Illicit Few

Andrew

I smile and laugh a little, "yeah, I guess." I say and kiss her on the cheek.

Collin

"What about the Runners?" I ask, "I just can't leave my whole life." I tell her

Dane

"Well your not fat, your pregnant." I say and laugh a little.

Mackenzi

"I gained four pounds!" I say and frown.

Maci

"I know. I guess we'll stay here," I say and sigh.

Makenna

"Well when you've swam in water below negative twenty degrees, everything's pretty warm," I say and repin my bangs.

Dane

"That's what happens when your pregnant." I say and watch TV.

Collin

"Don't do that to me, don't sigh and 'oh I guess we'll stay here.'" I say and get up, I get my jacket and go out for a run.

Andrew

I nod my head and get up, I set her in my seat and go to my safe.

Maci

I rocked Bailey to sleep, put her in her crib, then went to out room. I changed into some dark skinny jeans, a white tank top, my leather jacket, and boots. I told a girl Runner to keep an eye on Bailey, and I walked out of the house. I climbed to the top of the high construction beam, and crouched as I looked down. I sat down, cursed under my breath, and lit a cigarette.

Mackenzi

I held my stomach as I felt a harsh kick come to my stomach, and I moaned.

Collin

I jump a gap and continue to run across the roofs.

Dane

"You okay?" I ask

Mackenzi

"Yeah," I say and shift around.

Maci

I flick the old cigarette off and light another one. I blew the light grey smoke into the air, and the light from the end illuminated a pinpoint in the sky.

Dane

I look at her for a quick second then go back to watching TV.

Collin

I see some Blues and they start shooting at me, I run away from them.

Maci

I heard shooting, but didn't think anything of it. I sighed, and blew out more smoke.

Mackenzi

I finally got comfortable, but scooted farther away from Dane as my water broke. I pretended to shiver, and threw the blanket over my body.

Dane

I see water leaking from under the blanket and move the blanket away from her, I see that her water broke and get up. "Come on, let's go to the hospital." I say and get my keys.

Collin

I finally get away but have a hole in my leg from where on the Blues shot me, I limp back to the warehouse and try to ignore the pain.

Mackenzi

"I refuse," I say and cross my arms.

Maci

I put out the cigarette, and decided to go to a bar.

Dane

"Alright then you can just give birth right there on the couch, sweetheart." I say and kneel down, "spread 'em or I can take you to the hospital where you'll have a more comfortable birth." I say and look her in the eyes.

Collin

I get to the warehouse and pull out the bullet with my bare hands, I wrap up my leg and take Advil for the pain.

Mackenzi

"I hate hospitals and what an odd way to say push," I say, and give a solid push without showing much pain.

Maci

I set down the third beer bottle, and I walked out after being hit on by a drunk guy. I went back to the warehouse, my forehead a little sweaty. I glanced at Collin, went to our bedroom, and fell asleep quickly from being just a tad bit drunk.

Dane

I grab some towels and a blanket, "push one more time." I tell her

Collin

I hold back a scream when I walk to the kitchen, I get something to eat and continue to try to ignore the pain in my leg.

Mackenzi

This time I screamed, and pushed hard. I heard a small cry, and I looked down at the small boy in the towel. I grabbed my phone, and quickly called for an ambulance. We didn't have a midwife, so we needed one fast. I started to cry as I hung up.

Maci

I walked out, and looked at Collin's leg wound. I sighed, "You should have let me take it out." I grabbed an ice pack, and held it to my pounding head. It felt like i already had a hangover, but I wasn't even home for an hour yet.

Dane

I quickly clean off the baby boy with a towel and wrap him up in a blanket, the paramedics come and take both the baby and Mackenzi to the hospital.

Collin

"You went out drinking." I say and go get the crying Bailey, I play with her and feed her a bottle.

Maci

I walked out of the warehouse, and slammed the door shut. I climbed back to the top of the construction building, and stared down at the dirt below. Should I?

Mackenzi

I opened my eyes to be in a hospital room, and I smiled at the baby boy next to me. "Hey, little one," I said and rubbed his soft hand with my index finger.

Collin

I peek my head out the window to see Maci standing on the construction building, "go ahead, Maci, leave Bailey and I just because I said something!" I yell and close the window. I pick up Bailey and hold her in my arms, I leave out the warehouse and go to my old house.

Dane

I walk into the room Mackenzi is in and smile, "what should we name him?" I ask

Maci

I jumped, and the last thing I heard was the sirens of an ambulance, and the screaming of a familiar voice.

Mackenzi

I smiled at Dane, "You pick. I'm not too sure myself."

Collin

I get to my house and set Bailey in Manny's old crib, I watch TV until I get a call from the hospital telling me Maci jumped off the building and I leave to the hospital.

Dane

I pick him up and hold him in my arms, I look at him and he smiles at me. "You do look like a Andy or Thomas." I say to him and he laughs a little baby laugh, I smile at him.

Mackenzi

"Andy. I like that name," I say.

Maci

The doctor walks in with Collin, but I'm in a coma from the fall. "She actually suffered from severe depression, which could have led to her attempted suicide. If she drank alcohol, that would have increased it. She's in a coma right now," he says and leave.

Dane

"Andy it is." I say and smile, I tickle his tummy and he laughs.

Collin

I sit by her and hold her hand, I start to cry. "I am so sorry Maci, I shouldn't have said anything like that and I take it all back, I am sorry just wake up." I say and cry more as I hold her hand.

Maci

The heart machine beeped steadily, and I breathed slowly.

Collin

"Wake up for Bailey if you won't wake up for me, she needs a mom." I say and try to stop crying.

Maci

"Don't...cry," I say in a whispery voice. I didn't open my eyes, and I was still in a coma. I could feel a tear hit my hand, and I couldn't talk anymore.

Mackenzi

I smiled at Dane and Andy, "He's going to have your hair, and probably my eyes."

Collin

I try to stop crying and keep Maci's hand in mine as I gently touch her cheek.

Dane

"Then he is going to be a handsome man." I say and smile more.
