Henry whipped into the emergency room just as an ambulance pulled up. Henry had called ahead to let them know they were coming but with Vicki's yelling in the background to "hurry the fuck up" it was apparent there was urgency involved. When Henry exited the vehicle, the nurses were already at the car door with a wheelchair. Henry glanced at the ambulance and took note of who was on the gurney. He quickly turned Vicki away and frowned. What was he to do? He knew that was Gwen but where were the children? Vicki would be distraught if she knew, he couldn't leave her. There was only one person to call..Celluci.
"Mr. Fitzroy, follow me. This is her fourth child, it may not take long," the nurse said prodding him away from the driveway. Henry nodded.
"Vicki, Ieft something in the car. I'll be right back," He kissed the top of her head and squeezed her hand. His eyes were dark, his brow was deeply furrowed. Vicki grabbed Henry by the shirt collar pulling his face inches from hers.
"Henry, you better hurry up. I'm barely able to keep him squeezed in here mister," She was sweating profusely now and extremely pissed.
The nurses wheeled Vicki in as Henry made sure she was still shielded from Gwen. As soon as Vicki was out of sight, Henry ran to Gwen's side, taking her hand in his.
"What happened?" Henry asked the EMT's.
"And you are.." the EMT asked.
"She's my nanny, my kids..where are they?" Henry looked around knowing full well they weren't around or he would have felt their presence.
"There was no one else in the house." Henry stopped where he was, they continued into the hospital and left him standing in the driveway.
He immediately dialed Mike's number...
Dioncia looked at her rooms filled with the wonderful magical children. They were even more powerful when they were all together. She could feel it, even through the protective shields up on the doorways. She had M.J., Abbie and Ward together. Sarah and Jaxon were together with London and Jenni being in the last room.
"My mother is going to kill you bitch!" Abbie yelled. She was completely vamped out, as was Ward. London had yet to show any vampire abilities.
"Abbie! Mom doesn't like it when you talk like that!" Ward reminded her. Abbie swirled around to face her twin.
"Shut up Ward! Can't you see? This woman is probably going to kill us " Abbie turned to the woman, "aren't you?" Abbie said in her little vampire voice.
"You are a smart one aren't you? You three, I'll save for last. I'll start with the little ones, they'll offer less resistance. But, not today. It's not time yet. Bacchus has not given me the okay yet. He's waiting," she said as she eyed each child. She could feel the strength in Abbie as if it were pulsing through her, Ward and London too. The others were strong but not as strong as these three.
"Where the hell is Henry?" Vicki growled at one of the nurses. The nurse, nonplussed by her outburst answered, "on his way sweetie," as she continued to get Vicki ready.
"This baby is..." Vicki grabbed her stomach and bent over, holding the bed for support.
"Come on, get into the bed Vicki," the nurse tried to get her in but she wouldn't budge.
"Vicki? Get into the bed, honey," Vicki looked up, her face in a grimace.
"I can't.." she finally gasped out.
"Why not?" the nurse asked.
"Because I think his head is already out.." Vicki said her eyes telling the nurse that the time had run out rather quickly.
Henry picked that exact moment to enter the room. Vicki wasn't aware but he had called Mike alerting to the situation at hand. Mike already knew about Gwen and that the kids were nowhere to be found.
"Where the fuck have you been Henry?" Vicki was still Vicki even while standing next to a hospital bed with her child nearly falling from her womb.
"Vicki..." Henry looked at the nurse who quickly filled him in. Henry picked Vicki up, put her in the bed and yelled for the nurse to get the doctor, any doctor.
"Henry.." Vicki had her legs pulled up, her gown exposing her in all her glory. Henry's eyes widened when he looked.
"Oh...Vicki, for the love of...don't push, don't push," Henry was holding her hand and stroking her forehead.
"Henry, I'm not...he's coming..you're going to have to get him.." Vicki told him. Henry scanned the room searching for gloves of any kind. He yelled for the nurse again, no sign of anyone. Vicki was now screaming.
"HENRY!! Do something!!" she yelled. Henry rolled his sleeves up, snapped some gloves and thought, what the hell. He glanced at the door once more hoping it would open with some sort of medical personnel coming through. No such luck.
"Henry.." Vicki panted, doing her best not to push, "I can't..I can't stop him..he's coming..do something..please.." she was lying back trying to relax but their son had other ideas.
Henry was torn. His children were missing, his wife was giving birth and it looked s though he was going to be the one to bring him into the world...
