Then again it�d be hell for the both of them. They already tried that and they both were hurting. He could still hurt her without being around her. Either way it wouldn�t be a good idea. He didn�t know what to do. Maybe if they had some time away from everyone and everything, and just the two of them alone together, things would be better. They could go to the island where they have their little hut by the waterfall or to the countryside to their place by the lake in Switzerland. Unless she wanted to go someplace else instead. Anyplace would be fine with him just as long as he didn�t screw it up like he always does.
He couldn�t figure out what just happened. One minute she was telling him she loved him and then the next she�s saying she hates him. It could all just be from the pain and what just happened. That had to be it. She couldn�t seriously hate him after all they went through. He didn�t hate her. He just loved her even more every time they went through something bad. Nothing could ever stop that. Nothing at all.
�Hey, Nick,� Brian said putting his hand on his shoulder and Nickolas looked. �Dr. Martinez is here.� He pointed and Nickolas looked. He slowly got up and walked over.
�How�s Sunnie?� Nickolas asked.
�She�s sleeping,� Carson said. �I gave her a sedative.�
�What happened?�
�It was just shock from what happened in the past few hours.�
�But she�ll be all right, right?� Brian asked.
�I ain�t going to say for sure,� Carson replied. �This could last for days, weeks, even months.�
�Just for shock?� Drake said.
�I�m afraid so. Ya just have to let time run its course.�
�Can I see her?� Nickolas wanted to know.
�Yes.�
Nickolas walked out and Brian asked, �What will happen if this lasts for more than a couple days?�
�We�ll probably end up putting her up in our psychiatric wing.�
�Nick ain�t going to go for that,� Aaron said.
�No he�s not,� Kevin agreed.
�Isn�t there something else?� Drake asked. �Another alternative?�
�Not at the moment,� Dr. Martinez said. �You�re just going to have to wait and see.� They nodded. �Anything else?�
�Uh�� Aaron said and they looked at each other. �Nope.�
�Alright. If there�s anything at all ya need or any questions just come find me.�
�Thank you, doctor,� Kevin said.
�You�re welcome, but if you�ll excuse me.� He walked away.

�Hey,� Josephine said walking into Howard�s hospital room where he still was.
�I told you to stay home with the twins,� Howard said.
�Mama D came and got them and I missed you.� She kissed him. �And Kevin called also and I didn�t want to tell ya the news over the phone or wait until tomorrow.�
�What is it?�
�Kevin and Brian went down to see Sunn and Nick.�
�How are they?�
�Well, Sunn started hemorrhaging and had to go into surgery. Then afterwards she went into shock. She was blaming Nick for the abortion and said it was his fault, because she almost died. Then she said none of us care about her.� Howard just looked at her. �He said Nick�s a mess although he won�t show it.�
�I bet he is. She�s everything to him.�
�Yeah.�
�I�m just glad this ain�t happening to us.�
�Same here. I told Kevin that she could use her best friend and to call Brad.�
�That was nice of you, but I don�t think Nicky will go for it.�
�He doesn�t have to worry though, because Brad�s in England with Rich and Devin.�
Howard nodded. �She just needs Nick really. I mean they have to deal with this together. Nick is the only one of us that�ll understand how she�s feeling.�
�True.�
�We just have to be here to listen when they want to talk. That�s all we can do right now, because there really isn�t anything we can do unless we experience it ourselves.�
�I know. I just feel so bad for them.�
�We all do.�
�We�re all having kids and they can�t to save Sunn�s life.�
�They�ll be able to one day.�
�I hope so, because they deserve to be happy just like the rest of us.�
�Yes they do.�
�I wish there was something we could do, ya know, to make them feel at ease with the whole baby issue.�
�Well we can�t at the moment. They have to come to grips with what happened before anyone can do anything. We just have to wait right now.� Josephine just looked at him. �I know you want to help, but right now ya can�t. You have to wait until Sunn�s ready. When she is she�s going to need a friend.�
�I just feel so bad.�
�We all do, Sweetie.�
�Do you think things will ever be the same again for them?�
�I hope so, but only time will tell.� She looked at him. �Only time will tell.�
