Part XXI

"Easy killer, that's a new phone. I just got it before I left." The Congressman teasingly replied and chuckled at the embarrassed look on Rayne's face.

"Oh, sorry Sir." She nervously stammered and picked up the phone. She wiped it off and handed it to him. "Sorry." She sheepishly grinned.

"I was teasing Rayne and would you stop calling me sir? Call me Dad or Lance, just not sir. We're family." He asked smiling.

"Sure, Dad." Rayne grinned and nodded her head that she would do so. Rayne checked over Julia who lay sleeping and for the time being was stable.

"Rayne, I've…aah…been thinking." The Congressman began, his tone turning serious as he peered into Rayne's blue eyes. "We're slowing you two down." He explained, looking down at his wife, then back up to Rayne. "Maybe it would be best for you and Danielle to head down without us and get help." Rayne's heart quickened as she listened to what he was suggesting and she nearly went ballistic at the suggestion that she leave them there.

"No way! I'm not leaving the two of you here. We all go down together."

Rayne protested, shaking her head defiantly.

"Rayne let's be realistic about this. You two could make it down there in no time. We'll stay here and wait for you to return with help." He attempted to reason. It didn't work, but then again who would actually think it would with Rayne?

"No way. I'm not leaving you here in this hostile area. Dad…these people would love nothing more than to capture you and God knows what else if they knew who you were. It's better if we all stay together. I'm not taking the chance and have something happen to you both. Lark would kill me and I've got to make sure we have your support in Congress so I can legally adopt my child, especially if the Republican Administration gets in office. Besides, I kind of like you too." She grinned mischievously as she stared at him.

"I appreciate your concern for us Rayne and I'll try to help in anyway that I can to not slow the group down." He smiled appreciatively and patted her arm.

"Let's see if that tough Marine mentality comes out in you as we make the trip down." She teasingly smiled, noting it was getting darker and that Danielle had not yet returned. Under different circumstances she wouldn't care what the hell happened to her, but in this instance she needed her help and damn, did she hate that!

"Ooh, I've got to tighten up. That sounds like a challenge to me." He grinned and shifted.

"Hey, if it will get us back to civilization, I'll tell you whatever it takes to get you moving faster." Rayne laughed and turned serious. "Do you think that Lark will blame me for all of this Dad?" She asked, twiddling with the piece of grass she had in her hand, subconsciously wondering if Lark thought this was all her fault.

"What? You can't seriously think that Rayne?" He asked surprised.

"It's the truth. I'm to blame for all of this." Rayne replied and gestured with her hands to the group. "I put Lark and our child in grave danger by coming here. I had to be so damn stubborn and arrogant by having to personally handle this case. I could have just allowed someone else to have taken my place and stayed at home with Lark or I could have told Lark what was going on. I shouldn't have lied to her." She regretfully explained and tossed the piece of grass she was holding, frustrated at her stupidity.

"Yes, you could have Rayne, but we both know what kind of a toll that would have taken on you and Lark. To live your life looking over your shoulder in case this person hadn't have been apprehended or the stress it would have created if Lark had known about it. You can second guess yourself a million times and come up with different solutions for handling this situation, but you're doing yourself a disservice by doing so. I would have done the same thing Rayne in a heart beat and you shouldn't feel guilty about it."

"That's just the thing, I do feel guilty about it Dad. I've put so many people in danger by being here and I feel like I'm the cause of you both being here in this predicament." She guiltily explained and hung her head, fiddling with the grass before her. "I can't imagine how Lark won't blame me and how she could ever forgive me for this." It pissed her off thinking about how she put everyone in such dire straits and if anything happened to Lark or the baby because of it, she wouldn't be able to stand herself. She just couldn't understand why in the hell she would cause so much pain towards the woman who meant everything to her. 'I was just trying to do what I thought was right for us.' She thought, trying to reason with her conscience. It wasn't working.

"Rayne, no one blames you including my wife or me and let me tell you, Lark loves you very much and there is no way she would ever think that way about you. Never." He passionately reiterated.

Rayne's anger boiled within at the situation they were in and she desperately wanted to release her tension. Her guilt was overwhelming and she wanted to believe what the Congressman was telling her, but she couldn't shake her feelings. She heard a noise and turned to where she heard it. "Get down." She whispered as the Congressman leaned down, protectively covering his wife. Rayne drew her gun and positioned to fire if need be. She saw Danielle exit the trees breathless and steadied her gun before holstering it. She stood confrontationally in front of Danielle. "Where the hell have you been?" She angrily asked.

"Yeah, and I'm happy to see you too!" Danielle sarcastically answered, dropping the canteens near the Congressman and tried to catch her breath.

"You know, you really tick me off with your casual attitude Danielle." Rayne angrily replied and threateningly moved closer to her.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Danielle asked, not in the mood for Rayne's nasty attitude.

"You wreak havoc in my life and you just casually stroll back in it like nothing ever happened. If there is someone to blame for a lot of this it's you!" Rayne nastily shouted.

"Now, Rayne. Come on!" The Congressman levelly replied, trying to calm the situation.

"How am I to blame for us being here Rayne? Tell me, I'd really love to hear this one. Is it because of your precious Lark?" She sarcastically asked, she was in no mood for her attitude and would love nothing more than to give her an attitude adjustment.

"That's right! You came between us because of your selfish fucking reasons and stole six months of our lives together as a result of that. When Lark found out you were assigned to this case she was upset about it and went into labor."

"Don't blame me because your girlfriend is jealous and went into labor." Danielle snapped condescendingly and placed her hands on her hips.

"You have no fucking consideration for anyone's feelings except your own. I wouldn't put it past you to have done something to the phone lines so I couldn't talk to Lark!" Rayne angrily voiced and saw the guilty look on Danielle's face, indicating she did have something to do with the phone problem. "You fucking bitch!" Rayne furiously shouted and punched Danielle in the mouth. Danielle fell back, surprised by what Rayne had done to her. "How could you do that to us?" Rayne shouted and knelt down, grabbing Danielle by the throat. "You're to blame you fucking bitch!" Rayne angrily replied, tightening her hold on Danielle's neck. She wanted nothing more than to snap her neck.

Danielle desperately tried to break the grip on Rayne's hold and was grateful when the Congressman pulled Rayne off of her. "Get a grip on yourself Rayne!" He curtly ordered and held her back as Danielle stood up gasping for air.

"Rayne." Julia replied softly and looked at her.

Her voice had a calming affect on her and she moved closer to Julia. "Yes?" She asked, breathing heavily as she looked down at her.

"Rayne, there are many factors to blame here, but you seem to think that you are the only one to blame. Sure, you might blame Danielle for a portion of it, but it doesn't mean you should kill her and take all of it out on her. If you want to place the blame on someone do so to the woman dead in that plane. If it wasn't for her you would not have had to come here, Lark wouldn't be in labor and we wouldn't be stranded in this hellhole. Now, stop torturing yourself! Danielle did a horrible, horrible thing to you and Lark, but it won't do any of us any good if you continue this quest for payback." She was the voice of reason and no matter how much Rayne wanted to disagree with her, she just couldn't. She was right and she possesses the same rapport that Lark has, especially when it comes to calming Rayne's fiery temper.

Danielle rolled her eyes at the comment, but the woman was right. No matter what hard feelings they had about each other, they would have to work as a team to survive this and then they could deal with those problems once they got home. "You're right, I'm sorry." Rayne apologized, embarrassed by her actions and walked away to be alone. She leaned against a tree and inhaled deeply, trying to calm the emotions that ran so deep. She hated being wrong. It galled her to know that she had to swallow her pride and anger towards Danielle for the time being. She felt if she did so, Danielle would get away with all that she had done to them and Rayne for sure wanted revenge. She thought that using Danielle as a whipping post was a great option, unfortunately it would have to wait until later.

"How are you my love?" The Congressman asked his wife, as he looked down at her lovingly stroking her blonde hair.

"I could be better honey, but I'm feeling a little better than before. I'm really worried about Rayne, Lance. I've never seen her like this before. She really shouldn't put all of this on herself." She worriedly explained.

"I know, I tried to talk to her earlier about it and I thought I had gotten through to her, but I guess not. I'll let her calm down and talk to her again." He smiled reassuringly. "Try to get some more sleep as I'm sure we'll be moving soon." He lightly kissed her hand that clutched his and delicately stroked her hair.

"Rayne…aah…listen." Danielle tentatively replied as Rayne gave her an evil sideways glance before looking out over the ravine. "I don't want to fight with you, but I do need to let you know that I saw a cottage down the pass about a half hour away which looks like it could be a hide out or a safe house. Even better, I saw a jeep out front." She explained, smiling at the thought of the transportation.

Rayne snapped her head around and stared at Danielle, "Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Hmmm…well, it was a little hard to do that with your fist in my mouth." She sarcastically answered and backed up when she saw Rayne grit her teeth, moving towards her. "I'm sorry…look, if we are all going to get out of this alive, we have to work together. We can't continue to fight like this; it isn't doing us any good. Julia was right." Danielle conceded, holding her hands up as a truce. She wasn't pleased with the attitude Rayne kept giving her and the only way she could keep that from coming out again was to back off.

Rayne huffed and stopped before her. "You're right, just keep your sarcastic comments to yourself and only speak to me about things that pertain to our survival." Rayne demanded angrily, unable to look at the woman.

"Fine, it will be done." Danielle agreed, glad she wouldn't have Rayne attacking her anymore. She couldn't help her sarcastic comments though. Maybe it was because she felt like a scorned lover. She was so jealous over the fact that Rayne was so damn stuck on Lark that she couldn't see how much she loved her and would do anything to have her or for her. Danielle dreamily stared at her and wondered why she couldn't see that from her.

"Danielle! Hey! Are you listening to me?" Rayne asked, snapping her fingers to get Danielle's attention as she was distracted and didn't answer her question.

"Oh, sorry…aah…what did you ask me?" She asked, shaking her thoughts from her head and focusing on what Rayne was saying to her.

"How many people did you see there?"

"I saw four, but there could be more though. I tried to stay and monitor them for awhile to see if anymore came, but it started to get dark and I knew I had to get back." Danielle explained.

"Okay…we need to check our ammunition supply as well as our weapons situation to see if the two of us can take them out fairly easily." Rayne explained, her adrenaline pumping faster at the thought of getting the hell out of there sooner.

"Well, I was able to grab a few guns off the plane before it blew. So, I'll check those out as well."

"Don't forget to count me in Rayne." The Congressman confidently replied as he painfully hobbled to Rayne as she turned to regard him. "Okay…great. The more the merrier." She smiled and placed her hand on his shoulder appreciatively. "Let's check out the supplies, make our way to the cottage and take them out under the cover of darkness." Rayne confidently instructed the group.

"I hope that the four I saw were the only one's there."

"Yeah, me too." Rayne agreed with a nod. "Do you remember how to get back?"

"Sure do." Danielle cockily answered.

"Let's get to it then." Rayne smiled and limped towards their backpacks, followed by the Congressman.

"Rayne listen." He replied and stopped her. He winced from the pain that coursed through his leg and stood upright, meeting Rayne eye to eye. "Stop punishing yourself like this, it's going to drive you nuts." He sincerely advised her, concerned for her mental health.

She inhaled deeply and exhaled, knowing she had been acting like such an ass. "You're right Dad, but I just can't get past this feeling that everything is my fault. I'm just going crazy in my mind with worry about Lark and our baby. If anything happens to either of them because of me being here, I just don't know what I will do." She honestly admitted, tears forming her stormy blue eyes. She was a woman on the edge and she was ready to snap. She wasn't used to not being in control of the situation or her feelings and it was driving her to the brink of madness.

"Listen, my daughter is a princess and a tough one at that. She will be fine and if I know her as well as I think I do, she probably refuses to believe that we are all dead. She has this knack for seeing the positive in everything and until she sees all of our dead bodies, she ain't believing it." He chuckled and smiled proudly as he spoke of his beloved daughter.

Rayne snickered at the comment, knowing what he said was true. "Yes, she's stubborn that way and so incredibly beautiful that she can see the good in just about everything. Hell, she saw it in this stubborn fool." She chuckled, pointing to herself. "I can't wait to see her, to hold her, to kiss her, and to let her know just how much I love her." Rayne adoringly replied, with a smile thinking about Lark. "She means everything in the world to me Dad. She's my life, she completes me and I fall farther in love with her every minute of the day. Aah…" She gasped, happily thinking of the way Lark makes her feel. "The way she makes me feel when I'm around her is incredible and it fills me with so much joy and happiness. When she looks at me, I can see right through to her soul and see mine reflected there. I can feel and see everything that I mean to her. I only hope she can see and feel the same about me. I can't imagine myself without her in my life. I would be lost. I live to love her." She tearfully and wholeheartedly professed, pulling out the pictures she had in her pocket. She briefly stared at them before proudly showing them to the Congressman, who fought back his own tears as he looked at them. "These are the two reasons for me living. Oh, all I want to do is hold Lark in my arms and tell her how much she means to me." She sighed, disappointed and frustrated that she couldn't do just that.

"You will Rayne, you will." He smiled and sniffed back the tears, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I see that my daughter possess all the wonderful and beautiful qualities that my wife has. I feel the same way about her and Lark as you do. Without them, I'm nothing. That's why I decided to forgive Julia for her indiscretions years ago no matter how painful it was…I had too. I couldn't live without her and we are happier than ever." He smiled adoringly. "Let's get out of here so we can get you home to see Lark and your baby."

"That's the best idea I've heard all day." Rayne smiled and put her arm around him, helping him back to his wife.

Danielle, Rayne and Lance gathered the guns and ammunition they were able to salvage from the wreckage as Rayne held her watch with a light to check over the map, devising the best route to take once they had the vehicle securely in their possession. "Alright, we have everything together." Danielle informed her, handing Rayne an assault weapon she confiscated from the plane. Rayne slipped the gun over her shoulder as she continued to stare at the map. "Make your shots count because we don't have that much ammunition and hope that there's only four." Danielle answered, displeased by their weaponry.

"Well, we may have to resort to the next deadly weapons if all else fails." Rayne dryly answered with a mischievous grin.

"And that would be?" Danielle asked, arching an eyebrow confused.

"These." Rayne arrogantly answered, holding up her hands.

"Sometimes it's the only way to go." Lance answered with a chuckle, knowing exactly what Rayne meant. He was getting excited about what would soon transpire. His old military fire was burning in the pit of his stomach once again and he never realized how much he missed it until just then. He had gotten used to being a pampered Congressman and had almost forgotten his former military training. He was a highly decorated veteran and being there, brought his desire to complete this mission back. He readied the weapon and grabbed a sturdy stick to help support him as he walked.

"Let's move out." Rayne ordered, her demeanor turning serious as she lifted her end of the litter and looked back to see Danielle lift hers.

The trip to the cottage was daunting, tiring and painful for all as they struggled mightily to carry Julia. They frequently stopped to catch their breath and for pain relief. They finally made it to where the cottage was located much to their relief. The trip had taken longer than they had expected with all of the stops they had to make. Danielle's directions were right on the money and they sat scanning the location from the coverage of the brush. They had a perfect view of the cottage and it's surrounding area. "I'm going off this way to check out the back of the cottage." Danielle informed Rayne in a whisper as Rayne nodded in agreement. Danielle quietly scurried off to check out the cottage.

Rayne watched as the activity around the cottage was very quiet and she noted one man smoking a cigarette near the door. She couldn't see much movement inside and picked up the location of the jeep. She tapped the Congressman on the shoulder to get his attention and pointed to the jeep. He nodded, acknowledging where it was located and they looked for the best route to it from their standpoint. 'Shit.' Rayne exclaimed, disappointed when she saw two more men step outside and join the other guy there. They stepped back in fear that they might be heard. "Let's hope those are three out of the four Danielle saw." Rayne whispered. "Do you think you can get to that point near the road?" She asked, looking at the Congressman and pointing out the destination she was referring to.

"Most definitely." He confidently answered.

"Even carrying mom?" Rayne asked with a grin.

"No problem. I had to carry a two hundred pound man with a bullet wound to my thigh in the war, I shouldn't have any problem carrying my petite, beautiful wife." He cockily smiled.

"Ooh, I knew I loved you for a reason." Rayne mischievously grinned, impressed by the Congressman's exploits.

"Give me a gun Rayne. I can help as well." Julia softly replied, looking up at the pair who stared at her, surprised by her statement. It was all Rayne could do to keep from laughing hysterically at the comment. She imagined how Lark was with shooting a BB gun and just assumed Julia would shoot the same way. She still can't figure out how in the hell Lark was shooting out away from them, but managed to hit her in the ass with the BB when she was trying to teach her how to use a gun. 'Must have ricocheted off the garage.' She thought, her mind wandering to a happier time. "Don't look at me that way. I was the women's champion in the turkey shoots at my college four years in a row. Give me a damn gun!" She demanded and slapped Rayne's hand, offended by the insinuation that she didn't know how to use a firearm.

Rayne chuckled and looked at the Congressman, who nodded in acknowledgement of her statement. "She's one hell of a shot Rayne." He proudly confirmed.

"Yeah, but that was with a BB gun." Rayne replied, still unsure if she could handle one of the high-powered guns.

"She is fully qualified to shoot those guns Rayne, trust me on this one." He assured her.

"When we get home you and I have a date at the gun range. I'll bet I can kick your ass!" She gloatingly smiled, looking up at Rayne.

"Okay…I'll take that bet and trust you with my gun." Rayne smiled and handed Julia her weapon.

Julia took the gun and checked it over. "Nice, very nice." She approved, looking it over.

"Don't get too attached to it and don't lose it." Rayne chuckled and looked at the Congressman. "Get to that point in the road for when we get the jeep. Danielle and I will have to meet up with you at that point shortly." Rayne instructed him and pointed to where she wanted them to rendezvous.

"Are you sure you'll be able to make it there with that leg?" He worriedly asked.

"I can make it anywhere knowing that I will soon see Lark. I'll worry about my leg some other time." Rayne confidently smiled.

"Okay…it shall be done then." He smiled.

"I'll help you get her to the edge of the brush and then you'll be on your own. Wait for my signal to get to the point I referred to. Got it?" She informed him, as she helped lift the litter.

"No problem. I'll see you in the truck. Just make sure you get it!" He cockily smiled as they carried his injured wife to the spot Rayne wanted them at. "Good luck Rayne and be careful." He smiled and hugged her.

"You too and don't drop Mom." Rayne teasingly replied, breaking the hug.

"No way, I'm holding on to her with all my might." He chuckled and stepped back from Rayne, wincing at the pain he felt in his leg from weight bearing on it.

Rayne knelt beside Julia. "Good luck and don't lose my gun." She smiled and kissed Julia on the forehead.

"I won't smart ass. You just make sure you get in that truck in one piece or my daughter will never forgive us and remember, she's spoiled rotten. What Lark wants, she gets and you are who she wants." She smiled and lovingly patted Rayne's cheek.

"I'll be there. Count on it." Rayne arrogantly guaranteed and headed back to meet Danielle. She crouched in the bushes and watched the house. She pulled the photos out of her pocket and adoringly gazed at them, smiling. Her heart fluttered as she looked at the pictures and couldn't wait to get home to see the two loves of her life. She heard a rustle and turned to see Danielle sneak up beside her.

"I saw three inside the cottage from the back. How many did you see?" Danielle asked, squatting next to her.

"Are any of them the three you saw?" Rayne asked, pointing to the men standing at the door.

"Nope, none of them are. Hmmm…so, we are looking at six then?" Danielle asked, chewing her lip nervously and wondering if they will be able to take them all out.

"Yep. Damn. I was hoping there wouldn't be as many." Rayne replied frustrated by the odds. "Let's hope the Congressman and Mom can take a few of them out."

"Julia has a gun?" Danielle asked surprised.

"Yeah, seems she was a turkey shooting champ in college." Rayne chuckled, looking at her.

"We aren't shooting turkeys here!" Danielle worriedly replied.

"Well, even if they just fire at them to keep them away from us, we'll be doing okay."

"Yeah, as long as they don't hit us." Danielle quipped with a smile. Danielle looked down at the pictures in Rayne's hand that watched the activities at the cottage. "Is this your baby?" She asked and felt a catch in her heart that she wasn't having Rayne's child.

"Yes, it is." Rayne proudly smiled and showed her the picture.

"That is so cool and clear. I had no idea the sonogram pictures were so clear." Danielle smiled and gazed at the picture. "Aah…Rayne. I couldn't help but over hear you talking about Lark to the Congressman and I aah…wanted to apologize to you for everything that I've done to the both of you."

"I don't understand why you did that to us, considering the fact that you supposedly love me. Why would you hurt me like that?"

"Because I am in love with you Rayne. I would have done anything to have you in my life and I did some horrible things to you and Lark. I wish you felt the same way about me that you do about Lark and I fully intended to try to win you back on this trip when I found out we would be working together again, but I see there is no way that will happen. I know it sounds sick, but I would do anything for you…to have you. All I ever wanted was for you to love me as you do Lark and there is no way that can ever happen. It saddens me, but it's something that I have to live with and I'm happy for you. I'm sorry for all that I've put you through. I truly am Rayne." She admitted and swallowed the lump in her throat that formed. She had finally came to the realization that there was no way she would ever have Rayne, even if she did manipulate her out of Lark's life and into hers. She could finally see how much she loved Lark and how she always will. She knew that even if Lark and Rayne weren't together and she was with Rayne that she would never have Rayne heart and soul. Rayne would always be thinking of someone else…Lark. She was saddened by this realization as there was no hope left for them to be together and that she was such a fool for all that she had done to the woman she loved so much. She loved her and had to accept the fact that she could never have her. The only thing left for her to do was to be happy for Rayne and wish her a wonderful life.

"Thanks for the apology, but why do it now?" Rayne asked, confused by her motives.

"I wanted you to know that in case something happens when we head out of here."

"Let's hope nothing happens. I have got to get home to Lark. I promised her I would be there for the birth of our child and there is no way anyone will stop me from that. I just hope she didn't have the baby yet with all the stress she's been under lately." Rayne guiltily replied and looked down at the picture of her lover, lightly stroking it with her thumb knowing she was a big cause of Lark's anxiety. 'Man, do I have some serious making up to do when I get back.' Rayne told herself.

"Rayne, it's time for me to atone for my past misdeeds. Well, attempt to do so." She smiled and continued. "I will make sure that you get home to be with Lark and to see your child born, no matter what. I owe that to you both for all the heartache I've caused you." She sincerely informed her with an earnest smile.

Rayne skeptically searched her eyes for the truth in her statement and saw the honesty there. "I appreciate that." Rayne smiled slightly and turned back to see what was going on. She hoped that was the end of Danielle's quest to keep her from Lark and wanted to believe that she was being honest, but it was hard to do so considering all the hateful things she had done to them. Just the same, she would keep her guard up when it came to Danielle. "Okay…it looks like they are heading inside. I'm going straight down the middle to the jeep in front of the cottage." Rayne informed her.

"No, you won't make it to the jeep with that leg. I'll go around the back and take a few out on my way to the jeep. I will be much faster than you getting there. You position yourself there to take anyone out who exits the front of the house." Danielle instructed her and pointed them out to Rayne.

"Okay…I'll be there. Let's hope you are." Rayne agreed, looking at Danielle. As much as she hated to admit it, Danielle was right. There was no way she could make it to the jeep as fast as Danielle could with the injury she had to her leg.

"Good luck." Danielle smiled and stood up to leave.

"You too." Rayne answered and headed through the brush to get to her spot. She readied herself in position and waited to hear the fireworks as Danielle made her way to the back of the house. Her heart pounded excitedly as the adrenaline coursed through her body and heard the gun shots begin, followed by loud shouting coming from the back of the house. She quickly moved towards the front of the cottage to get into position to wait for Danielle and motioned for the Congressman to get moving. She hoped he saw her. She looked up and saw Danielle climb into the jeep, fumbling to start the automobile. Rayne quickly aimed her gun and took the man down who approached the vehicle. She couldn't understand the foreign language the men were shouting, but they were coming closer. She limped as fast as she could towards the path and heard the vehicle finally start.

Rayne tried to avoid the light that was being shined on her as the men searched for the assailants. She heard a bullet whiz by her all too close for comfort and crouched down, unloading a barrage of bullets towards the cottage. She didn't hear any movement or shouting and stood up to run just as the light fixed on her. 'Fuck!' she angrily thought and moved to dodge the light, but fell to the ground when she felt the pain in her arm from the bullet that hit her there.

The flight was extremely uncomfortable for Lark, especially when the doctor would poke and prod her with every piece of medical equipment there was on that plane. Not to mention the fact that Tom stood guard over her as if someone would do something to her in mid-flight. Yes, he snuck on the plane right before take off and was very insistent that he accompany her on the trip. There was no way she was going without him, so she conceded. She made a mental note to thank him profusely once this was all over, as she knew he was doing it on Rayne's orders. As grateful as she was that the doctor, Tom and Jayce were there for her, she felt terrible. The baby was very active and the pressure was unbearable. She was extremely miserable. "Owww!" Lark shouted and doubled over in pain.

"What's going on Lark?" Jayce worriedly rushed to her side and held her hand.

"I'm having terrible pains!" Lark gasped and held her side.

"It sounds like contractions. Start timing them." The doctor alerted her nurse who did as ordered.

Jayce clutched her hand and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Try to relax Lark."

"Yeah, that's freaking easy for you to say considering you're standing there!" Lark sarcastically retorted and clutched his hand tighter as the pain coursed through her.

"Her blood pressure is slightly elevated as well as her pulse." The doctor informed her nurse who continued to time the contractions.

"Is that bad?" Lark worriedly asked and glanced at the doctor, panting to ease the pain.

"It's normal Lark. They are elevated because of the pain you're experiencing. Nothing to worry about." She comfortingly smiled to calm Lark. 'Yet.' She thought as she looked at the monitor, checking Lark's vital signs.

"Owww!!!!" Lark shouted and leaned over, clutching Jayce's hand tighter.

"Easy Lark. Try to calm yourself." He soothingly smiled.

"Jayce, you know I love you, but could you please shut up. I'm in pain!" Lark ordered, looking up at him.

"They are fifteen minutes apart doctor." The nurse nervously informed her, glancing up at the doctor.

"Time to get this bird on the ground." The doctor replied and headed to the cockpit. "How much longer till we land?" She asked, leaning in the doorway.

"About twenty minutes." The co-pilot answered.

"We don't have that long. We need to do an emergency landing and get her on the ground faster than that." She ordered.

The co-pilot nodded, "We'll see what we can do." He answered with a small smile.

"Make it happen. We can't wait much longer." She ordered him and headed back to Lark. "Alright Lark, you have got to stay as calm as possible and whatever you do, don't push!" The doctor ordered, patting her on the shoulder for comfort. "Now is the time for you to start your Lamaze techniques that you learned." She smiled and rubbed Lark's arm to calm her as Lark began her deep breathing.

"Doctor, is the baby alright?" Lark nervously asked, staring at the doctor.

"The baby is fine, don't worry. It could just be false labor pains or it could be that your baby wants to see you sooner than expected." She smiled, trying to ease the anxious woman's mind.

"Will it be too early to deliver three weeks before our due date? Will the baby be okay?" She anxiously asked, the fear consuming her green eyes.

"You have a very large, strong and healthy baby Lark. I don't foresee your child having any problems being born three weeks early. Don't worry. Everything will be fine." She soothingly smiled and checked her vital signs.

"Jayce, what have I done? What am I going to do if something happens to our baby?" Lark worriedly asked, the tears filling her eyes. She was regretting her decision to fly. She couldn't bear it if something were to happen to the baby. She would then be without the two reasons she lived…for Rayne and their child.

"Come on, you heard the doctor. The baby is big and healthy, they will be just fine. Settle down and keep up your breathing. I'm going to have them call my dad's plane to let them know what's going on." He smiled and winked as he headed to the cockpit.

'Please be alright sweetheart. Oh, Rayne where are you? I need you so much right now!' She thought, crying harder.

"Lark!" Rayne exclaimed worriedly and sat up. "Owww!" She winced in pain from her ankle and the new wound she had in her shoulder. She felt something was wrong with Lark and panic consumed her. "I've got to get out of here." She remarked, searching the ground for the gun she dropped and looked up when she heard a gun cock. She rolled out of the gun sight and tried to crawl to her feet, but fell back down, as her injured ankle wouldn't support her as the man shouted. The light moved and found her again as he readied his gun at her. "No way you're taking me you asshole!" She defiantly shouted and made a move for the gun as he fired.

"Rayne!" Danielle shouted and tackled her, just as the shot rang out.

"Aah…!" Rayne shouted in pain when Danielle grabbed her. "Danielle come on get up." Rayne hurriedly told her and grabbed her gun wondering why Danielle wasn't moving. She rolled her off her legs and saw the blood all over Danielle. She stared at her momentarily horrified and shocked. She looked up and fired her gun at the man before them. "You son of a bitch!" She angrily spat, biting her lower lip as she pumped him full of lead and loved every minute of it. Her gun jammed and she grabbed Danielle's, instantly firing into the cottage, one shot after another satisfying her rage as the light went out. She stood breathing hard as she finished her assault on the house and blinked her eyes, trying to bring herself back to reality, satisfied that there were no survivors inside the house. "Danielle." She softly replied and looked down at the woman who had taken a bullet intended for her. "Hey, wake up." She moved Danielle to check over her wounds. "Fuck!" She exclaimed when she saw the extent of her injuries.

"I promised you I would make sure you got home Rayne." Danielle smiled and weakly informed her as she stared at Rayne.

"Shssh…don't talk. Save your energy, I'm getting you out of here." Rayne promised her and put her arms under her to carry the injured woman.

"I'm not leaving here Rayne. This is where I'm destined to die and you know it as well as I do. I accept my fate and I have no regrets for saving your life Rayne. You shouldn't have any either. You have everything to live for, a lovely wife and a child on the way. Please tell my mother that I died doing something heroic. She always thought I was a screw up." She smiled and coughed, growing weaker. "I'm sorry for the pain I caused you Rayne…I truly am." She honestly told her as Rayne wiped the blood from her mouth.

"I will tell her Danielle. I'm sure she'll be very proud of you." Rayne smiled, staring at her.

"I loved you so much." Danielle whispered, staring into the blue eyes before her as she closed her eyes and drifted off in darkness.

"Danielle! Danielle!" Rayne shouted and shook her lifeless body to no avail. "FUCK!" She angrily shouted and ran a frustrated hand through her hair. She felt guilty that Danielle had given her life so she could live. She had wished this fate on her before, but in all actuality she didn't mean it and now that she was dead, she wasn't sure how to handle it. She was amazed that she would sacrifice so much for her, despite the fact that she would never know Rayne's love. "Lark?" Rayne softly replied and looked around as if she was there. "What's going on?" She anxiously wondered and sat Danielle up. She wasn't going to leave her in that god-forsaken war torn country. She squatted down and draped her lifeless body over her healthy shoulder, struggling to stand up. She winced in pain from every injury and ache she had in her body, steadying herself before heading to the jeep. She laid Danielle in the back and hurriedly headed to the driver's seat. She slammed it in gear and spun the tires on the dirt, pulling away from the cottage in search of her in-laws.

Rayne skid the tires on the dirt and hopped out to help them into the jeep before climbing back behind the wheel. "What the hell happened?"

The Congressman asked, looking at Danielle's dead body in the back.

"Danielle exchanged her life for mine." Rayne coldly replied, staring at the road before her. 'I'm on my way honey. Hang on.' She worriedly thought, pleading to Lark as she navigated the rough jeep through the terrain. Every bump in the road sent a jolt of pain through Rayne's injured leg, arm and wrist that fought mightily to control the rugged jeep. She gritted her teeth and continued to drive, as stopping to attend to the pain was not an option.

"Let's hope we find some NATO forces along the way." The Congressman remarked hopeful.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Julia commented and laid her head back on the seat.

"Get something white ready just in case we come across anyone. It may save our life!" Rayne instructed the Congressman, who opened his jacket and tore his dirty white shirt to use a peace sign. She chewed her bottom lip worriedly thinking about Lark. 'I've got to hurry and get back to Lark.' She anxiously thought and sped the jeep down the bumpy road hoping they would soon reach help. Julia had fallen asleep during the ride and the Congressman helped Rayne navigate the dark road as they headed for Macedonia, which seemed to be taking forever to get to. "Put out that white flag, looks like we are going to need it." Rayne nervously informed him as she saw headlights up the road before her. 'Please, be help.' She pleadingly hoped as she stopped the jeep when the lights blocked her way down the road. She cocked her gun, as did the Congressman, just in case they were hostiles.

The ambulance quickly escorted Lark to the military hospital followed by Rayne's family. Rayne's father arranged for her to be treated at the military hospital for security purposes. The doctor continued to monitor Lark's vital signs during the ride to the hospital. "How far apart are her contractions?" The doctor asked her nurse.

"Ten minutes apart now doctor." She answered, checking her watch as Lark screamed out in pain and grasped Jayce's hand tightly.

"It looks like your baby is ready to greet you Lark." The doctor smiled and checked the monitor for the baby.

"No, the baby can't come yet. Rayne's not here." Lark tearfully replied, still holding out hope that Rayne would make it for the birth of their child.

"We may not be able to wait Lark. When the baby's ready to come, we have to sit back and allow it to." The doctor informed her and donned her stethoscope to check the baby's heart beat. She removed the stethoscope and looked at her. "If the contractions get closer and you aren't dilated enough, we will have to perform a cesarean section." The doctor informed her.

"I wanted to have a natural childbirth doctor." Lark protested, disappointed.

"I understand that Lark, but as we discussed a few months ago there was a possibility that you may not be able to do that and we would have to make the decision once you went into labor. I'll check to see how dilated you are and determine what we will do. We have to do what is best for the baby Lark." She reminded her as Lark nodded in agreement.

Rayne cautiously watched as three men exited the vehicle with their guns drawn, but she couldn't make much else out, as the headlights were extremely bright. "Damn…this could get very ugly. Be ready." She softly instructed the Congressman.

"We're ready." Julia answered with a mischievous smile and readied her gun. Rayne snickered and looked back to the jeep before her.

"Step out of the car!" The man ordered as he and two other men tentatively approached the car.

"Did they just speak to us in English? Did I hear that correctly?" The Congressman excitedly asked, turning to Rayne for confirmation.

"You know it!" She smiled and slowly stepped out of the jeep with her hands up. "We are American citizens and we need help." Rayne announced as the men stepped into view and she got a clear picture of the distinct NATO forces uniforms they wore.

"What in the hell are you doing out here? I'm Major Rivera." The man announced, wondering what they were up to as his soldiers cautiously checked the jeep over.

"I'm Secret Service Agent Rayne Donovan and this is Congressman Morgan. We were in a plane crash and…" She attempted to explain and was interrupted.

"We were on our way to search the crash site for you all. We need to get you out of here though as there are many hostile groups in this area. Any injured with you?" He asked, approaching her.

"Tell me about it. We just took out six of them. The three of us are wounded with one severely and another is dead." Rayne explained and looked in the jeep then back to the major.

"Medic…check these people over." He shouted and motioned for his soldier who quickly approached the car.

"Check my wife, she's injured far worse than I am." The Congressman ordered him as he attempted to examine him. He nodded and quickly attended to Julia.

"We need to get her to the hospital, right away." He shouted through the window.

"Let's move out. Private, you stay with her and you…drive the jeep for Agent Donovan. She doesn't look like she's much for driving anymore." He smiled and winked as the soldier slid in behind the wheel of the jeep as Rayne limped around to the passenger's side.

"Man, are we happy to see you all." Rayne enthusiastically greeted the soldier driving the jeep.

"Same here…we've been trying to get out to your group, but the weather was so bad we couldn't. We thought we were going on a body recovery mission." The soldier informed her as he sped the jeep down the road following the rest of his group.

"How far are we?" Rayne asked, eager to get back.

"Maybe twenty minutes from our camp. They will have a helicopter waiting to fly you to the military hospital in Macedonia." The soldier informed her.

"Ooh, another ride huh?" She sarcastically chuckled and watched the road before her.

The tears stung Lark's eyes as she thought about how the birth of their child was supposed to be the happiest moment of her and Rayne's lives, but without Rayne there it just didn't mean the same. Everything was surreal and it just didn't matter as much to her. She remembered the look of pure joy and happiness on Rayne's face when they were told Lark was pregnant. She was surprised by the amount of tears that fell from Rayne's blues from the excitement of the moment. She smiled and fondly remembered how Rayne bought numerous books on childbirth, raising children and books to read to the baby. Not to mention all the toys and gifts she purchased for the child. She knew with Rayne, that their child would want for nothing. She cried harder as she inwardly reminisced about how Rayne never missed an opportunity to talk to their child or read the baby a story. 'She was so caring and tender with us. She made sure she was involved in every aspect of the pregnancy.' Lark lovingly remembered and wiped away the tears as fresh ones fell at the memory of Rayne's face when they saw their baby for the first time in a sonogram. 'The look was so sweet, so full of pure joy, happiness and pride…unconditional love. All rolled into one brief look and it conveyed everything Rayne felt for me and the baby.' Lark adoringly thought and wanted to see that look from Rayne when their baby was born. 'I have to see it again.' She sadly thought, hoping a miracle would happen. "Doctor! I think my water broke!" Lark nervously exclaimed, feeling something very unusual.

"Yes, it seems that it has. It won't be long now." The doctor explained and helped wheel the gurney into an examining room as hospital personnel led the way.

"It's going to be alright Lark. The baby will be fine. I'll stay right here with you if you want me to." Jayce comfortingly smiled and held her hand as he walked beside the gurney.

"Yes, I would like that Jayce…thank you." She smiled looking up to him and shouted out in pain from the contraction. The medical personnel quickly checked her over. "Is the baby ready to come out now?" Lark worriedly asked and looked down to the doctor.

She stood up, finishing her exam and walked beside Lark as she removed her gloves. "Well, the baby is ready to come out but you're not dilated enough yet. We'll wait a little while longer and see how much more you dilate before proceeding with the C-section." She explained with a smile and patted Lark's arm to settle her before consulting with the medical staff.

Lark inhaled deeply and felt her tears trickle down her face thinking about how much she wanted Rayne to there with her. She looked around the room at all of the machines her and the baby were hooked up to. 'Please come to me Rayne. I need you...our baby needs you.' She sadly pleaded, the fresh tears streaking her face.

Rayne wasn't pleased by the fact that they would have to stop at the hospital in Macedonia before heading back to the states, but agreed it was the best thing to do considering Julia's condition. She hated the helicopter ride even worse; it brought back too many memories of the crash. She had to admit that the painkillers helped to take the edge off during the ride, not to mention the pain. The ride was short and sweet much to their relief. They rushed Julia off the helicopter towards the hospital entrance as she was met by a swarm of medical personnel. Rayne patiently waited as they unloaded the Congressman and pleaded with them to let her walk, but they refused. She felt so stupid being wheeled in on a gurney as if it was a sign of weakness to not walk into the hospital. She decided to lie back and enjoy the ride into the hospital. She tried to forget about everything that happened and instead she concentrated on Lark. She needed to talk with her to let her know that she was alive. 'Oh, how wonderful it is to be back amongst civilization.' She thought on the elevator ride down to the emergency room, knowing she would soon talk to and see Lark. "I need to use the phone to contact my partner right away." She informed the nurse as they wheeled her out of the elevator.

"Just as soon as the doctor checks you over." She answered and pushed the gurney down the hallway.

"No, I need to call now!" Rayne demanded and grabbed the door jam, halting the gurney's progress.

"Yes, Okay…thank you doctor." John Donovan spoke into the phone before hanging up. "The doctor just informed me that the contractions are closer now and they are taking Lark in for an emergency cesarean section. She isn't dilated enough to deliver the baby who is very adamant about coming out." John solemnly informed his family.

"Oh, God…what else could happen? I don't know if I can take anymore surprises." Maria tearfully replied and hugged her husband.

"Everything is going to be fine my love…I just know it." He lovingly informed her and kissed his wife's head as his eyes widened, his face blanched at the sight before him.

"Dad what's wrong?" Shayan asked, confused by his father's look.

"Aah…do you see what I aah…see?" He nervously stammered, wondering if he was seeing a ghost as he pointed out in the hallway. Everyone looked and gasped when they saw Rayne arguing with the nurse.

"Oh, my God!" Maria gasped and rushed out of the room. "Rayne! Rayne!" She tearfully shouted, running for her daughter.

"Mom?" She questioned, confused as she saw her mother, father, brother and sister-in-law engulf her in a hug. "Oh, baby. We thought we lost you forever." She cried and clutched her daughter.

"No way, you should know I'm too damn stubborn to die. What are you doing here? Where's Lark?" She worriedly asked.

"Well, honey. Aah…Lark decided that she wanted to come here to be close to you and to make sure they continued the search and aah…she went into labor." Her father attempted to explain as he wiped the tears of happiness from his face.

"What? Where is she?" She nervously asked and pulled the covers off of her. She swung her feet over the edge of the gurney to sit up.

"She's in the delivery room Rayne." Shayan informed his anxious sister.

"Where's your delivery room?" Rayne hurriedly asked the nurse.

"Miss Donovan I can't advise that you go there before being checked out first." The nurse tried to reason with her.

"I really don't give a damn what you advise lady, just tell me where the fucking delivery room is before I tear this hospital apart finding it!" Rayne angrily replied, narrowing her stare at the woman.

"Fifth floor." The nurse nervously answered and swallowed the lump in her throat.

"See how easy that was?" She sarcastically smiled and pulled the IV out of her hand, rushing to the elevators. "She can't advise me to go before being checked out! Give me a fucking break! I survived a damn plane crash, carrying Julia down the mountain, being shot, driving a jeep with an injured leg and she wants me to wait? Unbelievable!" Rayne fumed animatedly on her way to the elevator as Shayan and Holly chuckled.

"Man, am I happy my sister is back." Shayan proudly and happily smiled as he looked at Holly.

"Rayne!" Her mother shouted and rushed behind her. "Are you sure you're well enough to go up there now?" She nervously asked as everyone followed her onto the elevator. She noted her haggard, battered, bloodied and tired look. She looked as if she was ready to collapse at any minute.

"I'm plenty strong Mother. I made a promise to Lark and there's no way I'm going to break it by not being with her when our child is born." She defiantly informed her, as she anxiously waited for the elevator to stop on the fifth floor. She shot out of the elevator and quickly headed towards the nearest nurse. She explained who she was and the nurse ushered her towards the delivery room.

"John, our baby is alive!" Maria tearfully exclaimed, the happy smile consuming her face as she watched Rayne limp off to find Lark.

"I told you everything would be alright." He joyfully replied and looked up mouthing, 'Thank you,' as he held his wife to wait for news on their new grandchild.

Jayce comfortingly held Lark's hand and lightly pushed her hair back, waiting for the procedure to begin. The doctor's had administered the epidural and Lark closed her eyes to rest before the doctor began the procedure. Jayce looked up and down, then back up again…amazed. He caught a glimpse of the familiar blues before him and had to be sure it was for real…it was his sister in fact. Rayne smiled as he stood up. He clutched Rayne's hand confirming what he saw was no ghost. The tears of joy quickly streaked his face as his heart pounded with excitement that he had his sister back. They didn't say a word, only speaking through their eyes as everything they needed to say was conveyed in that one look. Jayce sat back down and leaned close to Lark. "Hey, Lark." He softly spoke and stroked her forehead lightly with his thumb. Sleepy, sad greens met cloudy blues. "I have to leave I can't stay." He tearfully replied in a whisper, his emotions consuming him that his sister was alive.

"No, don't leave me. I'm scared." Lark pleaded, clutching his hand tighter as Rayne's heart lurched at Lark's admission.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, besides there's someone else you would rather have here than me." He warmly smiled and glanced up to Rayne then back down to Lark.

Lark was confused and wasn't sure what he was talking about. She furrowed her brow and saw him look back up again. Lark slowly turned her head to the left and stared into the blue eyes she so desperately wanted and needed to see. She was speechless and wondered if it was reality or the constant dream she had that Rayne was alive. "Hey, sweets. I hear our baby is already showing it's rebellious streak by coming early." Rayne teasingly smiled, catching the breath that momentarily escaped her when her eyes met Lark's. She had waited for this moment for so long and feared that she would never see Lark again. She wanted to pull Lark in her arms and hold her tightly, never letting her go. She gallantly fought the tears that struggled to break free to no avail. She couldn't control them any longer.

Lark blinked repeatedly and realized it wasn't a dream when Rayne spoke to her and held her hand. She began to cry and slowly reached up to touch Rayne's face as she leaned closer to Lark. "You're alive." She whispered through her tears as Rayne's thumb lightly stroked her forehead.

Rayne turned and kissed her hand. "That's right, I made you a promise that I fully intended to keep my love." Rayne lovingly answered and leaned down to kiss Lark. The feel of Rayne's lips against hers felt better than she ever imagined or remembered that they ever would. She cried harder as Rayne deepened the kiss. Lark rested her hand behind Rayne's neck, not allowing her to go anywhere.

"Rayne!" The doctor smiled, surprised to see her. "I'm so glad that you are alive. What do you say we meet your baby?" She exuberantly asked, looking over the drape.

Rayne and Lark broke the kiss and looked at the doctor sheepishly. "Aah…sure." Rayne stammered embarrassed and looked at Lark. She smiled and kissed her briefly. "I love you honey…let's meet our baby." Rayne proudly and excitedly replied, flashing a sexy grin followed by a wink. Rayne leaned back to sit on the stool the nurse had offered for her and clutched Lark's hand tightly. She winked at Jayce who patted her back before passing by her, exiting the room. "It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here baby." Rayne reassuringly informed Lark as she saw the fear in Lark's eyes. She sat on the stool and stared into Lark's green eyes, raising her hand for a kiss. She held Lark's hand close to her heart and just took in everything about her beautiful lover. She couldn't say a word. She was awestruck and unable to say everything that Lark meant to her, to tell her how sorry she was for everything. Her heart ached for the pain she caused Lark and yet it felt as though it would explode from the happiness she felt being with Lark again.

"I knew you were alive Rayne. Nobody believed me, but I knew." Lark dreamily informed her smiling and unable to look away from Rayne. She was afraid that if she looked away or let go of her hand she would disappear…the thought terrified her. She couldn't stop staring at her or release the death grip on her hand.

Rayne watched as the physician made the incision and looked back at Lark concerned. "I missed you so much baby. I'm so sorry for everything." Rayne tearfully told Lark as she kissed her hand. "Are you okay? Are you in any pain?" She worriedly asked, leaning closer to Lark. She had to push those thoughts out of her head or she would break down and be useless to Lark. She knew that Lark needed her to be strong and be there for her. She could see the fear in her eyes and had to be comforting, not a blubbering fool. That would come later.

"I'm fine…absolutely fine now that you are here honey. This is the way the birth of our child was suppose to be, with the both of us Rayne. It means so much more now that you are here with us." Lark lovingly smiled and clutched Rayne's hand tighter.

"There was no way a stupid plane crash was going to keep me from seeing our child born and there was no way I was going to leave the both of you." Rayne tearfully smiled, feeling guilty about the pain and heartache she caused Lark. "Are you sure you're alright?" Rayne nervously asked her heart raced with concern as she watched the procedure that was being performed. She felt a catch in her heart and guilt that Lark had to have a caesarean section when she had her heart set on natural childbirth. It was her fault that their child would be born this way, but she knew that was something she would have to atone for, as well as many other things.

"I promise." Lark answered with a laugh. "Don't be so nervous." She comfortingly smiled, shaking Rayne's hand to distract her from the operation that was worrying her.

"I'm not nervous, what makes you think that?" Rayne asked shakily as her eyes darted back and forth, absorbing everything that was happening.

"Rayne!" Lark exclaimed and pulled her closer, locking warm green's with stormy blues. "Calm down…I had an epidural so I can't feel a thing." Lark reassured her with a warm smile.

Rayne stared at her and chuckled. "I guess I am nervous. I'll be fine." She laughed and stood up to get a better look as the doctor pulled the baby's hand out of the womb. Her eyes widened and her heart raced when she saw the baby's hand. She looked back at Lark and excitedly exclaimed, "I see the baby's hand!"

"Really?" Lark enthusiastically asked and lifted her head up to see, but only saw the blue drape.

"I can see the whole baby now." Rayne's joy filled voice informed her and looked at Lark who clutched her hand tighter. Lark's heart raced with excitement, joy and happiness. She had the love of her life back, alive and their child was soon to join them. What more could she ask for as her dreams had all come true? She cried harder as she saw the joy and excitement in Rayne's eyes as she gazed upon their child for the first time. She had waited for that moment for so long. To see their child through Rayne's eyes and it was beautiful. "It's a…it's a." Rayne replied, her voice thick with emotion as she strained her neck over the blue drape to see the sex of the baby. The doctor tilted the baby, revealing its sex to her. She gasped at the beauty of their child and the life their love produced. She caught the breath that escaped her and turned to Lark with a proud, exuberant smile. She leaned down to kiss Lark whispering, "We have a beautiful baby…" Rayne lovingly deepened the kiss, "girl honey." She adoringly smiled, affectionately staring into Lark's twinkling greens.
