Bliss stood in the doorway to Max’s room, one hand protectively moving to the small swell of her pregnant belly and the other reaching for the wall to support herself as she watched Seb dealing with the crushing realization that they’d lost their child before ever knowing him. Max was still sedated, a blessing really but she would eventually have to deal with the pain. Seb was at her side, devastated and lost. And for a few moments it felt like time had paused and she couldn’t move forward or backward, just watch the nightmare unfold. She felt Hunter come up behind her and then she felt his arms surround her. She glanced up at him but couldn’t find her words and for a few moments they watched the scene before them and when it became too much Bliss turned in his arms and held onto him. Her sisters baby was gone and Max was shattered. Her sister in law was fighting for her life down the hall. Zach had died in the line of duty. The rest of them were surely lucky to have made it off the boat with their lives. She wanted so badly to be home with her little boy but she knew Fox was safe. Keke had taken him to Jackson’s house with Dylan and the twins and they were all fast asleep. If she showed up now he’d pick up on the sadness and she had no intention of bringing him here to the hospital. It was best to let him sleep in peace and give her and Hunter time to process things.
She finally pulled back, holding onto Hunter’s hand for a moment before joining Seb in the room. “Seb,” she said quietly, hoping not to startle him as she placed a hand on his shoulder before leaning down to hug him. “I am so sorry,” she managed, fighting back her tears as she looked at his tear soaked face. “Enrique was already so loved by everyone. This is devastating.” She looked over at Max, who was unconscious and eerily still. Her sister only barely seemed to be warming up to the idea of being a mother and now it had been ripped away from her. She feared her sister would be haunted by that. She had never understood Max’s reaction to most of her pregnancy but they all suspected she’d come around. Sebastian though, was a proud papa from the moment the news broke. Whenever he mentioned the baby, his eyes lit up. That baby was his entire world from the moment it was conceived. She placed a hand on her stomach, so grateful that her baby was ok and she felt a little guilty for it. “Please tell me what I can for you. For Max. I don’t know how to help either of you. Is your mother here? Do you need me to find her? Call anyone else? Get you anything while you sit with Max. Please. Anything you need, just tell me.”
Sebastian stared blankly outside of the window sitting next to Max’s bedside. He felt numb in so many ways. This pushed him past his capacity and he wasn’t sure he’d ever get over losing their son. Looking at Bliss who was about to give birth herself made him feel a slight tinge of jealousy. He’d literally changed his life for himself and Max. No more mob activities and being on the straight and narrow. He knew his mother would never give up the illicit lifestyle that she was accustomed to. However he didn’t want that violence to infest his life and all he wanted now was revenge. “Can you bring my son back? Can you explain to me why God has forsaken Max and me? Can you tell me if my son is in heaven? I have a confession, Bliss.” He said, turning around finally looking at her face to face. “My family aren’t good people. In fact today I’m not sure I’m a good person. All I can think about is killing Hector and Ronan. They snatched my son away from me with violence. A bomb on that boat? Who does that? Do they not understand the rules of the game? Maybe someone should teach them.” His eyes grew dark.
“Unfortunately Bliss there is nothing you can do for me. You can’t make this all go away. My son is dead and Max is so hurt. She put on this front as if this baby wasn’t important to her. However I know this will leave her broken. My mother is making arrangements at the moment to get our priest from Spain to come here for our son’s service. So I’m here alone with my fiancé and I thank you for trying but nothing will comfort me. Nothing will fill this hole in my heart and nothing will make this better. No offense, none of your sweet words and epithets will fix this. Bliss, my son is dead. Hunter and you should be thankful you made it out without being injured. Go check on Jackson. I have Max.” Turning around so she couldn’t see him crying or the emotion boiling inside of him. “But I promise all the Devonshire family one thing: revenge and retribution will happen. An eye for an eye. They spilled the first blood but I will be the one who laughs last.” Sebastian was done with being soft and a lover. He wanted blood to fill the streets. “Atlas Falls and those people have no idea whom they’ve awoken.”
