CHAPTER 23


~ DIMERA HIDEOUT ~


�Boss, boss they�re gone.� Bart yelled running into the room

�What are you talking about Bart?� Tony asked annoyed.

�Billie and Bo boss they�re gone.�

�What do you mean gone?� Tony asked. �There�s no way they escaped that room.�

Bart looks down at the floor. �I was on my way to see if they had awoken yet and I noticed the door was wide open.� He looks back at Tony. �I swear Boss I closed it once our men threw them in there.�

Tony paced back and forth across the floor for several minutes which scared Bart more and more with every step.

�Please don�t kill me sir.� Bart cried as he dropped to the floor.

�Get off the floor Bart.� Tony stated while shaking his head. �I have no intention of killing you.� Tony pushed a button on the intercom. �Bring her to me.� He yelled.

�Sir you don�t think, she��.�

�I don�t know Bart. We made certain she knew who they were.�

�But only through pictures and videos sir���.. Besides the room was dark, there�s no way she could tell who they were.�

Annoyed. �Shut up Bart you�re giving me a headache.�

�You wanted to see me Uncle Tony.� A young girl around 15 or 16 asked as she entered the room.

�Yes please sweetheart come in.� Tony stated smiling. �Bart was just leaving.�

�But sir.�

�Goodbye Bart.� Tony stated in a way that Bart knew he needed to leave at once.

�Come join me on the couch.� Tony said. �How was your day today?�

�It was fine, thank you.� She replied as she sat next to him. �I finished reading the book you gave me today.�

Tony laughed. �You read that already did you� well I�ll see to it that you get another one.�

�Thank you Uncle Tony.� She quietly replied.

Tony looked at her. �I was wondering if you were down in the basement at all today.�

She looked up at him knowing that lying wouldn�t get her anywhere since the entire fortress which they lived in is filled with surveillance cameras. �Yes sir I was.�

�And what were you doing down there?� Tony asked calmly.

�I was just taking a walk.� She began twisting her fingers. �and I heard you and some other men talking.� She looked up at him. �I just wanted to know what was happening what you were all talking about�. I swear I wasn�t going to let them go Uncle Tony but he�s my father and his wife is pregnant and she needs him.� She began to cry. �My little brother needs him.� Her cry became even more intense. �I need him.. I shouldn�t have let him go and I�m sorry.�

�Now now it�s alright.� Tony said as he embraced her. �You didn�t do anything I can�t undo.� He pushed her into an upright position and became very serious with her. �Now I told you I�d reunite you with your parents when the time is right and I plan on doing just that.� He wiped the tears that finally stopped following from her face. �But I can�t and won�t do that if you do anything like this again.�

�I�m sorry Uncle Tony, I really am sorry.�

�I know you are.� Tony firmly stated back as he got up and walked them both to the door.

�Must I go back to my room.� She asked.

�You need to go back to your room and think about what you�ve done.� He opened the door and she walked out. �Bart get in here.� He yelled

�So Boss did she do it, did she do it Boss. Did she let Bo Brady and Billie Reed go?�

�Oh Bart stop acting like a child we have work to do.�

~ OUTSIDE SALEM HOSPITAL ~


Billie is on the phone crying. �No mother I can�t.� She begins to yell. �Well that�s kind of hard to do since his wife is giving birth to their little brat.� She notices Shawn sitting on a concrete wall. �Listen I have to go just get the next step of our plan into action. I�ve got to make sure Bo doesn�t listen to Hope. I have to make sure he believes Georgia is alive.� She hangs up the phone and walks over to Shawn. �Hey Shawn D you okay.� She asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

�My name is Shawn, not Shawn D and I�m not a little kid anymore Billie so you can�t just pat me on the back and expect me to spill my guts.�

�Fine.� She said annoyed by his attitude as she removed her hand. �I didn�t mean anything by it.�

�Why don�t you just go away and leave me alone?�

She noticed the bandages on his face. �Looks like you got into a fight and lost.�

He looked right at her. �I didn�t lose you should see the other guy.�

�Do you want to talk about it?�

Shawn just laughed.

�What�s so funny.�

�You, you are Billie you�re so pathetic that you�re not even funny.� His laughter turned into disgust. �How can you stand here and try to be my friend when most likely what�s happening with my mother is all your fault� So what did you do to her anyway?�� Or was it my dad did you finally get him right where you wanted him.� He stands and gets her in face. �In your slutty bed right next to you.�

She goes to slap him but he stops her.

�I�d think twice about hitting me Billie.� He throws her hand back at her. �I just might hit you back.�

~ HOPE�S HOSPITAL ROOM ~


It�s been several hours since Hope�s been admitted and she looks like she about to give up.

�Hope you need to push on this one.� The doctor ordered.

�Bo I can�t do this.� Hope yelled as the contraction really started to hit her.

�Yes you can Fancy Face.� Bo yelled as he pushed her back up and held her just as tightly as she was holding him. �Come on push.�

�Push Hope.� The doctor yelled

Hope screamed so loud that Jenn and Patrick who were still standing outside the room heard her.

�Stop pushing.� The doctor yelled. �I�ve got the head and I need to rotate the shoulders.�

�Bo don�t let go.� Hope yelled.

�You�re almost there Fancy Face. Just a few more seconds and you�ll be holding our child.� Bo cried as he pressed his lips on her head.

�Okay Hope I need you to help me here.� The doctor said smiling. �I need you to slightly push and we�ll find out if it�s a boy or girl.�

Bo pulled Hope closer to him as she pushed one last time.

�It�s a girl.� The doctor yelled as he made the baby cry.

�Is she okay? Can I hold her?� Hope cried

�Doctor she isn�t breathing right.� The nurse who he handed her to replied.

�Oh my god what�s wrong with her Bo?� Hope asked as she looked up at him.

�Don�t worry Fancy Face she�s going to be okay.� He pulls her head back to his chest. �Remember she�s very small and her lungs probably aren�t developed enough.�

Bo and Hope held each other tight as the nurse placed the baby in the incubator.

�I want to hold her Bo.� Hope exhaustedly cried.

The doctor walked over to them. �Congratulations it�s a girl and she�s weighed in at 5 lbs 2 ozs.�

�What�s wrong with her doc?� Bo asked

�She�s at least two months premature so her lungs aren�t fully developed and �.�

�Is she going to be alright?� Hope cried.

�The next 48 hours is going to be the hardest.� The doctor replied trying to calm her. �We�ve placed her on a machine that will help her breath.�

�I thought she was breathing on her own.� Bo stated trying to hold back the tears.�

�Yes she is.� The doctor said. �It�s just she�s not breathing as well as we would like. Her breathes are way to shallow even for a newborn.�

�I want to see my baby.� Hope cried

The nurse rolled the incubator over to Hope�s bedside. �She�s beautiful Mrs. Brady congratulations.�

Hope placed her hands on top of the incubator. �Bo look at her. In spite of all those machines and tubes hooked up to her she�s prefect.�

�She�s a Brady Hope just like you and she�s gonna make it.�
