For one brief moment in time Carlyn has wished that she had just reached over the table right then and there and punched Tori in her mouth. That brief moment was was silenced in her mind by her family who was trying to keep her as calm as possible. Joey was still seated and he turned his head to Tori confused.

  "Carly wasn't in rehab. It's impossible! She was with us! Dad....she's making this up right? There was nothing wrong with Carly. She's fine now. She always was! Carly? Tell her! Tell her your fine!"

This was the first time Joey had heard about this bombshell that his father and sister were keeping from him. He didn't understand why Tori was making such a wild accusation about his older sister. Tori turned to him and placed her and on his and was ready to apologize when Carly made sure she was heard loud and clear.

  "Don't touch my brother." She said as she glared at her angrily.

  "Carlyn he's upset I'm just trying to comfort him." Tori replied nonchalantly as she tried to reach for his hand again.

  "I said don't touch my brother bitch!" Carlyn snapped reaching over the table and swiping her hand away from Joey.

Carlyn had did it in such a fast motion that she had bumped the table with her stomach causing Regan and Prince to react by removing Carlyn from her seat and taking her to a separate area with Tremaine and Erin to calm her down. Carlyn was tired of walking on eggshells for a woman who would go as far as trying to ruin her happy marriage and corrupt her little brother with a story he's still too young to know about.

  "Dad! What's going on?" Joey shouted over the commotion.

Prince went up to his son and pulled him away from the table trying to reassure him that everything was ok and Carlyn was alright.

  "Son listen to me. There's nothing wrong with your sister. She's always been alright and she's always gonna be alright. I need you to understand that. Ok?"

Prince's voice shook as he looked in his son's sea blue eyes. He knew that the day was going come when this skeleton in the Nelson family closet was going to come out but he wasn't thinking it was going to be as soon as right now.

  "But dad why would Tori say something like that?" Joey asked worried as he watched Carlyn in the corner.

His eyes spilled out tears of worry and concern for his sister. The sister he loved since he was a small child and believed to be perfect had something wrong and nobody would tell him what was wrong.

  "I promise you we'll get this all sorted out. For now I need you to stay strong and for me and your sister. Carlyn is alright. Keep that in mind ok?" Prince replied as he held his son close.

  "Where's Tony?" He asked looking around the room frantically.

  "He's just outside the door I'll get him." Dez said and ran over to the door signaling for Tony.

  "Everything cool boss?" He said as he saw the family in a state of confusion and disarray.

  "Take Joey up to the studio and do not leave him alone. I need to deal with this first and then I'll come up and talk to him just keep him with you at all times." Prince commanded and went over to his distraught daughter to console her.

  "Carlyn! Carlyn!" Joey shouted before being escorted out of the dining room.

She couldn't hear him due to all the commotion but they did catch eyes and Carlyn mouthed a diligent I'm sorry to him before watching him go out the door with Tony. She herself was nearly in tears seeing Joey look so lost. Carlyn hated to see any of the men in her life in pain. Moreover she hated to see Joey hurt by anything or anyone. The fact that it was Tori who had inflicted such pain on her brother made it just as worse. Just as Prince was getting close to his child Carlyn had reached her boiling point. She broke free of Tremaine and Erin's grasps and bolted for Tori who was standing on the other side of the table unprotected.

  "Carly! Stop! The baby!" Regan shouted trying to grab at her when she ran past but couldn't catch her.

When Tori took notice of what was happening it was either fight or flight and she had made the wrong move choosing fight when she out of reaction to being charged at by a raging bull she backed into the closet corner and stuck her foot out and closed her eyes. Wishing seconds Andre took a chance and bum rushed Carlyn taking her off balance and into her father's arms. Saving her from a hard kick to the womb that was keeping her little one safely tucked away from the world. Prince and Carlyn went down to the floor with Prince breaking the fall cushioning the blow for her to land on her side into him. Tremaine rushed to her side and sat down on the floor beside them.

  "Carly! You can't do things like that! She could have hurt the baby!" Tremaine said in a panic as he rubbed his wife's back.

  "I hate her! I don't want her here! I hate her!" Carlyn cried in her father's arms.

Tori looked at the scene in front of her and slid down to the floor in tears of fear. She covered her mouth and silently whimpered where she sat as everyone else accept for Andre was over by Prince and Carlyn. Even Jackson helped by bringing cold water and cool towels to help cool Carlyn off before she went into shock from all of the anger she was experiencing. When all eyes fell on Tori things were more tense than ever. The only sound in the room was Carlyn trying to catch her breath while she was crying in Tremaine's arms. Prince stood from the floor brushing himself off and making sure that Carlyn was being taken care of.

  "Regan? Can you and Erin do something for me?" He asked as he watched his daughter and her husband stand from the floor.

  "Whatever you need Prince." Regan said quickly.

  "Take Carlyn to her room. Make sure she's comfortable. Tremaine goes with her too for extra support." He said to them.

Erin took a few extra bottles of water with her as she followed behind Tremaine who was leading the way with Carlyn right behind him. Regan went over to Jackson and hugged him tightly.

  "I'm so sorry you had to see this. I was just hoping that-"

  "It's alright baby. You go and take care of business. I'll wait out in the lobby." Jackson replied reassuring her that he understood.

She softly ran her hand down his face and followed behind Erin out the door. Prince saw the two exchanging glances and smiles as the parted ways and could feel himself getting upset and jealous but his feeling for Regan's relationship would have to wait. Right now he had his own marriage to worry about. He went over to Tori who was sitting in the same corner since the altercation was looking up and Prince with tears in her eyes.

  "Prince.....baby I.....I just-" she started but was cut off quickly by the sound of his angry voice.

  "I heard enough from you tonight. Just....go upstairs and I'll deal with you later." He huffed.

Prince turned his back to her and made his way to the exit when Tori shot up and tried to convince him to stop and let her talk but he silenced her once again and left the room. She turned to Andre and Dez who were still in shock from all that had happened.

  "I was just-" she stared but this time it was Andre who stopped her.

  "You better just go like he said doll." He said to her.

Dez took Tori's arm and escorted her out of the room. Andre went up to Jackson who was a mere spectator in all of this and looked him up and down.

  "Sup." Andre said to him extending his hand.

  "Sup. I'm Jackson." He replied shaking Andre's hand.

  "Mmhmm. You treat my lady right now. Or you'll be untying your vocal chords from your face." Andre hissed at him then giving his hand a tight firm shake.

  "Are you....her brother?" Jackson asked nervously.

  "Ex husband."

A surprised looked grew on Jackson's face and when Andre felt like he did enough hazing he let out a deep laugh.

  "I'm just foolin' withcha man. It's all good." He said as he giggled making the mood light again.

The two men laughed as they walked out of the dining room and rounding the corner. They could see Prince making his way to the lobby. When they had finally met up the shrill sound of Erin's voice calling for Prince down the hall above them.

  "PRINCE! PRINCE! WE NEED YOU! IT'S CARLY!" She cried.

Prince didn't waste a moment and bolted up the steps to the top floor in a panic. When he got to the top he was met with Regan who was very shaken up.

  "What's going on where is my daughter?!?!?" He asked worried.

  "I need you to stay calm and call Carlyn's doctor and 911. She needs to be seen right away." Regan said to him.

  "What's wrong? Is my grandchild ok?" He asked.

Regan was unsure how to answer and before she could give him what she thought was enough to calm him down he rushed passed her to Carlyn's bedroom and was met with his daughter writhing in pain on the bed and in a pool of blood. Could this be the omen that had haunted him in his younger years now going after his precious baby girl?
