*******************************

What is she doing in here? I thought to myself. She hasn't turned away from the door yet, it's like she's sneaking in here.

I put Serenity back into her car seat and put the blanket over her before addressing snickers.

As I stood up, she slowly turned around. I could barely see her, but I knew it was her by her body movement and figure.

"Snickers?" I could see her stop and visibly shake and curse herself.

"Yes?" She asked shakily.

Her voice sounded a bit off. It didn't have that same sass, or happy sound to it. Sounds like she's been choked up or punched in the throat really hard.

"Snickers, is that you?" I asked for clarification. I wasn't sure it was snickers, but then again I was.

"Yes it's me. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Why are you so far away, come closer." She didn't so I started to walk a little closer to her, but very slowly.

"No, stop. Fee, please don't." She stopped me before I could get a look at her face. I frowned and stepped a little closer.

I covered my mouth with both of my hands as tears ran down my cheeks.

"Who did this to you snickers?"

Her face, it was bruised badly. She had hand prints around her neck, a black left eye, bruises on her cheeks and a busted nose and swollen up lip. I could even see the dry blood that was left from her lip.

She shook her head and looked down. I ran to her and hugged her. She hugged me back and wept into my shoulder. I cried to.

When we pulled apart I walked her to the babies. She didn't dare to look at them, which brought even more tears to my eyes.

Who could have done something like this to my sister?. What sick bastard did this to her?. How could they?

"Snickers, why are you here?"

After about a minute or two, when she calmed down only about a little, she was still crying badly and hiccuping every time she said a word, she spoke.

"Because Eric told me he needed help with the...your babies I was not about to let them starve...I'm so sorry. I had to..."

"I--it's okay. You're okay now. We are going to get out of this together. I promise. Michael's going to save us. He promised." I rubbed her back as she continued to cry.

"Who did this to you? Please tell me."

"Eric," I looked at her confused, and she continued.

"Eric slapped me hard a couple of times and r-r-raped me" she squeezed my sore wrist and I winced in pain. I realized what she just said and stopped rocking us back and forth, side to side.

"He did what?"

"He threatened to kill you if I did not cooperate, so I had to. I made sure he did not harm or hurt you and the kids in any way."

I hugged her.

"But he did hurt us. He was going to rape me, he raped you, he hurt all of us in a way. He even hurt the babies."

"What do you mean?"

"I couldn't stop him, even if I tried. I was tied down tightly to the chair and I just sat there and watched. I couldn't do anything but cry."

"What did he do?"

"He beat 'em. He continuously hit Serenity on her thighs, and now they are red, swollen and purple. Emily's as well. He slapped Emily pretty hard on her face and she cried her lungs out. It hurt so bad to witness that. Now she has a bruise on her face."

Snickers gasped back tears.

Slowly the door opens and Eric enters the room with the formula in a plastic bag.

I stood up immediately and blocked his view of the girls. He will not, in my presence, touch or hurt my girls again.

"Eric, she doesn't have a bottle." I spoke up, ending the cynic glare he was giving Snickers.

"I brought one. Move so I can see that the babies are still here." I stepped aside and he walked up to them. He bent down and picked up Serenity.

"Give me my daughter please. I don't want you to hold her." I spoke lowly. I don't know what he is about to do to her, but I'm going to make sure he doesn't harm her in anyway.

"No. who told you to leave that room Monique?" He said as he stared at snickers. She looked up at him and gave him the finger, after spitting on his face.

He chuckled and wiped his face. He then put Serenity back into her car seat slowly and grabbed snickers by her throat.

"Did you just spit on me bitch??" He choked her harder. I ran up to them and tried to pull his fingers from around his grip on her neck.

"Eric, stop it!! Let her go you bitch!!" I angrily spat as I saw snickers give up fighting and her eyes roll to the back of her head. I start screaming and punching him hardly, and he let go.

She fell to the floor. I caught her before she could hit her head and went down and checked to see if she had a pulse. Once I found one I sighed in relief. She had a strong pulse. She just passed out.

I was snatched up by Eric and he pent me to the wall.

"What'd you call me?" Not being afraid of him, and tired of him thinking I'm afraid, I spoke up.

"I called you a low down dirty bitch who's not man enough to fight a man, instead he pusses out and hit women and babies. You're a coward, is what you are, and I'll be dammed if you ever touch anything else that's blood of mine. I'm not afraid of you. You don't scare me, and there's nothing more that you can do that hasn't already been done." I coughed up a glob of spit and spit it directly in his face.

He took ahold of my neck and slapped me hard. I didn't cry, no I didn't. Instead I fought back. I fought for what I wanted. And what I wanted was to go home to Michael. I wanted snickers to be okay, and most of all, I wanted Serenity and Emily to be okay.

So I fought. I fought for lives. I fought for my life, Emily's life, Serenity's life, Snicker's life. I fought for everybody that was stuck in this warehouse with me. Except for Eric's.

"Your being bad huh? You want rough?I'm going to give it to you rough."

Before I could hit, kick, or punch him I felt my underwear being ripped from my lower half and I instantly froze. I don't know why, I just did.

"You are scared. Open you legs, or say bye bye baby girls."

Then and there is when I found out why I had frozen. I felt the gun on my temple. I turned my head to make sure it was something else, but it wasn't. It was a gun.

"Open them up, or I swear I'll shoot them babies." He pointed the gun towards Serenity's car seat and my heart stopped. He looked me directly in my eyes, and I looked back into his with teary eyes.

"Please don't." I whispered.

"Open your legs... now."

I opened my legs. I herd him unbuckle his pants and zipper. I could feel him remove his manhood from his boxers.

His hands rubbed all over my lower half and I closed my eyes.

"Open your eyes."

I opened my eyes. "I want you to watch me fuck you. I want you to feel every piece of me. I want you to feel me inside of you. Now, kiss me." I closed my eyes and shook my head no.

My eyes shot opened once I heard the gun click.

"Do it now, or I'm going to shoot. One last no from you and there goes your daughter."

I kissed him. Not passionately, but boringly. I put no effort into making him love me.

I felt him at my entrance and I squeezed my eyes shut once he entered me slowly. He put his head in my neck and started to kiss it lightly. Tears emptied my eyes.

"I'd advise you to get your filthy dick out of my girl, right fucking now."

My eyes shot opened once I heard his voice. I looked around the room and I saw Janet and Jermaine taking the car seats and Snickers out of the room quietly.

I averted my eyes to Michael. He was standing there empty handed. No gun, no knife, no nothing. Just hisself.

"Michael..."

"It's me baby. I'm here." He kept his eyes on Eric.

Eric removed his head from my neck. He smiled and said "I believe it's to late for that." He pushed himself roughly inside of me and I cried out in pain, my eyes wide open starring back into Michael's. My mouth was agape and screams carried out of it.

Michael grabbed Eric's hand that had the gun in it and knocked it out of it. He then snatched his body away from mine and started to punch him.

Eric tried to get the gun, but Michael kicked it away from his reach.

I watched as they wrestled. Eric flipped Michael over and got on top of him, he tried to punch Michael in the face, but Michael grabbed his hand and stopped it.

I turned my back toward them. I couldn't deal with it. Blood was dripping down my legs, and I had to attend to that. I just had a baby a day ago and now I get a rock hard penis slammed inside of me. It didn't feel good, nor did I want it. Almost getting raped is not what anyone would ever want. I know I'm going to truly regret the day this ever happened to me. I know I am. I need to get help.

I saw the phone and went to pick it up. Once I picked it up, I dialed 911.

I told the lady that was on the phone everything that is happening, but stopped once I heard two gun shots.

I turned around to see Michael lying on the floor with blood all around him. I dropped the phone and ran toward him despite the pain in between my legs.

"MICHAEL!!!"

"Baby wake up. Please. Wake up baby!!! Michael please." I cried and cried. I looked at Eric and he was just lying there lifeless.

Janet ran into the room and saw blood and bodies. She screamed and ran towards Michael. I got up and went to my pants. I put them on and ran back to Michael. All the while still shaken up and crying my heart out. This cannot be happening.

"Michael, you're alright. Hang in there. You're alright." Janet said as she rocked him back and forth.

Meanwhile I on the other hand am still panicking.

"Where did he get shot? Where! Janet where?"

"Sofia, I need you to calm down. Help is on the way. I can hear the ambulances siren. He's okay."

"He's not Jan." I cried. I felt a tug on my leg and I turned to see Eric holding the gun.

"I'm sorry Fee. I just wanted a chance" he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. I screamed as his blood splattered all over my face.

**

I screamed and screamed, until the ambulance came. The paramedics removed Michael from Janet's arms, and my body and placed him on the gurney.

"Is he going to be okay?" I asked as I calmed down a little. They wouldn't let me go into the back of the ambulance in the way that I was. I couldn't stop screaming or anything. Janet calmed me down though.

Jermaine is already at the hospital with the babies. He's making sure that they are okay and nothing bad happened.

"He's going to be alright ma'am. He just got shot. He's going to make it."

I nodded and held onto his hand. I felt him squeeze mines back and I knew that he was fighting. I smiled broken heartily and kissed his knuckles.

"You're going to be okay babe. I promise. You're strong. Michael, you remember my tattoo? You told me to always remember the message behind it. Now I want you to remember it.
Babe, you told me that instead of saying goodbye, say see you later because you'd always see me later. You said that there was no way in this world that you would leave me again, or let me get taken from you. My tattoo says: Forever yours, always mines, never wanted to say goodbye.

*[I'll be there starts playing]*

"Babe, I don't want to say good bye. Please, stay in there. I know you can. I love you Michael. You always save me. You are my true Knight And Shining Amor. I thank god for you Michael. Please baby, stay with me. Don't go away. Be here. For me. For the girls. I have faith in all you do. Michael you say just call your name and you'll be there. Well, I'm calling you name baby. Be here. Please. I love you. I know your holding on. Make it through this. I do know you'll be here baby. Michael...Michael, please. Please daddy, please."

When we arrived at the hospital, they rushed him to the surgery room. They wouldn't let me go in, but I stayed out in the hall, biting my nails nervously. I looked down at my hands and saw all of Michael's blood on them. I instantly cried.

I dropped down to my knees and pushed my back to the wall. I slowly let my knees come to my chest and rested my head in them. I must have cried myself to sleep because I feel someone tapping me awake.

I stood up slowly because the pain in between my legs got worst.

"Are you Sofia Anderson?" The male doctor asked. I nodded my head and he continued.

"Ma'am, I am sorry for everything's that happened to you. I'm Doctor Nelson." I shook his hand.

"How's Michael? Is he okay? Can I go see him?" I asked about to enter the room. The doctor stopped me and I frowned up at him.

"Ma'am, there's some things I have to tell you before you go in there."

"Is it bad news? Please don't tell me it's bad news." I panicked.

"Miss Anderson, Michael has been shot."

"Where?"

"In his left shoulder. We had to do two separate surgeries to get the bullet out of him. He is not to do much. He needs rest ma'am, and if he doesn't let it heal properly then he can cause servilely damage to his shoulder. I need him to stay on bed rest for about four months or so. It depends on if it heals properly and fast."

"He has two daughters to take care of. How will he do that if he can't even get out of bed. I just gave birth yesterday making this his second child, not to mention this terrible pain I'm having between my legs every time I walk."

"Ma'am I am truly sorry. He needs to rest."

"What about me. I can barely walk without having a pain in between my legs. How will I wake up in the middle of the night, walk to my daughters room and feed her milk from my breast!!! I can't fucking do this shit alone. I'm hurting too. I was almost raped not to long ago and now I find out that my boyfriend has to stay in bed for at least four months. I can't take care of my daughter, Michael and myself at the same time. I need help." I cried. How am I going to get through this. This is bullshit.

"Ma'am can you come with me to the examine room. I can help you with the pain in between your legs." I nodded and turtle walked with him. Like I said before I cannot walk without having a pain in between my legs.

After 698 steps to the examine room, he sat me on the bed.

"Remove your pants for me." I did and I saw my blood dried up in both of my legs, leading up to my womanhood.

"On a scale from one to ten, how's the pain?"

"Feels like someone is stabbing me in my vagina with a sharp cutting knife."

He winced in pain and wrote something down on the clipboard.

"Okay. I'm going to need you to lie back and open you legs." I did just that and he sat down in his rolling chair and examined.

**
After getting examined and finding out that I needed to be on bed rest as well. He said that I shouldn't even be walking since the fact that I gave birth a day ago. I walked into the room Michael was in. There were lots of machines he was hooked up to all around his bed side.

I slowly walked up to him and grabbed his hand.

"Hey baby." I leaned forward and kissed his lips. They were cold and chapped.

"Babe, you hanging in there?" I knew he wouldn't respond but I kept speaking anyways.

"You Are Amazing. Our daughters need to hear we are proud of them. You are enough for us. Out of all the girls in the world, you had always choose me. Sadly, I was always tempted to spend a lot of time in life trying to prove my value to others. I tried to create an atmosphere where I am loved, but later found out that I didn't need to do that anymore once I realized I had you.
You Have Me. No matter what happens in life, the ups and downs that will come our way, the losses and gains, we must know we are there for each other and the girls. They needs to know that they can talk to you about anything. Anytime. More importantly, we can talk to each other about anything. Michael, you don't know how much I love you. I honestly do. There's no amount or price you can put for the love I have for you. It's simply unable to be worded. I never can say good bye. Though the pain and heart aches seems to follow me wherever I go, though I try and try to let it go, it always ends up hunting me. I have you Michael and I don't want you Michael. I've never wanted you. I NEED you. I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you. I know you can hear me because your heart monitor speeds up every time I say I love you."

I continued to talk, but stopped once I looked at his heart monitor. It kept slowing down and my heart beat sped up.

"Michael, stay in there baby. Please don't go." I cried a little. It slowed down.

"MICHAEL!! No, PLEASEE!!" I cried loud. His had fell from my grip and dangled on his bedside.

I heard it. He's gone. Michael is dead.

"Michael please!!" I cried as the nurse rushed into the room

"Ma'am I need you to leave. You have to go." The nurse said. She ran to the door and yelled "CODE BLUE!! Dr. Nelson we need you in here now!!"

They pushed me out of the room as I continued to scream.

"MICHAEL PLEASEE!! Michael you can't go!! You promised. You promised."

I screamed and banged on the door. I couldn't take this. Michael cannot be dead. He just can't be.

Can he?
