LaToya's POV

"What are you waiting for? Go!" Jack frowns at me. "I can't. They won't let me see them. I tried to call and..."

"I don't give a fuck!" He snaps cutting me off "I need to know what's going on. You knew how much money I was gonna get for this story and if I find out you did this on purpose I swear..."

"Of course I didn't! I was on my way downstairs and Faith came out of nowhere and..."

"And ended up taking a trip down a flight of stairs. Now you better get in there and find out what's going and if you ever talk back to me again I swear i'll kill you" he hisses. "I'm sorry didn't mean to..."

"And quit crying. It makes you look even more ugly than usual" he cuts me off and I nod wiping my tears "now get the fuck out" he frowns and I quickly get out of the car and make my way inside the hospital.

I'm walking down the corridor and when I get to the room I see Janet walking out wiping her face.

"What the fuck are you doing here!?" She snaps storming over to me. "I wanted to..."

"You were told to stay away! Haven't you done enough!?"

"It was an accident! I swear I never..."

"Yeah right!" She scoffs "You really expect me to believe Faith just fell down the stairs!?"

"It's the truth! Do you really think I'd be that sick to push a pregnant woman down the stairs!?" I gasp shocked she'd even think that.

"It wouldn't surprise me. What was that you were saying moments before Faith 'fell' down the stairs?"

"I didn't mean any of..."

"You said that their baby was gonna be raised by a peado and a child and would be born a mutant with health problems and would be better not be I born and..."

"That's not what..."

"You said what!!!?" I hear Michael snap walking over to us "it wasn't like that" I shake my head. "There was nothing wrong with her! She was beautiful and she was healthily and..." he sobs "she?"

"My daughter. And now she dead because of you!" He snaps and charges towards me but luckily Tito on his way over and managed to grab him quickly.

"She killed my baby" Michael whimpers in his arm and I break down crying "Michael, i'm so..."

"Can you get her out of here" Tito says to Janet, while he takes Michael back into the room.

"Are you happy now?" She croaks trying not to cry. "I swear it was an accident. Ask Faith she knows I didn't to bump into her on purpose and I tried to catch her and..."

"Faith doesn't remember what happened because she got a concussion from the fall and she's just lost her daughter because of you. So why don't you go back to Jack and do us all a favour and stay away from Faith and stay away from this family" she says coldly and turns and goes back into the room.

Jackie's POV

"I'm just stepping outside. I'll be straight back I promise" I whisper shakily to Faith and Michael and neither of them looks up or speaks.

Once I leave the room I immediately burst into tears unable to hold back any more. "It's ok" I hear my mother say softy and I turn to see her coming out of the room. "Why would she do this to them? Why would anybody..."

"I don't know" she croaks "But we'll get those answers soon enough"

"She's not gonna get away with this! I'm gonna call the police and.."

"Nobody's going to do anything right now" she cuts me off "mother, she pushed Faith down the stairs! I'm not gonna let her get away with this" I frown. "And she won't, but we don't know exactly what happened because Faith doesn't remember and..."

"You don't actually believe she fell do you?" I frown. "I honesty don't know what to believe anymore, but calling the police right now won't help because neither Faith or Michael can say a sentance without breaking down and they need to grieve for their child" she says softly and I nod wiping the tears from my face. "I don't even know what I'm supposed to say to them. Everything I say seems to make them break down"

"You don't have to say anything. They know your here for them and that's what they need and their gonna break down regardless of whether you say something or not. Your father and I were the same when Brandon was taken from us and as a parent you'd do anything to keep your child safe and to lose one makes you feel so weak and helpless because there's nothing you could have done to help them" she croaks and begins sobbing and I wrap my arms tightly around her. "I know I was angry when they first told me, but I never told them that I was also really excited about being a grandpa" I croak and she breaks away from our hug and wipes the tears from my cheeks. "You OUR a grandpa. She may not be with us physically anymore, but that doesn't stop you from ever being her grandpa"

*

We continue talking and a few moments later Jermaine comes out of the room. "I was just about to come and look for you two" he says in a hushed tone. "We just needed a moment" I say "Joesph thinks we should all probably leave soon and give Faith and Michael some space"

"We can't all leave. somebody's gonna have to stay with them" mother says to him. "I'm gonna stay with them" I cut in an Jermaine looks at us concerned. "What's wrong?" I ask

"Should um... shouldn't a doctor or a nurse or somebody have come by now, to um... You know?... take her?"

"They have and Michael and Faith said their not ready"

"But they can't just leave the baby in their with them that's just cruel" he frowns confused. "It'll be even crueler for somebody to just come in and drag her from their arms" mother cuts in. "I know but.. "

"If they need more time to say goodbye then we respect that. There's no right or wrong way to grieve" mother says softly and he nods not saying anything.

Julie's POV

I get to the hospital and Jackie is waiting at reception for me.

"I cannot believe you didn't call me straight away! I'm her mother! I should have been the first to know, not get a call hours later from your mom!" I snap walking over to him. "My daughter just lost her baby and I was more concerned about that then calling everybody. The whole world doesn't revolve around you!" He snaps back.

"I'm sorry I'm just still in shock" I say in a softer tone. "Is she ok?"

"neither of them have said a word since they took her from them"

"Her?"

"They had a little girl. She looked just like Faith" he smiles slightly through pursed lips and tears start rolling down his Faith. "She must have been beautiful then" I croak and he nods. "I need to see her"

"You can go in there, but if you start arguing or..."

"I just want to be with my daughter" I cut him off and he nods.

We get to the room and Faith an Michael are lay on the bed holding each other, crying.

"Jackie told me what happened. I'm so sorry sweetie" I say softly walking over to the bed and she doesn't answer. "Are you ok?" I reach out to put my hand on her shoulder, but Michael frowns and pulls her closer to him. "I'm sorry" I say shakily leaving the room and Jackie follows me.

"Where are you going?"

"I can't do this. I can't stand there and listen to them crying like that"

"They've just lost their daughter what do you expect? Of course their gonna cry for her" he frowns confused. "I can't do this" I shake my head and turn to leave and he pulls me back "Are you seriously gonna just walk out of here!? Faith needs you!"

"What am I supposed to say to her? I can't even give her a hug. You saw what Michael just did. He pulled her away from me"

"He's grieving and are You seriously getting at him again. Now of all times!?" He frowns. "Well what do you expect? I get that he's upset too, but if it wasn't for you Jackson's none of this would have happened! You all do nothing but cause people misery and look what's happened to Faith. She lost her baby because you all couldn't just leave her alone especially Michael" I snap.

"Are you fucking serious!? In case you forgot if it wasn't for Michael there wouldn't have even been a baby in the first place" he snaps back. I don't answer and turn to leave but he pulls me back again "where are you going. You can't just walk out. Our daughter is in there and..."

"I'll call her later" I cut him off "Your seriously going to walk out on her when she needs you? Now more than ever?" He frowns at me. "I'm sorry, but I can't stand there and watch my daughter crying and heartbroken like that" I croak. "Julie, I don't want to see them heartbroken either, but she needs you and you need to go back in there and..."

"I can't" I croak cutting him off. "I'm sorry. I can't do it" I free my arm and turn to leave quickly and this time he doesn't try and stop me.

When I get to my car I burst into tears. I know what I just did was selfish, but how can I just stand there and look them in the eyes knowing all of this was my fault. I'm her mother and I didn't take care of her and protect her the way I should have and I could see in Michael's eyes he knows this is all my fault to and I don't blame him for pulling her away from me like that, especially after all the things i've said and done to them, Michael's the one who's taken care of her not me. I pretty much just stood back and let Faith raise herself and then hated him and anybody else that showed her any kind of love and Jackie's right when he said I'm the worst mother ever.

*****

Faith's POV

"Are you sure about this?" Michael asks, helping my off the bed and I nod.

I'm about to speak when Jackie walks in "What are you doing out of bed?"

"We're going home" I mumble. "Your mom didn't mean to.."

"I don't care about that" I say in a neutral tone. "But you can't just leave the hospital. The doctors need to keep a check on you and..."

"I'll take care of her" Michael cuts in getting my stuff together. "Then why don't you both come and stay with me or with mother?"

"I just wanna go home" I croak and Jackie wraps his arms around me. "I know you do sweetheart, but you've both had alot to deal with today. Why don't you just stay here tonight?"

"For what? There's nothing here for us anymore" Michael shrugs "let me speak with the doctor first and if he says it's ok then i'll drive you both home, but will you promise me neither of you will go anywhere until I get back?" He asks and we both nod an he leaves the room to go and find the doctor.

"Are you ok?" I turn to Michael and he shakes his head. "I don't know anymore. I just feel... I don't know how to explain it"

"Empty?" I mumble and he nods. "This is all my fault" he croaks "I should have been there and.."

"But, you were" I frown confused "No I wasn't. I was to busy goofing around in the kitchen with Janet instead of being with you and..."

"Michael, I went to the bathroom. You didn't know this was going to happen. None of this is your fault" I croak pulling him into me and holds me tighter and begins crying again. "I just wish there was something I can do to put this right, but I don't know what to do" he sobs.

I'm about to speak when Jackie walks in. "I spoke to the doctor and he said you should be ok to leave, be he needs to check you over again and give you some painkillers and stuff before you leave" Jackie mumbles and we both nod. "Um... I just got off the phone to mother and she said LaToya has..."

"Did the doctor say how long he'd be?" I ask changing the topic "just a few minutes and then I'll take you both home"

"You don't have to. You've already done enough for us" Michael sniffles "I want to and I'm not gonna let you drive home in the state your both in" he smiles at us through pursed lips then sighs heavily.

"We do need to talk about LaToy..."

"Can we stop off at a drive through or something on the way? I'm starving?" Michael cuts him off an he nods taking the hint. "Ok, we'll just talk about it another day" he smiles sympathetically.

LaToya'S POV

I've been sitting in this cell for what feels like hours and the whole time i've just sat here and cried. Seeing my little brother like that broke my heart and knowing this is all my fault kills me. I truly didn't mean those thing's I said to Janet and I absolutely did not mean for what happened to Faith. I hate myself for what happened and knowing my whole family thinks I did this on purpose kills me even more and even if they did believe me, i'm always going to have to live with the guilt of knowing that and innocent baby lost her life because of me, because I was so stupid and careless to run towards the stairs the way I didn't without even stopping to think that somebody may have been walking up them at the time.

My thought's are broken when a guard opens my cell door. "Mrs Gordon. your free to leave" he says coldly. "what are you talking about?" I look at him confused. "we've tried speaking with your niece, but she's unwilling to speak to anybody right now, so until she files any charges against you, your free to go... for now" he looks at me with disgust. "your husband is at the desk waiting for you"

When we get to the front of the station Jack and I are sat waiting for the officer to finish some paperwork so I can leave and Jack sqeezes my hand tightly and I bite my lower lips desperately trying not to scream out in pain. "you really think that was a smart move to come here and confess?" he whispers so nobody hears. "their baby dies because me. I deserve to be punished for what happened" I croak. "trust me when I get you home you will be" he frowns then turn faking a smile at the officer as he calls me over.

"ok, I just need you to sign here and your free to go"

"that's it? I just sign a peice of paper and the whole thing is over?"

"for now, but if your niece  decides to press charges or you go any where near her or your brother you will be arrested and held in custody" he warns me.

"is there a problem" Jack asks walking over to be. "But, I did it on purpose" I turn shakily to the officer. "I saw her coming up the stairs and I waited until she was at the top and I pushed down the stairs" I lie. "She doesn't know what she's saying she's just in shock" Jack says to the officer and he takes my arms squeezing tightly. "it's time to go" he says sternly and the officer looks at us confused as Jack turns me to lead me out of the door, but I move away and turn back to the officer. "and I won't stay away from her. the second I get the chance i'm going straight over there and i'm going to finish what I started"

"Mrs Gordon, you do realise your in a police station and threats are taken very seriosly?"

"Shut... up" Jack hisses at me and I ignore him "it's not a threat. I mean it. I- I'm going to kill her! and my brother too!" I lie "I um.. I have a gun! and the second I get out of her i'm going to..."

i'm cut off when two officers quickly grab hold of me pulling me away from Jack's grip. "she wasn't being serious she's just..." 

"Sir. I need you to step aside" another officer cuts him off, moving him away from me as i'm being handcuffed and taken away.

Michael's POV

"Should you really be drinking?" I ask Faith as she pours herself another glass of wine. "why not? it's not like I have baby to worry about anymore" she says blankly then begins crying. "it's gonna be ok" I say pulling her into me. "how is this ever gonna be ok?" she sobs in my arms. "I don't know, but if I could put this right again and make everything back how it was, I swear to you I would" I tell her honestly, holding her tightly and she leans in and kisses me soflty then goes slightly deeper and I break away slightly. "we don't have to to this" I whisper " I want to" she mumbles and kisses me again. "your upset" I say softly "you said you wished you could make thing's right again"

"I do and I've meant every word i've ever said to you" I tell her honestly. "I just want our baby back" she sobs "I want that too" I sob seeing the heartache in her eyes. I lean in and kiss her softly then break away again slighlty. "OK" I nod shakily and take her hand and lead her upstairs to our bedroom.

Jackie's POV

"I really don't think you should have left them" Janet shakes her head "but, they wanted to be alone. what was I supposed to do? I tried to convince them to stay at the hospital and they wouldn't and I even suggested they stay here or with me, but they just kept crying saying they wanted to go home"

"but.."

"if they want to be alone then we need to respect that" Joesph cuts her off "but their not fit to be on their own right now" Janet says "But, their not alone. they have each other" Mother cuts in. "yes, but their both in the same way"

"and they both need some space and we need to respect that"

"maybe I should go over there" I sigh still unsure if I should have left them alone. "it's 11'oclock at night" Joesph says. "hopeful they'll both be sleeping"

"But..."

"let's just leave them be for tonight and first thing in the morning we'll all go over to check on them" mother suggest on we all nod in agreement.
