{This.Is.It} It's Finally here!{E.R.I.K.A}

[shadyrock]

Justin knew he couldn't regain Gaby's trust again. She would dump him soon. He would now loose the only two people he felt he was close to." I can work at home on some days but the hours are later at night."

He said sitting down on a bench knowign Gaby didn't care any more. He had failed at being the best for her he could be. Holding back tears he looked up at Gaby hug whit. Hope she will be happy knowing he couldn't.

[Whit {is great}]

Whit hugged Gaby back, but let her go just as quickley. He felt at some part for them breaking up, or at least about to break up. He didn't feel for Gaby more then a friend, he was falling for Evan, and up to then Gaby was taken, but he wasn't sure how she felt about him. Whit hoped she didn't like him then more then friends, that would just mess him up. "Thanks Gaby." He said grinning, and he put his hands back in his pockets.

"I'm going to go see Kestin now, don't want to leave him alone too long." He then said as he took a few steps towards Kestin's wing. Not only did he want to see Kestin, he wanted to leave Gaby and Justin alone to sort out their problems. Without him being there to maybe play a part on Gaby's opnion on Justin, he really didn't want them to break up.

Gabriella sighed and watched Whit walk away. There goes her protection, her distraction from her feelings of hurt towards Justin. Gabriella didn't want to admit that she was falling for Whit. Not because she really wanted to leave Justin, it was just...Whit's been there for her more. Justin seemed to still want a lot out of life. He wanted a career and a family, and sometimes those two things clash. From experience she learned that these things clash even more so when her twins got involved into the matter. How could he have enough time for his kid plus the twins, plus Erika, and still have time to make Gaby feel special, or at least important.

A girl needs two things in life. To fall in love, and to be treated like a princess. Gaby needed to be treated like a princess, now that she had been in love, and wasn't sure if she still was. Unfortunatly for Justin, he picked a not so forgiving woman to be his fiancee. Gaby couldn't just put things behind her and be happy about it. She spoke her feelings out and usually couldn't allow herself to keep waiting for someone, especially Justin. He just totally ruined all her trust for him. And the only excuse he gave her was that he had a job...typical guy.

She turned to Justin, the man who she called her fiancee, and she wished she could just forgive him and make it better. Realizing that this wasn't possible, she went back to covering her face from tears.

Justin saw from the corner of his eyes cover her eyes and cry. He shook his head and tried hard not to cry himself. It was hard though, He had spent a long time with Gaby, it won't be the same with out her. She was pregnat with his baby and if she didn't want it he ould galdly have it.

Justin couldn't stand this anymore, he stood upp and slowly walked to the door and knocked on it. A nurse appeared and said," Yes." He sighed and said," Can I see how she is doing?" The nurse faintly smiled and noodedholding the door open so he could walk in. After he was in the nurse shut the door behind him.

[Whit {is great}]

After seeing Justin walk into the room, Whit couldn't leave Gaby, so he stopped walking away, and he came over to her, "I'm sorry Gaby." He said to her, and he wrapped his arms aroud her to comfert her, "I'm so sorry." He mumbled into her hair. This wasn't right, Gaby didn't deserve to be treated like this, she was after all pregnant with Justin's child, and she was too good for this. Why did the big guy have to pick on the good people in the world? Whit just didn't get that.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gaby felt some relief lifted off her as she cried into Whit's shoulder. She was glad she had such a caring male friend. Most guys were jerks and most guys would walk away, but Whit didn't, and thats what made Gaby so comforable with him. "Whit, what did I do to deserve this? Why do I keep having such bad luck with men? What am I doing wrong?" she asked as she continued crying.

[shadyrock]

Justin saw his dying sister lay on the bed motionless. He walked slowly over to her side tears rushing down his cheeks. As he got to the bed he layed his hand on Erikas arm. It was warm. He smilied slightly and kneeled down to her ears level. "Gaby hates me know." He wispered queitly into her ear.

Erika heard the soft voice of Justin and her heart relaxed.She opened her eyes and looked at him and asked," How come?"

[Whit {is great}]

Whit didn't know what to tell her, so he told her what he was thinking, "I don't know Gabby, I honestly don't know." He kept his arms around her, letting her cry onto his shoulder like she had him, and rubbed soft circles into her back. Whit knew they were totally useless, but he was trying to show her that he cared, and hated to see her cry like this. Whit was bad in that sense, all you had to do was break out in tears infront of him, and he'd give you the world if he could. Too bad he was unable to figure out how to do that, so he turned into a big, six foot five teddy bear.

[shadyrock]

Justin sat on the edge of her bed holding his hands in his head." Because I wasn't there for her. And because she is just acting like a b****." He said throwing a pillow onto the floor. Erika shook her head and said," Justin your acting imature and childish. It is kinda you r faulkt cause-" SHe was cut short by Justin who stood up and grabbed the pillow and flung it at Erika and said," MY FAULT! WHAT THE FU** ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!" Erika clamly looked at him and said," Justin you shouold of checked on her." Justin glared at her and stormed off to the door and when he got there turned around." I hope you die." He said to her as he slammed the door behind him and as he stormed down the hall leaving to go home.

Erika flet tears come out of her eyes. She needed someone.The first person who popped into her head was Gaby. " Can I have another vistor?" She asked the nurse near-by. The nurse nodded and wen outside to Gaby and said," Miss Gabrielle Erika would like to see you." SHe smilied and went back into the room.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gaby sat on the bech, eyes still streaming from her eyes as she listened to Justin's outbreak. She couldn't help but feel guilty for being a bad fiancee to Justin. Was it really over with them? Was she really turning more towards Whit than she was her fiancee? It was all too stressful. She looked up and gasped as Justin stormed through, not even glaring at her. He did nothing to show her he still cared. So okay, maybe she was acting selfish, but it's not a crime to want to be treated specially by your fiancee for pete's sake.

A puzzled look crossed Gabriella's face when the nurse told her Erika wanted to see me. "Erika wants to see ME?" she asked the nurse softly. The nurse nodded and motioned Gaby to follow her into Erika's room. Gaby reluctantly followed. She didn't know what to say to Erika, but she understood Erika needed someone to support her and tell her all would turn out for the better. She entered into Erika's room in complete silence, just staring at Erika with soft eyes, still watery from all the crying Justin caused her again.

Gaby searched for the words that would help Erika and in the end all she came out with was a polite "Hello." She looked at Erika again and hoped that she would get better. Hopefully Erika's fate would not be the same one Lucy had. "How are you feeling?" she asked, in attempt to make small talk and show that she was worried about Erika's health.

[shadyrock]

Justin stormed out of the hospital not knowing what to do. His fiance hated him, his sister was taking Gaby's side, what would he do with his life?He got into his car and started it. The way he felt right now was confusing. He felt sad,mad, and all other emothions put together making him in this kinda a sensation. He couldn't talk anymore and he could barely see... Was he going mental?

As Erika saw the red faced gaby enter the room she burst out crying. Mascara streacked down her cheeks leaving black trials on it's way down. This was all her fault she had distracted Justin so much that he left Gaby. " I am sorry..." She sobbed chocking on the words. Erikas stomach lurched at the though of where Justin was now? Was he out getting drunk? Crying in a corner? Oh whatever he was doing Erika would regret it.

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gabriella stood there, as if she was motionless, as Erika cried. What could Gaby do? She was so upset with the Christensen family lately, what did they expect her to do? If she wasn't so upset then she'd normally comfort Erika and tell her that it wasn't her fault, but in this situation that would be lieing. Because the fact of the matter is that it was all Erika's fault. She distracted Justin from Gaby entirely and she can't help but to feel that this is what Erika wanted all along. Back in Mountain Springs Erika always threatened to destroy Gaby and Justin's relationship, and now she succeeded. Gaby continued blankly staring at Erika, rage in her eyes.

She pulled back away from Erikas bed and faced the wall. "What do you want me to do Erika? Accept your apology and get back with Justin and pretend that this never happened?! I'm sorry but I just can't do that." she explained, holding back the wallowing tears in her own eyes. "I just can't. This wound in our relationship just may be too big to heal, and I wish I could tell you that it wasn't your fault, but then I'd be lieing." she continued, expressing her feelings out to Erika un-intentionally.

With that said, Gaby walked over to the chair in Erika's room and sat down, once again staring at Erika, waiting for her reaction. Did she feel bad about kicking Erika while she was down? Yeah, but what she just said was going to spoken at some point. Why wait till later? It will still hurt and it still won't be solved then either.

[shadyrock]

Erika listened to Gaby listening the sadness and rage in her voice. Tears rushed down her cheeks as the pain in her heart and her stomach welled up. She couldn't help any of the bad thngs she has done.

"Gaby-" Erika started but couldn't continue. She relized Gaby now had 3 kids with no support all because of herself. She hated herself she thought she was a terrible person..."I can't erase the terrible things that I have done..." She calmly stated tears still flushing out of her eyes. "I've got no where...No friends...But I guess I deserve it."

A big pain exploded in her stomach as she cried out clutching her stomach in pain. The nurse rushed to her and felt her stomach." It's Coming..." The nurse ran out to get the doctor. Erika looked over at Gaby glaring at her like they were mortal enemies. She shook her head and muttered," I'm sorry..." The doctor came in and checked a chart. " Early... not another... They have a slim chance of living." He said to the nurse as worry sorounded his voice."They?" The nurse asked. "Yes she is having twins." The doictor answered walking over to Erika. Erika cried out again this time it hurt worse. She knew she was going to die...

[Gaby.Lily.Kaci.Eva.Cam♥]

Gaby stood there, barely listening to whatever had said because now she was way too worried about Erika's health and her childrens health as well. Panic began to set in as the doctors rushed around the room, examining charts, checking her blood pressure. What was happening? Suddenly Gabriella felt the sadness that crouches upon you when you realize one of your loved ones might quite possibly be fading away. She didn't want her last conversation with Erika to be about a fight so she desperatly fought the doctors away so she could have a few, possibly last, words with her.

"Oh Erika, I'm so sorry. It really isn't your fault. Justin had his choice and he chose to stay with you, and now I see why. I had no idea that you were--well you know." she began, not wanting to say the word 'dieing'. "Erika, I don't have much time but you have to listen to me. Your a much better person that I can ever hope to be and no matter what happens just know that I'll always love you." she said as she began wiping the tears from her eyes. "And just trust me when I say that you'll be alright and if anything should happen, if you want, I could take care of your kids. But fi you don't want me to then that's fine, but you have to let me know before I leave just as a precaution." she began, realizing that she was probrably getting Erika scared. "But I'm sure you'll be fine and after all of this, we can forget about everything that happened, and go back to being best friends, I still love you." The nurses began frantically pulling her away, saying that she'd have a better chance of survival if Gaby would leave the room so they could deliver the babies and everything. As security began carriying her to the door Gaby shouted "Stay strong, you'll do fine. And don't you dare leave me!"

[shadyrock]

Unable to speak or move Erika tried to atleast smile as Gaby said the sweet words to her. As a few sucurity agents pulled her out she tried to scream for her to say but niose couldn't go out of her throat. She mouthed 'I love you' and turned facing the ceiling. She was very nervous and wasn't ready. As the doctor put on gloves and walked towards her...

She Fainted.

{ Hey I am going to fast forward when the delivery is over and she gets to see and name her babies. Would that be ok?}
