2 April 2012: 20:50: Westside Medical:
Chuck arrived in the hospital with Sarah in his arms, he was crying and screaming:
"Please, can someone help me, please my wife is pregnant !"
Suddenly, a doctor Chuck knows because of Ellie heard him and went close to them saying:
"Chuck, what happened ?"
"I don't know, I woke her up and she had a big stomach pain, she got up of the couch and she began to scream and she fainted in my arms, so I went here and please help her."said he still crying.
"Can someone bring me a stretcher, hurry up !"
Nurses came to bring the stretcher and helped Chuck to put Sarah on it, safely.
They took Sarah to a room and Chuck was able to come with her with permission from the doctor but he had to sit on a chair waiting for the doctors to wake up Sarah.
40 minutes passed and the baby was okay and Sarah was on a drip and Chuck was sitting next to her on a chair waiting for her to wake up
40 minutes passed and the baby was okay and Sarah was on a drip and Chuck was sitting next to her on a chair waiting for her to wake up. He called Ellie, his mom, Morgan, Casey and Sarah's mom for them to come to the hospital for Sarah. Emma, Molly, Alex, Morgan and Casey arrived very quickly but Ellie, Devon, Clara and Mary had to find a flight from Chicago to Burbank.
A doctor knocked at the door and enter in the room saying:
"There are people for you, would you come see them or should I ask them to come here ?"
"Th-they can come here, thank you Emily."said he drying his tears, his eyes were red.
"You're welcome."
Chuck was waiting for them to come, he had Sarah's hand in his and he was kissing it. Suddenly, the door opened and they came into the room. Emma went immediately next to Sarah taking her free hand and said:
"Oh God, my baby."tears went to her eyes.
"Is she okay Chuck ?"asked Morgan, worried.
"We don't know but, she's alive so, it's the most important."answered Chuck
"I'm so sorry for you Chuck."said Alex.
"Thanks."said Chuck.
"She's strong, she will survive and the baby too."said Casey putting his hand on Chuck's shoulder.
"I know."said Chuck looking at Casey, and he took off his hand.
"We're going to let you alone with her."proposed Alex.
"Yes, thank you very much for coming guys but where is Molly ?"asked Chuck.
"She's with a nurse in the waiting room, don't worry."answered Emma with a little smile.
"Okay, see you soon guys."said Chuck with a little smile too.
"Yeah."answered Casey, Morgan, Alex and Emma together.
10 minutes passed and Chuck received a text from Ellie saying that they found a flight and that they will be at the hospital at 2:00 am.
"Sarah, please wake up."said he stroking her cheek.
"Mmm."muttered she.
"Sarah !"said Chuck surprised.
"Mmm...Chuck."
"Baby, hey, are you okay ?"
"I think yes."said she trying to get up.
"No no, don't move."
"Is the baby okay ?"said she worried.
"Yes, don't worry, the baby is fine but we have to wait an another test to see what's wrong with your pain."
"Okay."said she lowering her head and looking at her hands.
"Hey sweetheart, look at me, don't worry, it's gonna be okay."said he taking her chin with his finger for her to look at him.
"Okay."
10 minutes later Sarah asked:
"Did you sleep since you are here ?"
"No babe I was too worried to sleep."answered he.
"You should sleep, come here."said she pushing herself to the left to let Chuck lay on the mattress with her.
"Okay."said he getting up of his chair, lying on the mattress, putting his head on Sarah's chest during she was stroking his hair."Thank you babe."
"You're welcome honey."said she.
"Do I hurt you ?"asked Chuck raising his head to look at her.
"No no, don't worry, I'm fine, you don't hurt me at all baby."answered she.
"Good."said he starting to fall asleep.
20 minutes later Emily knocked at the room door, entered and she whispered:
"Hey."
"Hi."whispered Sarah too, trying not to wake up her husband.
"Can you wake him up, I have the test results."said she sadly.
"Of course."said she a little worried because of Emily's face."Chuck, baby wake up Emily has the results."said she stroking Chuck's cheek.
"Mmm, yes."said he sitting himself on the mattress.
"So, is it good or bad ?"asked Sarah.
"It's well...it's a little bad."
"What do you mean is he alive ?"said Chuck very worried.
"Yes, he's alive but..."
"But what ?"asked Sarah.
"Your baby has Down syndrome."
"What ?"said Chuck taking Sarah's hand.
"He has trisomy 21, we made a amniocentesis, I checked up 3 times."
"God, how is it even possible, nobody in our family has trisomy 21."
"It happened sometimes, even if nobody has it, I'm so sorry."said she lowering her head.
Chuck and Sarah were looking at each other sadly.
"You have two options."
"Which ones ?"asked Chuck.
"Keep the baby but it will have consequences like he'll have: a flat neck, a round face, a small nose, more distant eyes, slits of oblique eyelids and feet like generally short fingers and rather squat hands or Sarah must abort."said she lowering her head.
"No, no, I don't want to abort."said Sarah crying.
"You have 13 days to think about that and if you want to abort we'll make an surgical IVG."
"Okay thanks Emily, can you leave us alone please ?"asked he with a little smile.
"Yes of course, I'll come back in 50 minutes."said she opening the door and getting out.
"Baby, Sarah, stop crying please."said he taking Sarah's head in his hands
"I-I don't want to abort...I-I want to keep our baby."said she crying all the tears of her body.
"I know babe, I know, I want to keep him too."said he crying.
"Why always us, can't we have a good and normal life for one time."
"I don't know."said he lowring his head.
"After all we've been trough, the Intersect problems, Shaw, Fulcrum, The Ring, we wait three years to finally be together and my memory lost, and now this, our baby, what's wrong with us ?"said she still crying and angry.
"Nothing, nothing is wrong with us we just have many many problems."said Chuck looking into her eyes.
"I'm starting to believe to the Bartowski family curse, you know."said she looking her hands.
"No baby, don't say that, it will be okay."
"Not for the baby."said she looking into his hazel eyes.
"Maybe not for the baby but either of us want you to abort so, we keep the little peanut, okay ?"asked he smiling.
"Are you sure you want to keep this baby too ?"asked Sarah starting to smile.
"Yes of course I'm sure."said he smiling brightly.
"Okay, good."said she smiling too and he closed the space between them and he kissed her.
"Chuck, can we sleep now ?"
"Yes of course Sarah, we have 50 minutes"
"Okay, come back here."said she.
They slept from 22:32 to 23:37. When Emily knocked at the door, Sarah and Chuck woke up.
"Hey, are you two hungry ?"asked Emily.
"Oh yes, very hungry."answered Sarah.
"No thanks, I'm not."answered Chuck.
"Chuck, honey, you should eat something."said Sarah stroking his cheek.
"I'm not hungry babe, I promise."said he putting his hand on Sarah's hand which was stroking his cheek.
"Okay, but if after you're hungry you'll can take into my plate, okay ?"
"Sure."said he with a smile.
Emily brings food to Sarah and says:
"There."said she putting the plate on the tray.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, are you still fine, nothing is wrong, no pain ?"asked Emily to Sarah.
"No, no pain, I'm fine."
"Okay, I'll come back if you need me."said she heading to the door.
"Okay and Emily ?"
"Yes."said she turning around.
"We'll keep the baby."said Sarah putting her hands on her stomach.
"Are you two sure ?"
"Yes, completely sure."said the the two of them.
"Okay good."said she getting out of the room.
Sarah ate and Chuck slept on her chest. Finally she fell asleep at 00:24. It was 2:13 am and someone knocked at the door, Sarah woke up but Chuck kept sleeping. Someone enter and it was Ellie, Devon and Clara in Mary's arms. Sarah whispered:
"Hi."
"Hi you, how are you."asked Ellie.
"I'm better."answered Sarah.
"How's Chuck."asked Ellie.
"He's fine."answered she."He's sleeping, he's tired, he didn't sleep when I was sleeping."
"It's normal."Devon said.
"I know."Sarah said and Chuck began to wake up.
"Mmm...what's wrong baby ?"
"Nothing baby, Ellie, Devon, your mom and Clara are here."said she stroking his hair.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know."he said as he got up from the bed.
"It's okay."said Mary."How'd you sleep ?"
"Pretty good, how was your flight ?"
"Good too."
"Why Sarah fainted ?"asked Ellie.
"Apparently because of the hotness."answered Chuck.
"Okay and do you have news, how's the baby ?"asked Ellie.
"Well..."began Chuck.
"What ?"asked Ellie, Mary and Devon worried.
"Um, well, it's not a good new."said Chuck looking down at Sarah who was looking at him.
"What do you mean, is he alive ?"asked Mary.
"Yes he's alive but, there's a problem."said Sarah.
"He has trisomy 21."said Chuck finally.
"What ?!"said Ellie, Devon and Mary together.
"Yes, it's bad but we decided to keep the baby."said Sarah.
"Really, are you sure ?"asked Ellie surprised.
"Yes, we are."said the two of them.
"But there can be consequences."said Ellie.
"We know and we don't care, it's our child, I won't abort Ellie."said Sarah.
"Okay, I understand."answered she.
Emily knocked at the door and said:
"Hi Ellie, taking her in her arms."
"Hi Em."said Ellie.
"Hi Devon."
"Hi."
"Hello "said Emily to Mary.
"Hello."
"So, Sarah are you still okay ?"asked Emily.
"Yes, I am."
"Can you walk ?"asked the doctor.
"I don't know, I didn't try."answered Sarah.
"Okay, you have to try."said Emily.
"Okay."said Sarah trying to get up and Chuck was there to help her getting up.
Sarah got up from the bed and she held Chuck and Emily said:
"You have to do it on your own, Chuck can't help you, unless you feel bad."
"Oh okay," Sarah said, releasing Chuck's shoulder and Chuck let go of her arm and waist.
Sarah walked and she was okay so Emily said:
"Okay, you're fine, I think you can go home this morning."
"Really ?"asked Chuck surprised.
"Yes, everything is okay with her and the baby so, it's good."
"Okay, good."said Chuck smiling at Sarah who smiled back at him.
"Now you have to sleep, Ellie, Devon, Mary you have to go, sorry."
"Oh yes of course we understand."said Ellie closing the gap with Chuck and hugging him."See you soon little brother."
"See you sis."said Chuck.
"See you Sarah."said Ellie taking her sister in law in her arms.
"See you El."said Sarah.
"Bye guys."said Devon heading to the door to opened it.
"See you Awesome."said Chuck and Sarah.
Mary make a goodbye sign with her hand and Clara too. Emily leaved the room too.
"I would've liked to hold Clara."said Sarah looking at Chuck who was sitting with her.
"Yes me too baby but we need some sleep."
"I know."said she lying on the mattress and Chuck lay on her chest and she stroked his hair."Good night Chuck."
"Good night baby, I love you."
"I love you too."
And they fell asleep happy.
