**Desserea's P.O.V.**

I run away from them in tears. I knew this was going to happen. It's not like I planned for this to happen. Hot tears melt my cheeks as they swipe down my face. I find myself back in the garden that the man in the car was at. An owl coos near me, as I sit down on that exact same bench. This bench has been the spot were I can let go. Even as a kid, I've always come here when I needed to be away or just let go. The wood is now old and cracking leaving splinters every now and then, but it's still one of my favorite places to be. When I was really little, I spent a lot of time coming to the hospital. Sometimes when we'd have to say the night I would sneak out with my blanket and sleep out here. I've faced my worst demons, and met my best angels here. This garden is where I learned to hold in your emotions when your around people, and to let them go when your alone.

More tears run down my face, as I face my back towards the left side of the bench. My hair presses to my cheeks and I can feel that my eyes are red from crying. I don't think I've cried this much in my whole life.

"Des?" a voice startles me. I remain silent and don't move. Heavy foot steps come closer to me. Next thing I know, somebody has say down next to me. "Baby, I'm not mad at you." yep, it's Cam.

He reaches for my shoulder, but I tug away. Cameron nestles his mouth by my ear and starts to whisper," Please talk.".

"I'm so screwed up," I mutter.

"What was that?" he asks, leaning his face closer to my head.

"I'm screwed up okay! I'm just a disaster that's waiting to explode!" I reveal my face and wipe my eyes. Black smudges from my mascara leaves a coating on my fingers.

Cameron presses his hands to my cheeks," Babe, your not a disaster.".

"Your right, I'm a mess."

"A beautiful mess," he lets out a small chuckle and wipes thumbs across my cheeks. "You look so cute when you cry," he compliments me.

"But if I hadn't dated Damian in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess. He was a good guy at first, but then he got involved," I pause, remembering what I'm not supposed to mention.

"Involved in what?" Cameron like eyes with me. Staring down, I slowly shake my head and mutter," Nothing.".

"Des, is there something your not telling me?"

"No, I just don't like to talk about Damian. Especially at a time like this," hiding my past is all I want to do.

"Why didn't you tell me about the baby?" he asks softly.

"I found out this morning," I gulp. "And I was going to tell you, but I didn't know how to tell you." I look away from him and turn my head to the opposite side.

"Hey, I'm not mad or angry at you. I'm happy, and I can't wait to see our baby," he smiles.

"It's just protecting the baby from Damian will be hard." I look down at my feet.

"I will do everything I can to protect our baby from him," he places his hands on my stomach and smiles. Cameron plants his plump lips onto mine and smiles under the kiss.

"Why do you always come here when you want to be alone?" we release and he looks around.

"I came here a lot as a kid, and every time I wanted to be alone. For some reason, I felt comfortable here."

"You came here a lot when you were younger?"

"It's a long story and I really don't wanna talk about it, lets just go back inside." I stand up and lace Cameron's fingers with mine. We walk back over to everyone and wait for the doctor to come out. Not much longer after that, Nash comes back. He had been gone for a while.

"Nash, what's wrong?" Cameron stands up and walks to Nash, who's head is leaning down.

"The heart they were gonna give Hayes failed, so Rosalie have up hers f-for him." his blood shot eyes start to water.

"Wait, she died?" Cameron asks.

Nash bites down on his lip and nods. Not even a minuet later, the doctor comes out. "Mr. and Mrs. Dallas, please come here," he directs us towards him. Cameron and I step towards him. My palm get sweaty as Cam squeezes it tightly.

"Your daughter, Eleanor, is fine," a huge sigh of relief releases from my mouth and I give Cameron a big hug. He strokes my hair and sniffles. "We were able to save her in time, and her health won't be affected.".

"Thank the heavens," I sigh into Cameron's shoulder.

"Can we go see her?" Cameron asks the doctor after we hug.

"Yes," we go into the room, and see our baby girl sleeping like a rock. We sit down next to her, trying not to wake her.

"I love you Ellie," I kiss her forehead. Cameron does the same and we exit the room and head for Nash's. Hayes got released and comes with us.

Ashton, Hayes, Cameron, and I sleep in the living room.The Jack's and Alandra sleep in the guest room, and Nash and Grace sleep in their room. Cameron tangles his legs with mine in his sleep. Everyone's asleep, but me. I need to go do something, now. I slowly detangle myself from Cameron and leave the house.
