The men had arrived at the station with nun Helga. All the constables saw, and gave her a look.

"McNabb, take sister Helga, to the cells"

"Sir" he says as he takes her

As William prepares to walk to his office, Henry sits up, "detective, sir. You have a message from Dr. Ogden" and hands him the piece of paper, that reads, call me, when you get to the station.

"Thank you, Henry" and walks into his office and closes the door, with a loud bam that makes the constables, including Watts, Thomas and George jump.

Brackenreid looks at George as he takes off his coat, "can't blame him. I saw Susannah"

"How is she, sir?" Watts asked as he leans against the door

"I can't describe it. I just want to grab my glove and take see how the sister likes it."

"Is there anything, I can do, sir?" George asked

"Just look out for Murdoch, when he is ready to interrogate the sister. But, take Henry and McNabb to the school and search the room for any other children. As well, shut down the school, until further notice"

"Sir" George says and leaves with the constables

Watts cleared his throat, "anything, you want of me?"

"Look into this sister Helga's past Watts."

"You think, she may have killed a child, before…other than Susannah's friend Tommy?"

"Timothy, Watts, and I believe she has"

"I'll get right to it" he says, as he awkwardly turns and leaves, while grabbing a pretzel out of his pocket and eats it.

"Bloody hell, I need a scotch" Brackenreid said as he gets up, when he hears a scream from Murdoch's office, "Murdoch?!" as he runs into his office and sees him sobbing in his hands, "Murdoch?"

William looks up at him in tears, "her injuries have gotten worse. Julia…Julia hated to say it, but…Susannah may not make it through the night."

Thomas began crying and didn't care who saw and gave him a hug, "just, let it out. Let it out, me old mucker. Have faith, she will be alright"

William nodded, "I told Julia that, when nurse Sullivan suggested on another treatment that should help. But Julia…"

"She doesn't believe it work?"

William shook his head.

"Go to the hospital be with your wife and daughter."

"Sir, I need to interrogate sister Helga"

"No, that can wait till tomorrow. Go to the hospital, now. Don't worry about anything else. Susannah needs her daddy."

"Thank you, sir" he gets up from his desk, grabs his overcoat and hat, "I'll keep you updated, if anything changes"

"Same here, now go on. Our hearts are with the 3 of you"

"Thank you, sir" and he leaves the station house

It had been an hour, since William was at the hospital, as he held Susannah's hand praying this treatment will help her. Julia had gone to the cafeteria to get them some tea and sandwiches.

As she was on her way, she stopped at the clinics small chapel, got down on her knees and prayed, "dear God, it's me, Julia. I know it's been awhile, well more like 30 years since we talked. Since my mother died, when I lost my faith in you and gave it to science. 20 years ago, I gave my faith to William, but right now, I'm asking to give me faith. Please God, don't take my little girl away. She is our blessing and the only child I'll be giving to William. I'll do anything, for her to live. Want me to confess all my sins, I'll do it. Want me to become a Catholic, like William? I will. Please, I beg of you, don't take her away from us" with tears in her eyes, clutching on her locket that Susannah got her for Mother's Day, "please! Amen" and leaves the chapel and goes to the cafeteria.

As she returns to the room with the food, the scene she sees makes her smile. William was humming the same tune, he hummed to her the day they brought her home.

"That tune always, put her to sleep, when she was a baby" Julia said as she gave William his tea and sandwich

"I was telling her the story of the day she was born"

"I remember. You wanted to leave me, to find a hospital"

"You stopped me, by screaming in my face…and twisting my skin"

"It showed how much pain I was in"

"But I did a great job at delivering her"

She grabbed his face, "you, did so well, William. I wanted to stop and you encouraged me, that I just need to push one more time, and I heard her cry…the most beautiful sound in the world."

"Yes, is was" he said as they kissed

"Any change when I was gone?" She said as she sipped her tea

"No. Nurse Sullivan came by and said she's in God's hands now" he said with tears in his eyes

Julia nodded, "I went by the chapel, before going to the cafeteria"

William looked shocked, "Julia?"

"I prayed. I prayed to God, I'll do anything for her to be ok. I would confess my sins, become a catholic…and before you say anything, I didn't regret saying that to God. I truly meant it"

He looked at her and realized she was serious, "at least someone has faith in God right now" as he kissed Susannah's hand.

It was 11:00 at night, as the last of the staff had left for the night, except Nurse Sullivan, who decided to sleep in her office, in case the worse happens.

William had fallen asleep, in the chair, on the left side of Susannah's bed, still holding her hand.

Julia had dozed off as well, but had woken up, when she thought Susannah had said "mama." But it was just a dream. As she leaned over and began brushing her hair with her hand, and began humming "sleep my baby, on my bosom…"

As she continued humming the lullaby, and noticed Susannah's eyes began moving, and her hand was clutching onto William's hand.

"William, William, wake up" as she shakes him awake

"Mm, what?"

"Look at your hand"

He looks down and sees her hand clutching his, "Susannah, sweetheart, it's daddy"

"Susannah, my love…if you hear us, it's mama and daddy. Please, wake up, sweetheart. Let's see those beautiful blue eyes." Julia said leaning down

And just like that, her eyes open, "ma…ma….dadd…"

"Yes darling. It's us. Your safe at mommy's clinic" Julia said with tears in her eyes

"I…I…lied. Sis…Hel"

"Sweetheart, it's ok. We got her. Daddy arrested her. Grandpa Tom, Uncle George and Uncle Watts have her locked up at the station. She will never hurt you or any other child ever again"

"Is…is…Tim…is…he"

William and Julia look at each other, not knowing to say, as William said, "we got him out, too. You are such a brave girl for helping your friend. But right now, just rest, we won't leave your side"

She smiled and squeezed William's hand as she fell back to sleep.

She whispered in William's ear, "thank you, for saying that. I didn't know what to say and anything upsetting her, could make things worse." As she kissed his cheek
