~Melino stood in a run down looking home as she stared out the opening of the home humming to her self. Through the red cloak, her husbands, that she wore and the white dress, her rounded belly could be seen. 

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

Melino rubbed her hand on her stomach taking in a low breath. 

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

Melino picked up some blankets and began folding them. When Christine had let her free, She had sent her with some clothes and blankets. From time to time Christine would bring them more things. 

For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Melino stared out at Bakura who was working on something with his blades and some herbs. 

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all

Melino leaned against the wall of the home as she looked up towards the sky

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know? (What do they know?)
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

A tear fell from Melino's eye as she could not help but think about the words that she sung. She looked down at her stomach as though she was talking directly to it. 

When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

Ooh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there), always
Always
I'll be with you
And I'll be there for you always
Always and always

Melino looked out at Bakura and then down at her stomach as her voice softened.  

Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always~

Bella, Harry, Yugi, and Melino were in the room of requirements. All four at what looed like a shooting range. They fired their guns at a target that was quite a bit a ways from them. Yugi, Harry, and Melino were doing great with their target practice. 

Melino changes out the magazine when she suddenly dropped to the floor and gripped her hair with her hands letting out a scream of pain. The gun dropped to the ground. 

"Mel!" Bella exclaimed as she ran over. The boys looked over and put their guns down before taking off their ear muffs. 

Bella knelt down to Melino. "what's wrong?" 

Melino looked as thought pain was coursing through her. As though she was suffering from a panic attack. 

Flashes of the past came flooding to the front of her mind as though it broke through a dam.

~Palace guards breaking into Melino's home~

Melino's screams out in pain as she leaned against Bella. 

"what's wrong with her?" Harry asked. 

"I don't know." Bella says holding Melino tightly so that the other girl could not hurt her self. "help me! She has her claws on!" She says quickly. 

Harry and Yugi rush over and pry Melino's hands from her head. Melino struggled against their hold. 

"Melino! It's alright!" Bella says trying to get through to her. 

Suddenly, Christine takes control. "Mel! They are not there! its alright! Mel this isn't happening! you are at school!" Christine explained calmly. "Calm down Mel, Come back to us!" She spoke softer as she held the young girl to her tightly. 

~Melino was being held down by guards as one plunged a knife into her stomach. 

"STOP NO!" Melino screamed as she tried to fight the guards hold. 

"Shut up!" A guard snapped, 

"its better this way" Isis spoke as she walked into view. it was them She was handed something that looked small and bloody. But Melino could not see what it was. tears burned her eyes and the pain took over. The thing that Isis had was covered up and she walked out. 

They left Melino there bleeding out on the floor. 

"NO!" Melino cried out before loosing consciousness~

Christine flinched a little feeling a kick to her injured leg, however they were more than relieved when Melino began calming down. However, Melino was still in tears and sobbing as though she was in pain. 

"it's alright Mel. I'm here" Christine says reassuringly. "its going to be ok" She looked over at Harry. "go find my brother" she says firmly. 

Harry got up and ran out of the room quickly. 

"what can i do?" Yugi asked. 

"help me get her to the couch" Christine replied as she and Yugi helped Melino off the floor, even though Melino was not being very helpful about it, and they took her over to the couch where they sat down. 

Christine began singing softly to her. 

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
And hold it tight

Mel started to look up as she recognized the song. 

I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

Melino stared up at her with wide eyes. 

For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

"Th-that song" Melino stammered out. 

"don't you remember?" Christine asked. "I used to sing it to you whenever you were having a bad day or you had a bad dream" Christine says softly. 

Melino wiped at her eyes as she took in shaky breaths. 

Yugi and Atem stared at Christine. They did not know if this was illusion Christine...or the real Christine...but they were both thinking the same think. She would have been a great mother. 

They looked over and saw Harry and Bakura run in. 

"what happened?" Bakura demanded. 

Christine looked up at her brother and then over at Yugi before back to Bakura. "we will give you a moment" She stood up and followed Yugi and Harry out of the room. 

Bakura turned and looked at Melino who was sitting on the couch sobbing into her hands. He walked over and sat down next to her. 

"what's wrong?" he asked. 

"I...Memories...of when the palace guards came to the house." Melino replied as Bakura pulled her closer to him. She leaned her head onto his shoulder. 

"they cant hurt you any more" Bakura says calmly as he ran a hand up and down her back soothingly.

"They....i remember..." Melino choked out. "they took the baby" She says as tears streamed down her face. 

Bakura tensed up but forced him self to stay calm. "I know" he whispered. 

Melino sat up. "no...they too him" She says as she looked at him. Bakura didn't under stand...they didn't just take him...they TOOK him. "the baby...he was alive, they cut him out of me" She explained. She could feel the pounding in her head. 

Bakura tensed up more. "what?" he says surprised. 

"She took him" Melino whispered. 

"who?" Bakura asked. "who took him?"

"Isis"
