"Crissy we lost the baby. Can you and Brent meet me at the hospital I need you both here and I know she is going to need you here when she wakes up. I love you too" Nick hung up his cell and looked around the waiting room. Kevin was slumped in a chair in the corner, crying and staring at a wall. Leighanne and Brian were exchanging worried glances towards Kevin. Denise had gone home to be with the twins in case they woke up and Jane and Bob were in the cafeteria getting coffee. Jessi and Howie were on the phone with Kim Ann's parents in Ottawa. "I cannot sit here and wait. Oh my god I need to see her, I need to taste her sweet tears." Nick broke down crying. "How am I going to tell the twins that their baby Mathilda is dead"
"Nick?" The doctor came into the waiting room. "She is out of surgery and everything is fine, she is experiencing severe cramping but that is normal. She is groggy but she wants to see you. We have a problem though, I am so sorry about this..The lobby is overrun with reporters, somebody must have tipped them off. What should I do?"
"Let me handle this" Nick stormed out the door and came face to face with flashing lights and microphones "Listen to me and listen to me good. My friends and I have given you and the fans all of our energy for the last 10 years. We have bent over backwards acommadating your requests for interviews and concert tours. We have spent years making you all happy when in reality we should have been at home taking care of our families. We have been neglecting our families for far too long and today it ends. My life is now MY LIFE and I do not want any of you following my wife and children to the park hounding them for pictures, I don't want you calling my house or camping out on my front lawn. I gave you my childhood, now all I ask it that you give me my adulthood and freedom. Effective immediatly I am no longer Nick Carter Backstreet Boy , I am Nick Carter father and soon to be husband of the most beautiful and special woman god ever created. If you push me I will press charges. I am begging for my freedom and privacy" Nick started to cry and ran past the reporters.

"Sweet pea?" Nick walked hesitantly over to Kim Ann's bed and reached for her hand.
"Nicky...I am sorry, I am sorry I was not a good mother, that I didn't take good enough care of our baby" Kim Ann mumbled in a drugged state.
Nick kissed her lips softly "Don't say that, not ever, baby this is not your fault, it is noone's fault. It just wasn't the right time for us to be blessed."
"Nicky I have to give you something" Kim Ann groggily pulled off her ring and handed it back to Nick.
"I will hold onto this for safe keeping baby, I will give it back to you when you get out of the hospital, I don't want you to lose it"Nick kissed his girlfriend's hand.
"No Nicky, I don't want it. I can't, I won't...I don't want to marry you"
Kim Ann fell back into a drug induced sleep.
