My phone pinged, telling me Taylor had received a message.

Kell: Lyric is in labor.

I took a deep breath. This was it. The start of my real relationship with Taylor.

I rang the nurse. "She's on her way in."

"Okay," she answered, and hung up.

I called Kate. "She's in labor."

"I'm ready," Kate answered.

I opened the apps on my phone that were hooked into the closed security system of the hospital. I started the loop that would run, over and over. When these tapes were reviewed, none of the key players would be seen. They would never ever know what I'd done, and they would never ever find this baby after I took her.
