It's been a while since I've seen my family. Every second that I'm gone I feel I'm dead inside. I haven't felt Evan move since the day I left. I am terrified that I killed him and I'm carrying a dead baby inside me. Liam I never thought that he would say that to me. My only son said he was happy that his father cheated on me.

I feel horrible that he thinks that of me. My girls, my Leía and Rhea, I hate the fact that I left my princesses alone. My Rhea, my beautiful Rhea, I know she is suffering but it's for her own good that she stays away from me. I mean I did kill her brother, Aaron. I am always to blame.

As a matter of fact maybe that's why my parents didn't mind that I had gone with my aunt. They wanted me to be a doctor and now I planned things my way and this is the result. I walked across town with a shawl over my head. I wouldn't want people to recognize me, that's when I look at many stores and they were putting down Christmas Decorations.

I can't believe it's the day after Christmas and I had spent it alone. And this was Baby Belle'a first Christmas and I had to ruin hers as well. God why am I even here on this earth? I went and take out the money I had taken out from an ATM miles away from here and looked for something to eat. The reason why I did this is that I didn't want anyone tracking me, that's why I slept in different hotels, but my money was starting to run out. I didn't want to waste more when it was going towards Killian's medical expenses.

I continue to walk down one of the main streets and I caress my belly. I wanted to know my baby was alive but there was no way to go to the doctor and not be recognized. I decided to go to a local cafe, maybe if I drink some orange juice it might wake the baby up.

I get there and I order the orange juice and a small muffin. Once they give me my order I walked down to one of the small bridges and sat at the edge. I started to drink the orange juice as I looked down at the crashing waves below. I moved my belly and nothing, no movement came from Evan. No I can't lose Evan and Killian this year.

My heart hurt. I was in tears. I looked to my right and I see a man standing at the edge of the bridge. But I can't help but think he looks like someone I know. And by the looks of it, it seems that he wants to jump. I looked down at the rocky waters and gasped. I quickly got up. "Sir..." I said and slowly walked up to him. "I don't care who you are but don't come any closer, I will jump." I sigh and put my hands up.

"Alright, I get it, I won't come any closer." He nods. "What's your name?" He sighs. "Gideon." I smile. "Gideon that's a very nice name, means a great warrior am I wrong?" He smiles. "Yes it is." I smile. "Um sir what is troubling you?" I ask taking a couple of steps towards him. He points at me and gasps. "No don't get close to me I will jump." I nod.

"Ok tell me this before I let you jump can you tell me what happened to you that makes you want to jump?" He sighs then sits down. "Well my father died in an accident when I was a baby then my mother abandoned me." I gasp. "I am so sorry." He nods. "But I thought my real mother was the woman that had adopted me." I gasp. "Who was this woman?" He sighs. "Fiona."

"I've been working literally as her slave since that day, she's always hitting me, and I never understood why she would do that to her son until one night I found out that I wasn't her son." I nod. "She took me away from my 19 year old mother." I gasp. "After I found that out I received a beating that night because I had gone through mom's stuff, this was two days ago." I gasp.

"I had to make a run for it, I couldn't be living with a woman who didn't love me." I sigh. "That's why you wanted to jump you were tired of all that abuse?" He nods. I sigh. "Well how about I give you something to look forward to?" He gives me a weird look. "Well I do know a lot of people maybe I can help find her." He nods and smiles. "Do you know your real mother's name?" He nods. "Lacy." I gasp.

"What?" He nods. "I have her picture here." He then hands me a picture of my best friend. I gasp. No wonder I had a feeling he looked like someone, he looks like Lacy. "You're the son she lost?" He gave me a baffled look. "Umm I'm sorry.." I chuckle. "No it's just I know your mother, but when she gave birth to you the doctors said you were dead." He gasps.

"How do you know her?" I smile. "Lacy she is my best friend, my sister, I've known her since we were kids." He gasps. "You know my mother?" I nod. "Oh God may I hug you?" He nods. "Oh my goodness Lacy will be thrilled to know you're alive." He backs away and I can see tears in his eyes.

"Come come, let's go back to my hotel and I can..." I start to groan. "What is it?" "Umm my baby, I think.." He gasps. "I didn't catch your name?" I smile. "Emma." He nods. "Miss Emma, maybe its due to the altitude, and have you eaten?" I smile. "I just had a little bit of orange juice." He gives me a straight face, the same face Lacy gives me. I laugh.

"That's not food." I nod. "I know it's just..." He then picks me up. "Where's the hotel Miss?" I laugh. "Gideon you don't have to." He shakes his head. "How can I not help the woman who saved my life and is going to reunite me with my mother after so many years?" I smile.

We get to the hotel and I gasp at who I see at the lobby, it was Rhea and Damon. Gideon puts me down and I scream her name. "Rhea?" She gasps and runs towards me. "Mom!" She screams then hugs me. "Oh my sweet baby girl," I say and caress her head. "Mommy I can't believe I found you, well Damon did but I found you." I was crying like crazy.

I back away and dried my tears. "How'd you find me?" I ask Damon as he makes his way towards me. "You're not that hard to track, I know how you are Emma." I laugh. "And who's this?" He asks as he points towards Gideon. "Lacy's son." He gasps. "Lacy, Lacy?" I nod. That's when Rhea pulls on my arms.

"We can talk in the car, we have to go back home." I sigh. "Sweetie, I can't go back, go home and make sure your father is taken care of." She sighs. "Mom, Dad is dying." I nod. "I know." She shakes her head. "No as in he wants to say goodbye, he wasn't doing so well, that's why I came to look for you." I gasp. "He's on his last breath mom." My heart broke.

"Oh God what have I done?" Rhea pushes me towards the exit. "Damon let's go, and you too Gideon." We all nod and went inside the car. Gideon went in the front as Rhea and I sat in the back. I look at Rhea and she hands me a small box. "Merry Late Christmas mommy." I smile. "Oh sweetie." She smiles.

I open it and it's a super mom and daughter bracelet. "You are super mom, mommy." Tears filled my eyes. "Oh my sweet sweet Rhea." She smiles. "Do you like it?" I smile and kiss her forehead. "I love it." She smiles. I sigh. "Please forgive me honey, I..." She then grabs my hand. "It's ok mom, I get it, just pray to God that you make it in time to say goodbye to Dad." I nod. "We will make it." That's when I felt a kick.

I scream. "Ahhhhhh Evan is alive." She gives me a weird look. "Oh my God, yes my baby is alive." I then caress my belly. "Don't worry my little prince, we are going home, we are going back to the place where we belong."
