Chapter 1
History Repeating Itself?
"Nurse Webber, are you even listening to me?" Elizabeth startles as she looks up to see Epiphany Johnson with her hands on her hips directly in front of her.
"I'm sorry Epiphany, what was it that you asked?" Elizabeth grimaces as she holds her stomach when it tightens as she stands from her hunched over position at the nurses station. I knew I shouldn't have eaten those waffles this morning she thinks.
"I asked if you were okay, you're as white as a sheet."
Elizabeth brushes her concerns aside as she picks up the chart in front of her "Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry," she moves to walk out from the desk but starts to sway as her vision gets blurry and a shooting pain runs across her stomach. Oh crap is her last thought before everything goes dark.
Epiphany rushes over to the young mother sprawled out on the floor and grabs her wrist to feel for a pulse. Breathing a sigh of relief when she finds one; "We need some help in here!" She yells out. "Elizabeth, honey can you hear me? but she doesn't get a response as Elizabeth is unconscious.
"Epiphany what happened? Felix Dubois comes barreling around the corner, with Patrick Drake and Sabrina Santiago in tow.
"I don't know, she was looking pale so I asked her what was wrong but she clutched her stomach in pain and fainted."
"Felix, Sabrina, get a stretcher in here. I want her hooked up to monitors ASAP" Patrick ordered as he looked down on his friend. Taking in her ghostly complexion and very thin pallor, Patrick grimaced. She looked ill, and he hadn't even noticed. He was angry with her, and he hadn't talked to her but he still cared.
Sabrina and Felix were at his side next, and together they lifted her onto the stretcher and started moving her to a room. Hooking her up to the monitors Patrick swore when she saw how low her blood pressure was. "Get me an IV and a CBC as soon as you can and put a rush on those results."
"Yes Doctor" They said in usison as they started administering the tests. Patrick closed the door behind them to give her some privacy.
"Was that Elizabeth I just saw you wheel in?" A shrill voice asked from behind him. Patrick groaned as he turned. "Yes Carly, not that it's any of your business but Elizabeth passed out."
"What's wrong with Muffin-Face now?" She asked sarcastically as she tried to peer around him.
"We'll know more when the tests come back, in the meantime stay out of it." Patrick gave her a sharp glare as he walked back down the hallway towards the lab.
Carly grinned as she pulled out her phone and begin sending out short messages with a click and a clack of her polished bright ruby fingernails.
Hey, guess who passed out at GH? Our little drama queen- Hitting send Carly waited for their responsed to come back. It would serve the Brat right if something was wrong." She thought. That girl just couldn't learn from her mistakes. Carly would have felt sorry for her if she wasn't so mad at her. She kept her best friend from her for 7 months. For 7 months she knew that Sam's husband, Danny's father and Monica's son was alive and she did nothing. God, Carly wanted to strangle the life out of the little twit but she knew the nurse was in her own personal hell now that she had lost Jason. Now if only she could get Jason to see that this was for the best but her best friend had been miserable and a downright grouch since he moved out of Liz's house. Given enough time though Carly believed he would get over phone beeped interrupting her musings, she had three new text messages
Sonny: Well for her kids sake, I hope it's nothing serious
Sam: Oh great, another way for her to get attention from Jason
Jason: I'm on my way. Crap. She hadn't meant to send that to him. She knew he would come rushing to the brunette's side. Wait, I didn't send that to him so how did he...? As if he could read her mind another message came through on her phone.
Jason-I was with Sonny when he got the message. Sam's coming with me too. About to send a reply, she was distracted by Felix's drawl...
"Well look whose starting to return to the land of the living. How you feeling Mama Webber?" Felix asked his friend affectionately as Elizabeth was slowly regaining consciousness.
"I'm a little tired, but I am okay. What happened? Elizabeth sat up, rubbing her forehead.
"Patrick will be back in a few minutes and he can explain everything." Sabrina said as she hugged her friend. "I'm just glad to see you are okay.
"Nurse Webber, what have I told you about passing out at work? You are strictly forbidden from doing it!" Epiphany sent her a mock glare and a wink as she poked her head in.
"I'm sorry Piph, it won't happen again. I'm probably just dehydrated and haven't eaten enough today." Elizabeth pushed her self up so that she was sitting up.
"I'm afraid its not that easy Elizabeth" Patrick's voice was grave as he entered the cubicle. "Would you all please give us a moment?" Taking in how serious he looked, the other three nurses left quietly as they closed the door behind them.
"Patrick what is it?" Elizabeth asked.
"I wish there was an easier way to say this.."
Carly watched from the corner of the door as Elizabeth (after hearing what Patrick said) lost all color in her face as she appeared to have been stunned by whatever it was that the good doctor was saying. She watched as Patrick walked over to the side of the bed and leaned down to give her a hug.
"Carly" She turned to see Jason and Sam behind her.
"Hey"
"How is she?" Jason asked concerned while Sam rubbed her hand up and down his arm to comfort him.
"She's awake and Patrick's in with her now."
"See then she's going to be fine, Patrick's the best. Let's go wait in the lobby until Patrick comes out." Guiding him in the direction of the waiting area, Carly followed slowly behind as this nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach started to grow. Never one to ignore her instincts, the blonde could feel that something bad was about to happen, she just could never have guessed what.
Back in her hospital room an hour later, Elizabeth was slowly getting dressed as she thought about what Patrick said. She had a miscarriage. Which had meant that she was pregnant. With Jason's baby and she never had a clue. Part of her was sad to know that her body had failed her in this way. The other part was relieved, as horrible as that is she thought. However it was true. The last thing she wanted was to relieve 2006/2007, and that's what would have happened. She would have been pregnant with Jason's baby. A man who was with another woman (to some extent). The worst part is that back then she and Jason were friends and now they were nothing. Oh how her heart hurt just to think about it. She couldnt' even comprehend the last part of what Patrick said, instead she focused on how she didn't have to worry about dealing with Hurricane Carly and Sam. Neither one of them had forgiven her let alone talked to her since it was revealed that she knew all along. Which was fine with her. She was just as angry at them, and it was starting to take over. If she was being quite honest with herself she thought as she opened the door to leave her hospital room, she's been angry since 2001. All the broken promises, all the back and forth. All the jealously and anger directed at her bad decisions had finally taken its toll. Her body couldn't even handle carrying a baby anymore because of all the stress and trauma. Anger rose up again as she thought about who Patrick said was waiting out side for her. it made her sick to her stomach that they were even pretending to care. Everyone else had no problem pointing out her flaws and her mistakes but god forbid anyone else get put under the town microscope. Well Elizabeth had had it. She was done being nice about everything. She was tired of being the only one blamed. If they wanted to berate her than they woud have to deal with Lizzie because Elizabeth Webbber was done.
