"Summer honey please calm down." Anthony tried to console Summer as she cried. "Don't ask me to calm down, my best friend is in a coma because of us." I can't say that I haven't thought the same way, if it weren't for me Alice would have never entered Autumn's life, she would have never been in danger, Leo would still be alive and probably with her. All of this would have been avoided only if I never walked into that cafe that day in order to buy it. But then again I would have stayed that cold-hearted baster I was until she warmed my heart again. Summer wouldn't have met Anthony and be so happy with him. The truth about my mother would have never come out. "Summer you guys aren't responsible for what happened. Alice is. And soon enough she will be caught and held responsible for her actions." Anthony was right, placing the blame on us won't bring us any good. There is only one responsible and she will pay for it, I'll make sure of it. "Anthony why don't you take her home to rest, I

"My name is..." "Domenic." She interrupts me. "You told me when I woke up." She says as I stare at her. " You also told me about this." She hands me a small picture of an ultrasound. I take it and look at the first picture of my baby, truth to be told I can't make out much but I think I do see a head and a hand. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen, after its mother. "Is there anything you remember?" I ask as I try to touch her hand but she moves it away. "No, I just woke up to an absolute nothingness, a blank space." She said as she looked at me with those eyes that appeared to have nothing behind them. "Who was that woman? The one that was in my room with you?" She asks. "Summer, my sister." I say and she doesn't even blink at the mention of her name. "She is your best friend." Autumn slowly nods her head as she scratches the back of her neck. "What is our relationship? I suppose you are the baby daddy." I looked at her confused, this isn't how Autumn would normally talk.

"Oh excuse us, we should have knocked." Richard says as he comes in and Adam strolls in behind him. I get up from the bed and stand next to Autumn while Adam glares at me. "That alright Richard, we were just..." I stop not sure what to say. She caught me by surprise. I never thought she would kiss me like that. "I wanted to know how he kisses." Autumn said like it was nothing. "Amazing by the way." She says as she turns to me and I probably smile like an idiot. "Did the doctor fill you in?" I ask Richard. "Yes, my father told us about everything." Adam answered as his eyes never left me. "Who are you?" Autumn asked as she stared at them. Richard moved forward and came to the side of the bed placing his hand on hers. "I am your father, Autumn. And this is a family friend, Adam. His father is one of your doctors." Adam walks up from Richard's side of the bed and extends a hand to her. Autumn reluctantly took his hand and shook it before pulling it back. "I remember seeing you brie

"Are you finally going to tell me where are we going?" I ask my father as we drive through the town. "Relax son, we are almost there." I hate it we he acts all cryptic. "Why don't you tell me about your plans with Autumn?" My plans? My plan is to take care of her and make her happy this time around. "I wanted to talk to you about that. I was thinking you would come back to take charge of the company while I help Autumn recover. For that, I will have to go to the Hamptons." Even if he doesn't accept, he'll just have to deal with it. Even if the company goes to ruin I will be by Autumn's side. "Dont worry about it, I understand. Besides going back to the company will be good for me, to take my mind off of things that happened lately. Until they catch Alice and I find the coward of her mother." I can't believe Alice managed to escape, until she is found I won't be able to rest. But a part of me hopes that at least she ran far enough to be as far away from Autumn as possible. "Thank yo

"And now as for the gender of the baby..." The doctor said and both Autumn and I looked at each other waiting to see if we were having a boy or a girl. "Actually, it turns out the baby doesn't wanna let us know just jet. It turned so it's hard to see. Maybe by the next appointment, it will change its mind." Autumn just smiled as the doctor removed the wand and the nurse whipped down the gel from her stomach. "We know what is important, and that's that the baby is ok." I say as get up and kiss her belly then cover it up with a blanket. "I'll bring you the discharge papers in a moment so you can help her get dressed, Richard said he'll be here soon with the helicopter." The doctor said before he left the room. "Are you excited about going home?" I ask her even tho I know the answer. "I'm just glad I get to leave this room, I can't stand the smell of it anymore." Autumn didn't like hospitals beforehand, it reminded her of her mother and how she died. Maybe deep down that's the reason
