Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Gabriella feels the coldness on her skin, bright light in her eyes with a few faces around her that she cannot see too clearly as her fusion is blurry. The last thing she remembers is pulling the trigger. Gabriella feels something being pushed up her nose and then something squirted into her eyes, making her vision even more blurry.

"Cry for me darling," the doctor says.

Gabriella realizes at that moment that she is a baby, just born, and starts to cry as she remembers all her lifes, including being an angel, 3000 years ago.

'I hope this life will better than the past lives,' she thinks as she gets placed into her new mother's arms, the warmth and hot tears from her mother falling on her face calming her down.

"Hello baby," Gabriella hears Amber's voice.

'Are you kidding me?' Gabriella thinks and starts to cry again.

"She is beautiful," Mrs. Finn says.

"She is," Amber says, trying to calm her down.

"Do you have a name for her?" Mrs. Finn asks.

"Alexandria," Amber says.

Anthon comes walking into the room, kissing Amber on her head, "how is my beautiful wife?"

Gabriella starts to cry again and the sound of Anthon's voice.

"I have made it through labor," Amber says, smiling up at Anthon. 'He is such a great person, standing in to be a father to a child that is not his,' Amber thinks, smiling up at her husband of just a few months, thinking how fast things moved between them once Alex and Gabriella was out of the way.

"I will leave you two, to it," Mrs. Finn says, leaving the room.

Later that evening Zurier knocks at Amber's hospital door, "hi, quick photo for the news site?"

Before Alex died he left everything to Zurier, having no family to leave everything to, not knowing just how soon after he would die. Zurier has taken Alex role over, all this time pretending to have memory loss while he tries to find a way to nail Anthon for what he has done.

"Sure," Amber says, with the baby wrapped up in her arms, screaming away.

Zurier walks over and immediately feels the familiar aura, "Gabriella," he says, taking her little hand.

Gabriella stops crying at his familiar touch.

"Actually Alexandria," Amber corrects him.

"She is beautiful," Zurier thinks, wishing he can save her from Anthon, contemplating kidnapping her and disappearing with her.

"I can't believe she has actually stopped crying," Amber says sighing with relief.

Zurier took his photo and was about to leave when Gabriella starts to cry again.

"I am so tired," Amber says, fed up with the crying baby.

"Let me hold her while you rest," Zurier says, taking Gabriella from her.

Gabriella settles, knowing that Zurier knows who she is. Zurier sat on the chair and made sweet promises to Gabriella when Amber fell asleep.

The next morning a nurse came past and looked at Amber strangely. "She is dead," the nurse says after feeling her pulse.

"What?" Zurier says, tired, Gabriella still in his arms.

"She is dead," the nurse says again.

"I have nothing to do with her death, I did not notice," Zurier defends himself. It is at that moment that Mrs. Finn and Anthon walk into the room.

"What is going on?" Anthon asks, looking at Zurier, holding the baby.

"Sir, Amber is dead," the nurse says.

"What?" Anthon and Mrs. Finn say at the same time, both reaching out to feel for a pulse.

Anthon looks at Zurier.

"Dont look at me, I had nothing to do with it," Zurier defends himself.

"Arrange for an autopsy," Mrs. Finn instructs the nurse.

Gabriella was in the baby nursery, Zurier looking at her through the glass when Anthon stood next to him, "Amber had a heart attack, so you are in the clear."

"What's gonna happen to her baby? Are you going to be her father," Zurier asks, hoping not.

"What choice do I have?" Anthon asks.

"Put me up as her biological father," Zurier says.

Anthon laughs, "why would I do that?"

"If you don't then I will let the world know who you are," Zurier says, looking him dead in the face.

Anthon is not sure how to respond and reach for his pocket, knowing he always has a syringe ready to attack.

"Don't even think about it. I have an article ready to go live about you and every twenty-four hours a reminder goes of to delay or post. So let me adopt the baby and I will hand over Alex's news site to you," Zurier says, ready to physically counterattack Anthon in case he tries something.

"Fine," Anthon says.

"I will wait right here for the papers," Zurier says.

A few hours later Anthon returned with the paperwork and after signing it he asks for the handover of the News site.

"Only when I have her birth certificate in my hands," Zurier says, knowing the hospital has the service.

"Fine, but if you try to b*llSh*t me I will end you," Anthon threatens.

"Just get the legal birth certificate," Zurier says with a firm tone.

An hour later Anthon hands Zurier the birth certificate. Zurier gives him a flash drive before entering the nursery and picking Gabriella up, "everything will be ok, I am your father now." Zurier wonders if she understands.

The moment Anthon plugged the USB into his computer it triggered the article to be published without him realizing it. It didn't take long for the police to arrive and to put him under arrest to be trialed. After Anthon's DNA got matched he got sentenced for rape alongside his friends. While Anthon was serving his time for rape he also got sentenced for murder and is now on death row.

As Gabriella grew to toddler stage she started to lose her memory of her previous lives, but it didn't matter as she had a beautiful life in store for her with her Guardian Angel as a father.
