A/N: Hey guys! Enjoy!

Title: Last Night

7 months pregnant…

"Nelson?" I called out when I walked in the house. I heard a few clanks of metal and then the water in the kitchen turn on. He was starting dinner. I snuck into the kitchen and walked in silently. He was bent over, looking into the cabinet under the sink. His sexy ass covered by jeans stared me in the face. I crept up behind him and smacked his butt.

"Hey sexy." I said with a chuckle.

"EXCUSE ME?" The voice was deep. The person grabbed there bottom and turned to look at me. My eyes grew wide and I jumped back.

"M-Mr. Meadow… W-what are you doing here?" I asked as I swallowed. He gave me the stink eye.

"I was gonna start dinner… Is that how you approach everyone?" He said with a stern expression. I gulped and shook my head.

"W-where's Nelson?" I voice cracked. He pointed to the bedroom and went back to cooking. Well that was embarrassing.

I walked into our room and went to sit on Nelson's side of the bed. It took me a few minutes to realize something on the floor. The bathroom light was on, but leading up to the door were drops of red. I quirked my eyebrow and got up from the bed to check on Nelson. I walked to the door and pushed it open.

My eyes widened. I stared at Nelson and wanted to cry. His eyes were red and tears stained his face. He sat on the toilet holding his round stomach with one hand and holding up the blood-covered hand clear enough for me to see. My jaw dropped.

"N-Nelson what's happening?" I asked in shock.

"It won't stop." He cried. My eyes frantically roamed around the bathroom. I spotted his jeans on the floor drenched in blood. His thighs were covered in the red mess and he looked tore between passing out and breaking down into an emotional disaster. I rushed to his aid and helped him stand. He collapsed in my arms and screamed out in pain. His bloody hand gripped my shirt and his other hand wrapped around his stomach again.

"What do I need to do?"

"H-hospital." He cried. I nodded. Neglecting to clean him up a bit I was worried and I just wanted to help him. I rushed him out to the room and laid him on the bed. His dad rushed in.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SON?" He yelled. I dialed the phone and stared at him.

"DAD!" Nelson yelled out. He reached for his hand and he took it.

"AHHH!" Nelson screamed out. I was starting to cry for him. I finally got a hold of the doctor and told her what was happing. She said she's sending an ambulance right away. I told Nelson's dad and had his get me warm towels and a pair of pants for Nelson.

"What happened babe?" I asked as I brushed his hair back. I gripped his hand and gave him a sympathetic frown.

"Ryker… I'm losing her." He sobbed.

"No, no you're not. She's okay. I promise!" I yelled out.

"No-No Ryker…" He shook his head. I shook my own head and continued to stand by him.

"Where are the boys?" I asked Nelson's dad.

"With your mother." He explained. I nodded and looked back at Nelson. I put my hand to his head and sighed. He was running a fever now.

"Honey…when did this happen?"

"I-I was trying to take a nap." He cried. I nodded and continued to listen. "Then I thought I had to go to the bathroom-I got up and I saw the blood dripping from me. I tried to call for you, but you weren't home yet."

"Where were you?" I spat at his father.

"I didn't hear him!" He held up his hands defensively.

"What are you here in the first place?" I asked.

"Nelson called me and asked if I'd help around the house today while you were gone. I don't know." He shrugged. The doorbell rang and Mr. Meadow let the paramedics in. I guided them to Nelson and they took over.

I followed behind in the car and Mr. Meadow went home to get Mrs. Meadow.

Hospital…

"AHHH- GAH IT HURTS!" Nelson cried. I held his hand and prayed we weren't losing our baby girl…even though I had this heart wrenching feeling that we already did.

When Nelson found out it was girl I was so excited. I finally was going to have a daughter. He was excited too. The doctor said we would have a healthy pregnancy, but look at us now. I don't call this healthy.

"Nelson I need you to relax for me honey." The doctor said. We were trying to get as much information as we could, but he was only screaming in pain.

"GAH- SHE'S COMING!" He cried.

"Nelson do you feel like you need to push?" She asked. He shook his head violently.

"Wait-he's in labor?" I exclaimed.

"No he's miscarrying, but he's dilated. The wait before you found him he was probably trying to push. I was hoping to get more information from him, but he hasn't calmed down enough to tell me." She explained. We were rushing him to the OR just incase there was a complication when he started to push.

"We lost the baby?" I asked. Yes. That was all she told me. The nurses in the room and the doctors were too busy getting everything ready while Nelson was having a fit over here. He was screaming and crying in pain. I felt worse because there was nothing I could do.

"Put this on." Once of the nurses said. I put on the scrubs in the prep room quickly.

"AHHH-GET IT OUT!" Nelson screamed out. He was propped up in the bed with his feet in stirrups.

"Push down Nelson." The doctor instructed. As Nelson pushed they searched for a heartbeat or anything on the monitors. They hooked him up to everything…nothing. Silence from all machines.

"Almost there Nelson. Come on, a few more pushes. The pain will stop." She said. Nelson's face was red from pushing. He was sweaty and stressed.

"UGH!" He panted as he collapsed against the pillows. I stood next to him in fear and shock. What was going on right now?

"AH-HA OW!" He yelped when she was ripped from him. I stared at my baby and cried. She was motionless. She wasn't breathing. Nelson lolled his head back and fourth. I could tell he was exhausted. I wish I could be superman for my daughter and save her. I would go the limits to bring her back. I want to feel her kick inside Nelson again. I want to watch her grow. I want her-

Several hours later…

I walked into Nelson's room with a teddy bear and his favorite magazine. He was resting from the previous events from last tonight. I brushed back his hair and kissed his forehead. My poor baby is going to be so heartbroken when he wakes up.

"I love you." I whispered.

"Mm…" He groaned. His face scrunched up as he woke. I looked down at him and sighed as I continued to brush his hair back.

"Morning sweetheart." I spoke softly.

"Morning." He frowned.

"We lost her…didn't we?" He asked. I frowned and nodded.

"I'm sorry love." I said. He laid his head back on the pillows and began to sob.

"Oh honey." I sat on the bed and pulled him into a hug.

"I tried so hard!" He cried.

"I know babe. I know- I'm so sorry." I let Nelson sob against my chest for a long time. Nothing could compare to the heartbreak of seeing my own baby dead and my husband in so much pain. This is one of the worst moments of my life… Last night was scary.

8 years later…

Nelson's POV:

It's been eight years since I lost my precious Lizzy. I hate the days still that she is not with us. I never got to see my bright baby's smile like I wanted to. Since then I haven't tried to have another baby. I've been too afraid, but we do have another baby on the way.

"Nelson come on, the baby's already here!" Ryker called out. I ran with my shoes in my hand. We had gotten a new house a year after I had Lizzy. The boys are 10 and can't wait to meet their new sibling. I sat on the step and tied my shoes.

"Come on, babe." Ryker laughed. I smiled and stood up. He hung my coat on my shoulders and I took care of it. We got in the car and drove to the hospital. Once we got there we went up to the maternity wing and found our surrogate. She was more of a teenage mother we were helping out. She was giving up her baby for adoption and we said we'd be more then happy to adopt the baby. We still don't know what it is, and we kind of can't wait to find out.

"Hey Paige." I leaned down and hugged her. She hugged me back and smiled.

"You guys will be so happy, it's adorable." She teared up.

"Paige, you will never know how much this means to us." I cried. Paige let her tears fall and she nodded. They wheeled the baby in and I instantly was attached. She started to cry. She was now mine. A baby girl I was finally able to call mine. I picked her up from the basinet and held her. She looked a lot like her birth mother. I was so happy that she did. Paige was a beautiful girl and she deserved to also be a beautiful girl. I turned to Paige and thanked her again. She was happy to see me happy. She was so worried I'd give her back and not want her or something. I told her she was crazy to think that. Paige would say over and over again how she just wants the best for this little girl and I made sure to tell her Ryker and I would give her the world, which we would.

"Hey beautiful." I cried as I looked at her precious face. She gurgled a little and squirmed in my arms.

"I'm your mommy." I said happily.

"And I'm your dad." Ryker said over my shoulder. He let her grab his finger. He smiled and wiggled her hand. We had an open adoption planned so Paige would get to see the baby. We also told her that we would love for her to name the baby.

"I've been set on Hope…how about it?"

"Ian, Joel and Hope." I examined the name mixture and smiled. I loved it.

"Hope." I said when I looked at her. She was my Hope. I kissed her forehead and let Ryker hold her for a bit.

A few days went by and Paige was still okay with giving Hope up. We went home as a family and we have all been happy ever since.

The boys are in love with her. They help me whenever they get the chance. It's so much better have six hands here instead of four. Ryker and I could probably handle Hope on our own as teenagers, but the boys were a hassle. We love them, but my god they were tough.

"Can I hold her?" Ian asked.

"No I want to hold her!" Joel fought. I sighed and held Hope close to me.

"Your brothers are crazy to think they are going to hold you when they're fighting, huh?" I joked playfully as I bounced her in my arms. The boys pouted and walked away from me. I laughed and soon Ryker came home from work. When it comes down to it I'm happy with how my life turned out. Even thought I had some rocky times, everything seems to work out in the end.

Later that night…

I had just finished making and serving dinner. I put Hope to bed and sat with the family while they ate. The boys ran off to bed and I sat with Ryker in the TV room. Silence is a virtue.

"MOM IAN THREW UP!" Joel yelled. I sighed and laid my head back against Ryker's arms. He laughed and pushed my head up. I looked at him and growled jokingly. My job as a mom never stops even when the kids are in bed. I walked into the boys room and over to Ian.

"It's alright bud. Come on." I helped him out of bed and into the hall bathroom. He smelled of vomit and the dinner we just had. Great smell let me tell ya'.

"I-I didn't mean to." He sucked in an unsteadied breath. I nodded and laid a cold down over his neck.

"I know you didn't honey. You can't help it. I know." I told him. He still struggles with his stomach, and recently I've noticed it getting worse. After he eats he either ends up with a stomachache or just throws up. Even on medication he can't avoid either one.

Joel has a little bit of a learning problem and has been placed in special education classes aside from his regular classes. Ian wears glasses and Joel only wears glasses for reading. As a mother I feel like I failed a little, but what can I do? I just have to pray that they grow up strong and healthy with the off chance that I taught them well.

I finished up with Ian and put him into bed. I dragged Ryker to bed and we laid down after washing up.

"Ah, night babe." Ryker sighed contently before kissing me.

"Wait, I want to talk for a little while." Ryker opened his eyes and smiled at me.

"Fine. What about?" He asked.

"I'm so happy." I stated happily.

"Me too? Why the sudden need to tell me?" He chuckled.

"Because I love you and I want you to know what you have done for me. I'm happy, and it's because of you."

"How so?" He teased.

"For starters you are an amazing husband and the most amazing father. I gush over how much you love the kids and how amazing you are with them."

"That it?" He smiled.

"No and I'm happy that ten and a half years ago we had sex and had the most amazing children in the world."

"You're welcome for the sex, and thank you. I try my best to be dad and husband of the year." He smiled and kissed my nose. I whispered I love you and kissed him.

"I'm grateful to have you Nelson." He smiled. I cuddled up closer to Ryker and breathed in his sent. I fell asleep in his embrace that night, happy as ever. All because of that night ten years ago I'm the luckiest person on earth.

Oh by the way you're probably wondering what happened to everyone right? Well Eric went on to be a laky for Otis once again. He works in some building owned by Otis in the city. They are making money, but not as much as they could be. Tina and Rick got married supposedly and had a baby I think. Ryker still hates him of course and I don't see why not. Drew moved on too. He got married and finally had a big family. Maddy works for a big publishing company with Marie and they seemed to become very wealthy some how. Chassidy still hosts amazing parties-for weddings of course. Yeah she went on to be a wedding planner. She loves her job and still comes to visit every now and then. She did our wedding as a matter of fact. My wonderful dog Shilo passed a while back. He was with my parents and became sick over time. Well at least we know what happened to everyone. I'm just glad that something bad turned into something amazing. If I was back at that party waking up the next morning and I had remembered everything I'd be able to say last night was amazing, but I'm kind of happy with the adventure I got from it. I got my husband and my three wonderful kids. What else can life hand me?

A/N: DONE! Tell me what you think guys! This is the last chapter of Last Night! I think it was kind of short and shitty, but let me know.
