That's my son…
A squad car pulled up to the scene and two police officers jumped out, rushing towards the badly mangled cars.
"I'll check on him. You check out the other car." one of the officers said when they saw a man sitting on the curb with a bloody cut across his forehead. The other officers nodded his head and took off towards the other car.
"Sir, can you tell me what happen?" the officer asked squatting down in front of the injured man.
"It was raining hard…"The man slurred "and then crash, bang, boom…everything went black."
The officer made a face as soon as the man opened his mouth. It was more then obvious that the man had been drinking. Deciding the man wasn't going to be able to shed any light on what happen, the officer helped him to his feet and led him towards the ambulance that just arrived. Paramedics rushed around to the back of the ambulance, swinging the doors open and helped the drunk man into the back.
"Have you had anything to drink today, sir?" the officer asked.
"Me?…No, no." The man said shaking his head "Not a drop."
The officer looked at one of the paramedics, who just nodded his head, answering the unspoken questioned that was passed between the two. The officerswent to ask another question when he heard "There's a baby in the back." Whipping his head around, he saw his partner trying to open the back door of the other mangled car. Not giving the man a second look, the officer rushed towards the car, yelling "Go around to the other side. There's no way you're going to get that door open."
The officer nodded and ran around to the other side of the car while the other looking in the driver side window. "Miss, can you hear me?" he asked while checking for a pulse on the unresponsive girl.
"This door isn't opening, either. The frame of the car is tweaked." The officer called form the other side of the car.
"I've got a pulse. It's weak but it's there. Try the front door. If that doesn't work, we'll have to smash out the rear window."
The officer nodded his head as he reached for the door handle, letting out a breath when the door opened. Climbing into the car, he looked over the girl before looking up at his partner "Her leg is pinned between the door and the dash. We're going to need the jaws of life. How's the other driver?"
The officer looked up at his partner, giving him a look "He's drunk."
Shaking his head, he checked out the car seat before pulling the handle on the back to unclip it. Carefully avoiding the injured girls head, he maneuvered the car seat to the front of the car, looking over the screaming baby. Not wanting to pull the folded blanket over the car seat, incase there was glass hidden in it, he shrugged off his coat and placed it over it.
"I'm going to take him over to the other ambulance. There's two bag's in the front seat. Her id might be in one. The other looks like a diaper bag."
The officer nodded, stepping out of the way of the firemen so they could start working on freeing Amy. Noticing that the traffic had came to a stop, he said " I'll grab them and then ask around to see if anyone saw anything, see if I can find the person that called it in."

Ricky stared out the window of his apartment, overlooking the parking lot. His eyes drifted from the window to the clock before looking back out the window. "They should be here by now." he mumbled under his breath.
"Is she really that scared to drive in the rain?" Adrian asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.
"Come on, Adrian. You weren't even a little bit nervous driving when you first got you license?"
"No."
"Of course not." Ricky mumbles under his breath "You and Amy are completely different. Why would I think you had that in common?"
Adrian sat up on the couch, crossing her arms over her chest, her glossed lips pressed together, saying "And what's that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing." Ricky said shaking his head. He didn't mean for her to hear that. He felt his stomach tighten when an ambulance rushed by the apartment complex, lights flashing and sirens blaring.
"No Ricky, you're right. Amy and I are completely different. What I want to know is why you said it like it was such a bad thing."
"I didn't say it like it was a bad thing." Ricky said trying to defend himself as another ambulance rushed by. "Something's going on."
"Something's going on? Between you and Amy? I swear to god, Ricky-"
"Nothing going on between Amy and me. I thought you were over this whole jealously thing you had with her. She's John's mom, Adrian. She's always going to be in the picture." Ricky exclaimed, cutting Adrian off "Something's going on outside. Two ambulances just rushed by."
Adrian stood up and muted the tv. Glaring at Ricky as she walked over to the window, she stood in front of him and listened for a minute. "Whatever's going on must be close by. I can still hear the sirens pretty good."
Ricky felt the knot in his stomach tighten even more and he could feel that something was wrong. Rushing to the door, he grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket to call Amy. Skipping every other step, he made it to the front door of his apartment complex just as Amy's voicemail picked up.
"Ricky, I'm sure everything's fine." Adrian said coming up from behind him.
Ricky ignored her as he jogged to the street. He's hands locked together behind his head and he felt his heart rate jump at the scene he saw two blocks down. The corner where Amy would turn to come to his place was completely closed off, in every direction and there were three ambulances, a fire truck and a couple cop cars squatter around. Breaking into a run, he only slowed his pace to push his way to the front of the crowd that had gathered.
Ricky reached the front to see an officer carry a car seat around to the back of one of the ambulances. It was covered by the cops coat, so he couldn't see what it looked like. The cop purposely sat the car seat down in the back of the ambulance, so the back of it was facing the crowd before taking the coat off of it. He felt his heart stop when he saw the blanket laying under the coat. He knew John had a blanket just like that. The cop pulled the door shut a little, blocking the view completely as the paramedic took the baby out of the car seat.
"John." Ricky whispered before ducking under the crime scene tape that was put up to block the crowd from getting any closers.
"Hey, you can't go over there son." A nearby cop said putting his arms out to stop Ricky from going any further.
"That's my son." Ricky said struggling to get out of the officers grip. "That's my son." He said again getting the attention of the officer that sat the car seat in the back of the ambulance.
The officer nodded and the cop instantly let go of Ricky. As he approached the back of the ambulance, Ricky finally got a clear view of the car accident. A green car was sitting in the middle of the intersection, with the front end smashed in. Down the street, sat Amy's black car, with the entire driver side crunched in. He saw the firemen pull the drivers door back just enough for the paramedic to lift Amy's lifeless body out of the car.
John's loud cry made Ricky tare his eyes away from the gruesome scene to the back of the ambulance, where John laid on the stretcher, arms waving and legs kicking as he let out another loud cry. Snapping out of the trance he seem to be in, Ricky jumped into the ambulance, pushing the paramedics hands away so he could pick his son up.
"It's alright, John. Daddy's got ya." Ricky said holding the infant out in front of him, to check for himself that the baby way ok. His eyes went wide when he say the blood on the arm of his son.
"It's alright." The paramedic said "It's just a small cut. A piece of glass must have nicked his arm. But I'm going to needed you to lay John back down on the stretcher so I can get a better look at him." Ricky nodded as he laid John down and jumped slightly when the back doors slammed shut. The paramedic let out a soft chuckle, saying "We thought you'd want to ride to the hospital."
Once again, Ricky just nodded his head. Laying down on his side, he leaned over John and gently laid his had on his stomach, rubbing his thumb back in forth. The infants cry's subsides as his eyes focused on his daddy's face. Ricky quickly looked over at the paramedic before turning back to his son.
"How's um…." he stop to clear his throat "How's Amy?"
"I'm really not sure, they brought your son to me. I haven't seen the dir- I mean Amy. I'm not sure what her statues is." The paramedic answered.
"Are we good to go?" Another paramedic asked, getting behind the wheel.
"Yeah," The paramedic looked up from Johns arm at Ricky before asking "How's the girl?"
The driver quickly looked in his rearview mirror and noticed Ricky for the first time. "She stable but unconscious. Her leg is broke in at least one place if not more. They'll know more once they examine her."
Ricky never looked up from his sons face as he absorbed the information. He was so thankful that he son was alright but he found himself biting his tongue, trying to hold back the tears that wanted to escape as he silently said a pray asking for Amy to be ok. John needed his mom and even though he wouldn't say it out loud, he needed Amy.
Adrian watched as the ambulance, with Ricky in the back, pulled away. It wasn't until then that she got a clear shot of Amy's car being pulled up on to tow truck. Pushing her way out of the crowd, she waited until she was outside Ricky's apartment complex before pulling out her phone.
"Grace, be ready in ten minutes. I'll be there to pick you up."
"Wait a minute Adrian. "Grace said from the other side on the phone "What's going on?"
"Amy and the baby were in a car accident."

They arrived at the hospital right behind the ambulance that had Amy in the back of it. Ricky hopped put grabbing the car seat as the paramedic carried John into the hospital. He got a clear look at Amy as the paramedic pulled the stretcher out of the back and felt the lump in his throat rise again. Her eye's were closed still and her arms were lip at her side. She had a couple of cuts on one hand and on the side of her face. It seemed like everything was moving in slow motion as a group of doctors and nursed instantly surrounded the stretcher and rushed it passed him.
"Sir," the paramedic said putting his hand on Ricky's shoulder "The doctor took your son this way."
Ricky turned and followed the paramedic into a small room where John laid in one of those plastic bed's they put newborns in, surrounded by nurses.
"Is he allergic to anything?" One of them asked when Ricky walked into the room.
Shaking his head no, Ricky sat down the car seat before taken a seat in a chair by the wall, feeling completely helpless as the nurses check out his son. When they went to push the carrier out of the room, Ricky stood up to follow only to be stop by a nurse.
"Sorry, but you can't come with us. Hospital policy. Everything seems great with John, we're just going to run some test to make sure. He'll be back in a minute. You can wait here."
Ricky sat back down in the chair as silence over came the room. Running his hand through his hair before letting out a deep breath. He knew Amy was nervous that's why he offered to come and get them. If only she hadn't heard Adrian stupid comment, Ricky thought to himself. Suddenly, he felt extremely guilt. He was the one who 'forgot' to pick up John today. Which, as Amy pointed out earlier, was becoming a habit. Resting his head against the cold wall, he tried to clear his thoughts.
"I'm here for Amy Juergens." he heard a frantic voice say from the hallway.
Anne, he thought jumping up and stepping into the hallway. He walked around the corner an saw Amy parents standing by the ER desk.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Secret Life ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Her names Amy Juerg-….16 year ol-….. Leg's broke in at le-…." Amy heard as she fade in and out of conscious. She felt like she was being pushed on something and every so often she would see a blurred light pass by over head. That's when the pain ripped through her body again.
"AHHHH!" Amy cried trying to sit up, reaching out for her leg.
"Amy, you needed to lay down. Get some morphine in that iv, she's in a lot of pain." she heard someone say as she was forced back down "Amy, my name is Dr. Hewitt. You're at the hospital. Do you know what happen?"
Suddenly, Amy had a flash back to the wipers moving, John crying and then a loud crash. "John" Amy mumbled as the pain medication took over
"John?" the Dr. Hewitt questioned looking around the stretcher.
"Her son," one of the paramedic explained "he was in the car with her. He's fine."
"Amy, can you hear me?" Amy heard the doctor ask once again "John's fine. Can you tell me what happened?"
"A…a car accident…" Amy trailed off at the pain medication took over completely.
