Everything is spinning out of control. One night that is going to change my life. I need to go find Shane. I need to tell her that i love her and i forgive her. I need to tell her that I NEED her. Have to find my keys, grab my phone….knock at the door. It’s her. It’s gotta be. She came back for me!!

“Sha….”

“Nice try, but you’re not getting off that easy.”

I opened my eyes and i had no idea where i was or why i was there. Carmen. Birthing Center. Her house. Cole. SHIT!!!

“CARMEN!”

“Calm down Shane. I think you may have a concussion.” I heard Dana’s voice.

“Where am i?”

“We moved you to Kit’s office. Cole knocked you out.”

“Cole…where did she go?”

“Dana pushed her off of you, and she took off.” I heard Alice now.

“You let her go? She’s going to go to Carmen!” I said trying to get up.

“Shane, you’re not going anywhere.”

“Al, let me go before i do something i regret. I have to get to Carmen…NOW!”

Alice let go and i ran out of The Planet in search of my car.

“I told you not to come back here.” I said slightly frightened.

“Carmen, i’m not going to hurt you. I just want to talk.”

“No, leave!”

“I just want to know why you would choose Shane over me. She is a fucking failure. What does she have? Nothing. She is a hair stylist!! I could give you and our child everyything…”

“Not our child. MY child.” I interrupted her.

“No Carmen, our child. We planned to have this child together. We bought this house for our child together. We decorated that room together. This is MY child too!”

“No it’s not. I did all of the necessary things in order to have this child. You just footed the bill for some of the paint for the nursery. This is my baby, and i’m not letting you anywhere near him.”

“Wait…him? You know it’s a boy? I’m going to have a son?”

“NO! This is the last time i will say this! This is MY baby. You are no longer a part of my life. Now get the fuck out of here before i call the cops.”
