Stefani heavily panted as she got into her final pose, hearing the last note of the song play.

Rain. On. Me.

All the dancers froze in their places. "Alright, that's a wrap for tonight." Said Stefani as she tried to catch her breath. All the dancer clapped, high-fiving each other, proud that they finished the day off strong. As all the dancers poured out of the room Ariana saw Stefani practically chugging down her water at a fast pace. The woman giggled to herself, she walked up behind Stefani, wrapping her arms around the blondes waist. Stefani's tense body relaxed. "Hi baby." Ariana softly whispered. Stefani smiled, "Hi darling." She laughed. Stefani turned around, locking eyes with Ariana. The blonde was completely lost in Ari's eyes. It made the brunette chuckle, she placed a soft kiss on Stefani's lips, "Your beautiful." She complimented. Stefani laughed, "Thank you darling." She said, accepting the compliment. "So, when do you want to tell Sarah and Elle? I mean this has gone on for almost a month, I don't like keeping this secret." Ariana asked. Stefani sighed, "I don't know. I mean, you told me what happened on the rooftop, and I think it's stressing Sarah out that I'm trying to get you two to be friends. You do realize even though you chose me to be your girlfriend, you also chose my world? And with that comes my children as well." Stefani questioned. Ariana nodded, "Of course. I would never take you away from them. I want to be apart of their lives, it's just tricky." Ariana said, trying to find the correct words to use. Stefani frowned, "I know. I don't like keeping this a secret either. I just need to find the right moment to tell them. My relationship with Elle is complicated, as you already know. And Sarah, she's just broken. She's frantically trying to fix herself." Stefani stressed. Ariana laid Stefani's head on her shoulder, "It's going to be okay. I promise. I'm right here with you, and I'm not going anywhere." Ariana assured as she soothingly rubbed circles up and down Stefani's back. "I love you." Stefani whispered. Ariana's face lit up,

"I love you too."

Stefani walked down the stairs with Ariana by her side as they both headed to the blonde's dressing room. "Y'know, I really think you should come home with me. Maybe we could ease into the conversation and tell the girls." Stefani suggested. "Are you sure? I mean I'd love to come over but I don't want to rush you into this." Stefani turned to Ariana, "Hey, it's okay. I want this." The girl reassured. Ariana placed a small kiss on Stefani's lips, "I know, I just, I want you. I want all of you but I can't have all of you, not yet." Ari mumbled. Stefani sadly smiled, "You've got me. I'm yours." She assured. Ariana playfully smirked, "Mine." She firmly said. Stefani giggled, she took Ariana's hand and walked into her dressing room. "Sarah? I'm back baby girl." Stefani called out.

No answer.

Stefani gave Ari a confused look. Ariana could see the confusion, "Sarah?" The brunette called out. Stefani walked into a separate room that was attached to her dressing room. She was beginning to become frantic. But nothing could prepare her for what she saw. Stefani let out a horrified scream as she saw her daughter laying on the ground unconscious. Ariana came running into the room, "Stefani, baby, what's wrong?" She worriedly asked. Stefani couldn't find the right words, she began to panic. She rushed over to Sarah, Ariana's eyes followed. The brunette gasped seeing the child on the floor. "Baby? Baby talk to me please." Stefani pleaded, tears streaming drown her face. Ariana rushed over to her. She placed two fingers on the side of Sarah's neck, searching for a pulse. "S-Stefani she's not breathing." Ariana freaked out. Stefani's heart stopped. A lump was stuck in her throat.

Sarah wasn't breathing.

Her daughter. One of the most important people in the world wasn't breathing. The person who kept Stefani going most days was unconscious, pale as can be. Stefani sobbed, letting out a painful cry. "A-ari my phone." Stefani croaked out. Ariana quickly got up, rushing to find Stefani's phone which was placed on top of her vanity, right where Sarah left it. She immediately dialed 911 rushing back over to Stefani and Sarah. The phone rang for what felt like an eternity before a female voice appeared on the other end. "911, what's your emergency." Ariana handed Stefani the phone after the blonde had signaled that she wanted to take it from the brunette. Stefani rambled on and on about her daughter, practically pleading for help. Ariana placed both of her hand on the centre of Sarah's chest, she didn't exactly trust herself but she could try. She interlocked her fingers together, straightening her arms, she began to give the teenager chest compressions. She pumped the girls chest at a fast pace, hoping for the girl to awaken. "C'mon Sarah, please wake up." Ariana pleaded, her sobs weakening her strength.
