Lost
AN: This Drabble was written at the time of Marty's breakdown. I do not own any of these characters they are based on the fictional characters that belong to ABC's One Life to Live.
John stared through the hospital window at the woman who had once meant everything to him. He debated about going in to comfort her. He wanted to help her, to save her from the darkness that had swallowed her whole but he couldn't. She was lost to him and he didn't know how to reach her.
He took a deep breath and walked into the room. "Marty, it's me, it's John," he said as he cautiously sat by her side.
"John, where's our baby? I need to hold my baby. Why did you give our child to Natalie?"
Marty asked.
John couldn't lie to Marty, he never could and he prayed that today would be the day that he could reach her. It had been three months since Marty had been institutionalized, but she wasn't getting better. Natalie wanted John to stay away from Marty, but he couldn't. She was hurting and it was his fault. She lost the baby because Eli had wanted to hurt him. "You had a miscarriage Marty. Our child didn't make it, "John told Marty as he stroked her hair.
"You need to go get our child so that Patrick can meet him. I thought that Patrick was dead but he's here now with me and as soon as Cole gets here then we can leave and be a family," Marty rambled, "Patrick, I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce you, this is John. He's been so good to me these last few years. I couldn't ask for a greater friend," Marty said to an empty chair.
John wiped the tears from his eyes. It didn't work, he couldn't reach her. She was still lost to him. "I'm going to get a doctor. I'll be back tomorrow," John said as he walked out. John hated seeing her so broken, but he wouldn't give up on her because she was worth saving.
