Brett walked down the hallways, his mind in a million different places. It hadn't really hit him that he and Amelia were having a baby. Not until he'd actually felt his son move for the first time. That's when it had all become real. He bumped into someone and looked up to see the reason he'd lost Amelia before standing in front of him.
"Bridget..."
"Hey Brett." She said as the smile spread across her face. "Congrats on your marriage and baby. I saw Amelia earlier and she looks great. So do you by the way."
"Thanks. Well, it was nice seeing you. I have to go." He said quickly and headed to the locker room.
Adam and Janessa along with Cody and Ricardo arrived at the hospital. They wanted to see how Emma was and to check on John and Missy. They arrived at the room and saw that Emma was sleeping and Missy was too. John had arranged for Missy to stay with Emma as much as she wanted. John was sitting in the chair in the room. He looked up and saw them outside of the room. He quietly got up and walked out careful to not wake Emma or Missy up. They had a rough night. Missy was restless because of Noah and Emma was because of a fever.
"Hey, guys." He said.
"Hey, how are they?" Adam asked as they hugged.
"Okay and stable. Missy didn't sleep well last night because Emma was up with a fever and then Noah was restless." John sighed. "I feel horrible that I can't do more to help." He walked over to the window and looked at the two most important people in his life. "I have to do whatever to save Emma."
"Maybe I can convince her to take a break and get some rest." Janessa said.
"Good luck with that. She hasn't left Emma's side." John said just as Kara and Ted walked up with the twins. Kara was holding both babies and Ted was looking anywhere but at his wife's face. Cody took Olivia and that was when he noticed her hospital bracelet.
"Why is Liv wearing a hospital bracelet?" He asked.
"Ask your friend." Kara said.
"I told you I was sorry. I was carrying the groceries in and got Bree out of the car. I hit the lock with my elbow by accident. The doors locked with Liv, the rest of the groceries and the keys inside. It took the locksmith and the paramedics 45 minutes to get there."
"You idiot! Everyone knows you take the babies in first." Adam said.
"She was so red and having trouble breathing by the time they got her out. The doctor said she would be okay. She was just a little dehydrated and to watch her for any changes in behavior." Kara said still glaring at her husband. "How is Emma?"
"She had a fever all night. Missy hasn't slept well. Noah's been restless."
"Let's us convince her to the cafeteria. Just to get out." Janessa said.
"Good luck." John said as he saw that Missy was up.
"Hey." Kara said walking in with Janessa.
"Hey." Missy said back. She looked at her daughter who was still sleeping.
"Let's go to the cafeteria and get some food and get you out of here. Just for a minute."
"I can't leave her."
"Miss, John is here. It will be okay. You have your cell phone. Honey, you need to get out."
"Alright." She said reluctantly. She followed them out where John and the guys were. They each hugged her. "I'm going downstairs. Call me if anything happens."
"I promise." John said kissing her. Once she was gone, he turned to the guys. "The doctor wants to do a bone marrow transplant. Will you guys get tested to see if you match?"
"Of course." They all said before turning to Ted.
"So, locked your daughter in the car huh?" John said to him.
"It was an accident." He replied. He knew it would take Kara a while to forgive him for it. He never would hurt his children. He just wasn't thinking.
"Dude, you have some ass kissing to do."
"Major, major ass kissing. Jewelry always works wonders. But it's got to be big."
"Why didn't you just put your fist through the window?"
"I panicked."
"Well you better make it up to her."
Janessa and Kara got Missy some food and made her sit down. "You need to eat for yourself and the baby."
"I know but I keep thinking about Emma."
"I know the feeling." Kara said with a sigh.
"What?" Missy asked.
"Ted locked Olivia in the car."
"What? Why would he do that?"
"It was an accident. He was getting the groceries out and he got Bree out. His elbow locked the car with the groceries, Olivia and the keys inside. It took time to get her out. I was so scared."
"This maybe a weird thing to ask but don't you guys have keys to each other's cars?" Missy asked looking at Kara.
"I was across town at meetings with Stephanie. I got there the same time the ambulance did."
"Adam found out he's got to retire." Janessa said causing them both to look at her.
"What?"
"Yeah if he doesn't, he could end up in a wheelchair. I would rather have him with me and the girls all the time then end up in a wheelchair and unable to do anything."
"I understand that." Missy replied. "We love them and we know how much they love what they do. But we also understand that the injuries they suffer are real and can be life threatening. So we support them in whatever decision they make."
"Yeah." Kara agreed.
"I just hope he can be okay with staying with me and the girls."
"I'm sure he will. He loves spending time with his girls." Missy replied. She then turned to Kara. "You know Ted locking Olivia in the car was an accident."
"I know. But it really wouldn't be so bad to make him suffer a little bit would it?"
"Absolutely not." Janessa said laughing. "Seriously though Miss, is there anything we can do to help Emma?"
"Could you guys get tested to see if you're a match? She needs a bone marrow transplant."
"Yeah totally. I'll call Lauren and Randy too."
"And if Brett can get his head out of his ass long enough maybe we can get him to get tested too." Kara said. "I swear I know he's Teddy's brother and all but I just want to ask him if he was dropped on his head as a child. He's been completely ignoring Amelia for the last month or so."
"She mentioned something about it." Missy replied. She looked at her watch. "I better get back upstairs. I don't want her without me for too long."
"Missy, John is there." Kara said to her.
"I know but I'm her mommy. She's my little girl."
"Everything will be okay." Janessa said hugging her. "Let's get you upstairs."
They threw their trash away and headed upstairs. Adam, Ted and Cody had gotten tested while they waited. John hoped someone would match.
"Did you girls have a nice time?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, we talked. Girl talk." Janessa replied before kissing him hello.
"The guys all got tested and we're just waiting on the results now." John said. Missy nodded. "Don't worry baby. We will find a match."
Teddy picked up his phone and called Brett to see if he'd come down and get tested as well. Kara had mentioned to him the worry she had over Brett and Amelia's relationship being in trouble. He'd told her he'd talk to him. Brett picked up his phone and told Teddy that he and Amelia would be by later and quickly hung up as the person he was having lunch with came back to the table. She smiled over at him and he returned the smile, the awkwardness that should have been there gone.
"I'm glad you agreed to do this. It'll give us a chance to catch up."
"Me too Bridget. Me too."
PLease Reivew!
