The Night Can Be Deadly

*Time Lapse*

Iris was months into the pregnancy. She was just about ready to pop the baby out any minute. If the baby is a boy, we're gonna name it Michael James Fuentes. James was the closest name to Jaime we could find and the s had to do with Jessica. If the baby is a girl, we're naming it Alysha Mae Fuentes. To be honest, I'm terrified. What if Iris doesn't make it through the birth?

Stop Vic don't think that way! I can't help it.

Katelynne brushed Blossom's hair as she sat talking with Iris. I sat with Kellin as we watched them. The hospital was mostly the safest place we could stay. And it is. We've been here ever since Alysha's passing. There was no body to bury. Iris sometimes cries at night thinking she killed one of her best friends. I wake up and comfort her. It's hard to when they think they took someone's life.

"Are you ready to be a dad?" Kellin asks turning to me, breaking the silence. After a moment, I nod, "I'm prepared yes. I'm just not emotionally prepared. I keep thinking Iris won't make it. I'm terrified." "Don't be man, she'll be okay. We're in a hospital!! We have tons of people here. And the hospital are where babies are born. As long as we keep her safe and such, she'll be fine." Kellin reassures.

I just nod before standing up and going over to Iris. "Hey!" She greets happily. "Hey how are you girls doing?" I ask kissing Iris's cheek. "We're doing just fine." Katelynne informs as I stroke Iris's hair. Suddenly, there's a knock. "I'll get it!" I call. "Hurry back." Iris coos. "Duh!" I reply kissing her lightly as she giggles. When I open the door, no one is there.

So I go a bit further to look around when someone hits me on the head, knocking me out.
Drip drip drip. The sound reminded me of water dripping out of a faucet. But it wasn't water. It was blood. Darkness was all I saw. I could feel myself slowly leaving. I wouldn't. I can't. For Iris. And the baby. I must stay alive, no I have to. No matter what it takes...I must stay alive and escape to see the birth of our child. I must. The door opens and I squint to see who's coming in. And when I meant it wasn't over....I knew I was right.

"Have a good rest?" An oddly familiar voice asks entering. It was a female voice. She giggled, followed by a baby's gurgle. "Shh shh." She coos to the baby. I still can't see her since she's in the dark and the lights are off. Finally, they turn on and I squint. Ashley Lawson, holding baby Olive. I'm in the shit for sure. "Ashley?" I ask stunned by her appearence. I mean she was covered in blood head to toe and her hair was messed up.

"Glad you remembered me Victor. Now, let's get started." She smirks.
