"Where's Belle?" Joshua quickly asked Skylar as he and Holden rushed in the car Skylar had picked the boys up from the airport later that day. "She's back at Elena's place. I finally got her to leave the hospital after a couple hours but she was determined to go speak to her father. She legit told me to just drop her off and come pick you guys up." Skylar explained to them as she drove out of the airport.

"What exactly happened after you guys. . . heard the news?" Holden asked his girlfriend as his voice lowered on the very sensitive topic. "Isabella didn't speak for two hours straight. She couldn't stop crying and it got worse after hearing everything that was happening with the baby." Skylar sighed softly as she stopped at the red light.

"What happened exactly?" Joshua furrowed his eyebrows but he knew Isabella was going through something tough. "From what I gathered Elena was having difficulties delivering the baby but just seconds after the baby was delivered Elena closed her eyes. The baby is having trouble breathing and that got Bells to freak out even more. It got her so panic some doctors and nurses had to help me calm her down." Skylar explained to the two as she stopped at the red light.

"I feel so bad for Bells." Holden shook his head, not being able to imagine what Isabella is going through. "Ever since Elena got in her life she has become like one of Belle's best friends. They were pretty close." Joshua closed his eyes before looking out the window knowing how close they were.

"There's something else." Skylar fiddled with her fingers before looking over to Holden and back at Joshua. "What is it?" The duo asked as they wondered what else could happen. "It seems like Elena had a feeling of what would happen because before Bells and I could leave one of the doctors came and told us. . ." Skylar took a deep breath in as she didn't know how to announce it.

"What did they tell you?" Joshua raised an eyebrow as he moved to sit in the middle seat. "If anything happened to Elena, Elena herself legally made it so Bells is the baby's guardian." Skylar responded before she started to drive again as Holden and Joshua turned to her in shock. "So you're saying Belle is technically by law the baby's mother?" Joshua slowly questioned as he was processing the information.

"Yes." Skylar nodded as she knew exactly what was going through his mind because it went through her mind as well. "How's that possible? Bells has barely been an eighteen year old for a couple hours." Holden furrowed his eyebrows as he didn't really understand how it could happen.

"I don't know. I guess Elena had already thought about this when she found out she was pregnant." Skylar sent her boyfriend a confused expression before paying her attention back on the road. "She isn't answering her phone and her mom is worried too." Joshua huffed as he tried to call Isabella but he got no response other than a text from Katy.

"Well maybe her father and her are in a heated argument and that's why she's not answering." Holden suggested as he didn't want to picture anything worse than it already is. "I don't know. None of this has a good feeling. Skylar can't you drive any faster?" Joshua shook his head as he was filled with worry and fear even when speaking to the blonde.

"I'm trying to but you have to remember I have to watch out for people." Skylar responded before she nodded over to the people crossing the streets. "Don't worry Josh we'll be there soon enough." Holden tried to assure his best friend seeing how he was reacting.

Joshua shook his head not being able to shake the feeling of stress wishing he was with Isabella right that moment. All he could think of is how hard this was all for Isabella having this happen just the day after her birthday.

ღღღ

As soon as they got to the house the three rushed out of the car before going to the house and luckily for them the door was unlocked.

"Belle?" Joshua turned to her seeing her on the couch looking down so neither of them could see her face. "He left." Isabella whispered but they were able to hear her though they can tell she's holding something in. "He left after you guys fought?" Skylar asked her as she and the boys shared a look with each other.

"No. He left days ago." Isabella shook her head as she stood up revealing a letter but as she stood up the three could see her bloodshot eyes. "Belle. . ." Joshua started as not only him but the couple could see her pain.

"You know what I should have expected this. He's been a worthless excuse of a father so what's the point of having him in my life?" Isabella scoffed as she chuckled trying to stop herself from letting anymore tears slip. "I mean he was barely even in my life and this may be the best birthday gift he could give me."

"What does the paper say?" Holden asked quietly as he, Joshua, and Skylar could tell she's about to break but she's not letting herself to let her feelings out. "Oh that's my favorite part." Isabella grinned sarcastically before she held the note in front of her.

"I wasn't ready to be a father and as the years went you can clearly see that. I made the decision to finally leave for good to leave us a piece of mind. I still had Joshua's present he wanted to give you so I left that for you but I have taken something that no longer belongs to you."

"Not even a formal goodbye." Isabella rolled her eyes as she set the paper on the counter which she leaned on. "What did he take?" Skylar asked her as they looked at her in concern seeing that she was holding on the counter tightly.

"I asked that to myself too but then I was thinking about it and it hit me. I started this bank account that he had access to. I had money in that account from people who paid me for their clothes or babysitting." Isabella responded as she looked over to them knowing her face was red and puffy. "How much?" Joshua walked up to her slowly but she really couldn't react.

"Over thousands of dollars." Isabella answered, causing the three to look at each other in shock not realizing the amount. "Yeah, that money I left aside for an emergency and now I don't have a single cent of that money, it was wiped clean from my account. Well at least he wasn't as cruel to actually take your present. Thank you Josh." She thanked him as she revealed the present box Samuel left her.

"I'm sure he was thinking about how this would affect you." Holden tried to assure her but he really couldn't be sure. "Doubtful he hasn't cared about me since I was eight." Isabella scoffed as she grabbed a cup of water. "He must care a bit. I mean it was hard for him to see you go to New York he even got you a place." Joshua moved beside her as he set the cup down seeing her holding tight on it.

"I lied." Isabella shook her head with a small chuckle as she admitted to Joshua. "What?" They all questioned in confusion as they gathered to her.

"When I told him about me wanting to move to New York he immediately agreed. That apartment wasn't even his. I called up his friend asking if there were any places available there and there was. That place was all paid from my own money. The reason I was able to get it was because Carlos signed the lease for me but I paid it all."

Isabella sighed as she explained to them the truth which led the three to share a shocked expression before looking back to Isabella who was just thinking about everything that has happened. Her life seemed so perfect but then one thing broke that for her.

"What about that call? Him wanting you to move with him and Elena?" Joshua questioned as he remembered when Isabella got the call. "Why do you think? He knew I was earning more money. All he cared about was him having money." Isabella responded as she too remembered the phone call almost two years ago.

"Are you okay?" Skylar asked her best friend knowing she's not but what more could she say in this situation. "Why wouldn't I be? My so called father left not only me but a pregnant woman he claimed to love. Elena passed not even a moment after her own son was born and that son is in the hospital. . .fighting to live." Isabella furrowed her eyebrows as she tried not to let any tears slip but they can tell how much she was struggling to not cry.

Isabella moved past them going over to the couch trying her hardest to keep it together but she just couldn't one moment she had true happiness and then it was all turned upside down. Joshua turned to the couple before moving over to Isabella who was sitting on the couch covering her face.

"Belle. . . it's okay to cry." Joshua assured her as he sat on the coffee table in front of Isabella. "You don't get it Josh. I don't want to waste another single tear for that man who I unfortunately have to be related to. For years I felt pain and he was a huge part of that and that's not what a father should do but what should I have expected from him." Isabella bit her lips trying to keep herself from falling apart.

"You don't have to cry for him." Joshua held her hands seeing her lips tremble as Holden and Skylar stood aside with sorrow expressions seeing the girl's pain. "I thought that Darren making my life miserable was what broke me but it wasn't him that broke me. . .it was Samuel." Isabella stood up as a tear streamed down her face.

"For ten years I hoped for something better with him but I've only disappointed myself more each day. . . Am I that horrible to be around that he couldn't love me just a little?" Isabella grabbed the picture of Samuel and her when she was five that was by the fireplace. "Absolutely not." Joshua immediately answered as he stood up seeing tears just streamed down her eyes looking down the picture.

"Bells him not wanting to be in your life is completely all his fault." Holden assured her as he and Skylar moved beside Joshua. "He's right and he should feel so horrible because you are one of the best people." Skylar nodded over to her best friend seeing her pain but she knew she really couldn't understand what she was going through.

"Samuel will one day regret leaving you because not having you in anyone's life is honestly the worst thing I could think of." Joshua truthfully spoke to Isabella as he knew it was well for them at least. "One thing I'm thankful he showed me." Isabella took a deep breath as she looked over to the three.

"What is it?" Joshua asked her as the three wondered what she would say. "He showed me everything a horrible parent does and I'll make sure to never repeat those mistakes. When that baby is out of the hospital because he will, I'll make sure to show him a happy childhood." Isabella answered as she promised herself and the baby.

Isabella with no second thought ripped the picture of her and Samuel in half before tossing the side that had Samuel in the fire. Placing the other half on the mantle and with tears she went over to the hallway disappearing from the others eyesight.

"You think she'll be okay?" Skylar asked Joshua who went over to the mantle grabbing the half of the picture Isabella didn't burn. "She will be. . . but not right now." Joshua sighed as he looked down at the happy expression five year old Isabella had before looking over to the room Isabella entered.

"Don't think about it Josh." Skylar stopped him as he was beginning to walk to the room. "Let's just give her a little bit of time." Holden agreed seeing what Skylar meant so with a sigh Joshua nodded and as much as he wanted to be by her side he knew they were right Isabella would want a second to herself.

ღღღ

Five minutes passed and Joshua couldn't handle it any longer and Skylar saw but before either her or Holden could stop him from moving they heard cries and screams coming from the room. The three rushed to the room as soon as they heard screams and cries coming from the room.

"Belle? Belle open the door! Please!" Joshua tried to open the door but it was locked but in response all they heard were cries. "I'll go look for a key." Holden told Joshua before he rushed out to the living room looking for a key as Skylar's phone rang.

"It's Katy." Skylar informed Joshua who was still trying to open the door. "Go answer it then." Joshua glanced at her before getting back to the door so Skylar went out to the living room.

Joshua grew tired of waiting for Holden to find the key as he continued to hear Isabella cry so with no second thought he stepped back before ramming the door. After a couple of tries he was finally successful and when the door was finally opened Joshua saw Isabella sitting in the middle of the room hugging herself.

"Belle. . ." Joshua rushed to her instantly, bringing her into his arms as she clung on him. "I tried so hard to be a good daughter. Elena's gone now and I have no idea what will happen with her baby." Isabella shook her head as she tried to calm down but she was so tired of being strong she felt like breaking down.

"It's not your fault none of it is." Joshua hugged her close as Holden and Skylar rushed to the door seeing what was happening. "I wish I could do more. I wish I could have kept them safe." Isabella confessed as her lips trembled letting her tears fall.

Skylar forgot to end the call with Katy who heard everything leading her to be overcome with sadness hearing her daughter in pain.

"Mom is everything okay?" Maya asked Katy as she walked out of her room seeing Katy's expression. "Um. . . yeah sweetie I'm fine but pack up for a sleepover I'm going somewhere while you stay with Riley." Katy nodded with a small smile as she wiped away the tears quickly.

Maya looked at her mother in confusion but didn't have enough time to ask as Katy gestured them to their rooms so they could pack.

"Everything will get better." Joshua promised her as he kissed Isabella's head as she cried on his chest. "I hope so because that's what I'm holding onto." Isabella admitted as she shut her eyes trying to wash away the pain.

Skylar and Holden turned to one another with sorrow expression before closing the door letting the two have a moment.

ღღღ

Soon it was dark outside as the night began and Joshua left the room as Isabella had gone to sleep and he was with the couple out in the living room just talking.

"How could all of this just happen?" Skylar questioned with a sigh as she leaned back into Holden's arms thinking back to the events. "Sometimes life takes a turn for the worst." Holden shook his head not knowing what to say as this has never happened to him or anyone he knew. "I swear if I ever see Samuel again I'll. . ." Joshua uncovered his face as he glared to the ground in anger at the grown man.

"You'll do nothing Josh." Holden looked over to his best friend knowing what he would do to anyone that hurt Isabella. "Why shouldn't I? I've already broken a promise to Bella when we were younger, I'm not going to break it again." Joshua questioned as he clasped his hands together with a furious expression.

"You're not going to do anything because you know Bells wouldn't want you to end up hurting him. All she needs is all of us." Skylar answered knowing Isabella well enough though she could understand Joshua's anger. "Fine. . ." Joshua huffed as he knew they were right and he knew his own strength and when it came to the people he loves he'd do anything.

". . . what are they going to do with the house?" Holden asked as he gestured the house considering it's obvious no one would actually live in it. "I honestly don't know." Joshua sighed as he looked around knowing what he meant.

"I'll call my dad or my uncle, they'd probably know what to do with the house." Skylar suggested looking over to the fireplace as the fire was lit. ". . .do you remember when we met you guys?" She looked over to Joshua as she gestured Holden and herself.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded as he looked back up over to the blonde haired girl. "Holden and I have actually been in the city a month before the college tour." Skylar continued as she thought back to the day they moved to New York. "We've been to places around here seeing if we could make friends but we never really had any luck." Holden spoke as he shared a look with Skylar remembering their first time in a new state.

"I thought you two only moved to New York a week before the tour?" Joshua furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at them in confusion. "Well surprise we didn't." Skylar responded as she and Holden did some jazz hands before getting back to the topic.

"It turns out not a lot of people were so up to being friends with each other. Though we are lucky to make friends with the boys and the girls." Skylar chuckled with a head shake remembering her and Holden's attempts of making friends. "You and Bells were the first friends we made ever since we got to the city."

"And we can't be more thankful that you guys cause if it weren't for either of you I don't think either of us would have this friend group we have now." Holden nodded as he continued on after sharing a smile with Skylar. "Wow I never really knew that." Joshua had a shocked expression but he couldn't help but be happy either.

"But I'm pretty sure you both changed our lives for the better too. When I was younger I didn't make the best decision on choosing my friends and the dick Darren, no offense Skylar, -none taken he's an ass- was proof of that." Joshua explained and made sure to apologize to Skylar but she had to agree with Joshua that her cousin wasn't a great person. "But when you guys got into Belle and my life it definitely got better. And I can guarantee you two that she's as grateful as I am. So I should say thank you to you guys as well."

The three smiled in silence at the sweet moment that took over while unknown to the others Isabella leaned her head on the door hearing everything and she couldn't help but let a smile grow on her lips as well making her forget just for a second everything that happened.

With a small sigh Isabella walked around the room trying to figure out what she would do about everything. When the baby is able to come home, and she is so hopeful on that when she doesn't want to even think about the horrible thoughts, how would she even be able to take care of him? Isabella has taken care of babies and children but never one that would be with her.

Before she could continue to pace she held herself on the bed as almost tripped on a wooden box. Looking down at confusion Isabella sat down on the ground taking the box out of the bottom of the bed and opened it. As she opened it she instantly knew it was one that Elena had kept because all that was inside was baby clothes some were bought and some were handmade.

Looking through the box brought happiness and sadness to Isabella knowing how excited Elena was to meet her son but now she wouldn't really. As she almost reached the bottom Isabella noticed a note was placed there and that just confused her but she had picked it up to read it.

"Dear Isabella,

I have to admit I never really thought I'd have to write this letter at least not this earlier but in reality who's to know what will happen. I've had a feeling something could possibly happen if I went through with this but I have to admit if the worse shows to come I am glad I didn't give up so easily. You knew who my mother was and how a wonderful person and mother overall she was. All I ever wished is to become like her, maybe fighting to survive for someone important to me is the way to be like her. I wished I could have more time with him but I'm glad I was able to bring him into this world and into your arms. 

I know it may shock you but from everyone I know you are the most responsible and loving person to take care of him and I know you will love him as your own. You are so amazing Isabella and I am so grateful to have the opportunity of being in your life this long and just know I love you. Your mother did an amazing job on you and Maya. I only ask for two things that you take care of you and the baby, and I know you can do it because you have so many people there for you, and the second thing is make sure to give him a great name, I know you have a list of name but don't worry I won't tell Josh.

From all love, Elena"

With tears covering her face Isabella softly chuckled wiping the tears away after reading the note. She couldn't believe that Elena had that much faith in her to take care of her child but she made sure to keep her promise and do the best she could.

"I will make sure to Elena don't worry."

ღღღ

The next day the house was nothing much different, everyone wasn't much in any better mood but all they could do is make better of everything. Joshua, Holden and Skylar were up in the kitchen ready for the morning cooking up breakfast for all of them, well more like Joshua was.

Holden was calling all their friends assuring everyone since after hearing what happened they were pretty worried. Skylar was on the phone with her father and uncle discussing what the house situation was and how they could handle it.

"What did they say?" Joshua asked Holden about their friends as Skylar was still speaking with her father and uncle. "Not sure they froze mid sentence but they are just glad to know what's happening and they send their regards." Holden sighed as he set his phone down after speaking to everyone.

"That's good and they probably didn't freeze. They probably cut it because they broke something." Joshua nodded as he turned off the stove and started to take out the plates. "Probably." Holden agreed before they shared a small chuckle as they started to set everything out.

"As long as it's not the flat screen cause that's a really good one." Skylar whispered over to the two before getting back to the conversation with her father and uncle. "Hey, can you go wake up Belle?" Joshua asked Holden as he set everything while Holden agreed to do so before going to the room Isabella was sleeping in.

"Alright thanks dad I'll talk to you guys later. Bye love you." Skylar sent her father a kiss before hanging up the phone sighing. "Went well?" Joshua questioned Skylar as he looked over to the blonde seeing her done with the conversation.

"Luckily yes. The house is in good condition so my dad and my uncle think it'll be easy to sell it and they'll take care of the paperwork." Skylar folded her arms as she explained to Joshua what they spoke of. "Well, that's good at least that's something off all our shoulders." Joshua nodded as he saw the positive which Skylar agreed with.

"What's taking Holden so long? Dude where are you guys?" Joshua furrowed his eyebrows before he called out for Holden and Isabella. "She's not here." Holden rushed into the kitchen in confusion catching both Joshua and Skylar's attention. "What?" The two questioned in confusion hoping they heard him wrong.

"She's not there. The door was unlocked and no one was in there, the bed was made and all that was there is this." Holden shrugged just as confused as them before handing Joshua the post-it note he found. "Be back. Eat without me." Joshua read the very vague note before sharing a look with the couple.

"Where could she have gone, she barely knows the area?" Skylar questioned as she looked over to her boyfriend while Joshua was lost in thought. "I don't know where she could have gone but the good thing is she may have her phone because it's not in the room." Holden shook his head as he nodded over to the room.

"I'm going to call her." Joshua informed the two before quickly getting his phone out and calling Isabella. "How couldn't we see her leave? The three of us have been up for hours now." Skylar asked Holden as Joshua tried to call Isabella. "We were all probably in here when she did." Holden suggested but he knew all of them were still confused and that confusion only grew when the doorbell rang.

After sharing a look with each other the three rushed to the front door with Joshua still trying to get a hold of Isabella. Once they opened the door they were shocked to see a familiar blonde in front of them.

"Where's my daughter?" Katy asked immediately as they opened the door to reveal her. "Uh. . ." The three trailed off not knowing what to tell the mother as Joshua's phone rang with the voicemail.

ღღღ

"Has she responded to anyone?" Katy questioned the teenagers after lowering her phone. "No." Joshua huffed shaking his head as Skylar and Holden agreed with Joshua since they didn't hear anything about Isabella. "Where could she be?" Katy sighed wondering where her oldest is at the moment but just then the door opened and in came Isabella.

"Mama?" Isabella looked over to her mother in confusion before she dropped her things going over to Katy and hugged her. "It's going to be okay don't worry." Katy forgot all her worries and just hugged her daughter knowing she just needed her while the others stayed back letting the two have their moment.

"What are you doing here?" Isabella wiped her tears trying to be strong as her and Katy detached from each other. "Thought you needed me." Katy smiled softly wiping her daughter's tears. "Mothers definitely know everything." Isabella chuckled as Katy joined her before giving her a side hug.

"Bells, where were you? We've been looking for you for hours." Skylar asked her best friend after a moment knowing she was calmed down a bit. "Really?" Isabella questioned her as she raised an eyebrow feeling better. "Okay maybe it was thirty minutes but it felt like an hour." Skylar admitted with a shrug knowing she exaggerated a bit.

"But where were you? We were worried." Joshua looked over to his girlfriend as the couple nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry I worried you guys but I went to the hospital earlier in the morning oh and I brought some donuts they're in my bag." Isabella explained before she pointed over to her bag which Holden and Skylar rushed to for the donuts.

"Wait why were you in the hospital?" Joshua furrowed his eyebrows as he and Katy looked at Isabella in confusion. "Well delivering a baby cost money so I went to pay the bill and I, um, well went to see how the baby situation was going. . . which care also cost money." Isabella answered as she smiled softly trying to keep her composure.

"Wait where did you get the money? Delivery isn't cheap. . . I should know I had two." Katy questioned Isabella before looking off to the side rubbing her stomach. "Well it's a good thing I have a bank account with money." Isabella nodded as she remembered back to the bill she got at the hospital.

"How much?" Holden asked her as he and Skylar walked over to them with the donuts. "For the delivery it's ten thousand dollars- What!- and for the baby in the NICU it's three thousand dollars. . . a day." Isabella explained to all of them as they stared at the girl in shock.

"How- what- why is it that much?" Skylar questioned as the price of everything was very expensive. "I wish I knew why." Isabella sighed as she sat down on the couch not knowing how she'd have enough to pay for the hospital bills and her tuition when she gets in college in a couple months.

"We'll find a way to pay for everything, don't worry." Katy sat down beside her daughter seeing the distress it was for her. "No it's fine I'll just. . .- it's fine." Isabella shook her head, not wanting her mother to have to worry about paying for anything but it seemed that Katy was disagreeing with her daughter as was the other three.

"Belle, we really don't have that much money and we don't even know how long he'll be in there." Joshua crouched down in front of her as he held her hands knowing this will cost so much money heck his parents had to pay much money when he was in the NICU. "I know we don't but good thing you don't have to pay so you're not losing any money." Isabella nodded looking over to him while he stared at her in confusion.

"Bells you're not thinking of paying for everything out of just your money are you?" Skylar questioned her best friend as they all looked over to the girl who just nodded not knowing what else to say. "Do you realize how much that is? You still have to buy more baby items if- I mean when the baby gets out of the hospital." Katy turned to her daughter as she knew how much babies needed clothes and other essentials.

"And I'm sorry if this is too early to talk about but don't we still have Elena's funeral to take care of?" Holden asked Isabella who's eyes widened, remembering she had to take charge of the funeral. "Well, maybe we call her parents since they don't know about any of this." Skylar suggested with Holden agreeing with her but the others knew that was impossible.

"That can't happen." Isabella shook her head as she wiped a tear that slipped her eyes. "Why?" The couple questioned not understanding why they couldn't inform the parents. "Elena never knew who her father was and her mother passed when she was younger." Katy explained to the teenagers as one day Elena and her spoke about this sometime ago.

"I don't know how to do one of these and I still have to talk to Elena's lawyer and-" Isabella began to worry about the situation more than she already was. "And you're going to let us help with this." Skylar stopped her knowing Isabella needed to let them help otherwise she wouldn't ask herself. "But-" Isabella tried to deny the offer but neither of them were going to let her.

"No buts." They all shook their heads which did freak her out a bit considering they all did it at the same time. "At least just this okay?" Joshua raised an eyebrow to Isabella causing her to smile a bit after seeing all their expressions.

"Okay. Thank you." Isabella sighed with a nod as she sent them all a smile thankful for them being there. "Good. Now let's go have some breakfast." Katy kissed her head before getting up with Isabella and Joshua. "Great I really want to try those donuts." Isabella grinned as Skylar and Holden shared a nervous glance with each other.

"One day you will." Holden smiled sheepishly as Isabella furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Let's go eat!" Skylar chuckled nervously as she pulled Isabella in the kitchen while Joshua and Katy chuckled at the actions taken place.

ღღღ

It's been two weeks since the baby was born and it's been a week since Elena's funeral. After speaking with Skylar's father and uncle they were able to sell the house just doing a bit of repairs so they four of them backed whatever was left in the house and went to Aspen where Skylar's house was at.

Everyday those past week Isabella has gone to check on the baby still trying to come up with a name for the baby. What made it easy for her to be able to go to the hospital is that she was never alone either her mother, Joshua, Skylar, or Holden went with her for support though she did make sure to pay the bills on her own considering she knew the others would try to pay for the bills.

A couple days after the funeral Elena's lawyer came to speak with Isabella and Isabella was shocked to find out that Elena wanted her to keep anything and everything that she had left.

Everyday it was nerve wrecking to learn about what was happening with the baby's health but Isabella made sure to listen to everyone of the nurses that explained to her everything that was happening with the health status.

After some long time today they were finding out if they were able to take the baby home and to say Isabella was worried would be an understatement.

"So how are things going doctor?" Isabella asked the doctor as soon as they sat down in the office chairs. "Well the good thing is the baby's breathing seems to have become better and very stable. There may be a chance further on in the future the baby may have asthma but it wouldn't be anything dangerous." Doctor Beverly explained to Isabella as she went through the charts.

"So does that mean we can go home?" Joshua asked the doctor seeing how excited yet nervous Isabella was. "Well yes but there are just a couple things to settle with beginning with. . ." Doctor Beverly nodded before taking out a piece of paper placing it in front of Isabella.

Looking down at the paper Isabella couldn't help but grow nervous as she shared a look with Joshua before Beverly handed the pen to Isabella who sighed before getting it done.

"All done."
