Chapter 28 : Talia Christina Douglas
Harris House - Upstairs
Chase , Grace , Andy Jr. , and Dakota made it upstairs to see the far door opened in the Wildcat ' s house .
" The attic , " Grace said running towards the door fighting off the Agents trying to stop them as Chase and the boys helped her .
" Get out of the way , " Andy Jr. shouted finally pissed at these creeps going after his mom and punched one in the face knocking him out .
" Not , bad Little A . " Chase said as they made it through and ran to the door to see Gayda had Debra by the hair and dangling her out the window ready to drop her two stories down .
" You may not die , but the brat will . " Gayda said .
" No , " Andy Jr. and Dakota pounced on top of Gayda causing her to let go of Debra ' s hand , but Grace caught her instead .
" Hang on , " Grace said .
" Grace , I ' m slipping , " Debra said .
" Chase , " Grace called .
But , Chase had been tackled from behind by Agents who he and now Dakota and Andy Jr. were fighting off as Gayda was now knocked out from hitting her head on something hard in the attic .
" Hang on , Grace . " Chase said trying to break through , but not being successful .
" Debra , you have to hold on , " Grace said .
" I can ' t , " Debra said as her hand started getting sweaty .
" Debra , " Andy called as he and Chris ran up the stairs .
" Andy , help , " Grace called as she felt something pull in her shoulder , but she wasn ' t about to let go of Debra .
" Hang on , Grace , " Chris called as he and Andy fought through the Agents .
" Ah , " Grace grimaced as she felt the pulling in her shoulder .
" Grace , " Debra said .
" I ' m fine , just hold on . " Grace said .
" You ' re hurt , " Debra said .
" I don ' t care , my whole body could break down on me , but I ' m not letting you go , so , focus on holding on until help gets here . " Grace said ignoring the pain .
" If they get here in time . " Gayda said going to hit Grace with a wooden stick , but getting kicked in the gut by Rosie .
" Leave my sister alone . " Rosie said .
" Rosie , " Grace , Andy , and Chris said .
" That whole stealth thing works for me , too , and these idiots left a window open as well . " Rosie pointing at the ladder next to the far window .
" Rosie , " Andy said .
" Ah , " Grace said about ready to break until she heard a voice in her head that sounded like Aubrey Harris , her mother , telling her to not give up and Grace found the strength to hang on a little longer .
" Help Grace , I ' ve got Gayda . " Rosie said .
" Right , " Chris said as he and Andy went to Grace as Chase joined them with Andy Jr. and Dakota .
" Alright , Grace , we ' ve got her . " Chase said as he and Andy pulled Debra up as Grace backed off .
" You okay ? " Chris asked .
" Yeah , but I thought I heard mom speak to me . " Grace said making Chris look at her .
" What ? " Chris asked .
" She told me not to give up , I swear it was her , just like on the video tape . " Grace said .
" She ' s always watched over us , so , its not hard to believe , Grace . " Chris said .
" You have her listening to ghost . " Gayda snickered pointing the stick she had at Grace as Shane and Devine ran up the stairs with Storm and Cassidy behind them .
" I am listening to a strength far greater than you would understand , Gayda . " Grace approached her and Rosie .
" Here , I think you may need this , " Rosie said handing Grace her own stick .
" Thanks and thank you for having my back earlier . " Grace said taking the stick .
" Hey , we may fight sometimes , but at the end of the day we are still sisters and we are still members of the Harris family and if there ' s one thing you don ' t do to a Harris its piss us off by messing with our family . " Rosie said stepping back and letting Grace take the fight with Gayda .
" You sure that ' s wise challenging me with a hurt shoulder ? " Gayda asked .
" I fight for something bigger that makes this hurt shoulder nothing more than dull ache . I mean , lets talk about what you did , Gayda . You had me taken away from dad because of all of the lies you told , you allowed some evil men to kidnap me from the orphanage after the authorities found out about your lies , you sat and watched me get tortured for years knowing who my dad was , and you ' ve since my release have continued to threaten and try to hurt my family . I won ' t let you get away with that , but seeing as I am in generous mood , I will allow you one chance to give up while you can . " Grace said preparing to fight with Gayda .
" No , " Gayda said as she began the stick fight against Grace .
The two fought for hours getting shots in with the sticks on each other until Grace began to block some of the blows and delivered extra blows behind the blocks , but soon the hurt shoulder and blows started getting to her until Grace remember the training at Shane ' s , the promises she made , and her mother ' s voice telling her to never give up . Just as Gayda went to give Grace a finishing blow , Grace stopped it and followed up with several hard hits from her stick to Gayda before putting the end of the stick in front of Gayda ' s foot tripping her up and landing a hard hit to the back of Gayda ' s head causing her to fall to the ground . Grace kicked the stick Gayda had been using away and then as she thought about giving Gayda another blow she withdrew from the fight .
" Go on , finish it , prove you have it in you to finish me , girl . " Gayda said .
" No , because doing that would mean I ' m just like you , preying on the defenseless because you can ' t leave people who want nothing to do with you alone . " Grace said .
" Then you are a coward and weak , " Gayda said .
" No , it means I ' m my mother ' s daughter and I kept the honor she and my dad taught me about . " Grace said with that Gayda , Kash , and the enemies left .
" Good job , Grace . " Chris said .
" You maybe be ready soon to advance to a bigger stick . " Devine said .
" I think I like the one I ' ve got , " Grace said .
" You did good , American Kid . " Shane said .
" Thanks , but I had help , " Grace said looking at the Dynamic Duo and Rosie .
" Aw , shucks , " Rosie and Dakota said .
" Mom , are you okay ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" Yes , baby , I ' m okay , thanks to Grace . " Debra said .
" I , " Grace said not knowing what to say .
" Thank you , " Debra said hugging Grace .
" You ' re welcome , " Grace said .
" Jeez , I almost had a heart attack . " Andy said .
" Really ? " Chase and Cassidy asked .
" Ah , " Debra said touching her belly .
" Debra , " Andy said concerned .
" I feel , " Debra said .
" The baby ? " Chris asked .
" Yeah , " Debra said .
" Premature labor ? " Andy asked .
" The stress could have done it , James ambulance . " Chris said looking at the Cowboy as he and Andy helped Debra downstairs .
" Right , " James said calling the ambulance .
" Make sure she gets to our clinic . " Chris said .
" I ' ll ride with her . " Andy said .
" Right , " Chris said .
" Chase , make sure little man gets to the clinic . " Andy said .
" No problem , " Chase said .
The ambulance came and took Debra to the hospital as Andy rode with her .
The Clinic - Delivery Room
Soon the rest of the family arrived at the clinic as Chris cleaned up quickly and got into scrubs , going into the emergancy delivery room to help deliver Debra and Andy ' s baby girl .
" Alright , Debra , I need you to stay with me , okay . " Chris said .
" Okay , " Debra panting and in pain as she felt contrations , Andy was by her side trying to keep her calm as Chris worked .
" Its okay , baby . " Andy said rubbing the back of her neck .
Waiting Room
The rest of the family was in the waiting room hoping and praying that everything turned out okay for Andy , Debra , and the baby .
" Is she , too , early ? " Chase asked Storm .
" Its hard to say , Grace , Dakota , Andy Jr. , and Edward all came on time , but Rosie and the twins were born a bit early , so , it really depends on the development of the baby inside of the mother . " James said .
Andy Jr. was in the corner as they heard him start crying .
" Little Natural ? " Cassidy asked .
" I hope mom and sister are okay . " Andy Jr. said .
" Come here , buddy . " Chase said .
Andy Jr. walked to his uncle allowing Chase to pick him up and hold him .
" Uncle Chase , will they be okay ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" Chris , will help them bud , " Chase said praying for a miracle .
Emergancy Delivery Room
In the delivery room , Chris was continued to work as he finally got the baby girl out and dried her off , at first she didn ' t cry , making both parents worry until Chris suctioned out her mouth and nose causing her to cry as the fluids was cleared from her airways .
" She ' s okay , " Chris said .
" Thank you , " Andy sighed in relief as Debra cried at the sight of her newborn girl .
" Talia Christina Douglas , you nearly scared us to death . " Debra said as Chris cleaned and stitched Debra up and then gave Talia to her .
" Yep , girls will do that to you , congratulations to both of you . " Chris said .
" Thank you , Chris . " Andy said smiling at the bonding moment between his daughter and her mother .
" Yeah , bro , " Chris said .
Soon Andy , Debra , and the baby was put in a family room as Andy now held his baby girl .
" Vampire princess , I love you so much . " Andy kissed her forehead .
" Hey , don ' t start it this early . " Debra said knowing what her husband was telling the little one .
" Its only the natural way to do things , baby . " Andy said .
" Yeah , " Debra said .
Chris soon came into the room with the family behind him .
" You have visitors . " Chris said .
" Awe , look at the little princess . " Chase smiled .
" Is that my sister ? " Andy Jr. asked .
" Yep , that ' s your sister , bud . " Chase said .
" She ' s so pretty , " Traci said .
" Naturally , Aunt Traci . " Andy Jr. said making Chase , Andy , and Debra laugh .
" Chase , you have niece now , bro . " Andy said .
" Yeah , " Chase said raising his arms in victory .
Grace had her arm in a sling to protect her shoulder , but would only need it for a couple of weeks as she stood by and watched smiling at the birth of the new baby in the family and seeing her friends safe and happy again . Grace stepped out and walked down to her father ' s office thinking about hearing her mother ' s voice and happy that everything had turned out okay for the family .
" Grace , " Andy ran to catch up with her .
" Yeah , " Grace said .
" Can we talk ? " Andy asked .
" About ? " Grace looked at him .
" I wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier today , I shouldn ' t have snapped at you like that for helping the family , but I did cause I thought I should have been doing more to help my family . " Andy said .
" Look , I know you ' ve been under a lot of stress lately with everything going and I should have asked you what you wanted me to do when the note came , but I am so use to these things coming all of a sudden that all I know to do is react and deal with it . But , Andy know that I would never ever do anything to hurt you or your family or anyone in the extended family , you and Chase pulled me out of a burning building and for the longest time before I knew Katie was still out there , you guys were the first real friends I ever had and the first people to break me from the silence I was in from what I went through in that horrible place , so , all I ' ve ever wanted to do was help you guys . " Grace said tears falling down her face .
" Then if what you want to do is help us then continue to do so , you ' ve done wonderful by helping Little A come out of his fear and to be ready to help his family which has helped him grow confidently . And tonight you saved Debra and Talia from something terrible happening to them , so , what I ask is for you to help watch after my daughter , too , if you will ? " Andy asked .
" If that is what you want then I will do it with all of my strength , brother . " Grace held her hand out to Andy .
Andy first shook Grace ' s hand and then hugged her to him as she cried on him relieved that Andy wasn ' t upset at her anymore .
" Now , don ' t you have a newborn daughter who needs some bonding time with her father . " Grace said drying her eyes .
" I do , " Andy chuckled at Grace going back to the family room Debra and Talia were in .
" Well done , Grace . " Grace heard Aubrey say to her again .
" Mom ? " Grace asked walking into her dad ' s office .
" Grace , " Aubrey called to her .
" Where are you ? " Grace asked .
" Mirror , " Aubrey said .
" Huh ? " Grace said as she turned to look at the mirror in her dad ' s office and saw a strange reflection .
" Come closer , you don ' t have to be afraid . " Aubrey said .
" I ' m not afraid , I ' m just confused at how you are talking to me like this ? " Grace asked as she approached the mirror seeing her mother ' s face from the picture Grace kept with her .
" Because , I am inside of you , " Aubrey said .
" Inside of me ? " Grace asked .
" Yes , you are apart of me and so I can see you like this whenever I feel the need and when you are standing infront of a mirror . " Aubrey said .
" I understand , but why now and not before ? " Grace asked .
" Because , you need me more now than you did back then . " Aubrey said .
" I ' ve always needed you , ever since the day I found out about my family , I wanted and needed you here to guide me . " Grace said .
" That maybe , but before you were satisfied with just having your father around to help , but it was until you started growing into an adult and started changing that you realized how much you need your mother . Grace , I understand how hard its been for you losing me , it was hard enough knowing that I was having to leave you and Chris behind and that I wouldn ' t be able to hold you for along time , but I knew I was leaving you in good hands , in your father ' s care and I knew you would have strong people to help the both of you along the way . But , what was unfair to you was those people taken you away from him and as time moved on you wondered if you would ever find real peace and one day you found that peace and have continued to fight against those who would take your friends into the same darkness you had been even at the risk of your own well being . " Aubrey said .
" I thought it was what you wanted , for me to protect my family . " Grace said .
" All I ' ve ever wanted for you was for you to be happy and well loved and that ' s exactly what you are baby . " Aubrey said .
" And all of the other stuff , protecting the family , keep my promise , and helping dad when he needs it ? " Grace asked .
" It makes me proud of who you ' ve become and trust me your father needs quite a bit of help sometimes to keep everything straight . " Aubrey winked as Chris walked in the office and nearly dropped what he was holding when he saw his late wife in his mirror .
" Aubrey ? " Chris asked .
" You see he ' s still the crazy Wildcat . " Aubrey smiled at Chris .
" That won ' t change . " Grace said .
" I thought you liked the crazy part of me ? " Chris asked .
" I always did , its what made you stronger and kept you going , I know its been hard trying to keep it together for so long especially after losing Grace for a short while , but you did well . " Aubrey said .
" I had help . " Chris said .
" I know and I ' m happy that you moved on and was able to find someone who would take care of you . I am also glad that Cowboy brother of your ' s was able to pull you out of trouble at times , too , Christopher . " Aubrey said making Chris blush at her using his full name in front of Grace .
" Christopher ? " Grace asked .
" Sshh , " Chris said patting Grace on the head .
" You ' ve done good with Grace . " Aubrey said turning to walk away .
" Wait , you are just going to leave again ? " Grace asked .
" Little one , I don ' t have much time . " Aubrey said .
" But , this is the first time I ' ve had to spend time with you and I don ' t want to lose you again . " Grace said .
" You won ' t lose me as long as you don ' t lose yourself , remember I am apart of you , my little Grace . " Aubrey said .
" Mom , " Grace said started to cry .
" Sshh , I am always right her . " Aubrey said touching Grace ' s heart as the little one felt the touch and smiled .
" I understand , mom , " Grace said .
" My smart girl , " Aubrey said and then she started singing Grace ' s Lullaby as Aubrey disappeared .
Hush now - my story
Close your eyes and sleep
Waltzing the waves
Diving the deep
Stars are shining bright
The wind is on the rise
Whispering words
Of long lost lullabies
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll sing the song of the sea
I had a dream last night
And heard the sweetest sound
I saw a great white light
And dancers in the round
Castles in the sand
Cradles in the trees
Don ' t cry - I ' ll see you by and by
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll sing the song of the sea
Rolling , rolling , rolling . . .
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the Moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We ' ll be sailing free
Oh won ' t you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We ' ll sing the song of the sea
" Grace ? " Chris asked .
" You were right about her being our angel and that she has always watched over us , dad . " Grace said putting her good arm around her dad .
" I love you , Grace , and I am so proud of who you are and what you ' ve done since this Biohazard/Trifecta mess started baby . If you didn ' t act as calm and quickly as you did today then something bad would of happened to Debra and Talia , baby . " Chris said .
" We do all that we can to protect the family , right dad ? " Grace asked .
" Always , " Chris said proud of his daughter .
