Chapter 10

"EVA!" Matt ran down the stairs and quickly examined her; luckily she had only jumped ten stairs but she'd cracked her head open on the landing and was mumbling words incoherently. Without thinking he lifted her up and ran down the reminder of the stairs.

"There's an ambulance outside on stand-by!" Lindsay told her as he rushed by her.

"It's going to be okay Eva," Matt tried to assure her; she was going in and out of consciousness and she was loosing a lot of blood; Matt wasn't a doctor but he was also pretty sure she'd done a good deal on her shoulder when she fell.

"MATT!" Gabby was waiting just on the other side of the police tape. With Voight's okay the officer let her through and she wen flying towards him, "What happened?" She demanded.

She jumped ten stairs, cracked her skull on the landing and I think she has a dislocated shoulder. She's lost a lot of blood."

"Auntie Gabby!" Eva moaned out trying to lift her head up, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay Eva," Gabby patted her hand, "Just stay with me alright," She jumped into the back of the ambulance and watched as the paramedic's loaded her in.

"Are you her mother?" One of them asked Gabby as he began assessing Eva.

"Her Aunt but I have guardianship over her. She's sixteen Her names Eva."

"Alright Eva," The young paramedic look at the semi-conscious girl, "I need you to stay awake alright? You just look at your Aunt."

"O-" Her eyes closed and her heart rate dropped. "Come on Eva!" The paramedic began compressions as the ambulance went siring's blazing to Chicago Med. When they arrived Eva was taken immediately into the ER. Unconscious at this point the doctor's did a cat scan and an MRI plus x-rays on her shoulder. When they were finished a doctor went into the waiting room to see Gabby and Matt.

"Ms. Dawson," The female doctor walked up to them, "Dr. Manning. I'm a paediatric resident here. I'm sorry you couldn't go in with your niece but we needed to get the tests done as quickly as possible. She's in the Paediatric ICU ward now. You can go and see her if you want."

Gabby nodded tears sliding down her cheeks, "How is she?" She squeezed Matt's hand.

"I'm going to be honest Ms. Dawson your niece's skull was cracked. Now we were able to repair the external damage but until she waked up we won't know anything. She has a dislocated shoulder too but we're not worried about that. The next forty-eight hours are critical. Hopefully if she wakes up we'll be able to run some more tests to see if there was any internal damage to her head injury.

"You mean she could not be able to talk or walk or…."

"We don't know any of that yet; lets try and stay positive. I'll take you to her."

"Yes, thank you," Gabby and Matt followed her into the elevator and up one floor to the paediatric ICU ward.

Eva's hair had been shaved off and a huge bandage wrapped around her entire head. Her right shoulder was casted and elevated and she had all kinds of tubes coming out of her as well as a rube down her throat. She was in pretty bad shape.

"This is all my fault!" Gabby began to cry, "Antonio and Laura trusted me to look after them,,, first Diego and now Eva….."

"Hey, hey," Matt pulled her into a hug and began rubbing her back, "This isn't you fault alright? Don't blame yourself."

"No. I knew she was at her breaking point but I let her go to school. It is my fault."

"Nobody knew this was going to happen; I don't think even Eva really knew what she was doing."

"No, no she obviously needs help. I just hope she gets better so she can get it.

Diego was sitting in the principal's office after school waiting to be picked up. He'd spent the better part of the day there as word had quickly gotten around as to what was going on at the high school; he'd know about it before he'd got sent down to the office.

"Hey buddy," Ruzek's voice snapped him out of his thoughts as he and Burgruss walked into the office. Burgress went to the desk while sat down beside him.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Diego asked, his head still down, "I know it's bad; everyone said she was going to jump from the second floor." He mumbled, "They think she's crazy; she's not is she?" He finally looked up.

"Your sister…" He tired to find a way to explain it, "Your sister was really upset. Like you were when you were in the hospital only different; you're both hurting so much right now as need a lot of help."

"So she did jump?" He began to cry even more.

"No, no she's in the hospital right now but the next two days are critical. Officer Burgress and I are going to taker you back home so you can change. Then we'll grab everyone something to eat and take you to the hospital alright?"

"I'm not hungry; I just want to see my sister."

"We're still going to get something to eat alright?"

"Fine," He mumbled.

"What if I don't want to see Eva?" Diego asked Officer's Roman and Burgress as they got off the elevator. Diego had managed to eat a few bites out of his burger but not anything else.

"Then I'll stay with you out here," Roman squeezed his shoulder, "I'll take some time off. We can see if we can watch a movie or play a board game or something. You know what Detective Halstead's brother is a doctor here. I bet he'd let you go into the doctor's lounge if you want."

"I guess," Diego dragged his feet off to a waiting room. His grandparents were there and he ran to them and hugged them as tightly as he could.

"Abuela, Abuelo," He looked up at them, "My friend Officer Roman said he'd stay with me? Can he? You can go and see Eva. Auntie Gabby needs to rest; you need to take care of her."

While his Abuela kept hugging him Jose Dawson, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department walked up to Officer's Roman and Burgress, "Thank you so much for looking after my grandson. My son thought very highly of both of you."

'Thank you Sir."

"Thank you Sir."

"Officer Roman," Diego finally stopped crying, "Can we go back down to the gift shop so I can get something for Eva?"

"Sure bud," Roman smiled, "You know what though I need to talk to Sergeant Voight first but then I can spend the day with you."

"Officer Burgress too?" He asked hopefully.

"Done," Jose, smiled gratefully looking at the younger officers, "I'll make some calls; it's the least I can do for the two of you; Gabby told me how much you've been helping with Diego."

"Thank you Sir," Roman nodded, "Come on bud," He led Diego out of the room, "We can go get Eva something and maybe even find something for us to do too. What do you want to get?"

"Maybe a really hard Where's Waldo book and Clue." He said. They were waiting by the elevator but as the doors opened Diego's Aunt and other Grandparents stepped out, Roman moving in front of Diego an crossing his arms.

"I don't think this is a good place for you to be," He warned, "If I yell you're hear you'll be in a world of trouble."

"Look," Laura's older sister looked at him, "We're not here to cause any problems we just want to know how Eva's doing; and you don't have to hide Diego from us."

"You'd have to ask her doctor how she's doing," Burgress told her, "I'll take you."

"Oh wonderful," Laura's mother rolled her eyes, "A police escort. Just what we need."

"Karen," Victor looked at his wife, "Enough."

"Right," She nodded and took a deep breath walking towards the front desk f the unit. Burgress explaining the situation to the nurse; before long not only were Dr. Manning and Dr. Halstead there but Gabby as well as her parents.

"What do you want?" Gabby broke the silence, "Because I can guarantee that none of you are seeing Eva!" She started crying again, "I think you all know the stress of the custody dispute on top of her parents ding was o much for her. Now she may die!"

"Look," Karen began, "Can we talk? Somewhere in private?"

"I don't think that; a good idea," Jose spoke up.

"Alright," Karen handed over an envelope, "I never wanted any of this to happen. I just wanted to make sure I saw my grandchildren; I thought if I didn't have sole custody I'd never see them, despite what you told me; When Laura and Antonio were together we hardy saw them but when the got separated we saw the kids more. I guess I didn't want to loose my only connection to my daughter, my baby girl My daughter and my husband have been trying to get me to reconsider and it took me to realize I could really loose my family…. I know I don't deserve to see them but don't take that out on the daughter or my husband.

Gabby opened up the envelope and saw the custody papers and papers that said Karen had dismissed her suit for custody

"Ms. Dawson, Mr. Casey!" A nurse came running, "It's Eva!"
