Chapter 4

"Clear!" Alex's body popped into the air, but the machine kept beeping. The machine was flat. The doctors repeatedly rubbed the shock paddled together, before colliding them with Alex's chest. "Clear!" The machine paused, before continuously beeping. They repeated the steps again. And again. Finally the lines jumped like an ecstatic kindergartner.

Dean watched from behind the door, feeling his own heart stop. Lilly was gone, alerting everyone else. He felt his limbs shake and his legs began to feel numb. His attention suddenly went back to the doctors. They were all running around, keeping her heartbeat steady. He continued to stare, hoping for her to be okay. He finally peeled his eyes off of the room and headed towards the floor waiting room.

The room was empty, but not silent. The TV above played, but he ignored it.

She screamed in pain as she pushed for the second time. She clutched onto her husband's hand as she pushed when each contraction hit her. She found that every time she pushed, she began to feel more pain. She pushed for a fourth time and let out a painful moan.

With one more push, and loud screams were filled through the room. Both parents glanced at the baby girl before their eyes, before she was taken away. They both waited impatiently, intertwining their fingers together. Their baby girl was soon brought to them, being cuddled in their arms. They both smiled at the beautiful baby they created. She was the most amazing thing they had laid their eyes on. She was perfect. Her beautiful eyes and her…

Dean suddenly pulled his eyes lids apart, feeling his heart repeatedly pump. He paused a moment, confused at the weird dream he has just had. He glanced as his watch. Thirty minutes. He was sleeping for thirty minutes. He planted his feet on the white tiles and walked towards the room. He slyly peeked in. There she lay. As pale as could be. His eyes flew onto the machine. Her heartbeat was finally steady. He opened the door and sat on the blue chair next to her bed. After the nurse in the room smiled at him, he knew he was allowed in. He left a kiss on her lips, before holding her hand tight. He studied every feature. He was not leaving her side.

But, an hour had passed. She was still not awake. "Why isn't she up yet? When is she suppose to be up?"

"Well…we're not sure when she's going to wake up. She could be out for another minute, or she could be out for years." The nurse hated to spread the bad news, but she knew she had to.

"Years?"

"Yes, it's called a coma. I'm so sorry."

"A coma? She's in a coma?"

"Well there's a possibility. Don't get too nervous yet." The nurse quietly slipped various papers into a file.

"Well, what's wrong with her? Why did this happen?"

"We're not quite sure yet. There are numerous possibilities. Panic attacks, dehydration, pregnancy…"

"Pregnancy? She could be pregnant?"

"Like I said, we're not sure. These are just possibilities. We're not even sure if it's a possible chance." She slid the files into the draw below her, before dabbing some lotion into her hands.

"It was an accident really. I went to my cousins to get something and he was having a stupid high school party and somebody spiked her water bottle. We both drank it, but we didn't know. We were both drunk and we're not even really sure what happened that night."

"Look I'm sorry to get you so nervous. We have about ten reasons why this happened, and they could all be wrong. Don't get nervous. The blood results should be done in an hour. That will rule out a few possibilities and will notify us if she's pregnant."

"Well if she is pregnant, will the baby be okay?" Dean continued to go on, completely terrified.

"We don't know. The shock paddles usually do harm the baby, but we had no choice but to use them. We were running out of time. Once she wakes up and once some of the tests come in we'll know more."

Dean closed his eyes for a moment, ignoring any other thoughts. He then looked at Alex. "I love you."

Review! I'm sorry for the delay. I've been really busy. When I haven't updated in a while, it is because I'm busy and don't have time. So please stick with me. Thanks and review!
