Arriving at the hospital a short time later, Clarisse was taken to her Doctors office where he updated her with Pierre's condition, then took her to see Pierre.
Standing next to his bed she looked down at her son, trying to be brave best she could. Slowly she placed her hand up and brushed his hair back, leaning over and placed a small kiss to his forehead before sitting down and held onto his hand, watching for any sign of movement as her Doctor and nurse left them alone.
"Come on Pierre, you can't leave me too." She whispered while shaking her head "Please wake up sweetheart." She added and started crying while holding his hand against her face, kissing the back of it "I'm so sorry I wasn't here," She cried "If I had of been then this wouldn't of happened." She said closing her eyes as a couple tears escaped, falling from her cheeks as she rested her head on his arm "I'm so sorry." She cried "Je t'aime, Pierre!"
"Let me see her," Demanded Rupert, staring at his father and the guards "She's my Wife dammit it, I should be with her."
"Not when she's giving birth Rupert, Now Sit Back DOWN!" His Father yelled while pointing to the chair "She will be fine, she's in good hands and your Mother is with her." He snapped while watching Rupert pace the floor, then stood with his hands on his hips staring at him "Don't give me that look either, you know the rules."
"I should be in there with her," Rupert exclaimed "Not out here arguing with my Father." He said looking down and shook his head "She's my Wife, she's having our baby." He said slowly looking up at him.
"I wasn't in with your Mother when she had you." His Father snapped back "Now please sit down!"
"Things have changed since then Father," He said looking down the corridor and found himself running down it seconds later.
"Shall we stop him?" A guard asked, looking at his former King.
"No," He said shaking his head "Let him go." He sighed and sat down "He's just as stubborn as my own Father was," He laughed a little looking down the hall "I hope for his sake his Mother stops him," He said looking at the guard "We've done all we could." He added while sitting back in the chair, shaking his head.
"That's it Clarisse, keep pushing darling." Rupert's Mother exclaimed "You're nearly there." She added and watched Clarisse push her head back in the pillow.
"Where's Rupert," She cried "I want him here." She sobbed while closing her eyes and screamed, pushing through a contraction.
"Just focus on having this baby, who will be soon in your arms sweetheart," His Mother soothed, while stroking the back of Clarisse's hand "You will see him then," She whispered as the door suddenly flung open, making everyone turn to see Rupert stood staring at the scene before him.
"Rupert," Clarisse exclaimed through crying and watched him rush over to her.
"Nothing can keep me away from you, my love." He whispered and kissed her forehead before taking her hand.
"You can't be in here Rupert," His Mother exclaimed.
"Save it Mother," He said looking at her while sitting beside Clarisse, putting his arm around her shoulders "I'm staying, my Clarisse needs me." He said and looked down at Clarisse as she nodded.
Watching her Daughter in law nodding then sharing a quick kiss with her Son, she nodded "Very well," She said looking at the Doctor and just shrugged.
"Ok, Your Majesty." The Royal Doctor exclaimed "On this next contraction you're going to push with all your might ok?" He added and watched her nod "Good,"
"It's coming," She exclaimed through breathing and started screaming as she pushed with all her might.
"Oh Clarisse," His Mother exclaimed "The heads out," She beamed "Keep going."
"And relax." Her Doctor said after another moment "On the next one I promise." He said watching her tip her head back on Rupert's arm, while closing her eyes trying to catch her breath.
"Come on my love," Rupert whispered in her ear "Let's do this," He said watching her open her eyes "Je t'aime, mon amour!" He whispered and kissed her.
Seconds later Clarisse lifted her head and tipped it forward "Ecco che arriva un altro!" She exclaimed and started screaming.
Seconds later they heard the cry's of their baby, both staring in amazement as her Doctor lifted the baby up for them to see.
"Congratulations, it's a boy." He smiled.
"You done it my love," Rupert whispered while looking at Clarisse, kissing her as they both cried together.
After they had cleaned him up, checked him over and wrapped him in a blanket they passed him to Rupert, who stood staring at his new born son with the biggest smile anyone has ever had.
And as Clarisse sat up in bed they both watched as their tiny son stretched out his arm while making small baby noises.
"He's so beautiful," Rupert smiled over at Clarisse then back down at him in his arms "I still can't believe he's here and ours." He whispered while moving over and sat on the edge of the bed next to Clarisse "He's our son Clarisse," He whispered.
"He is," Clarisse nodded and watched as Rupert took his tiny hand and kissed his fingers "I have been thinking about names," She whispered as Rupert looked up "What do you think about Pierre?" She smiled.
"After my Grandfather?" He whispered as she nodded "I love it," He nodded while putting his free arm over, cupping her face for a second before moving his hand to the back of her head while leaning in and kissed her a couple times "I know he would be very proud if he were here now." He whispered and looked into her eyes "I'm proud of you too, you know."
"Thank you," She smiled and put her hand on the back of Pierre's head as he slept contently in his Daddies arms.
"I love you so much Clarisse, I'm so glad I have you and now our son," He whispered looking up at her "Our own family." He beamed.
"Our own family," She nodded with a small smile "I love you too Rupert," She whispered and watched him slowly look up.
"I love you too Rupert,"
"Mom?" Olivia whispered after hearing the whisper come from her Mom "Mom?" She asked again while placing her hand on the back of her head to awake her, and watched her slowly lift her head, looking up at her "Are you ok?" She watched as Clarisse sat up fast and looked around.
Fixing her eyes on Pierre "I must of been dreaming." She said slowly looking up at Olivia.
"What about?" She asked and pulled a chair over to her "Whatever it was you were dreaming about, you told Rupert you loved him." She whispered and watched Clarisse nod.
"I did," She whispered "I mean I do," She said looking at Olivia "Just because I'm married to your Father and moved on after he passed away, doesn't mean for one second I didn't love him." She said looking at Olivia as she took her hands "I loved him so so much and miss him too." She said looking at Pierre while shaking her head a little.
"I know Mom," Olivia whispered and let go of her hand, putting her arm around Clarisse's shoulders "Tell me what you were dreaming about." She asked.
"The day I gave birth to my beautiful Son," She said softly, not taking her eyes from Pierre laying motionless.
"Was it with Pierre that Rupert demanded he be there with you?" She asked as Clarisse nodded and looked at her.
"It was," She nodded and looked back at Pierre "I just can't believe I am faced with this all over again, I have lost one husband, one son and now I may lose another." She said starting to cry as Olivia wrapped her arms around her.
"He's strong Mom, he will be just fine," She whispered, closing her eyes while trying not to cry.
"We thought that with Philippe," She sobbed.
"Come on, let's go and get some air." Olivia whispered while standing up.
"I can't leave him, what if something happens?" She exclaimed as Olivia grabbed her hands.
"We are just outside, I will inform the nurse who can come and get us if anything does." Olivia whispered and watched as she slowly stood up.
"When did you get so grown up?" Clarisse asked as they headed out the room.
After letting the nurse know where they were going they headed down to the hospital pond out the front and sat on the bench as Shades watched from the main entrance, giving them some privacy.
"If I had been here none of this would of happened," Clarisse whispered while looking at Olivia "I should of been here."
"Mom, it's one of them things, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"I should of been here," She said shaking her head and covered her face with her hands, still trying to grasp whats happened when Olivia's phone started ringing.
"It's Daddy," She said looking at Clarisse and answered the phone "Hello Daddy."
"Hello darling, I just wondered if your Mom was home yet? As she should of been by now and she didn't call to tell me she had arrived safely." He asked.
"Yeah she's here with me, sorry Daddy." Olivia said watching Clarisse shake her head a little as a couple tears fell down her cheeks "I was going to call you actually,"
"What's happened?" He asked, panic in his voice.
After she explained what happened she looked at Clarisse "Mommy, he wants to talk with you." She said holding the phone out to her and watched her slowly take it.
"Hello," She whispered while looking down.
"Hello sweetheart, I just wanted to let you know that I am going to get the first flight home ok,"
"No Joseph, you need to stay there and help your friend." Clarisse exclaimed "I have the girls and my Dad," She whispered.
"I know you do, but my family, including your Dad need me, my friend will understand." Joseph whispered "You need me baby, and I'm going to be there as soon as I can, I promise." He waited for an answer but just heard faint sobs instead "Oh baby, I love you so much, Pierre will be ok, he will pull through, you'll see."
"I just wish you were here and I was here yesterday, this wouldn't of happened if I had been." Clarisse cried as Olivia rubbed her back.
"Listen to me, it's no good thinking about the ifs or the buts, it could of happened to him at anytime or it could of happened to you." He whispered "I will be there as soon as I can ok,"
"Ok," She answered "I love you."
"I love you too, can you put Olivia on for me please?" He asked.
"Ok," She said looking at Olivia "He wants to talk to you," She said watching her take the phone then wiped her eyes.
After a few minutes they hung up, where they sat in silence for a while.
Shades reamed by the doors, watching the coming and goings of people when Erica came out to, looking at him for a second then over to see Clarisse and Olivia being bundled into a car.
"NO!" Erica screamed and started running over to the car as Shades gave chase too.
As the car drove away, Erica chased after it as Shades followed with hospital security, taking note of the number plate when he caught up with Erica as she stopped who was screaming and crying.
"How could this be happening?" She cried as one of the hospital guards got on the radio to call the police.
"We will find them, don't worry." He said looking the other way to see Paul and Maxwell running towards them.
"What's happened?" They asked as Erica bent over, trying to catch her breath.
"Someones kidnapped Mom and Olivia," She said standing up straight while taking a deep breath.
"Come on, let's get you inside." Shades said looking around as Erica shook her head.
"I need to find them," She cried while putting her hands up on her head "We can't let them drive away."
"We will find them, I promise you." Shades said looking at her.
As soon as they got her inside, leaving Maxwell on the door, guarding Erica, Cara and Rose as Paul stood guard of Pierre's door, Shades and a few others got to work trying to track them down and find out who the car belongs too.
Meanwhile a few miles down the road, a car lay on its roof with nothing but silence around them. Seconds later, Olivia crawled from the wreck, moving away from the car before falling down and rolling over onto her back.
"Mom," She whispered, trying to remain awake while staring up at the sky.
Several moments passed when Olivia opened her eyes, turning her head when she heard someone coughing and seeing Clarisse rushing towards her, holding her side.
"Mommy," Olivia cried.
"Shhh," Clarisse whispered, laying down next to her and lent over "Are you ok?" She whispered, cupping her face.
"It hurts," She whispered "Are you ok?"
"I think so," Clarisse nodded, hugging her "I need you to do something Livy, you need to play dead for me." She whispered in her ear and felt her shake her head.
"What? No?" Olivia whispered "I can't."
"I know it will hard, but this is the only way darling," Clarisse whispered, through crying "They are going to take me I know it, but when its clear you need to try and get help for us ok? And tell them who's doing this." She cried, moving her hand to the back of Olivia's head and kissed her "I love you so much, I'm so proud of you darling."
"I can't leave you Mom," Olivia whispered and watched her pull her head back a little "I can't."
"You need to," Clarisse whispered, wiping away her tears "I will be fine, I promise." She whispered, turning her head when she heard glass cracking behind her, quickly looking back at Olivia "You need to be brave for me sweetheart," She whispered and covered Olivia's face with her hair, so they couldn't see her crying as another car pulled up.
"Come on," Came a voice as he made his way over to them "Get up, the pair of you, NOW!" He exclaimed.
"She can't," Clarisse cried, leaning over Olivia "She's dead." She cried and heard the clicking of a gun, making her look at him stood aiming the gun at Olivia "Please don't," Clarisse moved onto her knees "Michael, if you love me like you calm you did just minutes ago," She said putting her hands together as tears ran down her face "You won't shoot her," She cried "Please...I beg you?"
"Fine, it's you I want anyway." He said nodding to his men and watched one of them grab hold of Clarisse around the waist, lifting her of the floor as she screamed out in pain "Shut up will you." Michael fumed and watched his guard carry her away and throw her in the back of the other car.
Looking around the wreck then down at Olivia for a second before walking away and climbed in the back of the car, driving away as Olivia lay crying on the floor.
"Mom," She whispered and tried to move but couldn't.
Drifting in and out of consciousness for several minutes before opening her eyes and seeing someone running towards her, fearing they came back she tried to move but failed.
"It's ok, your safe." Came a friendly voice as he knelt beside her "Olivia?" He asked as she looked up "It's me, Officer Clark?"
"Mom, she needs help." She whispered closing her eyes.
"Your Mom's here?" He exclaimed while standing up and looked around for a second then ran over to the over turned car, before running back to Olivia "She's not here Olivia," He exclaimed while kneeling back beside her.
"Help me...please... help me." She whispered before passing out through pain.
