As Eric and the girls walked into the room, they seen their mom sleeping.
"Daddy, is mommy going to be okay?"
"She'll be fine love, she's just very tired right now."
Walking up to the bed, Eric lifted Sara off his shoulders.
"Sweetheart, Mackenzie, wake up love. Sweetheart."
As she opened her eyes, she seen Eric and the girls with tears in their eyes.
*Whispering* "My babies...hi my babies."
"How you feeling Mac?"
"Sore Eric, really sore, it hurts so bad."
"I know love, try not to move to much,"
"Mama, you know what happened?"
"No, what baby?"
"Daddy killed Frank, he was crazy, he tried to kill Aunt Calleigh."
Mackenzie was confused.
"Eric....what's going on?"
"It seems Frank was the one who shot at everyone. It's a very long story, one for when you have rested a little. But he is dead."
"Oh my God, I can't believe this day. All the horror our babies have seen. They'll have nightmares for weeks."
"No we won't mama. We won't. Daddy will protect us from all the monsters, right daddy?"
"That's right Peanut."
"Excuse me Lt.Delko, but your wife needs rest."
"Okay. Girls give mommy a kiss. Sweetheart, I'll be right back, I'm just going to have Michael take the girls with him to dads."
"We love you mama."
"I love you too my babies."
As Eric left with the girls, he ran into Mac.
"How is she son?"
"She's in alot of pain, and very tired. But alert. I'm just going to see if Michael will take the girls to your place, and I'll pick them up later tonight."
"Sure son, that's fine. Michael is at the front with MJ, who is still Ewwwing over the blood."
"Okay dad, I'll be right back."
When Eric left with his girls, Mac walked in and seen Mackenzie crying.
"Hey, hey sweetheart, what's the matter?"
"Nothing dad, just in alot of pain."
"Now I know my girl. There is something else bothering you."
"It's just such a mess daddy. What kind of wedding day is this to remember. How many other friends can I share stories with, who have had weddings that ended in bloodshed? God dad, I don't even have pictues or nothing."
"I know baby, and I'm really sorry. When you are all better, I promise we will have another wedding, and a huge party, with lots of pictures."
Bending down, he brushed his daughters hair from her face, and that's when he felt the fever.
"Sweetheart, you're burning up."
Pushing the call button for the nurse, Mac became concerned that infection may have set in, or they missed something.
"Hello Mackenzie, what's the problem love?"
"She's burning up with fever."
As the nurse took her temp she found it to be 103.3.
"Okay, I'm going to call the doctor, I'll be right back."
When the nurse returned with the doctor, he had the nurse draw blood.
"Get this to the lab."
"Yes doctor, right away."
"Mackenzie, are you feeling any pain?"
"Yes, alot in my stomach area, especially to the left."
"I think you might have an infection. So I'm going to have the nurse put you on mild antibiotics."
"Mild? Shouldn't they be strong for her infection?"
"They should be. But we have to be careful, as she is pregnant."
Mac was floored, Mackenzie was shocked, and Eric just froze on the spot.
"What did you say?"
Turning towards the door, the doctor seen Eric standing there.
"Ummm...sorry, I thought you all knew by now."
"I'm pregnant?"
"Yes, you are about eight weeks along, maybe nine."
Eric ran over, and placed his hands on his wife's tummy, very gentle like.
"A baby, we have a baby in there?"
Mackenzie was trying not laugh, for it hurt to. But she couldn't help Eric's expression, he looked liked a kid at Christmas.
"Yes you do, smiled the doctor. Now let's get your wife to feeling better, so she can start feeding your child."
"Oh my God, I gotta tell the girls, I gotta tell mom and the team."
"Eric, calm down. You stay with your wife, I'll tell the family." laughed Mac.
Leaving out the door, Mac could still hear eric saying.....
"A baby, we have a baby in there?"
