tried to speak but couldn't bring myself to form words.

"Shh..Its ok CB we are here its ok. You're ok." I knew it was Eve and looked to see her sitting by my bed looking half dead and rumpled. "I can't believe you made it. You are so tough."

I sighed in agreement, still not forming words. Looking around I saw the room was filled with people, vamps and humans alike. My parents were by the window looking distraught and tired. Across the room Myrnin and Oliver, surprisingly, were bent over a table looking at what appeared to be vials and beakers, uh oh. There was Richard standing behind Eve and Michael was in the farthest corner of the room with his head in his hands. His clothes were rumpled, his hair was a mess and he seemed to be oblivious to everyone.

"Mike…" I tried to say but had to cough in order to even whisper his name.

He looked up, relief flooding his features before getting up and practically running over to me. "Oh god Claire…don't you ever scare me like that again. Ever I won't be able to handle it at all." He sighed and kissed me gently and held me. "I am so glad you made it through we were so worried."

"How long was I out? and what happened." I whispered

"Shane. He was too aggressive." It was Richard who spoke. "I fired at him the second Michael leapt at him I didn't expect him to shoot you though. I didn't mean to shoot him where I did either just disarm him…" He trailed off and sighed unhappily.

"He deserved what happened." Eve said putting her arms around Richard.

"What about the baby?"

"I'm sorry Claire…that was the only thing he took from us before we got him." Michael choked on his words as he said them and gripped my hand. "He took our baby he deserved what he got."

"Michael does this mean-"

"Sorry to interrupt but we need to tell you this Claire, " Myrnin handed me a small vial of a pinkish liquid, "You need to take one of these a day. Right now it will be the only thing keeping you alive right now."

"Oh." I looked at the small vial and took a sip before coughing as it burned its way down my throat.

"We are working out the kinks but you must take it every morning in order to keep living this life."

I nodded and finished it trying not to cough again. "Thank you." I croaked.

I watched as everyone left one by one over the hours. Eve and Richard went downstairs to fix some coffee and something to eat for us all.

"Is Shane dead Mike?" I asked quietly.

"Yes."
