February 15th, 2017...

Zoe sighed as she stretched a little bit and saw in the mirror in the bathroom of Blayke's room that her baby bump grew a tiny bit more.

Not much, but if she showed someone, it was noticeable. She squealed quietly and was excited to be pregnant.

But her food cravings weren't easing up on her, since she was starving and it was only 7 o'clock in the morning.

"Time for an early breakfast." She whispered as she knew she was definitely not going to school that day, neither was Quin.

She left the room with Quin's sweater over her and saw Blayke sound asleep. She smiled and went to kiss his head. She was glad he was alive.

Without her big brother, she would've died too.

"Be back, big brother." She whispered as she smoothed out his dreads and then left the room quietly, without him even stirring a bit. She walked to the counter, seeing a nice smiley nurse there.

"Hi, if my brother wakes up, can you tell him I just went to go get something to eat?" Zoe motioned to her slowly growing stomach.

"The baby is always hungry, so I need to feed him earlier than whatever time breakfast is around here."

The nurse giggled. "Of course, I'll let him know. Be back by 9 though because that's when breakfast trays come around and we already ordered an extra one for you. So you and your little one can get extra food today."

Zoe smiled. "Yay! Okay, I'll be back before then. If my husband comes in, please tell him the same."

"I will, Mrs. Lockhart." The nurse gave her a little wave before Zoe went towards the elevator of ICU and stepped inside when the doors opened. She pressed the "lobby" button so she could head to the cafeteria.

She hummed to the elevator music and danced around a little, happy as a ladybug...well, she was happy until the doors slid open and she gasped at who was smirking on the other side.

"Bill?"

...

Quin walked into the hospital not even 10 minutes later and went up straight to ICU floor and walked towards Blayke's part of the hall.

He tried texting and calling both Blayke and Zoe , but no answer on either phone. Blayke was probably asleep still, but Zoe's Slap status said she was up...so what was happening? Where was his wife? When he passed the front desk, the nurse called him over.

"Yes?" Quin asked in question, wanting to get to Blayke's room.

The nurse smiled sweetly. "Your wife wanted me to tell you that she went down to eat an early breakfast, but she'll be back in a little bit before the breakfast trays come so she can have double breakfast."

Quin chuckled. "Her pregnancy is taking it's toll on her hunger needs. Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'll be in her brother's room."

The nurse nodded and he walked to Blayke's room, knocking before entering. He saw Blayke snoring on the bed and shook his head.

"Same ole Blayke." He saw his wife's cell phone on the couch she had to sleep on for a few hours and checked it.

Apparently it looks to have died overnight. Oh well. He brought her the phone charger, just in case, since he figured that was the issue of why she wasn't answering the phone.

When he heard a groan, he looked over at Blayke, who was stirring awake.

"Well, well, well...sleeping beauty has awaken."

"Shut up." Blayke grumbled as he yawned. "Ow...where's my sis?"

"She's eating breakfast downstairs." Quin told him, poking at his IV.

"Stop that!" Blayke told him. "Anyways, why aren't you with her?"

"I just came up right now and the nurse told me." Quin told him.

"And I was just checking this thing out." He motioned to the IV. "Chill."

Blayke rolled his eyes. "Whatever..."

Ring...ring...

"Cell phones off in the hospital, Quin ." Blayke teased him as Quin ignored him and looked at his phone. "Who is it?"

"Bill." Quin groaned. "Oh great, what the hell does he want?" He sighed and answered the phone, putting it to his ear.

"What, Bill? It's not a good time."

"Quin , it's me."

Quin almost dropped the phone in shock as he had to grip the handles of Blayke's bed for support. " Zoe ?" He breathed out.

"Quin, you have to help me, Bill's lost his fuck mind! He's insane! I don't even recognize him anymore!"

"Slow down, baby, where are you?" Quin asked, fearing for his wife's life.

Blayke forced himself to sit up in the bed, ignoring his pain.

"Bill's house! Please help!"

Suddenly Quin heard a door slam open and Zoe screamed. He heard Bill screaming at her and the line went dead.

Quin looked to Blayke with anger and determination.

"Call 9-1-1. Tell them to go to Bill Shapiro's home. Zoe's there. Bill has her."

Blayke grabbed Quin's arm before he ran out of the room.

"You better save my sister, or so help me God, I'll never forgive you." Tears brimmed Blayke's eyes. "Please."

Quin nodded. "I'm not leaving that house without her." With that said, Blayke let his brother-in-law go and Quin was gone.
