Author's Note: SORRY ABOUT THIS CHAPTER! Don't worry, all will be right with the Lante world! Anyway, that last chapter wasn't so realistic, Lulu wouldn't have been allowed to see Dante that soon, but it had to be done. Thanks for all the reviews! Updates will probably be less frequent next week because I am going on a short vacation. Please vote!

All of Nothing

Chapter 9: This Can't Be Happening

Lulu's head snapped up to see Dante smiling back at her.

She gasped and her face broke out in a huge smile as she laughed and hugged him as well as she could from the wheelchair.

"You're awake!" she exclaimed.

"Hey, gorgeous. It's so good to see your face," he said hoarsely with a smile.

Lulu giggled ecstatically, she couldn't contain herself.

"What are you doing in here, anyway?" Dante asked, noticing that she was sitting in a wheelchair and still attached to the monitor and the IV. "I mean, I'm glad you are, but shouldn't you be resting? When did you wake up? How many days had it been?" Dante questioned.

"Slow down," Lulu laughed. "I woke up yesterday morning, which was after two days. I asked Robin if she would let me come see you and she said yes," she explained.

"Baby, I don't want you risking your health for me," Dante said.

"Dante, it wasn't just for you, it was for me, too," she reassured him.

"What about..." Dante trailed off.

"Oh, um," Lulu stammered, knowing that Dante was referring to the baby, "it's still undecided yet. We're going to have to wait a little longer to find out."

Dante lifted Lulu's hand to his lips and placed a kiss on it saying, "I'm sure it'll all work out."

"I know," Lulu told him. "We should probably get a doctor in here," she said, reluctant to end their reconnection.

"Mmm, do we have to?" Dante asked, kissing each of her fingertips. "I would kiss your beautiful lips, but I can't really reach," he said caressing her hand.

"Okay, yeah, we need a doctor in here," she said chuckling, "unless you want things to turn out like last time,' reminiscing about the time his monitor had gone off.

Lulu reached over and pressed the call button on the side of Dante's bed. Just a few seconds later, a nurse walked through the door.

"Oh, I see you're awake. I'll go get Dr. Scorpio," she told them.

Robin was happy to see Dante awake, and ran the necessary tests on her patient.

"Okay, everything looks good," she confirmed. "Do you want to rest, or stay here, Lulu?"

"I think I'll stay here a little longer," a thrilled Lulu replied.

"Okay," Robin said. "Just call if you need anything."

"Are you hungry?" Lulu asked Dante. "You've been asleep for days."

"Very," he replied mischievously, ogling her breasts.

She swatted him lightly on the arm saying, "You know that's not what I meant!"

"Sorry, I just missed you. A lot," he admitted.

"Oh, I missed you, too," Lulu said sweetly. "And by the way, so does your mom, so you should probably call her..."

Dante moaned and said, "I'd rather be with you."

A half hour and much playful, loving banter later, Dante and Lulu were sleeping peacefully. Lulu wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed next to him, but she didn't want to risk Robin taking away their visits.

Lulu was jerked out of sleep by a sharp pain in her stomach. She began to breathe heavily and her face contorted in pain. This can't be what I think it is, she thought. She let out a loud moan and leaned forward clutching her stomach. She let out a yelp at a stab of pain and tipped forward, smashing the side of her head on the bed as she fell. She collapsed on the floor in a heap.

Dante awoke to a loud yell in his room and a sickening thud. He looked over to Lulu, who was laying on the floor with a pool of blood beginning forming between her thighs.

"Lulu? Lulu! LULU!" he shouted, trying to get her to wake up. He slammed down the call button repeatedly and shouted, "Help! I need a doctor in here!" He felt helpless stuck in his bed. He tried to reach Lulu to help her get up, but he knew it was pointless; the bed was too far off the ground.

Robin came bursting through the door and ran over to Lulu.

"Get a gurney and bring her into her room," she ordered the nurse who had came in with her, trying to staunch the blood coming from Lulu's head.

"Is this what I think it is?" Dante asked regretfully.

"If you're thinking she's miscarrying your baby, the answer is probably yes," Robin said in a rush, not bothering to sugar-coat the situation for him.

This cannot be happening, he thought hopelessly.
