Stevie spotted the sweet nurse that spoke her in the car on the way to the facility in the hallway

"I'm getting married tomorrow! Can you help me look beautiful?" She asked

"You don't need any help with that!" The nurse smiled, "I'm Abigail!"

"Nice to meet you! I'm Stevie obviously" she laughed

"I've waited to marry him for so long now"

"Congratulations! Do you have a dress picked out?"

"No not yet...could you help me?"

"Of course! Just tell me what to do!"

"I've got a small selection of dresses..." she pulled Abigail into the room

"Let's see what you've got!" Abigail clapped her hands together

Stevie spent the next hour going through her dresses and trying them on for Abigail, finally they chose one

"Your going to look so beautiful!" Abigail said, trying to push out of her mind something she heard Lindsey say to himself as he left earlier

"Thank you!" Stevie smiled happily, looking at herself in the mirror, "Oh I can't wait! He's going to make me all better! I know he is!" Stevie said happily

"I really hope he does sweetheart, I can see how much you love him!"

"Oh he's my world!" Stevie gushed

Abigail was most definitely panicking inside now

"You look flushed, is everything alright?"Stevie asked her

"Yes, I'm fine honey..." she smiled

"Would you do me a favor?" Stevie asked

"Of course?"

"Apparently I'm not allowed in the garden, would you pick me some flowers for my bouquet?"

"I'd be honoured to! I'll do it first thing tomorrow so they are fresh!"

"Thank you so much! I'm so excited," Stevie squealed

"I hope it all works out!" Abigail gave her a hug

"Thank you Abigail!" Stevie squeezed her tightly

"Right I need to get back to my rounds now sweet! I'll be back for the big day tomorrow!"

"Thank you!" Stevie closed the door behind her and dialed Lindsey's number

"Hello?"

"Baby! I have everything picked out for tomorrow! I'm so excited!"

"That's great"

"I have the sweetest nurse helping me! She's precious!"

"That's nice"

"Do you have everything ready?!"

"Uh yeah sure"

"Is everything alright, baby?"

"Yeah, everything's fine" he answered, Stevie suddenly heard a baby gurgle

"Linds, what was that?"

"Umm, David..."

"Really? He's there!" She said happily

"Yeah, he's on my hip"

"Oh! Tell him that Mommy loves him!"

"I will..."

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Nothing..." All of a sudden she heard another voice

"Baby, who's that?"

"Jen's sister. She brought David to visit."

"Oh okay!"

"Come to mommy sweetheart!" She heard the other woman say close to the phone

"Lindsey...?"

"Yeah?"

"She's mommy?"

"Umm, she's just around him a lot, we didn't want to confuse him"

"Oh-well that makes sense!" She tried to be cheerful

"He'll still call me mommy right?" She asked

"I think Stephie is cute."

"What...?"

"Stephie is something cute that he could call you," Lindsey repeated

"Not mommy?"

"I think that's what he should call Lisa," He said

"Linds...he's my baby boy...I breast fed him everyday..."

"I know, Stevie, but legally he belongs to Lisa."

Lindsey could hear her crying on the other end

"Stevie?"

"What?"

"You okay?"

"No...

"What's the matter?"

"What do you think is the matter?"

"Stevie, I'm sorry."

He heard her crying more, and then she squealed in pain

"Stevie?" He worried

"I need to go..."

"Don't hurt yourself."

"To late..." she whispered

"What did you do?"

"Linds..." he could tell she was in pain

"Stevie, what did you do?"

"I...I just pulled my nail off..."

"Stevie, you have to calm down."

"Linds, there's blood everywhere...I'm going to be sick"

"I'm going to call the facility and get help." He hung up

"No Lindsey!" But he was gone already

Minutes later Abigail came in and saw her bleeding finger. "Honey?"

"I don't know what happened..." she cried

"Let's get it cleaned up! We can't have you injured on your wedding day!"

"He won't let me be mommy..."

"You two will have your own baby soon! It's all going to work out if you love each other!"

"He doesn't want one...he said he's worried they will turn out crazy like me"

"I don't think you're crazy," Abigail shook her head

"He does, and he won't let me have a baby..." she cried

"Would you like for me to talk to him?"

"Would you?" She asked

"Of course!"

Abigail sat on the bed and phoned Lindsey's number

"Hello?" Lindsey answered

"Hello, this is Abigail, I'm a nurse at Stevie's facility. Do you have a moment?"

"Of course, is she okay?"

"Yes, we got her finger all bandaged up! I would like to talk with you about something though...."

"Sure, go ahead"

"Will she be in your care after your marriage, or are you planning on letting her remain here?"

"Umm...I think it would be better if she remain with you"

"Will you be by later today to be listed as a person who has permission to take her out of the facility whenever she chooses?"

"I was going to ask her mother if she would be that person"

"Well I need you to come sign so she can leave the facility tomorrow for your wedding."

"Can I do it tomorrow?"

"First thing in the morning"

"Okay" he was annoying Abigail a little bit

"Please Mr. Buckingham, don't lead her on. She doesn't deserve anything but the best," Abigail begged as Stevie was in the bathroom

"I don't know what your talking about"

"I heard what you said as you left earlier" she told him

"And what exactly was that?" Lindsey asked

"You said, I'm sorry Stephanie, but I can't"

"I said no such thing".

"I heard you! Don't lie!"

"Excuse me but I don't think this is an appropriate conversation or any of your business."

"It is when she isn't stable! She told me earlier you are her whole world"

"Good for her." He hung up

Abigail couldn't believe he just said that, Stevie came out of the bathroom

"What did he say?"

"He said he'll see you tomorrow"

"Oh Abigail, thank you!"

"Your welcome!"

Stevie hugged her and tried to get some sleep for the night

She dreamed of what she hoped would be the best day of her life

Lindsey adored her and cried when he saw her in her dress, thinking of his own vows off of the top of his head to please her

Everything was perfect, and nothing went wrong, David was even there

She awoke the next morning and couldn't stop smiling.

Abigail came in not to much later

"You ready for your big day?"

"Yes!" Stevie said, arranging her outfit on the bed

"Right you go and shower, and I'll go pick the flowers!"

"Thanks!" Stevie smiled, jogging into the bathroom

Abigail picked the perfect flowers from the garden and went back to Stevie, stopping at reception on the way

"Has Mr Buckingham arrived yet?"

"No? Should he be?"

"He's marrying Stevie today, and I told him to be here early to sign her day release form"

"Sorry, I haven't seen him."

"Thank you, I'm sure he'll be here" she said and went back to Stevie

She was just getting out of the shower, "Can you bandage my finger again?"

"Of course!" Abigail took some clean bandages and wrapped her finger up again, so it was clean

"Thank you for everything, Abigail. The flowers are beautiful!"

"Your welcome! Now let's get you into this dress!"

Stevie smiled brightly and slipped it on, having Abigail zip it up for her

"Right, put on the boots!" She told Stevie

Stevie sat down and slipped it on. "Abigail, I feel selfish saying this....but I don't have any make up."

"Well, lucky I got you this then!" Abigail handed Stevie a small make up bag filled with everything she would need for a full face

"Thank you so much!" Hugging Abigail tightly

"Here, I'll do it for you!"

Within no time, Stevie's hair and make up was done, and she was all set

"Thank you! I guess all that's left to do is sit and wait!"

"Yep!"

"Can I wait in reception?"

"Of course! Follow me!" Abigail said

Walking down stairs, reception was still empty, giving a look to the receptionist, who checked Stevie wasn't looking before she quickly shook her head

"Stevie, sit right here. I'm going to make a phone call."

"Okie dokie!"

Abigail went to the phone and called Lindsey's apartment

"Hello?" He answered

"Lindsey! Where are you?" She asked quietly

"Home, fucking my fiancé."

"I hope to God you are joking!" Abigail said through her teeth

Lindsey chuckled, "Tell her I'll be there tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Why tomorrow?"

"I'm busy today."

"Doing what?"

"I told you already."

"You can't seriously be doing that right now..."

"Suit yourself."

"What?"

"Believe what your like."

"Lindsey, she's all dressed up for you...she looks so beautiful, she's so happy..."

"Fuck, let me finish and I'll be on the way."

"I don't know if your being serious...are you actually coming?" Abigail asked

"Yes."

She heard him chuckle as he hung up, so she wasn't so sure

Stevie looked her way, "Was that Lindsey?"

"Yeah, he's running late, but he's on his way"

"Thank you so much for this! I can handle everything from here!"

"I'd like to stay with you"

"No that's okay! I'm sure that you have patients to see!"

"It's my day off today honey"

"Oh I feel bad! You came here just to help me on your day off!"

"It's no trouble at all, I wanted to be here more than anything"

"Thank you!"

They waited and waited for Lindsey, but there was no sign

Finally nightfall came, "Thank you for waiting with me," Stevie smiled softly. "I'm sure he just got held up."

"Yeah, I'm sure he did..." Abigail squeezed Stevie's hand

"Want me to drive you to him?" She asked Stevie

"No, it's late. Thank you for helping me though." Stevie hugged her, "I'll be going back to my room."

Walking back to her room Stevie sat on the bed and took her boots off

She began to feel worthless and embarrassed, everyone played her for a fool!

Taking her boots and running back downstairs she just caught Abigail

"Actually, can you drive me to him please?"

"Of course! Right this way," informing the front desk to where she was taking Stevie and driving her to Lindsey apartment

Stevie still had her key so she would let herself in when she got there, she was worried he was hurt

"I'll go up by myself," Stevie said, climbing the stairs to his apartment and letting herself in

Looking for Lindsey she went into the bedroom, then wished with everything she hadn't

He was in bed with whom she assumed to be Lisa, fucking her like there was no tomorrow

"Linds..."

"Shit," he rolled off of Lisa, pulling the sheet around them, "Stevie, what are you doing here?!"

"I was worried you were hurt...obviously not" she wiped her eyes furiously

"Lindsey, who is this?" Lisa asked

"This is Stevie...she's my ex girlfriend, remember the one I told you about?"

"Ex girlfriend? I'm your fiancé..." Stevie whispered

"Um I think you'll find that's me..." Lisa said holding her hand up

Stevie looked down at her own bare hand, "Lindsey...but we made love yesterday?"

"I fucked you to shut you up..."

"I told you that you could leave after I gave you a blow job," Stevie replied, "but you said no."

"I felt bad..."

"But I'm in love with you."

"That's your issue honey" Lisa said

"Sorry to inconvenience you," Stevie said, letting herself out.

She was about to close the door when she heard David, from his crib in the living room

She quietly slipped back in and picked him up, cradling him against her

"Hey buddy, it's mommy, remember me?"

David quieted down and nuzzled at her breast. She assumed that he hadn't forgotten her and probably hadn't been breast fed in ages. It didn't seem like Lindsey or Lisa were coming

Looking at the door she sat down on the chair, and pulled the front of her dress down, within seconds he had latched on

"I've missed you," she stroked his head, closing her eyes

Grabbing onto her finger he looked at her face, she saw a smile around his mouth

"I love you, David."

He nuzzled into her even further

Stevie rocked him side to side and rubbed his back

Suddenly the bedroom door opened

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"He was crying, I just wanted to see him!"

"How dare you!"

"I haven't seen him in months. I didn't mean any harm."

"Stop feeding my son!" Lisa shouted

"He's hungry. Just let him finish and I will leave."

"Mommy's just feeding you aren't I" she smiled at him

"You are not his mother! I am!" Lisa yelled

"I was his mother long before you! I took care of him from a week old!" Stevie said

"You took care of him for less than a month! I am legally his mother! My sister birthed him!"

"I fed him! I looked after him! Mine and Lindsey's daughter loved him as a brother"

"And that gives you the right to waltz back in here and breast feed him?!"

"He was crying! Look how he looks at me! Plus you two were to busy fucking to notice"

"Well I'm sure that you know that Lindsey is a stallion," she smirked

"Yeah, he made love to me yesterday, and before that countless times, he even gave me a baby"

"Which you obviously don't have anymore."

"That wasn't my fault..."

"I didn't say it was. Please leave my home, David is finished." Taking the baby from her

David started to howl, Lisa not being able to settle him, suddenly Stevie snatched him back and he stopped crying

"Let him go!" Lisa attacked her without even thinking

Stevie fell backwards and stumbled to the ground

She managed to keep David from hitting the floor, "What is wrong with you?! You could have hurt him!" Stevie yelled

"Oh, world's best mother speaking here"

"You pushed me! You could have killed him!"

"Actually I was trying to get him away from your psycho ass!"

"I love him!" Stevie screamed, cradling him against her

"He's my son!" Lisa screamed back

Lindsey came walking in, seeing Stevie on the floor with David and Lisa standing over them

"What the hell is going on?"

"She pushed me while I have David!" Stevie cried

"I was trying to get him away from her"

"I was just feeding him!"

"Lindsey, she was breast feeding our son!" Lisa told him

"He was hungry!"

"Get out!" Lisa took the baby from her and put him down, then grabbing a handful of Stevie's hair, dragged her across the flood

"Ouch! Let me go!" Stevie screamed

"Lindsey help me..." she screamed and cried

"Lisa! Let her go!" Lindsey demanded

Due to the constant pulling, Lisa pulled a huge chunk of Stevie's hair out

"Shit!" Stevie cried

Something in Lindsey snapped at seeing her in such pain

"Baby?" Lindsey kneeled beside her

His heart broke as he watched a crying Stevie try and put her missing hair back on her head

Stevie started to hit herself in the head, becoming distraught.

"Baby...! Baby stop!" He tried to take her hands to stop her

"No!"

Pulling her face up he brought his mouth to hers, to stop her violent movements

"Lindsey, I love you!" Stevie cried

"I love you too, Steph"

Stevie kissed him and held him tightly

"Lisa, give me David!" After asking a few times she finally passed him to Lindsey, who brought him between himself and Stevie

"Hey...who's this?" He baby talked

"He remembers me," Stevie said as David wrapped his hand around her finger

"Of course he does"

"Please, please help me, Lindsey. I can't do this anymore!"

Looking into her scared eyes He nodded

"Alright, baby"

"I have to get back to Abigail. Please come see me tomorrow."

"I will, and I'll bring David, okay?"

"Please do!"

Giving her another kiss, Lindsey helped her off the floor

By this time Lisa had already rushed out

"I'm sorry she hurt you..."

"I probably deserved it."

"God no, you didn't..." he took her face

"I've deserved all of this!"

"Shhh" he soothed her as she began to cry again

"I'm so stupid!" She hit herself

"Stevie, you need to stop hitting yourself, your going to end up killing yourself"

"I hate myself!"

"I hate myself too"

Stevie stood shakily, "I have to go."

"I'll be there tomorrow!"

"Please do! I love you so much," she kissed him

"I love you too, my sweet girl"

Stevie kissed David and closed the door behind her. Knowing that her future looked bright
