I do not own anything
Choices
What in the fuck am I supposed to do? I am desperate to see my children and Adrian, but if I go there, I am wasting precious seconds I should be spending finding Lissa. What if I get killed rescuing Lissa? Then, I would have lost my last chance to hold my babies and see my Husband one last time.
"Mom, I am going to the Hospital real quick. I want to say goodbye, and then I will meet you at the Head Quarters." I say.
My Mom nods to me. "Ok, I will see you soon." She tells me.
I sprint towards the hospital, eager to get there to see for myself that Rowan and Alivia are ok. I enter through double doors that open automatically, and I find my way to the Receptionist's desk.
"Hi." I tell her. "I am here to see Rowan, Alivia, and Adrian Ivaschov."
"The infants are in the Infant ICU and Adrian is in room 434." She tells me.
"Thank you." I tell her and I follow the signs to the Infant ICU.
I am greeted by a Nurse.
"Hi, I am Rowan and Alivia Ivaschov's Mom and I am here to see them." I tell her.
The Nurse smiles at me warmly.
"Hi. My name is Amber. Your children are doing really well. If you follow me right this way, you can see them." She tells me.
I follow her through orange doors labeled, "Infant ICU" in big letters. On the other side of the doors, I follow her down the hallway and to the left.
"They are right in here." She tells me as she points to a doorway on my left.
I rush in as fast as I can with tears in my eyes.
"Oh Alivia and Rowan. I have missed you so, so much!" I croon to them.
I take them out of their bassinets and they wake up while I am holding them. Rowan has a bandage over his bite mark, and both of them have IV's so I have to be very careful in how I maneuver them.
"Hi, My Little Sweet Hearts." I tell them as I look into each of their eyes. "Your Mommy loves you so, so much. Rowan, you really scared your Mommy, don't you ever, ever do that again! Alivia, you were such a brave little girl, just like your Mommy!"
I can tell they are getting hungry so a nurse them. Once they are both feeding, Amber walks in and smiles at me.
"I was just coming to feed them, but it looks like you are already doing that!" Amber tells me brightly.
"Yup." I tell her. "Are you feeding them from the milk supply I have stored here?"
"Yes." She tells me.
"Is there plenty for them? Because I am going on a raid." I ask Amber.
"There is more than enough to for both of them, so you don't need to worry about that." Amber tells me.
I finish feeding each of them, and I lay them down to sleep in there bassinets. I kiss each one on the foreheads.
"Be good little ones, remember Mommy loves you! I will be back as soon as I can!" I tell them as I walk away.
I leave quickly and make my way to Adrian's room. I stop just outside of his door and I see my handsome husband is still unconscious. I creep up to him and take his hand.
"Adrian, my love. You have to wake up. Our children need us. I have to go and find Lissa, so I need you to take care of our babies while I am gone. I love you!" I say as I lean down and kiss him on his forehead.
I turn my back and force myself to leave. All I want to do is stay with my family, but I have to find Lissa. I have already lost so much time, and without our bond, I have no idea where I should start to look for her. And, then, suddenly, I have an idea….
I sprint out of the double doors and I run as fast as I can until I come to the edge of the wards.
"Hey Riyer." I greet the guardian on patrol. "Do you mind if I step outside of the wards real quick so I can check on something?"
"Sure Rose." Riyer tells me.
I step across the wards until I start to feel a headache.
"Ok, come on. I tell them. I need your help! Please come forward, I need to talk to you!" I tell the Ghosts.
Familiar faces start to come forward. Finally, I see Lissa's family come forward. "Hey, you guys! I need your help again. I need to find Lissa. Can you help me?"
They all nod. Suddenly, a slim figure steps out from behind them and walks up to me.
"LISSA??!!!" I gasp.
Lissa looks sadly at me and nods.
"Hey Rose." Lissa says to me.
"Hey Lissa. Wait, why can I hear you so well, but no one else?" I ask her.
"It is one of the perks of being a spirit user." She tells me.
"Which one of those Bastards did it?! Which one of those sons of bitches killed you?!" I spew.
"Rose, I am not dead." Lissa tells me.
"What do you mean you aren't dead, of course you are dead, I can see you in the Spirit World!" I ask.
"No, Rose, I am not." Lissa tells me.
"Oh fuck…You…are…a….strigoi?" I ask.
"Yes." She says.
"FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yell. "Why do these sick, sadistic, mother fuckers have to do this to me?!"
