Mason James was laying on a hospital bed, hooked up to all kinds of machines.

Alexia still hasn't gotten used to it, even though it's been two weeks.

Camille woke up about 12 days ago and she immediately asked for Mason.

Camille slowly opens her eyes but shoots up when she remembers what happened.

Alexia is sitting by her bed when Camille puts everything together.

"Oh my gosh." Camille whispers, feeling the shock, and pain, of everything that happened.

"Mason. Where's Mason." She asks Alexia, knowing her brother would be by her side if he could be.

Alexia closes her eyes for a second. "Mason is in a coma. We're not sure if he's gonna wake up but he might." She explains.

"No." Camille whispers. "No." She says louder this time as she's trying not to cry.

He's still asleep when Camille walks into the room, her hair pulled lazily into a messy low ponytail.

Camille always cared about how she looked but she's been so worried about Mason she's stopped caring.

She sets down a cup of coffee next to Alexia, drinking the last bit of her third coffee today.

She grabs another one and starts drinking it. She hasn't slept in days.

"Cali." Alexia says quietly, still holding Mason's hand.

"I'm fine, okay? I just haven't been able to sleep much so I'm just having a bit of coffee, it's not a big deal." She brushes it off easily.

Athena got discharged last weekend, finally being able to go home.

Her body went through a lot of stress and she lost a lot of blood. It took hours but she's okay.

Camden and Athena are enjoying parenthood, their son being their whole lives.

The nursery has light blue walls and has toys along with a big crib and anything else you'd need for a baby.

Right above his crib is his name written in cursive. "Bentley"

They announced his name the day after the incident happened, when they knew everything was calming down.

Despite finding joy in her son, Athena can't move past what happened after they got to the hospital.

Camden is sitting with Athena while she holds their son when he gets a call.

"One minute, baby." He tells Athena and she smiles back at him as he answers the phone.

"Hello?" He answers and there's a long silence on the other line.

"Sir, I'm afraid we have some bad news." One of his men tells him, sounding anxious.

"What is it?" Athena asks, hearing some of the call.

Camden sits down next to her and puts the phone on speaker so they both can hear.

"It's about Halston."

Athena's blood runs cold.

Athena shivers and shakes her head, trying to block out the memory.

"You okay?" Camden asks, putting a hand on his wife's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just the whole thing with Halston." She answers sadly.

He sighs. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault." She assures him and he nods, not quite believing it.

Athena puts Bentley to bed before going to her room and laying in bed, trying to sleep.

"What about Halston?" Camden asks, squeezing Athena's hand.

"You asked us to find her, but we didn't. Jay did something to her before he died and we don't know what. It's like she's fallen off the face of the earth. She might be dead but we're guessing she's alive, being held captive somewhere."

Athena's eyes shoot open and she sits up, putting her palm over her heart.

Halston, a girl she loves and a girl she sees as a daughter, is gone.

It's very unlikely they'll ever find her and it's very possible she's already dead.

Athena sits on her bed, looking through all the photos she took with Halston, and cries.

Alexia is asleep, holding Mason's right hand, and Camille is asleep, holding Mason's left hand.

Mason slowly opens his eyes and looks around, seeing his wife and sister both asleep and both holding his hands.

"Lex." He whispers, gently shaking his hand a little bit.

She opens her eyes and looks tired before she realizes he's awake and her entire face lights up, a giant smile taking over.

"Mason." She cry's, throwing her arms around him and kissing him over and over.

He chuckles. "I love you too, Lex."

"Don't ever do that to me again, Mase. Never." She begs him in a desperate voice.

"Okay, baby. I won't." He agrees.

"Mase." He looks over at his sister and Alexia lets go of him.

Camille throws her arms around him and starts crying.

"I thought I lost you, Mason. Don't ever do that again, okay? I can't lose you. I need my brother. I can't live without my brother." She cry's into his chest and he hugs her tightly.

"I won't do it again, Cali. I promise. I'm here, okay? I'm here." He tells her comfortingly, stroking her hair.

She nods and pulls away, wiping her eyes.

Camille leaves to go get a doctor and Alexia climbs into Mason's bed, curling up on him.

He wraps an arm around her and she lays there, listening to the sound of his heart.

When the doctor comes in the room with Camille Alexia is asleep, her head on Mason's chest.

"Let her sleep. We can do whatever you want me to do later." He tells the doctor and the man nods before leaving.

"She hasn't slept in days." Camille says quietly, sitting back down next to his bed.

"Neither have you, Cali." He tells her, giving her a look.

"I couldn't sleep knowing you might not wake up. But you're here and you're fine so I can get some rest now." She tells him before leaning back in the chair and closing her eyes.

Once he knows the two people he loves most in this world are asleep he allows himself to feel the pain he was pushing away for their sakes.

He was shot three times and it hurts like a bitch.

He presses a button the doctors gave him, one that injects him with a sleeping drug, and he's asleep within seconds.

Hey!

I got bored and decided to do another chapter!

I know this chapter wasn't great but I wasn't 100% sure on what to do so I have this lol.

Would you guys wanna see a spin-off book of Halston all grown up and working as an assassin, trying to take down the people who stole her away from her family? Or no? Please please let me know!!

If I did one it probably wouldn't all be Halston, she'd be the main character but I'll probably include the other Tames/James characters as well.

Anyway please let me know!! If you don't think you'd want that than I doubt I'll make it but if you would like to see that let me know!

Thank you all so much for reading!! <3
