The plot for this story was partially collaborated on with AllisonXCameron (.net/u/1827272/Rabidnar) and Imnotawuss . If you praise it, please give them due praise too. If you hate it though, I'm the only one you're allowed to yell at.
Chase entered Cameron's room. She was lying still, staring out the window to her side.
"Allison?"
She didn't turn. He came to her side and she turned to look at him with tears in her eyes.
"It's gone," she whispered. "The baby is gone."
He nodded. "I know," he said softly. "I'm sorry," he added.
She turned to her side again. "It's all my fault," she said.
Ally, no..." he began.
"I should have never come back here," she commented. "If I had just stayed...then..." She choked back a sob.
"Allison, this isn't your fault."
"Where's Thirteen?" she asked.
"Ally, please."
She turned to glare at him before turning to her side again.
"Oh, alright. I'll go get her." He walked out of the room. Thirteen was sitting in a chair in the hallway. She looked up at him as he came out. "She wants to see you," he said bitterly. He sat down angrily in a chair beside Thirteen. She stared at him for a moment before standing up and slowly entering the room.
She walked up to the end of the bed. Cameron turned to her. "Hey," Thirteen said softly.
"Hey," Cameron replied.
"Uh, Chase said you wanted to see me?"
"I wanted to thank you for being so nice to me," she replied bluntly. "Since you don't really know me and all."
"Th...thank me?" Thirteen stuttered. "Why would you want to thank me? This is all my fault."
Cameron gave her a confused look. "What do you mean?"
Thirteen began to pace the room. "I told Chase to come back. Then I started arguing with him. This whole thing, the stress, you, your baby...your...baby." Thirteen broke down in sobs and slouched into the chair across from Cameron's bed. "I'm so sorry, Cameron. I should have never come to your hotel room."
Cameron seemed unfazed by her crying. "I asked you to come."
"But I should have just...I dunno..." She shook her head.
Cameron just stared at her. "You should have what? Ignored me when I needed you?" Thirteen looked up from her hands. "I did need you. And I need you now," she continued.
Thirteen stood up and wiped away her tears. She walked to Cameron's side. "I'm here. What do you need?"
"I need a friend," she said.
"I'm here, Cameron."
Cameron looked up into her face. "Thirteen, call me Allison."
Thirteen forced a smile. "Allison, call me Remy." She took her hand.
Allison smiled briefly down at her hand before looking sadly up into Remy's face. "Remy...I lost my baby..." Tears welled up in her eyes and she began to sob. Remy sat down next to her on the bed and wrapped her arm around her. Allison sobbed into her shoulder. Remy held her tightly while she cried.
Chase came back into the room and slid into the bed on Allison's other side. He took her other hand and Allison looked up. "Robert, I'm so sorry," she sobbed.
"Shh...it's okay." He squeezed her hand.
Allison put her head back on Remy's chest, squeezing Chase's hand tightly. Remy rubbed her back and looked apologetically at Chase. He nodded knowingly. Allison tugged slightly on Chase's hand and he settled in behind her, lying his head on the pillow beside hers. He wrapped his arm around her waist.
Remy looked at them both, feeling like an intruder in their moment. She felt torn between wanting to stay at Allison's side and wanting to run from the room and escape the situation. She decided she would stay as long as Allison would have her. Getting lost in her thoughts she had not noticed them both asleep beside her. Chase's snoring brought her from her trance. She felt Allison rising and falling against her chest as she slept. She pulled blankets up around the three of them and settled in for the night as well.
